Everyone Else Has a System

Chapter 240 Towards Rose Mansion

I stand near the door where I was looking at the clock while waiting for William and others to arrive. Meanwhile, I once again recalled whether I had missed anything and after looking through everything briefly, I couldn't find anything, so I just put this at the back of my mind.

"Looks like I made you wait," Williamson Rose arrived suddenly in front of me as I observed him wearing a black suit over his white shirt.

Soon enough, I saw Cristine and Eliza arriving as well behind as they wore matching pairs of blue-coloured dresses. Behind them, William and Lucas were coming towards us as well.

"Looks like you called quite a force," spoke Reeve, who appeared behind me and I saw Linda arriving with Rheo, who was simply walking beside her, confused at what was going on and why was he called on such a short notice.

Williamson, William, Lucas, Reeve, Linda, Rheo and Cristine… I guess that's all of them here. I guess Eliza came here to send her sister off.

"That's all of them I suppose?" Reeve spoke once again and I nodded before I saw a trio coming towards me. Looking at them, I was a bit surprised because I thought they would be really busy or something…

"Looks like you planned on departing without saying goodbye," spoke Annabeth as she looked at me with a slightly dissatisfied look. Elizabeth, who was strangely quiet today, was glancing over at me again and again before looking away.

The third girl was Adara, who was observing Lucas and the others who were with me. There was a surprised look on her face as she kept changing her expressions every time she looked at them.

"AH! I am late… Linda!!! How dare you leave me behind- Eeeek!! What's Miss Adara doing here?!!!" I saw Irene running towards us all huffing and puffing as she brought a bag which probably were filled with food and stuff for our journey.

"Well… We sure are gathering attention here," spoke William as he scanned around to see a crowd collecting around us. I looked at them and spoke.

"If you guys are going to say goodbyes… I give you 2 mins. We will be returning in a week, anyway." I observed them before moving to the side while the others began conversing with each other. Adara, Lucas and Annabeth were talking with each other, while Cristine, Eliza, and Elizabeth were busy with each other.

William was just busy on his own, while Williamson had received a call and was busy on the phone. As for Irene, she started talking with Reeve along with Linda, who was scared for some reason.

After 2 mins passed,

"All right. Let's leave," I spoke as I turned to Williamson, who was still talking to someone on the phone and asked,"shall we depart then?"

He nodded before pointing at a couple of cars in the distance. One by one, everyone who had to leave got inside the car and I turned to find Rheo just standing there and asked,

"Do you want to reach S-Rank?"

He looked at me with a wide-eyed expression as he observed me before nodding as he spoke,"of course I do."

"Then come," I said, and he hurriedly jumped into the car under the gaze of everyone there.

It was a luxurious car, with Williamson and I sitting at the front two seats. Behind us, Linda, Reeve and Lucas were sitting together.

As for the other car, William, Rheo, Cristine were sitting in that one with another driver from the Rose family who was taking them with us.

The car started and soon we departed from the Arcadia Academy, towards our one week-long journey… which in reality wasn't really one week honestly but still.. One week in Planet Vermillion's time.

…

[Eliza's POV]

I saw him leaving again.

Cristine told me he was going to a dangerous place to get something back.

'Wish he could take me as well…' I felt sad.. It kind of hurts that he didn't take me with him but took Cristine instead.

'Just what is it that I lack? Am I not strong enough for him? Or does he think I am too immature?' I questioned his decision a lot. I really, really wanted to go with him…

'Thankfully, Cristine doesn't like him… but what about that other girl, Linda?' I was getting jealous the more I was thinking.

"Why does he have so many girls around him?" I muttered in an irritated tone as I observed Miss Adara, Miss Annabeth, Miss Irene in front of me and then sighed as I shook my head before wondering just how come I fell in love with that person?

"Yeah… right. He saved my life… Without asking anything in exchange for," I muttered again in a defeated tone. 'That bastard… he said it was a deal… how come he still hasn't asked for my help then… I must be weak… In front of him, I must be really weak,' I kept thinking over and over before a voice snapped me out.

"You got a lot on your mind, eh?"

It had a melodious and soothing tone to it. It has been a while since I heard this voice.

"Lucia, you are here, huh?"

"Yeah. Yeah, I am here. Aren't you going to kneel in front of me… Hey! Hey! I was joking! I was joking! Don't look at me like that, will you?" Lucia spoke as she observed me with a smirk, getting replaced with a slightly scared look before she chuckled a little and I sighed as well.

-Bam!

I hit her head to channel the frustration I was having and it kind of felt better as I started smiling, too.

"Oww!! What was that for?" Lucia spoke as she rubbed her head gently as she looked at me with a confused expression.

"Nothing… They just left from here," I spoke with a sigh and she observed me with a nodding expression as she spoke,

"That they did. Though, I should start my own work here now. I am already a week behind schedule."

"Where were you busy, by the way?" I asked curiously. The normal plans were to visit here as soon as the class started but for some reason Lucia didn't come with us and her arrival was postponed… I wonder what happened.

"Oh that? Nothing.. Just that the Vampire King called me for something," she casually spoke before moving into the Arcadia Academy.
