The World Seems Realistic But Why Do I Have A Leveling System? - Chapter 208

Syahira, she has a kind and strict personality that would interfere if she saw an injustice happening right in front of her eyes. In a way, she’s a nosy and troublesome person.

Because of that personality of hers, many were divide into a hate or love relationship, the teacher being the latter while the former were students like the three that was thrashing Luke. But more people likes her mostly of how diligent she is at everything, this also earned her right to became the classroom’s monitor.

“Huh? Oh, if it isn’t our respectful class monitor. What, is there anything you need of us?”

“Are you finally interested in accompanying us to somewhere ‘fun’?”

“Hehehe.”

A frown appeared on her face at their oblivious and rude remarks. Because the teacher was in needs of her help, she happened to be late for lunch. She didn’t expect to came across a bullying while she was on her way to cafeteria. Even worse, it’s bullying that involved physical.

This would have gone unnoticed if it was any other students that walks into the scene. Looking down at the bullied student lay on the floor with many bruises on both of his hands, her body trembled with outrage as she thought, ‘How could they do such cruel things to their fellow student? If I hadn’t stop them just in time, would they continue until the victim passed out, or at worse…die?’

When such thoughts crossed her mind, she couldn’t look at the three the same way she look at other people. In her perspective, they seems more like monsters wearing human’s skin. If it wasn’t for the fact that she had heard many bad rumors about them from both the teachers and students alike, and now seeing their action in person, she would never reach such conclusion that fast.

Ignoring the three, she immediately rush toward Luke and crouching down as she ask, “Are you okay?”

‘Yeah, I’m the embodiment of healthy itself. No poop, sherlock. It fxcking hurts.’ Luke retorted in his mind. If he hadn’t hold himself back, he would have said those words right back at her for asking the obvious.

Though she came with good intention, he would rather her not interfering in his business. He already had plan in mind for these three, there’s no way he would let them go with just apologies. With that thought in mind, Luke tried his best to smile as if to assure her and said, “I’m okay, I got this bruise from a fall.”

As if she couldn’t believe what he just said, she was staring at him with a dumbstruck expression on her face. ‘I’m literally signalling you here, lady, please go away. You would only make the situation worse if you dally any longer as, there’s a very high chance of you of getting caught into this mess. I’m saving you from trouble here, please, go away.’ with that thought in his mind, Luke tried his best to signal her with his eyes.

But as expected of a mind rules by justice, she couldn’t read his thought. Rather, there’s no way she can read him with just his eyes alone unless she got the talent for it.

“Why are you lying? I clearly saw them beating you from afar! That’s it, we’re going to—”

“No no no, you’re not going anywhere with him, Class Monitor.”

The leader of the group immediately interrupted her before she could take him under her wings. With a grin on his face, he follow up by saying, “Why don’t you go with us instead? Just leave this guy alone, just as he said, he’s fine. Why not have fun with us?”

“Right!”

She glares fiercely at them in response, but on their perspectives, she looks even cuter rather than scary.

“What do you think would happen if I scream my heart out?”

Syahira said with a confident tone. Although no one is around in the hallways aside from them, it’s a different story if she ended up screaming, alerting both the teacher and students alike immediately to their location. No matter how confident they are of their strength, they aren’t fast enough to outrun an a.d.u.l.t. Also, they can’t just left the two behind.

With the cons far outweighs their hobbies, they quickly turned around and look at each other with understanding look in their eyes, backoff for now.

“Heh, lucky for you. If it wasn’t for us being gentlemen and not wanting to hit on a girl, we wouldn’t have let you go.”

“Be thankful, coward.”

“Shame on you.”

Leaving those as their departing words, the three left the scene followed by Syahira’s glares at their back. Once she were sure they really leave, she breathe a relieved sigh.

“You should mind your business.”

Upon hearing cold words right behind her, she didn’t frown but smile at him instead before saying, “Let me help you get to nurse. It’s quite far from here, but with me helping you, it should be faster than you walking on your own.”

As she said, if he were to walk on his own with bruises all over his body, it would take a long time until he reach his destination. As much as he didn’t want her to interfere with his business, he also didn’t want others to see him with his current state. Plus, this girl is actually quite stubborn from what he heard.

Without saying anything, he nodded his head.

With the help of class monitor, they soon arrive in front of the infirmary. Luke internally sighed, it was pretty awkward on the way here as they were pretty close, enough to hear each other’s breathes. Though he tried to distract himself with something else, his thoughts immediately gone awry the moment he felt something soft touching his side at every steps he took.

Finally, he was freed from the torture.

“You can take a leave now, I appreciate the help but this is where we depart.”

“And here I thought you can’t express gratitude, I’m glad I was wrong. Can you walk yourself inside?”

“Yes.” Luke then proceed to head inside the infirmary and starts looking around in search for the nurse. Unfortunately, there’s no one else in the room other than him. He found himself an empty bed before laying down as a plan ran through his mind.

By the look on their faces before they left, Luke can tell they definitely won’t let him go if they met him after this. Hell, there’s a possibility that they would wait for him at the school’s gate. For someone who cares more about their pride, highly possible.

‘From the looks of those four, class monitor included, they didn’t appear the least fearful. I thought whoever is behind the killer would make a huge scene judging by how high-profile the psychopath that murdered my friends in cold blood, but it appear not,’ thought Luke.

“You appeared to be bored, well with your current state, I guess it make sense.”

Luke g.r.o.a.n.e.d in pain when his body jolt in surprise upon hearing someone spoken out of nowhere, close to him. While gritting his teeth due to the pain, he turned his head to the side and saw a familiar person with a long white hair, and a half fox mask covering the latter’s face from being seen. Just from its lean built alone, it could be a girl, but a guy at the same time. It’s hard to tell from just that.

“I just left you alone in the hallways but didn’t expect to find you with a flower by your side. If I have to give my honest opinion, you got a good taste, however, I don’t think you have any chance with the way you are right now.”

It even has androgynous voice! At this point Luke didn’t even care whether the devil by his side is female or male, heck, it could be both.

“That’s not funny. I’m not really good with people like her, good at everything they does while having a good personality to boot. If I had to choose, I would rather get myself an airhead type of girl.”

“Huh? I didn’t expect that coming from you, who blushed a moment ago when her b.o.o.b.s keep touching your side.”

“That’s a normal reaction for a high schooler like me!”

“You mean, v.i.r.g.i.n high schooler, but okay. I didn’t came here to tease you, here, take this.”

Luke panicked the moment the devil thrown a vail made of glass straight at him. If he hadn’t heard her warning in time, it would have shattered to pieces on the floor.

“What is this? Why are you giving me this?”

“Isn’t it obvious? It’s for treating your wounds.”

Inspecting the blood red liquid inside the vial, Luke doubt this thing would help him in his recovery. He’s definitely doubtful for sure, however, that doesn’t matter. With a bit of strength left, Luke opened the cap before gulping down the whole content at once.

Then he witnessed the bizarre sight of his bruises disappearing instantly along with the pain. It happened so quick and magical that he couldn’t comprehend whether what he saw was real, or just an imagination of his running wild.
