Overcoming the systems

Uncontrolled

Luan returned in the evening hours to the dormitory. He noticed that Alison was sleeping and went to her bed, but his partner woke him up.

Alison sat up in bed and looked at Luan.

- What's the matter with you? You look pretty tired," asked Luan.

-It's nothing important," he commented.

-Well, you must be ahead of schedule for being absent these last two days.

Luan remained silent for several seconds and spoke to him.

-Alison, let's talk about what happened on the boat, no one can explain how they could save me, if I was in the water for so long. 

-I understand, you have doubts, but that was luck, I wasn't sure you could open your eyes either. Well, let's not keep talking, try to rest better.

He got out of bed and went to the bathroom, but Luan said a few words to him.

-Thank you Alison, I know it may have been difficult for you.

-Don't worry, you're my friend, that's what friends do.

He went on his way and entered the bathroom.

Luan, meanwhile, proceeded to fix his clothes to change after Alison came out.

Minutes later he came out, and the white-haired boy entered, but apparently he had left something on his bed, he opened the door and tried to go there, but he noticed that the whole room was dark, the moonlight was the only thing that illuminated the place. Alison was standing with her back to the window, distracted.

Luan came out and as he walked he observed his friend, looking at something. He was shirtless and had several scars on his back.

He wanted to get closer but, his mind started to think up ideas. 

The doubts made him slow down and return to the bathroom slowly, while Alison remained motionless, looking at something.

When Luan entered the bathroom again, he began to think about many things. <

Thousands of questions came to his mind. Causing him to take quite a long time to get out of the bathroom.

The next day, Luan was still thinking about what had happened yesterday.

He avoided looking Alison in the eyes, but Alison spoke to him.

-Luan, after school we will train.

-Ok," he answered rather uncomfortably. 

Luan had many doubts about who his partner was. He began to think that he was someone very strange. 

This time neither of them went to the classroom together, each one went his own way.

In the classroom, one of their teachers was waiting for them to give them some news.

Everything was in expectation, and finally they were informed what they would do.

-The school has decided to give you these last few days off from today, and please do not overexert yourselves, the test is very important," said Saul in front of everyone.

-Saul commented in front of all his classmates.

They were all free for the whole week and could train at their own pace.

In the midst of this atmosphere Luan still had those thoughts about Alison. As everyone was getting ready to leave, he wanted to talk to his friend, but he left quickly before they could talk.

Liz approached the white-haired boy to tease him.

- Are they ignoring you, what did you do to him?

-Tell me, Liz, are you and Alison having an affair," the boy commented.

She smiled at his question and answered

- If you have those doubts, why don't you ask Alison?

-You're here, and you can answer me.

-Ok, I'll be honest, I liked Alison, but not anymore, happy?

-Well, you used to hug him and get along great, why did it all change in one moment?

Liz became a little serious, and her hands were starting to shake.

Luan looked at her and abandoned the conversation, when he felt that Liz was not wanting to say anything. She didn't want to tell him anything and was just spinning around. Something serious had happened between the two of them and the girl did not want to talk about it.

He left the living room to go to the cafeteria, but there were many people lined up, and he preferred to go to the bedroom. He got a big surprise when he entered his room and felt some static that gradually disappeared, but there was no one there, so he lay down on his bed.

[...]

Luan spent the whole afternoon sleeping. Until around 6 o'clock, Alison came into the bedroom and woke him up.

- You haven't had lunch?

-No, what time is it?

-It's already six o'clock.

- Are you late?

-Get changed for training. We'll stop by the cafeteria and get you something to eat.

The boy kept looking at his partner doubtfully, but followed his orders.

He changed and they both went through the cafeteria, they were dressed in gym clothes. The two walked out of the school to a place quite far away. Luan didn't know whether to ask him about Liz, so he talked to me about something else.

- Why are we here," asked Luan.

-All the coliseums are busy and everyone is training at the school, everywhere," he answered.

That place was near a forest with a clear sky, at that hour there was no one else.

- You train here, don't you? asked Luan.

-Sometimes, because no one comes here, we'd better get started.

Luan hesitated whether to attack him or not, he knew that his answer would be the same, so he preferred to wait for him.

Alison, seeing that he did not attack her, proceeded to do it first.

With quick movements she tried to make him react.

Luan put himself in a defensive position and tried to intercept each of the blows that his partner threw at him, but he managed to hit him twice in the chest.

In this way they continued for twenty minutes. Until Luan got tired of waiting and began to attack.

For Alison, it was easy because he was already used to it, but he noticed a change in Luan, he felt that he reacted faster, although it was not with all his attacks.

Luan began to attack him, and did not manage to connect any of them. Until one moment to another in the middle of his fight against his partner he stopped and did not respond anymore. The black-haired boy didn't know it and hit him in the stomach.

I finally got one in, he thought, but Alison was on the ground.

Did I really hit her that hard? Luan wondered.

He approached his friend.

- Are you all right?

Alison was on the ground, and an electric field began to surround him intermittently.

-Go away, Luan," Alison replied.

He didn't understand what was happening, but he felt something strange around him.

-Something is happening here, I can't leave you alone.

-I am responsible for this happening here, I also have a system like you, but when I cured you I did something that overloaded the system. From that moment on it started to fail, and it activates me every second an electrical ability.

Luan, doubting what his friend was telling him, stood still.

- You'd better leave, or you'll die," Alison shouted at him.

Luan, quite scared, had to follow his friend's orders and ran as far as he could.

Alison tried to get up and calm her power, but apparently it had gotten out of control and there was nothing she could do.

In a matter of seconds a large electric field covered the whole place, and burned the trees that were closest to the boy.

Luan was a few meters away, but the electric field touched him too, and he fell to the ground immediately.

[...]

The next day, Luan woke up and next to him was Liz, both were in the bed that belonged to his Alison.

She had her head lying close to his chest. He was immediately startled and looked around.

What the fuck had happened? He wondered. He immediately remembered what his cousin had told him about Liz and Alison.

He was wearing only boxer shorts. And his partner was fully clothed.

He looked at the clock on his cell phone, and it was 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

He tried to wake Liz, but she seemed to be in a deep sleep.

He went to take a shower and noticed that her back hair was a little burned.

He didn't remember what happened before he lost consciousness.

When he got out of there he got dressed and tried to wake his Liz again, but this time, thoughts of him came back to his mind.

"Maybe I can solve my doubts if I can wake her up."

But out of the blue someone knocked on the door. 

"Knock" "Knock!"

He didn't hesitate to go, and immediately he opened it.

It was Alison, who was standing there watching him.

He touched him on the chest.

-You seem to be all right now. 

-What happened yesterday? Why is Liz here?

Alison closed the door. She walked over to Liz's side and began to talk.

-Yesterday, something happened that I didn't expect, and you got hurt, Liz and I brought you here.

- So you're someone with a system too? Why didn't you tell me!

-I never thought of telling you, it wasn't necessary, but things happened like this. Now my system is failing and girls hate me. I had a harem ability, now even Liz avoids me. She only helped me because you were the affected person.

-And how did you cure me?

-There was more than half of the elixir we gave you. When we cured you in the river she didn't give you all of it.

-And why are we in your bed?

-She had to watch over you and make sure you were healing, we couldn't go to a hospital and I couldn't be here.

Luan was just processing everything he was hearing. He still couldn't believe that in all this time his partner had a system and didn't tell him anything.
