Chapter 138: CH.138 Two System Supports

Hmm. Is it morning? 

As I woke up, I was going to stretch, but noticed that I was sandwiched between two beautiful women. Why am I sleeping between Alice and Lua?

(Laura, what the hell happened?) I asked my most reliable information source.

(Good morning, Master. Do you remember what happened yesterday?) Laura asked.

(Doesn’t answer why I’m sleeping between Alice and Lua.) I commented.

(Just think back.) Laura said.

 

Hmm… so we were escorting the carriages, we fought an orc, we made our camp, then the other adventurers came, then there was a duel… Oh yeah. The duel. I took that attack to the face.

(Good. At least your memory still works.) Laura said.

(... So, what happened after I was hit by the beam?) I asked.

(You ordered Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon to attack. It took down the spirit tiger and then you collapsed. Then Miss Lucia worked hard to heal you so you wouldn’t die. Then…)

(WHAT? Die? I almost died? I mean, I thought I might, but still.)

(Without immediate medical attention from Miss Lucia, you would have died.) Laura said. (You have to thank her for saving your life.)

(Yes. I will.) I said. (So, how did I end up sleeping between these two?)

 

(After you were healed, Miss Alice said she doesn’t trust the adventurers and wanted to sleep with you to make sure you are safe. And Miss Lucia is sleeping with you in case your health begins to decline over the night.) Laura said.

(... but she is sleeping, right? How would she know if I just passed away in my sleep?) I asked.

(That’s because I would wake her up.) I heard a new voice in my head. The voice was clearly feminine.

(... and who are you? Why are more voices living rent-free in my head?) I asked.

(Are you saying I don’t pull my weight? That’s insulting.) Laura complained.

(No, I didn’t mean it like that. Just… who are you, Lady Mystery Voice?) I asked. I called her a lady instead of miss, as her voice sounded more lady-like. 

(I apologize, but I do not have a name. I am the System Support of Mistress Lucia.) The lady-voice said.

 

…

…

Excuse me, but WHAT? System Support? As in, like Laura?

(Not like me. Miss Lucia’s System Support is still basic level and I am standard.) Laura said.

(So, like what you used to be. When did she get that? Or did she have it and I just didn’t know about it?) I asked.

(She got it for saving your life, so that would be yesterday.) Laura said.

(... so, saving someone’s life is enough to get System Support?) I asked.

(No. It happened because I requested a reward for Miss Lucia for saving your life.) Laura said. (At first it was going to be curing her Blood curse, but as you already took care of it, a different reward was necessary. So I asked if she could get the System Support and my request was approved.)

(... How does this System Support thing even work? Can you just ask to get it for people?) I asked.

(I can, but it will never get approved without a good reason. And if I ask too many times without a reason, I might get demoted to basic, or even destroyed.) Laura said.

(Then better not to do that. I’m not sure I could live without you. But who approves these things?) I asked.

You are reading story Yugioh Card Summoner at novel35.com

(I’m sorry, Master. But that is level 4 classified information.) Laura said.

(And, what does this level 4 mean?) I asked.

(Only perfect level System Supports can tell their owner that information.) Lua’s System Support said.

(Oh. So you were still here. By the way, if you are Lua’s System Support, how are you talking to me?) I asked.

(I made a connection with her and established a link between us.) Laura said. (I thought Master would like to have it.)

 

I guess it is nice. 

(Does that mean I can talk to Lua in my mind like I can with you two?) I asked.

(With some minor training, Yes.) Laura answered. (And with no distance problems or transmission times, like telepathy has.)

(... so telepathy is a thing. Well, I guess telekinesis is, so I guess telepathy isn’t that strange.)

(Well, our communication is not telepathy. We don’t use mana to transfer our messages, but the System itself.) Lua’s System Support said.

(Okay. I can see how that would be better. … but then wait a second. Laura. How do you command my monsters if you don’t use telepathy?) I asked.

(It’s a hidden feature of your cards. By sending mana to a card in a specific way, I can transmit commands to your monsters.) Laura said.

(Oh. And why didn’t you tell me?) I asked.

(Because your mana control is not at the level where you can do it.) Laura said. (Verbal commands are much more efficient for you.)

(Oh. Ok.) I accept that. And if I want to do non-verbal commands, I’ll just ask Laura.

(Of course you do.) Laura said smugly. (And just in case you were worried, Miss Lucia is holding onto your cards.)

 

Well, I didn’t actually think about that part, but it’s good to know.

 

---

 

I was thinking of just getting up, but with two System Supports demanding that I wait until Lua can check me out, I just laid there. I also thought about opening my daily packs, but Laura banned that as well.

And it might have been a good idea. I didn’t really realize how hurt my body was, until I focused on it.

While my head, torso and legs weren’t too bad, my arms, especially forearms, hurt. A lot. I guess I did use them to protect my head, so… Better having them hurt than having my head hurt.

 

But it’s not like I did nothing with my time. Even if Laura banned opening packs, I could still go through my collection. She even allowed it when I asked.

And I have a very simple reason for doing it. My loss proved one thing, I’ve been using my cards wrong. 

Or perhaps I should say, I’ve been afraid of using them in their most powerful form. Install.

Installed cards can have a variety of effects, but the most powerful one of them might just be giving skills. Because skills give status points. And status points make you stronger.

Had Alice taken on an attack like that, she’d be dead. I’m not sure about Lua or Alex, but Lua would most likely die as well. Alex is a shield-guy, so he might survive. And that is the problem. Might. I want it to be guaranteed. And if I can do that with a few installs, that will be cheaper than cheap.

 

I ended up with a list of fourteen cards I wanted to try installing. Some of them would only work on specific people, like Violet Crystal for Lua, but some could be good for any of us. (or all of us.)
