Overcoming the systems

First day of classes

The next day, Luan got ready, but his classmate Alison had already left first. On the middle bed he saw what was probably his uniform, there were four school outfits, two for classes and one for exercises. He had to get dressed quickly, as he lived in a boarding school and there was no excuse for being late, he was due in block 110, 12.

As soon as she left the dormitories, she went to the classroom area, of which there were quite a few. Any new person could get lost in a place like that, and even more so when it was a series of identical buildings. He kept quiet and looked at some blocks. Until he saw one that was closest to the one he was looking for. He headed there. He noticed that there was no one in the corridors. It was a bad sign for him, since he was probably the only one who had arrived late.

Luan kept walking until he found his classroom and entered it, but to his surprise it hadn't started yet. There were 23 students there, with him there were 24, but of the remaining seats he was one of the last in the farthest row. He had to go over there and sit down, unfortunately he had nothing to write on his first day of school. The fear of being late had made him careless. He was left wondering what to do, but out of nowhere the teacher arrived. He was a tall man, with black hair and glasses, he looked quite serious, he put his briefcase and some things on his desk. Without hesitation, he began to speak.

-Good morning to all of you. My name is Haner Cloud. I'm going to give you the grammar and science class from now on, but let's talk about the most basic things of the school. One very important point is the expeditions are done to integrate the groups and allow you to explore other places, and generate social experience for you and socialize with all kinds of people, but you should know that there will be a test before the middle of the year. Some of you will have to leave if you don't pass the test.

Everyone was puzzled, it was unexpected, they had won a place among hundreds of students, and now they had to fight again.

He looked at us quite tense and wanted to make a dynamic to change the atmosphere.

"Make groups, you will need them for my subject," he said.

Luan was scared, he had not had a very good result in high school, and he was one of the last ones left on the list, he thought for a long time. Involuntarily, his system came up on the screen and showed him the friendships he favored the most. Among them were Alison and a red-haired girl, both of whom had the highest high school entrance scores.

There he remembered that he only knew Alison, and she was the best person for him, he got up from his chair and looked next to him, a girl was looking at him. She had sky-blue hair and brown eyes. He was embarrassed to get up and talk to her, but she approached him and said the first words.

"Can we make groups?"

He thought about how to answer her properly, and ended up answering her in a common way.

"Yes," he answered.

He looked away and there was Alison with a girl with red hair, green eyes, slim, round face, a little taller than his other companion.

"Can we join you," she asked.

"Of course," replied the girl who had spoken to her a few seconds ago.

The four proceeded to introduce themselves.

"My name is Lucia," she said.

Then the other companion introduced herself.

"My name is Liz, nice to meet you"

Then followed the black-haired boy with those bangs on the left side of his black hair. He was a bit more of an introduction, he looked quite serious.

"My name is Alison Fernandez, nice to meet you, well I think you should know, I'm the brother of the school president, so we're probably the center of attention in class. Just avoid getting into trouble"

Luan felt more pressure, was what he thought at that moment, and decided to introduce himself.

"My name is Luan Olivera. Uh... I... "

Before he finished speaking, the professor spoke to give new instructions.

"Well, this is how the teams of my subject will be, no disintegrating, so they will finish at the end of the year. So go back to your seats"

After this, everyone took their seats, and he continued to explain on the board, but this time about the power levels.

"The Ce is the power levels added up with a person's physical stats. In high school, they are specially tracked as they develop, so that maybe they get to level 3, but the vast majority of people can only get to level 2 and stagnate there. Only a handful get to level 3 and some stay at level 1. At this age where they are, they will not be able to level up easily, they will have to work hard. This as the internal force that each person possesses with this they can get less tired doing an activity and endure more, also use objects giving them better resistance and their energy"

Those who are insurmountable are those who have a system, they can overcome anyone. They are a case apart that may never be eradicated from the world.

A blond-haired, light-eyed boy suddenly interrupted the professor's words.

"Then why do they hate them so much? The systems appear from one moment to the next, and no one can determine whether they want one or not. I would like one, but it's too dangerous. I don't want the police after me"

"That's because it makes them superior to the rest, and increases the gaps between levels, imagine someone level three and with catastrophic powers, the magnitude of damage they could cause is incalculable damage, the more Ce they have the more dangerous they can be. Power blinds people"

Someone level one is below 120 Ce, level two are those below 300 Ce, and level three are those above 300 Ce. The maximum got to 500, and he is a military person.

He noticed that everyone was calmer, because of the change of subject, so he wanted to give recognition to two students.

