G. Chapter 31
I asked her," You need another person. Do you have anyone in your mind?"
You need a minimum of three members to form a team and take tasks. Now we need another person.
She nodded," I have a person who can help me."
"Okay then.", I said.
She stared at me and asked," You were my classmate before. So how did you become my junior now?"
I laughed awkwardly and replied truthfully," Well I failed in my maths. Twice. So I had to retake my school exams."
Hey I got over it. I saw many others like me. Now I am not even ashamed to speak about this matter.
"Oh" she just said that and continued," Send me your student ID number. I have to add you to the task."
I sent her my ID number. After confirming the request I was added to the task.
She nodded and swiped on her watch, "here's the link about the task."
I gave a quick look and closed my watch projection.
" Let's meet at the teleport point outside the task building tomorrow. Be there before ten thirty.", She said and turned to leave.
"Byebye", I slightly waved at her.
"Hey, do you like my friend?", the reception lady asked suddenly.
"Haa? What?",I was taken back with her sudden question.
" Come on, you are trying to look good in front of her. I can clearly see that. And when I first saw you half an hour ago, half of your face was covered with your long messy hair. Now look at you. You are handsome and good looking. But here's some advice for you." She sounded extremely serious," I don't know if she will like you. But please don't force her if she doesn't like you."
"O.. Okay. I won't.", I said as she stared at me.
She sighed and said," Actually I wouldn't have left the team at the last moment. A chance to join the main team is a big thing. The lives of my sister and mine can change and improve with all the support and benefits from being part of the main team. So we have to leave Asi. But it doesn't mean we won't look after her."
Yeah, yeah great sisterhood.
She patted on my shoulder," You need to know she is sensitive. So behave properly when you are with her. Don't hurt her. My sister and I won't be merciful if she is hurt."
Oh! She is sensitive. Wait, she is sensitive? Last time I remember she is narcissistic and not good with her words! That's the reason I hesitated to approach her in the first place. Now this lady is saying something different !
I nodded at the reception lady and left the building.

After an hour I reached my room. I cleaned the room and the mess created by Emy. I think she doesn't like this room or she isn't comfortable with moving to a different place.
Placing Emy on my chest I slept. Remembering the reception lady's words, I felt curious about this new Asi who is different from my memories.
"System", I called in my mind.
[ Yes, Host.]
"Get me every file and information on Asi", I ordered.
[ Yes, Host.]
[ Retrieving data on Asi…]
[ Retrieved information.]
[ ‹Asi› ]
Haagh.. this system is the best thing that ever happened to me. I can hack, no.. system can hack anything in the universe.
Once when I tried to hack into a streaming website with the system's help it showed me a whole new world. System hacked it's way into the streaming website. That intrigued me. It didn't take minutes for the system to hack several other websites under my command. I gave the system a week. Now the whole internet is accessible with my system. The Human Race, the Beast Race and the Demon Race, I can get every information stored online without any hindrances.
But in the end I only turned the system into a music player. Music without restrictions and advertisement. That's neat.
This is the first time I am using the system to look into someone. She is special I should say. Well I get more detailed information from here on a person than from the information function in the system.
I looked at hundreds of pieces of information on Asi. After skipping repeated information, I understood why Asi is different now.
I suddenly feel bad.
Asi is from a well reputed family in the capital city on Cyan Ripple Planet. She is a great beauty. Yeah, she was too cute when we were kids. At thirteen she's already developing into an attractive girl. And combined she's narcissistic. That killed my mood to approach her. At first I used to ignore her. But that smile of hers. The most beautiful. It was addicting looking at her smile. I was young. I developed a crush on her. Then it was revealed she had Divine Grade Magic Vessels. It's an addition for her narcissism. She got an opportunity to study at a special school for mages. She transferred to that school.
But she had a dark moment in her life. Everything changed on that night of nightmare. A gang kidnapped her and tried to violate her. She was saved in time. But she wasn't saved mentally. What she answered to the psychiatrist said how mentally scarred she was. During those moments when she was about to be violated how helpless she felt pleading and crying. How hopeless she felt trying to grip onto empty air to save herself.
That was a huge emotional ride for her. Her confidence was hit hard. She gave up. To protect herself from losing her honour she tried to explode the magic energy in her body to die. Hopeless. She wasn't even given the chance to explode the magic energy.
She was saved in the end. Before she was damaged beyond repair. On that night she was physically and mentally injured. Her arms were broken, fractured and jaws dislocated. One of the assaulter's nails dug into her skin above her right breast while he was tearing her dress. On that dark night she lost her confidence and hope. The shadows of the world left mental scars in her heart.
Reading all that information made me upset. It made my guts clenched. I tried to fall asleep.
