While Professor Haywin was issuing his lecture, Lilia on the other hand was already advance reading the english texts and lessons. However, at the same time, she was also listening to the lecture.
This was something Lilia has ever since she was little. It was the skill of multitasking.
That's right, Multitasking. Being exposed in the gaming scene have developed Lilia's multitasking skill to a degree of being a master to it.
Due to this, Lilia can do more than that of the average person.
Fluent speaking....
Sentence building....
Prepositions....
Continuously, not stopping. The system bell notification kept ringing on Lilia's head like a ringtone.
*Ding* *ding* *ding*
Silently closing the textbook. Lilia then just looked at the podium blankly.
The topic that Professor Haywin was discussing was the basic sentence identification. Something that Lilia have already skimmed past through.
Seeing that it isn't that much interesting, Lilia then raised her hand and said,
"May i take a leave for the session?"
As she said this, every single person in class looked at her.
Followed by that, were murmurs from the students in the class.
"Hey. You did say that she is diligent right?"
"Yeah.."
"Then is she trying to skip class?"

"I thought she likes studying.."
"Yeah, I thought so too."
On the far left of the auditorium, were the trio that Lilia met earlier. Shawn, Myne, Kate.
Lilia was still wearing her hoodie. So when she stood up and asked for the leave, the trio still didn't saw her face.
"To think that someone's still trying to skip class when it already started."
"Mhmm, mhmm"
"Hmph, good thing I, the great Kate, never skips class. So all should follow my ways."
"You always sleeps in class, so no."
*Sad murmurs*
Professor Haywin looked at Lilia and asked.
"Why so Ms. Evergreen?"
Not paying attention to the murmurs, Lilia answered straightly.
"Something urgent came up and i received a message that I'm needed there."
Hearing this, Professor Haywin looked at Lilia sternly, likewise, Lilia closed her eyes and made no clumsy muscle movements.
As this was happening, the students started to feel uncomfortable. Even the trio began to feel uneasy at such a situation.
After some moments, Professor Haywin finally gave in.
Opening one eye and seeing Professor Haywin's face expression giving in, Lilia secretly smile within her head.
However,
"Alright, Ms. Evergreen. You may go, however. You are to be supervised."
*Crack*
"Huh... Huh???"
"Su-supervised???"
Looking at Lilia's dumbfounded face, Professor Haywin said sternly.
"Yes. You are to be supervised. My colleague here, Alessandro, will be the one to supervise you."
Right after Professor Haywin said this, Lilia then slowly looked at Professor Haywin's colleague with a dubious expression.
Professor Haywin's colleague, Alessandro, on the other hand, kept looking back at Lilia and Professor Haywin himself.
"Bu.... Ah...."
"No objections Ms. Evergreen. Remember, you still owe me a favor."
Lilia was silenced when she heard this.
"Si-sir, is this really necessary?" Asked Alessandro.

Professor Haywin looked at Alessandro and said blankly.
"Do it or I'll tell your performance to the director."
.....
"Why did it have to be like this..."
Walking down the hallway, with 1 arm rubbing her forehead and the other carrying her other arm rubbing the forehead, Lilia couldn't help but groan inwardly.
"Sys! This is probably your doing isn't it???"
"No host. This is clearly mother nature taking over."
"With all of your schemes and tricks, do you honestly believe that I would believe you?"
"Well. Wether you like it or not, that's what happened host. So, deal with it like a pro. Don't forget to do it with style."
Hearing such things from the system, Lilia's respect and tolerance level to the system have dropped to nearly 0 percent.
"Why you?!!"
"Ah excuse me?"
"Ahiiii!!!"
Taking three steps back, setting herself up in a defensive position which she just took from guild wars 2. Lilia looked at Alessandro with hostility glaring in her eyes.
Likewise, Alessandro gave an flustered look at Lilia.
"What do you want?" Said Lilia with a bit of a tone.
Scratching his head and not minding Lilia's tone, Alessandro said with a forced smile,
"I want nothing really, but were are we going exactly?"
"I'll tell you if you leave me alone and let me go free."
"Then how am I going to know where your going if I'm leaving."
"You won't."
"..."
"..."
*Cold wind blowing through* (sound effects)
With the deafening silence of the hallway caused by Lilia and Alessandro, a rythmatic walking was suddenly heard.
"Heto-heto. Uuuuuu"
"Mimi, I've been here for two days already..... And not a single one is here..... I'm tired.... So-so tired...."
"Heeeeh..... Mimi...... Don't be too cruee....l eh?"
"Eeeeeeehhhhh........ Heh....."
A girl, Blonde hair, ponytail, somewhere around 15-16, came into both Alessandro and Lilia's view.
"Hi...hi?"
Hearing such a response, a meek one at that. Both of them gave a unified,
"Hello?"
After that, the atmosphere seemed to have tensed by a large degree but at the same time, the levels of awkwardness have reached unbelievable degrees.
Why?
Well first of all, a girl and a guy, walking down the hallway, can be described in to the "the guy is stalking the girl scene." But with Lilia's troubled expression, it can only be translated to "a guy trying to fix an injured relationship with his girlfriend."
Although it could have been fine at first, with someone coming in randomly, especially at the time when Lilia was looking at Alessandro with a troubled expression.
All one could say is "ay-yaya."
Second, was the girl with a blonde ponytail.
She came in like daydreaming and was even talking to herself.
More so, she came at the time where Lilia was telling Alessandro to buzz off. To others perspectives however, it could be a girlfriend, telling her boyfriend, to buzz off!
Oh no!!
"He-hey!"
"I-i'm sorry!! I'm sorry for disturbing your lover doodle time!!!"
Hearing this, Alessandro himself have then staggered.
"He-hey! You there! Were not lovers!"
"Not lovers?" Said the girl with the blonde ponytail with an doubtful look on her face.
That doubtful look however, soon turned into of shock and then fear.
"A-ah! Th-then..."
"Ahhh!!!! I'm sorry if I messed up in your private married life!!!!" Said the girl as she ran.
Lilia and Alessandro stood there like dumb ducks hearing that.
"What private married life??!!" They both yelled in unison within their minds.

