4 How rare

Yman and Sistela didn't stop bantering until they arrived at a rundown apartment.

He was about to use the key when he noticed that it wasn't locked.

|She's here.| He thought. The door made a creaking noise when he pushed it. "Yman, is that you?" asked by a voice from inside.

"Yes, Miss Pai, " he replied.

A woman wearing an apron came out of the kitchen. On her hands were a bowl, a bowl of steaming porridge. A system deity was floating beside her. Based on her figure, she was in her 20's. She's pretty and sexy. She has chest-nut color and curly hair, which is shoulder length. She has beautiful eyes, and she stood at the height of 5"6. Same height as him.

"Oh, how's your evaluation exam..." She asked. But she suddenly paused when she noticed his figure. His clothes were tattered and wet. And all over his body were covered by mud and algae. "Eh? What happened to you?" she surprisingly asked.

Yman scratched his head before opening his mouth.

"Aha-ha, after I got my partner, I went outside the town to earn points. But, I slipped in the pond area when I fought with a pale toad," he said shyly.

"Kuku, it's good that you're fine, but don't be too rash next time. Your sister will be sad if something bad happened to you," she said worriedly.

"Yes, Miss Pai, " he responded.

"Clean yourself first."

Yman nodded. He went to take a bath after putting in the kitchen the rice and vegetables he bought. He was grateful for her for taking good care of his sister when he's not around. For him, if it's not for Miss Pai, he doesn't know what might have happened to him and his sister. Maybe they were still wandering on the street and sleeping on the roadside. It's a good thing that he happened to help her in an incident. After that incident, she let him and his sister stay in this apartment free of rent.

Later on,

After washing his body and putting up new clothes, he went to his sister's room. Before pushing the door,

Cough! Cough! Cough!

He heard the coughing sounds of his sister behind the closed door. 'Sadness was written on his face. He wavered, and anxiety slowly crawled in his heart. Hearing her coughing voice, caused a piercing pain on him. He bit his lower lip and balled his hands.

If only he had a better source of income. He regretted being an unreliable brother.

<Master?!> Suddenly Sistela called out.

Pak! Pak! Pak!

He slightly slaps his face to regain his composure. Sistela was currently in his pocket, located at the chest area of his t-shirt. She can't fly or float yet. She could only learn those if he upgraded his deity. But of course, a price was needed to pay every upgrade. That thing wasn't in his mind at the moment. Currently, the most important to him was to heal his sister's illness.

The System Deity could feel what their owners felt. They were a super-intelligent system that was capable of feeling.

Creak!

He slowly pushes the door. His face wore a smile. In front of his sister, he needed to act cheerful.

After coming inside her room, he saw Miss Pai feeding his Sister with porridge. The two girls glanced at him. His sister Yana forces a smile after seeing him.

"Hello, Miss Pai, " he bowed slightly in her direction.

"Come, " she nodded and called out.

He slowly approached them and sat beside his sister's bed.

"How are you, Yana?" He asked with a smile.

"I feel better now because bro is here."

"Mhm," He nodded and patted his sister's head.

"How's your evaluation exam, bro?" she curiously asked in a weak voice.

"Huh, I've got a defective deity," he said while gesturing can't be helped.

<I'm not!> Sistela retorted.

"Bro, let me see, " Yana excitedly said. But her voice was low.

Cough! Cough!

"Sure," he took Sistela out of his pocket and gave it to his sister. "She's a little mean, so don't mind her personality." He reminded her sister.

"A female deity? How rare, " Miss Pai said.

"Eh? Miss Pai?" He asked.

"Female deities have higher luck in alchemy." Miss Pai said.

"Really?"

"Yeah, but they are weak in battle."

"I see, so that's why I have little damage to the pale toad."

Yman and Miss Pai were discussing System Deity, on the other hand, Sistela and Yana were chatting happily. Unexpectedly, Miss Pai received a message from the academy. She excused herself and went on.

The Academy wanted to hire her as an adviser. It's already 5months since she applied. Finally, she got accepted.

She happily went back to the apartment. She goes to Yana's room and sees her happily chatting with Yman's deity.

Cough! Cough!

"Miss Pai, you're back," Yana said weakly.

"Where is your brother?" She asked.

"Sistela, where is my brother?"

<Master went to the wood store a while ago, but now his currently heading towards here.>

System deity and the owner formed a link with each other. After their resonance, they could tell the exact location of each other. They were one pair. Once registered the deity's name, a pact was automatically agreed.

The owner of the system deity was called MAGICIAN. Right, every person who owned a system deity was called a magician.

"Oh, maybe he's making an arrow again." Miss Pai said.

<Arrow?> Sistela asked unconsciously.

Yman was currently walking towards the apartment. On the street, he saw many people running everywhere.

Commotions? He asked himself.

"Monsters were attacking at the east gate!" A pale person shouted while running.

Monsters at the east gate? He thought.

He was heading to the north side of town, where his apartment was located. He paused for a moment, then decided to go to the east gate.

He ran towards the gate on the east side. When he arrived, he saw a line of soldiers on the wall. They fired arrows and fireballs towards the outside. Since the gate was closed, Yman couldn't see what monsters were attacking the town.

Some soldiers crowded in the gate area, "Make some space!" Shouted by a soldier with a higher status.

RAAAWWWWWWRRRR!!! A loud roar suddenly erupted.

FWOOOOOOSSHHHHH!!! Which followed by wheezing sounds.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! Then a few seconds later, loud bangs rung all over the place.
