My Triling System

Chapter Eleven: New Quest, First Fight

Kevin searched around the first floor of the library and picked up as many books as he could about abilities. Most of them listing and describing the most common abilities. Dan wasn't too bothered and decided to just select a random fiction book to read.

The two sat at their tables while Kevin started to flicker away. After skimming through several books he had been unable to find a single one that sounded like his system, nor did he find anything talking about Triling.

Dan had kept a close eye on Kevin and had noticed the type of books he had been picking out.

"What's with all the books, are you looking for something in particular?"

Kevin thought about it for a while before giving Dan an answer. He didn't know what to answer but after Dan saw that Kevin was silent, he decided to put up another question.

 "Well is there anything specific you're looking for?"

Kevin sighed before answering him. "Not really. Although I've found something very interesting in one of those books. Have you ever heard of someone who possesses an elf, fairy and human characteristics? Like being someone who is of those three races?"

Dan suddenly started to laugh out loud. 

"What are you, crazy? I've never heard of something like that. How would someone be an elf and still be a fairy. Sure some people can be half elf, half human but being an elf, fairy and human is really crazy to say. Are you sure, you have not accidentally grabbed a fantasy book about fake superheroes and immortals?"

Kevin felt a little embarrassed by Dan's reaction. Of course, he understood this reaction was pretty normal. Would he have reacted any differently if someone had asked him about someone having the characteristics of different races.

 Kevin continued to look around the library to see if there was anything else he could find. Eventually, he had gone through every single one of the books detailing about races and magics. Kevin then considered trying his chances by going a floor above where there were some Pure mage and spell Wizard students.

' Maybe there's something up there, but I can't imagine what the academy would do to me for breaking the rules, especially on the first day. I can't be on a blacklist after finally getting out of my father's clutches in the forest.' Kevin thought.

As Kevin continued to walk around the library, he considered what Dan had said. Perhaps he really should venture into the fiction section and see if he might be lucky. What's the worst thing that could happen?

A book titled 'The Truth about the three race man' immediately caught his interest. Kevin took out the book and gave it a quick look.

Kevin couldn't help but sate his curiosity, so he started to read the book. After reading and skimming through the book, Kevin found most of it to be useless. A lot of the things that a three race person did, didn't relate to him at all. 

The only thing he could relate to, was having the ears of an elf and also he felt like there is still a bit of human in him. Eventually, Kevin decided to close the book and call it a day. It didn't seem like he was going to find anything from the first floor of the library.

As soon as Kevin closed the book though, he heard a familiar sound and the pop up screen appeared at the corner of his eyes again.

< You have gained more knowledge about the system >

< +10 Exp received >

< 10/100 Exp >

"What?" Kevin blurted out.

Kevin starred long and hard at the message and reread it multiple times.

'It can't be! Why did I get Exp from reading that fantasy book?'

Kevin wanted to know more about how the system works out but since he wasn't able to get a good book to read, he had no option but to play according to the system's wishes. If not for the system he wouldn't have been where he was now.

When Kevin finished checking things out at the library, he noticed that Dan had disappeared from the table and was no longer there.

' He must have gotten bored and gone somewhere else. I'll probably see him later in our room.' Kevin thought.

Right now, there wasn't much he could do about it. He could only live his everyday life as a normal person and wait till he reach level ten. It seems like there is something that the system wants to show him when he reach that level, so he can't help but wait till he get to level ten. Every exp point is so special to him but as he thought about it, he discovered that he still had a long way to go before he could reach level ten. As Kevin left the library, he decided to head to the battle arena. A thought had seized his mind and he wanted to try something out.

He was walking through the school hallway when he saw a kid being pushed up against the wall by another student. The boy on the wall looked like he had already been hit a few times and had bruises on his face.

"Gosh, he's gonna kill this student." Kevin looked around and saw that there were no one around. 

Kevin was debating with himself whether or not to get involved in the first place. He knew if this student gets killed here, no one will know what happened or who killed him. He didn't know why but he feel like he should interfere and help the student that was being bullied. 

He quickly made up his mind. He had wanted to test out his strength to see how strong he had gotten. He wasn't able to fight ever since he had got his system and it seemed fate had presented him with the perfect opponent. Although he didn't know how much power this student have, he still knew that with his experience in fighting with his father's disciple, he could still win the fight.

The kid that was being bullied looked to have given up, his face was red with tears and had bruises all over his face. It seemed like this was not the first time he was being bullied.

In the past, the student had tried fighting back. It was when the bullying had only just started at his old school. He had thrown back a punch and had even managed to hit the person in the face, but it had only made things worse. As a result, he had been beaten ten times harder than normal, and ever since, the bullying had only worsened.

 Kevin's blood was boiling as he saw how the boy was being hit multiple times. Surprisingly while he was thinking of what to do, the system had suddenly popped out something for him.

< New Quest >
