Everyone Else Has a System

[Zero's POV]

Walking outside the area, first I moved towards the apartment which I had bought before coming here. First thing is to collect more information about the whole situation, and the next is to make sure everyone I have talked with gets the intel files on what task they are supposed to do.

I sat on the bed and took out my laptop as I began working as I sat in a comfortable position.

First there was Rheo, whom I need to send a training regimen to. Reeve Leeway should also arrive soon and I should make them help each other as Rheo lacks power manipulation but has skills, while Reeve was exactly opposite of him, excelling in power manipulation but lacking skills.

Then there was Amelia, whom I needed to give a bit of details regarding Aidan and what kind of monster he was. I can't give his current location to her, as she will only be disappointed with what she will find.

Also, I sent Annabeth the list of student details and how she could move forward with managing my class. With the help of Amelia, she should be starting to teach my class from tomorrow as an assistant teacher.

I assigned a few more tasks to others, including Elle and Lucy's current training regime. Since they both would be practising together, they should be able to make the most out of it.

As for Eliza and Christine, I asked them to meet me tomorrow afternoon with William. They too have some extra work, hopefully which could go smoothly.

Then I began collecting all the dirt against Vanguards. However, someone opened the door and entered the house. I sensed who it was and found out that Clair had arrived here.

'That's early. Did something happen?' I thought as I sensed Clair casually moving towards the bedroom where I was.

Soon enough, she opens the door of this room and

-KYaaaa!!!

She screams before looking at me properly, almost taking out her weapon at me, but then she calms down a little as she asks,"what are you doing here?"

"Well… it's my room, so… shouldn't I be the one who needs to be asking that?" I spoke, and she realises her mistake a bit before speaking with a slightly embarrassed tone.

"Ah! That actually… I… Uh… hehe… I was…"

It made me chuckle a little before speaking,"It's okay. I don't mind. Though, what are you doing here? Is everything alright?" and she turned at me with her eyes fixated on me before she snapped out of her momentary stupor and spoke.

"Ah! That. The Head Librarian just gave me an early break cause she needs me to do the night shift today. I think she has to go to a sudden meeting called by the Principal. Happened like a few minutes ago."

I looked at her and recalled that it was me who gave Amelia that task. My eyes then looked at the list of task that I need to finish by today and I pondered again as I spoke,

"Well… you can take your break, I suppose."

She looked at me for a few moments, before her eyes turned a bit disappointed as she muttered in a low voice,"okay…" and then she began moving outside the room.

"Though, you can come here to take a rest if you want," I said as I turned to my laptop and began focusing on my work. I didn't see what expression she was making, but I heard her steps stopping for a few moments.

"I am not going to repeat what I said," I spoke again as I kept working on the laptop and then, for the next few moments, I didn't hear any noise. It was pin drop silence except for the clicking noise of the laptop keyboard, which was echoing in the entire room.

Soon I hear slow footsteps of Clair walking inside the room as she takes one step at a time towards me and I turn to her, only to find her wearing a blue sleeveless top with a white miniskirt. Though, rather than a casual dress which you wear at home, it was as if she wore a dress which you'd usually wear when you go meet people outside.

"You look beautiful," I said with a smile before turning to the laptop and computing everything and sending people their respective tasks while also working on collecting additional information that I will be using in the future.

She moved towards me and sat on the bed right beside me as she looked at my laptop to see what I was doing. I glanced at her and found her staring at the laptop with a slightly fascinated gaze.

"Curious?" I asked as I kept working on it and Clair spoke,"mmhmm."

I then brought out a new window and opened up the map of the entire Arcadia Academy and then began speaking,"this is the map of this Academy. I am planning to create a huge artefact filled rune that will have multiple functions including enhancing the performance of the students as well as giving this whole area a protection enough to take on an army of S-Grade monsters for more than an year or so."

She was a bit surprised but wasn't really shocked to hear that as she asked,"what are you going to do with that? Are you planning to build a kingdom or something similar?"

"Something like that. A war is coming towards me and I need to do everything I can to protect those who are around me. I have already lost people once… can't afford to lose them again,"I said as I sighed before turning to her, only to find her looking intently at me.

At this point, I could hear her breath as she was sitting quite close to me. Her face was about a foot away from me, and both she and I were looking at each other.

Slowly I moved towards her as she stayed still and soon… I felt the sensation of her soft lips touching mine.
