There are no unclaimed rewards.]
Hah so I was right, I need the Shinsu level at Low Ranker level to get the reward. This is straight up bs because if I reinforce my body with Shinsu, I could clap most Mid Rankers from 10 families but whatever I don't need more power right now so it's fine. I should already be among the top powerhouses of this world by the virtue of my parameters, at least at Sin Archbishop level. Though I won't get defeated by anyone.
Also now that I notice it, I feel more lean somehow. As if my muscles have become compact and very dense to increase their strength. I am cool with it, I always liked lean characters over muscled ones in appearance. Also, 'A.I. Chip scan my body and tell me my height in cm.'
*183 cm*
'That's just perfect height for me, not too tall not too short.'
Seriously I didn't want to reach 190s in height, I like my Jojo references but my height shouldn't be one of them.
Time to take out my spear and maybe I will practice basic techniques of spear. I take out the spear.
[Do you want to bind Gae Bolg with your soul?]
'A.I. Chip what does Binding this weapon to my soul entail, will Scathach be able to control me through this?'
*Host doesn't need to worry this Gae Bolg was created by Scathach's Noble Phantasm Gae Bolg Alternative but she has removed any enchantments on it from before so it's a blank slate of a spear. Binding this with your soul will connect your vitality to the spear, it will grow alongside with your strength. Also you can will your spear back no matter where it is. And no, can attack your soul through the spear or sever your connection with it.*
'Alright Bind the spear with my soul.'
I then feel a connection with the spear. While Subaru is admiring my spear with stars in his eyes. And then looks confused, "I feel like I have seen this spear design somewhere," he mumbles.
Anyway this is getting nowhere so I ask, "What are you going to do now?"
"Well I was thinking to go to Old Man Rom's Stolen Goods Warehouse and get Satella's insignia back before the murder happens." He answers me.
"Hold on we shouldn't do that, also don't call her that her name isn't Satella. It should be an alias though one with a very bad taste, almost like a certain hairless and noseless wizard." I then go on to tell him about the events of first 3 episodes of Re Zero anime except the name of Emilia, and tell him that if he wants her name he should ask the girl herself. I wouldn't want him to not live up to his alias now would I?
"So what do you think we should do now, then?" I ask him.
"You told me about this Reinhardt guy right? We should find him ask him to relay our message to Sat- silver haired half elf, he seems to know her from what you told me. We should tell him to ask her to meet us near the warehouse and we will return her stolen things there. Of course if we could find her before finding the guy, we can go with her together to the warehouse. Also we have like 5 hours till sun sets so we have time to prepare." His answer is acceptable, it could be optimized even further but I don't care enough.
So we set out in finding the Sword Saint, and walk about in the marketplace. People steer clear of us because of our spear I assume. And then I spot a certain redhead knight in the distance with a knight uniform so I call him out while running towards him. "Sir Knight! Would you be so kind as to give us a moment of your time? My friend here has a request to make."
He around then at me, my attire and my spear then he smiles. "Friends from the foreign country by your appearance I would assume that you are from Sacred Empire of Vollachia down south? Anyway I am not on duty today so I could hear you and your friend here out." He said while looking towards Subaru.
"Ah yes I am from the Vollachian Empire, I am on a journey throughout the world to master my spearmenship as instructed by my master. I am just a small apprentice. Ah where are my manners, my name is Amar and this guy here is Subaru that I found today here in Lugunica. So I kind of decided to help a fellow countryman out." I say as I gesture towards Subaru.
"My name is Reinhardt and it's a pleasure to meet you. You are loved by nature aren't you?" He said while looking towards me.
"My master said the same thing. Though I don't know what that means." I lied as easily as I breathed. "Anyway Subaru go ahead and make your request then we'll go."
I move back to allow them to talk. They both talk to each other for a bit and Reinhardt agrees to Subaru's request.
"Friends, I hope we meet again." I hope we don't but hey I guess we will at that warehouse but whatever.
Then we head in the direction of the slums. I am silent the whole way and Subaru seems awkward. But hey I was never a talkative person you know, it's not my fault that my brain doesn't like talking and is not wired to make me a social butterfly. What? You thought that just because I got a system and got powerful that I would suddenly become a social person? Well you thought wrong. You might be thinking that why was a person like me doing a course in medicine? Well that's because I am interested in that field, also in treating patients the doctors follow certain guidelines and those actually make it easier for me in helping patients even if I am socially awkward or inept. Well enough about that it seems Subaru just walked into a person and they collided.
I looked towards them and look who I found, its none other than Elsa but Subaru doesn't know that. Damn she's hot. Subaru and Elsa apologize to each other and we go on our way. Is it fate that we ran into Elsa or was she already aware of us? Roswaal shouldn't have told her about Subaru at least. Well whatever we head to the warehouse, and when we reach there I walk towards the backyard and tell Subaru that I am going to practice my spear techniques and ask him to deal with negotiations. He agrees since he got the idea that I am not that good at social things probably, I assume he agreed because of that I am no mind reader after all.
After getting to the backyard, I remember the basic techniques of spear namely thrust, cut and strike. These remind me of a certain Korean novel with a shitty mc with great character development, but his harem was kinda meh. I mean the way it was formed was infuriating.
Anyway enough about that, to reach the level of masters. I have to become one with the spear. But I don't know anything about that considering I am a total noob even if I have the required knowledge. So let's start the practice shall we?
