The Laziest System: Sign-Up System

Chapter 2



I smile a little when I see my reflection in the mirror. I cannot help but feel funny at the sight of myself. In front of me is a handsome man with light blue hair and silver eyes. Those two features are something that did not exist in my previous life. At least not naturally.

However, in this place? You can get a lot of hair color. Blue? My next neighbor has the same hair color. Red? The main heroine of this world has blood-red hair. Green? Go ahead; nobody will think you are weird.

To me, it is still funny even after more than a decade of seeing it.

I shake my head and take my bag. After checking if I missed something for a few seconds, I go downstairs and walk to the college.

While walking to the college, my new enchanted nose can smell something weird. I can now smell a bird, fox, and wet dog. However, as far as my eyes can see, there are no dogs or cats near me.

I follow the smell and notice it is coming from one of the people walking near me. Huh. Are they Youkai? Huh. That is different. I can smell their nature and species, huh? The one that smells like a fox is Kitsune, and the one that smells like a dog must be Inugami.

I shake my head and continue to walk to the college. I don't want to get into that part of the world, at least not yet. I know that I will be dragged into that part of the world sooner or later because of my circumstances.

If I did not have the so-called Weekly System, I could blend it with the rest of the mundane people and only have a slight chance (close to zero) of being dragged into their world.

I only hope that there is only a small amount of Youkai in my class. I'm not yet used to my new enchanted sense.

~A few hours later~

Bloody hell.

I release a tired sigh and lean over the chair inside the cafeteria while munching egg and tuna sandwiches. It looks like I challenged Murphy, and he decided to put more than ten Youkai inside my classroom.

My poor nose gets bombarded by animal smells. I can smell cats, dogs, birds, lizards, and some weird smells like morning wind and brimstone. It is overwhelming.

I release another sigh and take a bite of my lunch.

"Hey, can I sit here?"

I look to the side and see a young woman with beautiful golden hair and orange eyes.

"Sure."

I know what race she is. She releases the smell of a fox. She is a Kitsune.

"My name is Karin Kazekawa. It is nice to meet you."

"My name is Ryan Hernandes. It is nice to meet you too."

"You are the new foreign student, right?"

"Yup. I'm from Indonesia."

"Ohhh~ Your Japanese is good."

"Thank you. I have been learning Japanese for a long time."

That is not a lie. I have been learning Japanese since I was a teen, and I also have a decade of learning Japanese from my past life.

"Ehhh~"

She nods, takes a bite of her bento, and says.

"So, why did you decide to take Civil Engineering, and why did you choose Kyoto instead of Tokyo? If you can get in here from that international test, you should be able to go to Tokyo."

"Tokyo is too crowded for my taste. Kyoto is packed but it has an air of peace unlike Tokyo."

"Right?~ It is because of the 'mayor' of Tokyo that cannot make it as peaceful as Kyoto."

Oh? Is that venom, I hear? Does she hate the one who watches over Tokyo?

"Yup. I prefer Kyoto because of how peaceful this place is even when there are a lot of people in this city."

After I say that, we stay silent to eat our food. The situation gets awkward when I notice she keeps looking at me while raising her finger, but she quickly puts them down a second later. I sigh a little and say.

"What is it? Please say what is in your mind."

"I-I um… I'm sorry to sound rude but can I ask a personal question?"

"Depends on the question. However, I will not be offended so ask your question."

"Ummmm, can I ask why you smell like a Dragon?"

Ah, it looks like they can smell me as well. I know that Dragon Slayer from Fairy Tail is more akin to a dragon rather than their previous race, and they have a chance to become a dragon in the future.

I nod my head and say.

"Ah, it looks like you can smell it, huh? That is my magic, not Sacred Gear if you need to know."

"I think all of the Youkai here can smell it."

"All of them?"

Seriously?! I thought the only reason she could smell my magic was that she was closer to me, but the other could smell it as well?!

"Oh, yes. The only reason why the Tengu Police did not arrest you is because you did not have any malice like many Sacred Gear users."

"Malice? Do all Sacred Gear users release malice?"

"Not all of them. However, most Dragon-Type Sacred Gear always releases malice. They are so deep in their desire that they release a lot of malice from their body."

"You guys have been through a lot, huh?"

