Arthur flew toward the academy alongside the girls as usual, the morning air brushing past them while the city slowly came to life beneath their feet. Even though flying had already become routine for him, there was still a sense of quiet satisfaction in how naturally everything now fit into his daily life.
Before heading to his own class, he made sure to accompany Ravel.
Since it was her first day, leaving her alone would have been careless.
When they arrived at her classroom, Arthur paused slightly in surprise.
Koneko was already there.
"…So it's the same as in the novel after all," he thought to himself, faintly amused.
Ravel greeted Koneko politely, while Koneko simply gave a small nod in return. Their interaction was brief, but not unfriendly—more like two individuals silently acknowledging each other's presence.
After making sure Ravel was settled, Arthur finally left.

Throughout the morning classes, Arthur focused on something far more productive than simply listening to lectures.
He activated [Comprehension].
The moment the ability kicked in, his perception of the world shifted slightly. His vision gained that faint bluish tint again, and the information written in his textbooks no longer appeared as mere words—they transformed into structured concepts, flowing into his mind with incredible clarity.
What would normally take weeks to understand—
He grasped within minutes.
Chemistry formulas, mathematical logic, historical timelines… everything was absorbed and organized effortlessly.
By the end of each class, his level of understanding had already surpassed that of an average university student.
"At this rate… I won't need to study ever again," he concluded calmly.
---
In the afternoon, he headed to the student council room once again.
He had originally planned to thank Sona for helping with Asia and Ravel's enrollment, but the moment he stepped inside, he already knew how things would go.
A chessboard was waiting.
Sona adjusted her glasses slightly as she looked at him.
"Sit."
Arthur didn't argue.
What followed was a one-sided match.
With [Comprehension] enhancing his analytical ability, every move Sona made was predicted almost instantly. To Arthur, the game felt slow, almost static, as if he was watching the entire outcome unfold several steps ahead at all times.
Within minutes—
"Checkmate."
Sona stared at the board in silence.
This time, unlike before, she didn't even try to hide her frustration.
"…You've improved again."
Arthur only smiled faintly.
After a brief exchange of words, he took his leave and headed to the ORC, spending the rest of the day casually with the others.
---
That night, once he was finally alone, Arthur sat on his bed and opened his inventory.
His gaze fell on a particular item.
The book.
Without hesitation, he summoned it.
A worn leather grimoire appeared in his hand, its surface aged and cracked as if it had endured countless years. Despite its appearance, it emitted a faint, almost imperceptible aura of authority.
Arthur opened it.
The moment he did—
A blinding light erupted from its pages, engulfing his entire body.
A surge of information flooded into him.
Ding!
[Congratulations, host! You have become the "Successor of Pagma"]
Arthur's eyes widened slightly as the notifications began to stack one after another.
[You have unlocked the Jobs column in the system]
[Jobs are positive modifiers for specific activities]
[You have obtained a "Random Job-Related Item Card"]
Then—
It didn't stop.
A torrent of knowledge crashed into his mind.
Forging techniques, material properties, weapon structures, energy infusion methods—everything related to blacksmithing was engraved into his very being as if he had practiced it for centuries.
[You have obtained "Legendary Blacksmith Crafting"]
[You have obtained "Legendary Blacksmith Discernment"]
[You have obtained "Legendary Blacksmith Appraisal"]
[You have obtained "Legendary Blacksmith Patience"]
[You have obtained "Legendary Blacksmith Disassembly"]
[You have obtained "Legendary Blacksmith Repair"]
[You have obtained "Legendary Blacksmith Breath"]
[You have obtained "Legendary Blacksmith Blessing"]
[You have obtained "Legendary Blacksmith Creation"]
Arthur's head spun from the overwhelming influx of abilities, but before he could fully process them—
Another wave hit.
[You have obtained "Title: One Who Became a Legend"]
[Congratulations, host! You have unlocked the titles column in the system]
[Titles are names that encompass multiple abilities]
His body felt heavier for a moment, as if something intangible had settled onto him—an invisible weight that carried both recognition and authority.
Then came the final set.
[You have obtained "Attribute: Composure"]
[You have obtained "Attribute: Indomitable"]
[You have obtained "Attribute: Dignity"]
[You have obtained "Attribute: Insight"]
[You have obtained "Attribute: Dexterity"]
Arthur exhaled slowly, closing the book as the light finally faded.
The room returned to normal.
But he hadn't.
He could feel it clearly.
His hands… his senses… even the way he perceived materials around him had completely changed. If before he could analyze things through logic, now he could feel them—their structure, their weaknesses, their potential.
"This is… more than just knowledge."
To test his new class, Arthur quietly went to the kitchen and picked up a knife from the counter. The house was calm at that hour, giving him the perfect environment to focus. He twirled the blade casually between his fingers before activating his blacksmithing skills, and in that instant, his perception completely changed.
Information flooded his mind effortlessly. He could tell exactly what material the knife was made of, its purity, the imperfections within it, and even the precise process required to melt it down and remake it into something far superior. It wasn't just knowledge—it felt like instinct, like muscle memory ingrained through years of experience.
From his perspective, it was as though he had spent a lifetime forging weapons. Every detail made sense, every possibility was clear, and a quiet but intense desire to create something with his own hands began to rise within him.
However, after a moment of thought, he restrained himself. Without proper tools or a workshop, acting now would be inefficient, so he chose to wait, even if the anticipation lingered.
---
The next day, his routine remained mostly the same, though his awareness had sharpened in subtle ways.
