"FUCK YOU, BITCHES!"
It could be said that Alex was an introvert — in front of large groups, his body would become stiff, something Alex himself didn't like.
'So what if I can't say this in real life? As long as it's virtual, I can say anything,' he thought as he cursed them.
Jimmy first looked at him blankly, then turned at an angle that blocked Alex.
'Can't fight this lunatic,' Jimmy thought.
"That's so random," Kael said.
Alex looked at him and replied with an innocent face, "It's better than lying, at least."
"Ahh, I think it's equally bad," Corin said blankly.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew.
And then, in their vision, five people appeared.
They were the teachers, the principal, and another Jimmy.
"Huff~ Good, you're all safe," Jon said in relief.
"What happened to the monster?" Veyra looked around, only to find it dead.
"Who did it?" she asked in surprise.
The Law Enforcer also looked with interest, but then his expression changed slightly — something Old Ray noticed.
'The soul of this monster… could it be that among these kids, there's someone with a soul talent?' Jimmy the Law Enforcer thought in surprise. You have to know, soul talents are rare.
"Yeah, Liliane and Alex were the ones who defeated it, teacher," Corin said.
"Oh," everyone looked at them in surprise.
Stream Chat

'Those two girls are so cute.' — @CuteGirl
'Lowkey, I'm gooning to that teacher, she's sooo hot.' — @No1Gooner

'This is the first time so many people have commented on my livestream, but... what the fuck is wrong with this chat?' Jimmy — aka Beasty — looked at the chat with wide eyes, completely ignoring what was going on beside him.
First, they were cursing Robert. Then they started cursing each other.And then... it completely turned into an 18+ mess.
'Crap, if this keeps going, my stream will get blocked!' What he was streaming was already a bit sensitive — and considering his age, it wasn't exactly appropriate either.
"Actually, it was Alex. I just hit it when it was already too weak," Liliane said.
Aedric, who had been focused on sensing any changes inside himself, finally looked around and said, "True, he was also the one who actually saved the school from—"
He stopped mid-sentence when he saw the unconscious man and Kael sitting on the ground.
"Oh really? HAHA! It seems I have to reward you then, HAHA!"The principal laughed loudly, pulling out his handkerchief and wiping the sweat off his face.
"Well, it better be soon, you know. Currently, the three of us are actually homeless... and we— cough —Alex hasn't even had breakfast yet..." Aedric calmly hinted.
"Right, right! I have a spare apartment you can use," the principal said, throwing a key toward Aedric, who immediately caught it.
"What's the principal so worried about?" Doran asked in a light tone.
"You don't understand politics, Teacher Doran... You know how big our school's name is, right? And the principal... ahh, how do I say this..." Jon glanced sideways at the principal, who was as fat as a pig.
"Oh, I see..." Doran nodded, finally understanding a bit.
Alex, who could defeat a monster of that level even before fully becoming a climber — that alone spoke volumes about his talent.
Building a good relationship with him would always be wise.
The principal and Aedric weren't even talking about helping or repaying the school — it was more about courtesy... or rather, finding an excuse to give him a favor.
"Principal David, you have interesting students at your school. HAHA," Jimmy the Enforcer laughed.
David simply gave him a polite smile and didn't say much.
"Anyways, you kids shouldn't stay here long," he said as he looked toward the ground where the students were gathered.
After nodding to the teachers, they all went to check on them. Jimmy the Enforcer headed off in another direction, seemingly to investigate that area, leaving Alex and the others behind.
"So…" Corin looked at them with an uncertain face.
"We should go. I'm tired," Aedric said with a weary sigh.
"Right ~ growl ~ I'm so hungry." Kael's stomach made a loud noise that reminded him of what he had gone through before awakening, and then he gave Robert an angry glare.
Robert received the glare with a smug face.
"I'm also feeling sleepy ~ yawn ~" Alex said as his head grew heavy from using his talent so much.
Everyone started to walk, but Alina suddenly stopped them.
"WAIT!"
"Huh? What's wrong? Is something wrong?" Robert asked, confused.
'Today is the last day of school. After this, Alex will go to the tower with his talent. He'll properly leave me behind both in strength and status,' Alina's thoughts were a mess.
It hit her that from now on she would see Alex less and less.
'What if some bitch comes and takes him? That white bitch is also so strong — and they both suit each other… no, what am I thinking… focus…'
"Alina, you okay?" Robert called again after getting no reply.
Jimmy, sensing something interesting, adjusted his camera angle to get a better view.
"I—I wan—want to sa—say something t—to you, A-Alex." Alina's face turned completely red as a tomato.
"Huh?" Alex was confused; in his view he had barely talked to her.
"Please marry me—ah no, I mean, go out with me!" Alina shouted at the top of her lungs.
Everyone was shocked.
"Huh? What? Raise your standards—ouch." Alex rubbed his head as Kael slapped it hard.
"Reply seriously. It takes a lot of courage to confess," Kael advised Alex with a serious face.
Everyone nodded.
Jimmy was excited; he could see his viewer count increase.
"Alina, I didn't know you actually thought like that about me. I'm surprised." Alex stepped closer to her as he spoke.
"But as I said, there are better men than me. I'm sorry!" Alex bowed with a serious expression.
'Like hell I will agree. Why go for one slice of pizza when I can get the whole pizza?..... I can even buy lots of different flavors too,' Alex thought sagely.
"Don't be sorry. I understand." Alina said. Alex stopped bowing and saw her tear-filled face.
At that moment time seemed to stop for Alex. A primary emotion he had never felt began to grow in his heart, with only one thought running through his mind: 'So cute.'
"I understand ~sniffle ~ I'm not worth it ~sniffle~ forget I ever asked ~sniffle."
"Wah wah. Sorry for being pathetic wah wah." Tears fell down her face like rain.
"Cruel," "Playboy," "Ungrateful," "Jerk."
Everyone present except Liliane cursed and coldly stared at Alex.
Jimmy's stream was filled with curses that definitely couldn't be said aloud.
In the center of it all, Alex calmly looked around with a blank expression.

Three minutes later
"Baby, you must be hungry. Let's go eat somewhere." Alina was hugging Alex's hand as they walked toward the exit.
"I'm so happy for her," Corin said as he stroked his imaginary beard.
"I'm more worried. I think I should just kill him now," Robert said, eyes red as he looked at Alex's back.
"They are such drama queens," Kael laughed at Corin and Robert's antics.
"Well, whatever… you aren't too sad, right, Liliane?" Aedric asked.
Liliane blinked in surprise. "What do you mean?"
"Ahhh… nothing."
