The World Seems Realistic But Why Do I Have A Leveling System? Chapter 97
Advertisement
Just like any other day, Sheila awoke early in the morning and go out for some daily jogging before eating breakfast and all dressed up, ready to go school. On the way to school, walking next to Ria, Sheila was feeling quite uneasy for some unknown reason.
After the incident in the mountain when she was investigating, Sheila had a bit of discussion with Ria when she got home. She got lectured quite a bit from Ria when the latter get to know about her reckless action, but that's not the point. Though they talked about the problem, in the end, none of the two have any idea how to resolve it at the moment.
At the end of the discussion, Sheila went back to her room before entering the Trial Tower to grind for EXP. Because of her previous mistake, this time Sheila keeps her distance from the boss, Ogre, at the center of the Forest. After she had experienced the aura of the Earth Dragon, the Ogre's seemed to be not so scary after that fact. Although she almost got in trouble once again right after leveled up, thankfully she could escape right on time.
Back on the topic, while Sheila was walking right next to Ria on their way to school, she suddenly frowned as unease feeling washed over her. Of course, Ria had noticed it when she suddenly stopped walking and worriedly asked if something wrong. But since Sheila herself doesn't know the reason why she feels uneasy, she could only shake her head in response before the two proceed towards the school.
When the two arrived on the front gate of the school, they were met with a crowd of students chattering out loud in their perspective group. Filled with curiosity, Ria went to one of the groups of students and asked, 'Did anything happen?' which they answered with something that caused the two girls, Sheila and Ria to feel as if their heart stopped beating for a moment right then.
"Actually, we heard that a student saw a group of men pulling a highschool girl from our school into the van, possibly kidnapping. Some of us thought it was just a joke at first, but we know that it's real when the cops arrived just a while ago."

"The world is a scary place, isn't it? Getting kidnapped out in public, in the morning at that!"
"More importantly, I wonder who the high school girl is, someone did say she's a junior based on her uniform but-"
But before the student could continue his word, he was interrupted by Sheila who suddenly grabbed his collar and said.
"Where's that student who saw it?"
"E-Eh, W-Who are you? umm, I think she was taken to Teacher's Office..."
After getting her answer, Sheila released the boy before proceed to walk toward the Teacher's Office. Although Ria was surprised at Sheila's reaction, she apologized to the students who were grabbed by the collar by Sheila before running toward the figure ahead. When Ria finally caught up to her, she saw a girl saying something to Sheila while crying as Sheila listens quietly, it didn't take a genius to know that girl must have been the one who 'saw' the kidnapping case, and from the look of it, she didn't seem to be someone who merely saw the incident.
The girl in front of Sheila who is in tears, Lily, is actually Yuna's best friend. They have known each other for years now, and if not for Yuna's 'teaching', Lily would have not become a person that has confidence aura like the current her, though, at the moment, there's only the feeling of helpless around her instead of confidence. After all, when Yuna was kidnapped, Lily has just come out of the convenient store with ice cream in her hands, and her best friend was supposed to be waiting near the door.
But when she steps outside, she saw Yuna being taken away by a group of men with the latter not being able to resist, and unable to process what she had just witness, Lily stood frozen on the spot and could only helplessly stare as the van fade away into the distance. It was only a few minutes later that the reality finally hits her that she ended up burst crying before calling on cops. Even so, that still couldn't stop the guilty to pressured her, if at that time she had not frozen in place and, instead, tried to help Yuna even though she will likely get taken too as it was a futile effort, it is still much better than not doing anything at all.

After hearing everything from Lily, Sheila pats the girl in the back and told her, 'everything is going to be okay, for now, just go to your class, I'll take care of it.' and without waiting for a reply, Sheila turned back and headed to her homeroom teacher before interrupted their conversation to ask for a leave. If not for Sheila's grades has improved beyond the old her, the teacher would have rejected her request on the spot. Afterward, Sheila went upstairs to the rooftop in silent, followed by Ria, and while Sheila was looking down from the rooftop, Ria opened her mouth and asked.
"So, what are you going to do? Are you not going to look for her?"
But Sheila didn't respond and stay silent while staring at the school below, that's what Ria thought when she looked at her, but actually, Sheila was currently using all her power for Presence Detection skill, trying to find the familiar presence within the surrounding area. As she had expected, though it was a futile effort as there's no way the kidnapper would stay around the area of the kidnapping scene, because there are still 0.00001% among many possibilities, Sheila decided to do it anyway. Once she had locked the presence in her mind, Sheila was about to head down but not before she was stopped by a student on the stair.
"Can you step aside? You're in the way."
"U-Umm... actually, I was told to give this to you."
Right after that, the student gives an envelope to Sheila before bowing her head and running away immediately. Though Sheila finds the student suspicious, the envelope in her hands seems to be more of a priority. Looking into the envelope, there was a letter inside. Ria went closer as Sheila slowly reveal the content in the letter.
[ Yo, you must have been pretty angry right now. I wish I could have seen the look in your face but sadly, I have to let this opportunity go. Although that was what I said, I still have the opportunity to enjoy your suffering. You must be wondering who I am, no need to research as I'll tell you right now.
My name is Rodrick Jayson, the son of Albert Jayson, the CEO of Albert Entertainment. I'm sure you know about the company but that's not the reason why I kidnapped the girl, actually, though it is petty, I still remembered the humiliation and defeated that I have suffered back then at the alleyways very clearly to this day. It even appeared in my sleep, not a day could I rest peacefully without remembering that day!
That's why, if you want to save the girl, come to this place. I'll be waiting, of course with a group of my men. Ah, if you ever thought of calling the cops, go on ahead, it would just escalate thing further which I assumed you don't want, right? This time for sure, I'll thoroughly enjoy your suffering! ]
After reading to the end, Sheila immediately ripped the letter to pieces as she could feel the rage boiling inside of her. At that time, Sheila had thought the punishment he went through was enough to make him back down, now she realized that she was still naive back then. It's already too late to regret, even without this letter, she already know where their hiding spot is when she used all her power a while ago, though she now also knows the most important thing, which was the culprit identity and the reason behind the kidnapping.
"Are you going? I'm sure this is a trap they set up to bait you."
"Trap or not, I'll still go. Let's see what sort of 'trap' can stop the current me. Especially when I'm very angry."
