Chapter 13 : Preparation for the Worse
March 5, 30
Friday
It's been two days since I came back to my home. My dad's units are currently protecting us.
It seems like even when someone was trying to attempt to kidnap me, I still need to attend school. I will start attending Haruta Academy on Monday.
Dad's units will protect our whole family until Monday. If nothing happened within this time, they will go back to their old patrol schedule and the police will only check on us twice a day.
That's what I heard my dad said while we were eating together two days ago.
My stuffs on my apartment like the tinkertech computer and some others were put at my room.
My room was somewhat large for a single person. Though it was cramped now because of my things.
I got my computer, my smartphone, some of my chemicals, dresses, my school materials, and a lot of boxes containing some metals, fabrics, and other stuffs I ordered online.
Most of these boxes are clattering all over my room, some of it are placed besides the entrance to my room.
So yes... there are a lot.
I was planning on making chem bombs, drones, guns, surveillance cameras, mechanical units, and a lot more. Sadly, I can't do most of that without having the equipments and the necessary place for it.
So I ask for my family first and got the permission for them before going with my plan.
That is, using our storage as my personal laboratory.
My mother or father will occasionally check up on what I am doing. I can created anything I want so long as I am sure that it was safe for everyone else.
So no hazardous technologies or equipments.
Now as for my abilities...

(AP : 0)
Tier 0 : [Drawing IV] [Gaming VIII] [Typing V] [Dexterity X] [Arithmetic IV] [Programming X] [Music Composition IV] [Voice Pitch I] [Singing IV] [Animation IV] [Improvising V] [Scientific Knowledge V] [Technological Knowledge V] [Memorising V] [Language Comprehension I] [Reading I] [Prediction V] [Martial Arts V] [Escape V] [Engineering V] [Production V] [Constitution I] [Special Operative Training IV]
Tier 1 : [Blink I] [Invisibility I]
So first of all, I upgraded my Production skill. Now it became very unrealistic. It was like I am in a state of acceleration, I can easily create any objects I want so long as I can do it.
Production's effect is very broad. It basically increases the speed, efficiency, and quality of anything about producing. Like cooking a food, crafting a stuff, building something, etc.
I am curious why this is a Tier 0 ability?
Anyway, next is Constitution. Originally, I was thinking about a skill to increase my Stamina because I found out that I can easily get tired physically. I can't do manual labor for a single hour. I need to take frequent breaks on building my machines because I easily get tired. But after thinking about it for awhile, I think that just increasing my stamina doesn't solve my problem at all. I also need my body to be tougher and stronger somewhat so I can do heavy labor on myself on extended time.
Strength, Endurance, Vitality, Stamina, Vigor, and a lot more doesn't really solve my problem unlike the skill Constitution.
Constitution literally increases my physical capabilities. It's Strength, Endurance, Vitality, Vigor, Stamina, Muscle Mass, and all physical buffs in a single pack!
I instinctively knew that Constitution have something to do with my physical body. Making it more healthy and stronger or something.
My immune system also increases because of this. It won't be easy for me to get sick.
I just put it on level one though because I am not that desperate to go fight my enemies head on. I just need my body to be stronger so I can do my work without quickly getting tired.
Because of Constitution, I can now work for eight hours before I get tired. I am also very healthy based on my own check up (Scientific Knowledge also includes knowing about biology). On estimate, I am the ideal healthy person for an average person.
Now on my other skill, I pick Special Operative Training because of a single reason.
It will cover most of weakness. One of it is my mid to long range combat. Another is subterfuge and infiltration tactics. And there are a lot more.
I first thought of picking something like stealth or infiltration ability but after asking my Ability Shop to help me find a skill, that skill was recommended to me.
I was skeptical at it first but after trying the skill, I learned everything I need to know as a special operative. All specialties, all weapon handlings, all procedures, all team handling, and a lot more.
And that's just a level one of that skill.
Leveling it up, I acquired more knowledge and even all the necessary experience and skills to fight even in a war that can easily cause all the civilization to breakdown.
I can easily hack through some private sites (and oh boy, did their security sucks) and learned more about the crime scene in this whole country.
I can easily get out unnoticed by my dad's unit currently protecting me. I also know where to go and what good areas I can go so I can lost everyone who will be going to chase me if I run now.
I can also easily disarm these people before they can even react. I even have a knowledge how to use their weapons easily.
I also have the necessary knowledge and skills to protect all my family and kill all my enemies.
In short, this skill literally covered everything I need to protect myself and even my family.
Still, I felt unsatisfied by these skills and felt it won't protect me at all so I look at my Tier 1 skills and pick two skills. Invisibility and Blink.
It costs 10 AP on each Tier 1 ability and it will increase when I want to upgrade it.
So Blink. It's a Warcraft spell that basically let me teleport on a short range. I am the only one who can teleport and can't really pick someone along with me when using this skill. Maybe when I level this up I can also let others teleport along with me?
