Chapter 4 - Unexpected

『 Do you want to equip the title? 』

『 Yes/No 』

Her smooth white finger quickly clicked on the 'No' option, and the window disappeared. Who would want such embarrassing title on them? She doesn't wish to have such title, and she would instead leave it with the 'Gamer Girl' title. Now that her intelligence has increased and with the Photographic Memory skill, she didn't have to worry about her studies anymore. All she had to do was to read all the exam reference books, and she would likely pass with at least 80% from 100% result of the total score for one subject. She feels the invisible pressure that was on her body until now disappeared along with her worries of study. For now, she could put her focus more on this 'Leveling System'.

She has done a countless experiment on it, such as if it's possible for her to use it without the phone, or is it possible to acquire skills from a specific action of her with swinging wooden stick like a certain warrior of the game, but the result of both experiments come with a disappointing halt. She has to use her phone when using the 'Leveling System' to check status or quests. She couldn't just mutter a simple keyword such as 'Status Open', and it will appear in front of her. She also swung the wooden stick like an idiot without getting any sort of skill like 'swordsmanship'. Perhaps, her level is not high enough for the Leveling System to accomplish such a thing.

In the end, all she had to do was to level up. But now comes another question, which is how does she level up when there's no quest for her to do? She couldn't beat up thugs since her strength still remains the same, which is still relatively weaker than an average girl of her ages. If only there is an instant dungeon where she could farm monsters to level up, but that's probably an impossible wish.

Sheila let out a sigh before she rolled around on her bed due to the frustration of unable to think of anything for levelling up. After getting tired of rolling around her bed, she picked up her phone and decided to waste her time watching cat videos for tonight. Why about the dog? Come on; Cat is clearly superior. Do you even know the power of cuteness coming from a cat? Especially kittens. Whenever she saw those little cuties, she always has the urge to pats and rubbed their fluffy body. She especially loves when they bite her fingers with their small teeth as it doesn't hurt her at all, but instead, she found them absolutely adorable beyond anything.

She was thinking about all that already brought a smile on her face. She immediately clicked on an icon that looked like a red pause button before searching for cat videos.

"I'm going, Mom!"

Sheila shouted to her mother before leaving the house. Since today was her mother's day off, she was currently still sleeping. Sara had bought home food when she gets off work the day before for Sheila since she decided to have a full rest on her day off.

On her way to school, she had to take a bus which would take around 10 minutes before she would see her school from the window of the bus. But there's always one thing that troubles her on her way to school, and it was when she gets on the bus. She feels like a monkey at the zoo being stared at when she walked in. She hasn't realised it, but her appearance is quite outstanding than normal girls.

Ever since she was small, she grows up with good looking people around her. From what she knows, her mother works with people from the entertainment industry. She has successfully brought the current company that was once a small company into one that is filled with many achievements due to her taking the front. She was not merely beautiful, and her management skills are the reason that she got into her current position.

Due to her mother's unique position in the entertainment industry, she had met quite a lot of good looking people. Whenever they saw her, they would praise the greatness of her mother nonstop in front of her. It's not like she hates it but instead, happiness filled her heart whenever this happens. She was also proud to have such an excellent of a mother. Because of that, she only thought that her appearance is considered normal from looking at the people surrounding her mother.

Due to her outstanding appearance and cold demeanour, no one ever had the courage to try and start a conversation with her. Once, someone who has tattoos on his upper hands tried to talk to her, but before he could open his mouth, he was pulled over by a strange group of men who wears a black suit. When it happened, Sheila just thought that these people really know how to act and simply shrugged it off with a clown who wanted to act in public to make quick cash. The acting feels real to her when the thugs come out of the corner of the streets with bruises all over his body, and there was fear on his expression when he saw her after that. She never saw that man again.

Sheila pulled out her earphone and stuffing it back into her bags before walking out of the bus while being stares by others. When she reached the school front gate, she was greeted by someone.

"Sheila!"

The girl who greeted her has cute short brown hair and beautiful chocolate brown eyes. Her greeting voice seems to be filled with energy and just like the person herself who radiated the power of youth. The girl smiled when she returned her greeting.

"Good morning, Ria."

It was none other than her best friend, Cilia.

"Did you do your homework?"

Ria asked regardless when she knows that the girl beside her would always answer with negative and in the end, she had to give a helping hand. But to her dismay, the answer that she had expected didn't come but instead the opposite.

"Yes."

She became frozen like a rock and stopped her walked when she heard the reply. She looked at the sky and noticed that the sun is rising like any typical day, which calmed her down.

"Did I hear it, right? Did you say yes?"

"Of course. What's wrong? Did you not get enough sleep or something?"

"What date is today?"

"13th April. Perhaps, you have a fever?"

"No, I'm fine. It's you that is sick."

Ria answered back with a grim expression on her face. Sheila was left confused as evidence of her appearance which if it were animated, a question mark would have shown itself above her head.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Are you sure you have done your homework?"

Ria asked for one last time with a grave voice weirdly enough coming from her mouth. It couldn't be helped that she finds it weird since Sheila never did her homework at home. Her reason was, she couldn't focus her attention and would feel sleepy whenever she tried it and ended up playing games all night instead. When she said that she had helped her do her homework at school, it was not a lie but a whole truth.

"Of course! Wait… did you expect me not to do it? What the hell."

Looking at her best friend's serious expression, she doesn't know whether to cry or laugh.
