My System Always Wants to Force Me to Confess
Chapter 195: Maxed Out Level 9

Chapter 195: Chapter 195: Maxed Out Level 9

She seemed to have figured it out. This smooth-talker was clearly looking for an excuse to tutor Tsukimi Sakurazawa, but why was he doing this out of the blue?

Could it be because of that woman, Hayakawa Kashi!

Black Hearted Lolita immediately stared at Shirakawa Sawahei with a not-so-pleasant expression, as if trying to decipher something from his face. Seeing the sobbing monster wasn’t responding, he could only say helplessly, "I’m just concerned about a friend’s studies, okay? Don’t make me sound like some kind of villain."

"So how exactly are you planning to show your concern?" Tsukimi Sakurazawa fluttered her eyelashes, leaning forward as if to deliberately test Shirakawa Sawahei’s resolve.

"Tutoring you?" Shirakawa Sawahei silently averted his gaze. "I guarantee your grades will improve, what do you say?"

"Eh~ Shirakawa, did you take the wrong medicine? Why suddenly think of tutoring me! My grades are obviously quite good, unless compared to you monsters..."

"Don’t you want to do even better?"

"Shirakawa, don’t tempt me! Right now, you kind of resemble a bad uncle offering candy."

"Cut the crap, do you want it or not?"

"Couldn’t you at least give me some space to be reserved!" The sobbing monster complained, "Although I don’t know what’s gotten into you, Shirakawa, if my grades improve, maybe my pocket money and free time will increase~"

"Then it’s settled, you and Ise Yu Yuzhijin can come over, and I’ll tutor you both."

"Together with Orikin!?"

"Haven’t you already known about this?" Shirakawa Sawahei thought her reaction was a bit odd and retorted, "Did you lose your memory?"

"If I have two students, the efficiency might decrease. Shirakawa, don’t you think you should focus on nurturing one sapling?"

"Why not water them together? I’m not so free as to tutor you both one by one."

"Sharing the resources! Shirakawa, you’re definitely a player!"

Feeling indignant, Tsukimi Sakurazawa continued, "So how do we calculate the fees? You can’t overcharge me, Shirakawa. I demand the same rate as Orikin!"

Upon hearing this, Shirakawa Sawahei paused for a second. He hadn’t really considered the tutoring fees till this point. Ise Yu had asked for lessons herself, and taking care of her took a lot of his effort, so charging her a little wasn’t a big deal. However, he himself had roped Tsukimi Sakurazawa into the competition. Even if it’s just until the finals, charging her might seem unreasonable.

If one goes free and the other pays? Then wouldn’t my little moneymaker Ise Yu feel unfair?

Perhaps... it’s better to separate these two.

Thinking of this, Shirakawa Sawahei retracted what he just said.

"Um... actually, I’ve got some free time these days, Tsukimi, why don’t you just follow me for separate tutoring."

"Eh? Shirakawa, are you up to something no good~"

"If you don’t want then together..."

"Yes, yes, yes! I didn’t say no! Tutoring is definitely most effective as 1v1!" The sobbing monster declared righteously, "Shirakawa, you better treat me well. If you don’t do a good job, I won’t pay."

"..."

Driving in front of me?

Heh, woman, the last one who dared to do that was Ise Yu Yuzhijin, but now she doesn’t even dare touch the steering wheel in front of me.

It’s time to let you experience what it’s like when practice homework doubles.

After settling this, Shirakawa Sawahei once again focused on his skill-grinding endeavors—his high school education skill had reached lv8, and he was just a step away from the max lv9. This would be his first max-level skill, and he had been anticipating the special effects for a long time. It can’t be pigeonholed easily.

After club activities were over, he had to practice piano with Hayakawa Kashi, and then tutor Ise Yu and Tsukimi separately...

If it’s this time tomorrow, he’d have a part-time job waiting for him at the Maid Cafe.

It felt like he had more and more going on now, packing his days full... no, exhausting.

Oh right, he still had to make sure Asano Nazuki went home obediently, another quite challenging task.

With a tired sigh, Shirakawa Sawahei suddenly noticed that Xiao Mo hadn’t shown up at all, and couldn’t help but ask, "Did Tachibana have any reason not to come?"

"Xiao Mo was taken shopping by Zi. She already asked for leave."

"Shopping? Have they been going out together often lately?"

"Not really, but Xiao Mo and Zi’s relationship has gotten much closer. I even heard Xiao Mo greet her actively before."

"That fast!"

Black Hearted Lolita was astonished. She had been in the Calligraphy Club for so long, and it was only not long ago that Tachibana Tomoku cautiously dared to speak to her—so why did things progress so quickly with Azusa Stonefield?

Not only do I get the double-standard treatment from this smooth-talker, but I’m also getting it from Tachibana Tomoku?

"It is fast, I don’t know how Zi achieved it..."

If Azusa Stonefield were to hear this, she would definitely shed carefree tears while claiming.

"How did I do it? Of course, by talking about that jerk Shirakawa Sawahei with Tachibana... I’m not sad at all, really... I’m very happy..."

Upon this information, Shirakawa Sawahei frowned, thinking that he hadn’t looked after her in some time and she’s already developed feelings under Yuri Hime’s influence.

Oh well, let’s just stick to the status quo. That guy might confess again at most, which won’t affect the overall situation.

With such thoughts, Shirakawa Sawahei spent another peaceful club activity period. Yet just as he was patiently grinding skills, as if inspired, a surprisingly miraculous feeling flashed through his mind at a certain moment.

[High School Education: lv9. Experience: max.]

[New Talent Activated: Jack of All Trades: Experience gained in new fields increases by 50%.]

[New Achievement Title Activated: Endless Learning: Efficiency in gaining skill experience through books, videos, etc., is no longer reduced as level increases.]

[Congratulations, you have maximized your skill level. In the future, experience points for any skills can be used to improve others’ skills at a 100:1 ratio, up to a cap of 1000; when using experience for someone you’re courting, the exchange ratio is 2:1, limits are unlocked by favorability ratings.]

[Note: Experience from one skill can only be used for skills of the same type.]

Seeing this introduction, Shirakawa Sawahei clenched his fists silently, thinking to himself, this experience wasn’t wasted!

It wasn’t for nothing that he kept grinding this annoying skill despite already having adequate learning abilities. Now, it finally yielded some returns!

New talent, strong. New achievement, incredibly useful.

Moreover, this Endless Learning title allows Shirakawa Sawahei to genuinely "talk the talk," meaning with enough time, he can compete with others solely through reading and observing, without practice!

Compared to these two tangible boosts, the other effect doesn’t seem very useful to Shirakawa Sawahei.

Does this system think I’ve leeched off Learning Lady enough and wants me to give something back in return, allowing them to leech off me instead?

However, this something about unlocking through favorability is also problematic. How am I supposed to know how much favorability unlocks how high a cap? Am I supposed to try everyone one by one?

They’ll drain me... Experience is... ahem... quite valuable...

However...

Now that I think about it, I just checked the lv8 stage of learning skills the other day, and it was clearly still a way off from lv9, so how did it suddenly break through today?

I didn’t fall off a cliff and gain an elder’s energy or anything, and I haven’t dual-cultivated with a girlfriend... um, I don’t even have a girlfriend.

Could it be the legendary system bug.

With intense curiosity, Shirakawa Sawahei chose to investigate, and when he saw the achievement that had just been completed, he fell silent for a while...

[Courtship Target: Tachibana Tomoku; Confession Completion Progress +20%; Achievement Completed: An Unremarkable Little Cutie; Reward: Current Skill Experience Increase by 20%]
