Multiverse: You Said Chuunibyou, But You're Playing for Real?

As expected, Haru's reputation as a scumbag was confirmed.

Yukino Yukinoshita, Fumino Furuhashi, and Rizu Ogata.

These three honor students had extraordinary fame at Sobu High and received attention from the entire school.

The fact that Haru was supposedly cheating on these three beautiful girls resulted in imaginable hatred and jealousy.

Not to mention that among those he was supposedly cheating on were two other extremely cute beautiful girls, though not as famous as the first three.

From the second day onward, wherever Haru walked in school, he could feel the red eyes of surrounding males.

His already poor reputation instantly fell to rock bottom, with everyone looking at him like they'd seen a plague god.

Haru was naturally too lazy to care about such nonsense.

He focused wholeheartedly on practicing his punches, then tutoring Fumino Furuhashi and Rizu Ogata, trying to upgrade his system as quickly as possible.

As Haru's punch count increased, he clearly felt the power contained in his flesh becoming increasingly formidable.

At the same time, his skin membrane seemed to become significantly more solid, and his recovery power became stronger.

From the fifth day onward, when he used his fists to strike the wall, after forty punches, he wouldn't be injured at all.

"My strength growth has a flavor of body tempering from fantasy novels."

During his free time, Haru would also take time to familiarize himself with his power and think about the essence of his strength.

Haru was very clear that while his system was indeed a bug, he couldn't rely entirely on the system.

Only by fully understanding the system could he enhance himself more efficiently.

This process of improving his strength was, for him, a process where he could clearly understand how the system operated.

"The system's enhancement is gradual."

Haru concluded that the system wasn't making him reach the sky in one step, but rather letting his power grow step by step.

Growing in stages.

"Perhaps I can use this point to make my strength more systematic too."

Haru felt that he couldn't just mindlessly enhance himself, otherwise the power he gained would lack a solid foundation.

There might not be any problems visible now, but after he became powerful, issues would become apparent.

It would be best to wait for the system to upgrade and use a more systematic approach to enhance his strength in stages.

And Haru had a vague idea about systematic enhancement methods.

However, right now it was just an idea. In the end, he still had to get this mission's reward first.

With Haru focusing wholeheartedly on completing his task, time flashed by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the tenth day!

In the club room.

BOOM!

With one punch, the air actually produced a huge explosive sound, blowing the books and papers in the classroom flying everywhere.

"Strength of One Ox, finally obtained!"

Haru's eyes glowed as he felt unprecedentedly powerful.

A mere classroom wall—as long as he was willing, he could easily punch through it at any time.

The bet with Yukino Yukinoshita was now completely off Haru's mind.

He was just waiting for a few days later to give Yukino Yukinoshita a surprise.

"Strength of One Ox—in the martial arts system, even those so-called transformation masters might not possess such great power."

A smile appeared on Haru's face. He had to admit that having power in the flesh, this sense of reality, was more tangible and more intoxicating than extraordinary skills like heterochromia and photographic memory.

No wonder there was such a thing as martial arts fanatics.

"From now on, I truly possess a certain degree of self-protection power."

Haru's eyes flickered.

Strength of One Ox was power that surpassed human limits and could definitely be called extraordinary.

Of course, Strength of One Ox was nothing compared to modern technological weapons.

So after Haru felt briefly proud, he clearly realized that in terms of self-protection abilities, he still needed to continue improving.

The stronger the better. It would be best if he could become so strong that he could give Earth a middle part with one punch—only then could he feel slightly at ease.

Of course, becoming that powerful was still too distant. With Haru's current Level 2 system authority, it was far from enough.

Yes, Haru's system authority had already been upgraded to Level 2.

As early as last week, Haru had obtained the Best Tutoring talent, and now that Strength of One Ox was complete, he had met the upgrade requirements.

The authority upgrade first expanded the suggestion list capacity from a maximum of three suggestions to five suggestions.

Second, the upper limit of suggestion rewards was also improved.

From the information transmitted by the system, Haru already knew that Strength of One Ox was actually the upper limit for Level 1 authority physical enhancement.

At Level 1 authority, he could at most obtain rewards of the same level, and it was impossible to exceed this degree.

But at Level 2 authority, the upper limit had increased by more than a hundredfold.

In other words, if Haru wanted, he could receive rewards for obtaining the strength of a thousand oxen.

However, Haru wasn't foolish enough to do that.

Pure strength didn't need to be increased for now. He already had some ideas about enhancing his abilities, and it wasn't just about strengthening power—he wanted to enhance himself comprehensively.

Grumble—

Just then, his stomach suddenly made a thunderous sound.

"Strength improvement isn't just benefits for me."

Haru sighed and touched his stomach.

During these days of practicing punches, as his strength improved, his appetite had also dramatically increased.

Previously, one bowl of rice per meal was enough, but now five bowls of rice per meal was just the starting point. More than rice, his demand for meat was extremely high.

"As my physical strength increases, my food requirements will definitely grow more and more in the future. The savings that could originally support me until high school graduation are probably far from enough now."

Haru knew that with his current appetite, he had to find a way to make money, otherwise he would starve to death if this continued.

He'd deal with making money tomorrow. Tonight, he should fill his stomach first.

His stomach was famished, so Haru decided to go to the barbecue restaurant in the food street tonight for a big meal to reward himself for the successful system upgrade.

He closed the club room door, left the school directly, and headed straight for the subway entrance, planning to go to the food street just a few stops away.

Who knew, even though Haru was already quite late leaving school, it was still rush hour at the subway entrance.

Besides a considerable number of students, there were also many office workers getting off work.

Even with the Strength of One Ox, Haru barely managed to squeeze in and maintain his footing.

"So difficult."

Haru braced his arm against the subway wall and had just breathed a sigh of relief when he looked up to see a face full of terror looking at him.

Only then did he realize that in front of him was a petite girl.

And his action of bracing against the wall to maintain his stance looked somewhat like forcibly pinning this girl against the wall.

No wonder the girl looked terrified.

Haru felt a bit awkward, not expecting that he had unknowingly played the role of someone forcibly pinning a girl against the wall.

Just as he was about to apologize, he suddenly felt that the girl in front of him looked familiar.

Pink long hair, and under her bangs, a pair of beautiful blue pupils were faintly visible.

Her features were well-proportioned, her skin fair and delicate, and her face was quite cute.

However, regrettably, she wore an outdated pink tracksuit on her upper body, and combined with her somewhat weak aura, she gave off a rather pitiful feeling.

This familiar sense of déjà vu made Haru quickly think of her identity.

And at the same time—

[Ding, discovered a person qualified for suggestions: Hitori Goto]

The system notification also sounded simultaneously.
