s.p.a.ce? That wasn"t there before.
"How the h.e.l.l did I get s.p.a.ce as an affinity? Was it la-"
[Excuse me are you still there? ]
Interrupting Me from my thoughts was the female a.s.sistant. I hurriedly replied to her.
"Ah yes, my attributes are."
I told her my stats as stated but left out my species.
Can"t have her find I"m not human anymore.
Suddenly a disappointed voice sounded out from the phone.
[Ah, Can you come to the Union for further testing? Bye]
The call ended.
I stood there absently, still processing the disappointed tone of voice and complete lack of honorifics at the end.
"Am I that weak?"
No that wasn"t right, The protagonist, Elijah Ardor had most of his stats at E+Rank when he joined the Shield but...
My stats were better than his. And I was sure my affinities and species were responsible for this. Then why that tone?
Ah.
She must have thought I was lying, Yeah Elijah had his stats at E and he was considered the best talent humanity had.
Yeah, She must have thought I was lying.
Well, need to go to the Union Building to get information about my training I guess.
I opened my door and walked out. As I was reaching the end of the hallway and down the stairs, Multiple little kids went past me, All of them looking malnourished. Seeing this I had a frown on my face.
"Is Miss Penny feeding them well? Wait"
I looked at myself, my arms were skinny, I pulled up my shirt and looked at my chest,
To my shock, my ribs were showing.
"Okay she has not been feeding us a lot
It could also be that the orphanage is not getting enough funding.
Well, my awakened status should get the government to support it more so maybe the children"s condition would improve.
"Wait I don"t have any money how am I going to get there."
I decided to go to Miss Penny to ask her for some money out of the 50 Thousand studs she took from me yesterday.
I decided to ask one of the many kids about her location.
"Hey, you know where Miss Penny is?"
The kid looked up at me and said.
"She should be in her office, Al."
Al? Was that my nickname around here?
"Where is that?"
"Umm at the top floor where it is usually at Al."
"Okay, thanks."
I went through the stairs up and arrived at the top floor I a.s.sumed because there were no more stairs upwards.
I then went into the only room that I thought she was in.
The room had a door with the sign "Manager" On it.
I knocked on it.
"Come in. "
I went in and was immediately repulsed by the smell of smoked weed in the office.
"Holy s.h.i.t this woman smokes!"
I struggled to open my mouth when Miss Penny said.
"What do you want?"
Getting the smoke out of my head I answered
"I want 3000 Studs out of the 50000 I received as a reward for me becoming an awakened.
" No. "
"Why? "
"Because I don"t want to."
This woman! Now I realized that the reason the kids were malnourished wasn"t because of funding.
It was because this hog was like this!
"That is the money I received as a reward for becoming awakened, I want it, or else I"ll report it to the authorities."
"You won"t dare to."
"What gives you the confidence to say that?"
She didn"t respond immediately,
"Fine.... you can take only three thousand."
"Five thousand now."
"What?! Why?! "
She exclaimed.
"Because I said so, you can take the remaining 45 thousand I don"t care about that. "
I remembered in the novel that the main characters had a lot of money, of course, that came from their families but I also had an ace up my sleeves.
Stocks!
I knew what companies whose stock fell and rose because the author wrote about it as an attempt at world-building I guess but I Knew!
And Besides, the events that happened after the start of the novel in 2065, So I had plenty of time to make more money if my plans went well.
Far more than just fifty thousand.
".. fine. "
"Hmm, sorry I didn"t hear you well enough"
"I said fine!"
"Then give it to me"
She, obviously being in a bad mood reached under her desk, opened a drawer and took out a black card, and gave it to me.
"Use only five thousand from there. Got it?! "
"Ok Ok Geez"
d.a.m.n this woman was angry. It"s just five thousand studs.
I said being oblivious to the fact that I was already used to the fact that the main characters spent millions even billions of studs so easily.
Nevertheless, I took the card and left.
I stepped out of the orphanage after walking down those d.a.m.ned stairs.
It"s 2063 woman Just install a d.a.m.n elevator!
I went outside and saw snow covering the entire area
Oddly I wasn"t cold even though I just had an ordinary T-shirt on me and jeans.
"Is this because of my ice affinity? "
It was quite amazing that I wasn"t feeling cold despite it snowing outside.
I shrugged it off and walked outside. Walking in the snow was hard as I only had slippers on me. I Went out of the road and took the path we took yesterday to the orphanage. I quickly reached the train station.
I went inside and walked to one of the stands where there was a line.
A lot of people were looking at me with surprise and pity because I was wearing nearly nothing for this type of weather and my skinny arms and my slightly sunken cheeks.
I stood in line. Waiting for my turn. When it was finally my turn I handed the man behind the counter and told him.
"I want a single ticket and can you please tell me the station closest to the Union please?"
The man looked at me and said.
"That would be Arainu Station, You should get off the train when the conductor announces it."
I thanked him and took back my card.
I entered the train and took the seat a.s.signed to me on my ticket. Each seat here was private, which made Sense see the hulking size of the train.
I went to compartment 4 on the train, After scanning my ticket I entered the compartment and took my seat. I then heard my stomach rumbling.
Checking the time on my phone I found it to be 11:36 Am, Quite early and it was reasonable I was hungry because the only thing I had since I came to this world was a single cupcake.
I looked around the compartment and found what looked like to be an attached phone.
Picking it up it automatically dialed itself and I was soon talking to a man.
I asked him about the breakfast options and after he told me I ordered option two which was Fried eggs, Orange juice, and Along with two pieces of bread with jam.
I then sat with my eyes waiting for my food to come.
The train soon started and I was off to the Union, where I seriously needed to get stronger quickly if I had any chance of Surviving the next few years.
