Reincarnated As The Diabolic System-Chapter 15 14. He’s Here!
Shane heard the noise of someone sobbing beside him the moment he came back to himself. This voice was so familiar that he could recognize that it was his sister with his eyes closed.
"Sob sob. Bro, why are you like this?! At least, give me your powers before you die!"
Yup, that was definitely his sister. She didn't cry for him, but for losing his powers.
Shane couldn't help but feel his head aching at that. His fingers unconsciously moved as if they were trying to massage his head. f𝐫𝑒𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧૦𝘃𝗲l.c𝚘𝘮
Just then, he heard the girl's ear-piercing scream, "BROTHER! YOU'RE AWAKE!"
A groan escaped his lips, "Stop yelling. I think I'm having a hangover."
"You didn't even drink."
"But it feels exactly like that," Shane pushed himself up only to find that he was already in his room. He rubbed his head in a helpless manner, "What happened?"
"The bald—" she coughed in embarrassment after saying that word, "—I mean the instructor called it off after you fell unconscious. He saved us both from the Goblins."
"Eh? He did?" Shane frowned as if he was trying to remember something, but forgot about it for some reason. His brows furrowed, but in the end, he couldn't remember anything at all. But in his heart, why did he feel uncomfortable after hearing that it was the bald man who had saved them back then?
Just as he was thinking about it, he felt a stinging pain throbbing in his head that made his headache worse than before. He closed his eyes and pressed his fingers against his head. When he stopped thinking about it, his headache was gone.
Since he couldn't remember a thing, he might as well be thankful, but to be thankful to that person….
He scoffed as he crossed his arms on his chest, "It's his duty to save us. He didn't do anything excessive."
"He did," a voice echoed in the background, making them both stunned. They turned their heads in that direction only to find a certain familiar robot sitting on the window with its legs dangling inside. There was a piece of branch that he kept chewing on as he wore western fantasy robes that made him look like a young prince or something with blond hair and blue eyes.
This robot didn't seem like a robot, but Tess and Shane weren't fooled by this thing's appearance. Even this robot's name was 'Dirt' given by his own master.
Shane's eyes narrowed, "What are you doing here?"
"Carrying out a menial order from my master," Dirt paused as he made a disgusted expression on his face, "Why did he make me do this? I'm the prince of all robots, and yet he named me Dirt! Can you believe it? I was supposed to live a luxurious life filled with fame! But who exactly remembers me anymore? Sigh."
Shane and Tess were staring at the robot with blank expressions on their faces. They didn't even know what this robot was talking about.
Dirt coughed awkwardly and said, "I was ordered to keep an eye on you guys."
"Why?" Shane was even more confused at this point. Since they had passed the weird test somehow, they should be out of any kind of suspicion. Then why was that bald man still keeping an eye on him? Did something happen when Shane fell unconscious?
"Now that he's awake, go back. Your work is over," Tess waved her hand in a dissatisfied manner.
"Hey, girl! Do you have any idea whom you're talking to?" Dirt pointed his finger at himself, "I'm the legendary Royal 2IOX robot! There's only one similar to me in existence, but I'm not allowed to fight that damned robot, otherwise, we would know who is more powerful among us!" 𝒇𝐫ℯ𝑒𝒘ℯ𝑏n𝑜ѵ𝐞l.c𝗼𝗺
"What's he talking about?" Shane finally leaned toward his sister and whispered, "He has gone mad, it seems."
"I guess he's been overworking these days. I had no idea he had been keeping an eye on us the entire time! You were only unconscious for three days straight, and this robot kept staring through the window without saying a word. Talk about being creepy."
"Hey, I'm still here, and my ears have superhuman capabilities!" The robot rubbed his forehead in a frustrated manner and said, "Forget it. Let's go. Master asked me to bring you with me whenever you're awake."
Tess was about to stand up but Dirt stopped her, "Not you. Only Shane."
The guy was still sitting on the bed as he frowned, "But I haven't even freshened up. Can't you wait for a while?"
Dirt moved his fingers as bright energy gathered at the top of his finger to form a bright white ball as he directed it toward Shane's body, which started sparkling after touching him. When the light subsided, Shane's body had a new set of robes and his entire body smelt like roses with a mix of a wine scent. Even his stomach seemed to be empty at this point.
While he was still surprised, Dirt spoke, "Humph, dirty humans…Er systems. And they say my name is Dirt. Come with me."
With nothing to refute the robot's words, Shane pulled himself up to his feet and started dragging his body after the robot. They walked through the corridor before ending up in a familiar pathway. The two of them continued walking ahead without saying another word. Shane was bored, but he didn't dare slack off. He knew how powerful that bald person was, and if he was the one who had saved him and his sister, he couldn't just ignore that man out of rudeness.
He didn't like accepting someone's help without paying them back. So even if he didn't like the man, he would have to s*ck it up and meet that bald man.
This time, they didn't turn in the direction where Dirt's room was there. Instead, they headed over in the opposite direction which had several rooms that seemed as if they were modern classrooms with chairs and a podium.
Dirt stopped in front of one of the classrooms as he yawned and said, "Master, he's here."
Shane looked inside awkwardly.
Many youths whom he had seen and hadn't that day were sitting here like ordinary students. He even saw Frank who he hadn't seen for a long time as his eyes lit up. He was about to call out to the stern-looking youth when the bald man standing behind the podium cleared his throat and said, "Let's check you up first."
