I go into my room, check my suitcase, only find 10 black chips.
I lie down on my bed and dig back into the memories of the original owner.
"Each black token is equivalent to one dollar; there are red tokens equivalent to 10 dollars; and finally there are the white tokens equivalent to 100 dollars; apparently all the tokens are marked with the image of a skull. The white chips are a status symbol. And all are made from the remains of monsters or supernatural beings. What a world. In the end I only have 10 dollars.
"System, this money is good for something."
[You can exchange 1 white token for 1 attribute point.]
"Wow, it's cheaper to scare people. I should create a house of terror"
Knock! Knock! Knock!
My thoughts have been interrupted, I got up and opened the door, and there was the bitch named Nina. Now she was wearing a low-cut black blouse that showed her flat tummy, a short tight blue skirt that made her look very provocative.
-Hi Nina. Come in if you want? But close the door. -After telling her that, I lay down on the bed.
-Ivan wants you to give him the report in two days. He found out that you were beaten. So he gave you that time, he told me to tell you, that the beating will be worse if you don't turn in the report.
"From tough guy to errand boy, life takes twists and turns, but this is something I can't afford in the long run. And that Ivan, come to think of it, mmm, I could tell Sigfreud to take care of him," I joked in my mind and heard the door close, Nina left without another word.
The cost of a ticket to Rodem city is 5 black tokens, you can only travel from 11 am to 1 pm, apparently supernatural beings and monsters are more inactive at that time; note that the opposite happens from 11 pm to 1 am.
While I was thinking about that I fell asleep.
I went to my classes again, in the classroom, Moran was looking at me with a look full of surprise, I just nodded, if I could, I would try to poke his eye out before I left, maybe that way I would get some fear points. His companions would be no exception. I don't want to be a fucker, but, given the circumstances I find myself in and knowing I won't be at the Scarlet Institute for long, I wonder how many points I can get by intimidating the weak.
"The question is, are there that many weaklings in an elite Institute? I doubt it, I bet all the weaklings are some brawler's errand boys.
When classes were over I wandered around the Institute and everything seemed pretty lively, apparently life for those at the bottom of the chain is pretty unpleasant, many students look down on me or as if I'm a nuisance. I don't blame them, it's better to ignore the weak and save your strength to protect yourself or what you want to protect, that's how I thought before, I won't be a hypocrite now, I will become strong or die trying, in the end maybe I will just wake up in my bed at home in my world.
[No, you'll just die]
"Aren't you very cruel; why kill the illusion?"
As I continued walking I saw a girl with glasses, black hair, straight at the neck, she looked weak, she was carrying several containers with lunches in her arms, I followed her, and saw her enter some stores at the back of the Institute, I got as close as I could and heard the voices of several males and a female, soon after I heard moans that lasted almost an hour, at the end, the girl with glasses came out smoothing her dress with her hands while she had a somber expression and dull eyes.
"Soon she will reach her limit", was what I thought when I saw that somber expression.
"Yes, now I was more than sure that White Clover City, only ensured that you stayed alive, the condition you lived in or whatever else didn't matter too much."
"If this is how those with opportunities live, those who can't be hunters must have a filthy life."
I walked away, the situation I witnessed made me lose my appetite, but I forced myself to go to the cafeteria, exactly the food area where they sold products that were about to expire, I handed in a coupon I found in the room and was given a white bread and a glass of water.
Every four coupons in the cafeteria equaled one black chip. It was with coupons and food about to expire that the original owner survived.
As I ate sitting under the tree where I had lain down yesterday, I tasted the bread that was a bit sour as it was about to get moldy, drank the glass of water, and watched the students in the vicinity.
"If someone didn't inquire they would consider this Institute to be similar to an ordinary University, everything seems quiet, until you observe closely."
"I can't waste my time."
I saw a thin and gloomy young man, I slightly noticed when I was close to Moran that he was emitting a different feeling. "It must be because he has awakened."
-You, come. -I called out to a young man with white skin, dark circles under his eyes and disheveled hair.
-What do you want?! -The bastard dared to speak rudely to me.
"That's one of the weaknesses of the weak, they beat each other."
-What is your profession? -I asked him bluntly.
-I... I don't have a profession. -He answered me as he began to hesitate.
-Follow me! or you won't like the result. -I said in a threatening voice.
-You... you... you dare to...
He was going to reply but fell back when I gave him a threatening look. We walked to a place at the back of the Institute that was away from the warehouse where the young woman with glasses had entered.
-Fight or I'll beat you to death. -You could say I was considerate, I warned him.
-You're crazy! -She shouted at me, but I didn't hold back.
In the end with three punches in the abdomen he fell to the ground.
-Ha ha ha, that's what it feels like to bully. Maybe I should break his arm now. -I looked at him with a malicious expression, and smiled, I was only acting so I could check if I was right with a deduction I had made.

-Get up, you can go. -I told him, as I walked away as well.
"I knew it, I get more points depending on the strength of the target that gives me the points."
"That means Nina is three times stronger than that student."
"Place the points earned in the strength quality."
[Strength: Raised from 10 to 11.2]
