Capítulo 13: Doesn’t she look familiar?!

While Feng Ye rests and snores away the night, the bored loli in his mind suddenly reveals a mischievous smile. (●´ω`●)

Whenever Feng Ye sleeps, he is absolutely helpless in his mind. The system loli can intrude in his dream with or without his permission. However, he cannot go see the system loli unless he is awake. Initially, the bored system would fool around and troll Feng Ye in his dreams. Unfortunately, as the system had been able to fully read his memory and thoughts he had many unfortunate dreams. Sometimes, he would be able to see his old friends, family members and anime waifus appear before him. However, before a happy end can occur, some random troll event appears. For example, the toilet gets stuck and the excess toilet water floods the house, or just as he wins the lottery, he realizes that the lottery ticket had expired. Sometimes, a random trollface popups up from nowhere giving him a jumpscare.

This night was strangely uneventful. As Feng Ye continues to dream, the system loli had not interrupted. Thus, Feng Ye continues to rest unaware and oblivious of the world. As he is in dreamland, he is unaware of the mysterious changes that occur in the physical world and to his body.

The system loli originally was just a wisp of consciousness. A wisp of consciousness can't really have a true gender and is essentially genderless. However, after a month of sorting through Feng Ye's memory and maintaining the loli form while extracting energy from the environment, the system's consciousness had accumulated full energy and awakened a personality.

This personality always would make fun of Feng Ye and despise him. The personality which had formed is originally apart of the system. Tonight, after Feng Ye's shock, the personality was able to fully develop and take control of the entire system. Naturally, its existence is still interlocked with Feng Ye's so it won't do anything to harm him. However, it's existence is no longer just a formless, genderless consciousness. The system has a real personality now. Rather, she has a personality…

Feng Ye's face shows a mischievous smile as he stands up. This "Feng Ye" then changes into the appearance of the system loli...

***

In the heart of the city of Aven where the Aven Institute of Technology is located, a gathering of the board of directors is occuring in an underground conference room. A meeting which consists of the highest levels of the city. Five individuals sit around a conference table. Each is a member of the board of directors and trying to outdo each other with benefit in mind.

Benefit is forever the number one priority. In this meeting, two males and three females discuss. Each member's identity in the board of directors is anonymous and code names are used to refer to each other. The age range of the group is around 38-45 years of age. The codenames of the members in the board of directors are TIGER, HAWK, CAT, FOX, and LEOPARD, respectively.

Each member wears a mask which is associated to their codename. A male with a tiger mask is the first to direct the conversation topic. "It seems that the student council has also expanded their reach into our partnered businesses. I have no objection in what had occurred tonight. Your thoughts?"

The male besides him with a hawk mask replies, "The student council does seem to be quite rampant. It is good for them to have this lesson. I would also suggest to leave it as is."

The other three females' masks are respectively, a cat, fox, and leopard.

The female with the cat mask also contributes, "With this demonstration of authority to the student council, it may also have them suspect us. So, I would suggest to hold a public ceremony to each school commending the brave feats of Akimichi Yen. This can divert their line of sight."

The female with a leopard mask nods, "Yes, CAT makes a good point. Let's do that. With this event the student council will be quite busy and our underground research can expand during this opportunity. Currently, we only have some minor results in regards to the fusion of gene modification and esper ability extraction. With this opportunity, we could push forward. As long as we don't alert the student council, it should be no issue to suppress them in the near future which would allow us to fully control both the city and the institute."

The meeting finishes. It seems that the undercurrents in the city will only be more turbulent as Akimichi's death seems to be the blasting fuse.

***

A masked man teleports directly into an office located in one of the highest towers within the Aven Institute of Technology. He looks to the woman behind the desk and performs a bowing ritual.

"It is as you have expected, President. The board of directors have initiated a meeting immediately. However, its contents have been shielded and I could not gather information on the discussion. The level security is also top notch." The masked man's words fall.

Surprisingly, if Feng Ye was present, he would recognize that it was Akimichi's voice. However, Akimichi's appearance is completely different than before.

The woman referred to as the president nods. "It seems that they will make their move soon. The peaceful days are coming to an end. How are you feeling by the way, Akimichi-kun? How is this vessel?"

Akimichi, under his mask smiles, and replies, "I am feeling quite well. Thank you for providing me another opportunity to live. However, I can only display around fifty percent of my past ability with this body and will still need some time to get used to it. I was just wondering, what would happen to my roommate?"

The woman smiles. "We will arrange another member of the student enforcer team to ensure his safety. However, your name will need to be changed. You will also need to be careful of exposing your voice. You will be known as AKI, a codename based on your former identity. You will also have a different suite on a different floor."

