Overcoming the systems

Secrets

Three students took Alison to the infirmary, this time they were Lucia, Liz and Luan.

There was a nurse with black hair, brown skin and yellow eyes, round face who attended him.

-Don't worry, he is fine, he will wake up in a while," she told them.

When everyone had left, the woman waited patiently for Alison to wake up, she seemed anxious about something.

The boy woke up, a few minutes later, somewhat groggy and with a pain in his abdomen. He was lying on one of the beds. The nurse noticed the boy's movements and sat down next to him.

-I don't know how you managed to get into this school. You have too many scars on your chest and back, what happened to you?

Alison answered, sighed and replied.

-It was in a training session, I got hit by an electrical wire and burned a little bit.

-Mmmm, ok ...Your teammates would be terrified, please avoid that at all costs.

-Okay, I'll try.

-Here is a cream to reduce the pain that you will have for a few days.

The nurse gave it to him in his hand and he was wearing a white coat. On the computer screen she had Alison's medical records and another copy in her hand, and she wrote down several things regarding him.

-The best thing is that you avoid being with the group, it is worrying to see those cuts on a person, even if they are almost healed," she added.

-I will try to prevent that from happening, don't worry.

Alison got up from the bed and left the room.

With some concern, the nurse sat in her chair to think about what was going on, while Alison left the room. She didn't know whether to report this to the school or keep quiet about what had happened.

[...]

The teacher was with a bandage on his head, some people were laughing at what was happening. He was serious and when Alison arrived he simply limited himself to teaching us certain things, and not to continue with physical shocks.

He decided not to talk about what had happened and just went on with his class.

Shortly after the class was over and the whole room surrounded Alison and congratulated him, but he was indifferent to it. He didn't seem to like it very much. They all decided to walk to their classroom and there they found a surprise, their class director was there. It was that guy with slicked back hair, full of gel and glasses.

-Good young people. Today you will have to be up to date with your obligations. Today you will have to decide who will be the class representative.

Alison at once looked at the door and made it clear that she would not participate in this and left the room, no one of her classmates made any comment about it, as it seemed that she did not like to be in a group, and for days she had shown it.

Without having asked for it, five people came out and volunteered for this occasion. 

The teacher decided to choose the right student for the job. Without taking into account the opinion of the others. 

-Saul, I think you are the best person for the job.

He took two steps forward. He had blond hair and purple eyes and did not appear to be very strong. The room was somewhat satisfied, and the professor, with nothing more to say, sent us to rest. 

-Well, that's all it was, the rest of the day was free.

When Luan was on his way to his dormitory, Liz approached him.

-Hi, can I come with you to talk to Alison?

-Eh....si," she replied.

At that moment, the white-haired boy thought it was a confession they were going to make to his partner, so he nervously opened the door.

They both opened the bedroom door, but he wasn't there, so Liz lay down on the unoccupied bed.

-Do you feel nervous about us being alone in here?

-Eh.... no," he replied.

In a way he was right, I didn't understand what was going on and I didn't know how to react.

She took out her cell phone and ignored him all the time, it was a relief for the boy who tried to avoid her too. Besides, there was an atmosphere of discomfort between the two of them. Luan wanted to take off his clothes but she was there, waiting for what he would do. Suddenly she saw a system alert. He could not ignore it. 

He had to do something urgent in less than twenty minutes or he would be punished. Faced with this threat, he had no choice but to get out of bed and look at his cell phone. He knew that his partner was not coming, he was obliged to leave, but luckily. Someone opened the door from outside and entered the room as if nothing had happened. That person was Alison.

-Hi," Liz said when she saw him.

-What is she doing here," he asked.

-She came to look for you, but since you weren't here, she stayed here.

Liz immediately approached him and said something in his ear.

Luan took advantage of the situation and left the place immediately, but said goodbye to them.

-Don't worry, you can talk, I'll leave the room, you can chat in peace.

[...]

The two students remained in the room.

Liz quickly approached Alison, and sat down on the bed.

-What did you think of the school?

-Ah.... A prison...we can't get out of here. Tell me, why are you interested in Luan? Why did you make a group with him?

-He doesn't interest me, but you do. I know you have a system, that's why you are level 3 and you were in the first places because of that.

When Alison was discovered, she had no choice but to ask.

-How do you know that?

-I suspected it, but I see it's all true.

The crimson-eyed boy touched his head at such recklessness. He had told a girl everything and he had to get rid of her, but first try to find out more about his companion.

-Interesting Why are you here?

-Well, I'm looking for someone like you. I was once in that place where they have meetings with their system to get better physically and do things they can't do here. Basically that weird dimension.

-Did you have a system?

-No, but I got trapped in a person's training area, out of curiosity I went into a portal and stayed there for three years.

-Three years?

