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

Chapter 65 - Pure And Innocent Smile

Two beautiful girl with different hair color walked side by side, anywhere they go, everyone would always take a second glance at the two. One is burning red hair while the other is as beautiful as the moonlight, silver white hair. It was quite a sight simply by looking at their hair color, but when their gaze went down toward the face, they would be more surprised at how beautiful the two appearances are. Basically, the two girls stood out among the rest of the crowd that walks across the street. 

Sheila didn't say anything and only watched her surrounding from time to time while Sylvia was silently following not too far behind her. Sylvia looked around the road she was walking through and realise that the only place ahead is a small hidden hill. She wonders why the girl in front of her is bringing her there. Is it to commit suicide by jumping off from the top of the hill? That's possible, but if that is really so then, she would be disappointed. 

Sylvia thought when Sheila mentioned another way; it means not for another suicide spot but another way to figure out how she could be free from her current circumstance. But of course, she wouldn't know what she was going to experience soon will be something that will change her entire life. She had long lost the purpose and will to stay alive; if Sheila hadn't come and stop her that day, she would have commit suicide to end her suffering. 

After about half an hour of walking, they finally arrived at the top of the hill. By standing at the top of the hill, one could see the beautiful scenery of the city down below. Sylvia was quite shocked at the landscape in her view; it was her first time seeing something so beautiful in her life. Looking at the girl who had her eyes wide open while looking at the city down below, Sheila was pleased. 

Actually, when she was still a noisy little brat, she had come across this special spot when she was having fun playing around with Ria. Ever since then, they would come and visit this place whenever free and enjoy themselves of the beautiful scenery in silence. But by the time she had gotten the system, Sheila didn't have the time to come here and relax due to how busy her ordinary life had become. Not many people actually know such spot exists, otherwise it would have been a special tourist spot for this district. 

At first, she thought of bringing Sylvia to her house but then remember that she hadn't told about her real identity. Even now, she is still in disguise; it wasn't just her hair color that changed, her facial too. Sheila didn't want any chance of other people finding out her secret; just one stalker junior is enough. And because of that one mistake, whenever she wants to practice something, she always goes inside the Trial Tower. This way, she could level up at the same, two bird hit with one stone. 

The reason why Sheila brought Sylvia here instead of teleporting the girl right into the Trial Tower is that she doesn't want the girl to get so shocked that her mind might become even more unstable. Even now, the light in the girl's eyes hasn't fully restored. It means her determination to live is not there; if her mind becomes unstable, things might get worse.

Once Sheila arrived at the top of the hill, she finds a good spot near a tree before pulling out a blanket from the inventory and neatly lay it on the ground. To Sylvia, Sheila pulled out her phone and browse it when suddenly a blanket appear out of thin air. Her mouth was wide open; her face was filled with surprise. She looked at Sheila's face but didn't see any sort of unnatural in her expression; it was as if everything is normal to her. 

Sheila sat down on top of the blanket before indicating Sylvia to sit by her side, once she had a seat, Sheila pulled yet another trick of an object appearing out of thin air but this time is a two set of the lunch box. 

"Why don't we eat first while enjoying the scenery?"

"Mmm."

Sylvia nodded her head and took a small bite from the lunch box while her eyes were having a second treat of beautiful scenery. For the first time in her life, she feels so relaxing as she breathes the fresh air available only on top of this hill. Sylvia was still wearing her school uniform, but it didn't bother her, and neither did Sheila. She should have been at home by now if not for following the girl to her right. Even though she knows that when she went home, later on, her mother would give her a harsh scolding, she didn't care. 

The two silently and slowly devoured the lunch box; once the two have finished emptying the whole box, Sheila brings out a health potion from the inventory. At this time, Sylvia had long given up on the thought of how and where did all this came from. She wants to ask how did Sheila do all that, is it a magic trick? But the word won't come out of her mouth. So, she ended up silently staring at the glass bottle in Sheila's hand before looking up at her, wondering why she brings it out. 

After bringing out the health potion, Sheila tried to act normal by handing it to Sylvia and said. 

"You must be thirsty now, here."

Sylvia didn't say anything and accept the small bottle made of glass and examine it with her eyes. Usually, one would be suspicious and wary when someone who they didn't know, handing them a bottle made of glass filled with what appears to be red juice. One would even question, is this red juice actually blood? 

But Sylvia is not one of them. She didn't care whether she was being tricked or lied to. She was just curious about what Sheila means when she told her in regards to another way. 