Akimichi, who is now known as AKI nods. "Yes President." After his words fall, he disappears from the room. The room only has the student council president's form. She stretches her self, yawns and mumbles, "Using this ability does make me quite tired. I'll need to go sleep soon."

***

The following day, Feng Ye had awakened. For some reason, he still felt tired and even sore as though the previous day he had done a complete full body workout. He took a glance at his tablet and noticed that he has been given a week leave from the Kami Institute to "rest and recover". He scrolls down the series of notifications that he had received. Some were from his friends like Haruta, Chu Feng, and Kira who ask if he's alright and that they'll send him the class notes. Additionally, he sees news articles everywhere regarding last night's incident. The board of directors also issued a statement.

Board of directors: We are deeply in sorrow regarding the passing of a student who stood up to protect the majority. Akimichi Yen, a post-secondary student, had sacrificed himself to allow adequate time for the dismantling of explosives. We condemn terrorist behaviour and put an emphasis on the safety of all students and residents within the city. Investigations are ongoing to locate and place on trial the murderer. Akimichi Yen is a hero.

The statement had been quoted and duplicated in numerous articles. There is also a scheduled ceremony in each campus which gives Akimichi a moment of silence. As he continues to look at the news and scrolls the Kami Institute student forums, he notices a few threads which immediately catches his attention. These threads are also in the trending threads section but around a half page below all the threads that are regarding Akimichi's death.

Am I dreaming? I may have saw a ghost! / 81 / 131

These threads weren't as popular as the majority of the students' focus was on the incident regarding Akimichi. However, it seems that there were sightings of laughter in regards to a girl in the middle of the night wandering about. Many believe that it's a ghost, however, one of the threads had included a blurry picture which looks like a small girl with silver hair. It is blurry, however, when Feng Ye saw it he immediately exclaimed, "Doesn't she look familiar?!"

Immediately, Feng Ye visits the loli idling in his mind and is shocked, "Hey, how did you get out and fool around? Stop pretending to be asleep! You seem to have played crazily last night!"

The loli doesn't pay any attention to Feng Ye.

"…" Feng Ye's mouth twitches.

Feng Ye walks up the to the loli and picks her up by her clothes in his mind. "Hey, we are essentially co-existing in this world, you still need to tell me what's up? How did you get out?"

Feng Ye is exasperated. After around thirty minutes of "negotiations", he was able to get the loli to tell him what's up.

System loli: <First. I need a name! (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧ Before you referred to me as the system, but now it seems I have awakened!!! Fu fu fu~ !

I guess since my look is similar to the Shiro of your memories, I'll be called Shira! ≧◡≦

As you may have realized, the system aka me was able to fully gain energy from the environment and have essentially developed a personality.

During the incident in which Akimichi had passed away right before your eyes, you had awakened your esper potential. It seems as though there are two different abilities that you could use. One of them is still unknown, however, the other is essentially a spiritual ability. We can call this ability Spiritual Awareness for now and I'll add it to your attribute page though as it is an esper ability, I cannot provide any means to upgrade it.

This ability strengthens your mental fortitude and also allows me to freely come out through your body. So, when you sleep, naturally I can go out to play!

An astonishing discovery is that when I come out and utilize your body, you would essentially change into my appearance. During this time, you would be unconscious while I take control unless you learn to control your spiritual awareness to a higher level, in which you can become an observer like I am. The benefits is that when I take control, all your attributes increase by 200% and your abilities increase by 2 levels in regards to all abilities I have provided you. This is because you are essentially the medium from me, the consciousness, to you, the body. However, with this ability, we can essentially directly remove you as the medium. Naturally, I cannot come out unless you allow me to or fall asleep.

Here is a summary to help you understand.

SYSTEM -> Feng Ye consciousness - > Feng Ye Body (Normal attributes)

SYSTEM -> Feng Ye Body (Attribute boost)>

Feng Ye's eyes widen in disbelief and his jaw drops down. "DAFUQ!?"

He looks around the hospital room and notices some silver strands of hair and immediately places it into the system space. It seems that what the loli said was true. She can come out when I'm asleep.

"Okay, I understand Shira. But, could you please not come out at night, maybe we can discuss a specific day for you to play instead. It would cause too much trouble! Also, WTF, am I really decreasing my potential that much simply by existing as a 'medium'?! 200% attribute increase and three level increase? Dafuq?!"

Shira: <Haha, it just means you are a weakling. Hurry up and train and master your abilities. Naturally, don't forget to give me energy. It's boring in this space, I need to go out and explore as well…>

The loli named Shira who is the system pouts.

