The next day was Friday and I had classes that day. So I needed to go to school to cover up for everything that had been missed during the time I acquired the system. During that time I've been performing one task and mission to another. It had become a herculean routine and going to school would help reduce it (that's if the system doesn't find a way of screwing me up). Paulina was still sleeping when I got up to take my bath and dress up. I went to the kitchen to get some food for her and when I came back she was already awake. "Good morning," she greeted me brightly as she rubbed her eyes slowly. Her expression was duller than usual but I felt it was because of her drowsiness after waking up. "Morning, Paulina," I said. "How did you sleep last night?" 

As I drove the car to school everyone couldn't help but turn their heads to gawk at it, suspending what they had been doing. I could all see shock written in their eyes as they wondered who owned such an expensive car. The glasses were tinted so they couldn't see me clearly and I was happy about it. I wanted to make them spend time guessing my identity. I could hear murmurings which soon erupted into a loud discussion as the students pointed at my car, chatting away. I recognized several faces among them, for example Diego who was bullying a young kid who had just arrived in the school—a fresher—and he was merciless. At that moment he turned his head to look at my very expensive Mercedes something something. Even I had forgotten the exact name of the model. I happily did a drift and stepped on the brake, causing the tyres

Lessons that day were kind of boring. I didn't know if it was because I've found a way to get money without having to engage in any white collar job or Paulina's absence but I suddenly developed a distaste for formal education. I mean, let's be practical. Who would be serious in his education when he could receive millions of dollars for taking tasks or missions? That person would have to be a die-hard fan of formal education to do that.During lunchtime I walked confidently to the cafeteria to get my food. Everyone couldn't help but turn to stare at me as I passed by them. I no longer cared about what they said or how they looked at me. I was now the big boss of the school and it was high time everyone started seeing that. I even developed this smug expression to make me look cooler and aloof.Dominic and Sophia, with the others who had joined him to bully me, were already seated having their lunch. When they saw me enter the cafeteria their expressions turned very sour. Definitely Do

One merit point huh? I asked myself as I looked at the faces of all the students around. Their eyes were all filled with admiration as they stared at me. I could tell they were beginning to accept me as the overall student in the school. That meant that if i lose this arm wrestling I would receive a demerit point. When that happened everything I walked for would go down the drain. That was what I didn't want to happen. "System, can I use my skills?" I asked silently. I knew there was no way I was beating Carlos in terms of strength without relying on my player skills. If I didn't use my skills I was going to lose this arm wrestling. [RUSH ABSORPTION AND HEALING ARE CURRENTLY LOCKED TILL END OF THE ARM WRESTLING] Damn...I couldn't help but cuss inwardly as I resisted the urge

 I couldn't believe that I'd actually beat Carlos in an arm wrestling match. It was still like a dream to me and it took me some time to recover. I didn't know who was more shocked about the outcome, me or Carlos. But that didn't matter anymore. What mattered was I'd won the arm wrestling and now I've gotten a merit point from the Enigmatic System. He was so happy about it and even smiled more widely, flashing my set of white teeth. "D*mn...He actually won against Carlos at the last moment!" "And we all thought he would lose!" "He was clearly struggling at first! He was clearly losing!" "How did he win all of a sudden?!" "Jason is truly terrify
