System for you Darling!

Chapter 17 Don't lose it and don't forget it

He was the real deal! 

Frank didn't think Theodore was this strong. But from the posture and the use of fists to punch the wood stick until it breaks He could think that Theodore may be a boxer with a superior skill than Georges.

‘But no matter what, It has reached this point, I can’t back out now!’

Frank pulled the toothpicks out of his arms and legs. He turned to pick up the rusted steel pipe that was nearby. Since the wood can't do anything to Theodore but If it's steel. It might be able to do something to him.

Frank now looks like a mad man. He ran towards Theodore, wanting to hit Theodore with a steel pipe. Theodore could clearly see his movements. Theodore was able to dodge Frank who tried to hit him with a steel pipe.

Theodore countered by swatting at his arm. causing the steel pipe in his hand to fall to the ground. then grabbed his head. and knee slammed into his stomach.

“Urghhh!”

Frank was stumped. he choked out Theodore had finished kneeling on Frank's stomach. He let Frank fall to the ground. He turned to Frank's friends before speaking.

“Stop it you all, I don't want to be more violent.”

Theodore did not want to use more violence than necessary.

Frank's friends looked at each other. They didn't care what Theodore had to say. They thought their number was greater, so they could deal with Theodore, but the reality was not like that at all.

Theodore set up guard against their attacks, and he could easily deflect their attacks. Theodore made a decision and countered with straight fists, knees, and elbows at them.

Frank's friends may be members of the American football team and were physically fit. But they didn't have any real fighting abilities. They were easily led on by Theodore. who didn’t have much experience either, but he had a wealth of knowledge about fighting.

“Damn it, here we are… lost to this nerd.”

“Don't be joking around, are you really that nerd?”

They fell to the ground after being crushed by Theodore. They felt like Theodore wasn't the same person.

Theodore did not reply to them. He looked at Frank.

Frank himself now looked at Theodore. He was now lying on the floor. He wanted to get up again, but couldn't get up. Theodore just shook his head. He turned to look at Yuri before speaking.

“Let's go, otherwise we might not be able to leave when they could stand up and decide to mess with us again.”

Yuri just nodded and did as Theodore said. She followed closely behind Theodore. and did not even turn around to look at Frank.

Theodore walked her to the bus stop. and think there should be no problem He wanted to go to the bookstore and go home as soon as possible.

"Go home, I'll go first."

Theodore wanted to walk away, but Yuri grabbed his sleeve first. before speaking

“Theodore, can you uhm give me your contact number?”

Theodore tilted his head slightly. Before giving Yuri his phone number, Theodore didn't think much. He thought that Yuri would get his number in order to thank him later.

Yuri just watched Theodore walk away. She was still curious about Theodore right now. But there was a weird feeling that was added to it as well.

Theodore, who had walked away from Yuri, couldn't go very far. He was surprised. He received a notification from the system.

---------------

Yuri [Heart]

---------------

Status: Friend [50/100]

Emotion: Curious/???

---------------

"Huh"

Theodore looked at Yuri's name. The other stats were simple. But surprisingly, there's a picture of [Heart] beside her name.

“The person with a heart next to the name is now only Avina. And why does Yuri have it? It's weird, Emotion, Curious then what? There is something like this too.”

Theodore didn't care much about it. More importantly, he thought that Yuri already thought he was a friend. The system then alerted him like that.

Theodore immediately headed for the bookstore on the way home. It's four o'clock now. There was about an hour left before Avina returned home.

Theodore when he entered the bookstore He immediately went straight to the books in the entertainment category. He picked up a book on fashion. Before reading its cover page.

He found that not every book could be learned. Some books require him to have a basic knowledge of it first. such as the fashion book he was looking at He needs to have a basic knowledge of art.

Theodore had a thousand dollars with him. He could buy every book he wanted. There are books about fashion that he bought.

Theodore spent about fifty dollars on art and fashion books. He, after buying the book about the fashion book. He immediately headed to the cooking book zone. And as he was making his way to the culinary bookshelf department, He had to go through the book zone that he was particularly interested in.

Theodore stopped as he arrived at this zone. The book zone that he was particularly interested in was actually a book zone about games.

Theodore recalled the game book he had bought earlier. He learned it, and he gained knowledge of alchemy and various skills. He didn't hesitate and walked towards the bookshelf with hundreds of game-related books. He inspected them to see if he could learn them. He found that he could not learn them.

“Why is that? I can learn from the previous game books.”

Theodore tries to find a book he can learn from. The book about the game he could learn Surprisingly, it's a book about the previous game he had learned. And it was the next volume of it!

Theodore decided to buy it. The price wasn't that much. He, after picking up a book about the desired game. He continued to head to the food book zone.

Theodore almost bought the whole bookshelf of the cooking books. He wanted to be able to cook every dish in the world.

Theodore after selecting all the books He headed to the counter to pay. He, who was about to pay, heard the cashier say hello to him. Theodore was slightly surprised. He raised his head and looked at the cashier. Found that he knew this cashier.

“Hey Theodore, you bought a lot of books today.”

“Abigail?”

Theodore smiled at Abigail. He gave a slightly puzzled look before asking.

“Eh, Abigail has moved jobs?”

Abigail took the money and spoke.

“No, I work in two places.”

“Work two places. *You are really good.*"

Theodore didn't think Abigail would do two jobs like this. Abigail overheard Theodore's praise. She smiled at him before speaking.

“You would be surprised if you found out how many places I worked.”

Theodore blinked. Or does Abigail work in more than two places? Is that even possible? Abigail smiled at him. But didn’t say anything about the number of jobs she's taken. Theodore felt that she might need a lot of money to have been forced to work so much

Abigail looked at a book before speaking to Theodore.

“Hey, Theodore, you play this game too?”

Theodore looked at Abigail. She looked at Theodore with seriousness. Theodore felt strange before nodding. He now felt as though Abigail could easily see through him. Abigail with a serious expression Suddenly smiles

“So I like to play this game too. Would you like to come and play a game together?"

Theodore felt as though she hadn't intended to invite him to play the game. but rather inviting him to do something else. As he was about to reject her, The system prompted

Theodore swallowed his saliva. Death What does that mean?

Abigail noticed Theodore's expression. Now she finished the bill and told him the total amount he had to pay.

“A total of one hundred thirty dollars and forty-five cents.”

Theodore bought a lot of books. He immediately made the payment to Abigail. Before Theodore walked out of the store without replying to Abigail whether he was going to play games with her. and as he was about to walk outside the door of the bookstore His sleeve was caught first. He could feel deja vu.

“This is my number. Don't forget to call me this Sunday."

Abigail handed Theodore a piece of paper with her phone number before walking towards the cash register. As she walked to the cash register, she turned around and told him.

"Don't lose it and don't forget it."

Theodore only nodded. He quickly walked out of the store.
