Does gravity make me stronger?

Komachi: Actually, if Onii-chan brought his girlfriend home, maybe Mom and Dad would let you stay at home?

Hachiman: Hmph, are you looking down on me?

Hachiman: Women only hinder my learning speed.

Komachi：NB

Hachiman: What do you mean? Onii-chan doesn't understand middle schooler jokes.

Komachi: It means Onii-chan, hurry up and go find Motoyo-neechan! If that's not possible, Akari-neechan will do too. Komachi, I really want to see both of you again.

Bringing a girl home? You can dream about that.

Hachiman: Sigh, Komachi, don't you want to see your dear older brother?

Komachi: I don’t want to

"Komachi, how cruel you are!"

Hachiman shut his phone in a huff and stared blankly at the ceiling.

but.

Taking girls back to their hometowns—how could they even think of that?

Why don't you let Komachi bring boys home...?

No way! If Komachi dares to bring a boy home, I'll definitely break his legs.

Thinking of this, Hachiman turned over in bed.

To be honest, his relationship with those girls wasn't very good either. Komachi was always misunderstanding things on her own, which was really annoying.

"That's true, it's just a kiss, what's the big deal? She's not pregnant."

It's just for fun.

"..."

Don't let this remind me of that!

Hachiman wished he could erase the memory of that afternoon from his mind.

To stop himself from having wild thoughts, he opened the system interface with his mind.

[Item to be used: Random Ability Roulette *1]

I haven't used the reward I received last time, so I'll take this opportunity to use it.

"However, given that the gravity value has been reduced so much, and I'm supposed to be a hero who saves the world, why is this all the reward I get?"

You should really think about whose fault it is that things turned out this way.

who is it?

Is it me?

That's fine.

Hachiman nervously opened the roulette wheel, and while waiting for his abilities to refresh, he changed his posture.

Blue sky and white clouds...

No, the Golden Legend!

Accompanied by clanging sounds and dazzling special effects, a new interface popped up.

[Acquired Ability: Eagle Eye]

[Capability Introduction: View any object panel]

Chapter 141, Page 139: Accompanying Su Shi to School (5.5K)

The description of the ability is simple but not clear at all.

First, what is a panel?

A control panel is just a control panel.

Like playing an online game?

Hachiman asked in his mind, but the system irresponsibly gave him a perfunctory answer.

Ah, it's the control panel.

If you had given me even one more punctuation mark, I could have understood a little bit. It seems you know absolutely nothing.

Hachiman shook his head, feeling there was no point in asking any further questions, and decided to give it a try.

So, I packed my clothes and left the dormitory.

The incandescent lights in the corridor were already on, illuminating the once pitch-black passageway as if it were daytime. Hachiman stood by the railing and looked into the distance.

At the entrance of the dormitory, some students who had just returned from training courses were coming and going.

People who know each other greet each other with a smile, and strangers will nod in acknowledgment.

Hachiman casually glanced at an unfamiliar crew-cut boy, held his breath, and activated his Hawkeye Eye as if he were using his mind control.

1 ...

2 ...

3 ...

4 ...

5 ...

With a countdown in my mind, about five seconds later, a silver-white screen popped up.

Above, some personal information is clearly listed.

[Name: Komon Houtaro]

【Height: 174cm】

[Weight: 60kg]

【Charm: 5】

[Stamina: 4]

【Intelligence: 6】

Reading down the screen, Hachiman easily learned the person's basic information and the system's evaluation of him in various aspects; it looked like a panel found in a very traditional RPG game.

The panel also thoughtfully provides explanations at the bottom, such as in the evaluation, 10 points is the upper limit for humans, and 5 points is the normal limit for humans.

Besides information such as height and weight, there were three boxes marked with "?" in the last column that he was very concerned about.

He squinted and continued reading.

