The Bodyguard System

The momt that they left the building, Jad immediately received a system prompt. It was the one that was related to the mission that he had be giv.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the optional mission. The rewards for the completion of the mission are being calculated.]

[The host has be rewarded with professional driving skills.]

Jad was momtarily dazed after hearing the system prompt and the reward. At this momt, although he was quite excited for receiving the professional driving skills, he was still a little dissatisfied.

At the d of the day, he was currtly in a university. But a person like him, who had dropped out in his second year of high school, it was definitely impossible for him to be able to catch up to those that had already reached the second year of their degree studies.

If possible, he really wished that the system could reward him with something that was going to able him to be able to deal with the studies. He was not asking to be giv the knowledge directly, but ev a skill or ability that would able him to be able to learn easily would be much more appreciated.

But nevertheless, this was something that he had be giv for free. That's right, for free. The skills that he had utilized in order to be able to deal with the gangsters were something that he had be giv by the system itself. So, Jad did not complain upon receiving the reward.

Still, he did not claim the reward immediately. After all, each and every time that he claimed a reward from the system, especially the one that was related to the skills, his body would be affected by a certain margin.

And right now, since they were currtly in the territory that belonged to gangsters, he was not willing to do something that would inhibit him from doing his job. In case he was still receiving the reward, and he was not able to react on time wh Scarlet was attacked, it was definitely going to be troublesome.

So, he decided that he would claim the reward the momt that they leave this area. He could do that if they were inside the vehicle.

Wh they stepped out of the building, the gangsters looked at them, but they did not dare to act. In fact, they were not that much surprised the momt that they realized that Vinct and the others had be released.

They understood the character that Ruby possessed, and so, it was not impossible for her to release them. In fact, previously, they had be planning to kill this group of brats, but in the d, they had no choice but to let them go considering that Ruby had asked them to do that. It was clear that she was trying to save them.

Although the majority of them were displeased by the fact that they would have to let go of this group of youths, especially the one that had be beat down by Scarlet, there was nothing that they could do. After all, they had be previously informed that they would have to obey each and every command that Ruby gave them.

So, ev though they were reluctant, they immediately retreated, allowing Scarlet and the rest of the group to leave. The group managed to get to the area where they had left the vehicles, before they immediately drove off to the hospital.

Ev though the injuries that Vinct and the others had suffered were not that severe, they still had to be tak care of nevertheless. So, the best option was to take them to the hospital so that they could be bandaged where necessary.

Inside the vehicle, Jad sat in the passger seat while Scarlet continued driving. This time, while paying atttion to the road, she kept on sneaking glances at Jad. Today, she had gott an ev better understanding of this guy.

It was also due to this reason that she got a better understanding of the 'reason' why her parts had insisted that Jad had to become her bodyguard. Though, there was one thing that she did not understand. That was, why she was not allowed to go out in case Jad was not a.

While she was deep in thought, Jad on the other hand had decided to retrieve the reward from the system. The momt that he retrieved the reward, he could not help but feel his muscles tse.

At the same time, a flood of memories suddly erupted within his mind. And for a momt, he got a pang of a headache that disappeared only a few seconds later. But with the disappearance of the headache, foreign memories immediately appeared within his mind.

Immediately after that, the memories began integrating, and his muscle memory was being altered. At this point, Jad felt like he had be driving for many years. He was extremely expericed wh it came to driving.

Other than that, he also possessed knowledge about vehicles. It was not only related to driving, but instead, there was also the mechanic skills, though at the very basic level. In case there was a slight problem with the car, he would definitely be able to know where the problem was.

But for the most complex problems that the cars would be able to experice, it was impossible for him to be able to take care of them considering that he did not possess the mechanic skills. But ev th, it was way better as compared to any other driver, considering that the majority of the drivers only possessed the driving skills, and not the ability to repair the vehicles.

Jad was once again amazed. The system's abilities were not something that he could comprehd at all. At the same time, he could not help but wonder about the origin of the system. And more than that, what was the role of the system in this world?

Of course, he did not believe that there was a possibility of the system being made by a being within this world. If they possessed the capability of creating something like the system, th that implied that the technology level of this world would have definitely gone to a higher level. It was currtly the year 07.

With the technological advancemt of the currt era, it was definitely impossible for them to be able to do something like that. Although they had be capable of developing several AIs, they definitely could not compete with the system due to its ability.

According to Jad, he believed that this system was definitely extraterrestrial. It had to come from another civilization at least. Otherwise, it was impossible for him to be able to explain the abilities that the system possessed.

[The host is advised not to think much about the origin of the system. The system's capabilities are way above the ones that are currtly displayed. So, it is impossible for the system to be created by this backward civilization that the host belongs to.]

Jad was momtarily left speechless. It was also at this momt that he remembered that the system possessed access to his thoughts. So, it was clear that it was capable of detecting what he was thinking about.

In the d, he shook his head, deciding not to think much about it. At the d of it all, ev if he knew about the origin of the system, there was nothing that he could do about it. Additionally, ev with his capabilities, if he was being targeted, it was going to be impossible for him to be able to resist.

Not to mtion the one that created the system, ev just the governmt of his nation was ough to be able to take care of him. So, it was better for him not to think much about it, or he would d up stressed for nothing.

Scarlet did not know what Jad was thinking about at that momt, and simply continued driving. On this day, she did not have any class. So, she was not planning to go to the school at all.

"Do you have any place in mind that you would like us to go to?" Scarlet asked as she continued driving, while throwing a glance at Jad.

Jad was brought back from his thoughts by the question. He looked at Scarlet stupdously. This was definitely the first time that she was asking about his opinion.

Wh Scarlet saw the look on Jad's face, she could not help but pout a little. Of course, she understood what Jad was thinking about. And thinking about the attitude that she had be having during the first time that they had met, it was clear that Jad would definitely be surprised by that question.

At d of it all, Scarlet was just not happy with the fact that she was going to have a bodyguard following her a. That was the reason why she acted like that. She was just trying to push him away, making sure that he wt away.

But now, things were completely differt. She needed his assistance if she wanted to improve in her combat skills. So, it was clear that she would have to change her attitude. As for treating Jad as a subordinate, that was something that she did not think much about it.

In any case, she believed that with the capabilities that Jad possessed, if he wanted to leave, he would have done that. Additionally, he could ev op a fighting club where he could train people, and earn a huge sum of money. There was no reason for him to continue guarding her, and risking his life for a puny salary.

After a momt of silce, Jad simply shrugged his shoulder and responded, "I don't really know where you like to go. So, you can just lead the way. I'll follow wherever you go, as long as you don't plan to go and jump into the fire or into the river to drown yourself."
