Everyone Else Has a System

"How long has it been that we have sat together like this? Perhaps it has been a decade already, hasn't it? Lucas, my dearest son. Tell me, how are you?"

"12 Years. 2 years before mom died," Lucas spoke with his eyes piercing William and William sighed without speaking anything.

From what I have known up until now, William was away on a long mission and because of some unfortunate event, he couldn't come back to Western Continent. By the time he had returned, it had already been 2 years since Lucas' mom died… no; she was captured by that monster.

'Should I tell them now or should I leave it as a surprise when the time comes?' I pondered a little before looking at the situation.

"You both will be accompanying me on a certain adventure. It will be about 3 weeks long trip and we will be visiting a couple of places," I spoke as I looked at Lucas and William and they both observed me for a few moments before William spoke,

"I don't mind it, but you have to convince him."

I then turned at Lucas who looked at me as if he would kill me. He then asked,"is it really necessary and there is no other way to do it?"

'Well, honestly there are other ways but I don't think I should take another person to save your mom so I'm gonna say 'no' to it,' I thought as I spoke,"If there were a way, I wouldn't have proposed it."

He looked at me for a few moments before standing up and beginning to leave as he spoke,"this better be really true."

"Meet me at the outside gate at sharp 7 PM," I said as I recalled the message that Annabeth sent me a few hours ago.

With this, all of my work was done and looking at the time, I still had about 2-3 hours left before our departure towards Merlin Rose. I then looked at William and spoke,

"I saw that you gave your sword to him."

"It was his to begin with. I was just holding on to it until the right time," he answered me before he asked,"is there anything else you called me here for?"

"Where is your vampire master? I haven't seen her in a while," I asked as I looked at William with a concentrated gaze.

Ever since I came to this Academy, I had kept an eye out for Lucia, but surprisingly, she was not here at all. While I don't care what happens to her, her hiding in the shadows kind of creeps me out.

"Hmmm… that is something you shouldn't get concerned with. It has nothing to do with you," he spoke as he stood up before continuing,"I take it as there are no more questions left."

He then began leaving from there and I turned to Cristine who was sitting there on the chair drinking a cup of tea and I pondered a little before asking,"you busy right now?" "I am busy drinking tea," she spoke with a slight smile as she took another sip and I chuckled before speaking,"Seems fair enough."

"How is their training going on?" I asked as I observed Christine and she shook her head before speaking,"Those three are monsters… I thought I had seen enough monsters in my life but they… they are in a league of their own. I have heard about Elizabeth and Lucy a lot, but I didn't think my own sister, Eliza, would turn into such a monster after her curse would be removed. Makes me a little jealous."

I saw a tinge of bitterness in her smile but she laughed it off and I spoke,"you too have a hidden potential within you. One that rivals Eliza's…. Wanna know it?"

I saw her eyes widening as she looked at me before she hurriedly spoke,"what's the catch?"

I smiled as I observed the hurry on her face and answered,"none."

"Huh?" she looked at me with a bit of stupefied expression before she asked,"what do you mean by 'none'?" and I smiled before speaking again,

"I am just feeling charitable at the moment, so I thought about giving some tips for free." She looked at me and then smiled brightly before shouting excitedly,"Nice!"

I then moved to sit at the seat and pointed at the chair against me as I looked at myself. Understanding my gesture, she hurriedly sat on the chair.

"Your System is related to souls, right?" I asked, and she nodded as she presented her System in front of me.
