《The World seems Realistic but Why do I have a Leveling System? 》Chapter 6: Mother's Happiness
Advertisement
Inside the teacher's office, Sheila can be seen being lectured by a female teacher regarding playing smartphone inside her class. Sheila could do nothing but just endured it with her willpower. After 30 minutes passed, Sheila walked away like a zombie out of the office. She could feel her ears were still ringing from the teacher's 'kind' lecture. Thankfully, the teacher didn't take away her smartphone, or she won't know what to do.
Before going to class, she decided to visit the restroom first. When she arrived at the girl's bathroom, she immediately went inside one of the stalls and locked the door before fishing out her smartphone from her right pocket.
『 The Quest issued by the System has been accepted. 』
『 Current progress: 0% 』
If she remembers correctly, the message said something about the 'system' listening to her, the host's complaint and decided to upgrade the Quest System. Now, this answer one of her question from back then. The system could definitely listen to her speaking one way or another but 'it' could not respond due to her being a low level which is why it decided to upgrade the quest system, or at least that's what she comes up with. She wonders what would happen if she gets her level high enough for the system to respond to her. But then again, she doesn't know on what level does it 'unlocked' or achieved the requirements. In the end, all these were what she comes up with, not an actual thing but only from little clues.
Looking at the time at the upper screen, she turned off her phone before putting it back in her pocket as she walked out the restroom.

The next day.
Ring Ring Ring!
Sara slowly opened her eyes before moving her hands toward the clock and turned off the alarm. She slides away from her bed before heading her way toward the kitchen downstairs. Like any other days, she woke up earlier to make the breakfast for her and Sheila before both of them heading out to school/work. But today she seems happier than usual.

Sara has been managing a company for a few years now, and so, she had picked up some skills from all the experience. One of the said skills involves her emotions. She has never shown her real emotion whenever she's at the company or outside. The only times that she let out her real feelings was when her daughter is involved, or she's at home like right now.
Yesterday, she was cleaning the house when her daughter comes back home from school. When her daughter noticed the figure of her doing the housework, Sheila put down her bag and decided to help Sara while still wearing her school uniform. Usually, her daughter would have already gone to her bedroom and waste her time on games like any other day, which is why she was happy when her daughter wants to help her with the housework. Because she was in a good mood, she decided to cook up a good breakfast for her daughter rather than heating the cold food that she bought from a convenience store. After putting the food on the dining table, she looked at the clock on the wall and decided it's time to wake her daughter up. Sheila would have woken up by herself if it wasn't for the weekend since she got her alarm set beforehand.
Sara arrived in front of her daughter's room, and she knocked on the door before calling out her daughter.
"Sheila~ Are you still asleep? It's time to wake up, or your breakfast will get cold."
Afterwards, she waits for a reply from her daughter, but after a few minutes, she opened the door and went inside and saw that Sheila was still asleep. She sits beside her sleeping daughter and gives her a nudge on the shoulders before calling her again.

"Sheila~ Wake up, it's morning, and your favourite breakfast will get cold."
"…five more minutes."
Sheila muttered softly before going back to slumber as her mind is still muddled from the sleep. Looking at how tired her daughter is, she wonders if Sheila ended up playing games all night long. That's the only conclusion that she comes up with, and it is considered half the truth. After about five or more minutes, Sheila woke up.

After filling up her hungry stomach with food, she went upstairs back to her room before picking up her phone at the table by the side of her bed. She had to spend all night to completed half of the quests. The only left now is to exercise, and the final one will be unlocked. She wonders what kind of quest would the last show up with. Thankfully, today is weekend, and she could definitely finish the quest by either today or tomorrow. Sheila clicked on the exercise quest, and the window pops up.

Last night when she was playing games to complete the quest, she had come upon an idea and decided to do some little exercise while she's at it. She felt out of breath after doing it ten times and stopped there before continued on the games until late at night. She changed her outfit into a workout one before heading out, but she happens to meet her mother on the way to the front door. Her mother reaction was way obvious as the shocked expression was splattered all over her face.
"Is the sun rising from the West today? Wearing that outfit… are you really my daughter?"
Sara asked her daughter while still in shocked at the sudden development. Sheila, her daughter… for the first time in her life decided to go out to jog? It was not her fault for thinking like that as her daughter never in her life does exercise as she won't get fat even if she eats a lot, just like her. But from time to times, She did some exercise to keep her current body figure. It was not because she was afraid as the age come, her body will slowly wilt. Even if the world comes to an end, she wouldn't agree on that.
"That's rude… I also do exercise from time to times, okay?"
"Alright, Let's go with that. Fufufu."
Sheila departed from home while being watched by her mother, who was smiling in happiness at her.
