The System In My Head

Important moment

The professor is at the front of the class giving his final lecture to all the students. It was a fun and productive week for everyone. That's also what happened to Ben because Zachary didn't give him any trouble, not even nametag insults. Zachary must have been afraid Miyuki refused to follow up with the date she did.

The professor smiled with satisfaction. To varying degrees, most students have improved their motivational speaking skills. Observing student growth is the thing he enjoys most about his work. Now, he would see how much they had grown. He finished and it was time to end the seminar speech.

Each student composes or selects a famous short speech and will read it in front of the class. After that, there will be a short period where everyone gives feedback.

The first ones to ride were Miyuki and Zachary. Everyone expects them to be the best because they have the most experience. By allowing them to act first, the professor hopes their speech can be the goal the students want to aspire to.

Miyuki gives a funny speech that supports the beauty of Japanese gardens. This light topic shows how motivational speaking is a common skill that one can apply in any field of communication. As long as you want to convey your point, Motivational Speaking can help you do it.

Zachary's riding next. He gave a stern speech on the need for higher civilian oversight for national security. It was full of anti-terrorism rants.

The topic doesn't suit everyone's taste, but even Ben has to admit that it's a powerful speech that catches everyone's attention. 'Steve's ass over there has a way with words. This must be how the leaders of the poison-beating sect started...'

The professor praised the speech in front of the class. He thought that Zachary was his best teaching assistant in applying the materials. Although the Zachary level is not quite at a professional standard, it is above the students.

After that, the students gave their speeches. Some of them make their own, and others use famous speeches from public figures. Ben was the last one in line. Zachary deliberately set this up.

He knew other students would be nervous and focused on their own speech. So Zachary makes it so they'll finish and relax before Ben rides, letting them enjoy him mocking himself.

Ben's turn is coming soon. Miyuki looked at him and bit her lips in worry. He never expected her to win. He just wants Zachary to leave him alone for a week, which he's done so far. You could say he achieved his goal. So there is no point in Ben making a speech because this seminar does not provide credit or value. "Benjamin-san." he said. "You don't have to talk ... It's okay."

Ben looked at his worries and felt a warmth within. This girl is really the wise type. Still, how could he not go up? Of course he will! "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I'll be looking forward to our date."

At that confident response, Miyuki tilted her head in confusion. He didn't see how Ben might give a better speech than Zachary. Zachary is the best speaker here, even better than him. It is clear that Ben only started speaking in public a week ago. He was very nervous at the time. He can't even say his name!

At most, he could finish the speech today without the anxiety of destroying it. He rationalizes that Ben must have been trying to assuage his concerns. 'Benjamin-san is the stubborn type, ' Miyuki thought. Although he knows it will be worth it, Ben still faces danger, like a samurai who swarmed into a hail of bullets. Miyuki's evaluation of Ben went up one level. He became curious about her.

Ben did not fail to notice Miyuki's change. Well, the system makes it hard to ignore it.

[Current target attraction level: curious]

Zachary tells the professor about this contest and he is reluctant to agree at first. He felt it was unprofessional for a teaching assistant to compete with a student, but Zachary convinced him. Zachary said Ben issued a challenge to make a difficult goal to motivate himself to work hard, so Zachary did his job to help a student.

That's how Zachary used motivational speech to deceive his own teachers. He even felt the professor should be proud.

Miyuki also verifies that Ben issued the challenge and asks the professor to judge. Since it was a challenge imposed by Ben to motivate himself, the professor could not deny it. Of course, she had no idea Miyuki would date the winner. Otherwise, he would not have agreed to become a pimp.

The professor wasn't the only one who knew about the contest. Zachary approached some students and convinced them to spread the betting rumors to everyone in the class. Because Ben has the guts to challenge him, Zachary wants to make sure Ben is humiliated to the fullest.

*Step**Step*Ben walking to the front of the class. It is time to show the results of his efforts.

When Miyuki did not see the note in her hand, just a bottle of water, her brows furrowed. No need to memorize the material. That's a lot harder! That's why no one does it. Even him or Zachary. But is this Ben's plan? Miyuki bit her nails out of worry.

The professor's eyes flickered, but he said nothing.

Zachary smiled broadly. 'This idiot would already suffer, but he even asked for death! Great!'

Ben didn't miss Zachary's scorn. He himself put on a cold smile. 'Just wait. You will be persecuted...Then, I will use your pain as coal in my ambitious furnace...'

Everyone looked at Ben strangely. He rubbed his hands together like an evil scientist who was making an evil plan.

*Batuk* However, the room became quiet. Ben is working hard for now. 'It's not going to go like last time. I'm ready.' He licked his lips in preparation to speak and looked around at everyone.

Then.he felt the gazes of everyone on his body like piercing needles...

*Buk**Buk*

It appeared again - a crippling anxiety.
