The World seems Realistic but Why do I have a Leveling System?

Chapter 10 - Two Suspicious Individuals

"I'm going out, Mom."

"Be sure to come back home before dusk, okay?"

"Okay!"

Sheila answered her mother before leaving the house. Because it's Sunday, she could see kids running all around the neighbourhood as they were frolicking each other. She could also see a group of boys at her age hanging out at the park while chatting and laughing from time to times.

Looking at all the scenery as she was walking passed by each of them, she smiled and thought how peaceful the world is. She could take a deep breath of fresh air and relax all she wants, unlike the time when she had to focus on her sense for 24h in the Instant Dungeon.

Perhaps, she was influenced by the novel she had read; she was more careful than an average person. Just like how when she was hunting the slime, she had to completely sure that the slime was all alone even as she waits in an ambush that takes a lot longer than the actual fight.

She's thankful for that though, as one single mistake from her could potentially cause her death. Due to her increasing in levels, her sense has become much sharper than before. She could hear the people talking from three meters away from her location if she put her focus on the ears.

"Is that the target?"

"Yes. follow her closely and once she was out of the public, capture her."

"Alright."

Sheila's beautiful face frowned when she accidentally heard an ominous talk while she was testing her strength. With her now sharp sense, she could tell that she was followed by two individual from behinds a certain distance from her.

She slows down her walking pace and thought, did they found out about my secret? No way, it shouldn't be as it has only been two-three days since I got the leveling system. But then, why was I followed by these two suspicious individuals?

Sooner, she was out of the public's sight as she walked right into the corner of the alleyways. The two suspicious individuals immediately run after her but when they got into the corner, Sheila stood in front of the two with her eyes glaring at them.

Initially, she was scared and afraid of the situation that she has come across. But when she gripped her hands, she could feel the strength within her fist. It managed to calm her mind. It was just two adult man; she could definitely handle them just fine with her current strength, unlike her weak self three days ago.

The two individual came to stopped and realised that they had been found out by their target. They were not specialised in stalking on people, but that doesn't mean they didn't do it seriously. In front of the real one, everything about them is just pure clumsy. But an average person wouldn't have noticed that they were being followed unless they were highly alerted.

Sheila accidentally heard their conversation while she was testing on how far her hearing could go. She looked toward the two, one man with dyed hair and tattoos on his upper hands while the other man looks normal compared to the man beside him.

"Why have you two been following me until now?"

Since she has heard from the conversation that they were calling her as a target, perhaps, they had been following her for a while, and she only found them out today only because of her leveling up. Just thinking about it already brings the chills to run through her whole body. What would have happened if she didn't have the leveling system?

Sheila shook her head to negate away that negative thought before glaring back at them. Seeing the glare coming from her, the blond man laughed.

"Heh, would you look at that? She's all scary glaring at us like that."

"..."

The man beside him stood silent and didn't give any response to the blonde. The blonde man clicked his tongue before opening his mouth and said with annoyance.

"the target already found us, what are you keeping quiet about for? Let's just capture her and be done with it."

"...Fine."

The blonde grinned at the man's agreement. The man ignored the blond and said to Sheila in a deep low voice.

"If you don't want to get hurt, you better follow us quietly."

It was not a request but an order.

"I refuse."

Sheila said as the determination filled her eyes. She was ready for a fight to break out as she holds her phone in the pocket, just in case.

"Hahaha. Look, she refused your kind advice."

Rick, the blonde man, laughed when Sheila rejected the man's advice. The man beside him didn't get angry nor feel offence as he keeps his silence. Tsk, this fellow is really hateful, thought Rick in his mind. He grinned when he thought the time to show off has come.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you better stop with your brave act, girl."

Said Rick as he slowly walked toward her.

"I'm not as kind as him, you know?"

When Rick arrived approximately close to Sheila, he stopped and grinned when he noticed that she was trembling on her legs. When he was about to put his hand on her shoulders, his stomach feels painful as if being hit by some kind of strong item, and along with the pain, he was sent flying.

Looking at the unconscious blonde man, a sigh escaped from her mouth. The detail on the status was real, she thought. With just a single punch to the stomach, she had sent the man flying and passed out.

The man was shocked at the scene in front of him. Although the blonde seems like an annoyance to him, he was not weak in the least. Rick's strength is comparable to him, which was why the shock he received was a huge one. If even the blonde was put unconscious by the girl's single punch on the stomach, what could he do against it?

Within seconds, the man comes to a decision and decide to run away and report back the situation. When he turned his back at her and was about to spring away, Sheila already rushed to him.

"I won't let you escape!"

Sheila shouted before throwing a punch at the man, ut the man managed to dodge it by the hair breath. Without any choice, the man counters with a kick to her right and the hit connected as she was slow to avoid it.

"Ugh!"

Sheila groaned in pain from the kick she had received. The pain couldn't be compared with the slime attack as the later only feel like a fastball hitting on her. Sheila gritted her teeth hard and managed to endure the pain as she gets close to the man before punching him in the face.

The punch was too fast as before the man could dodge; it was already an inch away from his face. When the punch hits his face, the strength that he thought would be weak was actually stronger than him and the blond, and thus, he was sent flying and crashed onto the wall.

Thankfully, the two was unconscious by her punch. She didn't have to bring her rusty sword and used it against them. She didn't have the courage to slash them with it, after all. The human and slime were different from her view and opinion, as slime was seen as a monster but not the human.
