Everyone Else Has a System

Chapter 212 Manipulation Is An Art#3

"So, Gloria will be fighting Campbell, Green and Cook all by herself. Is that correct?" Professor Hoffman spoke as he looked at the stats of three candidates. After confirming the overall situation and the difference between the two teams, he nodded as he spoke,"all right. It seems like there are no problems with this. You guys can move on the stage."

All the four girls moved on to the stage and with Gloria glancing at Rheo, who was about to fight with Paul as well on the next stage.

So, in total, there were two matches that were about to start right now, and I nodded at the situation before looking around and turning at Variel as he was looking at me. Jenkins had already been sent to the nurse, and Howard went with him.

'I guess I should pay them a visit after the class is over,' I thought as I looked at another classmate of mine, Thomas Wright, who was observing the whole thing with a nervous expression. His eyes were partially red and green, with his ability to summon monsters to fight for him.

'His ability is quite peculiar… while the summoners themselves aren't really useful… I wonder if I could form a team of summoners and use it in any way,' I thought as I looked at him. If I want to start my experimentation on Summoner Magic, Thomas was the best candidate.

-BOOM!!!!

I turned to look at Gloria, kicking Cook out of the ring, making her hit the wall at a distance and falling unconscious without being able to resist. The other two girls wanted to quit, but before they could do so, Gloria dashed towards Green, without giving her any chance to flee.

-Boom!!! And punched her hard making Green hit the ground.

"I…"

-BOOM!!!

Gloria punched her again… and again… and again… before turning her attention to Campbell… Campbell just looked at Green with a scared face as she ran away shouting,"I give up! I give up!"

Green looked at Campbell with a sad smile before she turned to Gloria, who was just looking at her without any particular emotions.

"Aren't you going to defeat me?" Green asked with a sad smile and Gloria went closer to her and muttered what I had asked her to. Green's eyes opened up wide in shock as she looked at Gloria, as if her darkest secret was revealed.

Gloria then moved out of the arena without speaking anything further and stood beside me with a casual expression. Professor Hoffman didn't speak any words for the next few moments.

"Ummm… Miss Cook wins the match," Professor Hoffman spoke with an odd face. Well, according to rule, Cook still hadn't given up while Gloria just moved out of the ring on her own accord, so officially it's Cook who has won the battle.

'Now, how are things faring there,' I thought as I turned to the battle between Rheo and Paul, who were faring on equal grounds. Normally, Rheo could have easily won the battle, but because he had already used some of his energy in defeating Jenkins, plus given the fact he will still not use most of his skills, the chances of him getting a clean win decreased by a margin.

Paul was a close range, fist fighter with the ability to enhance his fists similar to what I do to my muscles. He can enhance the power of his punches and kicks, while also being an expert in boxing and fist fighting.

He is someone who had been given a lesser share of what the three Icer brothers got, putting him at a disadvantage against his brothers. Though, he kind of barely made up for it by training excessively. Though, because he didn't even get a proper teacher, he could only develop his skills so much all by himself.

I saw Paul dodging Rheo's attack swiftly and counter attacking whenever he could. Unlike his rough behaviour, he was pretty calculated with his steps and attacks. He didn't let his anger and pride get in between this fight and was really giving his all… as for Rheo; he was smiling.

Rheo was enjoying this fight a lot… I don't know what really happened, but Rheo was not fighting anymore to defeat Paul.. he was purely enjoying the fight for the heck of it.

'It's not just Rheo… but Paul too, huh?' I thought as I saw the behavioural changes in Paul's eyes as he began enjoying the fight… though the fight didn't take long as Rheo started using a few more skills and began taking over Paul at a much faster rate.

While Paul could handle the pain from Rheo's attacks, there was still a limit. Also, given how much ego Paul has, I doubt he was going to give up… so the match would probably end when Paul would lose consciousness…

Since this is settled here, let's move to the next step,

"Gloria. Tell Cook to come with us, after the class is over… that should be in about 15 more minutes."

I spoke and then moved towards the exit as I spoke,"I probably won't need to fight today, so I will be going. Meet me at the training area in about 5 hours. Tell Rheo and Variel to come as well… See ya."

It's around 11 AM right now, so I still have time till 4PM… I guess I could check out Jenkins and Howard, while I still have time. Also, it would be better if I could see other classes as well… wonder how they are doing.

"Exactly what are you trying to do here?" Gloria asked as she turned around and saw me leaving and I turned to her, smiled before speaking,"nothing special, just creating an empire. Hope that satisfies your curiosity."

She looked at me for a few moments before speaking,"it just kind of raised too many questions," looking at me confusingly and I nodded at her as I spoke,

"I guess so. Now, I should leave… I have a couple of things I need to finish."
