The Girl Of Mysteries

Something unbelievable happened in St. Aloysius High school this morning! Five girls in room 508 in the girls' dorm all woke up bald. This immediately caused a scandal as most of those girls were from rich families of the town and shocked all the teachers and students in the school! As this was a scandalous matter school authorities decided to involve police due to parental pressure and to maintain the re- putation of the school. Police officers and parents arri- ved and crowded the administration office. The rest of the students wouldn't calm down either, the hectic environment and noise made it hard for them to focus in class. In Grade One Class Two. A small note was exchanging hands between the stu- dents in the front and those in the back, then back to the students in the front. This primitive way of sending me- ssages completely replaced the modern chatting apps, they were using paper notes now. "All the girls in the same dorm room woke up bald. Our school is definitely going to go viral in Baltimore!" "Did Joslyn shave Kate's and everyone else's hair? They did it to her first. "Did you guys forget what happened yesterday? Joslyn went home crying, after they shaved her hair off during the night self-study session. She didn't stay in the dorm last night!" "That's right. Kate shaved Joslyn's hair in front of everyone, but their hair was shaved off secretly." "Even if Joslyn stayed in school last night, I don't believe that she has the guts to do something like that. She's too weak, even a primary school kid could bully her. " "I agree. "Yes, you're right." The subject of the discussion, Joslyn, was currently le- aning against the table and sleeping soundly with her face buried between her hands. Only her bald, round, and shiny head was exposed. She looked quite comi- cal! All of a sudden, the classroom door was kicked open. Kate walked in and stopped next to Joslyn, looking angry. She slammed the table with her fist and yelled, "Joslyn!!!" She had a wig on and looked a bit strange. When the ot- her kids saw the scene, they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. They were all holding back their laughter. Joslyn, who was woken up, finally slowly raised her head. She was still very sleepy and only opened one eye to look at Kate. Kate saw how casual she was and got aggravated even more, shouting, "Was it you? Did you sneak into the dorm and shave our hair off last night?" Joslyn laughed, "Do you have proof?" Kate gritted her teeth. Normally she had a pretty face, but now, because of her anger, she looked a bit ugly, "If I had proof, you would've been taken away by the police. Joslyn, I'm warning you, be honest and turn yourself in now. Or I'll make sure you regret it. " All of a sudden, Joslyn swiftly grabbed Kate's slender neck and pressed her onto the table. She moved like a pro, and everything happened very fast - maybe a se cond or two. Joslyn's eyes became cold. Her tone was firm, "Or what? What are you going to do about it?" The whole class immediately got very quiet. "Is this Joslyn?" "Did I see it right? think I've only seen that type of thing on TV Kate had never been handled like this before. Joslyn, who was usually bullied and easily manipulated, actually resisted for once? No matter how she struggled, she couldn't get out of that hold. She was so scared that her face turned pale, and her voice trembled, "Joslyn, the police are still here. Before she could finish talking, she felt a breeze on her scalp. Joslyn quickly pulled Kate's wig off and threw it straight into the trash bin in the back row. "We are all bald. Why are you wearing a wig?" Kate was furious and embarrassed at the same time, but still trapped. She was so angry, she was shaking, "Joslyn, don't go too far. I'm warning you, if you don't let me go, I will make you pay. " "You will?" Joslyn narrowed her sharp eyes and pulled Kate up from the table. She turned around and pressed the girl aga- inst the window, "Do you think you will still be around?" She pushed Kate's upper body out the window. This was the fifth floor! If she fell from here, even if she didn't die, she would be crippled for life! Kate had never seen anyone be this ruthless before. She was so scared that her entire body broke out in a cold sweat. At this point, she no longer cared about her face, and was full on sobbing. Kate resorted to apologizing, "I was wrong! Help!" A trace of impatience flashed across Joslyn's face. She quickly pulled her back and threw her to the empty space in the back row, "Ugh, you're so loud. " Kate fell onto the floor, hurting her knees and hands. She cried out in pain. Joslyn tilted her head and looked down at her. "If you don't have evidence, then don't accuse me. You're