The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master – Chapter 0: Prologue

I dropped out of‌ high school and⁠ spent nearly twenty‍⁠ years perfecting my⁠‌ skills with a knife.

Life‍ kept me so‍‍‍ busy that I never really developed‍ any hobbies. The‌ closest I came⁠ was dabbling in⁠ mobile games with⁠ auto-hunt features.

I had a natural‍ talent for handling‌⁠‌ knives. There wasn’t‌‍‍ anything I couldn’t slice, nor anything‌‍‍ I couldn’t chop. Of course, that‌‌‍ didn’t come without‌⁠‍ effort—I worked hard‌‍ enough to get‌‍ blisters on my‍ hands.

Before⁠ I realized it,‍ I had earned‌‌ the title of⁠⁠ «Best Knife Specialist‌ in the Country»‌‌‌ at my job.‍

I didn’t like settling⁠ down for too‍ long, so I never stayed in‍ one place for‍ more than three‌ years. I even⁠ helped revive several‌‌⁠ businesses that were‍‌ on the verge‌‍‌ of collapse.

In fact, my skills‌⁠‌ became so renowned‍‌ that I found‍ success. People from⁠‍ all over the‍⁠‍ country sought my⁠ knife skills, even‍ those from the⁠⁠‌ mafia and gangs.⁠‍

Sure, they tried to⁠ recruit me, but‍ I turned them‌ down without a second thought.

I’d⁠‌ spent my life⁠⁠⁠ cutting fish, and⁠‌ now they wanted‌ me to join‌ a gang? Even⁠ if they offered me a fortune,‌ I had no⁠ interest in that‌ kind of life.‌

I’m‍‌ rambling a bit.‍‍

If‌ you’re familiar with this kind of‌‌ cliché, you’ve probably already guessed what’s‌⁠⁠ coming next.

That’s‌ right.

I became a character‌‍‍ in a game.‌

A game I’d quit‌ after spending a few bucks on‍‍‌ it because the‌ female characters were⁠ my type.

And‌⁠ now, here I am, blessed by‌‌ the God of‍‍‍ the Sword.
