"Now you are a man," said Takeshi as he drove, and Levi was sitting next to him.
"Although studying is important, you must also train your body to attract girls," he added with a smile.
Takeshi owned a gym. So, he placed great importance on exercise and good nutrition. Levi grimaced when he heard that disappeared after a second. In his previous life, he never had time to exercise, and even less now he has to bring the best sleeves from his past life.
If it wasn't for his mother, his gym-crazy father would have started his training when he was only 8 years old.
"Okay, Father. I will start training," said Levi with a smile, 'I must behave myself... and thus get more money,' thought Levi, keeping his innocent smile.
Levi started saving money about two years ago when he started asking his parents to give him money instead of another reward. In total, in these two years, he managed to save 175,681 yen which is equivalent to about 1,200 USD.
He did not start earlier as it would be strange for a child of 7 or a little more to ask his parents for money instead of the typical things children buy.
1 volume of the Barakamon manga was 2,500 USD so he still had half and a little more to go.
One thing he discovered about the store is that when he has money in his hands he has the option to enter it into the store as a kind of virtual money. Making his money disappear, and the balance is reflected in the store in USD.
This saved Levi a lot of trouble as he didn't need a piggy bank since he was 12 years old and couldn't have a bank account.
He still hadn't decided on which manga to bring into this world first, as he had a lot of options for the price of 2,500 USD or even there were some with lower prices, but he didn't recognize how successful they were in his past life.
In the case of Barakamon was a good option, as it had good sales and even had its anime, but he was still not sure and was still shuffling options.
Also, this time he went back to drawing and getting used to his new hands which, although he was reborn was a different feeling, even so, he managed to recover his previous level at only 12 years old and keep polishing his skills.
"That's good to hear hahaha, after you get out of school come straight to the gym," said Takeshi, laughing.
"Today?" asked Levi, not expecting his training to start on the same day as school.
"Yes. Can't you?" asked Takeshi with a slight smile, thinking that maybe his son had some plan with some girl.
"No. I'll start today Father," said Levi with a smile, returning to his role of perfect son.
"Ok, see you at the gym son," said Takeshi with a big smile as he parked near the school.
"Yeah... bye father," Levi said goodbye as he got out of the car.
Levi upon arriving at the big door of his new school stood looking at the large building where he would stay for 3 years, 'How annoying, there are only brats,' Levi thought as he noticed all the students.
In his previous body, he became 15 years old, and if we add the 12 years he lived in this world, he had a mental age of 27. So he found it annoying to have to hang out with 12-year-old brats.
Although they were 27 years a little strange, since the only job he had was drawing from home with his computer, while he went to school. In other words, he never had a job or went to college.
He also missed a lot of school. He was a full-fledged antisocial who spent his time at home drawing, watching anime, and reading manga. Since his parents were barely at home and their son was earning money online, they didn't mind him missing school, since he was self-sufficient. Amazing parents.
He also found it annoying to have to go back to school all through elementary, middle, and high school, but with his young age, it was impossible to get a job. So he had to follow the route of the perfect son so that his parents would give him money.
Even so, in these 12 years, he became attached to his family, as they always treated him with love and affection. And he wasn't just doing it all for money, but also to make his new parents happy and proud.
Levi stood in the doorway looking at Shuchi'in Academy the more he looked at it the more he felt it was a familiar place, 'Where does that sound familiar from?' thought Levi, trying to remember.
The Shuchi'in Academy building is modern and elegant. It is a multi-story building with a well-kept facade and architectural details. The windows are large and regular, showing a spacious and modern infrastructure. The academy conveys a sense of prestige and seriousness in its outward appearance. It is also gigantic.
"Move it. You're in the middle of the road."
Levi heard a voice that had a cold and somewhat annoying tone coming from behind him, so he turned around, and when he turned around he noticed a girl about his age.
When he saw this girl's face his expression changed to one of surprise.
"What!?" exclaimed Levi in surprise. This was the fourth time he had been so surprised since he came into this world.
The girl by Levi's reaction and noticing that his gaze was fixed on her, took a step back.
The sudden scream startled her a little and caused her previously stoic and cold expression to change to one of caution.
The girl was about 145 cm tall, had very fair skin, and long black hair, and wore it loose. What stood out the most was her red eyes which, thanks to her skin and hair color, stood out a lot.
