17 Primary Deviation Identified (1/2)
Latin class passed rather uneventfully - there was a minor amount of classical history discussed, but it was prior to the start of the Common Era, so the system wasn't as interested in it. They passed their homework up to the front, received a new assignment, and Michael had a new mission generated. With that, they departed class.
Michael made plans with Valeria and Jeremy to meet up in front of the changing rooms after Gym to head over to the cafe like yesterday, and then went down to the Computer Lab. He only had a few minutes before the bell rang - not enough time to do any of the research that he wanted to - so he decided to get a head start on pushing forward his typing.
The rest of the class piled in quickly, and everyone else sat down and started to do the same thing. Michael seemed to get into a kind of zone, and the time went by very quickly. He was still incrementally increasing his abilities, and the system noted some minor increases accordingly. His Limit Pusher title crept forward a little bit more, as well.
After that, the teacher gave them all some time to focus on their projects. Michael opened up Encyclopaedia Romanica and began his research. Considering the goals for his Extra Credit mission, he decided to start from the beginning of the Common Era, with the formation of the Empire. He quickly pulled up articles on both that event and the first Emperor, Augustus.
”Augustus reigned from the age of 35 until his 99th birthday. It was on this Day that he ascended to join his father as the second Divine Emperor, to be succeeded by his daughter, Julia the Eternal...” he muttered to himself as he read.

”Sure...”, Michael agreed, and entered the search terms.
”It looks like he did visit Nola that year, and had been ill for several months leading up to it. However, his health improved while he was there. Unfortunately, after a visit from his daughter Julia and stepson Tiberius, Tiberius passed away due to a sudden illness of his own.”

Michael's eyes lit up at these rewards. Extra Credit was really worth it!! He wasn't sure why the system valued this information so much, but it looks like it was willing to shell out quite a bit for it. Taking the system's advice, he decided to close down these windows and focus on more of the general history as he began to summarize the years of the Julio-Claudian dynasty.
Once they entered free time, Michael quickly searched up the prefabricated bathroom components he'd been thinking about. He followed the system's suggestions on dimensions for a standing shower and separate bathtub that would be large enough to fully submerge in. The cost was a bit high, but he thought that between the existing budget his parents had allocated, his savings from work earlier that summer, and the money he'd be making soon, he'd be able to afford it.

Soon the bell rang again and it was time to head over to the library. By this point, Michael's stomach was growling quite a bit - it seemed like all of the extra exercise was starting to increase his appetite! He walked in, waved at Mr. Maddox, and went to sit down. Between Lunch and Free Period afterwards, he had two hours in the Library. He started to go through the options for how to use his time.
He could spend time on English, Chemistry, the latest Latin homework, or something else. He still needed to research nutrition plans for the system, and he also had some thoughts about doing some research on fitness and physical development, since it seemed like doing proper research on things was one way to unlock access to items inside the system.
Suddenly, a thought occurred to him. ”System?”

”Would the library qualify as a location to use Enhanced Focus abilities?”
