Overcoming the systems

Search

After Luan was launched. No one saw him come out of the water. About eight minutes had passed and the group that was with him. Since they did not see him, they started to look for him. There was fear among the people who were in the area, especially the person who threw him in. Kevin's hands were shaking and he was quite scared. He was unable to go looking for him, as he sensed the worst.

The teachers sent alerts to the authorities to see if they could find him downstream, with the sinners in the area.

Saul called Liz, to let her know what was happening, since they had moved away from the group.

-They couldn't find Luan, they threw him out of the waterfall and he never showed up again. You are far enough away from us, maybe you can look for him over there.

-Ok," said the girl.

She was following Alison who totally ignored her. The girl ran up to him and spoke to him.

-He can't even find Luan, apparently he fell into the water and is lost.

-I see, we have to look for him, before an hour goes by.

- How? Our powers are not much help now," said the girl.

Alison decided to open her system and there she looked at the map of the city. She decided to look for the areas there. She decided to look there for the areas with the most water, but everything looked the same.

-How about talking to your virtual assistant? There's a section for that.

-It's very annoying

-But it's an emergency.

-Okay, that's fine.

The black-haired guy decided to open the section of the system and activated the virtual assistant "Casandra".

-The virtual assistant has been activated. What do you need Mr. Fernandez?

-I need to know where Luan is, he is a person with a system.

-The user Luan has the status of deceased at this moment. He is no longer a risk to the system.

Alison's face changed a little when she heard that. She got to a point where she was getting desperate, but Liz spoke to her.

-Let's just look it up.

-Can you listen to the virtual assistant? -Alison asked, a little confused.

-No, but from your expression it looks like he said something to you that affected you.

-Okay, where is Luan, virtual assistant?

-He's approaching at a speed of 1.5 meters per second. He's three minutes away from getting here," Casandra answered.

-Okay, deactivate virtual assistant.

-Access denied," replied the virtual assistant.

-What? -Why?

-The system has detected user mishandling and the presence of dangerous people. So it was decided internally to keep the system virtual until the user reaches a level that is adequate to deal with the danger.

Alison was a little upset, but there was nothing she could do. In the midst of the situation she was in, so she stood up in took off her jacket and stepped into the river, the water was past her knees. He was just waiting for Luan to pass by him.

Liz looked at him somewhat puzzled, she didn't know what he would do.

[...]

More than two minutes passed since Alison went into the water. She was just waiting for her partner to appear. Until all of a sudden he saw something coming towards him, so he prepared to stop them with his hands.

The virtual assistant sent him a notification.

The black-haired boy seeing Luan approaching grabbed him by the shoulders and prevented the current from taking him away. Liz also got into the water to help him and between the two of them they pulled him out of the water with great difficulty, since it seemed that he had a lot of water in his body.

The girl took the cell phone she had left on the floor and as best she could, she called Saul.

-Saul, we found Luan, I'll send you the address.

-We'll get there fast," he answered.

Liz approached them both and proceeded to try to revive him, pressing his chest every moment and giving him mouth to mouth, but he did not respond.

Alison, as a last option, decided to tell Liz about the rare elixir.

-Liz, I'm sorry I already found something that could help you, but I was just waiting for you to keep your promise.

-I see, don't worry, it's more important to save him. Those things come out all the time in the dungeons.

Alison stood up and looked at her system. She looked for the item she had and pulled one of them out, but the virtual assistant spoke.

-Item removal detected, suspected attempt to give it to the deceased. Probability of being saved 20 percent if he can be resuscitated.

The black-haired boy took out the elixir and looked at it. It was some kind of small bottle with a foul-smelling black liquid in it.

Liz continued to give him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, but it was difficult. He wasn't even moving. She began to despair and against her will her tears were falling. Alison was a little saddened that he was already presumed dead. Until the virtual assistant sent another warning.

-The probability of being saved is reduced to eight percent.

Alison was totally annoyed and decided to do something else.

-Is it possible to use electrical power here, virtual assistant?

-Yes, but the user runs the risk of getting sick when exceeding the power and health level in a week.

-Never mind, give it to me.

Liz listened to him and got up from there.

-What are you going to do?

-There's no other way to revive him, he's already as pale as a sheet.

