It was almost the last lesson of the day and once it was over, Albert would finally go home, today Albert had something stuck on his mind, and the thing on his mind was something that his classmate Quast had said, for some reason Albert couldn't forget it, and was thinking about it the entire day.
"Can you see something infront of Jerry?" Albert whispered to himself "What could that mean?" he thought "And why did they leave school so early after Quast said that." he also thought, Albert's curiosity was nagging at him, Albert was one that found the world boring, he wanted something supernatural to happen, something out of this world to appear, he read a lot of fantasy books and he listened to horror stories where some paranormal creature follows the protagonist, he thought about how if an other-worldy monster did exist, then maybe other other-worldly things might exist, and the things that Quast had said seemed to be suggesting something, so Albert decided to investigate further, he decided to follow them tomorrow after school.
The weights collided with each other and produced a loud sound as Jerry stared at the appliance's handle wide mouthed, he turned towards Quast and said "I just lifted that 45 kilo and it felt like I was lifting the 35 kilo one before I added the points into strength." he looked at the palms of his hands "So this is the true worth of attribute points."
Meanwhile Quast was sitting there also in shock, he had seen Jerry struggle with the 45 kilogram weights and now it seemed like he wasn't struggling at all. "I think we have to take this power more seriously, did you see what you just did? If that was only 3 points into strength then imagine a 1000, and I am almost sure that points stack, so they don't go the same increments." Quast said blankly, but a smile was forming on his face.
Jerry was also smiling a smile of surprise, the kind of blank smile after something unbelievably good just happened.
The geography teacher walked into class and put his bags on the teacher's desk, the teacher turned around and set up the world map onto the wall, and was getting ready for the lesson to begin, but Albert wasn't taking his Geography things out, he was still engrossed into thinking about the question that Quast had asked him. A question, a single question made him think so much, normally this wasn't the case, but for some reason the Albert couldn't help it. The teacher noticed this and told him to get his school materials out, Albert looked at the teacher and bent down to his backpack and took his school stuff out.
Jerry and Quast were still standing still looking at each other when Jerry got a notification on his phone, it was from his mom and it said that he should go defrost the chicken, because his mom was making chicken curry, Jerry glanced over at the time and his eyes landed on the time, it was 1:00PM.
Jerry sighed and looked at Quast "Even though this may be able to change the world, let's keep it a secret for as long as we can, also I think this is all for today, I'm going to add my remaining 3 points into agility and dexterity, 2 in dexterity and 1 in agility." Jerry said as he thought of adding 2 points to dexterity and it went up to 10, after that he thought of adding 1 point to agility and it went up to 8. "Alright, let's go back to my home and you can take your stuff and leave, cuz I'm pretty sure my parents will be returning very soon." Jerry said as he walked over to the crossroad and waited for the last car to pass, Quast followed behind, Jerry felt lighter now and he felt like he could move very fast, they both looked left and right a few times and crossed, after a little bit of walking they were there and after unlocking a few doors Quast had gathered his things and took his jacket off the coat rack and held it in his hands.
"Alright." Quast said. "I'll be heading off now, remember that we can always chat using the system." Quast reminded his friend. Jerry nodded and sent him off and closed the door after him and took the chicken out to defrost and went into his room to relax and rethink all the current events.
After some time of walking, Quast was now back at where his bike was, he put his headphones on and started playing his favorite music as he was riding back home and thinking about the things that had happened today, after 20 minutes of riding his bike and listening to some banger songs Quast arrived home, he took his keys out and unlocked the door leading into his home, he went in and took his shoes off and put them on the shoe shelf, he went into his room and threw his backpack on the ground, he took of his jacket and hanged it on the coat rack in his room and collapsed into the sweet grasps of his bed.
The bell rang and it signified that school was over today for Albert, he took his backpack and left the classroom as quickly as possible, he ran to his home that was unimaginably close to school, after a minute or two of running he was there and he opened the door and went in to see his parents sitting in the living room and watching a movie, they said their hellos and Albert went into his room, he put his backpack on the ground and sat on his bed, he looked up at the roof of his room, he looked at the bioluminescent stars that were glued on the ceiling ever since he was a child. Albert sighed and looked forwards, he took his phone out and decided to write a message to Quast.
"What was with that question you asked me early in the morning today? You know, the one where you asked me if I could see something in front of Jerry, what was it all about?" and he clicked the send button on his phone.
Quast was sleeping and couldn't hear his phone. He was sleeping for a few hours now when his parents came back home from work, they first called out to him, but he didn't answer, so his mom went to his room only to find him sleeping, Quast's mom sighed and searched around for a blanket and covered Quast with it, she then walked out and closed the door.
