Finding a place with enough dirt, Alfred dug a hole into the ground. He placed the thumb of the deceased person which he couldn't recognize and closed up the hole. He gave a small bow, "I don't know whatever you did to make you targeted but rest in peace." He gave a small bow and left immediately, not sure of the thoughts going through his head.
[Congratulations! You have completed Optional quest: Break into your professor's office to change your results]
"Yay!" Alfred exclaimed sarcastically. "I can't believe it's only been one day with this system yet I'm already so tired, and I'm supposed to live out my life with the system?"
[Quest rewards]
Alfred parted his lips in shock before smacking his forehead. "Are you effing me right now? What the hell!"
[Hidden quest reward: Escape without getting caught; quest successful]
<1 free stat point>
"There was a hidden quest? And what is the Exp, I don't remember seeing it before."
He was happy with the rewards he received, except for the weird title given to him, he wasn't actually impressed with the rewards but the fact that his grades were safe felt like the real reward, even though he had gotten it through dubious means. A win was still a win.
"System interface!"

"Well, it's for sure that things have changed in the system. I wonder what the useless title is used for, not like I'm interested.." he murmured, a frown settling on his face.
He continued the walk home, his body gradually calming down as the night wind accompanied him on his journey.
"I go through so much I'm nineteen years old, it's been months since I felt at home but it's okay cause I'm rich, sike! I'm still sad as a bitch, right. Ion want nobody to think that I'm an asshole ...."
Alfred shrieked, immediately stopping the song he was singing when a black cat suddenly jumped in front of him. He tried moving away slowly but the cat didn't give him the opportunity to. It moved back as he moved forward in an attempt to block him.
The cat stared at him, its green eyes big, round and bright, like it was anticipating something.
"C'mon don't stare at me like that! I'm not taking you home or anything. I barely have enough to feed myself, I can't afford a pet!" He drawled, making an attempt to move away from the cat.
The cat moved forward, closing the distance between them. It then proceeded to nudge Alfred while purring.
"Arghh! I really am a weird human!" He exclaimed, bending to the level of the cat and cradling it. The cat in response eased into his hands.
"I can stand against womanly temptations but it's different with animals. Although, no woman has ever tried to tempt me before."
He stood up, still cradling the black feline cat as he walked home. He stopped by a convenience store so he could buy cat food.
"This cat of yours looks really cute!" The cashier cooed.
"Unfortunately, he's not mine.."
"Wah!" She looked like she wanted to bawl her eyes out. "It's not yours and it feels this comfortable with you?. You must be a good person then. If only my cat would like me as much as yours does."
Alfred chuckled, itching his head awkwardly as he left the store.
"Guess you're really serious about staying with me."
Wearing his earphones back, music blasted in his ears as he walked back home.

"Where is the girl?"
"She's asleep. She fell asleep without saying anything to us. I suspect that she is able to speak but she seems too traumatized to speak." Suzie reported.
"And Wayne..?"
"He's finally coming to but will you really not be giving him any treatments? If you want, I can use some of the medications I created on him."
"This isn't a charity center. Besides, wouldn't it be an issue if your medications bring more harm than good? He's not like those guinea pigs you keep in a cage."
George bit his lips, agreeing with what he said.
"Also, me not doing anything to hurt him is the best help he can receive from me considering all he did."
"George's a scientist.."
PAM!
"Ow! What'd you do that for?!" Justin questioned, rubbing the sore spot on his head.
"How many times will I tell you never to interrupt an adult when they're speaking!" Suzie questioned, going for another hit.
Justin ducked to the right but it was like Suzie had already known that, her right hand smacked him again.
"Why are you doing this? And how did you know I would move like that?"
She was about to make a snarky comment but she noticed that it was actually weird. She wasn't able to hit him most times when she wanted to hit him but now, it felt like no matter how many times she wanted to hit him, she would succeed.
"I don't know… but it's probably because you're so dumb my body knows how your dumb self will react."
"I've been thinking…" George suddenly spoke.
"What?"
"Well, I observed you during the fight earlier, and I couldn't help but notice that you predicted your opponent's move accurately, too accurately to be precise…"
"Don't bring your science shit here, George."
"Just listen to me. You have been able to somehow miraculously predict what happens next, and if I'm not mistaken, you have a time system. Which leads me to the conclusion that you have time powers, you can see the future, even if it's only for a few seconds."
Everyone in the room including Derolo stared at George, unblinking for a few seconds. Suddenly, he also felt someone smack his head.
"So, you're saying I somehow have super powers? You must have hit your head."
"Then why'd you hit me! I'm older than you!" George cried, finally understanding the pain Justin went through.
Suzie shrugged her shoulders, walking away from George. "Your brain needed a reset so I did just that. You should be on your knees thanking me."
The door to the room was open and someone burst in.
"The little girl disappeared.."