At Sona's request, he accompanied her once again, expecting their usual chess match. However, things quickly took an unexpected turn when both Sona and Tsubaki began asking him questions—complex ones involving budget management, organizational planning, and even mathematical problems that required precise logic.
Arthur didn't fully understand what they were trying to do, but he didn't question it either. Activating [Comprehension] alongside [Insight], he processed everything with ease. Problems unraveled themselves almost instantly, and his answers came naturally, as if the solutions had always been there waiting.
He helped them with everything without hesitation. After all, maintaining a good relationship with Sona was important, especially since he would soon need to request a leave of absence for at least a month.
---
The days passed quickly, blending into a steady rhythm. Arthur spent his time studying magic, visiting Sona, training with Kiba and Koneko, and most importantly, being with the girls.
At night, those moments became even more precious.
More often than not, he found himself surrounded by them in bed, their warmth pressed against him from all sides. Rias would cling to him from the front, her arms wrapped tightly around his chest, while Akeno would press herself against his back with a soft, teasing smile. Asia, shy but unwilling to be left out, would gently hold onto his arm, and Ravel, still getting used to everything, would quietly curl up close beside him.
Sometimes they shifted in their sleep, unconsciously pulling him closer, clinging to him like a koala seeking warmth. The soft brush of skin, the faint scent of their hair, and the quiet rhythm of their breathing created an atmosphere that made even someone like Arthur pause and appreciate the moment.
He didn't always sleep easily in those situations—but he never pushed them away.
In the middle of his routine, Arthur had to take a short break to travel to the Underworld for the engagement ceremony. There, in front of nobles and dignitaries, his upcoming wedding to Rias was officially announced, marking a significant step forward in their relationship.
At the end of the first week, he gathered everyone in the dining room for a family meeting. The atmosphere felt heavier than usual as he explained his decision to leave for a remote location to train, admitting that he didn't know exactly when he would return.
The reaction was immediate.
Akeno was the first to object, her tone light but clearly strained as she pointed out how dangerous it was to leave like that. Beneath her usual teasing demeanor, Arthur could see a faint fear—subtle, but unmistakable.
Ravel joined in, her concern more composed but equally serious. She argued that if something happened to him, they wouldn't even know where to begin looking, suggesting he at least choose a place that was somewhat familiar.
Asia worried quietly about his absence from school, her voice soft but filled with concern.
Rias remained silent for a long time before finally meeting his gaze.
"…Do you really have to go?"
Arthur didn't hesitate.
"It's a matter of life and death."
That answer was enough.
Rias closed her eyes briefly before letting out a soft sigh, then turned to the others and supported his decision, even though she didn't want to. She understood him well enough to know that this wasn't something trivial.
After a long discussion, they reached a compromise.
Arthur promised to spend time alone with each of them before leaving, to return as soon as possible, and most importantly, to come back no matter what.
From that moment on, they all slept together every night, unwilling to waste even a single second.
Some nights were calmer, filled with quiet warmth and soft breaths, while others carried a more playful tension—Rias stealing kisses when she thought he wasn't paying attention, Akeno whispering teasing words into his ear, and even Ravel occasionally blushing when she found herself pressed too close against him.
Arthur endured it all with a faint smile.
---
The following days passed quickly.
He took Rias shopping in the Underworld, indulging her excitement as she tried on outfits while occasionally pulling him closer just to steal a quick kiss when no one was looking.
He helped Akeno at the shrine where she used to live, where their quiet moments often turned unexpectedly intimate, her playful nature making it impossible for things to remain entirely serious.
He went hiking with Asia, where the peaceful atmosphere allowed her to relax, and though she remained shy, she occasionally held his hand longer than necessary, her fingers tightening whenever he tried to pull away.
With Ravel, he went on a proper date. They watched a movie together, sat close enough for their shoulders to brush, and later walked through stores where he bought her clothes. Their conversations shifted toward business, where Arthur's abilities allowed him to analyze financial data with surprising precision, leaving her both impressed and quietly proud.
Alongside all of this, he continued helping Sona, training with Kiba and Koneko, and preparing everything he would need for his journey.
Finally, a week passed.
Arthur was now flying over the vast Atlantic Ocean, the endless horizon stretching before him as the wind rushed past his body. The destination given by the system lay ahead—a deserted island located in one of the most mysterious regions of the world.
"Hey, system… you're sending me straight to the heart of the Bermuda Triangle, aren't you?"
[Yes. It is widely known to be the largest area of dimensional activity in any world.]
Arthur smirked slightly.
"So the legends from my world had some truth to them?"
[More than half of the cases were unrelated incidents or technical malfunctions.]
"That still leaves quite a few that were real…"
After some time, an island appeared in the distance, isolated and silent in the middle of the ocean. Arthur descended and landed smoothly, his feet touching the ground with a quiet thud.
The moment he did—
Ding!
[Rewards being distributed]
A faint tension filled the air.
[You have obtained "Dimensional Travel System"]
[System is integrating, please wait…]
Arthur felt something shift within him, as if a new layer of reality was being unlocked.
[You have obtained "Temporal Adjustment Authority"]
His eyes narrowed slightly at the implication of that ability.
Ding!
[System update complete]
The surroundings felt subtly different now, as if the world itself had acknowledged the change.
[Prepare for journey host]
Arthur stood alone on the island, the ocean stretching endlessly behind him.
And for the first time in a while—
He felt it clearly.
This wasn't just another step forward.
This was the beginning of something far greater.
