Chapter 325 – Episode 37. Teacher, Please Become a Club Advisor!
“You worked hard today too. As I said in the morning, the club will be decided by Friday. Oh, please finish Saionji and come to the training preparation room. Alic will also stop by for a moment.”
“Yes, I’ll go see Ryuta.”
“… I understand.”
As it was time for the finale, they briefly talked about the club, and Alic called Saionji and Diana to check their abilities and decide how much support they would provide.
Well, since it was a request from my tutor who was later called one of Japan’s three swordsmen, I plan to give him low-level cyber implants on his limbs even if his abilities were poor. However, since it is a talent that Iren Shimokawabe highly valued, he would not be without abilities at all.
“Ryuta, Alrik is here.”
Since his limbs were clearly intact, it seemed that Alrik prepared faster. I looked at Alrik and gently stroked his head. Alrik was quietly feeling my touch like a calm cat.
“Do you know the location of Cheongsimgwan?”
“Yes, I went there for lunch too.”
You probably didn’t go to Cheongsimgwan because you didn’t have anyone to eat lunch with, right? I’ll have to ask Akina Konoe or Yuka Otagi to eat with Alic if he eats alone.
“Okay? “Are you nice to your friends?”
“Yeah, everyone thinks I’m cute…” .”
Well then, that’s a relief. Unless you’re a pervert, there won’t be many people who want to harass something cute.
“If anyone is bullying you, please tell me. Especially if the gym teacher tries to do something strange, please tell me.”
I mentioned the pervert-looking gym teacher I saw at the playground today and told Alrik to tell me if anything happened.
“It will be late now. Go quickly.”
“Huh… “I’ll go, see you tomorrow, Ryu-ta.”
Not long after sending Alic, Saionji Diana arrived at the entrance, pulling a wheelchair. And… But these days, people use hand-pulled wheelchairs. How much are you treated with contempt by your family?
However, these days, most wheelchairs can be controlled with a joystick. The development of wheelchairs stopped with the development of cyber implants, but wheelchairs that could be turned by hand were still rare.
“Saionji, come this way.”
“Yes…”
I can’t see my face because my long bangs cover my face down to my eyes. Can I see the front clearly?
I was wearing the glasses of the ruins in advance, so when I focused on Saionji Diana, a translucent window appeared, and I could see Saionji Diana’s status window.

Characteristics
◇Mechanical modification: Right arm implant [Lowest modification]
◆Swordsmanship Genius [Growth Narrative Characteristic]: Can easily learn swordsmanship. Depending on your effort, your characteristics can change to one of the following: master swordsman/saint/superhuman.
◆Master’s Sense [Narrative Characteristics]: With excellent senses, one can sense life, the other person’s presence, and intentions. The moment you feel alive, a correction is added to your agility ability.
◆Wolf on the battlefield [Narrative trait]: Feels the flow of battle well. If you have a companion in a battle situation, your judgment and concentration stats will receive a significant correction.
◆Kamaitachi’s Dance [Unique + Characteristic]: The maximum values and stats of Dexterity and Nervousness increase by 1, and when using a blade, you can use Wind Blade.
Oh… His abilities were so good that Airen Shimokawabe highly regarded him. In particular, the characteristics were all related to combat and swordsmanship, so the combination was very good.
In particular, swordsmanship genius is a growth trait that allows you to become a swordsman if you practice your swordsmanship diligently, so although the grade was epic level, the actual value was above epic level.
Master’s senses are a trait I also possess, and it was quite a useful trait in combat and exploration.
The wolf on the battlefield had the abstract effect of being able to feel the flow of battle, and had a stat correction feature if he had a companion. This stat correction was quite good, so it was a trait that made you always have a companion.
The last trait, Kamaitachi’s Dance, allows you to use additional stats and a technique called Fuin, and it was a trait with the romance of being able to use swordsmanship and throw wind blades.
It was an essential trait when going to the Sword Wind Swordsman tree, and it was a very good trait that allowed you to cut down a building with a sword wind if you learned it in polarity along with a high-level wind ability. Since Saionji Diana does not have wind-type characteristics, she can probably be used as a mid-range attack.
