Maki's Class Desiderium file was being displayed to the teachers who had access to the document Nezu had sent.
Some of them were openly curious about this oddball student.
Some hadn't even been properly informed about him yet.
And someā¦ harbored less than noble intentions toward him.
One of them was Nemu's father.
Several teachers questioned the reasoning behind placing him in what was essentially an S-Class tier. They had heard from Nezu that a man shouldn't be placed directly into Class Sāperhaps that was why Nezu had created a different class for him. But even so, he was still receiving S-Class priority.
Wasn't that dangerous?
Speculation began forming quietly in their minds.
Yet those who actually knew his personality thought the opposite. Especially Mai and Nemuri. They weren't worried about his status.
They were worried about his magnetic ability.
But Maki, of course, wasn't aware of any of this.
He was still sitting alone on the cold floor of the parking lot.
Still silent.
To pass the time, he checked the one thing in this world he didn't owe to Nemuriā
The system inside his mind.
He closed his eyes and summoned it.
The iconic red panel appeared before him. His name was displayed along with his information. His reward list hovered neatly at the side.
His points had reached 11,975.
Almost twelve thousand.
After receiving the clone technique, he hadn't drawn much anymore. like before, he'd been saving his pointsāwhether for satisfaction or caution, even he wasn't sure.
Then his gaze landed on the Golden Box in the center of the panel.
There was a small question mark at the corner.
That hadn't been there before.
He tapped it.
A small panel appeared.

A major update will now occur.
Due to the constant farming, gaining, and stockpiling of points, the system's programmed storage capacity is nearing its limit. You have exceeded the expected accumulation point rate.
Overcapacity may cause slow or lagging experiences.
The system requires space clearance for improved accessibility and performance.
[ Warning ]
The system will now implement a maximum stockpile points limit.
Maximum Capacity: 10,000 Points
Any points exceeding the limit will be confiscated by the developer ( Ā“_ć`) and used as compensation. These will be donated to others.

Maki read the notice carefully.
It seemed saving points wasn't such a good idea after all.
But the "donation" part caught his attention.
Thatā¦ wasn't entirely negative.
Still, he couldn't help but wonder.
Was it really a legitimate donation? Or would someone simply pocket it? He'd seen enough in life to know how things sometimes ended. They'd say it was for children. For the needy. For something noble.
And in the end, it would disappear into someone's personal account.
Sometimes, human nature was the cruelest thing to ever exist.
Even a shark that devoured a human didn't know it was eating one. To the shark, it was just food. Survival. Instinct.
But people?
People could take money meant for others and sleep peacefully at night.
Stillā¦ who was he to judge? Maybe they had their own reasons. Or maybe they were simply that kind of person.
He reread the update.
From 1 point per draw to 1,000 points.
The price had skyrocketed.
And he needed to spend 5,000 points just to upgrade it.
He didn't think long.
He pressed the button.

"Big Three Lucky Box is now updatingā¦"
The golden box transformed into a black orb. At its center, a percentage bar began climbing.
00.01%
00.02%
00.03%ā¦
It would take time.
The 5,000 points were automatically deducted.
He watched it closely and whispered to himself,
"Did I really exceed the capacityā¦?"
He doubted it.
If the points came from the main plot of this world, then why create event he could participate in and earn reward from? Wasn't that essentially inviting him to join? Did he have some role he was supposed to act out?
He shook his head.
"Not really my problem."
Whatever comes, comes.
His attention returned to the orb.
00.03% to
1.02%ā¦
Maki didn't know much about what was happening behind the scenes.
And even if someone told him, he would probably hear itā¦ and forget it later.
But unlike Maki, who wasn't concerned about anythingā
There were others.
The ones with main character syndrome.
The ones who believed the world had been crafted, tailored, and designed specifically for them.
But reallyā
Who were they?
