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

"Oh, I didn't expect to see a classmate here."

While Sheila was playing games on her phone as she waits together with her mother for Anthony to buy tickets, suddenly a familiar voice called out to her. She looked behind in surprise and saw the noteworthy red-haired girl wearing a casual outfit with a smile on her face as she walked straight to her place. Though Sheila didn't know why Angelica is here, it must have been a pure coincidence as just by looking at the latter outfit, one could tell she came here just like many others, only to have fun or relieved their stress.

"Yes, I also didn't expect to see you here, Angelica Ernest."

"I told you to call me with only Angelica, I don't really mind, you know?"

Because Sheila has grown accustomed to being followed by some kind of people who didn't seem to harbor any sort of ill intent to her, she had assumed that even if someone did follow her here, it wouldn't be that much of a problem with such a huge crowd of people in her surrounding. If not for the fact that she also wants to get some relax time with her family, Sheila wouldn't have let the red-haired girl in front to get close to her just by sensing her aura. Even if Sheila wanted to ignore this girl, a mature woman to her side didn't seem to hold the same intention as her with her eyes gleamed.

"Oh my, who are you?"

"Good afternoon, Auntie. I'm Angelica Ernest, a classmate of your daughter."

"My, you are a very polite person. And if you didn't know, I'm her mother, Sara."

"Ah, no wonder. Now I know where Sheila got her stunning look from."

Angelica said with a nod while her eyes were inspecting the mature woman at Sheila's side. Sara giggled in response, and it was then that Anthony finally came back with tickets in his hands. Sheila couldn't help but release a relieved sigh as they will now part away from here. If possible, Sheila didn't want to have her relationship with Angelica to develop further, simply because of how the 'aura' around her is entirely different than that of her father after she had looked closer into it.

When Sheila was at the hospital, waiting for her father to be discharged, she had gone through another lottery spin. Among the eleven loots, one of them is a skill book with Analyse Skill that Sheila decides to learn it immediately after she saw it in her inventory. After learning the skill and used it to analyse the aura around her father, it explained that if Anthony continues visiting a place where mana is thick, it will become harmful to his body. The reason is simple; it was like if you keep on pouring water in a glass container, eventually it would leak out, right? But if it goes on, the glass container would at one point give In to the pressure, shattered to pieces.

One of the reasons why her father injuries are healing too slow compared to others is also because of this, but after Sheila sprayed the health potion over his body—it does not only help in healing the wounds, it also improved the cell within his body to slowly adapted to the mana of the surrounding. When she had known about it, she was surprised and also terrified knowing that her father would likely suffer even worse if she hadn't used the health potion back then.

As of now, her father wouldn't have much problem living a healthy life, that is if he stopped visiting the 'special' places once for all. Sheila wants to tell her father about it but because she didn't know how to keep the system a secret, the idea was scrapped away when coming upon realisation. The only way she can do is to figure out a way to somehow get the mana out of his body, maybe like the ring she had once gifted to Ria. To people who live in a supernatural world like her, Mana is power by itself, but to the ordinary people, it is a virus that could slowly kill them without them knowing why.

Back on topics, the 'aura' around Angelica is the same in the meaning that the mana leaked out of her body, but she is not an ordinary person by any means. Sheila had looked into it properly this time, and it was similar to the 'aura' around Ria who actually use the mana within her, that is before she got the ring covered for her. Basically, Sheila now has come to know that Angelica is also someone from the same world as her, a real magician of the modern world.

"Oh, is this someone you knew, Sheila?"

"Good afternoon to you, Uncle. Yes, I'm Angelica Ernest, a classmate of Sheila."

"Hmm, I see."

Anthony nodded his head before gesturing the two to enter the Amusement Park, Sheila was going to bid farewell to Angelica and move on to have some fun, but her mother went forward and invited the red-haired girl to enter with them. Sheila was going to reject by making an excuse for not having a ticket but surprisingly, Angelica bought a ticket out of her pocket and said that she received it from winning a lottery. With a smile on her face, Angelica walked next to a devastated Sheila as they entered the Amusement Park, following behind the long line crowd.

Meanwhile…Sylvia at home was wondering why Sheila and her mother have not come home yet even though the latter only said about going shopping while as for Sheila, School should have already ended by now. It has been three hours since Sara left the house with only Sylvia alone, watching the anime in Sheila's room this entire time while waiting for them. She had even begun to wonders if they have forgotten about her. Sylvia was so bored that she would rather spend more time in the Trial Tower to become even stronger instead so that maybe one day, she could be of use to Sheila. Though Sheila promised to her that one day she will show her a path where there's happiness at the end of the road, but Sylvia knows that Sheila was more focused on getting stronger instead.

Because Sylvia herself doesn't know what sort of 'happiness' is she looking for, she would rather look into the 'happiness' that she had as of now which was staying by Sheila's side. Although she couldn't be of use just yet with her current weak stats, Sylvia believes that if she didn't give up and continue leveling up, that day will come when Sheila would ask for her assistance. Feeling fired up by her own thoughts, Sylvia stood up from her seat and decides to enter the Trial Tower. Since she didn't know when they would be coming home, might as well get some 'training' in there, Sheila might even come to visit her like she had done before once in a while.

Closing her eyes shut, Sylvia imagined herself being surrounded in a whole new world and when she regained her sight, her whole surroundings have changed entirely. It still feels so magical every time she entered the Trial Tower, it always amazed her to the core at how amazing the real 'teleportation' is. It would be nice if she had such a convenient ability in the real world, she could use it to travel all around the world! That might not be that bad of a dream.

Sylvia brought out a small mirror out of the inventory before looking into the reflection of herself. The silver-white hair that had caused her tons of trouble has now turned into that of a normal silky black hair, the corner of her mouth raised naturally before she put the mirror back into the inventory as she ready herself for another 'training' with her hands gripped on the hilt of the dagger. Without waiting further, Sylvia accepted a new quest and her 'training' started!
