The World seems Realistic but Why do I have a Leveling System?

When Sheila reached the front of her house, she didn't enter normally but instead went from the window on the second floor of their room with Ria on her back. The reason why Sheila did this is that her parents might question her about the fainted Ria on her back and if their voice is loud enough causing her to awaken, that will be a problem by then since it seemed that Ria is still quite traumatized about it. And that is why, Sheila wants to comfort the girl first and see how it goes, after all, she was just assuming that Ria is still traumatized since she hadn't woken up on the way home. 

That ogre sudden appearance was really unexpected and if Angelica was not around at that time, she could have taken care of it by either using the defensive formation or killing it with her trump card. And if that happens, Ria would not have been taking the pressure on her own till Sheila can finally fire her spell at it. Well, there is no medicine for regret, all she had to do was the same as always, get even stronger and perhaps, helping power leveling Ria to high level enough for her to not feels weak when in the presence of an Ogre. 

Once she slipped into the room via the window with hiding her presence from being seen by others, Sheila put Ria onto the bed for her to rest before pulling the chair from the table and find herself sit on it next to the bed. Looking at the sleeping figure on the bed, Sheila heaved a sigh as she wonders how did the situation unfold into this when they were just on their way home from school. Is it perhaps because she had been taking it 'easy' and focused more on training herself in combat practice instead of leveling? The monster could have appeared anywhere around the world, yet for it to appear right in front of her as if... Sheila shook her head when the thought reached that point, she can't just make an assumption based on what she had experienced only once. 

I guess I can only wait until Angelica arrived after finishing whatever business she had. With that thought in mind, Sheila pulled out the phone from her pocket and click on the leveling system app on the home screen. Before long, a note has fallen into her grasp and Sheila input a tiny amount of mana into it and it undergoes a change from a rune note to that of a slime. 

Byun! Byun!

When the slime makes its appearance, it jumped around Sheila vigorously as if it was happy being outside with its master which put a smile on her face. After power leveling Kuu till yesternight, it has already reached the max level and ready to evolve further anytime now if permitted. While she was power leveling it, Sheila also teaches it quite a few techniques, hoping that it will learn and absorb the technique and make its own. As a result of her effortlessly teaching the slime to her best, it managed to learn two skills. One of them is Mimicry⁠ which is now at level 2. 

Sheila crouches down on her knees before showing 'Kuu' the green jade bracelet on her left hand and said.

"Can you mimic into this, Kuu? If you can, you would not have any need to enter the note anymore. Fufufu, of course, I'm not lying. Come, give it a try."

After confirming that it understood her intention, Sheila finds herself sitting back on the chair while staring at the 'trembling' slime on the floor with curiosity filled in her eyes. Previously, she had only told it to mimic something easy, such as football, stone, things like that. At first, it was having a problem trying to manipulate its mana to change its jelly-like body into something else but, with the help and advice from Sheila, it somehow managed to acquire the skill at the end of it. Or so Sheila thought since sometimes she wonders if the slime actually understood her actual intention correctly because how pretty advance it seems to her.

Although 'Kuu' appeared to be quite an intelligence for a slime, it seemed to be on par of a human child at most. This was later found out while she was power leveling it, it gives her quite the shock since the slime she had been hunting so far never seemed to be that of intelligence. Is it possible because of the taming skill? Or is it because of the system? It didn't take long before she got a headache for just thinking deeply about it as a frown appeared on her face before Sheila heaved a sigh and muttered softly to herself.

"If only I can ask a question or two toward the system like back then when I get to know a bit about it. There's just too much that I wanted to know as my knowledge was amount to nothing but little. Knowledge is power, indeed."

Before she could continue further into her thoughts, Kuu who was 'trembling' on the floor were suddenly surrounded by a blinding light that caused Sheila to shut her eyes and looked away due to the brightness. It was only but a moment and when Sheila Sheila regained her sight and looked down, what she saw was a bracelet painted in bluish like that of a sky, settled on the floor. No slime was in sight. 

Sheila bends down onto her knees before picking the bracelet off the ground and equipped it with a smile on her face. The bracelet vibrates in response, showing the proof to her that 'Kuu' has indeed changed into that of a bracelet from a slime. Since she had already equipped APW on her left hand, Sheila wore the mimic bracelet onto her right hand before gazing at it for a while before nodding her head with a content look on her face. 

No matter how one looks at it, it just a normal bracelet. Because the touch feels strangely soft like rubber, one would think that it was a cheap bracelet that one could get from a night market. But its real form is that of a slime. The only thing left was to teach Kuu to make a quick change so that I could put it to use whenever the situation called for, but that might take a while as the mimicry skill is still at a low level at the moment.

"Mmm..."

The sudden faint voice informing Sheila that Ria was starting to awaken from her slumber as she brought her chair closer to the bed before holding onto Ria's hand. 

"Ria?"

With her voice as a signal, Ria slowly opened her eyes before surveying at her surroundings. She tried getting up on her back but her body feels so weak and sluggish as if her energy was all exhausted but as far as she remembered, she was walking on her way home from school. She shouldn't be feeling this tired if it was only walking a few miles away from home, and the strangest thing is, how did she end up waking on her bed now? Looking at the worried expression on Sheila's face, something must have happened which caused Ria to frown at the thought.

"Did anything happen?"

"Eh?"

Sheila seemed to be surprised as if not expecting for Ria to question her. Sheila had thought Ria would show a bit of traumatizing reaction which she would comfort her in return but for her to suddenly ask such question with a serious expression, perhaps? No way, right? with such thought in mind, Sheila took a deep breath before opening her mouth and ask.

"...what is the last thing that you remember?"

"Well...we were talking about how the festival was very lively compared to the previous year on the way home, that's the last thing I remember."

To make her surprise reaction even more realistic, Sheila opened her mouth wide as her eyes appeared to be shaken for a short moment before she comes back to her sense and heaved a sigh. It seemed that she didn't remember what happened afterward. Is it even possible? Should I tell her what happened although it might arouse her traumatizing experience? 

"You...truly didn't remember anything after that?"

Ria shook her head in response as even when she tried her best to search the memory on that particular time, nothing seemed to appear in her mind which caused her to feel scared quite a bit. Did I get amnesia or something? No, I remember everything else but only at that particular time. 

"I guess I have to tell you about what happened while we were on the way home."
