Even with chuunibyou, let's learn together!

Looking at the girl next to her, Ayame, she had already started pinching her philtrum.

……

In short, the game has finally begun.

The scene that comes into view is a mountain with a palace inside. Hayakawa, dressed in an Onmyoji robe, sits on a futon, quietly waiting for the arrival of the destined person.

The text below also suddenly changed.

"The world has changed drastically, and the lineage of Onmyoji has declined, leading to the rampant spread of ghouls. As the last Onmyoji of the Tokyo lineage, you must take on disciples as soon as possible to revitalize the tradition."

Wasn't it supposed to be about killing ghouls? How come it's turned into taking on apprentices now?

Hayakawa was a little confused: But taking on apprentices is fine, I know. I take on apprentices in real life, and the characters are actually more like me.

Oh, suddenly this seems interesting. It doesn't look so bad after all.

Hayakawa stroked his chin, waiting expectantly for his first apprentice to arrive.

He didn't have to wait long before his first apprentice arrived. He was a barefoot young farmer dressed in simple clothes. He knelt all the way up the mountain, crying and saying that his entire village had been eaten by ghouls. He begged the Onmyoji master Hayakawa to take him as an apprentice so that he could avenge his parents.

At this time, the young farmer gained a new attribute, which Hayakawa checked, and all the data was listed out.

Hayakawa skipped over the name, age, and background, ignoring everything else. He didn't care about origins and scrolled straight to the bottom, where he found the "aptitude" section.

Qualification: 2 (out of 10)

"Hissing. Dream Doctor II Bell III Er OIV Pa..."

Hayakawa scratched his head when he saw the number, thinking that Fumino Furuhashi and Ogata's talents in science and humanities were probably only at this level.

But it's okay, I can teach those two people well in real life, and I can do it in the game too.

Hayakawa accepted it without hesitation. Minami Aizami, standing beside him, hesitated, reaching out to try and dissuade him, but then put her hand down.

So Hayakawa started training him. The gameplay involved sending him out to do missions and occasionally adding attribute points. The content was very boring, with no CG animations. It was just a mechanical process of receiving missions, completing them, and adding attribute points.

The better the apprentice's aptitude, the less time it takes. Hayakawa's aptitude is only 2, so it naturally takes him a long time to complete various complicated tasks.

If it were just that, it would be fine; Hayakawa, with his heart set on the world, could tolerate it. But then a recharge option pops up every now and then, offering one-click upgrades for a certain amount of money.

【Characteristic 4 of bad games: Recharge items popping up for various reasons】

Hayakawa endured it all with immense willpower. Through his hard work and patient guidance, the disciple of the Onmyo Master Hayakawa was finally about to leave the mountain and prepare to hunt ghouls.

However, before Hayakawa could even breathe a sigh of relief, bad news followed: his apprentice failed in his first mission down the mountain. Not only did he fail to hunt, but he also became crippled and had to retire in the mountains.

"..."

I've worked so hard to teach you for so long, and you're such a useless piece of work. This is exactly the same story I had when I first started teaching Furuhashi and Ogata.

"Ugh…"

Hayakawa sighed helplessly. What else could he do? Even if his apprentice became a cripple, he could only keep him alive.

However, right after clicking the next step, Hayakawa's character died.

Hayakawa died because he was betrayed by his apprentice. In order to survive, the apprentice told the ghouls and his enemies the exact location of his sect and his own weaknesses.

"Hmmmm?"

Hayakawa was immediately confused when he saw his black screen. He quickly checked his apprentice's character data and discovered that there was a hidden piece of information.

Born with a rebellious streak: He will immediately betray his sect if he encounters danger.

【Characteristic 5 of a bad game: Unexplained difficulty, showing no consideration for the player's feelings】

"..."

What kind of apprentice did I end up with? He's even more terrifying than those two.

There's nothing we can do; the character is already dead, so we have to start the game over.

Hayakawa silently returned to the homepage, clicked "try again," and then...

"This is the Yin-Yang Mountain of Tokyo in another world, where a man-eating demon named ghoul hides among the rural people..."

[Characteristic 6 of bad games: The CG replays every time the character revives]

After enduring nearly ten minutes of trivia about ancient Tokyo, Hayakawa returned to the apprenticeship page, and unsurprisingly, the first apprentice was that same person again.

This is to be expected, since it's a low-budget, poorly made game with only a few characters, so it's impossible to design different supporting characters for you.

"Not only is his aptitude poor," Hayakawa muttered as he looked at the character information, "but he's also inherently rebellious."

Who would hire someone like that?!

"reject."

Hayakawa clicked "decline" without hesitation, but the next moment, his game page displayed a huge "failure".

Unable to recruit apprentices, the Tokyo Onmyoji lineage gradually declined, and the ghoul faction ultimately emerged victorious.

"..."

If you don't take on this apprentice, you'll never have another one, and you'll lose the game immediately?

So, I have to take this apprentice no matter what? This person only has a aptitude of 2, is likely to be crippled on their first mission down the mountain, and will betray the sect whenever danger arises?

"Click"

Hayakawa's mouse made a loud cracking sound, the sound of something breaking under immense pressure.

