In all of the books he's been seeing, everything was just about war and military. Nothing else. Not even a story book or novel.
< You have gained 50exp from searching about the system >
< 100/100 Exp >
< Level up >
< Would you like to evolve to the next level? >
Xin stared at the messages that was shown to him.
"I gained 50exp from reading about the system?" Xin said, "This is crazy."
"So reading through all this war and military books means I'm also reading about the system? How is the system and war book connected?"
' Your system was created because of the war, so it must award you for reading about the reason it was created.'
He read the second message that asked if he wants to evolve or not. And Xin had clicked yes in his mind.
< Congratulations, you are now level two >
"Is that all?" Xin wondered, but then, several messages started popping up.
< Name: Xin Blade >
< Level: Level Two >
< Ability: Omni-ability >
< Sub-Ability (1): Lightning ability >
< HP: 10/10 >
< Exp: 0/ 200 >
< Upgrading Mana to level 2 >
< Mana: 150/300 >
"Well, at least I'm getting stronger." Xin said.
After Checking everything that he wishes to see, Xin exited the library. As Xin left the library, he decided to head to his dorm room, he was getting tired and weary that his eyes were getting weak. He had stayed too long in the library that he didn't realize that it was already past 8 in the evening. The School curfew starts at 10pm so Xin still have a bit more time left.
But as he was walking through the school hallway, Xin could see a kid that was being pushed up against the wall by a group of students. The boy on the wall looked like he had already been hit a few times and had markings on his face.
"So this is what Xinny said about bullying?" Xin thought.
Xin managed to catch a glimpse of the boy's collar and saw that the number on it indicated that it was a 1 power level. Xin was quite surprised at this as the person doing the bullying was quite weak himself, then why is he bullying someone that was as weak as him. Or perhaps they had some misunderstandings among each other.
But if he's a bully, the only people he would be able to bully were people who had a power level of one like himself.
Xin was debating with himself whether or not to get involved. He hated bullies more than anything, not after what Xinny had told him about her brother.
Of course, Xin wanted to test out his current power and he had found the perfect candidate to use. The student in front of him was only at a power level of 1 so there was a high chance that he'll win. But something was missing, he needs to keep his current power level a secret.
While he was thinking of what to do, the A1 system had gave him a suggestion.
' Place your hands on the collar device.'
Xin did as the A1 said and suddenly a notification appeared in front of him.
< Do you wish to alter this device? >
Xin selected yes and more options appeared.
< Change digit permanently > < Change digit temporarily >
"Will I be able to return back to my previous power level if I select the temporarily one?"
' Try it first and see.'
Xin ignored the cheeky A1 and selected the option he wanted. He knew it is useless asking the A1 when it won't answer the asked question. But he was still thankful for the help it had just rendered.
"You're not bad after all."
After he had selected the Change digit temporarily option, the system beeped that it was successful and the number four that was on the collar changed to one. "Now we're good to go."
The student lifted his fist again to give the student another punch.
"You think you can escape from me? I told you to give me all your savings you idiot!" He shouted as he swung his fist.
Then as Xin was walking past, he pretended to be picking something on the floor and then suddenly bumped onto the student, causing him to fall off balance and miss.
"Who the hell are you?" The student said as he looked at who had just pushed into him.
The student then immediately looked at Quinn's collar and suddenly the patience in him grew.
"What the hell is a level 1 piece of shit like you doing?"
"You mean a level 1 piece of shit like you, 'cause you're no different, you still get bullied."
"And what are you going to do about it? Don't you also get bullied? Or are you one of those rich kids who doesn't get bullied like us. You're shit man."
The student that was bullied was starting to feel slightly worried about the student that had just interfered. He didn't know the type of ability that Xin have but he knew that the other guy has a transformation ability. He wanted to shout out for the two of them to stop because he was too scared someone would get injured because of him.
He had been hurt his whole life and didn't want to be hurt anymore. This was just how the world worked and no matter who appears, they can't change it. The people at the top with the strongest powers bullied the weaker ones and in turn, they bullied the even weaker ones. Circle of Life.
It was the first time the bullying student would meet someone weaker than him and suddenly all the pain he had been experiencing since the day one of his life, he wanted someone else to feel it too. That way he won't feel like he was the only one being treated unfair.
Xin then noticed that the student had his eyes closed and both of his hands were joined together. While he was doing this, the system had notified him.
< An ability has been detected >
< Activating fighting mode >
< New quest >
< Win the fight to gain 50 Experience points >
Suddenly, Xin had a huge grin on his face. Perhaps fighting people like this would make him get to level ten.
