"Suji, wake up. Its late for school."
Sujil who was asleep in his bed, heard the voice and said groogily,
"Coming, Mom".
After getting out the bed, sujil started to get ready for school. After changing his clothes, he went out of his room and saw his mother setting up the breakfast for him. He sat on his chair and began to eat his potion.
"Suji, today I have work at the hotel, so, I will come late at night . instead of just playing games on your mobile, try to study and sleep early."
his mom reminded him while eating her potion.
Sujil is a 17 year old boy who lives with his mother, Lena. His father died 10 years ago in a bike accident. Since then his mother has been raising him alone while also working as chef in a hotel. her salary is about 20,000 rupees that is quite sufficient for the family of two. Sujil also wanted to study well and get a good job to support his mother. But he is very average at studying. Even when he worked hard to study for his exam after few hours he forget many topics that he has studied.
He even thought about just enjoying life for now ,after finishing his school he planned to work some job to support his mother. because without education, it is difficult get a job nowadays.
"Okay mom. you can rest assured. I will study at home obediently".
replied sujil with an innocent face. His mother glared at him, obviously not believing his act.

[DING! STUDY SYSTEM IS ACTIVATED]
Sujil just stared blankly at the blue interface before his eyes. he rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't seeing things. he also suddenly recieved memories about the system.
lena, who noticed her son wasn't eating asked,
"What's wrong,sujil? Is the food not to your liking?"
After coming from his stupor, he replied to his mother,
"No mom, just thinking about if I completed all today's homework."
Lena narrowed her eyes clearly not buying his act, because even though her son is not that good at studying. but he is always complete his homework either by himself or through online. Still, she let the matter slide thinking he is also at the age where he keep secret from his mom.
Sujil breathed sigh of relief, thankful that his mother did not enquire further .After finishing his breakfast , he bid farewell to his mom and went to the bus station. While waiting for his bus, he started to inspect the system. From the memories given the system, he learned that he could earn study points that would help him increase his proficient in different subjects. he said "status" in his mind and blue transparent screen hovered before him.

After seeing his status, he pondered for a moment.
"If I want to get good mark, then I have to level up to increase my knowledge. I can gain the study point by studying or learning new things that are related to the specific subject. I an only add points to the subject for which i earned them."
Soon ,the bus arrived, and he got on while thinking, This is the first time that I am excited to go to the school. After arriving at his stop, he walked into the school. His school was called Elite matric Hr.Sec.School. he is currently studying at 12th standard and it is crucial for every student in the 12th standard to get high scores to enter a good college. Some students could also enter by paying money. but for student from middle class or lower class, its different story .its very essential to get seat in the college because of spending less money.
He entered his classroom ,he saw some students talking with each other while some are quietly studying in their desk. he sat at his desk and took his book for the first period.
"Hey, you're not possessed right?"
hearing the annoying voice , Sujil felt irritated and replied
"what the hell do you want ?"
Seeing his best friend, he replied calmly,
"Man, calm down. I am just asking because my Sujil only knows how to play games but seeing that you are studying as soon as you arrived to the class. I'm kind of beginning to suspect that you are possessed."
his name was Thamizh. he had been Sujil's best friend since started school at age of seven.
"What do you mean by "your Sujil"? I do not belong to you."
sujil said indifferently. and continued
"Also I've decided to start studying from now on. the exams are nearing, I can't afford to waste my time."
Thamizh staring at him as if he were a fool,
"sujil, you know you are not that good at studying. so just give up ,let me take care of you in the future."
Sujil's face darkened and thought this guy has many good things except his overprotective behavior is annoying.
Suddenly, the classroom door opened and entered was old women who wore a stern expression and commanded
"Everyone, get back to your seats".
After that every student who were chatting went to their seat. Thamizh also went to his desk.
The old women announced,
"Everyone, the public exams are only three months from now on instead of just playing around try to concentrate on your studies. If you do not perform well .you can't get into good college."
She is a homeroom teacher of the sujil's class and also teaching tamil subject. her name is Mathu.
Mathu soon asked the student to study the unit-1. while some student just acted like they were studing ,other students are started to study the unit-1. Sujil also opened his text book and begin to study.
After one hour, the class came to an end. Sujil also heard the ding sound and transparent blue screen opened before his showing.
[DING!, 1 TAMIL STUDY POINT HAS BEEN AWARDED]
Sujil was suprised to receive the study point. Then he allocated the point in the status.
[Tamil : Level 1(1/10)]
Soon, he received memory related to his Tamil subject. he also know that they are five levels to make the proficient of subject to perfection.
Then the rest of the class soon started to resume. At 12pm the lunch bell rang , some student went to canteen to eat while some ate in the classroom.
Sujil and Thamizh also sat together and started to dig their food. sujil also saw his Status while eating
