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
As I smiled widely I folded my hands to my chest and stood casually as if I didn't care about anything in the world except myself. I even folded the sleeves of my chest and combed through my hair with my fingers as I stared at Dominic who was fuming greatly. After minutes of suppressing his anger he couldn't bear it anymore and walked towards me."Just who do you think you are?" he asked me in anger. "Just because you've acquired wealth doesn't mean you can talk to me anyhow! You're still way beneath me in terms of influence!""Yes!" his bully friends and henchmen all echoed as they rammed their fists into their palms.I could only smile casually as I bent to take my glass of orange juice which was standing on the table before sipping it slowly. Then I said, "I'll reply in r
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 could even see Dominic sneer at me after I sat down. I bet he was glad he would see me lose this time. He knew that once I lost I would also lose face even though I don't comply with the terms. It was even better for him than complying because I'd live with shame for eternity."Carlos, you need to win this loser once and for all," Dominic said to Carlos and patted his back."I'll make sure he loses so badly, Boss," Carlos was beaming. I've never seen him so happy before in entire life. I guess getting rid of a pest like me was a one-time relief.He placed his left elbow on the table and extended his hand to me with outstretched fingers, a crooked smile on his finger. I actually forgot to mention one thing about Carlos. Most people use their right hands while
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
"You're such a scum!""You only know how to lie against others and defame them!""Jason is right! You're nothing but someone who depends on his father's wealth!""Yeah, without his father he would have been nothing by now!""I can't believe he decided to say something as despicable as this against Jason! He's such a scum!"All the students suddenly turned against him at the last moment, shocking him and his henchmen. Just earlier everyone had been saying things against me and now they had turned over to my side after just a few words. It was too shocking and unbelievable! It even shocked them more than the event of defeating Carlos in an arm wrestling!
After the whole nerve breaking fiasco I left the cafeteria amidst the sympathetic gestures of the students. They all promised to upload the live streaming to all the social media accounts in their phones. I was very much elated after hearing that from them. When I left I didn't come across Dominic again and felt that he had already left the school for good.Lunch period was already over and classes commenced. As usual, I found classes very boring and couldn't concentrate in class. I was thinking about Paulina and her condition. Was there anyway I could restore her to how she was before?"System, can I use Healing to restore Paulina back to how she was before?" I asked the Enigmatic System. "Is it possible?"[YOUR LEVEL IS TOO LOW ENOUGH TO DO THAT. ABILITIES LIKE RUSH ABSORP
When I drove into the mansion I had a warm smile as I imagined Paulina becoming happy. I came down from my car with the bags containing the wears as I walked towards the house. I saw Paulina moving her wheelchair out of the house. That meant she had been waiting for me for so long in the living room and immediately rushed out when she heard the sound of my car.I smiled at her as I apologized, "I apologize for keeping you very lonely."A small smile formed at the corners of Paulina's mouth as she said, "It was nothing actually. I got to move around the mansion.""Really?" I didn't immediately talk about what I had bought and allowed her to take over the conversation. That was what a real gentleman would do.Latest Chapter
