Surprisingly, as Daniel stared at the girls in front of him, something about his eyes changed. Blue glowing words and signs started to float in front of him, giving him a virtual gaming experience.
'What's this?'
He tried to focus on the words, only to be shocked by what he read.
[Target found. Acquire your first victim and increase your chances of earning more Affection, Reaps and Souls.]
[Target found. Acquire your...]
Whichever direction he stared into, words and signs would start to float near any girl nearby as if analyzing her.
'The system!'
'It's the system!'
Daniel was happy to know that the system was something innate, remaining with his soul rather than his incubus body. However, though he knew what Victim, Reap and Soul meant, he was not sure on how to use the screen.
'I should hurry up and call Amellia.'
Daniel told himself, still pushing forward wondering why the screen had not appeared when he looked at Amellia back then, at his mom or the old woman who had passed by when he and Amellia kissed in public. Was it because he didn't have sexual intentions toward them? Well, what about Amellia? Perhaps because she was a succubus, right?
All around him, people were whispering among themselves as the OG gang continued to call after Daniel who had completely ignored them.
"What does he think about disobeying Mr. Rom?" asked a girl from the crowd.
Mr. Rom was a blonde guy, so slim and tall, the OG gang's leader and Daniel's most brutal bully. His real name was Chris but used Mr. Rom on the stage, his voice and moves while performing making him the most popular guy at the Elites Academy.
"Denied, come here right now!" Mr. Rom roared in fury, making everyone around start to look at Daniel with pity.
Daniel on the other hand, turned to casually say, "Can't you see I'm in a hurry? Tell me what's your wish or stop bothering me!"
"Trying to show you've grown some balls?"
Daniel had already turned around to continue his journey.
He felt something landing on his back, followed by an angry voice. "Stop right there if you don't want to regret it!"
His heels twirled over the paved ground, his gaze landing on a piece of paper crumpled into a ball.
"What do you want from me?"
"Come here!"
At this moment, Daniel saw a red car making its way to the parking lot. It was delicate, cute and silent.
As everyone turned to look at the car, Daniel told Mr. Rom and his OG gang that he didn't have time for them. This didn't go unheard by the spectators. Once again, their eyes were drawn to Daniel.
It was obvious that the OG gang was not going to allow him to leave just like that after humiliating them. It would be embarrassing. The reason they were insisting with their plan was to make him turn and walk to them so as to show the crowd that they had full control over him.
Nevertheless, Daniel was not planning to do as they wanted. Though they could erupt with anger and pounce at him with kicks and punches, they had never done such a thing in public. Every time they kicked him while in a secluded area. Something he was going to avoid from now on.
About beating him in the public, academy's rules prohibited such a thing. They could only use words to humiliate him, the words which now he was using to be the one humiliating them instead. They had no choice but to insist.
"Mr. Rom, it seems like you badly need me. Why should I be the one running after you?"
"What did you say?"
"Geez! I don't have time to keep repeating myself. Are you deaf or something?"
The crowd was like, "Damn!"
"You'll regret this!"
Daniel took a step towards them, raising his voice for everyone to hear.
"Are you sure I'll be the one to regret? Well, maybe you've forgotten who wrote all the songs that made you a superstar."
This was the reason this gang bullied him. Mr. Rom was good at everything musical except composing. When he found out about Daniel's talent, he was too jealous, adopting to instill fear in him for his songs. Something that he was never going to allow again.
In his words, OG gang burst out laughing to make Daniel seem like a crazy person and they won at that because everyone around joined them.
"You might laugh at me but don't think I don't have evidence against you. Hmm! Well, we'll see who will be laughing after I expose you."
Like any other criminal, hearing these words frightened Mr. Rom, prompting him to step closer to Daniel.
"Better shut your mouth if you still want to study in this school." He said in a low voice, thinking that it would intimidate Daniel.
"Do you think your father will just expel me because you said so? Well, I dare you to do so." Daniel replied in a low voice, too, winking at a red-haired beauty who was approaching the scene.
This time people's focus was split into two, some on the ongoing fight, others on the oncoming beauty.
"She's a newbie. I saw it on the weekly list." They gossiped.
Meanwhile, Mr. Rom's expression had turned gloomier, gritting his teeth in frustration and lack of what to do. Daniel just offered him a daring smile, unperturbed by his clenched fists.
"It seems like your childish play is over," Daniel said unceremoniously pushing Mr. Rom off his way. "I have to say hi to this beauty."
Amellia approached with a smile, her otherworldly beauty making every guy's eyes pop out. Even the girls were ogling at her, their mouths busy gossiping.
Despite the red-striped mini-skirt on her body being as wide as a ballerina's, her enormous butt was visible, two slimes that were threatening to tear her white jacket apart complimenting it.
Daniel approached her, surprising everyone by what came out of his mouth.
"Hi!"
"Hi!"
He extended his hand.
"I'm Daniel!"
She placed hers into his.
"Amellia!"
"You seem like a newbie. Mind making a friend or having a tour guide?"
"Oh, that's very kind of you.
It's like you read my mind."
"Well, which class shall I take you to?"
Everyone was shocked.
