As soon as the stats got unlocked after equipping the Student job, Alcor felt a wave of energy permeating every cell of his body, bringing forth a mystical and transformative change.
'Ah, that feels so nostalgic and good. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have the system and the job function in my reincarnations.' Alcor thought.
He could feel the newly awakened vitality stat already contributing to his recovery. He also felt a slight improvement in his strength, movement speed, thinking speed, comprehension ability, etc.
'System display the new stats.' Alcor said as he wanted to see the new changes in his status.

'Oh ya, now that is more like it.' Alcor smiled. He then suddenly noticed the talent tab in his status.
'I had almost forgotten about this. Every person I reincarnate into generally has a talent that can help in my growth in some way.'
'That time when I reincarnated as one of the God Race was awesome. I had the Super Comprehension Talent. None of the other gods could match my speed as I mastered various divine arts.'
'Hmm, my current body has EXP*100 as a talent. Never seen this kind of talent before. System, can you explain.'
[EXP*100 is a basic Status multiplier type talent. Status Multiplier type talents are considered common grade talents generally, but your current talent is slightly special. It will multiply any EXP you get by a hundred times. This will allow your jobs to grow at an extremely fast pace.]
'Oh god, this is practically a cheating grade talent.' Alcor thought as his eyes started shining. This talent would allow him to swiftly grow stronger at a very accelerated pace. He could not wait to get healed and rapidly level up his jobs.
Just as he was fantasizing about his rapid growth, Alcor heard a few knocks and his hospital room door got opened. When he turned towards the door, he saw four people entering his room.
The first was a gorgeous lady in her mid-twenties. She had a perfect super-model-like figure with matching grace. Her big doe-like eyes seemed to always flicker with emotion. Her pretty oval face was framed with lustrous black hair, making it seem like a goddess had descended on Earth.
Alcor looked straight at this gorgeous lady. This lady was his current body Rodas's step-sister, Ananya. Rodas had lost both his birth parents one after another in mysterious circumstances. First, his mother when he was just a two-year-old child, then his father when he was only ten years old.
His father had married Ananya's mother when Rodas was just five years old. She was a widower too, having had Ananya, who was older than Rodas by five years, from her previous marriage. Since they both had kids to take care of already, they had decided not to have any more kids.
When Rodas was ten years old, their parents had won a small lottery and decided to go on a small mountaineering trip as a couple. They had left Rodas in Ananya's care, who was just a teenager at that time.
Unfortunately, they faced an accident in their trip and lost their lives, leaving Rodas and Ananya alone in the world. However, Ananya was a tough girl and she grew rapidly under pressure. She put the money from their parent's life insurance claim to good use and established her own company in the next few years.
But due to her focus on her business world, Ananya and Rodas had grown estranged. Ananya had wanted Rodas to join her in her business. But being young as she was, she had used some unpleasant language unintentionally in the conversation, resulting in Rodas leaving her and never looking back.
Rodas had put his share of the money in various Savings, Fixed deposits, and Mutual Funds, and lived a simple normal life away using the returns from his investment. He joined a good university in Delhi and had been completing his studies there all these years.
He had not seen Ananya since their fight all those years ago. So when Alcor saw this infamous new step-sister of his, he was slightly surprised and curious.
Apart from Ananya, he only knew one other person in this group of four. It was Naina, that helpful girl who had called the authorities and saved his newly reincarnated life from being cut short as soon as it began.
Other than Naina, the other two were two unfamiliar men in formal suits. They had a very formal and serious air about them, denoted by their uniformly short haircuts and identical clothes. Alcor knew that they must belong to some important organization, but the question remained as to what they were doing here.
"Hmm, I always knew you would get into trouble if you were on your own," Ananya said as soon as she was near Rodas, or Alcor currently.
Alcor gave an unaffected smile in reply to her jab, not letting her weak attempts to hide her nervousness bother him. He was not Rodas, who could not see through her obvious act to mask her nervousness and care for Rodas. This new step-sister of his seems to care a lot about him behind that unfriendly mask of hers.
Seeing that Rodas was not affected by her words, Ananya moved on to introduce the other people in the room, "These men are from the Special Investigation Department. The accident you were involved in was special, more so than you realize. It involves secrets that cant is known by regular people."
"As such, you and your rescuer," Ananya glanced at Naina who glanced back at her in confusion, "will be exposed to some high-level secrets now. Unfortunately for you, you don't have a choice to refuse since you guys are already involved in this."
At this point, one of the men from the Special Investigation Department stepped forward, "Mr. Rao, what do you remember from the night when you were attacked?"
"You mean my attacker? He attacked from behind and it was dark so I didn't see much. I thinking he might be some crazy mugger." Alcor said. He obviously knew it was not so from seeing Rodas's memory, but he didn't think it was something ordinary people would understand if he told them exactly what he saw.
The man turned to his colleague and raised an eyebrow. The colleague shook his head slightly in response. Before Alcor could ask anything about this, the man who was questioning him turned back towards Alcor.
"Mr. Rao. I know that is not what actually happened. Trust me, I know what you saw might seem as if it was something unbelievable. You may even think that you might have hallucinated and might be thinking that we may think you are crazy if you say it."
"But believe me when I say this: Nothing you can say will be surprising or unbelievable for us. Hence I ask again; What did you see at the night of your accident?"
