My System & My Academy of Superpowers

"Gwen, I got to go," 

"Oh sure," she let go of his arm. Ryan took off running in Naomi's direction. 

Devon spot him coming their way, he was about to take the chance and talk with Naomi but as soon as he saw Ryan coming their way, he lost hope. 

Ryan did not catch Devon staring at him when he reached near Naomi who was about to leave the assembly hall but stopped after seeing Ryan. 

"Hey, Naomi." Devon turned around. 

"Ah, Ryan, what is it?" her tone was not cheerful. She was not sad either. 

"Uh, is it okay if we talk about it here?"

"About what?" 

"We are going to Japan,"

"So?"

"Your family situation?" Devon was hearing everything they were talking about. 

"My family situation? Oh, that..." She took a pause, "I am fucking okay with it. My parents have already signed the form, there's no fucking going back,"

"Will you be fine?" 

"Ryan," she placed her hand on his arm, "You are fucking thinking too much about it. It's not that much of an issue as you are making it sound," 

"Huh?"

"I mean, I am fucking fine. You should stop caring about this. You do not fucking want to get involved in my family shit. Just forget this and focus on yourself," She moved her hand. 

Ryan felt like he went overboard. She was right. It was their family problem. There was no need for Ryan to interfere, he did not have those intentions though, but he realized, out of his care for Naomi he was interfering in her family matters. He had no rights whatsoever to interfere with her family matters. 

"Right. You are right," he took a step back, "I should not think about it," 

"Yes."

'Family matters? What are they talking about?' Devon thought. 

"Naomi," Devon called, "We should get going," 

"Oh yeah right. Later, Ryan." she went away with Devon leaving Ryan alone there. 

The assembly hall was starting to clear up, many students and teachers were leaving the hall. The hall was almost empty. Ryan looked up.

"I was worrying for nothing," he sighed, "Guess I will just spend my day in my room as always."

* Flashback *

"Come out of your room for once!" She was shouting again… like always, "For god's sake!" mom continued shouting.

"Honey, calm down for a minute, take a breath,"

"Oh shut up! Do you even know how much time he spends in his room the whole day? He does not come out, does not study, just keeps this tick-tick with the laptop for the whole day!

God knows what he keeps doing. How can someone stay inside the room for the whole day? Comes out for eating only!" it was a usual thing for me. Nothing new.

"Ryan! You heard your mom, come out for a second,"

"I can not. I am studying," I lied in a lousy tone which was enough for my father to catch my lie.

"You do not study, whom are you fooling?"

"Study. Yes, and study!" Mom started again, "He never studies! He never studies! Keeps chatting with someone on the internet, never comes out of his room, and never studies. 

Does he even know the importance of studying in his life? There is nothing he can do if he does not study! The study is the only thing that will keep him alive! If he would not study, nothing can happen to him in the future.

He got to study. He got to understand, he is not born with a superpower; studying is the only thing for him to do. And he does not even do it seriously. Why do not you tell him a few things?!"

'Come on, I have had enough of this study shit. I do not want to study, this is not something I can do, this is out of my caliber.'

* End of the Flashback *

It was a strange feeling for Ryan. once before, all he wanted was to stay in his room with his laptop and anime stuff but he was not able to, his parents did not let him do. 

And now, when he had no one to keep him from staying inside his room and chatting with Erin… he did not have Erin and his parents. He did not want to do it anymore. The feeling in his heart was bitter.

'God. I am feeling pathetic again.' he thought as he walked out of the assembly hall. 

'Right now, I have everything. Money, laptop, anime, myself… but I do not feel like doing anything.' many more complex thoughts entered his mind. In the end, Ryan decided to go with this option: Sleep all day.

He opened the door of his room. Threw himself straight on the bed without doing anything. "Someone. Save me." with that, he dozed off.

After a few hours, Ryan was awoken by a robotic voice in his head. 

Ding. ding. Ding. ding. 

It continued ringing till he gained his consciousness back. 

< Your body is growing weak >

< your hunger is growing >

< Feed yourself with blood or iron-rich food >

< Blood level: 5/30 >

< HP: 10/30 >

When Ryan woke up from that sound, he realized that this time, the HP and blood level were not in ratio.

Usually, if he loses 1 health point it would be replaced by a blood level point and he would lose one blood point which kept things in ratio.

But here, his HP went down a little but it took more blood than it should take from Ryan to heal his HP back. This was not usual. 

"Now what's wrong with you, System?" he asked knowing that he would not get a reply in return.

"Ryan." his eyes went wide, "Hey, Ryan~" 

"I- impossible!" 

"Open the door, Ryan~!" He realized that the voice was not coming from the System in his head.

Ryan sat up on his bed and turned around. He heard a few knocks. The calls were coming from someone on the door. It was a feminine voice. Nothing like that of the robotic voice.

"W- who is it?"

"You do not recognize my voice! Seriously Ryan? It's me, open the door." that made it clear who it was. Not like the person told who it was but he recognized the voice.

Ryan quietly went to the door and opened it. He saw Doc standing right in front of him. 

"Here," she threw a bottle of blood, "And this," then she threw a tablet. She stepped inside. 

"Aah~" he was not able to catch them both at the same time. They started falling off his arms. 

"Oh shit," Doc tried catching them.

"Crap." he started juggling those two big things in his hand. Both were made of glass and both were important. He could not let any one of them fall.
