Upon waking up early this morning, Haru found himself staring at the same screen for yet another day for an entire month.
It had been a month since that screen appeared in front of Haru every hour of the next day, forcing Haru to train every day against his own will to avoid losing half of his penis.
Every day felt like a nightmare for Haru.
But today was different. The screen, which was blue, was now appearing with a strong golden color before Haru's eyes. The change in the screen's color alone was truly surprising, but the content of the screen was different from the blue screen Haru saw every day for the past month, which he had started seeing every time he woke up.
What had made Haru wake up earlier and earlier, to the point of being awake at six in the morning.
But Haru no longer minded having to wake up early.
As long as he completed the Daily Mission, the sooner he could go back to bed and sleep.
For this reason, Haru woke up early and was faced with a different screen with slightly different content.

Haru looked at the screen, specifically at the name of the Daily Mission.
"Finally, I won't have to train every day anymore."
Seeing what he had to do, Haru jumped out of bed and started doing push-ups on the bedroom floor without wasting any more time looking at the screen with the final daily mission.
In this final daily mission, Haru had to do a thousand push-ups, a thousand squats, a thousand sit-ups, and run a hundred kilometers.
Since Haru had increased his physical abilities through the system after leveling up in the past month, doing a thousand push-ups was really just a matter of time for him.
Although Haru knew that at some point he would get tired from doing so many push-ups, as he hadn't increased his physical abilities that much, just a little above what seemed normal for humans. Especially his speed, which was like that of a highly trained Olympic athlete.
Each of Haru's push-ups was performed at an extreme speed, even for normal humans with their physical abilities at their peak, or for the fastest Olympic athletes in the world running a race of over a hundred meters in a few seconds at more than fifty kilometers per hour.
In the end, Haru's speed didn't decrease at all while doing the thousand push-ups. His speed only started to drop when Haru began doing squats, as he was quite tired from doing all the thousand push-ups in one hour without stopping to rest.

Haru opened the status screen and looked at the number of points he had left before starting to distribute them across all his physical abilities in the system's status.
Haru quickly distributed fifteen free points and kept only ten free points in reserve. He increased his strength, agility, and vitality respectively at the same time, with his agility being slightly higher than his strength and vitality.

As always, Haru kept his agility above the other stats. Now at fourteen points plus one percent, which still didn't make a difference in Haru's agility since it was too small for just one percent to make a significant enough difference for Haru to notice immediately with such an insignificant increase in agility.
Regarding strength and vitality, Haru kept them balanced at ten points, instead of increasing them a bit more to make him stronger and more durable.
But there were some stats that Haru hadn't increased by a single point yet.
After a month, Haru hadn't increased his intelligence, wisdom, charisma, or luck, which was the second-lowest stat alongside wisdom in his status.
Haru hadn't increased intelligence because he didn't have any skills that required MP for him to use. So, for that reason, he didn't increase intelligence; he saw no point in increasing something that was useless to him for now.
Haru also didn't increase wisdom, charisma, or luck because he saw no real utility in those three stats.
Haru only saw utility in his three physical stats: strength, agility, and vitality, which together increased his strength, speed, and endurance, respectively.
After increasing his physical stats, Haru moved on to squats with renewed energy in his body, which was stronger than it had been an hour ago when he started doing push-ups in his room.
Haru's speed didn't decrease at all in the following exercises.
Haru performed movements in perfect sync, without the slightest error, and his speed only started to decrease over time in the last exercise, sit-ups.
Haru took longer to complete all the thousand sit-ups because he was already somewhat tired after the squats and the thousand push-ups.
Haru managed to finish his squats and sit-ups in just over five hours, without stopping to rest during the five hours of squats and sit-ups in his room.
---
But in the end, Haru had completed each of the three exercises a thousand times in his room without rest from morning until two in the afternoon.
Push-ups
Squats
Sit-ups
Haru completed each of the three exercises a thousand times.
When Haru finished the exercises in his room, he was drenched in sweat and a bit tired after so much time without stopping to rest.
"It was easy at first, but then it gets harder and harder."
Haru grabbed a towel and wiped his sweat-drenched body. Doing all the exercises, Haru felt it was easier at the start, but the exercises became much harder over time without resting at all.