[Content to be unlocked 1: Requires 50% affinity]

[Content to be unlocked 2: Requires 100% affinity]

Current favorability rating: 0 (100) (A completely indifferent passerby; although we are classmates, we have basically no interaction)

This is... favorability rating!

"hiss--"

Hachiman gasped.

The mockery of the favorability system has become the favorability system itself!

[You're lying, I didn't! You drew it yourself!]

[And isn't this a million times better than the favorability system?]

If you say so, then so be it; I won't argue.

Hachiman looked away and returned to his dormitory room, feeling a pang of regret.

For him to want this ability is somewhat superfluous.

On the one hand, in his daily life as a young man, he doesn't plan to rely on the affection system to win over beautiful girls.

On the other hand, regarding fantasy battles, Hachiman doesn't expect to encounter the kind of battle-type plots found in light novels.

Furthermore, the activation condition for this ability is probably staring at someone for about five seconds, which carries the risk of being treated as sexual harassment, similar to memory reading.

Overall, this ability is somewhat lackluster; perhaps only the unlocked content is worth paying attention to.

"Sigh, what a huge loss."

With a sigh, Hachiman picked up his phone again and continued scrolling.

"My wish to love you is..."

The short video I'm currently watching is a live fancam from a few days ago by the popular girl group SUMIMI.

The group has two members, both of whom are wearing stylish long dresses with black as the main color, paired with various novel accessories, and look full of youthful energy.

Incidentally, the two people in the short video appear to be high school students.

At such a young age, the two had already become incredibly popular idols throughout Japan.

As a fellow high school student, Hachiman could only lie in his dormitory slowly rotting away, which made him sigh at the vast difference between people.

[Smelly, referring to being forcibly kissed by a beautiful girl]

"..."

Having been exposed to the bands End and Mygo, Hachiman, who wasn't (very) interested in pretty girls, surprisingly double-clicked the screen twice to give a thumbs up.

then.

Just as he was getting ready to appreciate the live performance of the top idol band, he suddenly had a thought: "Hawkeye, can it work on people on the screen? I don't think so, right?"

If it's truly possible to find information about the other side through a virtual network, then that capability is quite impressive.

Even if he doesn't become a criminal investigator, he can still be a "box-opening hero." Anyone who dares to criticize others online will have their real name exposed with just one look from him.

It's like a high-end version of Death Eye.

Thinking this, Hachiman unconsciously focused his mind and gazed intently at the girl on the screen.

About five seconds later.

Nothing happened.

Unfortunately, his dream of becoming the king of keyboard warriors by following the internet's lead has been dashed.

Hachiman shrugged, not paying much attention. He scrolled through his phone for a while longer, then gradually felt sleepy. He took a shower, crawled into bed, and fell into a deep sleep.

...

The next day, the weather was fine and sunny.

In the morning, the sun shone brightly, and a cool breeze brought comfort.

However, Hachiman knew that this might be one of the last few cool days before Tokyo heats up.

Spring in Tokyo is fleeting; soon, the cool breezes will be replaced by the scorching summer. Summer is just around the corner, and the sound of cicadas will become the most ubiquitous accompaniment throughout the city.

By then, it will become a sticky season.

Well, it's not entirely bad; at least the girls on the street are wearing short skirts.

No, this isn't what I was thinking. Tongzi, you're not being discreet with your words, are you?

Sorry, I forgot.

Walking to school, Hachiman continued his usual human observation activities, observing the passersby.

However, with Hawkeye's help this time, he was able to learn more, including some very interesting things.

First of all, favorability ratings don't always start from 0.

Hachiman casually glanced at a pedestrian on the roadside, only to find that the other person's favorability rating was -3.

As for the reason, Hachiman had no idea, and it wasn't written in the panel either.

However, he guessed it was because of her looks, which makes a lot of sense in reality. People fall in love at first sight with beautiful women and want to gouge their eyes out when they see ugly women. It would be strange if they had a high level of liking for them.

Secondly, the information on the panel will be enriched based on the level of favorability.
