Chapter 1: The execution day for students
Saint Ruby Province, one of the most powerful province, academically and technology they were ranked 40th on the world. The sun was at its peak and the sunlight hit the face of Marcus, a seventeen-year-old youth.
Marcus opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling, numerous thoughts popped in his mind and one of them causes his eyebrows to raise. He got up from the bed and a loud voice was heard, the voice was like an electric current that traveled into Marcus startling him.
"Son, wake up! look at the time!"
Marcus turned his head and met the ancient clock, it was 7:15 AM and his classes would start at 7:30 AM. Marcus immediately cleaned his bed and spread the curtain wide resulting in the sunlight hitting his body.
The warmth of the sunlight was not enjoyed by Marcus as he ran out of his room and soon appeared at the dining table. There placed six plates which carry delicious food!
"Eat, then go to school!"
Marcus sat on the chair and looked at his mother, her mother was a pretty woman even when her age reaches 40, the wrinkles on her forehead would show when she was in the serious mode. As for the reason why she was in serious mode?
Marcus didn't eat the food that was placed in front of him, he remembered that today is the day where he will shed tears, the infamous exam! This will be the time when students would take exams and if they pass they would have a bright future.
Marcus shakes his head and started to eat, he was fast because he didn't want to hear his mother ruthless word-
"Son, I have expectations from you."
Her mother's words finally flowed, the destination was of course in Marcus who was finished eating and got up, he gave a last look at his mother before saying in a firm tone.
"Mother, bye!"
Soon Marcus walked out of the house and began to walk towards the school, he was in 12th grade now and after this, he would need to decide on what courses he would take.
. . .
Saint Ruby National High School.
Marcus stepped into the room and found out that the atmosphere was not right, the answer soon came when the teacher glared at him and shouted.
"Why are you late!?"
Marcus's heart was beating faster and he glanced at the surroundings and knew that he was done today! All of the chairs were occupied and on the last row was an empty chair that belongs to him.
Marcus turned his head to the teacher and cold sweats formed on his back, finally, he gathered his courage and replied.
"Teacher, I am sorry because I studied last night and woke up late."
After Marcus said this the classmates around him were giggling, who are you trying to fool!? you study at night? maybe the sun rises to the west!
Contrary to their expressions, the teacher glared at Marcus as if she would eat him alive, then as if God came miracle arrived. The teacher breathes and gave a firm look at Marcus as if trying to carve his face into her mind.
Marcus waited for about one minute before the voice of the teacher rang, "Go to your chair, the test papers will be handed in a few seconds. Prepare yourself!"
Marcus heave a sigh of relief and sat on his chair, putting his bag beside him and soon all kinds of rituals lay before his eyes!
On his right side was a fat man who was holding a fried chicken sticker and he was mumbling something... Marcus turned his head to his left and saw a thin man crossing his hands and started praying.
It seemed this test was hard, they even contact the other side for help. Marcus raises his hands and soon the test papers were handed out, one glance would make your heart shrink in fear and one stare would make you despair!
This test paper! Marcus stared at the test paper and his eyes were twitching, on it was pre-calculus and statistics and they were all in the advanced mode! By advance mode, it means it was not basic, in short, it was difficult!
Marcus raised his head and looked at the teacher who was seating on the desk, one of the reasons why he was scared of this teacher was because her subject was math, Marcus looked at the test paper again and grabbed a pen from his bag.
"Start answering!"
After the teacher said this, the button for the pressure was turned on! In an instant, the students felt the suffocating pressure and even the top students in this classroom could feel it. It was intangible yet lethal, Marcus sensed this pressure and anxiety struck him!
"What should I do!? I don't know the answer to the number 1!?"
Marcus shouted in his mind, he looked around him but not even a second passed he felt a cold feeling on his head, turning his head to look and he almost shouted. What met him was the pair of cold eyes of his teacher!
Marcus focused his attention on the test paper, he flipped it and found a scary conclusion. All the questions were difficult! the pressure was building up and soon he found it hard to breathe.
[ Integrating with the host...
Successful!
level 1 Pressure Detected!
Task 1: Absorb the level 1 pressure 0/100
Rewards: 500$ ]
"What is this!?"
Marcus thought to himself, after staying silent for about five minutes a smile formed on Marcus's face. He tried to control his laughter, is he crazy? isn't this the popular system!
Marcus calmed himself by answering the number 1 questions to the test paper, it didn't matter on whether it was right since he was only acting. His attention was now captured by the system.
"500$!"
Marcus was shocked, the salary of her mother was 1,500$ but it was only enough for them. If mentioning the projects issued by the schools then they would need to hold a gathering and made a vote on who is going to find a temporary job.
And the results was always Marcus! now he doesnt need a job because he have a system. Marcus focused his mind to the task and found a problem, how will he absorb the pressure?
