2. Big Shot?

[Malicious act successful. Opportunist talent activated, white reward obtained. Reward will be issued after the simulation ends. Please check it then.]

Gion?

Isn't that the real name of future Navy Admiral Candidate, Vice Admiral Momousagi?!

And he's already managed to offend a big shot of that level?!

Good thing this is just a simulation; otherwise, he would have no choice but to sail off as a pirate!

Right?

[Age 8: Your father personally escorts you to the Navy Elementary Academy. Most students here are children of mid-level Navy officers. Your father's rank is only average in comparison. At this time, you realize that your new deskmate is the same girl, Gion, who you bullied earlier. She looks at you with a complex expression.]

[You respond by saying:

[A. "I was wrong before, and I apologize. Let's get along well from now on. I'm sorry!"]

[B. "Why is it you? How unlucky!"]

[C. "Didn't expect you to be so developed for your age. Hehehe, let me touch again!"]

Seeing these options, Marsh felt his vision go dark.

With his original personality, he'd definitely choose option A to apologize properly. Gion will become an Admiral Candidate someday, which means she's probably big-hearted enough to forgive him.

If all goes well, he might even gain a valuable ally!

But knowing how this system operates, if he picks the first option, who knows what will happen!

But there's no way he could choose the last option!

Fine! It's just a simulation anyway, so might as well go full villain!

"Didn't expect you to be so developed for your age. Hehehe, let me touch again!"

[Upon hearing this, Gion's face darkens. Unable to tolerate such humiliation, she punches you in the face. Blood spurts from your nose as you go flying. The teacher happens to see this scene, and after sending you to the infirmary, issues a penalty to Gion. Because of this incident, your classmates begin to isolate her.]

Sigh... feels a bit heartless!

[Age 9: You form a clique with other children of Navy officers, and the rest of the academy students avoid you and your group.]

[Age 10: Although isolated and occasionally bullied by you, Gion chooses to endure and trains diligently. However, she becomes increasingly withdrawn.]

[Age 11: During lunchtime, your father instructs the servants not to prepare a meal for you as punishment for sleeping in. Hungry at the academy, you spot Gion with a delicious-looking bento box and approach her.]

[A. "Wow, that bento looks amazing. Can you share a little with me?"]

[B. "Can't you see that I'm starving? Get lost with your food!"]

[C. "This bento is mine now. Feed me, or I'll tell the teacher you hit me again!"]

Already such a scumbag at age eleven?!

But he made his choice anyway.

"This bento is mine now. Feed me, or I'll tell the teacher you hit me again!"

[A flicker of anger appears in Gion's eyes. But remembering the teacher's warning about expulsion, she reluctantly agrees under the condition they go somewhere private. Your response?]

[A. "Then let's go to the woods behind the academy; no one's there at this time."]

[B. "Can't you see I'm too hungry to walk?! Feed me right here, in front of everyone!"]

Whoa! Forget Gion; even Marsh couldn't handle being fed in front of everyone!

"Then let's go to the woods behind the academy; no one's there at this time."

[You and Gion go to the woods behind the academy. Perhaps due to your hunger, you don't ask her to feed you. While eating the bento she prepared, you chat idly with her, and a new thought starts to form in your mind.]

[Age 12: Since that lunchtime, Gion brings two bento boxes to the academy every day. At noon, she waits in the woods to eat with you. Your relationship takes on a peculiar dynamic.]

This development is getting strange!

Wouldn't Vice Admiral Momousagi have a stronger personality?

Or… could Gion be poisoning the food to slowly kill him?

This is One Piece, not Detective Conan!

[Age 13: By now, Gion excels in both theory and practice, mastering the Soru and Geppo techniques. Impressed by her talent, observing Navy officers predict she'll become an outstanding Navy officer one day. With her graceful looks, she's increasingly popular among the academy's boys, causing other girls to isolate her even more.]

[Age 14: After school, you see Gion surrounded by a group of girls near the back gate, who seem to be pushing her around. Your choices?]

[A. Join in.]

[B. Ignore it.]

[C. Kick the lead girl and warn them that only you are allowed to bully Gion.]