"Good thing I woke up early today, or I'd be screwed."
After wiping the sweat from his body, Haru changed his shorts and put on looser blue pants for running, put on shoes, and then wore a loose red T-shirt, all so he could run the hundred kilometers without any issues.
Haru went downstairs to the living room, eating one of the bananas he took from his inventory, where he kept some things, including food and water that strangely had a Japanese logo written "Sake."
After eating a few bananas and drinking a bottle of water, Haru left the house to run the hundred kilometers.
Haru ran toward a set of mountains to run on streets without anyone interrupting him.
Haru wanted to finish the damn mission that had threatened him every day for an entire month.
Haru ran for over an hour, circling the city near the mountains, far from places where there could be many people in one of Kuoh city's public areas that could hinder Haru's running.
Haru maintained an average pace for his current speed, which was more than double the maximum speed a human could achieve running at full speed on a hundred-meter straight track.
Haru finished running all hundred kilometers in just over an hour of running, with Haru running as fast as a top-tier Olympic athlete.
After finishing running all hundred kilometers, Haru was sitting on a bench at a bus stop, eating one of the bananas he had kept in his inventory for the past two weeks to complete the daily mission.
Since time didn't seem to pass in the inventory, the bananas didn't spoil while inside the inventory, just as hot food didn't cool down, and cold water bottles didn't warm up because they were in the inventory where time didn't pass.
After eating the banana and throwing the peel into a trash can next to the bus stop bench, Haru opened the inventory and took out a bottle of water from the bottles he kept in the inventory.
After drinking the water from the bottle, Haru looked at the system's golden screen.

"Finally, I'm free from this nightmare."
A smile appeared on Haru's face as he saw that he was finally free from what could only be described as a terrible nightmare for Haru, a nightmare that had lasted nothing less, nothing more, than an entire month of his new life in this world.
Dismissing the screen that put an end to his nightmare with a wave of his hand, Haru looked at the other screens in front of him and quickly analyzed his current condition after completing his final daily mission.
---
Level 6 Achieved
Level 7 Achieved
---
With ten thousand experience points, Haru only went up two levels. Although Haru didn't care much about his current level.
They were just some physical exercises, and in fact, they were quite normal for Haru.
Haru wasn't defeating powerful opponents to level up quickly like in a real video game; he was just exercising daily with simple exercises.

Thousand Years of Death
Rank: E
MP: 10
A Very Simple Technique, With an Excessively Dramatic Name "Thousand Years of Death" in Which the User Inserts Their Middle Fingers into the Opponent's Anus Using Magical Power to Propel the Opponent Upward a Long Distance, Causing Constipation, Pain, and Embarrassment.
Although It Causes No Real Damage, the Victims Will Feel Pain for a Thousand Years.
Warning: It Has No Effect on Unconscious Targets.
---
"Hm… causes pain for a thousand years, huh!"
A smile appeared on Haru's face as he read what the technique did at the end of the active skill's description, which he gained after completing his final daily mission.
But the name of the skill had caught Haru's attention, and after reading everything the skill did and how it worked, Haru immediately recognized his skill without thinking.
"I really didn't expect to get the technique that Kakashi used against Naruto."
Haru wasn't expecting to get the technique from Kakashi in the anime Naruto. The same technique Kakashi used at the beginning of the anime against Naruto himself.
"But… now I need to increase my intelligence to have enough MP to use this skill."
Although the technique used MP, Haru still had free points, not to mention that Haru had gained twenty more points by leveling up twice with the completion of his final daily mission.
---
"Status…"
Haru opened his status and saw that he was now at level seven, with thirty free points to use as he wished in his status.
Without wasting time, Haru added some free points to intelligence, increasing MP by ten for each free point Haru added to intelligence.

Since his new active skill only required ten MP and wouldn't be used constantly in combat like a spell or a unique combat skill, Haru increased intelligence by only five points, while saving the other twenty-five free points for when they were truly necessary, like now with the new active skill Haru had gained by completing his final daily mission.
"Now I can sleep all day in peace."
Haru got up from the bus stop bench, stretching his body, which was sore after all the exercises he had done today and every other day in the past month without a single day off for Haru to rest.
