If someone asked Daniel what he lacked greatly in this life of his, then his answer was...
—Come here, my little Loryarc~...
... Love.
A warm and safe feeling thing.
Something he couldn't have in his previous life.
—What's wrong? Hm, you wet yourself... Fufu, it's okay. Marie would wash the bed later. Let's sleep with Mom instead tonight.
But now.
He... Have it.
The love.
Inside his head.
Something he borrowed from his predecessor.
Tomorrow was the start.
He would attend the Academy, become stronger, and win first place at the Graduation Exhibition Festival that would take place in the last days of the next year's summer.
Loryarc was a third-grade student.
He would graduate after this teaching year ended
Only 7 months left before the Graduation Exhibition Festival, where the Third-grade students of the Academy would show their skills in magic and martial arts under tournament-like rules, fight their peers to win a higher place.
Because he should win first place in the Martial Arts class, Loryarc mainly attends if he wants to get permission to return to his hometown from Glamoria.
He gets some skills from his System, yes.
But his status is trash, at least for now.
Could he win first place at the Graduation Exhibition Festival in such a short time?
He doesn't know, but he should give it a try.
Because... He had good memories of that place.
"Let's see if there are some useful items here in the Kiss Shop..."

And so, his long, long night has begun.
***
At the Royal Academy of Lizarck Kingdom recently, there was a very interesting rumour about a certain young man.
"Hey, have you heard it?"
"... Again? Just let me eat my meal in peace, man."
"It is said that that 'guy' is cured!"
"Who's cured?"
"That 'guy'! The one that engaged with Lady Glamoria!"
"Heee... W-what did you just say!? He cured!?"
It is said that that 'guy' was cured.
Everyone is talking about the same topic.
After all, good or bad, he was a very popular man.
"The girls said that he was often swinging a sword at the Training ground behind the old Library... Why don't we see him?"
"... Well, after I finish my meal, yes."
Right after the two finished their lunch and headed toward the Training ground near the old Library of the Royal Academy, they could hear the shouts and cries of the excited girls.
Good looking is a cheat!
Silently, they cursed that man for having such a beautiful face, they pierced the crowded girls.
Then, they see his figure.
A slightly long-haired man, looking very neat and noble in the Academy student's uniform, was a man with black hair.
His figure was quite tall, approximately 185 cm.
His bluish, sharp eyes were like a gem attached to a divine ring, combined with his white, smooth skin.
He was Loryarc Lapizburn.
The stunned and stopped moving after they spotted his figure.
The girls took that chance and kicked the two to the ground, since they blocked their vision from looking at their 'prince', who finally returned.
If you are confused, Loryarc used to be very kind and gentle with girls, even commoner girls, so he had gained some popularity among girls.
His fans decreased after he engaged with Glamoria, since Glamoria suppressed them with her domineering presence, but he still had more than 50 fan members.
"W-we should report it to Lord Galird!"
"M-MY BURGER! Y-you chicks, h-how could you be so mean to the innocent one...!"
Fangirls were so overpowered.
They could easily expel these 'bugs' with sole enthusiasm.
Marie, who stood at the side of the Training Ground beneath the shadow of a tree, glanced at the girl crowd with a perplexed face.
"They're so obsessed with only two days..."
Loryarc stopped his swing, wiped his sweat with the towel Marie gave him, and grinned.
"Should I give these ladies a kiss?"
"You would be killed by Lady Glamoria."
"Y-You're right..."
It is the second day after Loryarc started attending the Academy again after the day he awakened in this world.
He was not a very educated person in his previous life. Or rather, he's not even ever gone to school.
But with the memories of his predecessor, he could somehow follow the courses.
He still had a hard time, however. His predecessor was not a very smart guy, after all.
But strangely enough, he could ingest the contents quite at ease for someone who shouldn't have been a smart person and someone who had never been educated in any way.
Maybe because of these skills?
Loryarc looked at the two skills that might be unexpectedly very helpful when he listened to the professor's explanation.
[Intensified Focus.]
[Grade: E.]
[Description: When stimulated strongly, your focus would be multiplied. You could feel your partner's most feeling good body parts.]
[Pleasure behind Hardships.]
[Grade: D.]
[Description: Pain and stress were just daily stuff for you, so why not enjoy them instead? Multiply your productivity and contentment while under pressure.]
The description was very sus, but the effect was so good that Loryarc didn't mind visiting the Marble Rose House again next week.
He could also feel his movement while swinging his sword flowing slightly more smoothly than how his predecessor used to do.
Thank you, System!
Loryarc is very satisfied with the skills he has and the system's ability.
The process was slow, but he began to become stronger and stronger.
What remained was to continue to train and kiss.
"Move out of my way!"
"Kya!"
While Loryarc was admiring his own skill collection, which he got from the ladies of the Marble Rose House, there was a commotion within the crowd of girls watching him.
Then, pushing the girls to stand confronting Loryarc at the Training Ground were three young men.
The man who seemingly was their leader is grinning after seeing Loryarc.
"Oh indeed, the rumour was true! So you've cured, Loryarc!"
Marie's face turned dark after seeing the man.
"Mister Gonhavton..."
Gonhavton. Galird Gonhavton.
He was the son of the current Duke Gonhavton, the uncle of the King of Lizarck Kingdom.
And Galird was.
The one who often beats Loryarc.
The bully, yes.
