Avatar System

Chapter 16: Shield



Nami wears a black T-shirt and jeans for her outfit and Sora wears a red long sleeve T-shirt and black pants with Black shoes.

Nami looked at Sora from head to toe and said "you look good." Sora smiled and said "yeah, all other clothes become shorter. I need new clothes."

Nami nodded as she could understand the reason. Because of his sudden growth that happened.

Nami walked out of the house and said "let's go."

~scene change~

They take the train to go to the shopping mall. On their way Nami asked him about his college which he replied briefly.

The shopping mall is quite big one. This has almost everything they need. They can't afford expensive clothes but they can afford the other. But they have enough to pay for some local brands of clothes.

They go to shop to shop and see if they like anything. Sora chose a black single piece for Nami. She tried the outfit and it is perfect for her. She looks very beautiful in it.

Nami was happy that Sora chose it for her so she immediately bought it.

Nami also selects his clothes for him. Most of the time it's Nami or his mother who chooses them. As they have a good eye for that.

The atmosphere between them returns to normal as what happened this morning already passes by. They also don't act stiff anymore now.

"Nami, I didn't know you were here." A man's voice came from their back as Nami and Sora were walking.

Nami frowns her brow and looks back. Sora also does the same with her. Sora can't recognise the man. Not like he knows about her friends and personal life but he still knows some.

But the way he addresses it seems he is very close to her.

[Oh, someone is jealous] Sora ignored her comment.

Nami suddenly grabbed Sora's hand like a normal couple does and said "why? Do I need to inform you where I am going?"

The man looked at How she is Holding Sora and immediately his face darkened. He looked at Sora and saw that he is a little better looking than him. He returns to Nami and smiles as he says "no no. I didn't mean it like that. Who is he?"

Nami tightens her hand and says "he is my boyfriend." Sora looks at Nami confusedly but next second he understands. He has read a lot in books about how a sister or friend uses her brother or friend as a shield against pressure.

"Your Boyfriend? Don't act now. I know you are single." The man said.

Sora moves his hand and wraps it around her waist and asks her "who is he babe?" She is happy that Sora is helping her with the act. So she acted more into it and said "he is Finn, from my college babe. He pesters me all the time."

Sora nodded and looked at Finn and asked "are you disturbing my girlfriend?"

Finn's face darkened, he looked at Sora and said "don't act like, you are her boyfriend. And release her."

Sora hugged Nami tighter with both hands and said "why should I let go of my girlfriend? And be a good citizen and stop harassing girls outside. Because of men like you, women can't feel safe outside."

The man looks at Sora and Nami hugging and becomes angry "you.."

Sora said "me what?" He let go of Nami. But nami didn't want to. She starts to get worried. She doesn't want her brother to get hurt by him.

Sora gives her a reassuring smile and walks towards Finn.

He has superpower, of course he is more courageous than before. Besides, it is for his sister.

Finn looked at Sora and said "what, do you want to fight?"

Sora laughed and said "dude, do you think it's a tv show or romantic novel where the hero will fight the villain for heroine."

Finn's face turned red when he heard it. Sora came in front of him and said "look man, stop persuading someone who doesn't like you. You are hurting yourself and the other party too. You can find someone else. She already has someone. So stop pestering her."

Finn looks at Nami and sora. He knows Sora is right. She told him many times that she doesn't like him. But he thought if he showed her his love continuously she would like him.

Suddenly he felt that he couldn't move. The body is being peralise. His breathing also started to slow down. As if someone is choking him with something.

He tried to move but he couldn't.

He looked in front and saw that Sora is looking at him normally.

He wants to scream and ask for his help but he can't.

Second continued to pass by. And he can feel that he can't hold on any more. Tears already start to drip from his eyes. His eyes turn red in fear. When he thought he was going to die. He feels like the invisible force is starting to weaken.

He can breath again. So he takes a deep breath and his body also starts to loosen up. He immediately falls on the ground and starts shaking. He looks everywhere and looks at Sora and Nami too.

Sora leaned over and asked "are you okay man? What happened?"

Nami also looks at him confusedly. He was fine a minute ago and suddenly fell on the ground. She walked towards them.

Sora helps him to stand up and Nami gives him a bottle of water to drink, seeing his panicked face.

He takes the water bottle and drinks it with a big gulp. His body relaxes a little and thanks Nami and Sora. He looked around to find something.

Sora said "are you okay man? I think you should go home and get some rest. I think you are not feeling well." Finn nodded at sora.

He looked at Nami and bowed a little and said "sorry for disturbing you until now." He stood straight and looked at Sora and said "thanks man for the help. Take care of her and yourself."

He then looked at them and said "I will take my leave." Without waiting for their reply he immediately turned around and started to go outside with a big step.

Nami looks at his departure strangely and looks at Sora. She asked "what just happened?" Sora hugged her waist and said "God showed him the right path, babe."

Nami laughed and said "yeah babe. You can become a perfect shield from now on."

[don't worry, he will become more than that] sora ignores his sarcastic system and continues to shop with Nami after the little display of power.

Sora smiled to himself and said "let's go."

~scene change~

Sora and Nami come in front of a lingerie shop when Sora asks teasingly "babe want my help again?"

Nami pinched Sora's wrist and said "you wish. I am Enough."

She walks inside and Sora stands outside and waits for her return.

He takes out his phone and starts searching for his next world.

He needs System points ASAP. And for that he needs a body of powerful creatures. He also wants to go to a safe world too. He is not experienced enough to go to a too powerful world.

"Yuki, if I choose a powerful person as an avatar won't I get his power."

[yes and no. You will get the power. But you have to earn it through personal experience. You can't choose god as a avatar and just become god right]

Sora feels disappointed at this. He thought he would have a smooth ride for every world.

[But everything you buy from System will be with you in every world]

Sora rolled his eyes and said "for that I need System point at first which I don't have."

Sora shuts the phone and keeps it inside the pocket as he looks inside the shop.