Although the characteristics were very well-balanced, the stats were miserable due to missing limbs and the resulting depression. Due to missing limbs, his strength, agility, appearance, and charm stats dropped significantly, and his willpower stats were at a low level due to depression.
Moreover, although I had mastered quite a few techniques, more than half of them were unable to be used due to missing limbs. At this rate, it would be natural for me to suffer from depression.
Won’t these problems be solved if I install a top-quality cyber implant? I think it would be great if you could contact Eve and attach detachable limbs that wouldn’t be noticeable like normal limbs for everyday use, and custom limbs with powerful options for battle.
Just by not using the wheelchair, my depression may improve, and if I become even faster and stronger than before, I may be completely cured, so I don’t care about 〈 status abnormalities: missing limbs, depression 〉 in that status window.
Good. At this level, it seemed like a good idea to make a large investment. It’s hard to find someone with skills as good as Saionji Diana’s, so even if you only get Slam skills until level 20, the investment cost will be wasted.
“Line… Saengnim… ?”
Saionji Diana looked at me with a slightly fearful expression. I keep looking at him without saying anything. What is this person? It must feel like that. Because you can’t imagine that I’m reading your own status window.
“I heard a story from Teacher Airen Shimokawabe. “She used to do kendo, right?”
“… Yes.”
Diana Saionji answers my question with a downcast expression. It was difficult to make out her facial expressions because of her hair.
“I heard that you are a very good swordsman. So, I’d like to provide some support…”
I thought it would be better to just speak directly without going around talking, so I told them about the sponsorship right away.
“… Sponsorship?”
“Okay, sponsorship. First, we will provide cyber implants for all of your limbs, and if you wish, we will even support your living expenses.”
“To me…”
It was Diana Saionji who was quietly muttering to my words. She couldn’t hear very well, so I said, huh? He brought his ear close to her.
“It’s not worth it to me. “I don’t have the ability to repay the support that the teacher said.”
“The value is determined by me, the sponsor, not you. Of course, support is not provided for free. Then, it would be more correct to say transaction rather than sponsorship.”
In fact, the top-of-the-line cyber implant I was going to do was quite expensive. It would not be a burdensome amount if she received proper support from the Saionji family, but currently, Saionji Diana was almost completely deprived of her family after her accident.
Although she had some respect for her family and paid tuition for the St. Francis Academy she attended, it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was an outcast from her family, given her prosthetic arm and old wheelchair. If you receive support from me in such a situation, you probably say it that way because it seems like there is no way to repay it.
“What is the price… ?”
“Just graduate and work at my company for a few years.”
In fact, I still didn’t know where to assign Saionji Diana, so I vaguely said it was my company, but they seemed to realize that receiving my support was not an easy task.
The purpose of putting a limb on the line was to force Diana Saionji to fight, and in the end, the only companies fighting were security companies and PMCs, so she could have been afraid of mortgaging her life for several years after graduation. But it would be much better than living in a wheelchair with prosthetic limbs like now.
“I am… Can you do it?”
“Then I will place one more condition.”
I was planning to offer one more crucial thing to Diana Saionji, who was still hesitant.
“I will help you avenge your parents.”
“… I like it.”
Surely Diana Saionji would be able to feel who harmed her own parents. But since she has no evidence or power, she must be feeling discouraged. Because even though she knows her parents’ enemies, she can’t take revenge.
“Good. First, we need to find a product that suits your abilities, so come to the address I give you tomorrow.”
“… Thank you…”
Although her voice was damp, Diana Saionji did not burst into tears. If you keep suppressing your emotions like that, you will become depressed.
“It’s not a sponsorship relationship, it’s a transaction relationship, so please tell me whatever you need.”
“… Yes. “I’ll go back today first.”
Saionji Diana sniffled and walked out of her training room. I sent a line to Shimokawabe Airen saying that I would support Diana Saionji.
If you increase your favorability little by little in this way, you may be able to hire Airen Shimokawabe as well.
