The Laziest System: Sign-Up System

Chapter 35



"Argh!"

My body lands on the ground, and I can see my sword being thrown far away from me.

"You know… I have been thinking."

I look at Lord Susanoo walking toward me. I sit down and say, "What is it, Lord Susanoo?"

"We have been training for two months now, right?"

Yeah, that's right. After the last party between the Youkai and the Gods, Susanoo decided to stay in the mortal world to train me. He's a great teacher, albeit a little bit too harsh. If not for my ability from the system, I would be dead by now.

For the past two months, I have been training and signing up. The training is going great, but the sign-up is not. Most of the time, I only get something useless... Well, it's not entirely useless; it still gives me wealth. But after knowing what kind of world I'm currently in, it's useless.

Most of the time, I get more Bitcoin, hard cash from another country, and sometimes something hard to get from this country, like a gun. However, all of them are mundane weapons that aren't really useful on this side of the world.

"Yes, that's correct."

"I'm wondering why you didn't use your other element rather than switching from one to another."

"Because my breathing technique can't combine the two of them."

"That's right. It's your breathing technique, not the other. Can't you combine your breathing technique and your Dragon Slayer magic? Fire and wind are a perfect combination to create massive damage, you know?"

That's true. Why didn't I think about these possibilities? I didn't combine all the abilities the system gave me.

"Not only your element, but you can also combine your other magic. You can merge your transformation magic with your Senjutsu and maybe absorb even more Natural Energy. Your transformation magic isn't just mimicking other creatures; it's about becoming them temporarily. That means you can absorb more Natural Energy while transforming and get even stronger."

That's... true. Take Over is just like the name suggests, taking over a creature's form momentarily. I don't just transform into them; I become them. Not only that, I can also use my requip magic to equip my Take Over magic with magical armor when I get some.

I always thought of them as solo powers instead of abilities that can be combined, even though I already combined Sky Dragon Slayer Magic and Senjutsu. Why didn't I think of combining the others as well?

I shake my head and look at my teacher and sparring opponent.

"Can I put it into practice, Lord Susanoo?"

"Of course! Come at me when you're ready!"

I nod and take a deep breath. I can feel the warmth of the sun flowing through me, but at the same time, I enter Dragon Force mode. Kyoto has the cleanest air in the entire Japan, and with how thick the mana is in the air, I can easily enter my Dragon Force mode.

It only takes me a minute to 'eat' the air and enter Dragon Force mode. I let the wind flow into my sword and combine it with my Sun Breathing; the fire starts to circle around the sword like a chainsaw.

I increase the movement of the fire and wind to create what looks like a sword beam instead of a chainsaw sword. The movement is so fast that it looks like it doesn't move.

I look at Susanoo and say, "Lord Susanoo, let's start sparring."

He grins at my declaration and replies, "Let's do this!"

==||==

I blink for a few seconds before saying.

"You want me to join the competition? You know that I'm a first-year student, right?"

The turtle Youkai smiles at me and says,

"But you are among the strongest people in this place. Not only that, there is no rule that forbids it, you know?"

"I am also a foreigner. I'm not a native people of Japan."

"So what? There is nothing wrong with it, and not only that, there is no rule to forbid it. As long as you do not have a criminal record in this country and you follow the tournament rules, you can participate in this tournament."

I look at him for a few seconds and sigh.

"I don't mind. When will this tournament happen?"

"It will happen in a month. It will be broadcast through the internet."

"The internet, huh? Are you sure? The mundane people will notice, you know?"

"Don't worry. Did you know that the Internet is being made by a couple of magicians? They make sure it can be used by the mundane people and the people on the other side of the world."

"That is… the first time I heard it. How can I use this?"

"You need to buy a special card to access the Moonlight Internet. I will buy you one later. Anyway, back to this tournament. In a month, the tournament will happen here in Kyoto."

"Really? Where?"

"Here. As in this place. We will use the training arena as the tournament arena. Because of this, we cannot use the arena for the rest of the month."

"Then where can we train?"

He smiles and says.

"Your daily training will happen in the Teacher's Training Facilities. We will let you guys use the teacher training facility. You guys will continue studying and training in that place. We have already moved all the tools and training dummy to that place, and as a participant, you can use a private training facility that I already prepared."

"Really?"

"Yup. Not only that, you will also get a personal trainer you can choose from among our instructors."

"Even a personal instructor. You are going all out, huh?"

"Of course! I want us to win this tournament, after all."

"Fair enough. Is there anything else? I need to get to class. I still need to attend my mundane class, after all."

"Nope. You are free to go. I will write your registration and add you as a participant in this tournament."

I nod and leave the chancellor's room. As I get out, I can see Karin and Yuki already waiting for me outside the room.

"Ryan! How is it? What does the chancellor want to talk with you about?"

I look at Karin, smile a little, and say.

"Nothing much, Karin. He wants me to compete in the Annual College Tournament next month."

"Really?!"

Yuki appears in front of me and looks at me with a happy and excited expression. I nod my head and say.

"Yup. I will join the tournament as a participant. Why?"

Karin chuckles a little and says.

"Yuki over here is a fan of the tournament. Her grandfather is the two-time champion of the tournament and the one raising her family status among the Youkai population."

"Oh! I didn't know that."

"Yup~ Her dream is to join the tournament and win it. She has been working hard to achieve her dream."

I look at Yuki, nodding her head in determination. I give her a head pat and say.

"I know you will be able to do that. Keep practicing the senjutsu I teach you, and you will grow strong enough to join the tournament."

"I will!"

"That's good. Anyway, come on. Our class is about to start."
