Everyone Else Has a System

At the Arcadia Hospital Main Branch 3

I moved inside the hospital and asked a couple of people about the freshly admitted students from my class. While they hesitated at first, when I told them how much of a good friend I was to them, the staff told me the way.

Moving towards the area I was headed to, I observed the place around and found a couple of people from other classes as well. Perhaps they had a rough fight as well? Well, I ignored them and moved to the place where Howard and Jenkins were and reached them.

"What are you doing here, punk?" Howard spoke while Jenkins sighs as he looks at me and said,"don't mind him. It's how he speaks. In any case, did you come here to pity me? If that is so, then please leave… I don't have time for this bullsh*t."

Howard was an orange haired kid with hazel eyes. He was the son of a builder and while his system was suitable for building purposes; he used the specific elements of his system to use it for fighting purposes. He didn't have the necessary skills to use in battle, but he was like a tank, with high vitality and high toughness. Combined with his brawl skills he developed on the streets, he ended up getting here.

As for Jenkins Carlson, the purple-haired purple eyed kid, he was an average athlete who got the specialised system related to anything rod-like and long. It was an odd system, but after getting used to it, he was able to get strong enough to get into this academy. He had only one purpose to be in this Academy, his bedridden brother, whom he was trying to save.

"A kid with family problems, who had lost everything because of one stupid mistake and another kid who wants to prove that he is worthy and wants to make his ex-girlfriend jealous, despite being cheated on. Quite an interesting duo I have in front of me," I spoke as I looked at both of them.

Both of them looked at me with a narrowed and shocked gaze and spoke,"who are you… and what do you want from us?"

I smiled at them for a few moments before speaking,"I want you to work for me… I want you to do what I ask you to do, without uttering anything."

Hearing my words, Howard almost jumped at me, but Jenkins held him back. While Jenkins was furious as well, he observed me with a calm manner and spoke,"wait Howards. Why do you think we will work for you?"

I looked at them for a few moments, before speaking,"I will help you get your revenge. Both of you… actually it is too easy for me to do it right now… Also, I will help take care of your family and friends… especially your brother Jenkins… I will help you cure him."

Jenkins' eyes turned open wide while Howard looked at me with a blank expression before he started laughing as he spoke out loud,"hahaha…. Do you even know what you are talking about? You think you can stand to help me out? Take revenge, huh? Tell me, oh so great Mister Aidan Williamson, how are you going to take revenge on a family like Ravens? They are f*cking God in their own hierarchy… Tell me Aidan Williamson, how are you going to help me defeat them? If you can actually do it, I, Howard Writher, am going to serve you for the rest of my life."

I smiled at him before speaking,"I know a few people who actually can do it… Wait, I actually know a lot of people who can not just kill them, but obliterate their very existence. However, Howard, that's not what I was talking about. I was talking about you defeating them by yourself. Kill them and wipe them all by yourself… How does that sound?"

Howard narrowed his eyes at me while Jenkins too looked at me with a suspicious gaze before Howard asked,"and you want me to follow, in return for what, huh?"

"Is there anything that can help to convince us that all of the nonsense you are spewing isn't just some bullshit but authentic?" Jenkins asked as he looked at me with a slight hopeful gaze.

"Sure," I spoke and moved towards him and touched the area where he was cut by Rheo. Because of Dark Magic, the area would take at least 2 or 3 days before completely healing normally with the current healing technology this world has, but we don't have time so…

"Aurora of Heal," I muttered, healing him instantly, and both Howards and Jenkins turned at me with a dumbfounded expression.

"It's just an artefact. Don't look at me like that… Well, I have a couple of connections which can be useful to you as I said, so as for proof, I think it would be better to show you some of them, don't you think?" I spoke and they both just kept looking at me for a few moments before Howard spoke,

"I guess…. Sure… Hey, can I ask you something?"

I was about to leave from there, but hearing Howard, I stopped and nodded at him.

"Why are you helping us? If what you said is true, then you won't even need us. You can get much stronger people working for you… heck, you can just use our enemies instead as they would be a much stronger force to use… why us?" Howard spoke with a curious gaze as he looked at me.

'That's quite a deep question for someone who is all brawns and no brains… but I guess I understand where he is coming from…' I thought before answering him with a question.

"Would you like to know the truth?"

They both nodded, and I spoke.

"I am preparing a force… and I need some people for the force to have their training with. While you aren't exactly as strong as being even the training dummies, with enough polishing, you should be able to become one. So, yeah… I am using you as a stepping stone to train someone… While this will also increase your strength, don't ever think that I am giving you priority or importance… I hope that answers your question," I spoke with my eyes turning red as I used Charm Magic.

While they would remember what I just said, they won't be able to tell anyone about it for the next few years… after that they would be on their own…

I sighed before moving away from there as I spoke,"I will message you a place to arrive by this evening. Make sure to create some time."