Ars Magica
Our vision comes back into focus. Our eyes, while being able to perceive the immediate surroundings, still leave us with our minds uncomprehending towards what is actually occurring. Sure, there are definitive things that we can focus on, like the fact that we're either out upon the open sea or the open ocean, there not being much of a difference with no land in sight, as well as the fact that we appear to be upon a haphazardly constructed metal boat, whose seams are barely able to keep a hold of themselves in the crashing waves. However, that does not let us understand what exactly is causing the waves in the first place. If we were to rewind time, we'd find ourselves upon a calm sea under a peaceful sky with the only difference, being a small whirlpool that would be the precursor towards this uproar around the boat. Lightning flashes in the sky, with no clouds being near, and anyone actually manning the boat has either died towards the cause of the smashing tides in the first place, or are fighting amongst the flashes of lightning, all while trying not to become devoured, demolished, and utterly decimated by the beast roiling in the whirling waves. To better understand exactly what is happening here, there is one singular event that needs to be understood, that needs to be explained, and that is the arrival of a creature named Dave. Stepping back from current events and going towards this creature's first appearance in the world, we begin to hear the sound of water slowly dripping across rocky ground. The cavern is utterly silent except for this one constant, its cause feeding channels downwards, sloping towards cracks in the rubble along the floor from broken stalagmites and stalactites. And there, lying on top of something which had fallen over recently, judging from its cracks, is a person, the creature named Dave. His form is fast asleep, either from the impact or from an intoxication, judging from the smell upon its breath. A bright light suffuses into it for a second, giving life towards the pale skin, before it slowly dies down back to the comfortable black of the cave that it's within. Before this moment in time, Dave did not exist in the physical world. At least, not in the reality that he finds himself born into. We do not know whether or not his existence is simply a cosmic joke, or something that is being played out on purpose. All that we do know, is that one moment, the body was not in the cave, and simply formed in the next. The actual earliest time that we know Dave exists, is the interpolation of the memories of J-209, which we'll begin looking into shortly to gain context towards the coming narrative that is being written and hastily trying to keep itself written. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Warning: This story has several things which might turn its readers away. The first is that this story has shifting points of perspective. Don't worry about that previous sentence too much though, as the main character will always have a first person perspective associated with them. However, any other character from which we're viewing the story from will either be in third-person, as we are not necessarily in their shoes at the moment, or in first person, given that the narrator is an actual physical presence within the story. For the most part, chapters will be self-contained with their perspectives, so there will not be an abundance of switching perspectives within the same chapter. The most that an average reader would have to worry about is the fact that perspectives can switch between chapters. The second thing is that the main character is a bit on the 'special' side of things. He's not exactly mentally there most of the time, so there will be some times that his personality or his thoughts do not actively align with his actions. The third, and final thing of importance, is the fact that past the first couple of chapters, nothing has been planned in advance. There are arcs and plots that I want to do, want to implement, or have already been set into motion from our main character's introduction to the world, but the method that I use for my story writing and generating leads towards a bit more random chance being enabled. Basically...there's a lot of dice rolling behind the scenes. To not complicate the story further than its regular LitRPG elements, the rolls will not be publicly available. However, there will be knowledge within the author's notes on whether or not there were positive or negative critical rolls that had occurred within the chapter. You have been warned. Updates: Mondays & Fridays (Schedule permitting) Typical Chapter Length: (2,000-3,000)