"Well, I think that's all for today, they must be thinking about what I told them. You are free for today, little by little you will see all the teachers, you can tour the facilities, and ah... I must give recognition to two students who were had one of the best results to enter the school. Lucia Claude, and Alison Fernandez"

At that moment, Luan fell silent. He had done poorly in high school, he was not the worst, but he felt less than the two of them, and he knew he should try to go unnoticed, but his system was not going to leave him alone. At that moment she asked him to do an activity that he had delayed, he was supposed to exercise for an hour, but he tried to ignore it. While he was thinking, time was running out, and would receive a punishment in half an hour.

He didn't know what was discussed at the time, but I got caught up in his own thoughts, what to do with his life. His system had forced him to do things he wasn't used to. He didn't want to be a hindrance to them, and so little did he understand why he was in the second grade, and how he had fallen into it, it was strange, he should be in the last ones, he got so carried away by the excitement of being in this school, that he missed so many things.

When he came to his senses. The class was over, he waited for everyone to leave the classroom, and he met Alison, apparently he was waiting for him at the door.

-I'll help you get better, follow me.

(How did he know that) he wondered internally, and became annoyed.

-I don't need your pity," he replied, and walked quickly away from him.

-Luan, would you rather leave and go through the embarrassment of being asked to leave? That's what everyone expects from the level 1s in this school. But you have the two best sophomores as your classmates, yet you'd rather quit like a coward?

Powerless at his words, she clenched her fists in her hand and decided to follow him.

[...]

They arrived at a coliseum, Alison sent him to run about 10 laps, with a hand signal, in spite of the heat of the hour.

Luan began to run without stopping, but at least he saw it as part of the activity he had to do, but he was defeated by the inclement weather, he could only do 5 laps. The time it took was almost forty minutes, but he could not take it anymore, and he lay down on the floor four meters away from Alison.

The crimson-eyed boy looked serious and expressionless.

*Let's see how fast you are"

The white-haired boy tried to get up and regain his composure a little. He wasn't sure if that counted as exercise, but he tried to attack him, but he quickly dodged it like it was nothing, he understood why he was the best in the room, he kept trying to attack him, but he reacted so fast and counterattacked him in the blink of an eye with a blow to the waist. He was already on the floor, Alison shook his hand and said to me.

"If you want to rest for a moment"

"No, let's go on," he said, a little agitated.

Luan saw in one of the announcements that the exercise time had been increased by two minutes.

[...]

The time passed quickly, and it was already six o'clock in the evening, he had already completed his activity, but they both had their uniforms on and were sweating. They headed for the dormitories. Luan was very tired, but Alison didn't seem to have felt anything, she looked the same.

"We'll keep practicing every night," commented the black-haired boy.

Luan began to feel some curiosity towards him, a question came to his mind, who was he, why was he helping him? As tired as he was, he could only go to take a bath and wash off all the sweat he had on his body.

[...]

Two hours of intense training went by. Luan's arms were shaking from so much effort. It was impossible for Alison not to notice.

He looked at him when I was going to the bathroom and spoke to him.

"Luan, "What's wrong with you? Why are your hands shaking?"

"Ah.... This is nothing..... "

He got up from his bed and approached Luan.

"Your arm is bruised, come on, I have something to reduce the swelling"

She couldn't refuse and followed him.

He gave her some cream, but he touched the place that was swollen, and he sensed what was possibly happening.

He sat on his bed and had to tell her.

"I think you know...I don't feel pain"

At first, he was speechless when he heard that, he didn't know what to tell her. With the system it would be hard to live, as every day asked more effort from them and Luan didn't have a limit. He was a little worried that he had really hurt him, so he looked at him calmly to answer.

"Ok, I think we should stop training for a few days"

The white-haired boy was surprised that he didn't care about what was happening to me.

"But, it's bad if I don't feel anything, I could die".

"Well, you didn't think so when we trained, and you didn't take considerable hits either"

"You look calm, as if ....."

"Luan, the school has good equipment to cure blows, besides it is affiliated to a good hospital, if I see that you are bad, I will help you..... "

"Hospitals can't cure all kinds of diseases".

"But, most injuries can"

"Alison, I had an accident a few years ago, that's why I'm like this, and I have this level"

He was silent for a moment, and then he answered me calmly.

"Tomorrow we'll talk about this, just rest, and put the cream on, you'll see that you'll wake up better.

"But, this..."

"Luan, we are partners, I can help you, just rest. Ah.... I was forgetting, did you ask Liz to group with you, or she asked you?"

"Yes, she talked to me, why?"

"No, she just caught my attention a little bit. Well, that" was it.

[...]

Soon after, Alison went to the bathroom and took off his trademark gloves. And splashed water on her face, trying to think about what was going on.

In her mind she debated her partner's condition which was quite peculiar<

His questions were still unanswered. Tal just dried his face with a towel and looked at himself in the mirror rather thoughtfully.

"That girl Liz, why among so many students did she notice Luan? She's quite strange, I'll deal with her later. Maybe she knows something. I'll do everything I can to keep my freedom"
