Everyone Else Has a System

I don\'t need to worry about him telling anything to anyone cause, well; I am going to spread news about this to everyone by the end of the year, anyway. If it happens faster, then I will deal with it using force. If it goes smoothly, I can just manipulate everyone, taking my sweet time.

How it will reach the end depends on them, mostly.

"Howard. Jenkins. This should be enough proof that I can deal with your problems. As for our previous deal, nothing has changed about it, except that, now you know the reason behind it as well. So, what would be your decision concerning this?" I asked and observed them.

Jenkins looked at me for quite sometime before he spoke,

"I don\'t think I am worthy enough for this. All these tasks are… too overwhelming for me."

"So what will you do when the Parasites will attack? Cower behind others and hope your family stays safe with no idea where they are, how they are and what they are doing? Worst-case scenario, they are with you and you don\'t have the power to protect them. Is that what you are hoping for?" I asked as I observed him and he turned silent.

There was a complex look on his face, and Howard was the one to speak up here,

"Can we really do it? We aren\'t monsters like Sir Lucas or Miss Adara or even Mr. Reaper… Compared to them, we are just… trash."

"Well, you are trash all right," I spoke with a bit of a dominant look and they turned at me as I continued speaking,"but you are my trash. Don\'t think lightly of me, as you have no idea who I am and where I come from. Just by becoming my trash, your worth increases by 100s of times and you should understand that. Don\'t worry about failing, since I am the one putting you in front. I will be the one correcting your mistakes at almost every point. If you have anything else troubling you, then do tell." Howard looked at me for a while as he tried analysing me and after a few moments he spoke,"can we get some time to think about it?"

Looking at Jenkins, it looked like he had the same feelings as Howard, so I nodded as I spoke,"sure. I will give you time till tomorrow morning. I hope you have reached a conclusion by then."

After that, both of them nodded and left from there. Cook Flynn was still there, and I turned at Adara as I spoke,"take her with you. She got some ability related to fire and try training her on the side with Bernette, since both of them have similar powers."

Adara nodded as she began moving towards Cook and I spoke again,"I will be providing you a list of things that you need to share with others. Let Hera do the Student Council work for now and make some time to finish the tasks which I gave you first. You can take my help anytime you want and also, Amelia, I need you to provide extra help to Adara if I ask you to."

Amelia, who was watching everything, silently spoke out,"what do I get in return?"

"I will give you some information about \'him\' later," I said, and she turned serious all of a sudden before speaking,"Tell me now."

"I will visit your place tonight," I spoke with a slight wink, making her glare at me a little before nodding and then asking,"anything else?"

I pondered a little before speaking,"I want to meet that guy before summer starts. Make some arrangements."

"It isn\'t possible for me. He is in seclusion and if I disturb him, he will kill me without any hesitation," Amelia spoke and I sighed before speaking,"Well… I guess I will meet him by myself then."

The first \'him\' was Aidan Williamson, the creator of Amelia. As for the second \'him\' was the guy at the very top of the Stairways of Knowledge. I didn\'t want to do any of the two things at least in the first year, but… Oh! Well. Whatever.

"Anything else?" Amelia asked again and I answered,"Well, apart from the task I asked you to do a few days ago, nothing more."

She recalls the task, nods at me, and then leaves immediately. The task was to set up a magic rune all over the Arcadia Academy to help people get strong here. Though, now I was going to go all out on creating the rune and making it a full-fledged defensive barrier.

If I can squeeze a bit of extra time, I will even add the whole Arcadia City into that barrier later on, but we will come to that later when the time comes.

Adara too leaves from there with Cook, who follows behind her hurriedly as she tries to talk to her. Looks like things will proceed a bit more smoothly now. Next is…

"Annabeth, sorry to put up with this, but can you watch over my class? It\'s a bit sudden-"

"Sure," Annabeth replies immediately without any hesitation and I look at her with a wide-eyed expression before she speaks,"you saved me and Elle for this same thing, didn\'t you? Plus, it is something that all of us have to face later on, so if I can help you out to return the favour, forget about doing such small things. I could even fight against an entire army as long as it\'s reasonable. If you need me for anything else, just ask me. Also, can you tell me exactly how you want me to watch over them? I might end up doing things differently than you are expecting me to."

Hearing her words, I was a bit dumbfounded, but then a smile forms on my face as I said,"Thanks. I will be depending on you then. As for the way to handle my class…"
