Reincarnated As The Diabolic System

Shane got busy for a few days, so much so that he didn't even notice when Tess and Frank got close. Indeed, he learned how to channel the energy through his veins and how to inject it into a sword while fighting, but that was all. He couldn't even use his powers in front of others unless he wanted to tell everyone else about his darkness attribute secret.

Ok, on the other hand, he became even more confused about his friend's and sister's relationship.

He first noticed the interaction between the two while having breakfast in the hall on the first floor after a few days of his exhausting schedule. Tess would usually come and sit beside him while ignoring everyone else, but tonight, she sat beside Frank and even teased the man on her own accord, "Yo! Shouldn't you greet a beautiful girl like me?"

Shane sighed. This girl! She was still a teenager. How could he forget that? Just as he was about to open his mouth and stop Tess from messing with his friend, he heard Frank's words, "Good night."

After saying that, Frank stood up with his half-finished food and walked over to the kitchen counter. He placed them in the washing area and walked out after cleaning his hands with an expressionless face.

Tess sneered, "You dare to ignore me like this! Just wait! I'll teach you a lesson!"

Why did Shane feel like his sister had turned into a bully? He felt bad for Frank at this time, but he didn't want to interrupt. Since Frank was ignoring her, he would let his sister do whatever she wanted.

Only, he didn't know his sister would cross the limits….

"Yo, Frank!" Tess grabbed the man's arms ruthlessly and even twisted it behind his back and said in an arrogant tone, "Apologize, or I'll never leave you!"

"Let go," Frank's eyes turned dark as he glared at the girl who dared to disturb his peace.

"What if I don't?"

"You'll regret it!"

"Eh? This is the first time I'm hearing you talk back! I should do this more often!"

Everyone else around watched this good show as they all snickered one after another. Shane had a dark expression on his face. This girl was making a fool out of herself in front of others! Just as he was about to get up to teach her a lesson, he heard even more shocking words spouting nonsense from her mouth!

"You just want me to stick to you, don't you? I just knew all men were b*stards!"

"Tess!" Shane finally called her out and glared at her. He walked over and peeled her off as he said, "Behave! I'm still here, ain't I?"

The girl, "Humph! Go away!"

After saying that, she went back to the table and started eating her food.

Shane only glanced at Frank as an awkward silence descended between them. He then chuckled nervously and said, "I apologize on her behalf."

"Keep her in control. She's your sister."

"I know, I know," Shane moved his hand in a surrendering gesture and continued, "Forget about it. Let's go together. We're about to get our first virtual license as systems! How cool is that?!"

Frank's expression eased when he also thought about it. He nodded at Shane and said, "Let's go."

***

The institute had several buildings, and one of them was dedicated to the virtual learning function. Becoming a system wasn't a joke, and this was why this virtual learning building was created to give the newbies better facilities before they could take up a job.

But before that, they would all be assigned a permanent job by the chief instructor based on their attributes.

"What the heck is an attribute though?" One of the students asked as they all gathered in the corridor of the first floor of the virtual learning building.

Even Shane had this question. He looked up as he stood among the line of boys.

Ed glanced at the students expressionlessly and said, "Every living being has an innate talent they're born with, depending on their previous karma. After crossing the border of the mortal realm, this innate talent will wake up within our bodies, and this innate talent is what we call an attribute."

"You'll fight through the attribute you've got. If your attribute is ice, your magic, weapons, and spells are likely to revolve around ice only. Ice formation, ice gun, and ice gears are a few examples of that. You can purchase different fighting techniques from the store, but in this institute, you'll all learn the basics of using your powers.

"We will provide you with basic fighting and defense techniques based on your attributes, and you'll also learn about how to do your job and handle hosts," Ed moved and opened the door to his left as he glanced at the crowd of students without any expression on his face, "Get ready. We'll give you guys a job first."

Shane's eyes lit up, before dimming once again. What the heck was he getting excited for?! His attribute was darkness! F*cking darkness! How would he even think of purchasing weapons of an attribute that wasn't even supposed to exist in this system world?!

It was probably that except for a sword, he couldn't use any defense and offensive attacks!

What the heck was he supposed to do now?!

While he was frowning, he felt Tess tapping his shoulders, "Brother, don't worry about anything. Let's believe in the bald master."

Shane nodded.

"Everyone," Ed turned on the light as a white hall brightened up around everyone. It was similar to the place they had all woken up in, except for the fact that this room was overly large with a round transparent orb hovering in the center. Dirt was there as he kept staring at the orb in a creepy way while leaning against the wall.

Shane could tell that this robot was probably the one who was making this orb fly like this.

Ed immediately said, "Shane, walk forward and put your hands on this orb."

Shane did as the bald man said only to find that the entire orb had turned dark. The expression on Dirt's face changed. He glanced at Ed and grimaced, "It's not good."

"What is it?"

"He got a job as a diabolic system."

Even Ed's expression changed after hearing that. Only Shane and other students remained clueless as to what the heck it actually was!