The system gave him the ability to have electric power and he used it on Luan. The electricity started to affect that boy until his body started to move a little, but he started to burn. The sky started to get a little dark. Until the boy stopped, ran out of energy and fell to the ground on his knees.

Liz saw that there was movement in Luan's body. She took the elixir and gave it to him in his mouth, to heal him, since the electric energy had burned part of his body.

Meanwhile, a little far from there, a group of people were approaching. Snaider, Hana, Lucia, the teacher and three paramedics. They thought the worst because he was in the water for a long time.

Hana was about to cry, she did not believe what was happening, her cousin was dead. Snaider was holding her shoulder.

Even the paramedics saw this as a waste of the boy's time and considered him deceased.

From where they stood they only saw one deceased and two companions who did not believe what was happening. Until suddenly they noticed a slight movement of the deceased.

Luan woke up and saw Liz in front of him. The girl moved a little away from Luan, seeing the position they were both in.

- What happened? Why are we here? Are you crying? You look sad - said the white-haired boy, somewhat dazed, and with a lost look.

Alison was shirtless, showing that internal burn scar. Which everyone saw as soon as they approached them.

Liz put him down and stroked him a little when she saw that he had woken up.

-I'm glad you're okay," she said.

Hana arrived before everyone else and approached them, and touched her cousin's hands.

Liz when she felt the presence of everyone looked away from them and turned her back to them, she was a little embarrassed.

Lucia arrived at Alison's side, and took off a shirt she was wearing, and put it on the boy, who was exhausted. She wanted to prevent more people from seeing the scars on her body, leaving her bathing suit uncovered.

- Are you all right? -she asked.

-Yes," he answered.

Almost simultaneously, Luan just regained consciousness, while his cousin tried to talk to him.

- What do you feel, do you remember me?

The somewhat surprised paramedics spoke.

-Please leave, we are going to check him and take him to a hospital.

Liz and Hana moved away from Luan so that the paramedics could take care of him. While that was happening Snaider looked at his brother.

-Please, Alison, look at me.

-President Snaider, please, your brother is tired," commented Lucia.

-Don't intervene, please, this only concerns the two of us.

-It's okay Lucia, don't worry," Alison said.

[...]

Both siblings moved away from the rest of the people, to prevent them from overhearing their conversation.

When they arrived to a place quite far away, they proceeded to talk.

-Tell me, where did you get those burns?

Alison was silent, and did not answer.

-I know we're not blood brothers, and we were never close, but all this time, you had that on your body, what's wrong with you? Say something.

-As you know, he adopted me as well as you, but I have preferred to avoid showing you this, so as not to have this conversation with you. I can only tell you that it is a scar from the war.

-There is something that puzzles me, why did you come all this way? Did you know something like this was going to happen?

-No, it was just a conscience.

Snaider didn't even know what to say to him, he looked so tired that he couldn't ask him anything else, he just told him what he thought.

-You know, I don't have the slightest idea how to explain this to the teacher and your classmate. In spite of everything you saved not only your friend but me and the teacher who helped me organize this outing, you have no idea how bad he was, that teacher Sahara asked to go with us, because of him," commented Snaider.

-Intending.... Goodbye.

- What will you tell the teacher and Hana," asked Snaider?

-I'll see what to do.

Alison walked slowly and headed toward the group of people to return to the dormitory. He no longer had the strength to walk. He had lost almost all his energy in that skill that nearly charred his partner's body.

Alison left the place where she was talking to her brother and headed towards some group at school.

Some joyful faces could be seen, after they were informed that the boy had turned up and was alive.

Kevin, the classmate who had thrown Luan, was catching his breath with support from his group of friends.

Liz and Lucia turned to Alison.

-You look tired, let's go," said Lucia.

He nodded and Hana walked over.

-We can talk.

-Vice President, please, he is tired right now, leave this for another day," said Liz.

-Okay, see you tomorrow at Paradise Park," she replied.

Liz and Lucia helped Alison walk to one of the school buses. The black-haired boy couldn't even take a step without staggering so he leaned on the girl's shoulder. At that moment his virtual assistant spoke to him.

Alison ignored that and just tried to get to the boarding school with the help of her friends.
