As Shizuka Marikawa approached, her two 'rule-breaking' assets began to sway seductively.
"Violation!!! Someone is violating the rules here! She is violating the rules!!!" Tsubasa thought frantically.
But the focused Shizuka didn't notice his internal turmoil at all, simply holding the thermometer and continuing to approach Tsubasa.
The distance between them decreased until Tsubasa could catch the light scent of her perfume and see the soft pink color slightly visible through her white blouse.
And she was also wearing this white medical coat...
"Wow!!! Who could stand that?!" he mentally exclaimed.
"Come on, open your mouth, aaaah," Shizuka said softly, as if coaxing a child. Her eyes, like clear water, smiled, radiating a ripe sweetness.
Tsubasa, looking at that graceful face so close and that stunning figure, swallowed hard.
Honestly!
He really wanted to say that he was fine and there was no need to measure his temperature.
But the words died on his lips, and he swallowed them back.
Um!!!
He obediently opened his mouth and allowed his temperature to be measured.
"Such temptation right before my eyes! Unbearable! Simply unbearable!" he thought, his mind racing.
Besides, knowing this absent-minded woman, even if he tried to explain, she would decide that he was lying and would still insist on taking his temperature.
And that would only mean a waste of time.
"Tsubasa-kun, remember, you have to hold it for five minutes," Shizuka said, patting his head like a small child. "I'll go get some medicine for you, and then I'll come back to check your temperature."
With a satisfied smile, she turned and headed towards the medicine cabinet.
Tsubasa exhaled deeply.
Honestly!
When he watched this anime, he knew that the charm of the absent-minded Shizuka Marikawa was great. After all, a mature older sister with such a stunning figure - her appeal was understandable.
But only now, in close contact, feeling the aroma hovering around her, seeing the stunning curves of her body, feeling the light touch of golden hair on his skin and noticing the soft pink color shining through her white blouse...
Only now did he truly realize how stunning this mature woman's charm was.
"System, check the gift set for the newbie!"
Looking away, he glanced at the open system panel and mentally spoke a command.
[Ding, Newbie Gift Set Rewards: [Free Stat Points] +10, [Kuyou Knife (Ultimate)] x1, [Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu Style Skill Book (Ultimate)] x1, [1000 Points]. Do you wish to use now?]
Four shining spheres appeared in front of Tsubasa.
"Wow!!! Are the starting bonuses really that generous?" he thought, surprised.
Free stat points were self-explanatory - they could be distributed to enhance various attributes. With enough of them, he could even become like Saitama-sensei.
Although, of course, this was just a dream.
Attribute points would likely be difficult to obtain.
If such a generous starting bonus only gave 10 points, how much could he expect in the future?
But [Kuyou Knife (Advanced Level)] and [Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu Style Skill Book (Ultimate Level)] really surprised Tsubasa.
Kuyo's knife turned out to be the same elite katana from the DNF game.
Although it was only a basic elite weapon in the game, the system rated it very highly - excellent hardness, flexibility and sharpness.
When people say that a knife cuts metal like paper, it's usually an exaggeration, but this Kuyo Knife could actually cut metal like paper and cut through hair.
And this was only the basic quality - if you invested points in it, its characteristics could be further enhanced.
Without a doubt, this was an excellent reward!
[Hiten Mitsurugi Ryuu Style Skill Book (Ultimate Level)] was from the anime "Rurouni Kenshin", one of the ancient swordsmanship techniques known for its "godly speed" when drawing the sword.
This book of perfect level skills allowed Tsubasa to master this martial art instantly!
"Amazing!!!" he thought, his excitement building.
Himura Kenshin was a character Tsubasa was familiar with, as his incredibly cool sword drawing technique had fascinated him when he watched the anime.
With [Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu], not only would his combat power increase greatly, but his chances of surviving the coming apocalypse would also increase.
And, of course, the most important thing was that now he would be able to be more confident around Saeko Busujima.
This senpai did have a tendency towards violence after all.
The last reward [1000 points] had a very simple explanation from the system.
All system functions require points to use.
Point distribution functions, the store, purchasing containers, resetting stats - all of this requires points.
Simply put, it was hard currency - "money".
The ways to get points included killing zombies, completing system tasks, opening treasure chests, point containers, and so on...
In general, there were many ways to obtain it.
Overall, a thousand points was a lot of money, quite generous. Many common items were inexpensive to upgrade initially, so a thousand points was more than enough.
Tsubasa sat on the edge of the bed with a thermometer in his mouth, glancing at Shizuka Marikawa nearby.
The absent-minded teacher now threw back her head, showing off her snow-white graceful neck and impressive curves, which looked especially charming in the sunlight. Her long fingers touched her moist lips as she muttered which medicine to choose.
"A real sorceress!" Tsubasa thought, a smile playing on his lips despite the thermometer.
After confirming that Shizuka wasn't paying attention to him, Tsubasa quickly looked away and began using the rewards.
First, he studied [Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu Style Skill Book (Advanced Level)].
Mm...
Tsubasa narrowed his eyes slightly, and after a few seconds he quietly exhaled. A lot of new information appeared in his consciousness, which was fully integrated into his cells.
It became his instinct!
The ancient swordsmanship art of Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu was now completely mastered by him to the perfect level.
Next - [Free Stat Points] +10.
After thinking for a while, he distributed them according to his attributes.
[Owner: Tsubasa Amagiri
Age: 19
Strength: 21 (a normal person has 10)
Stamina: 22 (a normal person has 10)
Speed: 18 (10 for a normal person)
Nervous reaction: 22 (10 for a normal person)
Items: none
Points: 0]
He chose the distribution: 3 to Strength, 3 to Stamina, 2 to Speed, and 2 to Nervous Reaction!
Initially, he had planned to invest everything into strength and endurance, because these two attributes were the foundation of combat power. Without strength or endurance, you could only wait for death in front of a wave of zombies.
Speed and nervous reaction weren't as crucial in the early stages of the apocalypse.
The main characters in the anime were normal people, and hadn't they survived and escaped from the school early on?
Moreover, his speed and nervous reaction were already higher than those of ordinary people, so adding points there wasn't strictly necessary. The reason he still decided to allocate points to those attributes was because of the [Hiten Mitsurugi Ryuu Style Skill Book (Advanced Level)] — this technique had certain requirements for speed and nervous reaction. The stronger these attributes, the more powerful the effect would be.
With the increase in stats, Tsubasa instantly felt changes in his body.
The feeling of enhanced strength, lightness, and heightened nervous response - he felt all of this extremely clearly.
There were still two rewards left!
Tsubasa glanced at them. He decided not to touch Kuyo's knife for now - Shizuka was still here, and how would he explain its sudden appearance? A trick?
But regarding the points, he was considering whether he should further improve his characteristics.
But at that moment...
[Ding! Reminder to owner: apocalypse is about to begin, countdown: 10 seconds...]
[Ding, reminder to owner: apocalypse is about to begin, countdown: 5 seconds...]
[Ding, reminder to owner: apocalypse is about to begin, countdown: 1 second...]
[Ding, the apocalypse has officially begun!]
[Owner, good luck! Try to survive in this world!]
