Chapter 57 - 55: The Long-Awaited Tutorial

"Hmmmmmmm." Sai is staring at Yukina all of a sudden.

"W-what is it, Sai?" Yukina asks Sai nervously.

"I see. That's how it is." (Sai)

"Are you up for something, Sai-kun?" (Anshin'in-san)

"It's not something big. It's something that we should have done at earlier chapters." (Sai)

"That one?" (Anshin'in-san)

"Yes, the tutorial." (Sai)

Day 95 of the Examinations

7:15 AM

Pocket Mansion – Lecture Hall

Yesterday, Sai notified all of the girls that they will have a lecture today. Of course, he also distributed the brand-new uniforms he made. Sai based the design from the military attire of Nazi. He is quite proud of this masterpiece while saying 'Doitsu no kagaku wa sekai ichi' after he finished making them.

His flawed reasoning: "You are all my employees, right? What comes next is the uniforms, right? Don't worry, I will wear a uniform as well. Of course, I will wear the one that is designed for a general, to differentiate the ranks."

The girls accepted this reasoning since Sai 'rarely' asks for something.

Gilgamesh arrived on the Lecture Hall. She picked her seat and saw Da Vinci with a dissatisfied expression her face. On Da Vinci's left side, there is Nagato, who is silently reading a book. Gilgamesh asked her out of curiosity.

"What's wrong, artist? It's early morning but you have that kind of expression. Did something happen?" (Gilgamesh)

"Oh, King of Heroes. I'm just disappointed at the uniforms." (Da Vinci)

"The former. I have no complaints if the theme is Nazi's Military. It's that Master should have asked for my help when making the design and the uniforms. All I have done is setting up systems and equipment, and I begin to crave to do some art." (Da Vinci)

Gilgamesh is about to say something when the door of the Lecture Hall opened.

"These uniforms…I feel like I've seen them before." (Arisa)

"Me too. It feels like the answer is on the tip of my tongue but I cannot say it." (Ran)

"These uniforms are based on the military uniforms that Germany used during the World War 2." (Lisa)

"Sai-san has a soft spot for Germany, after all." (Chisato)

"This is a good thing. If we are going to start as an organization, having a uniform will make the sense of unity more solid among the members." (Sayo)

"I don't know why, but these uniforms are boopin' for some reason!" (Hina)

"Garments from the abyss, that..." (Ako)

"…inspires awe and fear! One that befits my majestic self!" (Ako)

"What a lively morning." (Saaya)

"Let's go and take our seats." (Yukina)

The Bandori Group taken their seats.

Soon, everyone is in the Lecture Hall. 5 minutes has passed and Sai arrived with two girls. One is a child with blonde hair and blue eyes that hold a stuff toy on her arms. Her clothing is a black one that is decorated with ribbons. The second one is a woman on Japanese clothing and carries four katana.

"Ahem. Before we start, I would like you to meet these two. Introduce yourselves." (Sai)

"I am Abigail Williams. Please call me Abby. Let's get along." (Abby)

"Sai-kun~! I can call the FBI and CIA for you." (Anshin'in-san)

"No, thanks." (Sai)

"Take your seats." (Sai)

Sai props his glasses, then he speaks.

"This is going to be a one-sided tutorial, where the only one who can speak is me. I'm going to start the tutorial, well, with the Skill Categories." (Sai)

"As you know, there are eight Skill Categories. General, Rare, Specialization, Anomalous, Anatomical, Unique, Forbidden, and Ephemeral. The Skill Categories is merely the way of determining the difficulty of obtaining the skill. Of course, the last three categories are exempted from this." (Sai)

"General skills can be acquired without any special requirement."

"Rare skills can be obtained by luck."

"Specialization skill needs effort to be obtained."

"Anomalous skills can be obtained through effort or luck."

"Anatomical skills can only be obtained genetically."

(Doubt.) Everyone thought this, except for Abigail and Musashi.

