The World seems Realistic but Why do I have a Leveling System

While the two girls were running towards the promise location, Sheila was pondering on whether to disguise herself since she didn't think that she could hold back her strength with the people like this. Though she would rather not go through the bloody path, if that is what it takes to protect her loved ones, she wouldn't mind. If it was the old her, she would not have such extreme thought of killing a human being like her. But after everything she had experienced up until now as she fights every battle with the intention of kill or be killed, there's no way her mentality won't change after that fact.

That was why Sheila feels like she had lost something important within her, some part of her, every time she becomes stronger. Just like all the stories and legends that she had read, only with power would one be able to shape their own future to their will instead of leaving to the whim of fate. But as the saying goes, 'with great power, comes great responsibility' which Sheila thought is still pretty absurd and though she didn't want to admit, it does make sense.

If she saw a person in need of help within her sight and she had the ability to give a hand, would she do it? Logically, no. Why would she go as far as helping a stranger, someone she didn't know exists if nothing was gained from it other than getting a problem instead? But if she had followed the logic and ignore it, she would have felt some sort of guilt in a corner of her heart even though it is not her fault. And if she did help, although she will feel happy and fulfilling for a moment, there might be some people out there who would take advantage of your kind nature for their selfishness. It's saddened but such human exists.

Anyways, since Rodrick kidnapped Yuna because of the humiliation he suffered from her hands, Sheila didn't think that using disguise would be a good move as it would only expose herself that she's ain't normal. They already know about her anyway, why would the need for disguise? Now that Sheila thought about it, all the pondering is just a waste of time. This is not like her to wondering about useless thoughts, she must have taken quite a hit than she had expected.

Though her relationship with Yuna could only be considered as that of friend between senior and junior, Sheila had grown quite fond of this 'unique' junior of hers. Sometimes she even finds the way the girl stalked seemed cute and adorable rather than troublesome like in the past. If they were just stranger to each other, this would not have happened and neither would she went as far as going to rescue the girl. Sheila also feels partly guilty as if she stopped Yuna from getting closer to her, the girl would not have been the target for kidnapping.

This kidnapping case reminds her of the thing she didn't want to remember at any cost. If she had kept her distance at that time, there would have never been a tragedy. But because of Ria being persistent regarding it, she ended up opening her heart to a new friend, only to get cold water poured over her.  But...this time, It won't be the same!  With that thought in mind, Sheila gripped her hands into a fist as she resolved her will before picking up her pace while not moving too fast or Ria would be left behind.

It takes a bit longer of running than Sheila had expected due to going at the pace where Ria could follow, and though she is worried about Yuna, judging by the presence, it doesn't seem that they are doing anything to her just yet. Sheila couldn't help but breath a relieved sigh, if they had done something to Yuna, Sheila doesn't know how far she would go if she went on a rampage. When she arrived in front of the rusty old gate, two men walked toward her without hiding their disgusting grinned when their eyes met her and Ria. If not for the fact that she wants to secure Yuna to safety firstly, Sheila would have no doubt kill the two disgusting freak with how their eyes were looking at Ria.

"Hehehe, so you are that girl, huh? Oh. who is this next to you? Though the boss probably won't mind since she's also a beauty, you should know your place. Didn't the boss said don't bring anyone else with you?"

"A pawn should just do their job properly, be quiet and lead the way."

"YOU-" "Yo, chill. Why are you getting so triggered by a word coming from a girl? Let's just lead her, she will get to know her lesson soon anyway."

Before the guy with a punk hairstyle could lash out to her, the man next to him put his hand on the latter shoulders and brought the angry punk to sense by his words.

"Hmph! just you wait, bxtch. Soon, you will know your place."

When the two men turned their back and lead the way, her eyes suddenly started to shine, from brown pupils to that of bluish like a deep ocean as she stares at their back. It brought her a relief when Sheila saw nothing abnormal going on around them, though the words writing on the letter said the kidnapping case was an act of revenge for the humiliation Rodrick suffered, it's never wrong to be on the cautious side. Moving on, Sheila looked around her surroundings and other than the mana in the air, there doesn't seem to be anything that caught her attention. The more her surroundings look normal, the more she finds it strange which caused her to frown.  Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.readwn.com for visiting.

Is it really because of the humiliation that he kidnapped Yuna? I had thought that someone from the same world as me has come to know about my existence, maybe from Angelica, or from other means that I didn't know about. I came with the preparation to fight against those kinds of people, but it seems to me that what was written in the letter was actually the truth, it was not meant to deceive me or anything that I imagined.

Though she was relieved, Sheila didn't let her guard down even after knowing that everyone involved in the kidnapping case was only a group of normal people as that doesn't mean she become unkillable or immortal, and if the bullet pierced through her head, she would be dead anyway. There's also the fact that Yuna was still being kept as a hostage, if Sheila makes a single mistake, life could be lost.  In the end, I have to use my power against normal people, huh? So be it. If that is what it takes, I'll do so with no hesitation.

When Sheila steps into the spacious room filled with many people as disgusting as the two men that had lead her the way, and when they saw her figure and Ria's, their eyes would be locked onto them with a gaze filled with lust. Sheila frowned when she feels the gaze from everyone in the room other than the one seated on the chair. Though she knew that they didn't hurt the girl just yet, just seeing Yuna being chained on the chair with a blindfold covering her eyes already makes her blood went cold as her gaze swept across the room.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

A sudden clapping noise resounds behind her, Sheila turned around and could finally see the culprit for this whole mess, Rodrick Jayson, as he slowly steps inside the room with another group of men followed right behind. Though she was surrounded, Sheila was not scared as her stoic expression never changed even knowing that which was noticed by Rodrick.

"You're finally here, though I was expecting to wait for another half minutes, you were a lot faster than I thought. Good, good. Oh? Is the girl next to you is Cilia, the daughter of Celia? That's not good, Sheila. You shouldn't bring your friend to a dangerous situation as you might get her killed, you know?"

Rodrick stated as if trying to frighten the two girls in front of him with his threat, but looking at each of their expressions, not even Ria was scared by it. Although her level is low compared to Sheila, she could still handle this many people easily with her current strength, breaking a bone or two won't be a problem. Rodrick couldn't help but clicked his tongue when he saw that the two weren't affected by his threat at all. Without saying anything, Rodrick gesture the man standing beside the chained Yuna, the man nodded his head in response before pulling out a knife and put around her neck.

"Both of you are quite brave, but how long will that last? Now that I have that girl as my hostage, you should listen to my word properly or, hmm, blood would be shed? Hahaha, just look at that girl, she's trembling so bad-"

"Let her go now and I will let you live."

Before Rodrick could finish his word, he was interrupted by Sheila's cold and monotone voice.

"Hah, big word. Maybe I should show you the reality you're in? Hey you, why don't you give a stab somewhere on that girl, don't let her die though or that will be your fate later."

Yuna's body flinched when she heard his decision and no matter how many times she tried to stop herself from trembling from the fear, it couldn't be done. The man nodded his head and as he was about to stab on her thigh, he suddenly finds himself unable to move, as if restricted on the spot by some unknown and invisible power.