"Yup! The Devil and their stray devil always cause us problems, the Sacred Gear user wants to take us as if we are animals, and the Fallen Angel tries to experiment on us. However, we will always pull through because we are Youkai and we are a tough bunch."

I smile at her and nod my head.

"That's good."

"Anyway, you have a great smell, Ryan! You smell like the morning breeze with a strong hint of dragon smell."

"Really? Huh. That is good, I guess."

"That is more than good!"

Karin and I have a pleasant talk for the rest of our break.

~A week later~

It's been a week since I awakened the system, and I must say that the gift I got is really something. With the help of Karin and her fellow Youkai, my growth skyrocketed. It looks like there is a different course for the people from the supernatural world.

The course involves physical training and magical training.

Karin takes me to one of the professors, who is also a Youkai, and explains to her that I'm a magician. For the past week, the trainer pushed me hard. According to them, I have a lot of mana reserve, but my physical strength is pathetic.

However, because of [Sky Dragon Slayer] magic, my body adapts faster, and I can heal all the injuries I got from the training I do.

I shake my head and get up from my bed. Today's schedule is a sparring match between students, a magical spar. I have been itching to test my magic. I quickly take a bath and walk downstairs to cook some breakfast.

However, before I can cook my food, the system appears.

|It has been a week! Your gift is ready! Do you want to take it?|

|Accept?| |Y/N|

I press the Y button and brace for something to hit me this time. A second after I press the button, I can feel my body get warm, and a rush of knowledge appears inside my head. This time, it is not as painful as before.

Not only that, the process is not as long as before. It only lasts for a minute.

|Congratulations! You get Take Over: Beast|

I also know this magic. This magic also comes from Fairy Tail. The owner of this magic is Elfman Strauss.

If I remember correctly, Elfman can increase the number of the beast he can use the more beast he beats, right? At the moment, I can only transform into three beasts: Lizardman, Weretiger, and The Beast.

Lizardman is the tank, Weretiger is the speed-type beast, and The Beast is the most powerful takeover I can use. I can handle the first two, but the third needs training and control. I need some place where not many people can see or ask the professor to watch over me in case I lose control.

*BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP*

I snap and look at my watch.

"Dammit! I only have five more minutes."

I quickly take the instant noodles to the cupboard, cook them and eat them. I take my bag and start to run to college. I don't want to be late for my first spar.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

|Karin Kazekawa - Three-Tailed Kitsune|

I cannot contain my excitement when I hear Ryan's name called by the professor.

"That's him, huh?"

I look to the side and see my friend, Yuki, sitting beside me. Yuki is a Nekomata, one of many Nekomata who decides to stay in Kyoto instead of going to the Underworld, and one of many who survive the massacre that happened a few years ago in the underworld.

The Devil says that one of the Nekomata kills a noble heir of the noble clan of the underworld, and the people take reckless action, killing all the Nekomata in the underworld. More than a thousand nekomata died that day.

The Devil might say it like that, but we know the truth. Three Nekomata survive the massacre and return to Kyoto to report it to Lady Yasaka. Sadly, we cannot do much about them. Shinto faction did not want to get involved even when Lady Yasaka begged them, and without their help, we could not match the power of the Devil race.

With a heavy heart, Lady Yasaka accepted the compensation given to her by the four Satans.

"Karin?"

I shake my head and smile at her.

"Yup. His name is Ryan, and I'm excited to see him fight!"

"Oh? Do you know what kind of magic he uses? His dragon scent is not coming from Sacred Gear, right? He cannot use it in this match after all."

"No. The professor and the Chancellor already check and he is telling the truth. His magic is the one sending that scent of a dragon."

"Ohh~ I wonder what it was. I wonder if it is transformation magic."

"The same! Ryan is not willing to tell me his magic. Also, transformation magic will not send the same scent as the one he released."

"You are right. We have people that specialize in transformation magic and they do not release the same scent when they transform."

I nod and am about to say something, but the professor suddenly says.

"Attention! The next fight will be between Ryan Hernandes! A foreign student from Indonesia! And his opponent will be Nito! A monkey Youkai from Hokkaido!"

All of us give cheer to both fighters.

"Both fighters! Are you two ready?!"

Ryan and Nito nod their head.

"Fight!"
