Chapter 22: 1 years

The class leader in the event, as they say, simply stayed guarding the flag for seven days. He cannot leave the designated territory, which is a five-kilometer radius around him where the leader can hold the flag. He can hide and all that, as long as he doesn't cross the five kilometers, he can do whatever he wants. But he also needs people to constantly protect him, as he cannot attack or defend himself, making him an easy target for other classes invading his territory, playing their cards on the table. My goal in this event was to prevent the Seraphim's seal from being broken. I don't have much interest in winning or losing rank, but I also don't want to be the only one demoted. The problem with being the only student demoted is that you get bullied by the other students—it's childish, but that's just how it is...

The holy bitch's objective is clear. I want to spend more time with Leslie. In the past, she used to follow the saint like a puppy all the time. I guess she misses that... but you're seriously wounding my pride, besides not being able to leave Leslie in your hands. There's also the big problem that the obsessive freak next to you might lose control, which not even you can handle... Something similar happened in the story with the protagonist. At that time, Leslie was just as obsessed with the protagonist and had fights with the saint. But over time, she fell into the protagonist's clutches. He found out that the saint was a masochist and used that to his advantage... It would be very easy to just go down and start touching the saint shamelessly, but... besides the furious glares from all the men, I also felt a subtle gaze from the teacher on me...

She's interested. In fact, she knows the way I got into this class. As the supervisor, she had her eye on all the applicants... curiously, she didn't say anything about it... actually, it's better that way. But in the eyes of all the students, it's very odd that a very weak student, below average, is in the top class... Looking at Evelyn, she stared at me in silence...

If looks could kill, I would have died hundreds of times under everyone's stares... smiling to myself... unfortunately for you, spiteful bitch, I'm not an idiot like Elias: "If you screw me, I'll screw you twice as hard!"

Nodding calmly at the words, I stand up, looking directly into the arrogant eyes of the bitch, the so-called saint, and respond with a small smile: "While it's true that I'm the weakest in this class, I wouldn't mind bearing the great responsibility of being the leader and the tremendous burden of having each of your statuses on my shoulders. As you know, the leader can't attack or defend themselves, so..."

"System," I speak mentally.

[Yes?]

"Can the [Seduction] skill be modified?"

[Skills]

[Seduction]

[Description: The Seduction skill makes people feel a great attraction towards you. The more interest you gain from that person, the easier it will be to control their mental state (Only works if the target is in a lustful state).]

The problem with the [Seduction] skill is that it only works on people who are horny... and I don't think at all that the students staring at me with bloodshot eyes are turned on... The Seduction skill can be used in many ways... it can also be used to convince, manipulate, and change the way people think, like a politician giving a speech full of lies that the citizens need to hear... I also don't want the skills it currently has to disappear entirely... both are very useful. Besides, the skill only works if they are interested in me, and the only people right now who are interested are Leslie and Emilia... and I think Evelyn too.

[It can be modified!] [But you must pay the price!]

Looking at the strange words in the notification, I frowned a little: "What price?"

[Skill Modifier!]

[Seduction Skill]

[Price: 100,000 years of life]

[Warning!] [It is recommended to the host that instead of modifying the innate sin of lust, they purchase a skill according to the host's thoughts.]

"100,000 years!!!" Staring wide-eyed at the price to pay, my eyes nearly popped out of their sockets...

[The host's maximum lifespan is 100 years!]

"I don't even have the years needed to pay the price...!" Looking with a gloomy expression... the idea of modifying the skill came to mind because this was the same skill the protagonist had... but he didn't need anything or pay the price for it... for me... right now, I'm very glad I killed him!! Screw you, damn David!! You literally had the world in your hands...

[Ding!] [Requirements met!]

[Skill Shop!] [Available skills 1]

[Persuasion]

[Description: Capable of convincing and manipulating people through a set of actions focused on influencing an individual through arguments, evidence, and emotional tactics.]

[Price: 72 years of life!]

"72 years of life..." It's an astronomical amount of time... but, it's worth it. Right now, my top priority is to keep Leslie as close as possible... damn it, besides, I'm doing this for the lives of all of you damn bastards... well, actually I'm doing it for myself... my life is much more important... but yeah, I'm crazy enough to spend 72 years of my life.

"System... Is there any way to extend my vitality?" This question really piques my curiosity. Demon princes are almost immortal...

[The only way for the host to gain more vitality is to evolve!]

"I see, as long as there are opportunities in the future, luckily I'll live more than 100 years..." Thinking for a few moments... it's not a bad idea to have more skills. Besides, the [Persuasion] skill is very useful...

"Buy the [Persuasion] skill."

[Congratulations!!] [For making your first purchase in the system!]

[All skills increase by 0.75 points!]

[Congratulations!! You have unlocked the statistic...]

[Vitality: 1 years]

The moment I bought the skill, I felt like an invisible hand ripped a large piece of my soul... my complexion became extremely pale... trying to act as normal as possible... "As a condition, I want Leslie to protect me."