so annoying. Joslyn then turned around and went back to her seat. The crowd of stunned kids stepped aside, making way for her. Was it the same Joslyn, who would cry when she was being bullied? How did she become so powerful? This can't be right! Ding! Congratulations! You've completed the pilot-quest: Revenge for the previous owner of this body. Obtained quest reward: Reduce weight by one pound, re- duce pimples by one, increase power value by two po- ints. Mission reward will be sent at night during sleep. When Joslyn heard the sound in her head, she wanted to shake it out! This was a long story. At the beginning of the chaos of the Earth, the human race consisted of ordinary people and superhumans. Superhumans possessed natural superpower and inves ted great effort to train it, continuously advancing till they reached the highest level. After that, their lifespan would be extended, and they would be able to maintain their youth forever. As for ordinary people, they would simply live out their li- ves. They would be born, grow old, fall sick, and eventually die. At some point, human technology advanced, and ordinary people didn't want to be mediocre anymore - they started wars with superhumans. In the end, they almost destroyed the Earth. In order to protect the ecological balance of the planet, the superhumans divided Earth into two worlds that didn't interfere with each other. As for the ordinary people, they were severely punished by the superhumans: they lost all their memories and re- turned to their original level of consciousness. Now, the two worlds have been separated for tens of thousands of years. She was the superhuman of the Paraworld, and she was called the she-devil. She was honest and just, she robbed the rich to help the poor and punished the bad people. But some evil people set a trap to kill her. After that, she obtained this system and was sent to this Conventional world. To these ordinary people, her ability was very powerful. She didn't have a sense of accomplishment staying here. System A: "You don't have the superpower right now." Joslyn was speechless. System A: "Once the mission is completed, you will re- ceive the corresponding number of Special Ability Va- lues." Joslyn didn't want to respond to this system anymore. She was a superhuman to begin with and her soul had already received an upgrade. Even if she was only an ordinary person now, she could still advance. However, physically this body was too weak. The previous owner of her body was 16 years old, 5'3 tall. She weighed 175 lbs., so quite chubby. She needed to lose weight before she could advance. Plus, there were a lot of pimples on her face and her facial features were covered by fat. Joslyn couldn't help but sigh when she saw herself in the mirror, "She's so ugly." The previous owner of this body was nicknamed Uggo because of this. She was bullied and laughed at and, as a result, struggled with self-esteem and depression. Yesterday, Kate shaved off Joslyn's hair, humiliating her in public. The previous owner of this body couldn't handle it and committed suicide, that's when the System gave her this body. The last wish previous owner was to avenge people who shaved off her hair and the first mi- ssion the System gave new owner was to help the origi- nal owner get revenge. It was the end of September, the weather was still hot. After the school bell rang a second time, the teac- her finally came in. The teacher, Mr. Gates, stood on the podium and swept his gaze across each and every stu- dent. "I believe you all know about the girls in our class having their hair shaved off. The police have already be- g*n their investigation." "I don't believe in ghosts and spirits. This must've been done by someone, and I hope that person would bravely turn themselves in. Don't wait for the police to catch you before you regret it.' "You're all high school students. If you have a criminal offense on your record, it will affect your college appli cations. Once he was done talking, he looked at Joslyn and said, "Joslyn Johnson, please come with me. Being called out by the teacher like this, made her look even more suspicious. The entire class looked at Joslyn. If this happened ear- lier, no one would believe that Joslyn, a shy and quiet girl, would dare to shave someone's head. But after happened just now! Joslyn's dominance shocked everyone! It didn't look all that impossible anymore. The whole class looked at Joslyn. She didn't care about the attention and casually walked out of the classroom. In the teacher's office. Mr. Gates held a teacup with both hands. Inside the cup were Prunes and apricots. He said to Joslyn, "Regarding this scandal, I won't say much. You didn't stay at school last