Sylvia pulled the cap open and put it on her lips before gulping the red juice down her throat. The taste was very sweet, and after she drank it, she started to feel warm around her whole body. She didn't know how to describe the wonderful feeling she had at that time. Perhaps, it might come closer to the sense of satisfaction when getting a good massage from a professional. 

Sylvia was closing her eyes when the warm feeling washes over her. That was why she didn't notice that her body, the part where she had bruises and scars, the new skin started to grow and patched together within the blink of an eye. And before long, there were no longer bruises or scars on her body; it was just beautiful and fair skin. 

Sheila secretly fist bump herself in her mind and wait silently at the side. She didn't want to disturb Sylvia while the girl was enjoying the feeling of her body being reborn anew. It didn't take that long though before Sylvia opened her eyes.

"Is there something wrong with the drink?"

Sheila just smiled at Sylvia before she abruptly threw her arm at the girl and grabbed the bandages wrapped around her neck. Sylvia's eyes went wide, and before she could ask Sheila what she was doing, the bandages that were touched by Sheila suddenly disappeared. Sylvia was shocked and immediately covered the spot where the bandages used to be with her hands. She didn't want her ugly scars and bruises to be seen by someone. 

"Why are you covering that spot?"

Sheila asked, even though she already knows the answer.

"it's...because..."

Sylvia said before her voice slowly become faint. It seems that she doesn't want others to see it, it's understandable since if someone asks her where did all this come from, she won't know how to answer to that question. She's the type to keep silence after all. 

When Sheila's hands touched the hand covering the neckline, her body trembles in response, Sheila gently holds the hands before pulling it away and slowly said. 

"it's fine, look. There's nothing there."

Sylvia didn't believe her and looked down before trying to feel on her neck using her hands which Sheila have now released it from her gripped. She slowly put her hands and have a feel around her neckline; the pain that she expects to come after being in touched didn't happen. She tried putting strength in her hands, yet there was no pain. This caused her to widen her eyes, and when she looked at Sheila, who was smiling at her, she moved her hands toward the other place she's familiar with. 

But she still didn't feel satisfied. Looking around, there's only her and Sheila in this place. Without saying anything, she pulled up her shirts until the chest before looking down at her waist. She's so used to see a bruise or two on her waist but today, it's unbelievable, but there were no bruises or any sort around her waist. Once she was sure it wasn't a dream or the likes, she looked up and stare at Sheila while a complicated feeling washes over her. 

"you may find this unbelievable, but the drink you just had is something like in the RPG called health potion."

Sheila smiled before starting her explanation. Of course, this further caused Sylvia to be in even more confused than she already is. Health potion? RPG? What are those? Is it a miracle drink? 

Looking at Sylvia's confused expression, Sheila awkwardly laughed while scratching her head. 

"If you don't believe me—"

"I, believe you."

"Should I—what? You believe in my word?"

"Mmm."

"Oh, I see. That's grea—"

Sheila breathed out a sigh and said, but she was interrupted by Sylvia halfway.

"umm, what is health potion?"

"..what?"

If Ria were here, she would have laughed out loud at how ridiculous Sheila's expression is the moment when Sylvia asked her. Sheila was so shocked and felt like her world view was overturned without realising about it. There are still people out there who didn't know about health potion? I mean, it's in RPGs! Even those novel where it involved with something like leveling will have something like health potion. I have never met someone who didn't know one or two about games so far!

But then a single thought crosses her mind, is it possible that she never actually have fun? Either by playing games or reading a novel? Just to make sure, Sheila opened her mouth and said.

"Have you ever playing around, having fun?"

"No, I.."

Is it because she was focusing so much on her studies that she didn't have any time for relaxing and having fun? Or is it because her shitty mother didn't allow her? Sheila didn't know, but she believes it's possible for the latter. She sighed and said. 

"it's medicine but way more powerful than any medicine in the entire world."

"A single bottle of it could heal any injuries within seconds. If you didn't close your eyes moments ago, you would have seen it happened with your naked eyes."

"..."

Sheila was explaining the details to Sylvia when she was caught off guard when Sylvia suddenly started crying her tears out. She didn't know why the girl started to cry, but she wants to do something yet nothing appear in mind, so she ended up just sit there awkwardly while Sylvia's cries spread to the surrounding hill. Perhaps, Sylvia still found it unbelievable even though she believes in Sheila's words, and when Sheila started to explain the details, the reality started to kicks in. 

Sylvia started to calm down after crying her tears out for a whole ten minutes. After wiping the tears on her cheeks, she opened her mouth and said.

"Thank you."

And then, a beautiful smile appears on her face. It was a pure and innocent smile. Sheila was stunned by how beautiful and innocent her smile is.