"I'm going to sleep all day tomorrow. I won't get up even if there's an earthquake in the city."
Thinking about sleeping all day tomorrow, Haru returned home walking slowly and peacefully, having finally completed all the daily missions that tormented him for an entire month under the threat of losing half his penis.
Haru felt at peace. After a month of forced training, Haru was finally feeling at peace, with no worries bothering him or giving him a headache, as he was no longer being threatened by the system's daily mission.
---
It was April 1st, the first day of a new month.
As in the past weeks, Haru had woken up early because he had gotten used to waking up early in recent weeks doing the daily mission that didn't stop threatening him every day with promises of taking half his penis.
But just because Haru had woken up early didn't mean he was going to get out of bed early.
Haru intended to sleep all day and do nothing for a single day after no longer being forced to do the daily mission. But as if fate were punching Haru hard in the face, Haru saw a familiar blue screen right in front of his face this morning.
"Damn…"
Haru muttered as he saw the familiar blue screen with a new mission standing right in front of him.

With a dead sigh, Haru got out of bed and went to the bathroom to take a cold shower to cool his head.
Half an hour after showering, Haru put on his male Kuoh Academy uniform and then went down to the kitchen to prepare his breakfast before heading to school, Kuoh Academy.
The Kuoh Academy uniform was a long-sleeved black blazer with white edges, a white dress shirt underneath the blazer, a long black bow tie, and black pants.
Since the shoes didn't matter, Haru would wear white dress sneakers.
In the kitchen, Haru put a pot of water to boil with a little water.
In the kitchen cabinet, Haru grabbed a pack of instant noodles and put it into the boiling water in the pot.
While the noodles were being prepared, Haru went to the fridge and grabbed a bottle of cold water.
Opening the water bottle, Haru took a sip of the weak drink.
The sweet taste of the cold, low-alcohol drink went down Haru's throat smoothly, as if Haru were drinking just a regular bottle of water.
After a few minutes, the noodles were ready. Haru ate the noodles and drank another bottle of cold water for his breakfast.
After breakfast, Haru headed to Kuoh Academy calmly.
Over time, more and more Kuoh Academy students were seen on the streets, most of them girls and older women who were likely studying at Kuoh Academy's college.
Kuoh Academy had several student divisions in the school.
Like the Primary School, which consisted of complete elementary education.
Then came the High School and the College or University of Kuoh Academy.
First Elementary students were aged 6 to 12, with Second Elementary students aged 13 to 15.
High School students were aged 16 to 19, from the first to the third year.
Followed by the College, from 20 to 24 years, or 22 years for a shorter program.
Kuoh Academy was absolutely massive, covering a few hundred kilometers in the center of Kuoh city. Kuoh Academy accounted for approximately thirty percent of the entire Kuoh city, which was almost as large as Tokyo with its two thousand kilometers of territory.
After more than half an hour of walking and listening to the girls and women of Kuoh Academy talking about him on the streets, Haru finally arrived at the entrance of Kuoh Academy.
Upon arriving at Kuoh Academy, Haru could hear the girls and women talking about him again… but this time coming from all sides around him, with all the girls talking about him loudly.
"Hey, isn't he handsome?"
"Very handsome."
"He's younger… but I'd take that virgin fruit."
---
Haru had passed by three college women as he entered Kuoh Academy.
"He's handsome."
"I hope he's in my class."
"A handsome guy like that has to be in my class."
"He's more handsome than Kiba."
"He's handsome, but not as handsome as my Kiba."
Haru sighed, hearing some high school girls.
"His hair is as white as snow."
"Is he Toujou-kun's brother?"
"Yeah, yeah. Their hair is the same, right? He must be her older brother."
Haru heard some Second Elementary girls talking as he passed by them, even comparing his white hair to some girl who studied with them.
"Does he already have a girlfriend?"
"Huh? Go talk to him! Maybe he'll give you a chance?!"
"He's really kind of handsome. I hope he's not a pervert like those three perverts who enrolled last year."
Haru passed through the Kuoh Academy courtyard, hearing various girls around him talking. It was already a common conversation to hear since he had seen other Kuoh Academy students on the way to school.
It wasn't an unusual conversation, and all the girls were saying practically the same thing.
