After the class, the female combat teacher summoned Sylvia to her office.
Sylvia knocked on the door when she reached the door.
"Come in." The female teacher answered from inside.
Sylvia opened the door and walked in.
"Oh." Seeing Sylvia walked in, the female teacher stopped working on what she was doing, and got to her feet. "You're here."
"Hello." Sylvia greeted.
"Come. Take your seat." The female teacher motioned to the empty seat in front of her. After she saw that Sylvia was seated, she sat back down on her seat. "I called for you after seeing your battle in the combat class room. That was quite brave of you." The female teacher smiled. "My name is Celia. You can call me teacher Celia."
"Yes, teacher Celia." Sylvia answered.
"Actually, the reason I called for you is because I would love you to participate in the inter-school competition." Teacher Celia stated. "Don't worry, you won't actually participate in the fighting, but be in the audience to watch them fight. The seniors would be the one to fight. The school just need some representatives from each class to attend the competition."
"Okay." Sylvia readily agrees. As long as she's not fighting, then it's fine.
"That's great. I'll add your name among the participants then. The competition is still a year away from now, so be at ease."
"Then I'll get going." Sylvia stood up and left the office.
After school, Sylvia dropped by a shop where beast cores are sold. She had already promised Susu to get him some beast core, so she must keep to her promise.
She pushed opened the door, making a slight chime of bell.
"Welcome." The staff at the counter greeted when he saw her entered. "Would you like to see the newest cores in the shop? Here are the new varieties we have." The staff handed Sylvia a small tab, which displayed all the cores available in the shop.
Sylvia was marveled when she saw the price of each beast core. She saw a B class ferocious beast core which was more expensive than an A class beast core.
Seeing that she was glancing at the B beast core, the staff quickly introduced, "That's a thousand years old fire Rhinoceros beast core. Beast core strength are classified by the adept age of the beast. The older a beast is, the more powerful it is, and so is its beast core."
"Oh. Get me this, this and this then." Sylvia pointed at the fire Rhinoceros beast core and two A class beast core.
"That would be five hundred million coins." The staff gulp as he pronounced.
Five hundred million was a huge amount.
Those who always visits their shop to buy beast core of higher grade were all of high calibers, and always come in expensive cars.
However, this girl was only wearing a school uniform belonging to a certain academy.
There wasn't any car parked outside, which shows that the student didn't came with one.
The staff started having other thoughts whether Sylvia was playing a joke on him.
"Here." Sylvia took out her bank card.
"Uh, Oh…yes." The staff took the card and swipe it over a terminal. The five hundred million was deducted and the staff handed back the card. "Wait a second for your goods." The staff quickly type on the shop system and a packaged box was brought out by a robot, after the staff finished typing.
The staff took the box from the robot and hand it to Sylvia.
"Thanks for your patronage." The staff smiled.
She collects the box and left the shop.
Sylvia arrived home. She saw Asher in the sitting room, eating the cupcakes she baked this morning, while watching some kids content show.
She greeted and kissed him on the cheeks before she went up to her room.
She threw her bag on the couch and sat on her bed, opening the newly goods she just purchased.
Three beast cores of different color laid inside the box.
Sylvia took two beast cores belonging to the A class and said to some certain system, "This is for you to absorb."
[Thanks so much, host.]
The beast core in Sylvia hand suddenly turned to powder.
"Have you upgraded?" She asked, piqued with curiosity.
[This is just a piece of iceberg. It'll take a lot of this to get me upgrade. If I can see hundreds of the core I absorb the first time, I'll be able to upgrade to the next stage.]
Hundreds of SSS class beast cores? Why don't you just kill her.
"Life is step by step, so you should take things slowly." Sylvia advised.
[But host, I'm a data.]
"Data and life, they're similar."
[Oh, I got it, host.]
"I'll start absorbing the beast core then. Don't disturb me."
[What about the host brother.]
"Inform me if there's anything wrong with Asher. The rest, you can take care of it."
[Okay host!]
Sylvia didn't get why the other party was so energetic after listening to her, but she didn't bother, and shut her eyes to start absorbing the energy in the beast core.
Back in the sitting room, the robot Bai who stood in the corner of the room eyes suddenly quivered, before it regains it clarity. However, this time, it wasn't the robot Bai but Susu instead.
'Bai' moved from where it was and stood beside Asher.
"Bai." Asher noticing someone beside him turned around and saw that it was Bai. "Do you also want to watch? It's already at the scene where Jack found his lost shoe."
Although 'Bai' didn't know the Jack that lost his shoe, but it still focuses on the huge virtual screen.
