Reincarnated as an Energy with a System
-
chapter-311
"Holy crap, there are so many systems in this world?" Ning was surprised. "I seriously thought the Energy system was the only one all around."
Ning tried to look into more of the information but soon realized how incredibly expensive how any information about the different systems was.
"Well, at least given the number, we can guess there have been tens and thousands of systems at least. I wonder how they make the systems," Ning wondered.
"Oh, then that means there are more system owners right? How many are there on this planet?" Eleonora asked.
"Hmm, let me see," Ning said and filtered the information in the interface.His heart bled when he spent nearly a month's worth of energy on a single piece of information.
'I'm not buying anymore,' he thought to himself.
"Hmm, it says there are… 3 people in total with a system on this planet. It says they are alive, so I'm guessing we will meet them soon if they grow," Ning said.
"Oh, that's fine. Also, you look like you're in pain, what's wrong?" she asked.
"Oh… I just used quite a few months' worths of energy for that 3 bits of information," Ning said.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked those questions," Eleonora said.
"Oh, it's fine. At least I learned something from—"BANG
Ning heard the door shut from far away and a man came running inside. It was a man who seemed to be in his 40s.
He had black hair streaked with white ones and had a circular face similar to Eleonora and Ender.
"Father?" Eleonora got shocked seeing her father in a rush. She looked behind him and saw that her brother was missing.
She started having a bad feeling about it.
"Father, what's going on?" she asked hastily with a worried voice. Ning was a little worried seeing the man's face too.
"Ely, hurry. You need to—"
The man turned his head and saw Ning. His eyes turned wide for a second before returning back to his daughter.
"Who's he?" he asked.
"He's a teacher from the academy," she replied. "What's going on?"
"Oh, Oh right! Quickly run away. You need to hide somewhere right now. Use that concealing artifact of yours quick," he said.
"Please explain what's happening, father," Eleonora was getting more and more worried.
"No time to explain he's—"
Suddenly, a divine sense spread throughout the whole house and it reached them.
The man's face suddenly turned from worried to happy and he started smiling with a calm expression.
"— here. Young nephew Bradley is here to meet us, daughter," he said calmly.
Eleonora finally realized what was happening and her mood turned sour. She scowled at her father, who was all smiles now.
"Come, greet nephew Bradley," the father said and brought her along.
Eleonora waved behind her to gesture Ning to follow her. Ning stood up and slowly walked behind them.
"Yes, brother Bradley. Of course, it's tiresome, but it's also fun. You should try joining the academy, you will definitely not be bored," Ender said as he entered the house.
"No, making tools for myself is beneath me. As the heir to the Udler house, It is only correct of me to have people that can make stuff for me, little brother."
"You are the heir to your house too. Remember, if you ever want to be successful, you need to have people working for you," the man named Bradley said.
Ning could finally see Bradley fully for who he really was. Bradley was a guy that looked like a young man in his 20s. He had golden blonde hair combed behind him, a not so muscular body, and a very pompous look on his face.
The look, however, changed to delight when he saw Eleonora's face.
"Ah, there you are, sister Ely. I didn't think I would meet you here," Bradley said.
"What are you doing here?" Eleonora asked with a very rude attitude, but it seemed the man was used to it by now.
"Oh, you know. I was on my way to the capital after I heard about the massacre in the ceremony this afternoon. But then, I got the message that my father was alive and well, so I didn't need to go there anymore."
"Poor Gray though, I heard his father died today," Bradley said with an almost sad face. "Well, by the time I realized my travel there was unnecessary, I decided to come to visit the city. And look who I meet on the street?"
Ender and his father made apologetic faces.
"Then, I asked if I could visit here, and it just so happened that you were here, Sister Ely," Bradley said with a smile.
"We are glad to have you, Nephew Bradley," the father said.
"Hmm," Bradley said and finally saw Ning standing a few distances away.
"Who's he? A servant?" Bradley asked.
"Ah, this is…" the father tried to introduce, but he realized too late that he too didn't recognize Ning.
Ender finally saw Ning too and was surprised. "Bro— I mean, teacher?" he asked.
"Hey, brother Ender. You can call me brother too," Ning said then he looked towards the father and Bradley.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Rigot, Mr. Udler. I am… Jackie Chan. I'm a teacher at the Five Professions academy," Ning said.
Ender looked at him weirdly but didn't try to correct him or anything. Eleonora on the other hand needed to contain herself from busting out laughing.
"A teacher huh? What star are you? I assume it's gold like Sister Ely's," Bradley said.
"Oh, of course not. I could never hope to reach Teacher Eleonora's level. I'm still a silver starred teacher," Ning said.
"Hmm… so you're not even a gold-ranked huh? Seriously, why does that academy even bother keeping anything other than gold-ranked in their staff? It's just a waste of money to keep anything less," Bradley said with a scoff.
"Anyway, let's go talk, Sister Ely. I heard your academy was under attack, and I needed to make sure you are okay," Bradley said.