"Girlfriend… he's handsome… he's Toujou's brother… he's not more handsome than my Kiba… he's more handsome than Kiba… he's not a pervert, is he?"
Haru thought about everything repetitive he had already heard on the way to school.
For Haru, it was quite annoying to keep hearing the same things nonstop from the Kuoh Academy girls. It had become irritating for Haru to keep listening to all of them talking incessantly about him, as if they had never seen a man in their lives.
"…What's wrong with the girls at this school? Since the first time I went out on the street, women looked at me the same way these girls do, but they weren't the type to talk nonstop like parrots."
Haru thought about what was wrong with the Kuoh Academy girls. He already found the older women in Kuoh city very strange, but the Kuoh Academy girls surpassed them in terms of strangeness.
"That guy is hot."
"Y-you think?"
Haru stopped for a second and looked at two little elementary girls under 10 years old talking about things they shouldn't be talking about.
"H-he's looking at us?"
"Ah… what a sexy look. I'm going to get wet."
Haru's look became very strange when he started walking again. Disgust, repulsion, confusion, contempt… it was a look that wasn't easily identified by an outsider.
"What's wrong with the girls at this school?"
Haru knew that since the first time he was seen by women, he attracted the attention of all the women on the streets of Kuoh city.
But unlike the girls studying at Kuoh Academy, the women only looked and didn't talk as much as they did.
Not to mention they weren't strange to the point of the girls he looked at with a strange look, questioning what the hell was wrong with all the Kuoh Academy girls.
---
"Kurokami-kun."
While Haru was heading to the Kuoh Academy building, he heard his surname being spoken by a cold, familiar voice he hadn't heard in over a month.
When Haru looked to where the voice came from, red and purple eyes met in a deep gaze for a second.
Haru took a moment to speak with the two girls who approached him at the entrance of the main Kuoh Academy building.
"Good morning… Shitori-senpai… Good morning Shinra-senpai."
"Good morning."
Sona and Tsubaki spoke at the same time, returning Haru's good morning with a slight bow.
Then, Sona spoke with a bit of surprise in her purple eyes and in her tone of voice, which sounded very surprised compared to her cold tone known by everyone at Kuoh Academy.
"What a big surprise, Kurokami-kun. You're very interesting… I didn't expect… this."
"Hm? What didn't you expect?"
Haru didn't understand what Sona was suddenly talking about.
"You arrived very early, Kurokami-kun. It's a surprise to me to see a student as competent as you with your studies on your birthday. By the way… Happy Birthday, Kurokami-kun."
"Oh… thank you, senpai."
Haru thanked Sona, not even remembering that today was his birthday in this world.
"Unfortunately, I don't have a gift for you, Kurokami-kun. But if you need someone to help you get to know Kuoh Academy."
Sona pointed to Tsubaki beside her while talking to Haru about needing someone to help him get to know Kuoh Academy, since Haru didn't actually know Kuoh Academy from the inside and only had a small view from the outside.
"Tsubaki can show you around Kuoh Academy after the Entrance Ceremony."
"Thank you, Shitori-senpai. That's a big help to me."
"Tsubaki will meet you after you get to know your classroom, is that okay with you, Kurokami-kun?"
"Uh-huh. That's great."
Haru nodded, mumbling positively before answering.
"Alright. Goodbye, Kurokami-kun. See you later then."
"Goodbye, senpais."
Sona and Tsubaki went their way somewhere, while Haru entered the school building.
But that small interaction between Haru and Sona attracted a lot of attention and caused a small commotion among the students who were watching Haru and Sona talking amicably for a minute from afar.
"Eeeeeeeeee!…"
"Does he already know the Student Council President?!"
"I-is he Kaichou's boyfriend?"
"Kaichou got the handsome new student first."
"That's not fair! Kaichou!"
"I can't ask him to be my boyfriend anymore."
"First Gremory-kun and Himejima-kun got Kiba-kun. Now Shitori-kun got the new Kiba-kun-level student."
"Why do these little girls take the only decent boys in this school? It's not fair!"
---
"Ahhh, a threesome with Kaichou… that's bad, my panties will get stained."
"Er? Are you okay?"
While rumors and strange conversations started to arise from the interaction between Haru and Sona.
