Chapter 83 Skipping Class
I quickly shut my eyes and rubbed them before looking at my status yet again, finding that it had returned to normal.
"What… the hell just happened…" I muttered under my breath, and as I lay back in my chair, nearly falling asleep again, I felt a jolt of something akin to a lightning bolt shock through my brain.
I was wide awake, but this time had a strange calling. It felt like I was being summoned to a place not too far away.
"Teacher! I need to use the bathroom!" I shouted out, and as the woman rolled her eyes, she looked at me and then at my sister.
"You may go, but your sister will follow you to make sure you don't go anywhere else," She responded.
To be honest, she was really lovely and was pretty good at teaching, but the material was just so easy that I wouldn't mind teaching it in a few seconds, just like in Sword Theory.
She was an older woman with curly gray hair and thick glasses covering solid black eyes, and with her wrinkly pale white skin, she almost radiated an aura of wisdom that I was unable to beat even with my past life's knowledge.
Although, despite how much I liked her, it seemed she didn't like me since I was already sleeping in her class.
"Alright, come on, you little shit," My sister sighed, and as I got up from my seat, I made sure to take my bag and phone with me, but my sister quickly stopped me. "And what do you need that for? You're just going to the bathroom, right?"
I stared blankly at her for a couple of seconds before shrugging and setting my backpack down, but making sure to keep my phone in my pocket.
It wasn't a very long walk to the bathroom, but with my sister constantly trying to question me, it was pretty annoying and troubling to escape.
"You aren't going to follow me into the bathroom, right?"
"Maybe I should, you little rascal…."
"What a weirdo…." I muttered under my breath, before turning into the bathroom, my sister waiting just outside the door.
According to my plan, she waited just outside the door, but due to a small wall acting as a divider, preventing others from seeing into the bathroom, I was practically scots-free.
I looked at the window shimmering at the top left corner of the bathroom, and upon confirming there was nobody inside, I unlocked the window, which opened like a cabinet.
It was a tight fit, but with my childish body, I was able to mostly slip through with ease, falling just a few feet into a pile of neatly trimmed bushes.
"Alrighty… worked out perfectly…" I smiled, and as the nudging urge within my chest grew stronger, I knew exactly where it wanted me to go.
Just outside the walls of our prison-like campus, towering buildings stretched into the sky, and the pollution of horrible manufacturers reigned supreme.
I ran and ran and ran until I reached the walls of the campus and easily hopped over them, avoiding their measly detection system.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Breathing in just a whiff of the horrible air was enough for me to stop by the nearest convenience store and pick up a cheap mask that allowed me to breathe relatively easily.
The pollution was still so thick that some slipped through, but at least I wouldn't faint in the middle of the street after all of the smog replaced the oxygen in my lungs.
"*sigh*... alright… it's this way…." I muttered, the feeling growing into something instinctive, like an internal compass pointing me in the correct direction.
I walked down the bustling streets, immediately regretting to buy a raincoat or umbrella as it rained toxic chemicals from the sky not too long after I exited the store.
So, I picked up the speed and ran at top speed, slipping through people with ease and eventually reaching my destination, just an average, fresh, and towering skyscraper that was meant to hold at least a thousand office workers.
Of course, the people at the top were sitting pretty and doing absolutely nothing, but there's nothing much you can do about that due to their power.
As soon as I stepped through the automatically opening doors, something flickered in front of me once again.

…
I swallowed a large drop of saliva as I walked to the front desk, exactly where this internal compass of mine was directing me.
"Hello? Is there something you need from me?" The receptionist asked, her pointy ears, long golden hair, and white nun-like clothing immediately giving away her identity.
I guess I'm in the right spot.
"I'm here to see somebody. Am I allowed to just take the elevator?"
"Of course, but please put down your identification. It's just for security measures," The woman smiled, holding out a dark plate of metal that I placed my hand on.
It only took a few seconds before she nodded, allowing me to head toward the elevator.
It opened up automatically, nobody inside, allowing a sense of peace to wash over me, and as I stepped in, the same status flickered in front of me.
Unlike the last time when all of the restricted skills turned into open ones, literally, every single part of this status said [Restricted].
It flickered once, hundreds of different and unfamiliar characters floating through the two brackets before eventually landing on a single number.