Feng Ye sighs. "How about this.. At the end of the month, you can come out and have control for 24 hours. However, the premise is that you don't cause trouble and stay lowkey."

The loli's face lit up and brightens immediately.

Shira: <Hehehe~ Of course!>

Feng Ye now has another safeguard. In the event he can't handle his enemy, he'll just let this loli take over. Easy! The only issue would be that he'll be unconscious and that he will change into the loli's appearance...unless he can convince her to use the Hidden Wanderer ability. Feng Ye lies down and stares at the ceiling. "It's time to get out of the hospital."

He heads out and prepares the journey back to his suite. While he is commuting, he recalls the attribute panel.

Capítulo 14: The Hero Rescues the Beautiful

Feng Ye returns to his suite. Taking a look at the empty room which used to be Akimichi's, he sighs. While he was in the hospital, some staff members had come in to remove Akimichi's belongings and clean the suite.

Feng Ye wanders around the suite as memories of the last month resurface. Thoughts about Akimichi's last words continue to resonate in his mind accompanied by the normal everyday moments that had occurred the past month.

"It really is true. The everyday moments that one neglects is really the best moments. One really doesn't realize such moments until after losing it…" Feng Ye mutters.

"What to do during this week leave…?" Feng Ye isn't one to idle about. Especially after seeing Akimichi's poor state, Feng Ye had hardened his resolve to increase his strength.

He needs to do some reflecting and decides to stroll through the city with his leave from the institute. The system loli, Shira, had mentioned that he had another hidden ability which exists but still needs to be uncovered. Thus, to calm his mind and, perhaps, obtain some inspiration, Feng Ye strolls through the metropolis. Naturally, at this time, he doesn't have the thoughts to pay much attention to his surroundings. As Feng Ye was ranked first in the entrance examination, naturally, some people are always paying attention. Unknowingly, he is followed as he strolls along.

Feng Ye strolls through the city until it becomes dark. The bright sky finally dims and the magnificence of the city lights are demonstrated throughout the streets. As he is lost in thought, he doesn't notice vibrations from his phone as a certain figure catches his attention.

"Really, it seems that after that event, security seems to have weakened… It seems that the student enforcer team might be in the process of rearrangement."

He is rather confident in his strength and cards in hand so dealing with low ranked espers should be no problem. Especially with the safeguard of his Spiritual Awareness ability and Shira Takeover, he should have no issues. He notices the figure darting into a nearby alleyway.

Naturally, as a student, he had been told to not go into such alleyways alone especially in busy cities like New York back in his old world. Normally, Feng Ye would walk away. He's no hero and doesn't want to involved in troublesome matters. However, now, he urgently needs to increase his strength. Besides the system, he still hasn't uncovered his mysterious esper ability yet. Thus, he needs to defeat or murder organisms to gain energy points. In a sense, his action now can be what one calls, "looking for trouble."

He follows the darting shadow into the alleyway, while also changing his appearance to another common Chinese male appearance whose face is easily lost in the crowd. In the alleyway, he notices a group of delinquent students who may be from another campus surrounding a girl and harassing her. From their dialogue, even an idiot can tell it's plain harassment and their intentions are illegal. The girl has a rather distressed appearance with some tears rolling down her face.

Feng Ye sighs and thinks to himself, "Doesn't this scenario look familiar…. How many novels have I read that seem to have this "hero rescues the beautiful" scene. Oh well, even if it's cliche, all for the energy points! Romance? Not interested for now."

Feng Ye walks near the students and sighs, "Isn't it rather low to gang up on a women during these ungodly hours?"

The group of students consist of around 4 members. A rather gruff looking student who appears to be the leader of the group questions, "Who are you? Get lost!"

"Really, why go to such a low? You should let the girl go." Feng Ye calmly replies.

The gruff looking student snorts and immediately attacks Feng Ye with his fist. Just as Feng Ye is about to send this random flying, an unexpected interruption occurs.

From above, a figure drops down in between Feng Ye and the gruff looking student. This figure does a roundhouse kick which sends the delinquent flying backwards. Before Feng Ye could get a glimpse of the appearance of this individual, the individual immediately rushes and stuns the rest of the group with a burst of electricity which paralyzes the remaining three.

After doing so, the individual gently asks the distressed girl, "Hey, are you alright? You are safe now, but I still need you to follow me to write up a report."

A nod is given as a response from the distressed victim.

Feng Ye's mouth twitches. He questions in his mind. "Is the script wrong?!" The system loli named, Shira, laughs. Shira had her fair share of light novels from Feng Ye's memory and can understand Feng Ye's current surprise.

