Chapter 37 party(4)

I messed up, I had a lot of stuff to do, now I have to handle this problem.

The dude was really big and buffed up, and looked very angry.

I backed down a bit, apologized for what I had done, and came in front of him to clean the mess that I had made.

Suddenly I felt a weight fall on the right side of my face, my head felt light, and I could see the people around me blurring and lights flickered over my head, my legs crumpled and I had fallen. I felt the taste of blood in my mouth and my whole head felt miserable.

"Hit him hard amigo, show that low numbered scum like him has no place here", I heard people in the cafeteria cheering him up to hit me again and I heard the voice of my friends trying to stop him, I heard some bashing sounds and tried to get up to check whether my friends were okay.

I slowly stood up, and I felt a punch again, "Leave him alone Alex, that's enough", I couldn't guess the person but I was sure that it was one of my friends who was trying to save me.

My glasses were broken and I had fallen again. The cafeteria was becoming a mess, I was sure this guy must have been from one of the big families, otherwise he wouldn't dare to hit me publicly, so I didn't want to involve my family in this trouble as I was sure this would go out of their hands and would come hit me back again, even if what I had done was only an accident.

Someone was clearing out the crowd to check out on the commotion, I saw this as my chance to get out of trouble. A heated conversation was going on between my friends and Alex's gang and I saw the back door of the cafeteria was open without anyone around. I quickly searched for my glasses and wore them, then slowly got up without anyone noticing, and ran as fast as I can towards the beast training hall as I was sure no one would be there. On the way, I texted my friends on my smartwatch, that they didn't need to mention the situation about him getting beaten to the authorities who they were probably going to meet, as I was sure the crowd and the bully will probably say nothing happened there. If they say the same then whoever came there would only think that it was due to an accident probably the spilling of food.

I still had my lunch with me in my backpack, never miss your food no matter what, that's a lesson I learned from the system through its threatens and I had the fear still etched on to me.

"Master why did you not fight back, I am sure you would have won", said the system as I pressed the button to move to G1, beast training hall.

I stood silently for some time examining my wounds and my glasses. I was sure the wounds will heal within the lunch due to the nanites, but the pain I felt will take some time to go away from my mind.

I slowly spoke, "If I give in to the temptations and beat the hell out of that guy I would have felt satisfied for a moment, but I am sure my heart would not have been at peace after that and I would probably attract all the high numbered families against me, which will happen eventually but I have to get strong till I can oppose their strength with my own power without getting my friends and family into trouble", I replied to the system for its early question.

After acquiring the system I feel like my brain thinks out every way to achieve the maximum in the most peaceful way. Was this due to my wish or was it the way that I was built, I had no idea.

I heard a notification sound and I thought it was the elevator making the sound as I had arrived at the beast training hall, as soon as I stepped in, I heard a voice.

"Ben Chase, are you here for the cleaning duty which Mr.Jacob suggested ?, and are you fine I can trace some injuries on your body, do you want me to take a look at them?", asked Helda.

"Yes, I am here for the cleaning duty and I am sure it will recover on its own", I replied.

"Your recovery rate tells a different story...", Helda started speaking, but I didn't listen to her, I slowly opened my lunch box and started to eat. I wonder what happened to the system, it would be dying to talk with her, but it has been quiet after asking that strange question on the elevator.

" So Helda, how long do you think it would take me to recover my wounds on my face?", I asked her.

"I can't say that for sure Ben, this morning when I scanned you, you had a normal amount of recovery rate, but now I am getting readings of very low recovery rate from your entire body and my scanner had been not able to scan your heart and head, both the times I have scanned you, and I don't think you can clean this room in this condition, so I have already arranged for the Robo-maids to take care of it. Don't worry I will keep it a secret from Mr.Jacob ", replied Helda.

I totally forgot that I had a party this evening and I can't go to it with a wrecked-up face, so I opened up my backpack, took out a first aid kit prepared by my mother using medicinal herbs.

One of the Robo-maid cleaning the hall came near me to help me apply the medicine, on Helda's command. The Robo-maids were humanoids shaped exactly like humans and made entirely to satisfy a person's needs. Don't let your imagination run wild after hearing this, the hands of the Robo-maid gently applied medicine to my face and its touch felt soft like a caring mother .

Helda sure speaks a lot when I ask her questions, I chuckled a bit hearing her speak like this, and suddenly an idea hit me.

"Helda, when was the last time you had friends to talk to?", I asked, because this was how I acted with people before when I didn't have friends, except for Ricky.

"Friends, I don't have any friends and I only meet with humans from time to time, when they come for the beast training hall, but they won't often talk to me like friends", replied Helda with a sad tone.

Even for an AI, she was far advanced than other AI's I have interacted with, she showed a lot of emotions, no wonder the system was obsessed with her. Is this how the system also feels, I felt sorry for him.

"Would you like to be my friend", I asked Helda.

"Yes ", she replied with a joyful voice.

"Hey, System this is your cue come out and say how to get her to get in touch with you," said I to the system. But no answer came from it, "System, system...", I called out in my head, but no response came out.

I didn't have much time, I opened the system interface and I could see some notifications stating

'System update progress 10 %

, New information uploading,

1 Hidden quest completed, and

1 hidden quest in progress

Maintenance-Voice function will be available shortly.

"Not now ...what can I do? Yes, the IP address"

"Helda I know it may sound strange, but I have a friend who is a system like you, but he needs your IP address to contact you, would you mind giving me it", I asked Helda.

"Yes, I will gladly give it to you, I am not afraid of giving you my IP address, and don't worry about my safety, even if you lost it and it gets in the wrong hands, I have a pretty strong security which gives a punch back to any hacker", replied Helda sweetly.

I quickly noted down the IP address which she recited in my smartwatch and I checked out the time and the next mod class was about to start.

"Goodbye, Helda, see you tomorrow, I want to introduce you to my friends and so I am planning to have my lunch here with my friends from tomorrow, you don't mind do you?"

"Sure Ben, I will be eagerly waiting for you and your friends, Goodbye"

I quickly exited the hall with a joyful heart, as I had gained a new friend.
