From a Talentless nobody to An SSS Class Dragon-Chapter 193: Who Needs School?

I pushed the thoughts of that nightmare away and got up. The sun seems to be coming up finally so it is about time I got ready for school.

It didn’t take very long since there isn’t really a dress code for school. I put on casual clothes like always and grabbed my bag to go. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Rokuro! Are you ready yet!?!" Minami shouts from downstairs.

"Yeah! I’m coming!" I shout back while exiting my bedroom.

School really isn’t going to benefit me much when I can just become a mechanic instead of something. It’ll be a lot more useful to me in the future anyway.

The amount of stuff that I’ll be able to accomplish is huge. There’s just a lot out there that needs someone like me.

Lots of machines that could be fixed up and sold or things that can be fixed up for me to use too. The possibilities are actually endless for me.

A junker.

I made it downstairs after a few moments, Minami was waiting by the door like usual. "Glad to see that you are ready on time." Minami says with a smile.

"I’m always ready on time." I reply confidently.

"Sure. Let’s get going." She says while opening the door.

I gave a wave goodbye to the cyborg version of Mom and made my way to school with Minami. She would go to the building next to mine but it wasn’t far at least.

All the kids around me were walking with their friends and having a great time.

Personally it didn’t bother me much since I didn’t really care for school all that much. But I made it to class without any issues, it was what you’d expect of a school.

Kids all around in their different groups talking, making fun of others, enjoying our youth.

Finding a way to get to a place like that would be great. The thought about the floating city of Elyndra was all I could think about as I stared out the window.

The people up there must enjoy themselves quite a bit since they don’t have to deal with anything down here. We have so many different problems to deal with all the time.

But I guess most people couldn’t afford to live up in a place like that anyway. It costs way too much money just to get a ticket up there.

You either do it that way or you find a way to prove that you are worth bringing up there. A junker would definitely not be a way to go about getting up there.

I just wish I could understand how they made all of that possible in the first place.

"I see that you are all focused on the floating city as usual. Elyndra is quite the place. I’m sure you’ll all enjoy this next lesson." The teacher speaks with a bit of excitement.

I could see that she had something up on a screen about Elyndra. It was some sort of documentary on the creation process of the city.

It talked about how they incorporated this "mana" to make it float a lot easier instead of relying on primitive technology. Mana was the new source for a lot of new technology, making it a lot more powerful.

I only paid attention to stuff like this because it would be useful for my journey as a junker who can fix anything. Making things better and maybe even with the help of mana would be huge.

Imagine the kinds of customers I could attract if I did that kind of work. I’d be able to pay my way to do anything in no time.

Or I guess I could just become a doctor in one of those big cities but I don’t think it would be worth it for me. Doing all that work on people can be exhausting.

(The school day finally ends.)

I find myself walking home with Minami and it was peaceful as usual, kind of boring if I’m being honest. This kind of thing wasn’t something I was upset about, but it would be nice if something interesting happened.

"School is definitely interesting to be in again." Minami says softly.

I could see the look on her face, it wasn’t really that great for her.

"You okay Minami?" I ask with a bit of worry in my voice.

"Of course. Don’t worry about me." She answers as she ruffles my hair a bit.

She’s never been the type to admit when something is wrong or that her day wasn’t the greatest. Minami cares too much about everyone else to express her own problems.

That’s how she’s always been, at least that’s how it has been since our parents died.

I know it is part of her trying to be the grown up who takes care of everything but I do wish she’d rely on me sometimes. That’s exactly why I need to do this.

Who needs School?

We made it back to the house safely and I ran up to my bedroom. I lock the door and immediately begin to tinker around with some of the old mechanic manuals I had.

Some of them were really useful while others didn’t hold a lot of information.

So when I finished reading one, I went to the next and the next. This was how I went about everything for the remainder of the day, at least until I was too tired to keep reading.

I was finally out of energy and stuck laying on the floor.

I’ll just express that I don’t have any interest in school. I think she’ll understand if I tell her what I really want to do for the rest of my life.

It will be quite a successful field in the end of the day as well. Being able to make money from something like that is all we’ll ever need. Minami won’t have to figure out how to cover the bills when we run out of inheritance money.
