Overcoming the systems

Consequences of a party

After the girls left, Alison decided to talk to him about the systems just to warn him a little bit about it, so he wouldn't make a mistake.

-A week ago they caught a person with a type of system. Unfortunately the government won't stop looking for them. 

-Really?

-Yes, those who have one can improve their current level, and learn several things that they would never achieve here.

Luan began to think about that and everything he had avoided doing at that moment, for fear of being discovered. He thought about investigating that in the bathroom, while his partner was here.

[...]

Luan went to the bathroom and started to look at the taskbar and the sections in his system. He noticed that many things he didn't try, but he was hesitant the first time he opened one of those sections, and he brought a strange object to this world that caused him problems at home. It was the first day that a system appeared in front of him out of nowhere.

But curiosity got the better of him, he started to look at many things in the menus that were there. One of them had information about him and how to improve them. 

Out of nowhere a kind of item appeared to make him stronger, but he began to hesitate a little. He couldn't go up much because everyone would notice, but he wanted to defend himself and not be a hindrance to his class like he had been a few days ago. So he decided to use some sort of potion to make himself faster, it wasn't something people cared much about.

From one moment to the next he felt strange and there wasn't much change. So he just decided to keep looking at the system without looking at the sections where there were dungeons or training. He knew perfectly well the problems that being in those places would bring him.

The following week there was a meeting in the square with the three high school classes. 

Only murmurs could be heard. Snaider showed up and in a serious tone called out the names of everyone involved, and told them to report to the principal's office.

In that office was Alison, some of her class and almost most of class 1. The principal let the class with the most people involved go in first, one by one they all went in, then all the class 2 students, the last one was Alison.

When he entered the principal's office, he was met by a mature man with black hair, black eyes and a bit of a beard and some gray hair.

Quite angry, he looked at him and said.

-How can a single person cause so much damage in the school facilities, challenging almost half of the class? The damage was not only material and physical, but what you did was to challenge a whole system created so that everyone would be in classrooms that would fit their abilities and avoid making the differences in power so visible, but you have the standard of a second year. I have your entry results here. I really don't know what to do with you. I was thinking about this incident, I should expel you and there would be no problems, but the strange thing is that several people interceded for you, however you will be suspended for 2 weeks, you will also have to pay a fine, and you will have to do community service.

The director showed him the amount to be paid for the damages caused in the event hall, which would also have to be paid by the other people involved and wrote down what happened in his file.

-You can leave now and from today you will have to do community service," said the director.

[...]

The room was a little empty, about 8 people were missing, among them Alison. Everyone said that the most likely thing was that he had been expelled, the representative Saul spoke.

-A group of us should go and ask the director not to expel him.

Well, he is one of the best freshman. The school actually participates in those games, and him being expelled will not be convenient for the next few years.

Those words convinced a few people, so five of us went. Among them Liz, Saul and Luan. As they headed to the director's office, they noticed that the door was open and they decided to go in. The man was serious and looked at them.

-If they came for Alison, he wasn't expelled, just suspended for 2 weeks," he said.

Everyone was surprised, he just looked at us, and already knew what classroom we were from, and why we were there.

-Two weeks was too long, and worse being at the beginning of school," said Saul.

-It was either that or be expelled," said Saul.

They could not tell him anything else, he had already been clear and with his look he would tell them.

- They were not the only ones who asked not to be expelled," he added before they left.

They decided to leave when they saw that there was not much they could do. They all headed to the cafeteria and were met with the notifications of the suspensions and just as the principal said. Alison had been suspended for 2 weeks.

Everyone was muttering things and the group from class 1 that went to help him decided to go back to class, Saul and the rest started planning how to teach Alison what they saw.

Luan, being the closest to Alison, went to look for him near the gardens where I was told he might be.

And he saw him in a gardener's suit, he looked a little strange.

- What are you doing here Luan," he said, noticing that he was there.

-I just came to talk to you and explain what the salon will do to help you.

-Don't worry about me," he replied.

-Ok," he said.

He saw the right time to ask her why she had been helping me.

-Alison, tell me why you are helping me.

He was serious, and he put his hand on his head, it was unusual, it was as if he doubted that what he was going to tell her was true.

-Well, I know you have a system and I try to avoid being discovered.

Luan became serious when he heard that.

-How do you know?

-Sometimes you stare in front of you too much.

-Wait, do I show it a lot?

In the middle of their talk, Alison momentarily avoided looking at him.

-I understand, I'm reckless," I replied quickly when I saw that he stopped paying attention to me.

All of a sudden he threw Luan to another place and jumped to the other side.

We were both on the ground.

-Hey... Alison, what's wrong?

He didn't answer her and I saw on his arm a cut.

She got up quickly and grabbed his arm, Luan understood what was happening.

-What's wrong, he asked again.

The white-haired boy looked back and saw three people wearing uniforms from another school.

There he understood that something had been thrown at them and Alison avoided being hurt.
