Chapter 5 - System is Updating

"I didn't mean to be rude… but you have never done your homework at home. Did you forget it whenever that happens, I have to help you with it?"

Sheila didn't take a moment to think about it as when Ria mentioned it, her Photographic Memory immediately took effect and bring her all the memories about it. Her face becomes as red as an apple when she looked into all those memories.

'Did you forgot to do it again?'

'This is already the fourth time, do I have to remind you every night?'

'Even when I have reminded you, It still doesn't work, huh.'

"So? If you were in my place, would you believe it?"

Sheila keeps her silence and quick up her walking pace as if running away from talking about the topics. Looking at the retreating figure of her best friend, she laughed.

***

In Sheila's Classroom.

Sheila can be seen playing her phone under the guise of reading book. It was an old trick that most students have tried it once in their life, except the diligent ones. Currently, Sheila is not wasting her time like the other idle students. She was pondering on severe topics which were shown on her phone's screen stated,

『 Leveling System is Updating…』

She was bewildered by the notification when she opened up the Leveling System this morning. She thoughts that she had to wait when the updating happens but from the look of it. She has to click on it since there is a small exclamation mark beside the notification. Now that she was at school, she decided to finally click on it with the reason of if someone is managing the system are watching me, then I don't think that person would let something terrible happens when I'm surrounded by meat-Cough, schoolmates.

『 By listening to the Host complaint, System has decided to upgrade the Quest System. 』

『 Please do the following quests to receive the update of Quest System 0.2 』

『 Quest has been created! 』

『 Updating Quest(S) 』

『

—Helping Sara with housework. (0/1)

—Finish your homework. (0/1)

—Score Legendary Kill in Games. (0/5)

—Exercise To Keep Your Body Healthy (0/1)

—??? ( Requirement has not been met yet. )

Reward: < Quest System 0.2 >

Punishment upon failure: < Losing Leveling System. > 』

Now that the quests she had been desperately looking for have appeared before her, she was speechless. There was all kind of emotions running through inside her mind in these single moments. She was naturally happy seeing the quest, but when she looked at the punishment, her mood dropped to the bottom. She wanted to ask why would she lost the Leveling System if she didn't complete the quest, but she could tell that this quest is definitely an important one for the system to act like this. She doesn't even want to think for a moment of losing the system, which is why she will definitely complete this quest.

After seeing the effectiveness of Photographic Memory skill, she knew that this is the real deal. Sooner or later, she could gain the skills that she wanted, so long as she has the system. Her childish dreams of when she was a child could also potentially come true. After pondering seriously, she decided to check out the detail of the quest one by one by cl.i.c.k.i.n.g on it.

『 Helping Sara with housework. (E) 』

『 As a filial daughter, you have to help your mother with trivial housework.

Reward: < Increased in Relationship with Sara. Mother's Happiness. >

Punishment upon failure: < Decreased in Relationship with Sara. Mother's Disappointment. > 』

She could finish this one as simple as walking to the park. Now that she thought about it, she had never helped her mother with anything at all. She feels kind of guilty about it, which is why she would help her mother with anything from now on.

『 Finish Your Homework. (E) 』

『 Finish the homework given to you by the Teachers.

Deadline: Tomorrow

Reward: < Your Teacher's Happiness. >

Punishment upon failure: < Depends on your teacher's mood. > 』

Pass.

『 Score Legendary Kill in Games. (E) 』

『 As a Gamer Girl(self-claimed), You have to practice your gaming skill at any time.

Reward: < Removing the (self-claimed) on the title >

Punishment upon failure: < Losing the Gamer Girl title > 』

This is the type of quest that she would happily do it without any question. Even though it's pretty tricky as she had to get the Legendary Kill five times in MOBA games but who is she? A self-proclaimed Gamer Girl! There is no way she would surrender under such a challenge!

『 Exercise To Keep Body Healthy. (E) 』

『

—30 squats. (0/30)

—30 push-ups. (0/30)

—Running for 1km. (0/1000M)

Reward: +1 VIT +1 STR

Punishment upon failure: -1 VIT -1 STR 』

Her early excitement was extinguished by the sudden appearing of hard difficulty quest. Even though her VIT has been increased by one, she is still considered as an average girl in stamina. If she were a normal girl, then it would be fine, but she's a full shut-in girl. No, it's wrong to call her a shut-in since she goes to school and also occasionally hanging out with her best friend, but one thing different between sheila and the normal girl was that she never exercise ever since she had been into the games. Even if her stamina could stand when she's exercising, it doesn't mean that she could follow up with it. It's like her hands' movement is fast, but that doesn't mean that she could shoot faster in the FPS games, you have to take the accuracy in mind.

『 Only by completing all the above quests could the final quest be released. 』

In the end, she had to do it. No matter how hard and difficult it is, she will endure and be done with it. At least, the reward seems better; the harder the difficulty goes. So long as she completes the quest, she will be rewarded, and her dreams could be achieved.

"Sigh... I'll have to grit my teeth and do my best, huh..."

"Yes, I believe you should do your best... to focus in class!"

The unexpected reply brings her back to to the reality that she was still currently in class. The teacher that should be in front of the class was now standing to her right. The teacher was smiling as the dark aura coming out of her. Sheila was sweating so much, and when she accidentally have eyes contact with her teacher, a chills run through her whole body.

"Um... teacher.. you know... this is..."

"Indeed, I wonder what it is. Did I just saw my student named Sheila, under the guise of book, she was secretly playing on her phone while in my class? I must be seeing things."

"Yes! You just see things, Teacher! Maybe you should go to the restroom and get some rest?"

"Yes yes... or so you thought I would say that? Meet me later after class."

"...yes."

Unbelievable. The meat shield plan against the system backfired at her.
