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

Huh? Wait, hold on right there. If the rift only opened up around the place where the mana is much thicker than normal, doesn't that mean it will continue showing up more in this district? Because of the Defensive Formation, the mana in this district have become much thicker than before, heck I'm a mana generator myself. So is it not a coincidence for it to appear right in front of my face? Sheila heaved a helpless sigh and frown when she comes to this realization. It seemed that trouble after trouble keeps on chasing after her as if they had no else to target other than herself.

Is this what it means by 'great power comes great responsibility'? Sheila let out another sigh before continuing her thought, This is why I prefer only taking care of myself and my loved one's life instead of being nosy like a certain hero trying to protect everyone else when he didn't even have the ability for it which would result in a tragedy. It is meaningless unless you have the strength to back it up, not that I mind dying as a hero or personally hates hero myself, I just don't want to risk my life for some random dude when I could be grinding up my levels so that I could protect the people I care about much better. I'm just not suited for this hero job.

Even though that was what she thought about this whole hero thing, Sheila had personally saved two girls at her own free will. The first was when she stopped Sylvia from committing suicide by jumping off from the top of the school's building, even though it was the system that caused her to make a move, she didn't mind much since it's quite rare for the system to create a quest out of nowhere unless she was caught in the trouble herself...which is more likely to happen. When that happens, she could only blame herself.

"Are there any ways to shut the rift before a monster show up?"

Angelica heaved a helpless sigh when Ria asked the question that also had been bothering Sheila too. Although the question may seem idiotic as even up until now, the rift was still appearing around the corner of the world which suggest that such a thing is not possible but, you never know, just because no one has the capability to do it now doesn't mean the same in the future. Perhaps, Sheila might be the person for it once she hit high enough level. As expected, Angelica answered back by shaking her head in response.

"That was why it has been quite chaotic on the other side. No matter how much research we did, none bore fruit. Ah, when I said 'the other side', I meant it for the one who was involved in a supernatural, a mage like Sheila and someone like me. And actually..."

Angelica was stuck in her word midway as if considering whether she should tell the two about the more dire problem. She had seen Sheila's capabilities with her own two eyes, with that much power, there's no way the 'hyenas' won't be interested in her, especially the mage community. They definitely won't let her go that easily if they were to witness her 'magecraft'. This won't be a problem if Sheila had a background like her own but that's not the case here. 

Slap!

Suddenly, Angelica slapped her cheeks out of nowhere which caused the two to be taken in surprised. Idiot! If I want to be that kind of hero, of course I have to help people when they require help or in danger! I won't be a hero if I didn't do it! This is not something I should be wasting my time now. Angelica scolds herself internally when she comes to the realization. 

"Ah, sorry. I was just trying to bring my mind together, it's nothing much."

"Uh, if you say so, alright."

"Anyways, what I'm going to tell you now doesn't have anything to do with the rift but it is also very important."

Sheila tilted her head in confusion in response to Angelica for a moment before gesturing her to continue.

"Your 'magecraft' is very much different compared to the one I have seen for the other mages. You didn't need to do any sort of preparation to conjure your spell, which already makes you a unique case in the mage community if the news was spread to them. But if they also knew that your spell is more powerful than their magecraft, what do you think they would do in this situation?"

In summary, you are in deep shxt if you show more of your power in front of others, especially the mage from the 'Mage Association'. 

A frown appeared on Sheila's face as she entered into deep contemplation, realizing another danger in the corner. No matter how strong her current stats is, she is still unable to hold herself against many enemies at once, especially when she didn't have any knowledge regarding the modern magic or what they called, magecraft. I need to do some investigation on them but I don't have any target for that, no. I have accidentally come across some people who have the 'aura' around them early but I ignored them as I didn't know what it was about back then. 

Though she didn't know anything about them, Sheila wasn't afraid of them if one day her ability was exposed. Also, if they ever tried to do anything to her or people around her with ill intent in mind, she could take care of them by using the formation, without exposing more of her ability. They have no way to escape from her 'evil' clutch as the moment they stepped into this district, it's basically the end for them. With that in mind, perhaps, there's a way for her to look out for them by incorporating some sort of presence detection skill solely for looking after an individual who had a special 'aura' in person into the formation. If that is possible, she won't get caught by surprise if they ever decide to do some sneaky things. 

Sheila was about to pull out her phone and looked into the system when she realized that Angelica was still around and put her phone back into her pocket. That was a close call. Though Angelica won't think that her power all comes from a single app, it was better to be safe just in case. 

"By the way, now that you have told us the information that I wanted, what kind of favor are you going to ask of me?"

Speaking of Angelica, Sheila didn't forget regarding the deal she had taken for the price of learning about the information of the rift. Now, with the information out of the way, Sheila was curious about what would the red-haired girl going to do with the favor. 

"Hmm~ I will keep it for now. I might use the favor so that you could save me from the future danger that I might come across without being able to escape from it, just like what you did back in the mountain."