All the items that was currently in my possession will also get along with me. Only people, animals, or insects can't get along with me when I teleported. The maximum range of my blink is only 10 meters.
Invisibility is also like my blink. In this case, it makes me and all of my possessions in my body to become unseen. Basically making me invisible.
It doesn't affect anyone I touch like a human, an animal, or an insect. Well, I just got this knowledge instinctively.
If an object is in contact with me though, it will become invisible. But that object must not weight more than my body mass.
So a real invisibility and a short range teleportation. These abilities can be used near instantaneously. Blink doesn't even need line of sight and it seems like I won't accidentally overlap myself on a wall, the floor, a person, or anything else.
It's like I somehow know where I can safely teleport within my ten meter radius.
Anyway, I think these abilities are not enough so I will still be accumulating more ability. Or in fact, I will be saving up my AP starting this tomorrow because I want to buy an ability.
Specifically, I want to buy the ability called as Weapon Creation.
It's a Tier 2 ability and I don't know what it can do but I am in need of expendable weapons. But there is so much things I can do before I lost all of it. I need an inexhaustible source of weapon and I think creating my own weapon would be amazing!
That would be like Shirou Emiya!
And I find out that Weapon Creation was just a Tier 2 ability. Well, I ask for something like that and the ability shop simply recommended that skill to me.
So I will be saving up my AP and buy that skill. If I have that skill, I can focus myself on creating other things instead of wasting some of my time creating my personal weapons.
I just hope that Weapon Creation doesn't disappoint me.
"... Ah, it was done at last"
I muttered to myself as I look at the machinery that I made.
In fact, there are a lot of things I made but this one is the most important.
This machine looks like a cooling chamber with a lot of thick metal pipes circling around it. Then, there is a specialized computer connected to it.
This machine is called as a Light Crystal Producer.
The machine is very complex but to make it simple, it have a panel that can absorb harmless light particles on the outside and these light particles will go through these thick metal pipes. These pipes are in a state of vacuum and it will filtrate any particles except these light particles. Then, as programmed, the machine will take care of this particles and solidify these to become a light crystal.
Yes, a very simple explanation. The procedure is very complex if I explained in scientific terms.
So what is light crystals?
Based on my Scientific Knowledge, light crystals are literally light that acquired a solid mass. It will look like bright crystal after it was done on it's process.
I won't say how it was done because it's very complex to average person. All I will say is that it was all hyper condensed and super concentrated light that were cooled and also oxidised at it's later stage and was repeated at incredible speed until it became solid.
All of these later procedures will occur on the large vacuum chamber. These large vacuum chamber will put specific particles inside it to make it possible for the light to become solid.
At first, it sounds so unrealistic. That kind of thing is impossible. But nope, light can become a crystal so long as the proper procedures are made. It was real!
So what will I be doing to these light crystals?
These light crystals will then be processed by another of my machine that I am still in the middle of finishing. Well, I will be finishing tomorrow.
There is machine I have in my mind that I can create that might be able to help me when things got worst.
The light crystal is just a first step for me.
This Light Crystal Producer will now do it's work automatically. I already integrated a program for it so it will do all the necessary procedures to create light crystals.
For now, I need to go back home and wash myself. I smell...
""""Thank you for the food!""""
After we said that, we quickly go and eat our food.
Currently, we are in the dining room along with my mother, my father, and my little sister.
My father's units are still outside, looking out for us.
Well, they have their own shifts so I think it's alright.
Now I just need to think more about what to do next.
The investigation about Fumika's location have still no result. The investigation will continue but they said that if they still can't see anything about Fumika until the end of the month, they will declare this as a lost cause.
My prediction was telling me that I can't wait that long. I will be losing Fumika little by little as time passed.
So I will just wait until March 15. If they still can't find anything about her at all, I will do it by myself!
"Oh right Shiho-chan, your uniforms and school materials for Haruta Academy just arrived awhile ago. I put it on your bed so can you please take care of it on yourself?"
I was taken out of my musings when I heard my mother said that.
"Ah... oh, yeah... I'll do that" I replied before going back to my musings.
Haruta Academy was literally a few yards away from our home. It'll only take a minute or two before I get there.
It was fairly large but due to it being an academy so each of it's facility was not that big.
There is the preschool, elementary, middle school, and high school in the academy.
I was a student of that academy last year on middle school. That's why I know how that school works somehow.
Female highschool uniforms is different than the middle school uniforms.
"Onee-chan will become a special students!~ That's so amazing!~~"
... Wait, I think I heard Miyako said something I don't want to...
"Isn't it? Isn't your Onee-san so amazing?"
"Keichi... can you not give my daughters some ideas. Also, Shiho! Remember to always be careful there. I don't care if you have powers or something, just don't get it in your head when you started attending there..."
Wait wait wait! What the hell!?
I am a special student!?
