She looks at the man and frown, she grips her fist and sigh, just realized fighting someone without her weapon makes her strength decrease by 50%.
The man seems surprised too but he recovers fast as he stood up. He pats his jeans and looks at her directly.
She can say he was a ruggedly handsome man; he was someone she will go for if she was looking for a hot date. His hair was cropped and has a color of midnight black, his eyes were deep green, and he looks like he was working out base on how tight the white shirt is. He was also quite tall; she can speculate that he was 6’1 height taller than most the varsity students here.
“Hey” he smiles awkwardly
She didn’t answer him but raise her eyebrows.
He coughs and held out his hand.
“Dillan, Dillan Chester.”
She looks at him and uses her [Observe] skill

> Wis:19
>

She was suddenly startled and look secretly at Niah who was secretly emitting a large amount of energy at her side. She also uses her [Observe] on her;
> Title: High priestess witch

> Niah Johnson

> Phy: 15
>
> Agi:18
>
> Wis:35
>
> Skills:

>
> Voodoo magic (B)
In the end, she still didn’t take his hand and look at Niah
Niah look at Joan who was looking at her, then shaker her head.
“I don't know him"
Dillan just shrugged his shoulder then put both of his hand inside his jeans pocket.
“Umm, let’s see…I’m- “
Suddenly, she felt multiple presences approaching here fast. She frowns when she realized they were being surrounded.
“Ambush?” although she can’t feel any hostility on them, but being mercy on someone else hand was very uncomfortable.
“Dillan!”
Soon four guys approach them, she looks at them and realized some of them belong to the varsity football team. They stop when they realized two girls were currently present. They look at each other, making the situation awkward.
“What?” Dillan growl. They can hear the dissatisfaction in his voice.
Someone coughs and began to speak.
“We need your help; Bob has been…. hurt”
He looks a little complex while saying those words.
“Can’t you elaborate?”
“It better if you saw it yourself”
Dillan just rubs his face in frustration, he then drops them to his side. He looks at the two girls who were currently looking at him.
“What?” Joan finally said something
Dillan opens his mouth, then closes it. He just shakes his head in frustration.
“Fuck it, let’s go!” he approaches the group and led them away but not before elbowing someone’s chest hard. They heard the grunt of someone's in pain. When Dillan looks at the guy, the guy just smiles while biting his lips. Dillan looks at her direction and nod before leaving.
After a few seconds, they were gone.
“What the fuck was that?”
Niah then suddenly face her and put a hand on her hip and look at her upside down.
“That’s I’m meaning to say, “What the fuck was that?” don’t tell me about "because I like black widow costumes, I decided to become like her" shit?”
She shrugged her shoulder
“Well, I don’t know what else to tell you.”
Niah narrow her eyes at her.
“One of these days, you’re going to tell me your secret, not without bullshit”
“Same here,” she said to herself while she looks at Niah in pondering expression.

