Rebirth Of The Heroine

Chapter 132: New Target

Ella had been tracking Mia and the others for a while now, she was even there when Mia was busy dealing with Mono. Although she didn't plan to help out or anything, she was just amazed that Mia was able to attract so much attention in one day.

The only thing that Ella was confused about was why did Mia's punch seem so weak and slow. From the looks of things, it seemed like Mia really did want to punch Mono but that defiantly wasn't her best from what she had seen at the training centre.

After Xander had stormed off, Robin and Mia decided that it would be best that they head back to class for their next lesson. They walked for a while but just before they got back to the first-year building, a group of first-year students were standing in front of the staircase.

There were three of them in total and on their wrist watch they had a power level between 2 and 2.5.

"What are we going to do, Dan asked for 50 credits by the end of this week." One of the girls said.

"I know, why did they have to pick on us, just cause we're weaker than him." Another girl replied.

Credits were the School's and city's currency system. Even though they were at military school, the rest of the city functioned as normal. There were still restaurants and shops and even fun activities and games to play all around the city. If you wanted to do these things you would have to pay with credits.

Students received free food while at the school but they also received a daily amount of ten credits that would be sent to their wristwatch. The students were able to get more credits by performing well on missions, school activities, and rewards.

Robin and Mia continued to walk past the girls to head the class, that's when one of the girls called out to them.

"Wait, stop right there you two!" the girl shouted.

Robin stopped immediately while Mia carried on walking.

"Hey, are you listening I said stop." The girl said, then another girl immediately got in front of Mia and pushed her back to where Robin was standing.

Mia was hoping another incident wouldn't occur at least while out in the sun. If she got inside the building just in time then she thought she would have had a fighting chance.

"I think I might have just solved our credits problem; you must be the only level ones in this whole school." The girl said. "Hand over 10 credits each and you can go inside."

"But that's all the credits we have," Robin complained.

"look I don't want to do this but if I don't, then my arse gets beaten. Hand over the credits now."

Robin looked at Mia with hope in his eyes, perhaps thinking that Mia might have been able to do something like last time but after trying to hit Mono, he knew she would have no chance. Besides, these were level twos even at full strength she might not be able to beat them. And heck, he felt ashamed for looking up to a girl for help.

Mia decided that it would be better off to just hand over the credits anyway. It was better than losing a fight and forcing the credits over.

Just then Mia received another system message.

Suddenly, Mia wanted to test out her chances. The idea of gaining additional exp and levelling up even further became really attractive to her but Mia wouldn't let her greed win her over. Right now there were three level 2 power users but the system had only asked her to defeat one of them.

The first thing Mia needed to do was get inside so she could use her inspect skill and find out which one was named Rita. Right now if Mia used it outside it would only appear as a blur.

In the end, Mia decided to hand over the ten credits, she placed her watch on the other girl's and the credits were transferred over. Robin ended up doing the same and the two of them were allowed to enter the building.

"Hey that was a great idea man!" one of the girls said, "Should we just stay out here until we find someone weaker again."

"What!" Mia said in her head, she was hoping that once they had paid them, the boys would enter the building but it looked like they were going to hang outside for a while. Mia suddenly stopped and waited.

"What are you two doing, scram unless you want an ass-kicking! I don't care if you're a girl." one of the students said.

Then Mia clenched her fist and shouted.

"Ritaa!"

All three girls turned their heads at the same time but not one of them replied. Mia's bad luck continued but she had one more plan to find out which one of them was Rita.

"If you pull this sort of thing again on me Rita, you're dead!" Mia said.

Suddenly the girl that stood in the centre of the three with red hair got up and shouted.

"What the hell did you say to me you little motherf**king b***h?"

"Run! Run!" Mia shouted.

Like a bolt of lightning, Robin and Mia ran as fast as they could to their next class.

"What did you do that for?" Robin asked.

"I just wanted to annoy them a little."

Robin couldn't help but think Mia was a little crazy but he liked the fact that Mia didn't seem to take crap from people stronger than her and kind of looked up to her a little. Not minding the fact that she's a girl.

Once they were just outside their class, Mia opened up her status screen to check if the Quest was still active.

"Good." Even though Mia was now away from Rita, it seemed like the quest was still active and Mia would get the exp as long as she completed it at any time.

And now she knew which one was Rita and who her first target would be.

"You're going to help me level up."