Sona and Tsubaki calmly moved away from the common people through the hallways of the Kuoh Academy building.
"Kaichou, Kurokami-kun…"
"Has changed a lot in a month. Right."
"Yes, Kaichou, Kurokami-kun's Aura has grown dozens of times more compared to the Aura he had a month ago. It's an incredible growth to witness in someone apparently ordinary."
"Yes. A month ago, his Aura was almost nonexistent. It was so weak that if I hadn't seen him alive with my own eyes, I would have thought he was already dead with how weak his Aura was that day we saw him at the gate."
Sona recalled the first time she and Tsubaki met Haru in front of the Kuoh Academy gate a month ago.
"But now, Kurokami-kun's Aura is at the peak of the magical power Aura a normal human would typically have in their short life."
Sona quickly realized that Haru's Aura was at the peak of a normal human's magical power Aura.
Which was actually surprising for Sona, who had noticed how much magical power Haru had a month ago, which was literally no magical power on the day they met a month ago at the Kuoh Academy gate.
"His Aura grew almost fifty times in a short span of a month. It's truly incredible growth for just a human who should be ordinary."
"Yes, Kaichou. For such a change, maybe… Kurokami-kun is possessed by a Sacred Gear."
"I also think that might be the case with Kurokami-kun. Perhaps a Sacred Gear that limited his magical power by not being awakened, but now that it's had contact with the supernatural, it's awakening and bringing out his magical power, which was always limited by the Sacred Gear."
While Sona spoke, she quickly came up with a theory for why Haru had no magical power when they met a month ago at the Kuoh Academy gate.
"So, my job is to identify if he has a Sacred Gear?"
"Exactly. That's why you'll show him around Kuoh Academy after the Entrance Ceremony. Use that time to identify if Kurokami-kun has a Sacred Gear or not."
Thinking that Haru might be possessed by a Sacred Gear, Sona ordered Tsubaki to identify if Haru really had a Sacred Gear as they thought he might, for his Aura to change to that extent in a month.
"For you, who is also a Sacred Gear possessor, it's an easier job to identify a Sacred Gear in a human, right, Tsubaki."
"Of course, Kaichou."
Tsubaki smiled with great confidence in completing the task of identifying a Sacred Gear in Haru Kurokami.
"But Kaichou, if Kurokami-kun has a powerful Sacred Gear, will you leave him to her?"
"Hm. Of course. Rias needs someone strong more than I do in her Peerage."
"I understand, Kaichou."
When the two finished their conversation and continued down the hallway silently, Tsubaki suddenly thought of something.
"Hm. Kaichou, what if Kurokami-kun doesn't have a Sacred Gear? Worse, what if he's a spy infiltrating Kuoh Academy?"
"I've already thought about that, Tsubaki."
"What's your conclusion, Kaichou?"
"If Kurokami were a spy, there would be no reason for him to hide his Aura to that extent openly. Unless he wanted to be caught, especially now that his Aura is greater. Second… as annoying as my older sister is, she would still know of his existence in the supernatural world. Tsubaki, there's nothing in the supernatural world that matches all of Kurokami-kun's characteristics. Besides, Tsubaki, no one is foolish enough to cause a war between the three factions. And third, Kurokami is human and didn't possess anything sacred with him, which would make Kurokami an envoy of the church, but our demonic instincts didn't react to any kind of danger linking him to the church or even the fallen angels. Tsubaki, Haru is a normal human who might have a Sacred Gear. And if he's a foreign threat from one of the other factions, it would be from the mages' side… which is impossible since our relationship with the mages is good, and if he were from the mages' side, we would have had a warning from my sister long ago. But we can also consider that he's from a Shinobi Clan, which would explain how he could have hidden his Aura so stupidly to the point that it was almost nonexistent, something that assassin ninjas are experts at. But… the Shinobi Clan in the city would have reported Kurokami-kun's existence if he were a Shinobi from another Shinobi Clan or their own Clan."
"So it's impossible for him to be a spy?"
"Yes, Tsubaki. But that doesn't mean I've completely ruled out the possibility of Kurokami being a spy or some kind of threat. If in the end Kurokami is an enemy, we will eliminate him."
"Understood, Kaichou."
The conversation between Sona and Tsubaki had completely ended.
