Everyone Else Has a System

Chapter 189 Arcadia Academy#16

"So, what's it going to be?"

Peter looked at the others, while Michael and Sabrina were looking at each other. Amelia was casually smiling at me as she observed the whole situation getting more and more under my control. Micheal, in the end, just sighed before speaking, "Do whatever you want… if I don't like it I will just run away."

I see him walking away and Sabrina looks at him going before observing me and speaking,"I am with him," and then walking away as well. As for Peter, he was just standing there for a few moments, trying to understand the pros and cons of the whole situation.

He then turns to me and says,"I will join your army… but I have my own demands," and I nodded at him before speaking,"we can discuss that later. For now, you should relax and I too have some things I need to discuss with the Principal."

Peter nodded at me before leaving, and the only ones that were left were Amelia and I. She transforms herself back into her original form, the little girl, which I saw when I first met her here and moves closer to me.

"You really are a scary person, you know?" she speaks with a mysterious smile on her face while I smirked at her before speaking,"says the one who manipulated everything that happened in this room as if it were child's play."

Amelia had already set up a trap that anyone who walks out of this room without her permission would die. Despite the consequence of incurring the wrath of the Western King, she took the risk of almost killing Michael Lorentz.

"In a way, Michael owes me now," I said before closing my eyes and saying,"I don't think…" I then opened my eyes and stared deeply into Amelia's as I continued,"you did this to test the others?"

She chuckled a little before speaking,"you are really smart too, you know?"

"Not the answer I wanted to hear," I spoke with a slight sigh before speaking,"so. Why did you call me here?"

She looked at me with a mysterious look before speaking,"nothing. I just wanted to confirm something, and I have already done it. You may go now," and then vanishing from there without speaking any further.

Silence covered the area as I was the only one left there for a few moments before I too walked back to where the others were. My next destination was to meet Adara.

Walking out of the room, I turned towards the stadium where the others were supposed to be, however reaching there, I found no one there. In fact, it was completely empty, so I moved towards the nearest teacher I could see.

Though he looked at me as if he wanted to kill me… perhaps not bowing was a really big deal for them. I then moved on my own and tried searching for the dorm room nearby or anyone I knew who could tell me where the rooms were.

Lucky for me, I met someone I knew at a distance who was just casually walking with a bunch of fruits in her hand.

"Eliza!" I spoke, and she turned at me before smiling wide and running towards me. I saw her coming at me with incredible speed and then

-Bam!

"Oww!" I spoke as I saw her pushing me down on the floor and sitting on my abdomen. She was still smiling like crazy and then she spoke,"Zero! How are you?!!"

"I go by the name Aidan here," I spoke as I looked at her for a few moments before continuing,"can you get off me first?"

She nodded as she chuckled before moving off from me and speaking,"why did you leave all of a sudden? Everyone was really missing you, you know?" and I shook my head before saying,"there was little point in staying there, so I just left."

"At least you could have informed us. Cristine was really mad when you left without telling anything but Lucia calmed her down by saying that we were going to meet you here anyway," Eliza spoke as she grabbed a bite of her apple and I too grabbed an apple from her basket and started eating it as well.

"Well. I don't think there was anything to get angry about there," I shrugged a little before asking,"so where were you going?"

"To the dorms, I was actually buying some fruits and other midnight snacks before going to sleep. Cristine decided that we would explore the city after we get up," she said as she thought about it, and I nodded at that.

While exploring right away is not entirely wrong, doing it one step at a time is actually better. Plus, you probably won't be needing to use all the facilities in the Academy anyway but only those which suit your needs and wants. I believe it would be actually better to use the internet provided by the Academy to find out the best way to enhance your ability and skills, and also what form of training would be best for you.

I gave a few pointers to Eliza, and she nodded, saying that William had already told the same to Cristine and her. Well, I asked her a couple of more questions and it looked like she already knew everything and how to proceed in the Academy as well.

"Perhaps most of the high rankers would follow the same procedure as well… hmmm that makes me think, when should I put my schedule out… I guess I will see it according to the classes I'll have to attend," I thought before turning to the boys going in the same direction.

'Maybe the dorms are in the same place,' I thought as I turned to Eliza and said,"I guess I would be going my own way then," and she nodded before we both separated.

After walking a few more minutes, I saw the dorms and nodded at it. I then moved back and started moving in the opposite direction as I vanished from there.

It took me about 30 minutes but I reached the Student Council office, however it was empty. I checked a few more places, but Adara wasn't there, so I kind of just sighed before moving back to the dorm.

'Maybe I will see her tomorrow,' I thought before moving towards the dorm. The dorms of the Arcadia Academy were really lavish with one room per person and each room was really well furnished to the finest details.

It had almost everything you can desire to the basics, and rather than giving an Academy vibe, it had this strange sensation of home in it. Probably the effect of an artefact to make people more comfortable here.

'Arcadia Academy doesn't pull its punches for nothing, huh?' I thought as I moved towards the bed and started taking off my clothes before changing into my nightdress.

-Thud

I fell on the bed and let myself drown in the coziness as I enjoyed every bit of the feeling that I was getting from it. Calling it relaxing would be an understatement. This was far cozier than anything I have felt since I arrived in this timeline.

'Wonder how the students get out of the bed?' I thought before falling deep asleep and not waking up till later afternoon. When I saw the time, I realised that I had slept for quite a long time today.

'Maybe all that working has drained a lot of my mental energy,' I thought as I stretched a little and stood up before changing into my normal dress. Our academic uniform would be provided to us tonight before 8:00 PM or something, if I was not wrong.

I got out of the dorm and reached the stadium where the ranking battles were taking place and surprisingly or unsurprisingly, the Unorthodox ones were already done with my position in the last.

'Perhaps, they didn't bother to call me after what I had done yesterday… hmmm good for me,' I thought as I observed the matches being held at full throttle as everyone was trying their best.

Unlike yesterday, the matches today were randomised with each person fighting at least 5 matches before their rank was finalised. Later on, people would be allowed to challenge higher rank ones in a 5 round battle and have to win at least 4 of them in order to take over their rank.

'Though that would start from tomorrow,' I thought as I observed the matches before my eyes turned to Adara, who was observing me from a distance. Slowly walking towards her, I reached her in a few minutes and I saw Lucas and Dalton, along with another guy, standing along with them. That guy, noticing me, made a really really curious face before ignoring me all together.

I too ignored him before moving towards Adara and speaking,"Morning, Love. How are you doing?"