1 minute later....

[Spearmanship has reached level 10]
It has been an hour since I first started, and I feel like I am getting better at this whole thing as my level increases. As I am doing this, I see a little blond haired girl entering the warehouse, who I assume is Felt. Well I will leave this to Subaru, before Elsa comes there is no real threat to be honest.
.

[Spearmanship has reached level 13]
This is fun. This reminds me of Skyrim when I spammed spells to level up my conjuration to master level. And then I see a silver haired girl entering the house who I assume to be Emilia. This is going very similarly to canon 4th loop but hey that's good. Let's spa- I mean practice more spearmanship until Elsa comes.
[Spearmanship has reached level 14]
I then hear a blast from inside the house, I guess I was too focused on spa- cough I mean training that I didn't notice Elsa. And well she is an assassin. I then run towards the warehouse and arrive inside in 1 second. What? Have you seen my agility Stat? I could go even faster than this but it would destroy the surroundings.
Anyway as soon as I enter, some ice is hurled my way. And I dodge it. "That's not very nice young lady. Attacking someone out of nowhere like that."
"But aren't you with her?!" She says while pointing towards Elsa. I guess that's a reasonable assumption. But still I will take some compensation for this nevertheless.
"No no I am with that guy named Subaru, who saw your insignia getting stolen and decided to come to this place to get it back to you. I don't know why though since you don't seem to know each other." I say this while pointing towards Subaru who has a broken club in his hand. You can thank me later Subaru, I wink towards him. And his expression turns weird, well whatever.
I see around the room, the giant is injured. Felt seems a bit roughed up. Elsa is without her cloak and her daggers out. Damn she's hot. And that dress is really unrealistic but hey that's what anime is all about. Anyway I guess its time to spa- I mean kick Elsa's ass.
"You who is loved by nature. I wonder how your bowels will look like." Elsa says to me. (A/N: This sentence might be weird to some hard-core re zero fans or maybe not. But if there's some mistake it's because I haven't touched the anime for like more than a year so yeah)
"Only one way to find out." I ready my spear Cu Cullain style when he uses his Noble Phantasm, of course my spear is not glowing or anything.
And then she lunges in what I can only see as quite slow speed compared to me. I then start partying her moves with my spear and sometimes strike her with me shaft.
[Spearmanship has reached level 15]
[Spearmanship has reached level 16]
[Spearmanship has reached level 17]
[Spearmanship has reached level 18]
[Spearmanship has reached level 19]
[Spearmanship has reached level 20]
We fight like that for a minute and I leveled up like 6 times, I felt that I entered trance during that. But I guess I level up more easily during combat. Elsa seems quite injured with broken bones and a hole in the left shoulder. I guess its time to end this.
And then punch her just enough to make her roll into the street but not kill her. After that she stands up a little shakily and runs away.
Subaru comes upto me and thanks me. He then ask me,"Why did you let her run away? You could have easily finished her off right?" Everyone else also seems to be looking at me. I see a certain redhead heading towards here from the distance.
"Well I have never killed anyone before, and well I want to become a knight in the future to maintain justice. So I kind of want to use my power to protect people rather than harm them with it." I say to them. Subaru seems a little doubtful but accepts it because it is partially true. I mean I have never killed people. Others accept my words.
But that is not the main reason that I let Elsa go. As if I would do such a thing. The real reason I let her go, is because I planted a flesh bud in her during that last punch to make her my slave through mind control. I have currently given her only 2 instructions for her, that she is absolutely obedient to me and to not die unless I give her permission. Anyway this was just a whim in case I have to come back to this and also to keep an eye on this world and Subaru.
So yeah that's that, the redhead knight is here explaining that he came here in case Emilia or we needed help. Emilia asks Subaru and me what we might want as compensation. Subaru like in canon asks for her name. She laughs and tells her name and Subaru smiles and faints, it seems injured as well. I just ask to give me a place to stay for a few days and clothes. She invites me to her house along with Subaru while healing. Anyway after that, the events follow canon, with Reinhardt taking Felt and returning the insignia to Emilia. Reinhardt also invites me to his house and I answer to him that I will come if I have time. After that I follow Emilia as she takes us to Roswaal's mansion while carrying Subaru on the back.
Let's see how the adventures in Roswaal's mansion go. Well I am not staying for more than 2 days though. Well I look forward to meeting Roswaal that crazy bastard and Ram the savage oni sister.
____________________________________________________________________
There might be some (or many idk) grammatical mistakes in this chapter but at least I delivered a chapter and that's an achievement in my book. Anyway after the poll from last chapter. I decided that I will just tell you who the love interest is, because it's not like the story is all about romance anyway. Also Amar is a yandere MC so yeah. Freya is the main love interest, it's something fresh imo and I will do it well. If you want Scathach to be waifu well you will have to make this a harem. Of course if I make it a harem, I will include one more girl to it. She's my favorite character in Tower of God so yeah I am going to do it, if I turn this into a harem. Of course there won't be more than those 3 and I don't care about other waifus like Grayfia and such. So tell me guys do you want
Monogamous relationship with Freya
Or a harem with Freya, Scathach and a ToG waifu?
Remember Freya is always going to be his main focus of love, harem or not. Everything will be explained in due time. Hints have been given but there is no context. The context will be given near end of volume 1 but the romance will not start for a while.