-Yes... there I learned the functioning of the systems, and I lived thanks to the food that is in some sections of the system where you can train, but as I was only an intruder I had to wait for them to choose another person. Since the previous one died.

Alison was astonished to hear that girl, she didn't know what to say to him. I just tried to stay calm and keep asking her.

-Ok... So what do I have to do there?

-While I was in that place. My waterbearer who took care of me so much got sick of my heart because of my absence, but I remember that I saw an item that cures any illness. I need it, I will do anything for it. How to help you in the nationals.

-Why don't you tell that to Luan? He has one too.

Liz's eyes widened and I answered her partner.

-I didn't know he had one too, what a surprise, well, now I better have more chances to get that item.

Alison wasn't sure if she was helping that girl, I didn't trust her, but her knowledge was too interesting. He had not explored all the sections because of the dangers he could find there, but he felt curious to learn more about the system. Besides, he needed someone to keep an eye on Luan so that he would not be discovered.

-All right, but if we get that item you will have to stay until the end of high school. I am obliged to obey these old creeps. What you know can help me a lot. That's all...

-Okay, that's enough, but there's something you should know. Someone from second year, called Adrian, started to say things to Lucia, that same red haired girl who stands out for her power just like you you should be careful, she can find you out and she will denounce you, her parents are military. So use that stupid casanova instinct and make her stop investigating you or join your stupid harem. Like the twenty stupid girls behind you.

-Don't talk to me about that...I don't want to remember that problem, I hate that nickname, I'm not interested in women. Maybe you are just an absurd effect of the system. I just want to be free again and nobody orders me around, but tell me when did that happen?

-A few days ago, so try to get along with her, and gain her trust, now that we are teammates.

-Liz, do you trust me that much, I could be mean and do something to you. 

-Don't make me laugh Alison.... I know who your dad is and if anything happens to me everyone will know who you are. I already took several measures...There are microphones everywhere, I recorded everything, I learned a lot where I was.....

The boy with crimson eyes was a little surprised by what that blue-haired girl, he did not know whether to trust or not, but he had no choice, she had discovered him, and he did not know what to do against her. It was a complicated situation.

-All right, I accept your proposal," he mumbled as he listened to her.

[...]

Luan walked through the corridors of the dormitory. He was a bit saddened by the situation he experienced. He confirmed with that that if partner was a casanova, he couldn't believe that his cousin was also in love with his partner.

The corridors of this place had a nice design, with soft colors. Some kind of decorations with flowers and pictures.

He went down to the second floor. There he noticed that it was designed in a harmonious way, a little away from the other blocks, it was separated by a fountain and there were small statues with two birds. He noticed that the group of friends had already formed quickly, in each classroom, and he met them.

A few students still wearing their uniforms passed by him, emulating superiority, the boy concluded that they were the first class, and that was why they were behaving that way. Since no one had treated him that way since he arrived. He ignored us and headed for the cafeteria, but one of them stopped and spoke to him.

-Are you from the second classroom?

Luan turned his face and answered.

-Yes, why?

-Do you know Alison?

-Yes.

-Tell her to move to room one, it's the best and not to hang out with the inferiors, together we'll be the best in the states and .....

-I'm sorry, Alison is very reserved, and he doesn't like to draw attention to himself, he prefers to be alone," Luan interrupted.

-Boy, I know what a scumbag you are, your Ce is 80, I was there when you took the test, keep your head down. I asked you to talk to him, not to answer for him, understand.

The four students in the first room approached Luan and cornered him.

-I'm sorry, I'll tell him, I'm leaving," said the boy who tried to calm the atmosphere.

However, one of them grabbed him by the shirt.

-The boy said, "Kid, have more respect for your superiors, even if we are first years, we are superior to you. Keep your head down when you see us.

Four students surrounded him, and prevented him from leaving. Luan felt trapped in the typical school bullying, but to his luck, someone was passing by.

-Freshmen What are you doing?

By his pose he would be, and his badge on his chest as one of the school representatives. Everyone realized that he was the president of the school's student council, Snaider Fernandez.

-Eh....nada just greet him," said one of them.

-He's my cousin, don't bother him, you understand." ......

They did not respond, and left as fast as they could. They were afraid of the serious way he looked at them.

Luan saw that they all left and decided to talk to him.

-Why did you help me?

-I know you are Hana's cousin, I wasn't going to let them bother you, at least this way they won't stress you for a while.

-Thank you. I have to go.

-Wait, how's Alison doing? -Wait, how's Alison doing?

-Ah.... she's getting a little better, the swelling in her arms has gone down.

Luan started to think, how did Snaider know what happened? He didn't want to ask her more, but he spoke first.

-Be careful, because you are a freshman, you are easy prey for the upperclassmen who love to tease you. Don't draw too much attention to yourself.

-Okay, I'll keep that in mind," he replied.
