The next day, Yami woke up to the alarm of the system. Reminding him of the need to go to school.
"Ugh!" Yami groaned while sitting up from the mattress. He rubbed his eyes to wake himself and looked at the notification in his vision.
[!NOTICE]
[PLAYER'S SCHOOL MATERIALS HAVE ARRIVED IN THE INVENTORY. SCHOOL STARTS IN 15 MINUTES. DON'T BE LATE!]
"School, pain in the @ss," Yami stated as he opened the inventory with sleepy eyes. All the materials were set, and there were two sets of uniforms for him to change.
Yami looked at his messy clothes before taking those off and wearing clean ones. A thought came into his mind, and he decided to take off his soul ring to see what would happen.
As Yami took off the soul ring, his body felt heavier than usual, and the sting of the wound was felt on his knuckles, although the injury was healed.
He noticed that his body stunk and needed a bath.
Yami never hesitated to put on the soul ring back on his fingers and made his body artificial again.
"With this body, I don't need to trouble myself to bath," Yami stated while sniffing himself. He didn't reek of any foul smell, and his skin was smooth and clean.
'I'll bathe once I've settled myself in this world,' Yami thought before leaving the forbidden area. It was 7:47 in the morning, and classes started at 8:00 AM.
Yami began running to get to the school faster, but he bumped into someone when he turned to the right side.
The impact was strong that Yami didn't notice he was pushed to the road. A car was approaching fast and didn't have time to break before hitting him.
Yami's body flew a meter away, but he didn't sense any pain. The driver and his wife went out of the car to check upon Yami when they saw the heavy damage to the front bumper and bonnet with smoke coming out.
"Ying!" A familiar voice called Yami with concern. He was the one who bumped into Yami.
Yami looked up and saw Shun examining him with a concerned face, but it was changed to shock. Shun immediately hid Yami's face on his chest and looked back at the driver.
"He's fine," Shun stated awkwardly.
Yami was confused at Shun's weird action when he noticed that some of his body parts had open wounds, but instead of blood, a black fume was coming out, similar to the soul beast's body. It didn't take long before those wounds closed as if nothing had happened in the first place.
"We must take him to the hospital!" the woman spoke and was about to call for an ambulance, but Shun stopped her.
"No need. We still need to go to school," Shun said and waved his hand. He looked at Yami and saw the wounds were no longer visible on his skin.
Yami stood up and saw the damage on the car. He took some cash from his pocket and gave it to the couple.
"I'm sorry, I wrecked your car," Yami said and extended his hand, but the couple rejected his money.
"No need to pay. It's our fault, but are you okay?" the driver said while scratching the back of his head.
"Yes, I am okay," Yami showed that he had no injury, and the couple sighed in relief. They talked for a few more minutes before Yami excused himself since they would be late for class.
Yami and Shun both ran as fast as possible to arrive on time. They went to their first class, and the day started.
*Ring!*
The alarm went off, a signal that it was lunchtime. Shun brought Yami to the school's rooftop for lunch to have some privacy.
Yami was surprised that the system prepared food for him; even though it didn't look appetizing, it tasted good.
"Listen, Ying, don't tell anyone what had happened earlier," Shun spoke while eating his lunch. "Don't mention killing the raider or your origin. Also, no more violence, understood?"
Yami nodded his head while munching his food. He had no plans to expose his identity to everyone; he only told Shun because it was a quest. "I'll do whatever you say."
The entrance suddenly opened, and Feng Bo's group arrived. They looked around and saw Yami and Shun having their lunch.
"Look who's here!" Bai Gen yelled mockingly, and the rest of the group looked at them while smirking.
"This is our roof. You gonna pay up 100 lucre," Feng Bo stated while walking towards Shun.
"Did they forget what had happened yesterday?" Yami muttered with distaste. He could not believe that Feng Bo would have the courage to face them again after what had happened in the forbidden area.
"No, the Defender probably took them for 'protection' after the attack. When civilians are exposed to Raiders, they erase their memories to protect private information," Shun whispered as he stood up and faced Feng Bo.
"Stop that. You don't own this place," Shun voiced and stood his ground to show he was not afraid.
Feng Bo smirked and kicked Shun's stomach without delay. "I said, pay up, nerd."
Yami sighed as he got tired of watching Feng Bo's bullying. He lifted his body and was about to strike Feng Bo when he remembered Shun's words.
Instead, Yami grabbed Feng Bo's wrist, wrapped in bandage, a sign that he got hurt from yesterday's attack.
Feng Bo screamed in pain and tried to push Yami away, but Yami pinched him more before letting go and thrusting Feng Bo backward.
"What the h3ck, Chibi!" Feng Bo yelled while massaging his wrist from pain. His group glared at Yami and waited for their leader to assert their next move.
"Can we go through?" Yami smiled innocently. "You can now have this rooftop all by yourself."
Feng Bo didn't say anything and watched Shun and Yami walk away. Even if their memories are removed, their instinct tells them to stay away from those two.
