The World seems Realistic but Why do I have a Leveling System? Novel

Chapter 43 - Overrule By Excitement


The moment Sheila see the figure of Ria disappeared entirely, she immediately went into the Trial Tower via her phone. She didn’t even need to do anything else because the moment her surrounding changed from the bedroom into that of grassland and a new window pops up in front of her view; it was showing a familiar figure standing still, frozen in shock.

Sheila wasn’t worried that Ria would get hurt in this place since there’s no monster in the surrounding unless Ria had already accepted the quest. But seeing the current state she was in, she didn’t think that Ria would have done it. Even if Ria did take the quest, Sheila could still protect her by teleporting to her place. She has a special privilege as the host of Leveling System, after all.

While she was watching Ria walking around in search of her, she feels quite quilty seeing such a scene. She also didn’t even explain much to her before Ria arrived into this tower. But its fine, this is the only way to make Ria believe in her word. But, a class, huh? Ria acquired a healer class the first time she entered, but why didn’t she receive any sort of class? And even more, what is that Luck?! This is pure cheating! The Goddess of Luck is lying to me! Now it all makes sense to her; Ria always gets what she wanted to, be it against the wicked gacha or the lottery game, she will never lose against the two infamous monsters.

Maybe she should let Ria suffer for a while in this place? An evil thought emerged in her mind. She looked at the screen in front of her and saw Ria walking until she reaches the invisible wall, which halts her progress. It seems that Ria decides to rest her tired body there as she sat on the ground while warily looking at her surrounding. She didn’t need to though since Sheila is watching for her, after all.

It didn’t last long when Ria moves her attention to the blue card in her pocket. Seeing the status page appearing like what one would see in Sci-fi makes her fall into deep thought for a few moments while watching Ria. When she came out of her thought, she noticed that Ria seems to be looking for something. It didn’t take her long enough to understand what she was looking for; Ria has been walking for a few hours after all. It would be weird if she didn’t get thirsty after all that.

Sheila opened up the inventory and picked a bottle of cold mineral water before sending it into Ria’s card. This was also one of the privileges as the host of Leveling System. It is also one of the reasons why she wants to see Ria ‘suffers‘ for a while; she meant it. But of course, she won’t go too far with her prank, which was why she did this. And then, she saw Ria being surprised when the inventory page suddenly emerged in front of her. But from her expression, it was more like speechless since she probably didn’t expect it.

When Ria figured a way to bring the bottle out of the inventory, she immediately drank it like someone who hasn’t seen any water for days. It must be because of how great life is as a modern person where you can get drink and food anytime by buying it at a convenience store not far away from home. As one of the modern people, Sheila agreed to that.

She did drink a lot of water because of hydration since she spent most of her time playing games. Health is more important, after all. Anyway, it seems that Ria realised what she had done was wrong as she appears to be in a panic for a second there. But not until she found a quest function beside her name in the status page.

Oh, She was not surprised by it, I guess my plan to transform her into a weeb works wonderfully. 1Now, let’s give an alert to her in case Ria accept it without thinking further of the consequence since she didn’t tell her about the safe zone and monsters, after all.

But then again, how do a healer attack? Bash their opponent to death with their wand? As far as she knows, there is no offence spell in Healing Magic. Sheila ponders on what sort of weapon should she sent to Ria since her class is not an offensive one. Is it a hammer? Or maybe an axe? No, she’s not a muscular guy with a powerful and strong arm. Is it a rapier? But it seems harder to wield than a normal sword.

“A sword, I guess? Let’s take the silver one at the cost of 500 Gold in the shop. She should be happy with how pretty it is.”

She could get a lot of a different kind of weapon in the shop, but all of them is very expensive due to them being enchanted. The only weapon she could get is a normal one that is not enchanted; an example is a normal sword. There is also a gun in the shop, but it’s quite expensive even though it wasn’t an enchanted weapon. She could buy it, but Ria doesn’t know how to use it, and neither is she. Once she had a lot of gold, she might get herself a collection of guns just because, why not.

Guns are cool and also romance to a specific type of people. It could also be useful to frighten up normal people in case they were trying to cause trouble to her, but she didn’t think that would happen since she could literally bitch slap them to death if she wasn’t careful enough by holding back her strength.

Enough of side distraction, its time for her to send the sword to Ria, but how should she do it? Should she do it like the previous one with the bottle of cold mineral water? But that sounds boring; it wouldn’t be a surprise anymore if it happens twice. Are there any other ways?

Since she could teleport anywhere near the key holder, couldn’t she does the same to an item? When the thought came into her mind, she starts to see the probable of such things as possible. Feeling the excitement rushing through her body, Sheila holds the silver sword in her hands before looking at the screen in front of her where it shows Ria still checking out the blue card. She waits for her chance since she doesn’t want it to end up as a misfortune incident, No way. She doesn’t know what had possessed her, but she thought it would be fine so long as Ria is safe.

Again, she could teleport to Ria anytime and then make her drink health potion if she ever gets hurt. Or she could also send the sword into her inventory. While she was pondering on such thought, she noticed it in her view that Ria was staring up in the sky. This is a chance! Sheila immediately teleports the silver sword— but an incident happens as she accidentally chose the position to be above Ria instead of somewhere close to her where if the sword fall, it won’t hurt her. But due to her early excitement, she has just made a mistake.

She was actually on the verge of teleporting herself to Ria to protect her from the falling sword, but before she could do anything, she saw Ria managed to avoid it by a hair’s breadth. She cursed herself for making a mistake that almost cost her best friend’s life.

This is what happens whenever her excitement overrules herself. She remembers back when she was five years old; she invites Ria to follow her to climb a tree in the park. At that age, she was influenced by the cartoon shown on the TV, and because of it, she wanted to try it herself. And yes, as you have expected, an accident happens. She falls hard onto the ground when her hands become slippery while climbing the tree. She was then sent to the hospital when Ria runs back home, crying to her parent about the fall, and it was there that her parent lectured her to no end for the first time.

All according to Keikaku.