During her free time, she visits the place where the lightning strikes her but realizes her error. The forest seems to be strictly guarded, when she was about to approach the forest someone appears above the tree. Thanks to her radar, she already knows he was hiding in the tree leaves. if not, well...she just going to say sorry if someone corpse was found in the middle of the forest if someone surprise her withour her knowing. A guy wearing blue uniform came out of the clearing while holding a gun.
This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.
"Please go back to where you came from. This place was only for authorized personnel."
She frowns.
"I remember coming here, but no one stop me"
The guy gawk and chuckles.
"This forest was always protected, anyone who tried to trespass here will be shot down immediately so you're impossible to enter here without permission."
"That strict huh."
The guy didn't say anything. He just tightens the rifle he was holding was looking at her vigilantly. She looks at the forest then sighs.
"Understood, sorry for bothering you"
"No problem" he just nods.
She turn around and leave, she can still feel the stare of the guy on her back until she reaches the school ground.
-
While waiting for her father’s car to arrive at the parking lot, she felt a familiar presence approaching here, she didn’t need to look back to knows who it is.
Seconds later, she felt someone stand beside her. Finally, she can’t take her curiosity anymore and look at her brother.
He was currently texting someone, although she can’t see his full face, she knows his lips were cracked, and has a black eye on his right side of his face.
“You look very pretty”
“Shut up,” he said under his breath
“What happens?”
“It’s none of your business”
She just rolls her eyes and looks at the parking lot. Teenagers' angst was not her cup of tea, so she ignores him.
Soon she heard in sigh in frustration and put his phone back in his pocket.
“Bob, that big guy mess with me because he thought I was messing with his girl.”
“I thought its none of my business?”
“Are you going to listen or what?” he grouches at her
“Cool your horse's dude, I’m not your enemy”
James takes a breath and cools himself down.
“Sorry, just…just having a bad day.”
“Aren’t we all?”
They became silent for a second before she talks again.
“Hey, you did well out here”
James looks at her in surprise.
“You saw it?”
“Everyone saw it.”
He scratches his head
“I guess I’ll be in detention tomorrow.”
“At least you protected your dignity, that’s all it matters.”
“Yeah” James nod in agreement while smiling triumphantly.
-
A few minutes later, the car arrives. Her dad didn’t say anything when he saw James' current condition.
He chooses to be silent on the way, but he occasionally takes a peek at him, when he finally realized James wasn’t talking, he turns to her daughter only to see her watching the window. He just sighs, maybe her wife can do a better job at this.
After arriving at home, she immediately climbs the stairs to her room. When she was about to close the door, she heard the commotion downstairs. She bet her mother was getting hysterical right now. But she pretends to not hear it and close the door.
She threw the bag somewhere and lay on the bed. She ponders what happens earlier.
"The forest was being protected, so I couldn't enter without permission. I can try to infiltrate the place...but that's the den of those wolves. I'm not confident in my stealth skills so I rather not risk it.
“That Dillan was very strong” she murmurs while remembering how high his stats and how he resisted her attack easily.
“There was also Niah, although she looks normal but based on the status, she was some kind of witch, and high priestess at that."
But just imagining someone old witch watching yaoi anime makes her eye twitch. She suddenly discovers her views of the natural world was slowly being crack.
“Interesting, I scan everyone in the classroom earlier except for the few individuals, everyone seems a normal person, but it seems like I was wrong. I need to change my view of how I look at the perspective. I need to start using observation skills on everyone else. One thing is for sure; never underestimate any enemy.
“Then about the golden points, I think the wis stats was the best to unlock right now.
"Using the body enhancement make me fast enough, to increase my spd stats might increase the stress of my body. I haven’t increased my strength yet and I haven’t found the way to rise them."
She thought of going to the gym and trying to lift heavyweight. But just thinking of her body changing shape and form after raising her phy stats makes her hesitate.
“If I didn’t find anything else…” she rubs her temple, trying to ease the headache.
“Whatever, I’ll think about it later, what I need to do now if check what these points can do except for buying those two at the store.” Just mention the system store leave a bitter taste on her mouth
“Sigh” forget it, I’ll won’t expect anything next time.”
Then she looks at the status screen and breathes.

She looks at the new skill and ponders, due to her assorted skills, she never got a chance to raise telekinetic skill making it the lowest rank. It’s not that she wants to forget it, but her body was only can do much limitedly. Which so many skills on her plate, she can’t focus on a single one making the other skills proficiency very low.
That’s why in the next world, she will focus on honing her skills and not bite more than she can chew.
She then notices the 38,000 points on her status, she wonders what she can do with it-
> “Ding”
>
> “By paying points, you can increase your stats to the max limit.”
“…”
She felt tired retorting on the system when it suddenly became so useful. Maybe one day she will die of a heart attack because of blood pressure due to the system.
She tried clicking the phy stats
> “Would you like to increase +1 on phy? You need to spend 1,000 points.”
She looks at the number her points and bites her lips.
“I want to increase my stats badly… but I also need to buy the dimensional cube box.”
If she wants to increase all her stats to the max, she needs to spend a large number of points on it. But on the other hand, if she saves enough points without spending one, she can immediately buy the dimensional cube much earlier.
“If I’m going to finish the remaining two 1-star world, I’ll be able to buy the dimensional box. But…just the danger of this unknown world means my family and I can be in danger anytime without protection. Without strength, I’m just a cannon fodder here.”
The two worlds can be her chance to get stronger, it has danger yes, but base on how low the star rating is, it means it was manageable.
On the other hand, if she waited for the points to accumulate enough, she can buy the dimension cube much earlier.
“Do I need it?” she looks at the screen in indecision.
“The 2-star world can give me much richer rewards, but the danger and risk increase too…But if I can wait until that time comes, I can focus on increasing my stats right now.”
She crosses her arm and looks at the ceiling, she doesn’t know when she will get back to the lobby, maybe tomorrow, next week, next month, or next year. The system never explains how the rules work. She just theorizes what is the rule base on her experience.
