Chapter 3 - Following up

"What!?" The matron yelled.

After a while she calmed down and continued."So, let me get this straight. You leave to go to the park and while minding your own buisness a man comes up to you and, offers you a job?" She asked in disbelief

" I mean when you put it like that… it sounds like, suuuper sketchy." I said while blushing embarrassed

"Because it is sketchy!" She says before sighing "you have to be more careful about these things. I mean, who knows what could have happened!" She says while crossing her arms.

She then looks at me and says "So, do you think the offers real?"

"Yeah, they are actually blowing up right now " I assured her "They started by managing idols and have just recently been branching out."

She nods and asks me "So, what are you gonna do?"

Looking into my eyes she continues "Do you, Want to do something like this?"

"I really do, its been a dream of mine since i can remember. Also this kind if opportunity doesn't come often." I respond with heartfelt enthusiasm

"No, it does not." She looks away for a moment, and takes a deep breath.

Looking back at me she says "Okay, i support you. I support your decision and will do what i can to help you accomplish your goal."

She then smiles and says "Keep in mind, i'm not exactly rich so, try not to bankrupt me."

I smile back at her and respond with "i'll try my best not to."

Flinching she says "well, good enough i guess."

After we finished our chat i headed upstairs to the room that belonged to this body's previous owner.

After climbing the stairs i saw a long hallway filled with doors each with it's own whiteboard hanging from the top.

The good thing is that me and this body's previous owner Shared the same name so finding my room was as simple as looking at the whiteboards.

After a bit of walking i found my room it was small about the size of a college dorm. Apparently i shared this room with one other person he wasn't here yet but i could see the other bed and how the room was divided in half.

Walking in and closing the door behind me i sat on the bed and decided it was probably a good time to start a mental checklist.

'Okay, let's see first things first i have the basic necessities taken care of. So i can check that off.'

'Next, i need to talk with Saitou and get that job. Getting that job will help tremendously with preventing ai's death.'

'I don't know the exact date. The only thing i remember is that it happens right before she was going to perform at the Dome.'

'And that the reason it happens is because she contacts the her kids's dad and tells him where she lives. So he manipulates a crazy obsessed fan to go and kill her.'

'So my goal should be to stop that at all costs.'

After deciding on my goals i lay down and try to get some rest. But when i fall asleep i dream of progress, of learning, knowledge. I dream of growth, and the capacity for it. I dream of intelligence and the way to use it.

Waking up i see a strange glowing blue screen hovering in front of me.

Confused i try to touch it only for my finger to go through as though it's not even there.

I look at what the screen says and realize what it is. The screen said

[Welcome, to the learning system]

[This system was made to give its host the ability to learn at a hyper advanced pace. As well as gain as a mastery over any skills the host desires.]

[The learning system, was originally created as an alternative to The gamer system. They wanted to discourage people from choosing The gamer system because it was way too overpowered.]

[The learning system grants it's host 2 skills to start.

Skill: limitless mind (since this was an alternative to the gamer system they had to give the host the ability to grow without worry that they would run into a wall or limit. This skill grant the host an enhanced memory and prodigious skill in any task they undertake.)

Skill: limitless body (Have you ever heard the saying "a healthy mind resides in a healthy body" yeah, that is this skill. This skill grants the host the ability to improve as long as they challenge themself.)

'Well, that was unexpected' i thought to myself looking the system over.

'This should help a lot with reaching my current goals.' Getting up from the bed i look around my side of the room for a while before finding a zip-lock bag with my name written on the outside and a toothbrush and toothpaste inside.

Taking it with me along with a change of clothes i wander around looking for the bathroom.

Finding it and going in i take a shower, get changed, and brush my teeth.

Putting my stuff back into my room i take a deep breath and head downstairs to finally accomplish my dream since childhood.

To become an actor.
