Everyone Else Has a System

Chapter 140 Irene#4



"Well then. Let's talk about the deal, shall we?"

I spoke, and she looks at me with a serious expression before she nods a little and I continue,

"I need you to sign a mana contract that you will follow my three commands every month till you are enrolled at Arcadia Academy. Those commands will have nothing to do with your personal life directly, nor will they have any particular effect on your life. Will that be fine?"

She looks at me a bit confused before speaking,"Can I add my own conditions to the contract? There are some things I would not do even if it costs my life, so pardon my rigidity."

I look at her and nod as I speak,"Let's reach a reasonable conclusion," before handing a mana contract to her as I write the deal I have mentioned right now. What I had to do in return was to help her become strong enough to defeat at least an S-Rank opponent while also telling her about the secrets pertaining to Lunas which I could tell her without any problem whatsoever.

She then looks at it carefully before adding a few points of her own and once she was done, I looked at the mana contract carefully for a few seconds before nodding at it.

It was a bunch of things like I can't make her do something that would get her punished by the faculty of the Academy, and something that would hurt her family and a few similar things.

Surprisingly, she didn't mention me getting… or perhaps using her. Is she an idiot, or perhaps she is that determined? Whatever the case be…

I then put a drop of blood on the contract to seal the deal and she does too… and with this I just got another ally that I can manipulate according to my will. Perhaps this was fate, too? To get a Luna working under me… that too Royalty? Damn, I must have used all my luck points on this.

'But to think she is Royalty? Wonder how high up into the royalty she is,' I thought as I looked at her. How do I know about her being Royalty? Well, the answer is in the symbol, while normal Lunas are similar to Royal Lunas, Royal Lunas have a symbol etched on their back to show their higher status. That symbol is something they are born with and could not be replicated in any form.

The reason I guessed her to have the Royalty symbol, was because of the fact she survived this long without depending upon the Lunar Mana, which a normal Luna couldn't have really done… unless of course they are really special; a Royal.

"With this, we have a deal now. Though, I would love to help you out immediately. I guess it would be better if we could finish the business we have here in this place," I say as I take a sip of the coffee, heating it once again.

She too drinks hers slowly and slowly as she nods. Once we were done here, Irene decided that it would be better if we got to herbs first, as they were on the way to Linda's house.

So for the next hour or so, we kept thrift shopping for herbs and I did find a few herbs I was looking for, while also finding a couple of herbs I thought would be better to keep with me and see if I can use them later.

And after I was done with all the herbs, I asked Irene to take me to Linda's house. It won't be proper to not meet a friend when you are so close to their house…

Though Irene looked at me with a slightly odd look before shaking her head and then taking me to her. Irene made a few lefts and rights before reaching a relatively isolated corner. There were a few hoodlums as well and looking at us coming towards them, they started laughing among themselves.

One of them stood up and started walking towards us… I saw his eyes that had nothing but pure lust in them. I sighed before moving forward and Irene, watching that guy coming toward us, made an odd expression, wondering why he was looking at her the way he was.

In fact, she was a little scared too as she got a bit closer to me and a few moments later; he was standing in front of us.

'Looks like he finally noticed me,' I thought as that guy then turned to me and then as he was about to speak something, his expression changed. His eyes turned half dead and his face… well, it turned expressionless.

He took out a gun and a knife before turning around and then looking at his 'friends' and then…

-Bang!!

-Bang!!

-Bang!!

-Bang!!

He started shooting at them aiming at their non-vital parts before running towards them with his knife, with the same expressionless look. His friends, confused and horrified, started frantically running away from him and he followed them as fast as he could.

"What… just happened?" I heard Irene asking in a low voice, as her eyes couldn't comprehend what they were looking at. Perhaps she didn't notice it but she was subconsciously holding my arm… looks like she was really scared there, I suppose.

"Nothing… just normal people doing 'normal' things," I spoke with a smile as my eyes turned green again from the previous red.

"I am… not that much of an idiot… that isn't normal in any way possible…you did something again, didn't you?" She asks as she turns at me with slight amazement in her eyes and I, turning at her, speak with a smile again,

"Who knows?"

I then started walking again, and she did too before we finally reached Linda's house and she used her mobile phone to call her rather than ringing the bell saying,"she is somewhere in a corner of this house, with her earphones plugged in and knocking won't do the trick."

"Yeah, Linda. I am here… okay," she then cuts the call and then a few moments later the door opens…

"Hey, you are late-" Linda stopped in between as her eyes reached me and I simply smiled as I answered,"sorry, I was doing some work."
