Everyone Else Has a System

Adara just looks at me with a dumbfounded expression before muttering,"that… is about the skill you used when you entered my office yesterday. Where did you learn that?"

'From you,' is what I wanted to say, but it would have been awkward and raised a lot of questions, so I just said,"Well, my teacher taught me that. Why do you ask?"

Hearing my words, her eyes widen a little before she speaks in a cheerful voice,"really. Do you know where he is?" though I just sighed before speaking,"my teacher is dead. Has been for quite a long time and it's a 'she', not he."

This makes her blank for a moment before she processes my full sentence and relaxes a little and speaks,"ah! So it's a different person, huh?"

I close my eyes for a few moments as I try to recall if there was any teacher that Adara had. Elle didn't tell me about it, nor I had heard about it from Adara herself. Isn't that interesting… hmmm…

"What is your teacher's name?" I asked with a curious mind and she looked at me before smiling and changing the topic as she said,"what are you going to do next, now?"

I observed her smile and sighed before looking at the battle going on around me as I said,"Well, I have some plans for the future which I will commence starting tomorrow."

She made a bit of a curious expression as she asked,"what plans?"

I turn at her and smile a little before speaking,"what are you going to do next, now?"

Hearing my question, she chuckles before speaking,"I will be continuing watching over the matches for now, though hopefully I won't be needed here."

I nodded before moving closer to her and then gazing at her mesmerising face before I sighed and then spoke,"want to spar with me later on?"

She looked at me and spoke,"sure," in a nonchalant manner before focusing on the matches and I then saw her slowly moving towards the referees before turning and speaking,"but we will fight after the matches are over."

I nodded at her and then stayed around to watch a couple of matches as well. I saw Lucy performing her best and easily winning most of the matches. Michael was the same and so were the others. All the top 10 were winning without much effort and surprisingly, not one of the top 10 had fought with another.

After watching for a few more minutes, I got bored and saw Adara still observing the matches with a careful and serious expression.

After a few more minutes, I saw another girl entering the place and moving closer to Adara. She was wearing a similar uniform as that of Adara and examining the way she was behaving made me think a little before I realised who she was.

'Hera Backmeth,' I thought as I observed her… the Vice President of the Student Council. However… isn't she can't be seen or something? Why is she here?

I was confused but as soon as I thought that, I saw her turning towards me and making a bit of a shocked expression before she moved one step at a time, reaching close to me and spoke up in disbelief,"you can see me?"

I just blankly looked at her before nodding at her and she pondered a little before scanning through her System as she spoke,"but the Charm Magic is working properly."

Her face was filled with confusion as she observed my face and I analysed her's.

Hera Backmath, the blue-haired girl who has a really complex personality and removes any obstacle that hinders her plans even from a faraway distance. Her blue hair reaches her chin, and she wears round glasses with a black tattoo on her left eye.

Her height was almost an inch above mine, measuring about 5 ft 8 in and her heterochromic eyes, one red and one green, gives her a very peculiar look. After a few seconds

-Slash

I see her almost slashing my neck, but I catch her sword. She was serious about killing me right here right now and if I hadn't stopped her, I would have been dead by now.

"You are strong… but you have such low mana. How?" Even though she was questioning that, there was no surprise in her eyes. I let her sword go, and she pulls it back and sheaths it carefully and swiftly.

"Well, if you are that strong. I guess you get to keep your life," she says before moving away from there. I just kept gazing at her for the next few moments as the only thing that I could think of was,"Crazy!"

"So you can survive her attacks, huh? You must be crazy fast," spoke Adara as she moved towards me and I turned at her with a questioning look. She chuckles a little before speaking,"Her attacks are the fastest attack anyone can produce in this academy, presently. Also, if you see her and if you can dodge it even once, you get to live, otherwise, you die. Simple as that."

"Wouldn't 99% of the Academy be dead already?" I asked, and she nodded before speaking,"that is true, but there is a charm placed on her by the Principal herself. Nobody can see her unless Hera herself permits a person to see her. Though you seem a bit special to see through that charm without really getting permission from Hera."

'So that is why nobody had seen her, huh? Still, that doesn't explain why she would kill anyone who sees her,' I thought and reading my mind Adara speaks,"well, even I have no idea why she would do that. I was one of the few people that had successively dodged her attacks… in fact, you can say that to become the Student Council's President, I had been given the task to dodge her."

"Sounds like a pretty 'hard' task," I thought as I recalled the slash Hera had made before. She was fast alright, but her slash and the timing and everything else were easily predictable. As long as you can read her body language, anyone can not only block that attack but also use it against her.

"You make it sound like it's too easy," Adara spoke as she looked into my eyes and I turned to her with a curious mind as I asked,"how hard was it for you on a scale of 1 to 10?" and the answer I got was,"ummm about 8?"

Hmmm… well, let's just say that she improved after continuously sparring with Elle in the previous timeline where she was strong enough to defeat my previous self because if this 'attack' was that hard for her, then I think I might have been over estimating her.

'Doesn't change the fact that I am going to help her become stronger anyway,' I thought as I observed her before speaking,"Hey so, the matches are almost over, so how about we spar now?"

'It would be much better to see her complete ability and see how much skill she possesses before I can begin her training, I guess,' I thought before she nodded and spoke,"sure, where do you want to fight?"

Thinking about that, I had one place in my mind.

30 minutes later…

"Hey, so we will be using this place to have a short spar. Is that fine?" I asked as I looked at the glaring expression of young Amelia and Adara was looking around with a confused expression, as she wanted to know where she was.

Despite being at the Academy, she had never been to this place, and it really piqued her curiosity to see that such a place existed in the Academy. Adara's eyes landed on Amelia and she could sense that Amelia was really really strong…

"Hey… who is she? Is she your mentor?" Adara asks, and I answer,"she is the Principal's real form."

Hearing my words, Amelia glares at me while Adara makes a dumbfounded face before she bows to her immediately.

"Why did you bring her here?" Amelia asks, trying to maintain her composure, and I casually respond,"this is what you get for using me to manipulate Michael, Peter and Sabrina at once. In any case, as I said, we needed a place to spar, letting no one else know, and this was the only place I could think of."

Amelia looks at me before turning to Adara with a careful expression before speaking,"is she one of them? One of your army members?" and I nod before speaking,"yeah."

Adara turns confused at that before I take a few steps away from her and say,"Which weapon do you want to use during this spar?"

Adara analyses with a thoughtful gaze before choosing to go with a spear, and I nod at her before choosing the same. If I wanted to analyse as well as teach her at the same time, it would be better to use the same weapon as hers than using a different one.
