Willow passively scanned through the comments. To be honest, he was almost ready for hate comments and readers cursing them out because of him messing up at the start. Thank god it all worked out, though.
He almost choked on the saliva he didn't even know he was swallowing at the third comment.
"WOW! I love this person Revenge goddess already! She has such good taste! Hah, even the role of a side character can't mask my charisma and attractiveness! I mean, how can someone be so amazing and incredible like me? If being awesome was a crime, I hate to think about the death sentence I would've been given!"
Making an extremely dramatic damsel in distress expression, she sighed, "Hah, now I'm even troubled by my amazingness!"
Willow just stared at her in a fed up manner as she went on about the troubles her attractiveness caused her. He wasn't even surprised by the height of his sister's narcissism anymore.
Initially, he thought that this was certainly going to end in disaster and they had no real chance of surviving. But looking at the reviews and the slowly rising point score, Willow prayed that maybe, just maybe, this all can somehow work out.
Adelia finally looked like she was done admiring and praising herself after about 15 minutes.
"Anyway, as impossible as it might be, a person as incredible as me still exists even if averages like you guys hate it. So, what now?" She asked, clapping her hands together as she concluded her self praising speech.
Willow rolled his eyes as he stated the obvious, "Go back to the class, I guess, Adel? We still have school left, you know."
A sudden realization came into her eyes as she remembered that they were still in school. And they had class. Oh, why must god put a beauty like her in classes about something she didn't even understand? A body and face as perfect as hers is clearly made for the camera, yet she had to attend a class about a trigono-something thing.
Still, to not admit defeat, she argued back stubbornly, "Well, thanks for stating the obvious, Will. Of course, I still remembered we had classes left. What I meant to ask was, what do we do next about the plot. We still need points, right? Or are you gonna survive with the useless things they teach us in class? Can they make up points, huh?"
"..."
"Uh, in case you guys forgot, I'm still here," The almost forgotten system said, making his easily ignored existence known.
Turning around, Adelia asked, "Oh, you're still here? Didn't you already do your job though? To be honest, you look like the type of guy –"
"System," Willow interrupted, reminding Adelia.
"Ah, yes, system. The type of system that'll be gone as soon as his work is done and the salary promised."
"..Ahem, ahem. I'll mercifully ignore what you just said," He said, trying to show off his bare minimum authority. He may be a low-level system but he still was higher up in authority than these newbies hosts, ah!
"It's not like I want to be here either, hostess."
"Hostess? Don't they generally call even the girls host too?"
Resisting the urge to smack her, he clenched his hands. Oh wait, he didn't have hands.
"You got a problem with that?"
"Ah yes, I do," Adelia argued back shamelessly.
Biting his lip, he held himself back from screaming profanities to this girl who even manages to piss off a system. At this moment, all he wanted to do was to curse at her like there's no tomorrow.
But there was, in fact, a tomorrow. And then the day after that. And then, a day when his resume would be checked and if he lost himself today, he might really regret it then.
Oh, how hard it's to be a system nowadays.
