Chapter 29 I Know Nothing, I See Nothing (1/2)

Three days later.

For the past three days, Sheila had been feeling uncomfortable. She felt like someone was always watching her whenever she went outside in public. The feeling grew stronger when she was at school. She had thought the two guys who she stripped naked from before were stalking her for revenge, but since she wasn't attacked or anything, so she just shrugged it off. Is it harassment that they are going for? If so, it is working.

She tried to look for the source, but whenever she did, the uncomfortable feeling washes away as if didn't exist at all. It seemed that whoever is watching her is also vigilant that she might take notice of them. Although it feels uncomfortable, surprisingly, the gaze doesn't seem to contain ill intent. Which was why she only feel uncomfortable and not danger from it.

While she was searching for the source at the school, she heard the students speaking of rumor about the unique junior again. But this time it was about how she was acting strangely for the past few days. She was probably on her bad day at that time of the month. How could Sheila imagine that the uncomfortable feeling actually came from this junior of her? There's no way it crossed her mind at all.

Sheila has been focusing on training her skills whenever she could. After three days, all the active skills are now level 2. She could now send out a wind slash from her knife like the one from the anime, but that was a sword while she was using a knife. It could easily cut the goblin's head off its body like a knife cutting butter.

It would be much cooler if she has a sword instead of the kitchen knife. But who in the world would sell such dangerous weapon as a sword in the modern-day, right? It's possible to finds gun though, but she doesn't have any of such convenient skill like gunmanship. You also require a license to buy one which would be a pain in the neck to explain to her mother why she needs a gun. She could only wish that one day, the monster might drop a sword or getting one from lottery and shop. Both options require luck, but the latter is very costly. As long as she saves gold starting from now on, she would be getting one any time early in the future.

With the Flame Magic at Level 2, she could now conjure fire arrow! She could conjure it up to three fire arrows at once at the cost of 20MP. It was costly, but she was okay with it since she could kill the slime with the fire arrow from a safe distance. Basically, she had acquired a long-distance attack spell. It was definitely worth the golds she used to buy the mana potion before firing the fireball spell repeatedly at the goblin coming straight to her, earning her a couple of golds back with the experience for her flame magic. Hitting two bird with one stone or so they said. Did I say something about saving gold? You must be mistaken.

When the disguise skill went up to level 2, she gained an ability to change her body structure, such as making herself taller or shorter. She could secretly raise her height slowly until everyone thought it was normal since she was still in her growing phase, and finally, she could earn the right to officially joining the tall club! That was a joke; she is not short by any means. She could now become lolita , old grandma or lolita , and lolita . But she was still unable to become a cat. The road is still long ahead nya.

And lastly, the presence detection is now level 2. Sheila could sense presence from the flow of mana in the surrounding air of 20 meters afar. Now, you must be curious. Did I finally found the culprit for the cause of feeling uncomfortable? The answer to that is... Yes. Unfortunately, yes, I saw her. How I wish I could go back in time and stopped myself from doing it. I would rather not know about this and stay oblivious, but I couldn't help it now. Why.. Just why is that girl stalking me with the sparkling eyes.

I have done nothing wrong in the past few days, I swear! What did I do to deserve this? Now, I understood and knew the rumor was actually true. She is, indeed a strange fellow. Where did the respectable student who scores top academics go? Why is she following me even to the bathroom? I'm starting to get scared now. This is even harder than trying to fight a group of goblins.

Should I ask her? But I don't want to know her answer! I know! Let's just ignore it and be done with it, yes, let's go with that.
