System

June 5.

[9:34 AM]

On a large bed enough to fir two people, a beautiful teenager with fair skin and blonde hair slept.

Her eyebrow fluttered and slowly opened, revealing two beautiful gold colored eyes.

"...Ngh!" The girl groaned as the light in the room clouded her vision.

"Why is the light on?" After getting used to the brightness, she lift her upper body and looked around.

The teenager tried to get up, but stopped, as a bunch of words materialized in front of her.

[Erasing System's presence - Successful!]

[Attempting to attach to the host - Successful!]

[Scanning host's memory - Successful!]

[Backing up host's memory - Successful!]

[Scanning any potential danger in the host's body - Successful! - No danger detected!]

[Greetings!]

The girl stood up from the bed and walked to the bathroom, the girl sighed, "It's too hot, I got no energy to deal with this."

Strangely enough, the girl was eerie calm, any normal person will either be confused, bewildered, shock or excited.

Entering the bathroom, the girl took off her clothes and entered the shower.

The girl turned on the shower, causing water to fall on her head, covering her whole body by water.

As the water fell on her face, the girl turned to the bunch of words and asked, "Are you like one of those System's I read on webnovels?"

[Yes] The System replied.

"I got no intention to becoming stronger and reaching the top." The girl said, then grabbed a soap and rubbed it on her body.

"Then you attached to-" The girl stopped on what her saying, as a message appeared in front of her.

[If you get stronger... You will be able to feel emotions]

Reading the message, an unknown feeling shook her heart.

"Is what your saying true?" The girl questioned in a detached tone, looking at her face closely, not an ounce of emotion could be seen.

[Yes!] The System replied.

"....Can you show me my Status?" The girl asked.

[As you command!]

Silvia looked at her Race and asked, "Mmm? Why is my Race displayed as Half-Human/Angel?"

[One of your parents is an Angel, so you're born as a half-angel. Who may the Angel be, I don't know] The System replied.

"What is this thing called Soul Point?" Silvia looked at her Soul Point Value displayed as [0].

[Soul Point is the power deprived from the soul. When you kill a living being, you obtain Soul Points, but the amount depends on the strength of the living being you killed] The System explained.

Silvia read the message and thought for a bit, after a while, she turned to the message and asked, "Then how do I obtain EXP?"

[The way to obtain EXP is converting your Soul Points into EXP. 1 Soul Point is equal to 1 EXP] The System replied.

"I see...."

After conversing with the System, Silvia continued her shower.

20 minutes later.

Silvia grabbed a towel on a shelf and dried herself before wrapping it on her body, she turned off the light before leaving the bathroom.

She walked to her closet and grabbed a pair of clothes, she took off the towel covering her and started wearing the clothes.

After wearing the clothes, she stood in front of a mirror beside the closet.

What reflected in the mirror is a beautiful young woman with fair skin, blonde hair and beautiful gold eyes, wearing a white shirt and black shorts.

Beside her, a sound of a door opening could be heard.

Turning to her side, Silvia saw a adult version of herself, same blonde hair but different eyes, the woman's one was color blue.

"Mom?" Before Silvia could continue, the woman charge towards her and hugged her, before touching every part of her body.

"What are you doing?" Silvia asked without an ounce of emotion on her face.

"You're okay, you just suddenly fainted earlier, your body temperature was also extremely high. I thought something bad is going to happen to you." The woman sighed in relief, then released Silvia from her hug.

"Are you feeling weird anywhere?" She asked.

"I'm okay." Silvia replied, hearing her reply, the woman felt her worry slowly dissipating.

"Okay, but I'm still worried, so let's go to a hospital for a check-up." After saying that, the woman turned around and walked towards the door.

[Do you want to check her Status?] The System replied.

"Yes." Silvia whispered and the woman's Status appeared in front of her.

Seeing the 'Angel' on the Race Status, Silvia trace of shock could be seen in her eyes before disappearing instantly.

Silvia walked to her bed and grabbed a black phone near her pillow then followed after Evaline.

Silvia looked at her mother and fell into thought, 'In school, I read that Demi-God ranked people are on top of the world, essentially ruling it. So how is one in a ordinary family and married to a normal guy like dad? How did dad even meet mom anyway?'

Thoughts like those passed her mind, before long, both of them arrived downstairs.

On the hallway, they saw a handsome man with jet-black hair and beautiful golden eyes, walking towards them.

"System, Status!" Silvia whispered.

[As you command, you can also talk to me in your mind] The System said.

[Name: Alex Wenston

Sex: Male

Age: 41

'He is indeed a normal man, how did her even get to marry mom?' Silvia thought while lookingat Alex.

"Silvia, are you okay, are you feeling weird everywhere?" Alex worriedly asked.

