"Let me see if I understood.", the boy was Raphael his class best friend. "You were trying to prank Caroline on this morning by telling that you want to date and she said yes."
"That's right."
"But you couldn't tell her because her parents heard and congratulated you.", the boy started laughing.
"That's it.", Leonard said. "Now. I'm currently dating Caroline.", he said ironically.
She was his first love so he wasn't that bad about it but the system would help him have another's hearts too and he wouldn't like to break her heart doing this. She was also the role model on their year for all the freshman. Dating her would be a pain in his ass but he would take it.
"So what are you planning to do?", Raphael was still laughing.
"Date her. It's not like I didn't want. It was more like would be too bothersome with her fans.", he explained.
"Wow. Like a ladykiller."
"Spoke the devil.", the support meant about Raphael's rumours.
"It's not that much nowadays."
"After been with half of the school and the other being male I can imagine.", he noted something with his words. His friend was the way to know the others heroines. "Hey, perhaps do you know any Kamille?"
"A lot actually.", he smiled. "You must mean in the school. So there are about five. Why do you ask?"
"Nothing.", he acted a little shy to control the conversation flow.
"Hoho and I thought that you were really thinking in dating Caroline."
"Different matters. So don't mix them."
"Alright, alright.", Raphael turned to the board as the teacher arrived.
For Leonard's luck wasn't miss Olivia. The firsts periods passed and he made a little research on the school. The surnames that the system gave him were from the other world to help him even more with knowing the faceless heroines. So he went to the bathroom and entered a booth to think.
He had a girlfriend. His teacher with double his age were one of his heroines. About another three that he didn't even have the face. Raphael said that would have five Nataly within the school. He checked the teachers on the site and neither of their names were there. Good for him.
"WHAT DO I DO?", he yelled.
"Have a peaceful poop, man.", a voice said on other booth. "But... can I be of help?"
"How you find someone without knowing its face?"
"Are you going on a blind date, bro?", the voice asked.
"No.", he thought a little. "I had this sensation crossing a person. How can I recognize her without knowing her face?"
"That's deep, brother. Maybe looking around the place where you felt before can do the job, don't you think? The feeling will overflow again like a river."
"Do you think?", Leonard had this in mind but the system probably wouldn't show the message again.
"My brother. This feeling must be both ways so if she don't feel it. You can move on without regret."
"Thanks.", he remembered that Heroine Affection would make the heroine notice him more and more. So what the man on the booth said was a help in a weird way.
Today he didn't have class with miss Olivia. So he went early to home and took his gym clothes out from the wardrobe. Shake it the dust off and put it on. His mom was impressed by the view. He went for a run.
"Support is the strongest class.", he was saying while running.
Them happened again.
He looked at the woman who crossed him in his run as well took note of the time and where they crossed. He kept running and the exhaustion would came eventually but then he used Minor Healing to relieve it a little. He didn't relieve all of the exhaustion but kept healing when was too much.
"Support is the strongest class."
He took more care to not cross too much woman on his run. Caroline had won but the competition was about to start. The first opponent was her role model, teacher Olivia. After her were more four, three around the same age and one that Leonard didn't take too much time to analyze her age.
He stopped on a empty playground and started doing the same he did with the run with other exercises. Push ups. Squats. Sprawls. After that he used the playground climbers to train some movements. The people that passed by tried to avoid looking at him as they thought he was crazy. Some part they were right.
"Time to go back.", he started to run again.
Shortly after he was in his home.
"What happened?", his mother asked him.
"A good wind, maybe.", he answered. "I'm going take a shower."
"Don't stay too long. Your father is coming home for a week.", she returned.
"Oh. Okay.", he left and entered on his room. "Strength, Agility and Stamina increased a little. My level is unchanged tho. Maybe leveling is better than training after all.", and he looked again. "My Intelligence raised as well?"
He went to sleep and woke up with a knocking on his door.
"It's too soon yet.", he said it.
"But I want to go with you to the school.", was Caroline through the door.
"You can enter.", his mom said opening the room. "Go on and take him off the bed.", she looked at him hiding on his blankets. "Show up to your girlfriend, Leo."
"Yeah.", his head popped out. "Hello."
"Lets go. I have business early today.", she said.
"Okay.", he sit on the bed and turned so his feet could reach the floor. "I'll change and encounter with you on the kitchen."
"Okay. Hurry, I don't like to be late."
"I know.", that was a reason to not date her and he forgot. Not being pontual but waking early.
He used a lot of Minor Healing to relieve the exhaustion and fastly changed clothes. They eat as fast as possible and left to the school. She was like a tulip. Simple and beautiful. Brown long hair ending in a ponytail and hazel eyes. The uniform was the same of everyone but combine so much with her traits that looked like she choosed to wear it.
"You left yesterday?", she asked.
"Are you talking about doing exercises?"
"Yeah."
"I think I've been wasting too much effort in nothing so I began yesterday."
"Did you crossed my cousin?"
"I don't know.", his heart raced. "What is her name?"
"Daphine.", she thought a little. "She used to take care of us. She is five years older. Don't remember?"
"Unfortunately, no.", he replied. "I'll be going to the class take a nap. Good luck on the secret business, ma'am.", he made a salute and left marching just to be hit with her bag.
"Good nap then.", she smiled and took the other way.
"Almost an hour free. Lets sleep.", he started to move into his classroom direction.
