I Reject Quests

Chapter 45: Luna

Staring at the mirror with bed hair, Rewen brushed his teeth, occasionally frowning when the brush brushed over the five missing teeth. "It's about time. I should hurry up. Not like I would be late either. If I hurry up, I would be bullied by my classmates usually. The teacher always comes late. But if I don't, they will get suspi- nah, that's too far-fetched. I should take my time but people are pedantic when it comes to main characters. Hmm" After thinking for a minute, he concluded that he would neither go too early nor too late.

Rewen's classroom.

Imada yawned, sleeping while supporting his head with the desk. He had gone on a late-night date with his new girlfriend. It went well but as a result, he rarely got any sleep. His eyes swayed across the classroom before falling on an unpleasant individual. 'If I recall correctly, he was beaten to a pulp by Asuka-hime and Koyami. Forget it, I'll not ask back for the silvers. He's too pitiful.'

"Hehe, what's cooking? Imada, you good?"

A hand patted Imada's shoulders as he turned back to see a tall red-haired guy of his age grinning. 'Speak of the devil.' He was Koyami Koyashi, Arai Atsushi's main bully. Not that it was a proud identity, just that his existence is of little significance outside of bullying his classmate, Arai Atsushi.

"Good. What's up?"

"Just looking at the idiot." The "idiot" he was talking about was of course, none other than Rewen who was quietly reading a book.

'Why? Do you love him?' Imada always had this one question in mind but never really dared to ask. "Yeah, he seems to be reading a book."

"Yes, he is."

'Wait, isn't that obvious that he is reading a book? Why did I feel the need to mention that?'

"But his time reading a book has come to an end. Muahahaha! Oy, Arai! Whatcha reading!? Why don't you tell me!?"

"U-um, I-I'm reading the Gruer Shaping Rules"

"You know what? I don't care! How was that punch I gave you yesterday? Was it sweet?"

"N-no"

"Huh!? No?"

"No! I mean, yes!"

"Then take another one!"

"No!! Pl-please forgive me!"

"Haha! Can't do." Koyami laughed and pulled his arm in for a punch while Rewen covered his face with his hands.

"Stop right there!"

Just as Koyami was about to hit him, he heard a pleasant female voice.

Imada who was looking at the two with dead eyes turned his head to see a raven-haired beautiful woman with glasses standing at the door. 'Who is she? I haven't seen her around.'

"I-I-I was just p-playing." Koyami was so dumbstruck by the beauty that he fumbled while speaking.

At this, Imada sneered at him in disdain. 'Where is the tough guy I just saw?'

The raven-haired beautiful woman frowned at him for a few seconds, before her eyes shifted to Rewen. "Student Arai Atsushi, may I ask you to come to my office for a few minutes?"

Rewen stood up abruptly. "C-certainly, ma'am!"

In the hallway.

Alter Points: 1

---

Rewen looked at the meager amount and sighed. 'What a waste.' He was certain that he would get another "Alter Point" if he got punched. It's not that he is a M but rather, he figured that every bit of alter points were necessary if he wanted to survive. 'Nevermind, I have many opportunities (to get beat up) ahead.' Shaking his head off the thoughts, he looked at the woman in front.

No need to guess, she is indeed the "angel" that Rewen met last night.

Looking at the curvaceous back and plump rear, he thought of Svety as she was technically the only person in his eighteen years of life he had sexual activities with. 'No. Definitely not comparable. Like myself, Svety was also a 'C' while this angel is an 'A'. Damn it. Isn't it an insult to the whole reality that fictional characters are more beautiful than real ones?'

[Oh ho, trust me boy, you haven't seen the world yet.] The system suddenly popped up with an old pervert voice this time.

'I know. I have watched some anime and read doujins.'

[Hmph! You call those trash anime and doujins!? Never heard such a naked insult! It seems like you don't know the greatness of pre-apocalyptic Earth yet! Ah, the golden age...]

'What are you on about?'

[Seeing that you don't know, I'll graciously educate you on this matter. But first, I'll ask you - how many anime have you seen?]

'22. Maybe 24.'

[Out of those 22-24, how many of them were movies?]

'17. Maybe.'

[Do you think you have watched less anime?]

'I don't think so. Unless one is a hyper fan, no.'

[What about doujins?]

'They are memes. People usually poke fun at it. If I had to describe, they would be something which was made to show how bizarre something sexual can be, in fiction of course.'

[I mean, you are not wrong but the original doujins were 'bizarre' in a good way.]

'Interesting.'

[So what happened is-]

'Info dump later.'

In the small office, Rewen nervously glanced at the breathtaking angel who was giving a meaningful smile to him while standing close to him. "Miss Angel?"

The "angel" sweetly laughed. "Just call me Luna-nee chan."

Rewen himself didn't know why but he cringed inwardly. "Luna-nee chan?"

"Good boy." Luna clapped, then wrapped her hands around his neck. "How about I give you a reward?" She giggled, bringing her lips close to his.

Meanwhile, Rewen frowned inwardly. 'This is some quick romantic development. I'm most definitely a hare- yes I am, I don't need to repeat it.' He then smooched his lips as if waiting for the kiss. Together with his "appealing" face, he looked absolutely disgusting.

Needless to say, the lips didn't make contact. "H-heh! Just kidding! I'll give you the reward after you do something I want you to do." Luna said with an awkward face.

'You only amount to this.' Rewen felt proud. 'So what if she is an 'A'? Is there a rule that I have to like every beautiful thing?' Of course, these were only his thoughts. On the outside, he made a red face. "Oh-okay what do you want me to do?"

Luna fixed her attire and looked straight at him. "First, let me ask you. Do you know what you are?"

'Oh! Will I finally be able to get a straight answer?' Rewen shook his head.

Luna heaved a sigh of relief. "That's good."

'Of course not. The exposition must be done well. If she didn't reveal the secret even I don't know of, the 'mystery' element of the story would increase, i.e, if this is really a fictional world. Though I'm sure there's an actual reason behind her not telling me my own secret.'

Not waiting for his reply, Luna continued. "Have you heard of the graveyard located at the back of the academy?"

"I have."

"We'll be going there."

"Eh? Why?"

"To rob a grave."

"B-but"

"Are you not going to do it?"

"No! I will! I'll do anything for you!"

"Good. I'll be waiting for you at midnight at the graveyard."

Rewen nodded. "If there's nothing more, can I leave?"

Luna waved her hand.

Rewen exited her office. 'A surveillance camera?' A smile formed on the corner of his lips as he went back to his class.
