NOVEL NEXT Chapter 26
Chapter 26: Chapter Twenty Six: The second floor
Above each player’s head was a health bar. But there was no way to show how much health each player had. Judging by what Lexa had said this was most likely because everyone had a different set of health depending on what the VR headset was able to read from the body.
The next thing he noticed was the fact that there wasn’t actually any damage done to the player. When Lexa punched her opponent, the system would cause the player to react to these, either startling the player but it wouldn’t permanently damage the person like it would have done in real life. Similar to a game it would treat hits on vital parts as a critical hit but the player could continue to fight like normal as long as their HP didn’t hit 0.
After that Kevin continued to watch Lexa play a few more games and before they knew it their time was up.
Although Kevin still have the time to play today, he decided to shift it till tommorow. Although he couldn’t wait to try out the game tomorrow. Now that he has found an equipment that would make him grow stronger, it is his chance to grab the opportunity. Tommorow is Sunday, so he still have the whole day before lecture begins on Monday morning. Maybe after lunch he could return to play the game but right now he was hungry and Lexa also said she had something to show him after lunch.
Luckily, there weren’t many students on the queue as it was just a few minutes to the lunch time. Kevin and Lexa had received their foods and after eating, Lexa had asked Kevin to follow her to the library.
All Kevin’s thought was maybe she wanted to read a book or something but it had surprised him when she saw her heading for the second floor that wasn’t meant for students of their level.
“Lexa, where are you going?” He suddenly called out when he saw that she was about to climb up the stairs.
.....
Lexa sighed as she walked down the stairs and took him to a corner for an explanation.
“I know what I’m about to do is so risky, but I assure you no one is going to challenge us. I’ve tried it a few times and here I am, safe and sound. No one could know since it’s a Saturday. We’re all dressed in our casual clothes, so they’ll think we’re one of them.”
“But, the floor is for pure mage and spell wizard students, what if they are able to spot that we’re different from them?” Kevin asked, unsure of Lexa’s plan.
“That floor is meant only for pure mage students? That’s the real reason why I want to go up there. Things that aren’t on this floor are up there. Come on Kevin, don’t worry. I’ll cover up with my parent’s name. Just follow me.”
He sighed externally and gave in to her request. “Alright no problem.”
Although Kevin was a bit scared of what might happen to them if they get caught, one part of him was willing to take the risk as long as he’ll find the book about Triling and his system.
The two students then hopped on the Stairs and started climbing to the second floor. But as they walked up the stairs, someone had spotted them.
“Is that not my cute Kevin.” Lina said as he saw the side view of Kevin’s face as he climbed up the stairs. She had immediately recognized him from afar but she then came to her senses.
“Wait, the second floor is meant only for pure mage students, why is he heading up there? Did he got promoted or what. And who was that lady that held his hands.” Lina had started heating with jealousy and she didn’t know when she dashed towards the stairs to catch up with the two students.
She sneaked silently behind the two as she waited to see who the girl was before approaching Kevin.
Her mouth opened wide when she saw that the lady was someone she knew.
“Which book are you searching for?” Kevin asked as he noticed Lexa looking through the section where comic books and superhero stories were kept.
“This.” Lexa replied as she finally got the book she had been searching for all day. The book was a superhero comic book that was titled Miss Trouble. It was her favorite story ever since she was young but she couldn’t find the book when she grew up. It was written by a human writer which makes it difficult to purchase since it’s not sold in their world. She begged her sister, Lina to buy a copy for her when she leaves for the human world. But Lina forgot to buy the story or so did she say. Lexa knew she was lying ’cause she was totally against the idea of her reading human superhero books. She said they were all untrue and humans only cared for their stingy selves.
But no matter how much Lexa argued that humans are good, Lina would always argue back and she disliked her for that reason.
