Thank you so much! I'm thrilled that you're enjoying the madness! (＠_＠;) To answer your question: this is 100% my original work (an original fanfic....). It’s not a translation from some Chinese or Korean site, just my own exhausted brain generating these crazy crossovers and plot twists at 3 AM. Looking forward to your review! Things like this literally keep my motivation (and my pulse) going!

You're absolutely right, the school year starts in April! However, September 1st marks the beginning of the second semester after the summer break in Japan. That's the exact day when all the summer homework is due the same homework Takemichi completely ignored while running around dungeons. Hence his panic about Hina!

No, dragging out debts for too long is boring. In chapter 21, he will close them quickly, I won't say more.

Hi Rim2408! Thanks for the review and for giving the story a try. I completely understand your frustration, but it seems you might have missed a few crucial details in the text that explain the MC's behavior: 1.He is surviving, not simping: In Chapter 2, the MC explicitly states he is homeless, broke, and hunted by the Association because of the viral video. Marin is the ONLY person offering him an untraceable safe house and food. He goes with her out of pure pragmatism, not because he's a 'good guy'. 2.The System's Mind Alteration: Look closely at the System prompt at the end of Chapter 2: [Template Influence: You like her determination. You feel that this situation is... amusing.] The MC actually wants to be angry, but Satoru Gojo's arrogant personality is merging with his mind. Gojo finds the humiliation and her fanatical devotion funny. The MC is losing his original reactions to the Template. 3.Marin's Loyalty: By Chapter 5 (where you dropped), Marin literally sells her most prized possessions and empties her savings to buy D-rank materials on the black market to craft him life-saving armor. It's a pity that you decided to drop the story, but I guess it just shows that I still have a lot of room to grow and improve as an author (´-ω-`). Thank you so much for your honest review-feedback like yours really helps me flesh out the world and make the story better! m(_ _)m

That is a brilliant observation! It definitely looks bad from a PR standpoint, but there are four very specific reasons why Gojo forces Takemichi to carry the physical bag: Inventory Limitations (The System is stingy): Gojo's System is not a god-tier infinite storage (yet). At his current level, his Inventory likely has limited slots. Storing hundreds of low-tier trash cores would clutter it up instantly. He saves his magical storage for truly important items (like VIP potions, Epic gear, or hiding Marin's torn jacket so she doesn't kill him). Concealing his 'Cheat': Spatial/Dimensional storage magic is incredibly rare in this Hunter world. If the Association and reporters saw him magically absorbing mountains of monster parts into thin air, it would instantly expose that he has a 'System' or an unknown spatial cheat. A physical bag is a classic, old-school Hunter method that doesn't raise magical red flags. MAIN REASON-Gojo is a massive Troll: Let's be honest, he has the personality of Satoru Gojo. He treats Takemichi as his personal NPC companion/squire. Making the "crybaby hero" carry his heavy bags is exactly the kind of mild, arrogant hazing Gojo enjoys. It’s character building! He absolutely does NOT care about his public image: Gojo isn't trying to look like a good guy to the Association. He actively wants to disrespect them. Walking out of a B-Rank dungeon without a single scratch, while a traumatized schoolboy drags a sack of loot bigger than himself, is the ultimate arrogant flex. It's his way of saying: 'I am so far above you that my bag-boy survived a dungeon your elites would die in.'"

Great question! It might seem like a plot hole at first glance, but there are three main reasons why he didn't just buy a cure earlier: He didn't know he was broken (The System trolled him): After the Budokan incident, Gojo bought a cheap basic potion. It removed his pain, so he genuinely believed he was fully healed and just suffering from "mana exhaustion" (an empty tank after using too much power). He thought his mana was just slowly regenerating. The System intentionally hid the fact that his pathways were still leaking like a sieve. When the System blocked his magic in the dungeons, it just said "Mana too low," which perfectly matched Gojo's wrong assumption. He only realized how screwed his pathways were when he forcibly bypassed the System's block to use Infinity against the snipers in Chapter 15. He was broke (Financial constraints): Even if he knew he needed a fix, true healing items for a soul/body mismatch of S-Rank (like the VIP Elixir he eventually bought) cost 2,000+ coins. Before clearing the second and third dungeons, he simply didn't have that kind of money. He was grinding specifically to afford good items later. Gojo's Hubris: He is Satoru Gojo. He realized he could easily punch C-rank monsters to death using just his physical stats (Strength/Agility points). Since he was having fun beating up cyber-zombies with his bare hands, he didn't feel any immediate pressure to spend his hard-earned coins to get his magic back until the army cornered them and he had to protect Takemichi.

I was just a little delayed in my studies, and I'm about to release a new chapter. There will be 2 more chapters tomorrow.
