[3] The system 1

" Indeed, Paul saved me from his hands, "Laura confirmed the allegations with a rather devilish frown on her face, with her eyes peering deeply into Tristan's disappointed eyes.

"That is not true Laura, you know that-

" Shut up, there is no way that both of them lied, it's obvious that you are lying, you tried to rape her, " a student yelled from the crowd, and to Tristan's greatest surprise, everyone else agreed.

" I cannot believe this, I did no such thing, I can't," Tristan tried to defend himself, his voice breaking from the pain he was feeling, his whole body covered in humiliation, aside from the dust, his eyes pleading to be understood but the disregard from students and even his girlfriend broke him apart.

It appeared that most students in the school were fans of Paul the athlete, being the best at it on the campus had given him a strong hold leaving Tristan with little to no support from the students.

Laura on the other hand was a diva, even though not as popular as Paul, she had lots of fame at some point on the campus, so this gave Tristan no chance to explain himself to the point of students reconsideration.

"I swear, this guy was making out with my girlfriend and all I did was-

" Girlfriend? " Another student interjected with a surprise on his face. It came as a shock to most of them that he had a relationship with Laura because they had never mentioned it to anyone. And Laura, whenever asked, explained that she was just a good friend of Tristan and that is all.

"You don't know how to lie, do you? How would Laura stoop so low to date you, I mean look at yourself, what do you have?" A female student insulted him with a disgusted glare and spat on the ground.

Tristan turned to Laura for an explanation that he knew he wouldn't get, all those while he thought he had someone, unaware that she was embarrassed to be with him, unaware that she was going out with someone else, and unaware that he would be discarded so easily.

"Sir this dude is lying, it's obvious, he tried to molest her and should be arrested, who knows how many girls he had done that too," another student uttered and a large portion of the crowd agreed with him.

"Shut up all of you!" The security silenced them with a loud voice.

"Laura, what exactly happened here, tell me everything," Tristan couldn't believe his ears, he knew that Laura would do nothing but lie again since she had done it from the start if only he was given a chance to be heard.

Laura stared at Tristan for a second, she couldn't believe how much she has humiliated him, but to keep her reputation intact, she had no choice but to lie and disregard him like he was nothing.

She liked him from the start of their relationship, but having watched her peers in wealthy relationships, she despised hers and kept it to herself. She couldn't find a way to tell Tristan that she wanted nothing to do with him because she knew that the longer they stayed together, the sooner people would find out that they were together.

"I had nothing to do with him, I can't stop so low, but he is constantly forcing me to be with him," she lied, with tears trickling down her face making her look and sound convincing.

"Laura!" Tristan exclaimed in disbelief, but was Interrupted by a slap across the face from the security.

"Shut up, you think anyone here would buy your lies?" He asked.

Shocked, by the security's reaction, Tristan muttered "No one even heard my side of the story," hoping for a chance to explain, but none was given to him.

"What you have done young man I punishable by the law, if he hadn't stopped you, you will be been charged with a rape case and landed yourself in jail. infact, you have been charged with a rape case, "

"You will come with me to the disciplinary, your punishment will be discussed there," he added.

" Punishment? " Tristan thought,

"Punishment already without explaining myself?" His head throbbed in pain as these thoughts ran through his mind, the humiliation and level of betrayal made him weaker than he was already.

Without giving him a chance to explain himself any further, the security dragged Tristan off the floor, with the cluster of students yelling and calling him insulting names.

"Call the cops on him!" They yelled,

"He should be rusticated!" Some said,

"You are such a disgrace!"

Tristan couldn't find words to say, he was too weak to even move a muscle as the security pushed him to the disciplinary center. The disciplinary chamber was an enclosed compartment located farther into the academic faculty, it was like a mini-prison for offenders while their cases were investigated or reported to the police.

This was where Tristan found himself a few minutes later. He was forcefully pushed into the cell, crashing to the ground and sustaining a few bruises, before the cell was locked.

"You'll stay here until the disciplinary administrators decide what to do with you, we may just have to hand you over to the cops by ourselves," The security officer thundered before leaving the vicinity.

While sitting alone, his eyes covered in tears and his skin with bruises, Tristan couldn't help but think about the just concluded incident and how incredulous it was.

[ Host detected]

Thinking about his relationship with Laura caused his heart to ache, and being accused of rape afterward made him feel like the world was coming to an end.

[ Resume binding]

[ Processing… ]

[ 20%]

[ Skill acquisition complete…

[ Processing… Quest…

He knew how horrendous the situation may get, and that was the last thing he needed in his life at that moment, his head throbbed in pain as he thought of the worst that could happen to him.

[ 70%]

[ Quest installation complete…

[ Reward… processing]

Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his head, worse than a migraine, blurring his vision and causing him to wince in pain and roll on the floor.

"Argh!" He cried out.

He couldn't understand what was happening, but the pain refused to cease, the last thing he heard was what sounded like a notification before he lost consciousness.

[ Host is unconscious]

[ 100% binding complete]

[ Quest installation complete]

[ Skill analysis complete]

[ Reward processing…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

His head still hurts a bit, as he slowly regains consciousness, he squinted his eyes a few times to allow his vision to brighten up.

But before they did, he saw something floating before him, causing a shiver to go down his spine. Even though he felt weak, he managed to move backward in fright.

"Am I dead? is this still the disciplinary chamber?" he wondered.

He was even more perturbed when he saw what it was that floated before him, it was alphabetical figures that displayed the words,

[ Congratulations! You have received the Role play systems]

Perplexed, Tristan wondered what was wrong with him, he couldn't get away from the image no matter how far he went backward.

"What is this?" He asked himself, running his hand across the image, but felt nothing, as if his hands had passed through them.

[ You received a system]

A strange mechanical voice spoke to him, and this made him scared.

"What is a system," he wondered, amidst his trepidation and yet again, the voice responded.

[ I am a system, a high-tech personal assistant assigned to you, I give you rewards for a completed quest, or in exchange for your experience points depending on the worth, I would change your life forever].