'Isn't this Kaguya from the manga Kaguya-sama?' thought Levi as he took a closer look at Kaguya. It all made sense now, this was the academy that Kaguya and the other manga members attended. That's why the academy was familiar to him, since that manga he read in his past life.
He remembered that the world where Oshi no Ko was was the same world where the events of Kaguya-sama's manga happened, although the timeline wasn't like that, 'Is it a different universe?' thought Levi, confused as he kept watching Kaguya, who had a cautious expression.
Kaguya and President Shirogane were supposed to be older than Aqua and Ruby, but now Kaguya was here in front of him wearing the 1st year uniform which confirmed that he was the same age as him. And he was the same age as Aqua and Ruby.
"Why are you looking at me so much? Are you a stalker?" asked Kaguya as her gaze became colder than before.
"N-not that," Levi said, snapping back to reality and settling his thoughts. Before Kaguya could say anything, he turned around and started walking towards the Academy.
Levi remembered that at this age Kaguya did not wear her characteristic red headband, and her personality was much colder compared to the beginning of the manga.
Kaguya was surprised to see Levi leaving. She thought that this boy knew her identity as a daughter who belonged to the Shinomiya Zaibatsu family, one of the largest agglomerates in Japan.
Adding to this her dazzling beauty she thought this boy would start a conversation to flirt with her, "Kaguya-sama what's wrong? Why are you standing still?" asked a blonde girl as she arrived behind Kaguya.
If Levi saw this blonde girl he would easily recognize her. It was Ai Hayasaka the maid that always accompanies Kaguya.
"It's nothing," Kaguya said in a curt tone as she started walking again.
At first, she was surprised by Levi's unexpected reaction, but she quickly returned to her usual cold and distant self.
Hayasaka thought nothing of it and followed Kaguya, "Have you heard? They say that the 1st year person who will give a speech at the entrance ceremony is a scholarship boy. Isn't it amazing?" asked Hayasaka with a mischievous smile.
Kaguya upon hearing this frowned. She was the first one to know about this. She, the great daughter of the Shinomiya family was supposed to give a speech as a representative of the first-year students.
At entrance ceremonies, they usually welcome new students, and always let the best 1st year students give a speech to motivate their new classmates in the new school year.
Kaguya in addition to her beauty and her amazing background, had always gotten the best grades, but this time someone won her over. And this student didn't beat her by a little, as she heard that Shuchi'in Academy itself came to give her a scholarship to study here. Moreover, he had won many academic competitions from mathematics and science to art and literature.
"I know," replied Kaguya in a somewhat annoyed tone. She was looking forward to seeing what this genius student who beat all the students of Shuchi'in Academy and even all of Japan was like.
"Yeah, yeah I also want to see the genius who defeated the amazing Kaguya of the Shinomiya family!" said Hayasaka, trying to annoy Kaguya.
Kaguya said nothing and kept walking. She knew Hayasaka's character. So, she didn't let his nonsense bother her.
They finally arrived at the building where the entrance ceremony was to be held. The building was still not full, and students were still arriving.
After 10 minutes the building was full and the teachers closed the doors. An old man slowly walked up to the stage.
This old man's name was Adolfo Pescarolo, and he was the headmaster of Shuchi'in Academy. He is an old man with slightly long hair with a parting that reaches almost to his shoulders. He has a goatee-style beard along with a mustache. His attire is a vest and ties underneath and formal black pants.
"Cof, cof..." coughed Adolfo to silence everyone. The freshmen were the loudest, as they were excited to start this new stage in their lives.
"Good morning dear students and teachers. It is my honor to welcome you all to this entrance ceremony for the new school year. On this special day, we are gathered to take a step forward in our educational journey, where we will share knowledge, experiences, and invaluable friendships," began the principal's speech.
"To our first-year students, I warmly welcome you to our beloved school..." the principal continued with his long and emotional speech. Being an elite school all the students listened with serious expressions, showing a very high class unlike normal schools many students would have sleepy faces.
"As you move forward in your education, I urge you to keep an open and curious mind. That's all from me. Now, I want to give the floor to one of our new students to share a few words with all of us. A student who has proven his exceptionality by obtaining one of the best scholarships and first place in the entrance exam and many other academic competitions," said the director with a slight emotion in his tone.
Kaguya, Hayasaka, and many more figures of this renowned school started to listen more attentively than before. They were already aware of the rumor that a student with a scholarship had won first place, so they were all eager to see who this person was.
"Please welcome Ishida Levi!" exclaimed the principal.
