Again, it wasn’t until later into the day that Ryutaro had any progress with the first lead he had for the quest. Over the course of university classes and life, the quick post had simply just been forgotten. It wasn’t until after dinner that he opened his laptop again, and found a new message waiting for him. He gave it a quick glance over and winced involuntary, but quickly shook his head at the insignificant detail. Leaning back against his seat, he wondered what his reply should be and before long he had typed out a message.

Don’t know much myself, just got the quest [Others like me] today. Haven’t seen anyone else with <The Gamer> over their heads, and frankly I’m in one of the largest universities in this country, Neo Tokyo U. 

If you’re in Neo Tokyo and want to meet up, go there. I’m sure it’ll be easy enough to pick one another out from the crowd.[/quote]

Satisfied that the message didn’t do anything more than put the ball onto the other individual’s court, he sent the message before turning his attention elsewhere. His bag was on the floor to his right, filled with a few text and notebooks. With a sigh, he took a glance at his laptop before pushing it away to make space for his books. If he was allowed to, he would have gone back and punched his high school teachers in the faces. No homework. Oh sure it was technically true, but the readings and notes one had to take were infinitely worse than any homework he received before. 

While normally Ryutaro would have split his attention between reading, taking notes, using his laptop, and loafing around, today he had a different plan. Namely one that involved making use of the skill he had apparently gained from all this oddness - [Attention Focuser]. A bit of an odd name really, but its effect seemed useful at the least. With his eyes closed Ryutaro thought of studying and murmured, [b]“Attention Focuser. Task: Studying.”[/b] He wasn’t sure if that would activate the skill, nor did he feel any noticeable change, but nevertheless he turned his attention to the books at hand.
