Everyone Else Has a System

Moving out of the area where Jenkins was admitted, I reached towards the main gate of the hospital.

I wanted to meet Adara regarding something that I would need her help with, but before I could move out of the hospital, I saw another familiar face standing in front of me.

"Hey, fancy meeting you here," I said with a smile on my face, observing the red-haired girl in front of me.

"Hey, how are you doing? You kind of left without saying anything," spoke Bernette as she looked at me with a shy face as she helped her new friend to the hospital.

There were three girls in front of me, Bernette and two others. The girl in the center seems to be injured and I suppose the other girl and Bernette are here to get her admitted.

"Been busy with work. Also, most of the things were done, so my presence wasn't needed there," I spoke and Bernette looked at her friends as she spoke.

"Alveen, can you take Maria to the hospital? I'll be there in a moment."

Both of them looked at me with a curious gaze before they moved towards the hospital.

"What happened in your class?" I asked as I moved towards the hospital garden area and Bernette followed me.

"Maria, the weakest Orthodox in our class, fought the Unorthodox girl trying to gain some fame or something, but was miserably defeated," Bernette spoke as she looked at the sky and sighed as she looked at the scenery

"Anything troubling you?" I inquired as I observed her.

"Nothing just… I thought that after all these years of suffering, I would finally get the life I wanted… I would enjoy the Academy and stuff, make new friends and go on adventures but…" she spoke and I continued her words as,

"But it's kind of boring. Even though it's just been two days, does everything seem not really worth it? Hmmm… wanna come with me for a few hours? I think I can ease your troubles."

She looked at me for a few moments, then smiled brightly as she spoke,"then I'll be depending on you once again."

"So, you should go check up on your friends and come back. I'll be waiting for you here," I told her with a calm smile as I moved to a nearby bench and sat on it.

Though rather than moving towards her friends, she said,"Nope. I think they can handle themselves, plus we aren't really friends, so it's fine. We can leave immediately."

"Hmmm… sure, I guess. Let's go." I stood up and began moving outside the hospital.

Bernette and I were silent for the most part. I asked a couple of questions and she answered. She asked a couple of questions. I answered.

Honestly, even though we weren't talking, we were both enjoying each other's company. It was quite comfortable, to be honest.

We took Bernette's car, and I drove it towards the Student Council building. When we reached there, Bernette was a bit skeptical about what I was going to do, but she still silently followed behind.

We moved in and found a lot of people working busily and a few more who were there to file complaints or for some other thing.

Not that far, I saw a certain someone I knew and someone I least expected to be here.

"Kiddo, is Adara inside?" I asked as I looked at Lucas and a few people turned at me with a half blank expression. They looked at me and then at Lucas.

Lucas too looked at me but he wasn't shocked… just a bit tired.

As for Bernette, she wasn't really surprised that I knew Lucas, all the more especially because she knows about my real identity and what I was capable of.

"Yeah, she is a little busy, but… take the stairs from the left. No, actually, let me take you there or they won't allow you to go in," he spoke as he began walking towards Adara's cabin.

Bernette and I followed him and the gazes of everyone else followed us and when we reached a little less crowded place, I asked him,

"What's with the polite behavior? Can you drop it already? It's kind of creeping me out."

"Well… I need your help and I know I don't want to annoy you so…" He spoke with a smile and I looked at him with slight interest before I yawned a little as I spoke,

"Depends on what the work is, honestly. Oh! looks like we are here."

Outside the cabin, 2 people were standing and after Lucas talked with them, they allowed us to enter the cabin.

Inside the cabin there were 5 people, including Adara, who was discussing something with a serious look.

Adara and the others turned at us and one of the four people analyzed me and then looked at me with a slightly disgusted look before he spoke.

"Lucas, I know you are close enough with President Adara to get in her cabin, but that does not mean you are allowed to bring about just anyone in here."

"Everyone, please leave. We will continue the discussion within an hour," Adara spoke ignoring the words of that guy and everyone turned dumbfounded at her before a murmur began among themselves.

"You heard her," I spoke with a smirk that irked him and he stood up and began shouting,

"Is this how you treat your seniors?!!!"

"Leave. I won't be polite another time," Adara spoke again with a serious expression this time and everyone turned silent. At this moment, there was a pin drop silence within the room before one by one everyone left. The guy who was shouting at me was hesitant at first, but he too moved out begrudgingly in the end.

Though he did give me a silent warning with his eyes before he left.

"Well… you look like you are having some troubles… Do you need any help?" I asked with a slightly concerned face as I looked at her and Adara just spoke,

"It's nothing. Just the Inter Academy Tournaments are coming up, so we were busy planning that."
