Chapter 99: Punishment
The rays of sunlight streamed through the glass windows and onto Riven’s face. His eyes flickered and opened.
"Urghh," he groaned, trying to stretch his hands to rub his eyes, but he felt something on his right hand.
"Huh?"
He turned his head and looked at his arm, only to find Noel asleep while on his hands.
"This would have been far better if it was a girl, but I’ll take what I can get," Riven said. He decided to not wake his brother and simply looked around. He was in the infirmary.
"This academy works fast, a wound like mine would normally kill someone," Riven said.
As he lay there, he recalled the notification that he had gotten before he passed out and tried to open the system screen.
[System is upgrading, 42 hours left]
"Huh? An upgrade? When did that happen? And when was this a feature of the system?" he wondered. The book had never said anything about a system upgrade when Lance used his own system.
"Whatever it is, I’m sure I’ll find out when the system comes online."
"Seems you have woken up." The nurse walked up to him. She glanced at Noel, who was lying down there.
