[Michael Aroa's POV]

.

.

In the lift, we waited for a couple of seconds before we got out and found a car waiting for us at the front gate. It was a black Mercedes which looked really lavish and cool and from the side logo it could be easily inferred that it was a company car.

'Is someone special coming?' I thought as I looked at the car since only the rich ones could afford a car like that, but Caroline spoke out,"It's brother's car. He says we can use it for traveling."

Caroline was reading the messages from the smartphone, and I nodded at her before moving towards the car. The driver got out of the car and moved to us as well before introducing himself.

"Will it be okay if we drive the car ourselves?" I asked politely, making him smile as he took out the car keys and passed on to us. I held the car keys for a couple of seconds before passing it to Silver as I spoke,"drive to the nearest clothes shop which should be open now. We are getting you dressed up properly first."

Silver looked at herself, especially at the gown she was wearing, and nodded in agreement. Because it was early morning and the number of people was less, we weren't getting stared at but if it were afternoon time, people would surely even start clicking pictures of us.

Silver then moved to the front seat while I and Caroline moved into the back seat.

"Phewww!!!" Caroline exhaled a long sigh as she let herself drown in the seat of the car while she smiled at me,"that was something,"she spoke as she still was having a hard time believing all that had happened.

"Well.. it could have gotten much worse,"I spoke as I pondered about it. She too nodded at it before speaking,'so much for a casual meeting between a brother and a sister.' "Maybe. But if you look at it from an objective point of view, this would have happened sooner or later, anyway. Let's just hope nothing like that happens around Amila.. hey Silver, there is no super powers around Amila, right?" I asked with slight interest, and Silver pondered a little before speaking,"Nothing that I know of. She has been detached from the Escarte Family for quite some time now. It would be odd for her to be involved in anything superpower related."

Caroline too joined in as she asked,"do you know anything about the bullying she is going through in the uni?"

'Bullying?' I got curious as I heard Caroline's words. My eyes turned to Silver, who answered Carol,

"From the data we have collected, it is something like this. The Principal's son is in the same class that Miss Amila is in and right now both the kids are fighting for a certain scholarship that is considered the most prestigious scholarship in the entire country. Long story short, Principal and a couple of teachers are pulling strings, making things difficult for Miss Amila to succeed in getting that scholarship."

"Now isn't that something.. Where I have heard this before?" A smile formed on my face as I looked at Caroline, who was smiling at me with a knowing smile. To be precise, it was the same situation that Alissa and I were going through right now.. though mostly we were winning with the faculty, not being able to do shit about it.

"Guess you coming with me was actually more blessing than I thought it would be," Caroline spoke as she got closer to me and put her head on my shoulders as she closed her eyes.

"Bow to the Great Michael- oww! Haha," I joked sarcastically as Carol hit me in the stomach, making me tickle a little before I saw her smiling face.

For a while, she turned quiet as she looked at me with the same smile.

"What?" I asked as I looked at her.

"Nothing, it's just that.. it's been a while that you behaved as your usual self,"she answered with a chuckle.

"Did I? I thought I was behaving normally all the time," I said, as I wondered if there was anything different in my behavior. I mean, the Apocalypse did bring a change in me, but it can't be that much, can it be?

"Nothing, Don't worry about it,"she said as she moved closer to me and kissed me on the lips before removing her shoes as she put her head on my lap and her legs on the seat, making her lay down in a comfortable sleeping position.

"Wake me up when we reach Amila's High School,"she spoke as she closed her eyes. It didn't take even a few seconds before I found her falling asleep. Perhaps she was really tired?

I touched her cheeks slightly as I brushed past her hair while I looked outside the window at the morning city view.

"We are here,"Silver said as I saw us reaching near the cloth shop. Silver looked at me through the mirror and asked,"should I go by myself or will the master join me?"

"Go by yourself. I would like to be myself for now,"I answered her, and she nodded before getting out of the car. My eyes then looked through my status and skill.

I would love to wait a little, but it seems like I must increase the level of my [Inspect] for now. While I could have defeated that King, not knowing anything about him gave me an uneasy feeling to be honest.

[Total Skill Points: 17]

I then upgraded [Inspect] to level 7

[Inspect(Level 7)!]

After pondering a little, I recalled that I still haven't completed the [Daily quest] right now. Hmmm.. I would need to pick out sometime in the day to finish that as well.
