Highschool Life

Chapter 11: You Love Me?!

[Warning! Player Crystal Rosario has come back to her senses. Permanent Curses has temporarily disabled due to an unknown effect.]

"What!?"

Crystal, who became a hot piping kettle, can't comprehend what Erwin just said.

"You've come back, phew."

With confusion out of her head and her cheeks cooling down, she began to doubt, replying, "Wait, so that was a lie?"

"That I love you?"

"Yeah!"

"Wait, you love me?"

There was a moment of silence, and Crystal became a hot tomato and could not fathom herself as she fainted, but Erwin caught her in the nick of time, carried her to the bed, and tucked her in as someone was watching them outside of the room.

He walked to the door but looked back and said, "So you love me, huh?" He sighed at what to say to her when she wakes up, either rejecting her or having her as a partner.

After walking out and finally closing the door, someone began speaking to Erwin, who was waiting for him.

"How was the fight?"

"Well, if I said we won, would you say congratulations?"

"Haha, congratulations on the victory."

"Thank you."

Erwin knew there was something more during the brief silence that followed.

"What's your real reason for coming here?"

"Well, one person recorded everything, live."

"What!? We specially made a rule that if someone records a fight inside Owl High and posts it, they will be labeled as an outcast!"

"I fully know the reason. It will be troublesome for our school, and the police will investigate it. This isn't like the old times back in the '80s and '90s."

Erwin smiled at the principal and laughed a bit with a reply, "Thanks, Owen, for knowing the consequences."

"Back in my day, I was a fighter, so I knew about these types of things."

"So back to the main point, who was it?"

"My assistant is looking into it."

After Owen mentioned that his assistant was investigating, Erwin realized that although the assistant was usually by his side, he had given him a mission to complete while he was gathering information in his office back at Owl High. With sharp eyes, the assistant noticed something strange in the information that he had gathered. There was a student who was unfamiliar with him and checked his background, finding a normal datasheet but becoming more suspicious, hacking into a backdoor, and seeing that it was protected by a high-level firewall. He got up, grabbed his coat, and headed to the person named Walter.

"Once he finds that person, they'll be dead. While he does that, I'll figure something out about the police, but for now, let Crystal rest and go meet Vortex and Jeff as well."

Erwin nodded and headed out.

Going down from the elevator, it was normal from the inside with people sitting and patients, but once he was at the counter, "I would like a Heart Transplant."

The nurse knew what he said, stood up, and went outside of the counter.

"Follow me."

Erwin followed the nurse to a far back area that said personnel access only, and that person is Erwin and his friends. In the text, when Vortex and Jay got there with a ton of people injured, it was overwhelming for the people inside, but the nurses knew what to do. They called the head leader, Jeff Taylor, Erwin's doctor, to come down but saw what was happening through surveillance cameras and gave them the code, "Send them to the Heart Transplant."

The nurses instantly got the job done and relaxed the visitors and patients.

Entering through the doors, they headed to the elevator with only two buttons going up and down. They headed down as the doors closed, and elevator music began to play.

With a ding reaching the floor, "We are here; I know you've been here before, so there's no need for a guide."

"Alright, thank you for your hard work." Erwin headed out, and the nurse nodded as she pushed the up button and went back to the surface.

The room was wide, seemingly a base of operations before, but it became a personnel access area for the nurses and doctors who needed rest from long night shifts. Every Vortex member was getting treated for minor injuries while Alexander and Jay sat on a couch in the center with Doctor Jeff Taylor there as Erwin walked toward them.

"You're finally here. It's been a long time since you've been here, the Heart Transplant."

"You've renovated the area; it wasn't like this before." After saying this, Erwin sat down on the couch with Alexander and Jay.

"It became a resting point for my workers, and also, who won?"

With a grin from Erwin, he proudly said, "Owl High."

Jeff smiled and laughed. "Good job! It reminds me of the old days."

"Anyways, is it on you?"

"Well, I need to pay my employees, so-" Erwin cuts him off by saying, "I'll tell Owen."

"Ah- even though we're long-time friends- oh well."

Once they were done talking, the main topic arose.

"We need a way for a counter with someone recording fights. Someone recorded the war at the grounds, live."

"What?!" Jay and Alexander said.

"Alexander, I want some of your guys to be on the lookout if another fight or raid comes inside Owl High. Make them check if any students record or take pictures, and if they do, you know what will happen, regardless of gender."

Alexander nodded with affirmation.

"As for you, Jay,"

"I'll also help out." With a tic on the head.

"Alright, since we won the battle, there's no point in attacking their school, so let's live peacefully, for now."

Both of them nodded while Jeff relaxed. After some time passed, something happened at Jerald Anderson's school, Ying and Yang High.

No words can express what the Cultivator members saw. It was Jerald's body, fully beaten up, and blood was everywhere.

"Was no one guarding the doors?!"

A sudden uproar began within Jerald's members. The only thing they did not know was that an ICS member infiltrated as a Cultivator member. A ruthless way of killing him marks that ICS is a dangerous gang or organization that even high school teenagers cannot grasp the situation or what they are facing. One member saw a note on top of his bloodied head. He is too scared to go in but went as he held his vomit, grabbed the note, and ran away quickly, making way for the person, opening a window, and starting to vomit.

"What was inside the note?"

After he was done vomiting, he handed the note over to the vice-leader and what it contained was shocking.

"Even though they failed, they should know the consequences of taking the contract."

"With money at that! Bunch of greedy kids!"

"I wonder, what will they do after reading it?"

Far away from Owl High and Ying and Yang, 3 High-Ranking ICS members enjoyed themselves with the finest wine and watching the scenery of the apartment they own.