...
It took a lot of time for Sylvia to finished absorbing the whole energy in the core.
Maybe it's because her strength is too low, her rate of absorption was quite slow.
However, she felt full and energetic after opening her eyes.
Could she have upgrade?
Sylvia hurriedly went to the training room in the Vila to test her strength.
She punch on a surface use for testing combat strength to test her combat strength. A score of 350 appeared on the screen with a bold letter C.
C? Did she just upgrade from E to C class.
Come, let's check my mental strength.
She hurried to the mental strength tester and infused her mental energy into it.
Her mental energy was also upgraded, but by a class. Her mental strength which was previously F, is now at E class.
That's a huge improvement.
Sylvia nodded after seeing the results, and walked out of the training room. The sky outside the window was already dark.
She suddenly remembers that she hadn't prepared dinner for Asher. So, she hastily rushed down the stairs.
However, Asher wasn't in the sitting room. Instead, the robot Bai was standing in the center of the room. There seems to be a fragrance of food in the air.
Wait a minute, did someone come in to cook?
'Bai' noticing Sylvia coming down from the stairs, turned and moved towards her.
"You don't need to worry about Asher. He's already been tucked into his bed by me. Also, I made dinner."
"Su…Susu?" She called to confirm her suspicious.
"Yes, host."
"What are you doing inside Bai? When did Asher go to bed? I was very absorbed in meditation, so I woke up late."
"Two hours ago. I made dinner for him to eat before going to bed. Don't worry host, you can leave the household chores to me. Susu can now multitask so it'll make things easier for you. Look, I made dinner." Susu moved towards the dining area. Sylvia followed and saw several dishes on the table.
"Okay then." Sylvia agreed.
I mean who else wouldn't agree having a load off its shoulder.
And besides, the other party was Susu whom she trusted, so she sat down and start to eat.
"Hmm." Sylvia widened her eyes when she tasted the food.
How come this is so delicious. Could it be that Susu has opened another skill called 'perfect chef'.
This is so good.
"You'll be in charge of the food now. I'll reward you with beast cores next time."
[Thanks so much host.] This time Susu voice sounded in her head.
She finished eating her dinner before going to bed. The robot Bai who was now Susu, cleared the plates to clean them up.
...
The next morning, breakfast was already on the table. Sylvia come out with the dressed Asher.
The cookies Asher was to take to school for his classmates had already been prepared by 'Bai'.
Sylvia saw them and was envious of how perfectly shaped they were.
"Sister, these cookies look like Jack from the adventure show." Asher pointed to a cookie made from his favorite character show. "I would show it Ayaan. He also like watching Jack adventure."
"Sure. Now let's eat before the bus arrived."
"Okay." Asher grinned happily and ate. The bus arrived and Asher left for school.
As a good system, Susu also prepared a lunchbox for his host.
"Thanks." She patted 'Bai' on the head before going out into uncle Mike's car.
Mike saw the box she was holding and asked, "What's that?"
"Lunch." Sylvia answered.
"Your cooking is so great. How I wish I could taste them every time." Mike wished he could have a lunchbox also.
Sylvia almost rolled her eyes, knowing what the other party was hinting at and said, "I'll prepare yours tomorrow."
"Really? Thanks so much." Mike smiled foolishly.
Sylvia was dropped off at school. After waving bye to Mike, She blend in with the crowd and walked to her class.
Morning was study session, so everyone was reading. Sylvia was reading and Susu kept talking about what the students in the school were doing.
Early this morning, Susu had hacked into the school system, and had control over the whole school camera.
If Sylvia wanted to set up an underworld agency, she could have made use of Susu hacking skills.
However, Sylvia had no interest in that, and warned Susu to take it easy. The other party was like a curious rat, and didn't know when he would land into the cat territory.
However, when Sylvia heard of Susu reason, she let it be.
The other party and Sylvia were in a strange world with limited knowledge. If this was earth, then it's still good. But it isn't.
Sylvia brain could only know some general information about this world, and skip the important ones.
For example, she didn't know about this era law. If not for Susu greed for knowledge, she would still be in the dark about some certain things.
Sylvia also encourage, "I'll get you a lot of beasts cores if you work hard."
A shadow suddenly reflected over Sylvia whose head was bowed in a book, but rather discussing with a certain system.
Sylvia looked up and saw a boy in front of him.
"Cough… hum. Student Sylvia." The boy cheek turned red when he saw her staring at him. "I…my name is Julian. I saw that students Sylvia is quite knowledgeable on beast information. So, I was wondering if I could study with you."
