As the weather grew cooler, memories of Clara's first autumn in the academy city began to form.

So much had happened since then.

From her first fight, where she was beaten by delinquents and managed to make them surrender in a pathetic brawl, Clara—once a helpless airhead—had now become the [Pink Spiral], a wielder of a fearsome [Unique Ether]. Ascending any further would be difficult due to the rules of this world, but at one point, she stood shoulder to shoulder with those who were once considered the strongest in the game.

'Now, the only thing left… is to defeat Hilde.'

She had become strong enough to defeat all the others.

...

As the goal she once boasted about approached, Clara felt a mix of disbelief and excitement.

The strongest. My goal. A star that shines faintly in the distance.

'I’ve really become strong enough to challenge Hilde.'

Even though it was thanks to shortcuts and knowledge from the original game... I had accomplished something on my own. As the weakest character, Clara, I became as strong as I could.

I was proud of myself. And I was grateful to this world that gave me a new chance.

I had made many memories living with my seniors.

'I used to think that going back and forth between home and work, occasionally turning on the computer or phone to play games or shop online, was enough...'

But the emotions in this world were far more varied than I had imagined.

Though it was sometimes troublesome, tiring, and annoying... In hindsight, those moments became precious memories.