"Unique Skills. Only one of this skill exist in the world." (Sai)

"Remember, if I say world, it doesn't mean that this applies to parallel worlds. For example, there are two worlds and there is a Unique Skill called No Longer Human. One No Longer Human exists in World A and one No Longer Human exists in World B." (Sai)

"Forbidden Skills. These are skills that defied logic and physics. It's useless to trying to understand the logic in these skills, since there is no logic in them." (Sai)

"Ephemeral Skills. With regards to this Skill Category, I cannot say anything, not because I intend to keep it a secret, but because I don't know much about it. But I can only say this about them." (Sai)

"Ephemeral skills are ones that shouldn't exist in the first place. They are not a possibility that can manifest itself in reality. But they broke that impossibility to exist." (Sai)

"They are a reality that is a dream and a dream that is reality. Ephemeral Skills is the epitome of contradiction." (Sai)

"I'm sure that you are confused since I can get these skills casually. For that, here's my answer. It's because of my existence that I can get these skills easily." (Sai)

"I am an impossibility that exists." (Sai)

"Next is about gods. We will only discuss about the God System in Erdmitte, since the God Cores that the Bandori Group came from there."

"There are two kinds of Gods in Erdmitte. A Primordial God and a Belief God." (Sai)

"A Primordial Gods were only seen during the Eternal War Era. The era was like that because of a certain item that instantly incited the d.e.s.i.r.es of those gods. One day, all living beings, including gods perished and the world is destroyed and rebuilt once again. After the rebuilding of the world, the living beings appeared once again, but the Primordial Gods didn't." (Sai)

"Skipping out the nonsense, just like from Earth, people created gods and people became gods. That is the Belief Gods." (Sai)

"Now, what's the difference between the two? It's simple. The Belief Gods are just a downgrade of Primordial Gods." (Sai)

"Primordial Gods are born before the concept they represent, while the Belief Gods are born from the belief of their believers." (Sai)

"For example, the Primordial God of Wind is born before the concept of wind is born. And a Belief God of Wind will only appear once the people worship one." (Sai)

"What do I mean when I said 'people created gods and people became gods'? That's because there are two types of Belief Gods. A Mythological Belief God and a Conceptual Belief God." (Sai)

"A Mythological Belief God is a person that ascended to godhood through the fanatical or zealous faith that his or her believers that is directed to them. This is similar to Nagao Kagetora who was worshipped as the avatar to Bishamonten. If this happened in Erdmitte, Nagao Kagetora will become a Mythological Belief God." (Sai)

"A Conceptual Belief God is a god born from the worshipper's faith. Even if the person or god didn't actually exist, as long as there is enough faith, a god will appear. Well, that is more difficult than making a Mythological Belief God appear." (Sai)

"Once a Mythological Belief God loses faith, he will just lose the powers he/she obtained as a Belief God. But things are different for a Conceptual Belief God. Once they lose faith, they will disappear." (Sai)

"The next one is about Skill Rank Up Scrolls." (Sai)

"To prevent any misunderstanding, Skill Rank Up Scrolls can only raise your skill to the limit of your aptitude." (Sai)

"For example, Mob A has a Shooting skill and his aptitude limit for Shooting is only up to C+. If he uses a Skill Rank Up Scroll, he can only raise it to C+. This is the case for General Skills up to Anatomical Skills. That's why you cannot rely on Skill Rank Up Scrolls." (Sai)

(Doubt.) Everyone thought this, except for Abigail and Musashi.

"Me? I'm an Irregularity myself, so you cannot measure me with common sense." (Sai)

"I guess that's all I need to say. The tutorial is over, have a good day everyone. Oh, everybody looks good on their uniforms. As for Abby and Musashi, I will make your uniforms and hand it over to you guys later." (Sai)

"Before I forgot, you can wear your casual attire since the tutorial is over. The uniforms are only mandatory on special occasions or official matters. Don't worry, I will always notify you when you need to wear the uniform. Well then, good day to you all." Sai reminded them and left the Lecture Hall.

When Sai is already is outside someone is already waiting for him. It was Scáthach.

