But he had been grabbing a lot due to the teachings he's been receiving from their history teacher. He's been learning a lot regarding the events that took place in the past, in a more ancient world.

The other students in his classroom were learning a lot too. But it was always still hard whenever the history teacher gives them something to do in the classroom. It does stress Aiden out, it does take him minutes to finish the class work.

And whenever he was done, it would feel like he had lost brain cells. This world's history was hard for him. So out of all the activities that took place in his classroom today, all the subjects they were taught, history was the one that stressed him out.

..But he had arrived home now, what he wanted to do was just to stroll into the house, enter his room, and land on the bed.

But would he be able to do that? Something was waiting to reveal itself to him. And what was that? The system's quest. He was sauntering toward the main house to step foot into it when the system's interface appeared in front of him.

______

<Ding! Ding!>

<Daily quest>

<Jog from here back to your academy, then jog back home>

<Rewards>

<+10 Exp>

<+10 Skill points>

_______

A bewildered expression appeared on Aiden's face at that moment seeing the quest. Now, this was a different quest, he had never gotten something like this before.

He had just arrived home and was planning to reach his room and land on the bed, and the system was giving him a quest to jog to his academy and jog back home? He hadn't even entered the house not to talk of changing up and taking off his bag.

'What sort of quest is this? Does the system want to punish me? What have I done wrong?'. Aiden thought to himself.

..He knew he'll have to accomplish the quest, as said, he doesn't like missing out on the rewards.

But what he doesn't know was if he should go into the house to drop off his bag and begin jogging back to his academy, or if he should just start jogging now without entering the house at all.

He decided to go with the latter 'cause he'll most likely meet his mum when he enters the house. And when he had dropped his bag, changed up, and wants to head out again...his mum would definitely question him.

So it was best to begin jogging back to his academy without entering the house. He planned to enter the house, head straight to his room, and land on his bed...but see what the system had caused?

How would people that had seen him pass before view him when they see him jogging back again? And worst of all, he'd still be wearing that same robe and carrying his school bag. They'd be thinking something had happened or he was running from someone.

..That would be what would run through their minds most likely.

He thought of the quest the system gave to him yesterday. 'Drink two cups of water' which he easily accomplished though he wasn't thirsty. Why can't the system give him another quest like that?

Even if she adds another cup of water to it and it becomes 'drink three cups of water', Aiden would still prefer to accomplish that than what the system had just given to him now.

Getting to his academy on foot wouldn't be easy 'cause the academy wasn't close to his home...he knew the quest wouldn't be easy to accomplish at all. This thought couldn't help but run through his mind,

'What have I done to deserve this?'.

..It just seemed like the system wanted to punish him in the name of giving him a quest.

And this was another thought that ran through his mind almost immediately,

'And not like the rewards increased, it's still the same 10 Exp and 10 Skill points for accomplishing such a difficult quest'.

It was he, Oliver, and Ava that came back from school together. As known, they'll reach their different houses before he reaches his. So the both of them had already reached their homes while Aiden kept on sauntering.

..And now that he had finally arrived home, he got a quest from his system to jog back to his academy.

It was just somehow and a little annoying. But there was no need to suck, he should begin working on accomplishing the quest now.

He strolled out of the compound, then muttered to himself,

"I'm gonna sweat a lot from doing this".

The moment he made that utterance, he began jogging. Now, jogging was different from running. While jogging, you wouldn't need to go too fast, you wouldn't need to add extra pace to your movement.

But running requires you to go fast though you can go at the speed you like, it shouldn't be as slow as jogging. So Aiden's pace at this moment wasn't that fast, it was gonna take a while before he reaches his academy.

He had come to discern something, before he jogs to and fro from his academy, lots of time would have passed. So he wouldn't arrive home at the normal time he was supposed to, and that might make his mum question him...or maybe not.

Well, if she questions him, he knows what to say, and it was gonna be a lie...it wouldn't be the first time he was lying to his mum.

He was still jogging when he thought of something. What if he comes across any of his classmates on his way to the academy? He or she would be like, 'Aiden, where are you heading to still carrying your school bag and wearing the robe you wore to school today?'.

And if he doesn't reply to the question, the person might end up laughing. So he was hoping not to come across any of his classmates at this moment.

It was just like he was doing exercise, he was carrying his school bag that had books in it with reed pens and jogging...he was doing exercise.

Jogging past some people, they'll swivel their heads around and glance at him, where was this small boy jogging to? That's what was running through their minds. Some even recognized he was the son of, Ethan, an average-ranked chief.

While some didn't even bother to glance at him after he ran past. They didn't care to glance at him, some didn't even notice he ran past them.

Aiden was still jogging, and by now, balls of sweat were already forming on his forehead...it wasn't easy. He wasn't walking, he was jogging, so he was already feeling heat around his body.

Jogging for some minutes more, the balls of sweat on his forehead had already increased. It got to a point where he had to stop, he was panting a little. As said, it was just like the system wanted to punish him.

..But that wasn't the case, the system didn't give him the quest with punishment in mind.

There were what they call hard quests, and there were bits of easy ones. The one the system gave to him was a hard quest that he was already trying to accomplish.

Aiden stood at a spot with his body bent a little and balls of sweat still on his forehead...he was also panting.

'I have to keep going, I have to accomplish the quest'. Aiden thought to himself.

And with that, he began jogging once again. It wasn't easy, he felt like giving up at some point, but he had to force himself to keep going. At some point, he'll start breathing like he was about to have a heart attack, then he'll continue jogging once again.

..And right now, Aiden had arrived in front of his academy, but he didn't step foot into the compound...that wasn't part of the quest.

Unless the system then says to him, 'Step foot into the compound to fully accomplish the quest'. Aiden was panting hard right now with his body bent a little and his gaze focused on one of the buildings of the academy.

At this moment, no students nor teachers were strolling out of the academy, and he hopes it stays that way. What would he say when a teacher or student strolls out of the academy and questions him? Especially the one that saw him going home.

And here he was sweating and panting like he ran a marathon? He wasn't ready to answer questions, so he was just hoping no one walks out of the academy.

'I've gotten to my academy, now, it's time to jog back home, gosh! This can be considered punishment, would the system give me this same quest another day?'. Aiden thought to himself.

Well, it was best to worry about this later. As for now, it's time to start jogging back home.
