The Ultimate Support Character-Chapter 56 A Normal Day

The day ended with only a small progress on my Adaptability. It was already late into the night when Yuko went back from her guarding duty.

This time, I'm the one who catered for her needs. Preparing a bath and a meal for her. Ah. I could only make a simple meal but even with that, she happily ate it. After her bath, Yuko tiredly retired for bed. I watched her sleeping face as I cleaned up after her.

They're already doing this Hero work for 3 years but I guess no matter how strong they became, they'll still feel tired. Will we have peaceful days if we managed to drive off the Invading Forces from every Otherworld?

That's somehow unlikely but since it hasn't come to Earth yet, only here will we be able to experience a peaceful life like this.

"Dai-kun, don't go… go back…"

I could hear Yuko mumbling in her sleep, this is the 2nd time I heard these words from her and I couldn't guess as to what I was doing in her dream. Is it really a dream or a memory of me from before meeting her here?

That blank in my memory. Ah. No matter how I think of it, I can't remember.

I called my parents and even them were confused about it. It's like that part of my life never existed. There should be an explanation for this. As to where it is, I don't know yet.

I also soon retired to bed next to her. Tomorrow, I guess I'll only take half a day to train and use the remaining time to unwind. I might be forcing myself too much. With all these issues piled up before me, I need to rethink and reorganize the information I have for now.

When the morning came, I went to the Principal and exchanged the information I got about the higher energy and the corruption. What he used in exchange was about the Government and the other Pocket Dimensions.

Right. There were other places where the same Pocket Dimension existed. And also another set of heroes. With this kind of revelation, I thought I would be confused but thinking about it. It kind of makes sense.

Our country shouldn't be that special, right? But unlike here, the places where the other Pocket Dimension existed was regulated by their Government and it's also a well-guarded secret. They don't have the same Clairvoyant who managed to gather all the heroes in their country. They were blindly searching through numerous cases of sudden disappearance. And even if they found any, it's them who would lower their heads to be of help to them in exchange for information about the Otherworlds.

Like I thought, some of them tried abusing the activation of Ability but once they went out of the Dimension, the ability they activated became useless. Ah. But some of them grew a bit stronger. Since activating an ability can give them a bonus stat point depending on the type of ability they activated.

The Principal didn't detail about the activities of the other countries regarding the Otherworlds they uncovered but he just mentioned that they're doing the same thing as us. And also out of the 30 Otherworlds of our Heroes, there were some big enough which summoned two or more Heroes. Apart from one of us, there are other Heroes existing there.

Since we're also withholding information, the other nations didn't know about the Heroes nor this school where the Principal gathered them. Through his Clairvoyance and other means, he made sure that none of the heroes will be bothered by either the Government or the other nations scooping for information. Hell, he might even be the man who holds a large amount of power in the surface world.

And for now, there's no point thinking about the other Pocket Dimension or other unregulated Heroes. The closing of the breach is our current priority.

Since today's Monday, the school became somewhat lively again with all the normal students attending their classes. Most of the Heroes were in the Otherworld so the Principal canceled our classes for today and it's not like we will still learn anything with how urgent the situations are in the Otherworlds.

This School is called the Hope Summit High School, as one of the most prestigious schools, it became the cover for the Heroes. For the normal students, our class was special not because of the fact that they're Heroes but because all of them were too popular thanks to their looks and demeanor. Each of them even has their own Fan Clubs, Yuko included.

Well, since I'm a new student and I haven't been to class lately, I'm still a nobody for them.

But when I was walking around the school, while trying to feel the normal atmosphere of a high school, I became a center of attention.

It's all because of the custom uniform that only our class wears. There's a lot of them who were curious about who I am but there were also those who could be called die-hard fans of them, calling me out as someone pretending to belong to that class of handsome boys and beautiful girls.

If I encountered this before all the experiences I had this past month, I would've cowered and be scarred for life. But since I somehow adapted to this rowdy atmosphere already, I only brushed them off as I went past them to go back to my dorm.

I thought of spending time on normal things such as taking a stroll but I haven't considered the popularity of our class. I'll take note of that next time.

When I went back to my dorm. I met Raiden when he was about to go out. 𝑓𝒓𝚎e𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯𝘰𝐯𝒆𝑙.c𝚘m

"Yo. Daisuke. You look like you had a hard time."

He raised his hand like someone familiar to me. Ah. Did we become close? I guess that arrow I shot had an impact on him. pan(da-n0vel.c)om

"Ah. I went on a stroll around the school, and guess what?"

I smiled with difficulty. Just by the looks he's giving me, he probably already guessed what happened.

"I can imagine what you went through, we experience that all the time. If I had my weapon, I would've smashed them all already "

He gestured as if he's smashing his sledgehammer down in front of him.

"Oi. Don't go there."

This guy and his thoughts. Even if that sounds like a joke, any barbarian will already be on their knees if they heard that from him.

"I'm kidding. Anyway, good luck on your next world. I kind of envy that ability of yours. You can go to any world you wanted to go to."

Well, I have a theory that when the various cultivation paths converged, they could then travel to any world. But yeah, even the Emperor Realm Old Man Reol wanted to reach is still not that point.

"I'm only hitching a ride from your portals, you know? If it's just me, I'll be stuck here without any chance of catching up to any of you."

I wouldn't even be here if Yuko and the Principal didn't specifically choose me. 𝒇𝑟𝐞𝐞w𝐞𝑏𝙣𝑜vℯl.co𝑚

"Even so, that's still amazing. And you're getting stronger quickly. When the time comes, will you spar with me?"

Spar? So you could use me as a punching bag? Wait until I got more than your current stats.

"Err. If you don't use your Temporal Acceleration then I'm in."

Right now, even if I prepared for it, one second is just a moment. I wouldn't have time to dispel it or dodge from it without any sign from him.

"That wouldn't be fun. Think of a counter for it beforehand."

He rejected it immediately and I guess that also wouldn't be called a victory if I fought him with that handicap.

"This guy. Alright. I'll just concede defeat if I failed to find a way to fight that."

"Great! You're a really interesting guy, Daisuke."

He even laughed out loud like a barbarian when I accepted his offer to spar. In any case, getting along with him is also good for the girls I left there. He told me that he wouldn't even mind if I made a tribe for myself but it's still better for them to be under that powerful Old Man.

"Thanks?"

After that, Raiden continued to his destination while I entered my room.

Yuko already made our lunch. But she's not here, seeing the note she left, she's with her father on some business overseas.

Ah. Since he has a Portal he could just teleport themselves, right? Yuko told me they'll be back by sundown and I could enter the area to the Pocket Dimension through the key she left on the table.

Tomorrow will be the day to go to the World of Spirits. Ah. I guess I'll settle the other 3 Heroes I will add as Supported Individuals. By then I'll take another 20% of their average stats if I add Yumiko who was already registered. To close the gap between us like this, This system is broken, isn't it?
