Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army!

Chapter 1193: This Might Be Our Greatest Challenge So Far!



Although we convinced two of the three friends around Maria's circle of friends, Sofia, the arrogant Russian young lady that disliked Maria to begin with, was completely against the idea.

"Come on Sofia, let's get along, don't be selfish," said Emily insisted.

"Y-yeah, we have to get along with everyone, let's try," Alma smiled cutely, trying to convince her with her adorable smile.

But that didn't work, Sofia was a stone-cold young lady, and a very arrogant, selfish one at that.

It wasn't that Partner meant anything to her, she didn't mind at all.

But befriending Partner probably was a thing of class for her.

"T-That's it! I just can't with you all, you're all so dumb!" Sofia angrily said. "And you, Maria! What the hell is wrong with you?! Ugh, I'm out of here! And- Huh?"

However, Sofia suddenly stopped her track from escaping.

Honestly I wasn't going to continue trying to convince her, the girls clearly preferred me over her at the end, and she doesn't even like us.

I don't think she likes any of her friends... she's very mean and probably is our friend just for images.

"Are you sure you should be leaving like that, Sofia?"

Suddenly, Jonathan asked her, as she noticed he was with us.

His beautiful blue eyes sparkled, as his handsome face met hers.

"J-Jonathan...?!"

The two looked at one another, sparkles appeared everywhere, I could even see flowers blooming in the atmosphere.

What the hell is this?

Was this world an Otome Game all along?!

She blushed like a cute and innocent maiden, immediately stopping from getting away from

us.

Oh, I see what's going on here.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

I think I understand now why she hates Maria.

It's because the character Jonathan is, probably has a crush on Maria or something, based on the rumors about him being with me.

Then Sofia likes Jonathan, makes sense, he's kind of a perfect handsome young knight, a true hero.

Light magic, swordsmanship, tall, muscular, yet also lean build, handsome face, big blue eyes, blonde hair.

He's indeed quite the perfect man, and he's also gentle and heroic, merciful...

Dammit this guy, does he even have a flaw?!

If anything, it would be his naivety I guess, he's easily manipulated by others.

Like it happened with the Church of Odin and the Empire of Light when they were able to stop him from stopping my execution.

Back then he had the power to stop it but ended just seeing me getting killed.

It was because they had his family hostage though, and they threatened on killing them if he acted.

So that's why I don't really have any grudge against him...

But he changed now, and he is putting me before his own family even, he doesn't even know how they're doing at all.

But well, that's that, and this is this.

"Come on Sofia, you're making Jonathan look sad," I said. "Let's get along! I've also bought Jonathan, Emeraldine, Nia, and many other friends! How about we expand our friend group? Us four is too little!"

"E-Eeeh? Jonathan is... do you want to?" Sofia muttered, blushing even more.

"Well yes, if you don't mind, I would gladly become your friend, Sofia!" Jonathan smiled, winking at her.

That's my boy, show her your divine rizz!

"J-Jo... Jonathan..." Sofia was completely and utterly won over. "Well! Whatever... I mean, I suppose we need more friends to do the incoming exams. The year of just written and practical stuff is now over, the next exams are all in the field after all, us four won't be enough. Most parties are composed of six members... Fine, fine!"

The Russian young lady sat down again; we were left slightly dumbfounded.

"Man, you're good at this," Jonathan's friend, the tall elf man Bernhard laughed, patting Jonathan's shoulders. "Not bad! I had been thinking about recruiting some cuties for a party! If we could get them with us, we would be unstopable..."

"Eh? Is that so..." Jonathan was still a bit lost. "Um, well, let's get along then..."

He's good at acting he was clearly flustered about this entire ordeal, and I can't blame him for it either way.

"Hey, I'm back. Those damn kids wouldn't let me alone for a single second..." Lucifer stepped in, carrying with him a few bags of chips, cookies, and some drinks. "Want to eat something? I think this contains food, right?"

"Ah yes!" I nodded. "This is also going to be our new friend! He said he got on a new leaf!"

"Huh?" Lucifer looked at Emily, Alma, Sofia, and the other people of this world that were with us, such as Emeraldine's elf friends and Bernhard looked at him in surprise.

"Even Lucifer...?" Emily muttered. "I-I mean... he's kind of cool but really?"

"Um..." Alma was nervous, but she blushed when he saw Lucifer approach. "Hi... err, did Maria introduce us to you?"

"Ah?" Lucifer raised an eyebrow. "Right... ahem, yes... of course."

"Papa I want snacks!" Nyx started annoying her father. "A-Ah! I mean, big brother!"

"Big bro... ther?" Lucifer was even more confused. "Maria, what the hell is going on now?" he asked through telepathy.

"I'll explain things as they go, for now, let's be all friend with one another," I told him,

winking at him.

Like that, after a few explanations, the exasperated screams of disbelief of Sofia, and Jonathan trying to calm her down, we enjoyed a small lunch before the classes of today

resumed.

My family was crazy over the snacks of this world very similar to modern Earth, the cookies, fries, cheese-flavored sticks, sugary drinks, and juices, and all those kinds of pastries, sandwiches, and more being sold made them all go insane.

They ended eating so much that the students were a big weirded out, even Jonathan ate a lot, Sofia was shocked he could fit all of that on his stomach.

[Congratulations! You have managed to keep the friendship with your Character's Friends stable, while also strengthening it slightly.]

[You gained +300 Friendship Points.]

Huh?

Friendship Points?

....

"Alright students! Now that you've grown acclimated to the academy last year and you did all your practice, it's time to get to the real field of work here!" roared professor Hendrick, crossing his huge and muscular arms.

Right now, we found ourselves wearing some armor and equipment over our school uniform,

all lined in front of the professor in the school's large arena-like stadium. "Today we'll begin your real training!" he smiled. "You're fighting Nightmares! Prepare

yourselves!"

Finally, some action!
