I confidently walked towards Emily who still hadn't noticed me.
"Hi Emily"
Emily startled a bit and turned around towards me. "Oh hi Drake, I didn't see you."
"Emily is everything okay?"
"Huh, why are you asking me? Everything is fine."
I could see in her eyes that everything was not fine and that she was currently dealing with something that was making her sad.
"Are you truly okay?"
"Yes truly, I'm fine Drake. Sorry but I have to go right now, so I'll see you later."
Emily turned around and tried to walk away, but this time I didn't let her. I grabbed her hand causing her to turn toward me.
"Emily, we are friends right?"
"Huh, yes we are. Why are you asking me that."
"Well, then why aren't you telling me the truth?"
"What do you mean?"
"Please don't act dumb. I know something is causing you to feel so dejected lately and I don't know why you feel like you couldn't tell me about it. Do you not regard me as your friend or what is it?"
"Drake that's not it. Truly you're one of the best friends I have."
"Then why can't you tell me about it?"
"It's just some family troubles, nothing you can do anything about."
"How do you know I can't do anything about it?"
"Because, well because becau-" Emily started to stutter a little bit, not knowing what she wanted to say.
"Because you still think I'm a kid?"
"No that's not it."
"Emily if you truly don't want to talk about that's fine, then I'll drop it. But I want you to know that if you want to tell me about your problem I will do anything I can to help you."
Emily was finally quiet, no words were able to leave her mouth anymore. I could also see some small tears appearing in her eyes.
"You can confide in me, Emily truly."
And with those words of mine, it was like a dam burst inside Emily. Her eyes started to get wetter and wetter and she began crying. I was a bit stunned as I didn't expect the always kind and easygoing Emily to suddenly start crying.
But then something happened which stunned me even more. Emily moved in my direction and started hugging me while still crying. I didn't really know what to say to the crying Emily so I just hugged her back letting her cry it out.
And there we stood, hugging while Emily was crying on my shoulder. I really pained me to see her cry, but it was probably a good thing right now. Hopefully, after crying it out she'll feel a bit better and can finally tell me about what is going on.
And honestly, even though I didn't like seeing her cry, it still felt great about how she was hugging me. I could feel her breasts pressed on to me and I smelled a nice fragrance coming from her. But I wouldn't dare get an erection right now. Emily was feeling bad enough right now, so something poking her lower regions probably wouldn't make it any better.
So like that we stood there for a few minutes. Emily crying on my shoulder while I tried to comfort her as best as I was currently able to do. But honestly, all I could do right now was to let her cry it out and say some comforting words to her.
Most of the students already are in their dorms, so not many people were out on the streets right now. So nobody disturbed us even though we were in the middle of the road.
After about 10 minutes passed Emily started to cry less and it seems like she finally cried it out. This entire times our bodies were pressed again each other and it wasn't easy for me to contain myself. I mean even though she is crying, she still is an incredibly attractive woman whom I have the hots for. But luckily I managed to succeed.
Emily started to pick herself up and broke off the hug. Her face was really red from all the crying and I could still see some snot leaving her nose. It definitely wasn't an attractive view, but I didn't show any distaste towards it.
"I-m sorry."
"It's okay, I'm there for you."
A light smile started came on her face as she quickly tried to brush her tears and snot away. She looked a bit embarrassed having shown me such a face.
"So can you tell me what has been troubling you these past few weeks?"
"I'll tell you. It's about my mother. Since I was young she has always been sickly, but she always managed to get through it. But right now her illness has started acting up again and it seems like it won't be going down anymore. A lot of doctors have been trying to treat her, but none of them have the slightest clue of what illness it is. Most of them gave up saying that she probably doesn't have much more time left."
Hearing this I was quite shocked. So this was the reason for her dejected looks lately.
"What about your father?"
"He left us when I was young, I don't even know him."
"I'm sorry."
"It's okay, I should have told you before. I don't know why I didn't."
"Don't worry about it. Just know that in the future when something is bothering you, you can always come to me. I'll always be there for you."
When I said this I could see Emily shying away a bit, trying to not lock her eyes with me. Seems like our relationship just advanced a bit further.
I started thinking about how I would be able to help Emily and hopefully her mother as well. If a lot of doctors have already tried that means it isn't just some ordinary disease, but something more complicated they still don't understand.
But all of that doesn't really matter to me as I still have the system. It doesn't really interact with me a lot, but I still earn a stable amount of SP every day so perhaps I can buy something that is able to cure Emily's mother.
So I started to search through the shop, but I immediately stopped as this would take a lot of time if I needed to do it by myself, so I asked the system a question which hopefully would be answered positively.
"System is there something in the shop which is able to help Emily's mother?"
[System doesn't know what is wrong with her, so isn't able to deduce a cure]
"Then is there something which is able to inspect what is wrong with her?"
And after a few moments, the system answered me which caused a smile to come upon my face.
[Yes using the full-body analysis tool it is possible to analyze a person's body]
Hearing this I finally realized something. The system is capable more than I think it is. I never even thought about using it like this, but seeing this I knew that it probably can do way more than I think. I finally realized how stupid I actually have been acting.
Lately, I have just been training my body and magic not even thinking about the system, but seeing this I can probably rely on it some more.
"Show me the information about the full-body analysis."
Use: When seeing a target you can analyze their bodies. A higher level of this skill will grant you more information. When scanned you can view the targets information and it will be saved inside the system, so you can always check the data. All sorts of information will be shown. From body measurements to diseases and from skills a target can use to their magic affinity. After scanning a target there will be a cooldown of 30 minutes.
Requirement: The target has to be in the eye-range of the Host.
At level 1 this skill is only able to use on humans. With increases in the level, there are more possible species to scan.
Leveling: Upgrade to level 2 cost 400 SP]
Seeing the skill explanation, I immediately bought it bringing my total SP to 1500. I have been saving up for quite some time. Even though I sometimes spent SP on some sexy outfits or sex toys, I still saved up quite the amount, but seeing the upgrade to level 2 would already cost double than buying the skill it seems I'll need to pump quite some SP into it.
First thing I did after buying it was scanning the woman in front of me.
[Name: Emily - Age: 18 years old - Race: Human - Gender: Female
STR - 5
STM - 5
AGI - 5
INT - ?
WIS - ?
Skills: ?
Sexual partners: 0
Measurements: ??-??-??
]
Seeing all of this I saw the drawback of the skill. It seems on this low level the information I can see is not really that much. I can see her physical stats, but probably only because they are so low. For the rest, only the most basic of basic's information was shown. Funnily enough sexual partners are visible. Not that it will increase by much, it will become 1, but after that, it won't ever increase anymore.
"Drake?"
"Huh, what?"
"Are you okay you've been staring in front of you for the last few minutes?"
Realizing that I actually was standing there, mulling over things inside my mind, must have looked quite strange for her.
"It's nothing I was only thinking about what I can do to help."
Saying this a sad expression returned to her face, thinking about her mother.
"It's okay, not even a doctor can deduce what is wrong with her, so how is it possible for you? It's good enough for me that you even want to care about it."
"Why wouldn't I care? But aside that there is a small chance I am able to figure out how to cure your mother."
"WHAT?" Emily yelled out.
"Don't get your hopes up. I don't even know if it will work or not."
"What are you thinking about then?"
"It's a bit complicated to tell you, so you'll just have to trust me. First things first can I meet your mother? After that, we'll see what happens."
