Everyone Else Has a System

Chapter 77 Meeting At The Airport

-And today we will be looking at the findings of the crash of flight no. 176 that was flying from Bluemoon City to Arcadia City. With 347 deaths and only 2 survivors, it was really tragic what happened to those people. The current…

The flight to Iredale will take another hour before it takes off, still Zero was sitting in the waiting area at the airport. Wearing a thin black coat over his white shirt and a black jeans he was currently reading a diary which includes a number of things he needed to do in the Iredale Castle where Mark Leeway and his family resides.

"Hey! Can I sit here?" a certain young woman of about 18 asked Zero as she pointed at the empty seat right beside his. Zero nodded before shifting a bit and then immersed himself back in the diary. The blonde-haired lady, a bit curious about what he was reading, took a peek in his diary and what she saw made her confused as she turned to Zero before asking,"What… are you doing?"

? Zero turned to the lady and took a clear look at her. Blonde, green eyes with a mark of Profisportler that said that she was a pro athlete and a golden wristband with a white-coloured emblem embossed on it that showed that she was an alumnus of the Arcadia Academy.

'Hmmm… nope, I don't remember her. Well, I guess I could entertain her a bit to pass the time,' Zero thought as he spoke,"I have an ink and a special sight customized exclusively for me that allows me to write with letters that only I could see and read."

Hearing his words, a slightly amazed expression appears on the face of that girl as she exclaims while grabbing his arms,"that's so cool!!" she had stars sparkling in her eyes as she shook Zero without caring about the looks the others were giving her and Zero.

"What's yo-Mmmph Mph.." Zero blocked her mouth with his hand as he glared at her before speaking,"will you calm down? You are gathering unnecessary attention."

"COUGH COUGH!!" A loud cough came from the side and both Zero and the blonde girl turned to the other side, only to find three heavenly beauties standing there.

Looking at them, everyone at the airport was dumbfounded, as they couldn't help but keep gazing at them. The blonde-haired girl even blinked a few times before Zero spoke.

"You guys are late."

Hearing his annoyed words, the blonde girl couldn't help but shockingly look at him all over again. Zero looked good, and she was hoping to score with him for the time being… but she didn't think that her competition would be these beauties.

"Well… we were in a bit of a pinch. Though it doesn't look like you had any problem waiting for us. So, will you tell us who is she? Or…" Ask Cristine in a bit of an analysing and mischievous voice as she looked at the blonde girl. To be honest, she already understood what was going on, but looking at the way that blonde girl was trying to approach Zero, Cristine couldn't help but think of having some fun with the situation.

"She is Linda Brown. She is also going along with us to Iredale as a counsellor for a certain someone," Zero spoke as he closed his diary and looked around for a place where enough space was present for all of them to sit.

'Mana sense,' he spoke as he looked around to find William sitting at a distance and Rheo too. He looked in their direction one by one and both of them smiled at his ability before continuing to do their own work.

"Let's go," he said, but before he could move that girl… Linda spoke with a deep gaze as she looked at Zero,"who are you?" There was slight fear in her voice and Zero spoke before anything could escalate further,"I am Zero. Can you put your mana sense back to normal? There are children here who are getting nauseous because of the mana pressure generated by that. I just happened to read your name tag and I know a bit about the badges of Arcadia Academy, that's all."

Well… Arcadia Academy did have multiple badges for different jobs and events, so much as to have one that differentiates between a guy who is both a guard and a student, against a normal student or a normal guard.

Hearing his words, she looked at Zero with a surprised expression and a smile came on her face as the worry completely vanished. Then, watching the rest of the gang moving towards the empty space, Zero also moves and Linda follows him instinctively.

Lucia, who was watching everything unfold, kept quiet as she sat a distance away from Zero while she kept analysing him over and over. As for Eliza, she was busy playing a game on her smartphone while Cristine, feeling bored, kept racking her head for something mischievous, though it only made her expression seem funny.

"So where are you going in Iredale?" Zero sits on the seat and asks as he looks at Linda and she sits before speaking,"Iredale Castle."

Hearing her words, everyone from Zero to Cristine and William to Rheo looked at that girl with a slightly stupefied face before she spoke again with a bit of pride.

"Don't look at me like that. I just happen to know someone in that castle. She said that she wanted to enrol in the Academy along with a certain someone, so she needed a counsellor and here I am flying to help her out. You can't miss a potential client like Leeway's now, can you?"

Her words reflected the joy she had on her face and Zero smiled back at her as a slightly mischievous smile formed on his face as he looked at Cristine, who seemed to be thinking the same thing which he did and then…

"Hey Linda, can I ask you what you do in the Arcadia Academy? I want to enroll in the academy as well. Can you help me too?" Zero spoke with a smile and Linda observed his expectant face before she spoke while laughing,"Ah! Haha! It's not that easy, idiot!" as she hit Zero's back with a heavy pat as her eyes spoke,'don't joke about it.'

Though as she observed more and more, she saw the seriousness in his eyes not shaking at all and then after she stopped laughing she asked again,"you are joking, right?"

Zero shakes his head and looks at Linda with a deep gaze as he speaks,"Linda. I am hundred percent sure about going to the Arcadia Academy. Aren't you a counsellor? Surely you must have some 'tips and tricks' to get into the academy, don't you?"

Hearing his words, a small sigh escapes her mouth, and she begins pondering about something really hard before she sighs and then speaks with a smile,"I need to go to the bathroom. Can you give me a minute?" before standing up and moving away from here.

Cristine, who was observing everything with keen interest, hurriedly moved beside Zero and said,"What are the odds of her coming back?"

"Below zero," he answered her with the same smile before adding,"Iredale Castle won't be that boring, I suppose," as he kept observing the back of Linda before she vanished. Cristine chuckled a bit before speaking,"Guess so."

Lucia and Eliza sigh after observing the faces which Zero and Cristine were making before they looked at Linda with pity in their eyes. After that, everyone turned back to their own things.

Time passes a bit slowly from there. During the last visit to the white dimension, Zero had fought over 1000s of times and, after struggling for so long, he was able to barely survive fighting against all the family members of the Leeway family all at once. Though the time of survival was merely 10 seconds. Still, it was better than definite death, which he had to go through countless times in the beginning.

He also picked up a few tricks as he fought, while also getting more and more battle experience when fighting against a powerful enemy by 100s of folds.

-Flight no. 12 is going to depart in 25minutes. Passengers are requested to start boarding the plane.

-Flight no. 12 is going to depart in 25minutes. Passengers are requested to start boarding the plane.

The announcement was made, and everyone soon moved inside the plane before sitting in their respective seats. The flight took off and not even an hour had passed until something happened…

A couple of massive private jets arrived right beside the airplane on both sides. Before people could realise, a pathway was connected between the private jet and that of the airplane following which the emergency door of the plane opened and soon a man entered.

While everyone was surprised yet terrified to see the man, Zero smiled as he expected this development to take place before the flight even took off. Zero stood up and then began to move towards that man as he spoke with a slight smirk,

"It is an honour to meet the SS-Class Ranked, Mark Leeway."
