Everyone Else Has a System

There was Annabeth with me, and then there was Lucas, and since it was these two, I did not mind telling them the plans regarding my classmates. It was all the more better because if Annabeth needed any help, Lucas could help her out at moments.

I began explaining about each and every student to Annabeth, their weaknesses, their strong points. Those who need to be helped out, those who need to be controlled and how to manipulate them.

"While you can do everything my way, you can still choose any other method to achieve what I want. In the end, I want at least half of the class to reach up to my expectations and that means, I want to become at least S-Rank by the end of the year. As for the methods, I will pass on that to you by tonight," I spoke as I observed Annabeth looking at me with a dumbfounded expression and Lucas, too, observed me with a surprised gaze.

As time will pass, things will get much more hazy and nobody knows where everyone will end up. Maybe everyone will die before the year ends or maybe all of them will become SS-Rank by the end? Nobody exactly knows.

'But at least they will be way stronger than they could ever be in their entire life,' I thought as I looked at Annabeth before asking,

"Any questions?"

She looked at me for a few moments before asking,"Well… where do I start from?"

I pondered a little before speaking,"I was going to start with Paul and Rheo but since it's you… Take in Nelson and Ross, give them a week of training. They are easy to handle and would probably listen to you. Also, Nelson will start liking Campbell soon enough, so make sure to use that as a motivation too."

She pondered about it a little and then sighed before speaking,"it's kind of hard to figure out whether you are an evil person or a really nice guy, you know?"

"True. Every time I meet you, either you are manipulating someone or doing something that is going to help humanity in the future," Lucas said as he observed me with a slight chuckle before he continued,"I need to be somewhere, how long will this take?"

"Aren't they both the same?" I asked with a slight smile before speaking,"not too long. Just need to fix the three brothers and bring them under my control. While they have potential, they are more of a ticking time bomb and that may create problem later." Lucas and Annabeth nodded together before I spoke,"Annabeth, you may leave. Leave this to Lucas and I. Also send those three inside here. You will find them in the restaurant on the opposite lane."

Annabeth nodded before leaving from there and meanwhile I turned to Lucas before speaking,"If I kill Geralt and his brothers, what are the consequences?"

Lucas turned to me for a brief moment before speaking,"if it was before Lucifer met me, I would have stopped you with all my might, but… it involves my sister and I won't lose any other of my family members anymore."

'Anymore, huh? This reminds me of 'Her'. I still have to save her,' I thought as I recalled some bitter memories from my past timeline.

"As for the current consequences… I don't think there is any. Given your connections and powers, I doubt anyone would lift even a finger if you were to do something to them and that too only after they find out who had done it," Lucas spoke as he thought about it and I nodded at his reasoning.

"Well… while that is all correct, there is one being that would kill me if I do anything to Geralt. She won't just kill me, she will obliterate anything related to me," I spoke as I saw Geralt and his two brothers coming in as they observed Lucas and Istanding together.

"Now tell me. Who did it?" Geralt spoke with an impatient and slightly furious tone as he looked at me with a dominant gaze, and I smiled before taking out an orb from my pocket.

"While I was searching for your weakness using the security cameras a few nights ago, I had to dig deeper to find out about your life and things that happened to you. And after searching for it for over an hour, luckily I found something," I said as I played the video which showed Geralt and his girlfriend walking together as a beautiful couple.

Geralt's eyes widened up as he looked at that and so did his brothers' as they kept observing it with an attentive expression. Their previous casual gaze, filled with slight mockery, was wiped out by the seriousness as they focused on the screen.

Geralt's girlfriend, Alianna, then said goodbye to Geralt as Adam, his leader at that time, called him on short notice somewhere. Alianna then began walking towards her dorm room and the camera followed her for sometime.

I fast forwarded a bit to the point where the incident happened. Soon, a man covered in black cloth came out of the shadows and began following Alianna. Alianna, noticing someone following her, turned around and stopped.

At that time, Alianna was a strong A-Ranked crossbow user, so she took out her bow and aimed at that guy as she began questioning him. An argument ensued and soon Alianna shot that guy, however, that guy easily dodged it and began moving towards Alianna.

A small fight… no, it was a one-sided struggle from Alianna's side as that guy punched Alianna, beat her down to a puld… took her in an alley, did whatever he could do to her. She could be seen screaming in the video, but perhaps because of some magic or artefact, her voice wasn't heard.

This continued for another hour or so, before that guy stood up and looked at the lifeless body of Alianna and put on his clothes. He then used a flare artefact and burned Alianna's bruised and battered body, not leaving anything behind; even her ashes were gone….