night, but you are still a suspect. I need your parents to send a written note, stating that you were at home last night. Joslyn looked relaxed. "Teacher, are you suspecting me?" "Before the criminal was arrested, everyone was a sus- pect." A friendly voice came from the door. She turned around and saw a young man in a police uniform. The golden sunlight was shining in through the window, hitting the handsome man's face as he was smiling. Joslyn looked at his badge: he was a lieutenant. She narrowed her eyes and smiled, "If the suspect only ne- eds her parents to write a note to avoid being investiga- ted, there must be many criminals who are free in this world." Lieutenant Matthews looked at the girl, sitting in front of him. At first, he thought that the most eye-catching thing about her was her chubby body. But now, he felt that her eyes were quite interesting. Right now, her eyes were slightly narrowed at him. She looked very confident, and he thought to himself, "This girl couldn't possibly be bul- lied by others." He replied, "Of course not. " Joslyn said, "Since it's not, then why do you want me to have my parents write a note? You are the police, catc- hing criminals is your responsibility." Matthews found Joslyn's eloquence amusing. "Yes, it is our responsibility, but we also need your cooperation. But it doesn't matter if you don't cooperate. I can ask your parents myself." Matthews paused to see Joslyn's reaction and was di- sappointed as she didn't seem to care at all. "Okay. Mr. Gates, if there's nothing else, I'll go back to class. My grades aren't great, I better go study." Joslyn didn't let Mr. Gates reply, turned around and left the office. Mr. Gates and Matthews looked at each other, stunned. As soon as Joslyn walked into the classroom, she noti- ced a math paper on the desk. "Test?" She asked her desk mate. Ruth Harlow was an A student and an introvert. Even though she wouldn't support Kate's bullying, she would never help Joslyn either. She would only look out for her- self. Ruth nodded her head and covered up her answers with her hand, worried that Joslyn would copy from her. Joslyn noticed and laughed sarcastically. One of the other kids solved a math problem, put down his pen and got up. He whispered to Joslyn, "After you left, Mr. Taylor sent the math test paper over. You need to finish the test as soon as possible." Then he quickly sat down to work on the test. There were no teachers in the classroom to supervise, but the ids were very self- aware and didn't copy each other. As for the students with bad grades, they also napped separately and didn't disturb each other. Joslyn sat down and looked at the paper in front of her. She could easily solve all the math questions of the first year of high school. She took a look, picked up a pen and started filling in the answers until there was only the difficult one left. She stopped writing and pa- used for a few moments. She was too lazy to write the answer. She threw the pen away and decided to take a nap on the desk. As the bell rang, the kids that were napping woke up. They placed their papers on the teacher's desk and walked towards the cafeteria. The rest of the students also finished writing and handed in their papers to the most responsible kid. Joslyn woke up, still in a daze. Only when the kid from earlier came to collect the pa- pers that she handed in hers. The guy looked at it and asked, surprised, "Why didn't you do the rest? Usually, even if you didn't know how to answer, you would write at least something." This gave Joslyn a headache. The old Joslyn was a bad student. No matter how hard she studied, her grades were always bad. Every time, she would rack her brains, only to get the answers wrong. After the results were in, she would still be mocked by other kids. But this time, Joslyn didn't write the answer, which surprised the classmate. She simply turned around and casually walked out the door, saying, "I don't have time for this. Joslyn didn't go to the cafeteria, instead, she went to the field and ran ten laps. One lap was 1300 feet, ten laps were 2,5 miles. In her original body, she could easily do 6 miles, but now, she only ran 2,5 and was panting. She would probably need to train for a good month before she could get used to it. "Are you running?" A bottle of water appeared in front of Joslyn. She turned her head and looked over. Matthews sat next to her. He was now wearing casual clothes and looked even more easy-going. She took the bottle of still water and said, "Thank you." Matthews looked at her sweating face and handed her a tissue. "You haven't eaten yet, right? Do you want to get lunch?" Joslyn wiped the sweat off her forehead and narrowed her eyes at him, "How old are you?"
