I was in a PTV, being driven by a man around his thirty. There was star in his shoulder indicating his rank as a awaken.
"So..... Kid as a adult and your senior I will give you only one advice. Always and I mean always watch your back" The man called Tim said in a serious voice. The man was genuinely saying this.
"Umm yes sir. By the way sir how did your academy life go? I am really excited for my academy life so as a senior you can give me some advice" I said in a cheeky voice.
[The one who see]: Bro stop using that tone😭.
[The snake who bite itself]: Bro is talking as if he is gonna make some friends 😂.
[Lemon]: Bro if you can make 1 friend I will give you something useful. As I said if you can🤣.
[Angel of Benevolent]: C'mon guys stop bullying the kid.
[The one who see]: Yeah Yeah miss angel.
[Angel of Benevolent]: hmmph 😒
I looked at the blue screen in front of me and their voice ringing in my mind and saw all this unemployed people making fun of me.
"Mother fuckers" I muttered in a low voice, "Of course I can make friends"
[Lemon]: Really bro? You don't need to lie to yourself.
[Angel of Benevolent]: Ignore this barbarians. You can consider me your friend.
"Wow thanks you are the only one who is nice to me. Ok I will call you Benet from now on" I said with a fake tear.
Tim who was telling about the academy look behind and saw me mumbling to someone and my fake tears.
"Kid you cool? Do you have any issue? Tell me in advance because in the academy the professor will make even the most autistic person work" Tim ask in a concern voice.
"It's ok sir. I am just hearing some random unemployed people trash talking in my brain" I said with a smile.
Tim looked at me for a while and just went on driving.
[The one who see]: Bitch who are you calling unemployed? Just so you know I am a very respected person in my area🖕.
[The Snake who bite itself]: Meh that level of rage bait ain't gonna work one me.
[Lemon]: Just as eyes said I am a respectable person.
"Lemon? Bro do you even see yourself? You literally called yourself lemon what you on about. And eyes fuck you too" I said while showing them a middle finger.
[Angel of Benevolent] ( Sent 500 coins to Incarnation Red) : Sorry for disturbing your mind. Are you ok?.
"See guys why can't you guys be like Benet. She is so kind" I muttered.
[The one who see]: Bro even without my ability I can tell She ain't gonna let you hit. Let go that thought🤡.
"The hell are you guys on? I am not thinking of that" I muttered in a flabbergasted voice at their message.
"Hello kid? You here?" Tim started waving his big hand in front of me.
"Ah yes I am coming. Thank you for the lift" I said while giving a light bow
"Yeah yeah no need to be that respectful. I am going kid try to survive" Tim said while slowly leaving out of the sight.
[Lemon]: Bro you never spoke to us like that, what kind of favourism is that? We are also you elder you know😤.
"Yeah right elder as if" I let out a snort and look behind me.
Behind me was the academy. It's wall looked similar to those medieval times castle's wall but more black. And it seems the academy is located underground?
As I was marveling at the sight of the academy. Eyes and lemon voice sounded at my mind. I took a glance at the blue screen.
{Get a friend in the academy within 4 weeks.
Reward: 1000 coins + 1 awakened memory}
[Lemon]: My challenge still stand. Can you do it?.
" Hey guys what does the coin even do by the way? " I asked in a curious voice. Earlier Benet gave me 500 coins but I still didn't know what it does.
[Angel of Benevolent]: Wait Red you didn't even know what the coin is used for? I am honestly surprise.
[The snake who bite itself]: Bruh you stupid.
[The one who see]: You should just quit bro.
"Ok ok stop bullying me and tell me what it does?"
[Lemon]: I will try to explain it in a way your peanut size brain can comprehend. Coins can be use to enhance your body, buy memories and skill. Tho good skills are very very expensive.
"😑first of all rude I am not that dumb and secondly that's OP as hell. Why didn't you guys told me before. How do I enhance or shop?"
[Angel of Benevolent]: Since you are just a aspirant, you can only enhance yourself right now. You can only buy memories after awakening and skills after ascension.
"Oh that's a little let down but ok😞.
So how do I enhance myself?" I asked looking at the chat for answer.
[The one who see]: Bro just say status and buy stats.
"I see", " Status" As soon as I said that a similar blueish screen popped in front of me.
