Chapter 26 - Trying Out My New Skill.
< Quest four completed >
< Rewards are added >
< Stats are upgraded >
'Oh. cool. So here another Quest completed,' I stared at the Ring. this sure is strange, having superpowers were turned into reality from fiction because of 'that' thing and now even RPG Systems are coming to life.
I grabbed the Ring and tried pulling it. It didn't come off.
"So, no matter what I do, I can't take this Ring off unless I give up on this power? This power is too good to just give up on, I will keep it use it wisely."
He yawned again this time a long one, "But for now I guess I should just sleep."
....
"Hey, come on wake up." I started to open my eyes after hearing the call, my vision was still blurry. A figure appeared in front of me.
"Uhmmm~"
"So you slept here the last night huh. Well, I hope you had a nice rest cause your body needs it."
"Dr. Mary.." I saw her face, a woman with a long white lab coat on her, her hands in the coat's pockets. Her long red hair floated behind her as she moved.
I got up she was standing in front of me with a smile, "Good morning, Ryan."
"Uh yeah morning.." I rubbed my eyes trying to pull myself against the wall to sit on the bed's corner, "... Doc.. huh?" I brought my eyes down.
I- I was not wearing my T-shirt I was half-naked again!
"Care to explain what happened?"
"What do you mean? About your scar..?"
"No not that. Actually, that too but first what happened to my clothes? Why'd you take them off?"
"Huh, how can you be so sure it was me who took them off?" A naughty teasing grin. Is she perverted?
"I remember putting them on before sleeping so there's no way I took them before sleeping."
"Hmm" she bit her lower lip as she leaned on the bed, "Yeah. I took your clothes off, actually I wanted to check your wound but you were sleeping so well that I thought it would be bad to wake you up so I decided to do it myself..." she brought her long slender finger near my chest.
"That's it?"
"Yeah, that's it." She didn't raise her head.
"So what's your report to tell me?"
"But you sure did well recovering the scar in only one night. I wonder how." She moved her finger around my chest. Damn this tickles!!
"Move away, Doc. I did nothing, I just slept and the scar healed itself."
"O- oh." she moved back, "Well, go and wash yourself up in your room then come back to the infirmary you are not fully recovered yet I believe.
I hummed while wearing my T-shirt. I was barely able to keep my calm. I was still sleepy I thanked her and walked out to my room.
'She didn't even wake me up at the right time it's already late for classes. Well not that I care.' I walked through the hallway with messy bed hair and a lazily pulled T-shirt.
"Ah," I yawned, "I gained a new skill yesterday yeah. What was it again..?"
< A new skill gained: Vision > I tried remembering from the flashback.
"Vision was it? Yeah?" Few students were walking through the hallway, "Vi- something with Vi.. Vision?"
< Vision. Let's you know the base present stats of anyone you have seen. To use this, lock eyes with the person and say 'Vision' after the first time you will be able to use it without being in contact with the person >
"Hmm, cool isn't it? I should try my new skill..." There were few students in the hallway anyway, I locked my eyes with a girl who walked past me giving me a 'You're a creep' look.
I heard a bing sound. This is when the System gets to work I thought.
I took the pain of being judged a creep cause I wanted to use this skill. I turned back and continued walking. 'Huh? Why the Systemmm... Urgh! Shit!' I grabbed my head, "I forgot to take the skill's name!!" I groaned.
Okay again. Another girl walked by me. I stared into her eyes, "Vision." I muttered. She walked away pretending as nothing happened.
< Name: Mary Jane >
< Gender: Female >
"Ah her name is Mary huh, the same as Doc's name. And wow she's a female.. what the fuck! I already know this! What's the use of having this skill? Fucking useless," I cracked up.
'It told it will show base stats they are not even stats fuck the base part. You scam!' I took a deep breath.
I went to my room, the laptop was open but switched off.. probably out of battery. The whole room looked so dead to me, lifeless, cold, creepy.
....
"I am still angry about you stripping me down, doc."
"Hey. don't make it sound weird. I was just checking your muscle- wound."
"You just said muscles."
"No, I didn't."
"I don't have many muscles to stare at though. My abs are faint, dull biceps and triceps cause I stopped working out ages ago."
"You have pretty tough thigh muscles though,"
"Doc..." I facepalmed.
"Hehe." She was making something with those chemicals shit.
"Please don't do that ever again."
"Yeah- yeah sure."
'And what if I was the one who did that to her? She might have reported me to the police, told every teacher, ruined my leftover reputation, and make me look like a pervert for the rest of my life.. such gender inequality.' I thought. There's no way I could say this to her.
"By the way Ryan..." She turned with her hands in the coat's pocket, "Will you explain how you got the wound to heal overnight?"
'Ugh. not this again. 'I used the Ring System to help me heal myself. It uses blood to heal me, and you know what? Someone even saw me yesterday doing it!' There is no way I can say this.' I sighed, 'Gotta put an act.'
"Doc, as I said I am surprised myself I did nothing, just ate, slept and the next time I opened my eyes I was laying down on the bed half-naked. I know nothing."
"That's all?"
"Yeh, that's it."
"Okay then."
"I thought you healed my wound this morning when you stripped me."
"No. It was not me though,"
"Fine. it's healed that's what matters. So what is the plan for today?"
"Nothing much for you. Eat food then rest till it's a new day." She injected the syringe.
"Don't strip me down the next time I wake up, please."
"Shut up. I am your teacher.." I lost consciousness.