"I'm okay." Silvia replied.

"Great! But I'm still worried, let's visit a hospital." Alex sighed in relief.

"But can I eat first? I haven't eaten anything since morning." Silvia said.

"Oh yeah, you fainted the moment I finished cooking breakfast." Evaline commented.

Both of them nodded and they walked to the kitchen.

Arriving at the kitchen, they saw a handsome young man with jet-black hair and blue eyes, eating Cookies-n-Cream ice cream on one hand and playing with a phone on another.

The boy noticed their arrival and looked at their direction, seeing Silvia. The young man stopped eating and asked, "Your awake, Are you okay?"

"Yes." Silvia replied then sat down on one of the chairs.

"Dear, can you grabbed me an Ice Cream as well." Alex sat beside the boy and turned to Evaline and requested, who was walking to the kitchen.

"Okay." Evaline nodded.

While Silvia sat across the father and son duo.

'Status!' She said in her mind.

The System complied and showed the young mans Status.

[Name: Jack Wenston

Sex: Male

Age: 13

Race: Half-Human/Angel

Mana Core Rank: 1- Novice

Elemental Affinity: {Space}

Equipment: None

Skills: {Void Step} ]

'Mm? He has a skill, it looks like a person can only obtain a Skill when they are a Mage.' Silvia thought calmly, while looking at Jack's Status.

"Dad." Silvia called out.

"Mm?" Alex turned to Silvia and asked, "What is it?"

"I want to enroll in a Magic School." Silvia requested calmly.

""What?"" Alex and Jack gasped as they heard Silvia's request.

"Are you sure?" Alex asked, while stuttering, "You have only been in a normal school all your life, you are behind every student in your grade in Magic Schools."

"I know." Silvia stated calmly, "But I still want to join one. I'll just study to catch up to them then."

"Why the sudden decision?" Evaline asked, who was carrying a plate of food on one hand and ice cream on another, walking out from the kitchen.

Silvia didn't reply and just stared at them.

"You just finished your junior high school and entering senior after this two months, so you need to study 3 years of Magic Study. So do you still want to enroll in one?" Evaline asked.

"Yes." Silvia nodded.

"I don't why you want to enroll in one, but I trust that you have a legitimate reason for it. Besides, your smart enough to catch up to others anyway." Evaline sighed then placed the plate of food in front of Silvia, then the ice cream to Alex.

"Now eat, after that. Let's go to a hospital for a check-up." She added.

"I told you guys, I'm okay, there's no need to visit the hospital." Silvia said.

"No!" Alex refused.

5 Minutes later.

After a while of back and forth, Evaline and Alex decided to observed Silvia's condition, and post-pone the visit to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow, it is also the whole family's yearly check-up tomorrow.

In the past minutes, Silvia finished her meal and head upstairs to her bedroom, and study Magic with the help of internet.

Inside her bedroom, Silvia sat in a large chair in front of her computer, beside her bed.

She turned to the System and asked, "Can you help me?"

[I can, but first. You have to sense Mana, if you can't. Its basically useless even if you study Magic] The System replied.

"Then how do I sense Mana?"

[You have to close your eyes, concentrate and focus your mind and try to sense the Mana around you. But doing it this way is extremely difficult] The System explained.

"Is there any other way?" Silvia lightly frowned, reading the System's explanation.

[No, but the difficulty could be lessened, if you're exposed to a strong stimulus of Mana] The System replied.

She stared at the System and slowly asked, "Is there any danger?"

[If its only a small amount, no. You will only feel lightheaded, if its a large amount, yes. Your body will explode] The System explained.

Silvia fell into thought, after a while she suddenly shouted, "Jack! Come here, I need your help!"

"Mm?" Hearing her sister calling him, Jack left the kitchen and head to her room.

Before long, Jack arrived at Silvia's room.

"What do you need?" He asked.

"Come here." Silvia sat on her bed and pat the space beside her.

Jack was confused, but he still listened to his sister and sat beside her on the bed.

Silvia turned around, her back against Jack, and she calmly stated, "I need you to pour Mana in my body."

"Huh?" Jack froze and asked while stuttering, "Why? Sis, you've been acting strange since you fainted earlier, why do you even want to transfer into a Magic School?"

Silvia slowly turned around and stared at Jack in the eyes with her emotionless eyes, and calmly asked, "Jack, if you have a chance to obtain something you desperately want, and the only way to obtain is getting stronger, will you grabbed the chance and get stronger?"

Staring at Silvia's emotionless gold eyes, Jack froze and something clicked in his head, 'I see, so that's why she has been acting strange and those sudden decisions of hers, but how is she sure that she will be able to feel emotions if she get stronger?'