The individual, after reassuring the distressed girl, turns and faces Feng Ye with some sparks of electricity in her hand crackling excitedly. This individual is around 5''6 in height and has purple, long hair. She seems to be of Japanese descent. Her manner is a rather serious one. On her sleeve, three words can be seen, "Student Enforcer Team." She had a rather athletic build with a nice figure and a developing chest. Her age is probably around the early twenties, a bit older than Feng Ye's real age (20).

She inquiries in a commanding tone, "What's your purpose here?"

Feng Ye calmly replies, "I noticed this woman in distress, naturally, it is important to help."

"Suspicious. The hero rescues the beautiful? What a joke. Do you think this is some novel?" The girl from the student enforcer team questions.

"Yes, it does seem like a cliche setting in a novel, however, you can ask her to testify for me." Feng Ye replies while referring to the distressed girl behind.

The girl from the student enforcer team glances at the distressed girl and notices her acknowledgement. "Okay, as you were also present, please also follow me to write up this report." As her words fall, the electricity in her palm vanishes along with the intense intimidating aura.

Just as the group was about to head towards the student enforcer team headquarters to fill out the report, the girl from the enforcer team turns around and shows a photo on her phone. "Have you seen this person wandering around, by the way? He also seemed to have be around the area you were in."

After seeing that picture, Feng Ye's mouth twitches again… "Your mother! Isn't that a picture of me?!" He exclaims in his mind.

The bored loli, Shira, in his mind replies, "Hahahaha~! It is you. Haha~!"

Feng Ye calms his mind to not give away any clues that may expose him and shakes his head indicating that he has not seen such an individual. The distressed girl also indicates that she doesn't know.

The girl from the student enforcer team sighs. "How troublesome.. No problem, let's finish these reports."

***

Feng Ye arrives in his suite after completing the report and getting a quick meal along the way. Naturally, at this time, he has changed back to his normal "Feng Ye" appearance. As he opens the door, he notices someone in the washroom utilizing the shower.

"???" With his mind filled with question marks, Feng Ye decides not to barge in but head into the living room. "Screw the tropes.. Why do I have a bad feeling about this..?"

He decides to take this time to catch up on any missed notifications as he was too distracted by the events that had occurred tonight.

Notification of New Roommate: The student council has decided to pair you up with another member of the student enforcer team. Due to limited availability of members, the student council has made an exception for you to be paired with the opposite gender. This message also serves as a reminder to not have illegal intentions. The roommate's primary focus is for your safety.

After seeing this notification, Feng Ye glances at the picture of the individual and the name, Kotori Miku. Feng Ye is immediately depressed. This picture belongs to the terrifying girl from the student enforcer team. This is truly an unfortunate realization. Tonight, he had gained zero energy points as he had no involvement and didn't even make body contact with the delinquents. Now, he has to room with this dangerous girl. Even just remembering the amount of electrical energy she had in her palm, would send shivers down Feng Ye's spine. This girl should be rank A. It seems that all the rank B espers have been assigned or are busy.

Feng Ye is suddenly enlightened. So, that's why the girl was looking for him. She was his roommate. It seems like it is absolutely necessary to not piss off this new roommate. He would rather not have an electrifying experience.

As his train of thought concludes, the sound from the shower stops. It seems that he will be meeting his new roommate as "Feng Ye."

Feng Ye is a little nervous as he has never stayed in the same living space with any female except his mother. The door of the washroom opens and the girl that he had met earlier walks out humming a tune. She realizes that someone else is in the room and shows an embarrassed expression. However, a quick moment later, she seems to have gotten angry out of shame and an intense aura suddenly fills the entire room. Electricity starts to build up and crackle in her palms.

Feng Ye shifts backwards with his back drenched with cold sweat. "I just got here. Nice to meet you Kotori-san, I am Feng Ye." Feng Ye does his best to sound as though he didn't notice the girl was humming a moment ago. He tried to look oblivious to his surroundings.

It seems that this introduction did the trick. The girl takes back her intense aura and with a gentle smile replies, "Hello Feng-kun, I am Kotori Miku. I hope we can get along well."

"Phew." Feng Ye sighs and comments to the loli in his mind, Shira. "That was a close call. Lucky."

"It is rather late tonight. You shouldn't be heading out so late. We can discuss some agreements tomorrow and introductions then. Have a good night."

Kotori Miku heads into the empty room which used to belong to Akimichi. The room seems to no longer be empty and filled with clothing, etc.

"It seems that she had moved here earlier today while I was wandering around. I wonder if this roommate is good or bad news..." Feng Ye thinks to himself.

Without further ado, Feng Ye prepares to get ready to sleep.
