Chapter 70 Class Restriction (1/2)

”The number you have dialed is not responding...”

”Oh right, she was currently in that place.”

Sheila was desperate in looking for a backup that her brain stopped working and forget that Ria was still in the Trial Tower. It seems that Ria spent a lot of time in there since by now, 6 hours should have passed in there. Sheila gets up from the chair before telling her mother that she will be in her room and headed upstairs.

Once she steps into her room, she immediately locked the door. Since Sheila is going to visit Ria in the Trial Tower, she didn't want her mother to suddenly come into her room and finds out that she has gone. Before teleporting into the Trial Tower, Sheila used her detection skill to make sure that she was alone in her room, and no one else is here.

Sheila was still wary of her surroundings due to past events. She didn't like the feeling of being someone's puppet while not knowing anything and just followed the script that was given. Although that previous event told her the systems not just listening but also watching her the whole time, she still has her suspicions that someone else, a living being like her is actually the one behind the system.

The reason is that at the time when Ria told her it was from someone else, Sheila had used her skill to the maximum potential and she found a clue that shows someone did, in fact, come into her room. It wasn't her mother nor herself but someone unknown. The fact that the Presence Detection skill level up to 3 showed that she is not wrong.

Or maybe, the clue was left behind for her? After all, if there's a person who managed the system, it should know how it works. Sheila was conflicted on whether or not to believe the clue that was left behind. Because she is not sure about it, she didn't tell Ria and kept it a secret for now. She didn't want Ria to be worried unnecessarily.

The heat sign she feels from her skill only showed one downstairs in the kitchen, which means no one else is here except mother and herself. Sheila slowly opened her eyes after she turned off the detection skill before teleporting herself into the Trial Tower.

”Hap!”

Sheila looked over when she heard the noise Ria made when she swung her silver sword. Ria was currently fighting against three slimes that have her surrounded. Although she was sweating, it doesn't seem that she would fail here. Whenever the slime hit her, she would retreat to heal herself before jumping back into the battle and resume her fights.

It sounds easy when said but to do so is very hard. When Ria was retreating, she has to make sure that she didn't go to the wrong side. She also needs to heal faster since although the slime is slow, her healing also takes time. It wasn't just that, she also needs to be on her guard for any possible sneak attack while she was healing.

And that was why she was surprised to see Sheila when she went back to heal herself while warily looking around her surroundings before the figure of Sheila appears in her view. Thankfully it didn't distract her from the battle as she resumes the fight to finish off the last slime.

”What are you doing here?”

Ria asked Sheila while she was wiping the sweat on her forehead with the handkerchief she kept in the inventory. She had thought Sheila would be busy teaching the girl about the Trial Tower and stuff, that was why she didn't expect to see her here.

”I have already finished my business with Sylvia and just get back home.”

Sheila answered promptly, knowing that Ria would be asking her such a question.

”Is that so, then are you here simply to watch me?”

”Well, that is..”

Sheila slowly said while scratching her head.

”You know, umm..”

”Just get on it.”

”My father is coming back home, so I need you to be my backup! Please!”

Sheila shouted, stating the reason behind her presence being here before proceeding to kneel in front of Ria. The second person that Sheila is scared of is her father; of course, the first place is her mother. But since she has been living with Sara a lot longer than her father, she has gotten used to Sara.

Even up until now she never knew what kind of job her father worked for, and if asked, her father would dodge the question by saying it was a business but didn't describe anything else. Sara seems to know about it, but she also keeps her mouth shut. Sheila had long given up on asking about her father's actual 'business'.

”Really? Uncle is coming back home?”

”Yes, that's why I need you there if anything untoward happens.”

”Well, knowing you, it's possible.”
