Everyone Else Has a System-Chapter 215 Why Do You Hate Me?

"Well, if you need me for anything, you can ask," I spoke before looking at Lucas and then Bernette, who was a bit confused as to why she was there.

"I brought someone that I want you to take in under your direct guidance," I spoke as I pointed towards Bernette and the one to speak up wasn't Adara or Bernette but Lucas as he questioned,

"You do know that Adara is already busy with enough stuff to deal with, don't you?"

I nodded before speaking,"I'll help you solve most of the problems so that you can have room for breathing while also looking after her."

Adara observed me before turning to Bernette as she observed her carefully and then, after analyzing Bernette from top to bottom, she spoke,

"Well, she does have potential, I guess. Though, I don't know whether I am a good mentor or not. Other than Hera, I have never taken anyone under my care, and you do know her condition, don't you?"

I nodded at her before speaking,"yeah. That is another reason why I want you to take her in. While you will be helping her gain skills and experience, she will also help you enhance your abilities to guide someone. I kind of need you to have that, so that you can take over my position when I am not in the Academy."

I just dropped the whole thing casually, but Adara focused on me as she spoke with a serious expression,"once again, there you go, treating me like that. I don't understand. What did I ever do for you to get so close to me like that? I don't even know you. Not one bit."

I smiled a little as I asked,"wanna know?" and she nodded

I moved towards her one step at a time and reached close to her… at least a few inches away before speaking in a whisper,"someday love."

I then moved away from there as I saw Bernette, a bit shocked at my interaction with Adara and I gently flicked on her forehead before speaking,"you will be under her direct care from now on. Make sure not to disappoint me."

I then moved away from there as she was blankly staring at me before I stopped, turned around and spoke.

"One more thing. I need your permission to use the basement below our classes. Just get me the authorization to that area for the next 12 hours. That shouldn't be hard, should it?"

Adara looked at me and then touched her forehead for a brief moment. Looks like she is still in a daze and I chuckled a little before looking at Hera, who was sitting in the corner, not visible to almost anyone in this room except Adara and I.

Hera nods at me, and I smile before moving out of the place leaving Bernette behind with a blank expression.

The authorization should come fast and meanwhile I decided to move out and get myself something to eat. It was afternoon and lunch time was near.

Thinking that, I began moving out of the building faster, but before I could get out of the building, the 4 people who were in Adara's room previously came in my vision.

? They were talking with someone from the reception and other people at the desks, and it seemed like a heated discussion was going on.

I could have played with them a little, but I decided to move out and enjoy my food a little over playing with a bunch of kids and wasting my time.

Swiftly vanishing from there, without letting anyone notice me, I moved out of the building only to find Lucas waiting for me there.

'Hmmm… what does he want… oh there was something he wanted as well, wonder what that is,' I thought as I moved towards him and spoke,

"I'm gonna grab lunch. Do you know any place nearby where I could get something delicious?" 𝑓re𝘦𝔀𝗲𝘣𝘯𝘰νℯ𝒍.c𝗼ｍ

He looked at me for a few moments and then nodded before pointing at a certain building that wasn't really far from here.

"That place has good choices for foods," he spoke before changing the topic,"about that help that I wanted-"

But I interrupted him as I spoke,"let's go there then. We will talk about it as I eat."

He looked at me for a few moments with a little bit of surprise before he nodded and we both went towards that restaurant.

Choosing a window side table, we sat against each other and I began ordering a couple of dishes that sounded delicious. The restaurant was quite peaceful and calm and the area had an aroma that screamed luxury, but since we were within the Academy, as a student, we got a few privileges regarding the food we can buy here.

After the order was placed,

"Can I ask you something?" Lucas spoke as he gazed at me with an odd expression and I kinda knew what he was going to ask. Still, I nodded at him and he spoke,

"Do you hate me or not? And if you do hate me, then why so? I don't think we have ever met before."

Hearing his words, I smiled a little before asking,"if you are going to ask me that, then can you tell me why you trust me this much? I know how protective you are towards your sister and despite that, you are fine with her approaching me. Small things like I am stronger than you or there is nothing you can do against me doesn't really make sense, all the more when it's you, who can go to any length for his beloved sister. So why do you trust me?"

I didn't know for real. Whether it was his System or some other power that allowed him to see my intentions towards someone, I had no idea what it was that made him all trusty towards me, but I believed that it wasn't that simple.

Lucas observed me for a few moments before speaking,"if I tell you about it. Will you give me your honest opinion?"

"I will give you a hint," I spoke as I looked at him and he pondered a little before nodding and speaking." I guess it's better than nothing. I have an ability that allows me to see a person's intentions towards my sister or perhaps anyone whom I am too close with and when I see you looking at my sister… your intentions are more purer and intense than mine… it's so intense to the point that you could give your life for my sister if the conditions are dire… and the fact it's not out of love is something that baffles me even more. Well, that's my reason for trusting you. You are someone who will protect the one I love the most and that too without any hidden agenda. Just what more could a brother ask for his sister?"

Looking at him directly, I sighed before speaking,"I don't hate you… just that I hate someone who resembles you in a thousand ways… or actually; I don't hate him either. I am just jealous of that other person and you are the reflection of him so…"

He looked at me and sighed with a really relaxed smile. It was so beautiful that it would have surely made thousands of beauties go head over heels for him.

"I am glad that I haven't done anything that makes you hate me… I hope you find your own path in your journey. One that gives a future where we both may become more friendly with each other," he spoke and I narrowed my eyes at him before I gave a fake smile as I spoke,

"Your words touched the deepest corner of my lungs. Now, I will be enjoying my food now, so stop talking."f𝗿e𝙚𝘸e𝐛𝚗𝐨𝙫𝚎𝙡.c𝒐𝐦
