Chapter 47: Rebecca’s System (Part-1) (1/2)

Wait... What!?

“You want to tell me something about your system?” I ask, surprised.

“Yes,” Rebecca answers seriously.

“Your system, right?” I ask again, pressing on the word “system” just to make sure that what I am hearing is correct.

“I know that it may be a bit surprising to you but yes, I will tell you about my system... As much as I can,” She answers.

“Wait, you cannot do that! You know what will happen, right?” I ask while raising my voice slightly.

“No, they won’t be able to trace me through magic. I mean, well, as long as I don’t tell you everything and be careful,” she answers.

What!? For real!?

There is a reason why no one reveals their system to others no matter how much they want to.

While it is true that telling someone the full contents of your system can prove to be really fatal and even life-threatening in some cases and thus, it is internationally banned but still, there is no way each and every person will follow this, right?

Someone is ought to break this law by themselves or maybe slip something out by mistake.

But the reason why doing this is quite impossible is because magic is used to force this law for thousands of years ago.

This magic temporarily takes away all the five senses of the body and also takes down the ability to speak or move, making it a complex yet powerful and effective thing.

In fact, this magic is “Area of Effect” type and is spread through the world using the secondary system towers situated in numerous places and this is the reason why the authorities are informed of the location of the person in question whenever these types of incidents occur, almost immediately.

And obviously, once the effect of this ancient magic wears down, heavy charges are placed against the person if he is found to be guilty.

And well, this is why I am in disbelieve of what Rebecca just said... and it looks like I am not the only one.

“Seriously!? You are going to tell him about your system!? He is a stranger and you don’t know anything about him!” Aria says in a shocked voice while walking closer to the bed.

Rebecca turns to her and gives a small smile.

“You know it is important for me as well, right? And I think he should know. I want to tell him...” Rebecca says.

By how angry Aria is looking, I expected her to retort a little but for some reason, she doesn’t and sit down on the bed silent while giving me a conflicted yet angry glare.

Rebecca also looks back at me with a strange sort of determination in her eyes.

In the next moment, she closes her eyes for a few seconds and murmurs something to herself.

“Jacob, my system is a barrier type...” She suddenly says.

“No!” I shout out in surprise.

I didn’t expect Rebecca to just tell this to me straight up and out of nowhere.

I stare at Rebecca with a horrified look on my face, waiting for her to drop down on the bed or something... But it doesn’t happen.

In fact, she only laughs a little seeing my extreme sort of reaction.

“See? Nothing happened!” she says, continuing her smile.

What the fuck?

As she said, nothing has happened at all.

“H-How?” I ask in utter shock.

“I created an anti-magic barrier around us. It’s one of my skills,” Rebecca simply says.

“You are telling me about your skills as well!? Is this for real!? And the anti-magic barrier? What is that!?” I ask, getting even more surprised.