"Uhmm... Okaa-san? I am a special student?"
"Hm? Yes... the school just delivered the uniform for female special students. I am sure you are getting excited having the chance to join the ranks of those special students. I can't really stop you but all I say is just be careful, try not to do anything dangerous, and take care of yourself"
"Kyoka my dear, you are exaggerating again. Shiho-chan, just do what you want. Of course you need to be careful... but don't let our words restrict you and do what you think will make you happy"
Mom looks so unsatisfied when dad tries to encourage me more.
But wait...
"Uhmm, why am I on the special class? I thought I said I want to be on the normal classes?"
"Eh!?~~ Onee-chan doesn't want to be cool!?~~"
I heard my little sister wailed in dissatisfaction, and glancing at her, I can see that she was giving me that sad look of her.
"Well, if you are a Talented then yes, you can stay on the normal class but... your not right?" My dad says to me. "It's a law that those who clearly shows supernatural abilities will be taken to the special class, regardless of the student's decisions" he continued.
... It's a law!?
Wait, now that I think about it, there are no super powered people who goes to the normal class. I remembered that some special students are friendly to unpowered people but they can't get on the same class just because he got a power and the others doesn't.
I was busy going through the crime groups on the internet so I don't know that this division of powered and unpowered is a law.
Prediction, this law was made to ensure stability in their school life. Putting unpowered and a powered student in the same room will cause undue chaos no matter how much restriction was placed on the students.
... I see... thanks Prediction.
In any case, all I am doing when I was on Yuehori High is making trouble on that school. They want to put me on the special class because it's not just for their own interest, it's also a law.
Still, I think this is still a clear bias for the unpowered people.
Prediction, this law was the most effective one for school programs after countless years. This is not a clear bias for those who have power but was just a result of multiple trials and errors on the government side.
... Is that so?
... I think that's it right. My Prediction told me why the government did this law.
So it's just because this law was more effective than the past ones.
Why is it? Maybe it have something to do with those powered students who can't really stop themselves on using their powers? Or those who have unstable powers or something?
Maybe something bad happens and the government felt that this law makes the majority of the students safer than just bunching them up all.
Still, a class that signifies strength is very primitive. I know the whole school hierarchy in this world somewhat.
Unlike on normal students who only needs their academic competence and their knowledge to get to the higher grade and sections. Special students also needs to be strong, their rank was dictated not by just their tests and their school performance but also for their strength.
The strongest one can go to the better sections while the weaker ones goes to the worse sections.
That school system is so primitive... and also dangerous.
I don't want to be in the special class because fighting was basically a chore there. It needs to be done.
Not even fighting at all will only cause that special student to be look down by their peers and the whole school staffs.
That kind of pressure... I can't bear that!
Shit! I hate this dammit!
I became silent for awhile and it seems like my family noticed me and they also became silent.
My little sister seems to like the idea of me going to the special class and was confused why I didn't like it.
... Ugh, I can't really do anything about it. It's a law.
When I got to my room, I quickly tidied up my school materials and new uniforms.
Unlike the one I saw in the past when I saw normal highschool students in Haruta Academy, the special student uniform looks like a university uniform with the main color being red and on it's chest pocket it have the symbol of the school.
The symbol of the school was that of three sakura petals falling on the ground. Different from Yuehori which have a symbol of a full moon with the image of a hopping rabbit.
"I can't believe that I will be a special student. I don't want that kind of trouble" I muttered to myself with a sigh.
I am already busy enough on making the machines I needed to create more facilities so I can create more materials that I need to process and make the things I needed.
It's a lot of process and I need ten days before I can finish all of it.
It will get more harder to do it if I also need to think about my problems on the school.
It's alright if it's just the normal class. I can be the comeback student who suddenly became a genius but was still approachable by the people. At least they won't just randomly challenge me to a battle because I beat their scores on a test.
Being a student on the special class will just cause more problems on me. There will be those weird person who'll just declare that I am their rival or something. Some people who would want to become my subordinate. Or I also need to prepare myself on the monthly school tournaments.
My prediction was going on an overdrive. Giving me lots and lots of predictions about what will most likely happen when I got to the school.
I didn't even want this!
Damn it! It's also my fault! If I just forced myself to become more low key, all of this things wouldn't have happened!
And my prediction told me that all of this started when I published my first game as Lady Otaku!
Ugh... what a real mess...
"Achooo!"
Luidelle looks at Raisen with a tilt of her head.
"Ah! Is there someone who is talking about me!?"

A/N
So finally, this chapter was done!
I defeated writer's block!
Anyway, I will be ending this chapter at that part.
While I said that this story will become dark at this point, there will still be funny parts on the story.
I am that kind of writer. Always going from funny to serious.
Blame LN and WN and also animes for this. That's just how I write!
Also, yes... I did a lot of handwavings in this story!
Review if you like, helpful comments are welcome and thanks for reading this!~~