[Characteristic 7 of bad games: The game's plot is completely incomprehensible]

After sitting there motionless for a long time, Hayakawa silently clicked "Restart".

then…

"This is the Yin-Yang Mountain in Tokyo, another world..."

After an unknown amount of time, Hayakawa finally returned to the apprenticeship interface. Facing the apprentice who had tormented him twice, Hayakawa silently clicked to accept him.

However, by working harder on tasks and striving for a higher completion rate for each task, the apprentice earned more reward points and put more effort into allocating them. As a result, by the time the apprentice graduated, their stats had increased significantly.

With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Hayakawa saw him off down the mountain. This time, his apprentice did not disappoint him and successfully completed the zombie-hunting mission.

[Congratulations! Your first apprentice has successfully completed the graduation quest, and the Tokyo Onmyoji lineage has grown stronger.]

Now you can save your game.

"Hoo..." Gu-1, Qi Ba Ba Ming Qi Yi

When Hayakawa saw this interface, he breathed a huge sigh of relief as if he had been pulled out of the water, and an unprecedented sense of accomplishment welled up in his heart.

It's hard to imagine that he would feel a sense of accomplishment from playing a game, but his feelings told him it was true.

"Great! It's finally finished!"

When Aimi saw this scene on the computer, she cheered, her eyes even reddening. While wiping her eyes, she said emotionally, "Finally, I can skip that opening CG."

"yes…"

Upon hearing this, Hayakawa smiled with relief and then moved the mouse to the save button.

Half an hour had long passed, and it was time for my first gaming experience to come to an end.

Although it wasn't perfect, it at least brought a conclusion, and it was truly unforgettable.

=San Siqi San Shi Ling. Meng "Archived".

Hayakawa clicked silently with a smile on his face.

The screen remained completely still.

"Huh? What's going on?"

Hayakawa looked at the interface with a puzzled expression, then tapped it twice more: "Is it stuck?"

The game screen got stuck at the save point, and then went black after two seconds.

next moment…

"This is the Yin-Yang Mountain in Tokyo, another world..."

[Characteristic 8 of a bad game: It will inexplicably lag and disconnect]

"..."

The light from the computer screen illuminated Hayakawa's dark face, but his eyes reflected no light whatsoever, only pitch blackness like a black hole. The mouse in his hand, after emitting a piercing sound, finally gave out and fell silent.

As the force gradually increased, Hayakawa, expressionless, raised his fist towards the computer screen in front of him.

"No! Don't hurt the computer! I just fixed it. If you take your anger out on it, it'll break again!"

As Azumi cried out, she hugged him from the side, saying, "If you want to hit someone, hit me instead."

"...Wu]I chess piece pulled up the age weeping (six) seal..."

Hayakawa took a deep breath and lowered her hand. She stared coldly at the CG screen in front of her and finally clicked the exit button unwillingly.

There's very little that could make Hayakawa give up, but he certainly learned a lesson today.

Indeed, one should not underestimate the heroes of the world.

Hayakawa needs to find out which talented studio developed this game.

"I won't hit you."

Hayakawa composed himself, then shut down his computer and reached out to pat Mimi Aizawa's head.

The loli-like senior, who had previously reacted strongly to being touched on the head, allowed Hayakawa to touch her head this time. Instead of getting angry, she carefully asked, "Are you alright?"

She watched the entire game from the sidelines and knew everything Hayakawa went through. Naturally, she didn't dare to provoke him at this moment. If patting his head would make Hayakawa feel better, then she would pat him.

"I am fine."

Hayakawa lowered his hand and said something insincere.

Xiao Meilang Aicheng leaned against him, gently nuzzling his shoulder with her chin, and muttered softly, "You won't be playing games anymore, right?"

After what just happened, even if Mimi Aizami doesn't allow Hayakawa to play games again, she's really sorry.

Although it's a bit of a pity, knowing Hayakawa's temper and that she could tolerate playing this kind of game without breaking down means she will never commit domestic violence in her marriage.

Thinking about this, Xiaomei Lang Aicheng felt a little better.

However, Hayakawa's answer was unexpected.

"No, I'll play."

Hayakawa hesitated for a moment, then frowned and said firmly.

"Huh? Why?" Komi looked at Hayakawa's head in disbelief, wondering if he had been so angry that he had lost his mind.

Could it be that he's actually a masochist who enjoys being tortured?

Xiao Meilang looked at Hayakawa, her face silently turning red.

If the younger generation is willing, they could actually become the queen themselves.

"..."

Hayakawa did not answer directly, but closed her eyes and fell into deep thought.

After just half an hour, Hayakawa realized that his self-control was still far from sufficient.

For example, every time I teach Furuhashi and Ogata, although I try to suppress my anger, I can't help but lose my temper occasionally.

Chapter 393 Ogata Rizu's Manga

How can this be allowed? One cannot become a true emperor without having the world in one's heart.

Although this game is terrible, it can still help me.

So... from now on, before each tutoring session, let's play some games first, consider it a trial.

That's what Hayakawa was thinking, but when he actually said it, his words changed.

"If Furuhashi and Ogata don't study hard in the future and don't meet my expectations..."

Hayakawa said expressionlessly, "I'll punish them by making them beat this game."

Upon hearing this, Komi Nami froze on the spot.

"Are you a demon?!?"
