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

Chapter 212 - Alpha

"Now then, I'm going to be asking you a few questions and you must answer it seriously, okay?" Sheila said with a serious look on her face with her gazes locked on the person in front of her.

"Yes, senior!" The girl, Yuna answered with the same vibrant tone as she always had. Though her eyes sometimes couldn't help but glance at the bulging red on top of Sheila's head, the result of the latter tickling Ria too much, she did her best to appear serious overall.

The two, Ria and Mia, standing at the side also read the situation and decided to keep their mouth shut. They also couldn't help but wonders what kind of questions Sheila going to ask, but they were stunned speechless when they heard Sheila's first question and more.

"FDO's rate up is a lie, is this true or false?"

"It's 100% true!"

"Homework is such a pain, is this also true or false?"

"Definitely true! Any school related stuff should be in the school's premise only, why are we still studying at home when we already did so at school? It doesn't make any sense!"

"That's right! Though most people said gaming is bad, I learned a lot in games, more than my English teacher's class. Don't you think so?"

"Yes, I agree! I also learned a lot from the many novels I have reads, more than what I learned in my Literature teacher's class!"

"Then is school even necessa—"

"That's it."

Before Sheila could said something more idiotic, Ria immediately went right behind her, and knocked some sense right onto her head with the power of justice, that is her fist. Afterward, she was lectured once again.

"Are you going to do it again?"

"No, Ma'am." Sheila answered while sitting in a seiza position. If she said anything more, the lecture won't be stopping anytime soon.

"Really?"

"Yes, Ma'am."

"Good, now hand me that card."

"But I don't have a business card yet?" Sheila titled her head to the side with a confused look on her face.

"I'm taking about 'THAT' card you plan on giving to her." As if she had come to realization by Ria's words, Sheila nodded her head and immediately shoves her hand into her pocket before pulling out a smooth black card.

"But why? I was going to do that anyway."

"Don't you remember what happened to me previously?" Ria said. Though she has a smile on her face, her eyes isn't actually smiling. That chilling stare of her, Sheila had a feeling something bad would happen to her if she didn't give a proper respond.

True to her childhood friend's words, she did done terribly back then. Ria almost lost her life due to Sheila's mistake. 'Honestly, it isn't really a bad thing if Ria wants to take my place since she's good at explaining stuff unlike me,' when she think of that, another thoughts suddenly crossed her mind which caused her to fall into deep in thought. She only came to her sense when Ria seized the card away from her hand since the latter had repeatedly called her name, but Sheila didn't respond.

And then she was chased out of the first floor for reasons she couldn't comprehend.

"Why would I cause trouble just by being there with them? Hmph, I'm sure she's just taking her revenge on me for the previous tickles attacks. That must be it."

Since she couldn't watch the surprise look on her junior's face in person, Sheila decided to kill some monsters and earn some experience while she's already in the Trial Tower.

"Thanks, Raksha. I'll see you again later."

*Woof! Woof!*

After departing with Raksha as it turned into a small sheet of paper which she quickly slide into her inventory, Sheila stood up on her feet and thought that it's about time for her to face the threatening presence deep in the forest.

Without waiting any further, she put a bit of strength in her feet and launch herself off the ground before landing safely on a sturdy branch. This goes on until she arrive approximately 20 meters away from the boss of this floor. Straight ahead, there's a huge silver wolf resting peacefully at the center of a pack of Fierce Wolf. Even without any information on them, anyone with a working brain would realized that the silver wolf has to be the Alpha of the pack by just glancing at them.

Before fighting the boss, she need to take care of the pack standing guard around it first, or it wouldn't just end up troublesome. Fortunately, she came fully prepared this time. Honestly, she thought it would be an epic 1vs1 battle. But this is fine too, heck, this might be her first battle to command the giant ants.

Yes, she didn't came here alone, or rather she was never alone ever since that day.

After she had tamed their Queen, the few soldier-type giant ants that survived also followed along. And since then, the Queen hadn't even once stop laying eggs. Only when the Queen reported to her that there are more than enough giant ants to take care of the larvas did Sheila decided to bring some of them along with her.

When Sheila had stepped into the Sixth Floor, she didn't just came here solely to grind. She also have another reasons, and that is to checks on the giant ants she left behind. Surprisingly, there are a few of them that dies, but those that survived average at 26-30 levels. Though their level aren't as high as her, they are more than enough to handle a pack of Fierce Wolf.

"Now then, show them what you got." With her arm raise as the signal, a good numbers of giant ants slowly surfacing around the pack of agitated Fierce Wolf. Though the Alpha also became cautious and wary due to the appearance of the giant ants, it only stood up before howling, prompting the pack to attack the enemies surrounding them.

Rather than fighting them head-on, the giant ants immediately buried into the ground the moment the fierce Wolf speeds up toward them. Just as the Alpha thought their enemies had ran away out of fear, it saw them resurfaced again a few meters away from the pack which caused the latter to immediately chase after them.

The Alpha also thought of following the pack, however, it's beastly instinct forced it to stay on the spot since it feels something is amiss. Just as it was about to call it's pack to return, it suddenly sense a life-threatening attack coming up right behind it that caused it to scurry to the side, somehow avoided the attack by a hairbreadth. It would have been a goner if it had moved a bit later.

"Damn it, I missed." Sheila muttered softly under her breath with a bastard sword in her hands. She thought of sneak attacking it, but not so surprising, it managed to sense her and quickly moves away the moment she swings her sword toward it. It would have nice if it got behead right there and then. Well then, hard fight it is!
