Luck

Another thing that bugged me was why i had received soul essence. I had neither hit the wolf nor offered any help.

By the time i reached Jake's poison was starting to kick in.

I told Jake and Alex but they didn't seem surprised.

"Damien how do you think we were able to match the wolf's stats"

Hearing this it finally clicked, despite not being able use my ability like before, the armour that Jake and Alex us is from it.

So it could be said that i indeed participated in the battle.

I said to them

"This is both good and bad news"

Jake seemed a little confused, so i explained

"The good news is that i will be able to get soul essence from you guys in any battle"

Jake became excited 

"That's great, with this you won't get left behind by us"

Alex shook his head and said to Jake

"The problem is that it will slow us down as well since the soul essence we get will be divide"

I nodded at that. But Jake didn't seem to care and said

"Doesn't that mean we just have to hunt higher level monsters, with our armours it should be possible"

For a moment i looked at Jake and wondered

'Is his intelligence stat higher than the system shows'

Seeing that this issue was sorted out, i turned to the girl who had started waking up.

She seemed confused but after remembering what had happened, she quickly looked around.

Spotting the dead wolf, she sighed

"sigh"

But then she remembered. Her gaze landed on us.

Almost instinctively she got up and dashed to the door. I didn't try to stop her. She reached the door but seemed hesitant to open it.

I had thought she would continue but instead turned back at us. Because i could vaguely feel her intentions, i knew she realised something.

Heading down i like sending yourself to your own death.

To her we are bad people but we are bad people who can kill those monsters. If one had to choose to survive then it had to be with us.

She steeled her resolve and walked to us.

Standing just a meter from us, she was a little bit shaky but still said out.

"Will you take me as your Girlfriend"

That was unexpended, i didn't think she would be so direct.

I turned to Alex but unexpectedly the fragmented armour that is usually floating besides him was now fully intact.

I quickly turned to Jake who was also just standing there.

The problem was i could feel there intentions, both these bastards were on the verge of bursting into laughter.

For the first time i used it

[Eternal vow has been activated]

"Both of you lay on the ground face flat"

Jake and Alex were taken by surprise and moved like robot following my order

"Boss forgive us we would never laugh at you"

I looked down at them and said

"When did i say you would laugh at me"

Jake realised he had slipped up and remained quiet.

Just then a low giggle came from the girl standing in front of us 

I looked back at her. Seeing this she became quiet once more.

My eyes scanned her from top to bottom. Actually this girl is more beautiful than i thought.

She had long dark brown hair, a pretty face if one overlooked the dirt covering her. She had red lips that kept attracting my gaze.

Because her uniform was partially tore, her figure showed perfectly. My eyes shifted to her chest.

Her size was big but still not quite there yet.

She noticed my shift over her body causing her to turn red.

I thought of something and said

"I don't need a weak person to accompany us unless you can prove your useful"

The girl who had previously been blushing started to panic realising didn't except her

Two voices sounded behind us.

"Alex is the Boss by any chance gay"

"Now that you mention it, he is always with guy's around him"

A vein appeared on my forehead. This bastards don't seem to understand the concept of whispering since i could hear them clearly. 

Just us i wanted to punish them with an even worse pose. The girl spoke

"I can be useful, am very lucky plus i don't think anyone has a higher luck stat like mine"

Both Jake and Alex suddenly turned quiet. The girl seemed confused thinking she said something wrong.

I looked at the girl more intensely and said

"Do you have an initiate ability"

She seemed even more confused by this and shook her head

"What are those, is that why that guy can float metal"

I didn't answer but asked

"Describe to me your status"

"Okay"

[Status]

Her status is quite interesting. All her physical stats are below average but her mental stats are exceptional.

But the thing that stands out the most is her special stats [Luck]. It seems she doesn't know that no one else has it.

The fact that she doesn't have an initiate ability makes her even more weird.

The second thing is her equipment. She used points to buy a coin but that's not the weird thing.

The fact that it is an uncommon item is.

One should know the system store has everything but there is no uncommon item below 100 system points.

There are just too many thing that are not adding up.

I disabled the eternal vow. Jake and Alex didn't seem angry but were just as confused as me after hearing her.

Jake came and whispered in my ear

"Boss we should take her in, she is indeed special"

"I know but she should explain somethings"

Seeing this girl made me realise my knowledge of the world is not complete. John may be from the future but even he couldn't completely know it all.

And i am much worse, my knowledge are pieces that he gave me. It may help for now but later on people will surely adapt.

I turned to the girl and said

"I don't mind having you but tell me how you got that coin"

She become excited hearing this

"I just opened the accessory category and swiped down, when it stopped this coin was the first thing on the list. It costed 100 points"

She removed the coin from her pocket to show me. It is black and the image on it's face can't be discerned properly.

"So basically you were lucky"

The girl puffed her chest with confidence

"I told you i have the highest stats in luck"

She looked proud of it.

'She doesn't realised we don't have it but i don't blame her, i don't think she had the time to discuss with others.'

"You might not know this but we don't have [Luck] among our stats"

The girl looked at me like she didn't understand me. I sighed

"sigh"

"Am trying to say that your special. You posses a stat many don't have"

The girl understood what am getting at

"Doesn't that mean that i can join you"

"Yeah but you should know we are not good people"

I said while pointing at the corpse of the male student that was a few meter

She seemed to remember that we had wanted to tried to use her for their experiment. Her body slightly shivered recalling what happened.

She took a deep breath then said

"Then i will take my chance with you"

Determination surged in her eyes. Seeing she chose us

"Then you are one of mine"

The girl's face turned completely red, she lowered her head trying to hide the blush on her face.

Am not sure why she reacted like this until i realised the words she misunderstood my words. A blush appeared on my face as i quickly tried to explain

"Nono that's not what i meant"

The girl didn't seem to get and instead said

"Fine i Ashley Willer will be yours"

I wanted to bang her head, how could she think i meant that. I turned to Alex and Jake to help me clear this up.

Only to see they had both fallen on the ground laughing silently.Having been caught, they didn't hesitate and laugh out

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA"

I put my had on my forehead and massaged it. It's just the first day of the descent and am already having a headache.

I shook my head and decided to leave it at that. I turned to the timer

[00:35:03s]

We had used 25 minutes so far.

"You guys get ready the wolves should have been injured by some of the students who got useful stuff from the store"

They picked themselves up knowing it was time.

Ashley picked up the change in Damien's expression and realised what was going to happen.

"Take me with you"

I turned to her and said

"No you shall become a burden if you come, most of your physical stats are too low"

She seemed to want to say something but kept quiet.

I walked away from her and went for the door. Alex and Jake followed behind, both excited for the fight to come.

Before entering the door i said without turning back

"If you want to be useful then try and understand us much about the luck stat"

I could feel the change in Ashley's mood who had started feeling down.