"Your lecture is below average." (Scáthach)

"Well, a good student will always learn something, no matter how poor the reference material and the lecture." (Sai)

"You started this lecture because of the young girls?" (Scáthach)

"Who knows. I'm just worried that Ajimu-san will nag me because of the lateness of the plot." (Sai)

"Are you trying to confuse me with strange terms? You noticed it, right? Those girls have the capabilities, but they are still lacking in awareness and resolve." (Scáthach)

"We can just take our time with that. It's not like we are in hurry. I have gained back my complete self. Even if the girls' status as Primordial Goddesses were to be exposed, I can handle all threats all by myself." (Sai)

Scáthach can only sigh.

"Really, trying to shoulder the burden all by yourself. And I'm dissatisfied that your attention is focused on those girls. Come with me." Scáthach used her hands to lock Sai's joints in his left arm and dragged him.

"Eh?" Sai is surprised to this development.

"Didn't you say it yourself? One cannot rely on Skill Rank Up Scrolls. You're going to train. And you will need to make up for the time that I didn't train you. I'll make sure that I will be serious in this training session." Scáthach said these words to Sai with a gentle smile and an excited tone.

(Don't tell me she is upset because I'm not seeing her for a while? Uh-oh.) (Sai)

Question and Answer with Anshin'in-san

"Hello, readers. This will be the first Question and Answer with Anshin'in-san episode. Just as the title says, it will be a question and answer corner with me and Author-kun." (Anshin'in-san)

"Greetings." Author-kun bows to the imaginary audience.

"Let's go to the questions. Author-kun why did you released the Tutorial Chapter this late?" (Anshin'in-san)

"It is because I didn't complete the settings back then. Besides, I designed Sai-kun to be someone that is more familiar in the System and stuff than his daughter, Alviria who is fused with the System as its Operator and have more interactions with the System. So, I decided that Sai-kun didn't need any tutorial." (Author-kun)

"Next question. How did you come up with the unnecessarily complicated god system?" (Anshin'in-san)

"I need the Bandori Group to have powers. Something that is overpowered but has room for development. As for the Belief Gods, they are just the afterthought. I got the idea of Mythological Belief Gods, from the anime Cautious Hero. In the anime, if I recalled correctly, the Sword God if formerly human, and I got the idea from that. As for the Conceptual Belief Gods, I got the idea from Noragami, where gods need believers to exist." (Author-kun)

"Do you plan to add more heroines?" (Anshin'in-san)

"Of course, why not? I already gave Sai-kun many types of mind manipulation skills, so I will have Sai-kun use them many times." (Author-kun)

"Will Sai-kun have the long-awaited R.-.1.8 chapter?" (Anshin'in-san)

"I already have the plan for the next four arcs. And I have yet to decide if I would add an R.-.1.8 chapter. I have no confidence that I can write it properly. There's also a problem with that."

"Problem?"

"I add to Sai-kun's setting that one of the things he fears the most is marriage. Well, marriage is second place and BL at the first place. I feel like making Sai-kun do s.e.x.u.a.l things will not align to his character. Even if there is a chance of R.-.1.8 chapter, I will only write it if Sai-kun is married or engaged. I will never make an R.-.1.8 chapter if a character is still on high school." (Author-kun)

"Then, it is a relief for me. Last question. What direction will this fanfic will take?" (Anshin'in-san)

"Direction, huh. At the very least, it will not be one that is like from Shounen Jump. Since most of the stuff there were not as it was for me. It was all screams, tears, violence, and power of nakama. It will be slightly dark and more edgy. I don't guarantee that it will not be cringy. That is also the reason why I added a Dead Count Shapeshifter, that allowed him to turn into Sigurd and Edmond Dantès. I want him more edge scenes with Count." (Author-kun)

"And that will be the end of the first Question and Answer with Anshin'in-san. Do you want to say anything else, Author-kun?" (Anshin'in-san)

"I would like to thank the readers, who took time and gave this fanfic a chance. Thank you very much. If it's possible, feel free to put paragraph comments and chapter comments." (Author-kun)

"Well then, this will be the end of Chapter 55. See you in Chapter 56!" Anshin'in-san farewells as she makes a double peace sign with her hands.