Jack smile encouragingly at her and said, "Okay, I'll do it. I don't know why your doing this, and when you want to tell us why, me, mom and dad will be here and support you. This is the first time you express what you want after all."

Hearing that, a small happy smile appeared on her face without her knowing, "Thanks!"

Seeing her smile, Jack froze and inwardly sighed, 'She smiled! And its one of happiness too!... As her little brother, its my duty to support my big sister.'

"Turn around." He said.

Silvia nodded and turned around, her smile disappearing in the process.

Jack placed his right hand on her back and calmly said, "Sis, I want you to relax, don't worry, at first you will feel lightheaded, it will only be a short while, after that. A warm feeling will replace that lightheaded."

Silvia nodded and did as instructed, she wasn't really nervous or anything.

"Are you ready?" Jack asked.

"Yes." Silvia nodded.

"Then here I go!" Jack closed her eyes and concentrated, inside his. Jack manipulated a small amount of Mana and guide it to his right arm to Silvia gently, he gently poured Mana in her body in case Silvia panicked and reject the Mana, and invertedly 'injure' herself.

The 'injury' was her body gaining fear to Mana, resulting in her body to reject any Mana that enter her body.

Like Jack said, Silvia felt her mind being lightheaded, but before long. The lightheaded was replaced by a warm feeling filling her whole body, resulting in herself to be sleepy, Silvia forced herself to be awake and remember the feeling of Mana.

After a while, Silvia felt Jack's ragged breath behind her, she abruptly turned around and saw Jack covered in cold sweat.

"Are you okay? What's happening to you?" She asked.

"Its okay, I just feel mentally exhausted." Jack replied while in ragged breath.

"Okay stop, It's enough." Silvia grabbed a handkerchief near her and wiped the sweat on Jack's face.

'Fuck! Manipulating Mana is truly hard, so that's why teach said that I need to practice manipulating Mana everyday.' Jack inwardly cursed.

'System, will he be okay going back to his room alone?' Silvia asked in her mind.

[He's okay, he just feel mentally tired, after an hour of rest, he will be back on full condition] The System replied.

'Thanks!' Silvia thanked the System.

"Go back to your room and take a rest." Silvia said after wiping Jack's sweat.

"Okay." Jack nodded and left her room and return to his room.

Silvia watched Jack's disappearing back, before staring at the System, "Do I need to do what you said earlier?"

[Yes, but you already got the feel of Mana, so it will definitely be easier] The System replied.

"Okay!" Silvia nodded and did as instructed, she sat on a lotus position and closed her eyes, she focused her mind and tried to sense the Mana around her.

Without her knowing, on the floor below. Evaline was sitting on the couch in the living room, staring at Silvia's room below, her gaze piercing through the floor.

Alex sat beside her and asked, "Are we going to tell them? That your not human, but an Angel, and their a half-Human/Angel?"

Evaline retracted her gaze to Silvia and stared at Alex in the eyes, and nervously replied, "I'm not sure... Are they going to accept it?"

Alex pulled her in his embrace and consoled her, "Its going to be okay, its not like they will hate you."

"Really?" Evaline nervously asked, her fear and nervousness not disappearing.

Alex also noticed this, he thought of a way to calm her nerves and said, "Why don't we watch some movies?"

Evaline also knows this and nodded, "Sure!"

If Silvia heard this conversation, she will froze in shock, as Alex already knows that Evaline is not human.

Their normal harmonious family return back to normal.

1 hour later.

Silvia abruptly opened her eyes, sweat dripping down her face.

Silvia felt a unfamiliar but familiar energy around her, she felt like it was always there but also not.

She turned to the System and asked, "I can sense Mana, what's next?"

[You need to learn how to manipulate Mana, if you don't know how to. You will be like your brother earlier. You also have Mana inside your body, you need to learn how to manipulate Mana outside and inside your body]

[You need to think of the Mana inside your body and think of it moving with your will]

[But saying and executing, is two entire different things] The System explained.

Silvia nodded and tried to sense the Mana inside her, after a while. Silvia sense her body filled with Mana.

As the System instructed, Silvia tried to manipulate the Mana inside her, at first, Silvia felt it was easy, but she discovered that it was not easy as she thought. If she lost focus one bit, the Mana will not listen to her, so she need to focus without stopping.

After two hours of constant practice, Silvia felt mentally exhausted.

[I advised for you to rest, the road to become the strongest is not easy, so you need to have some rest] The System advised.

"Okay!" Silvia nodded and decided to sleep.

After a while, Silvia's slow breathing echoed across the room.

A new message appeared in front of her that instantly disappeared.

[I'm sorry... This is the only way I can think of....]
