Fist King - Prologue - Episode 3: Confusion, Search, and Then

Fist King: I Will Save the Earth from Zero in Another Reincarnation, Starting from Real World

Prologue ③ Confusion, Search, and Then

The car was completely stuck in traffic. By the time I bought the VR headset and game and returned home, it was already night. While waiting in traffic, I learned various things from my father.

In the living room, my father, having finished dinner, was humming while setting up the VR headset. He told me he’d call me when the game was ready, so I returned to my room. I lay on my bed and began to organize the information.

I recalled a few things I confirmed during my conversation with my father.

○

This is undoubtedly my parents' house from 18 years ago.

My father is currently a civil servant, but he used to attend an Adventurer School.

DWC allows you to experience some of the 11 dungeons currently confirmed worldwide.

Traffic was backed up because a boar monster appeared in the city.

○

The school guide emphasized that these schools conducted special entrance exams—a concept I had never heard of. When I asked for more details, my father said that when he took the Adventurer School exam, it involved exploring a mock dungeon and taking a written test.

Also, the car radio reported that a herd of boar monsters had appeared in residential areas, causing accidents all over the city.

(There are dungeons, and there are monsters.)

I thought it was like a game, and my heart began to pound. As I was organizing the information, I noticed my smartphone lying at the edge of the bed.

"That's right! I should just look it up!"

I accidentally blurted it out. My smartphone was pushed to the corner of the bed, barely visible.

(If I search on my smartphone, I might understand my current situation!)

I quickly picked up my smartphone and tried to enter a search term.

【　　】

(What should I type?)

There were too many things I wanted to look up, and my hand froze. I sat up on the bed and thought about what information I needed.

My eyes fell on the enrollment guide on the desk, so I decided to enter the first thing that came to mind.

【Shizuoka Swordsman Junior High School】

The page that immediately appeared described the Swordsman Junior High School.

There is one swordsman school in each district of Shizuoka Prefecture. If you wish to advance not only to a knight school but also to a magic school, it seems desirable to study there.

In Shizuoka Prefecture, where I live, there are Swordsman Junior High Schools numbered 1 to 3, corresponding to the eastern, central, and western districts. There was also a description of the history of the swordsman schools, but it was too long, so I stopped reading.

Next, when I tapped on the page about the educational content, a bold sentence stood out.

【Swordsman Junior High School aims for students to acquire one skill in three years, depending on their course.】

I read this sentence over and over again.

(I can only acquire one skill in three years!?)

My interest was piqued. I wondered how anyone could fight monsters when they could only learn one skill in three years. The skills must be incredibly powerful, I thought. I started reading the page thoroughly, but since it listed no specific skill names, I decided to search again in more detail.

【Swordsman Junior High School Skill Details】

Just as I’d hoped, I found a page detailing the skills that could be acquired at the Swordsman Junior High School.

As I read through that page, I began to lose hope.

I understood the details of the skills, but I no longer wanted to attend Swordsman Junior High School.
