After school closed for the day, students left their classrooms to go back to their dormitories. Very soon, three young boys at the age of fifteen entered into the room Alex and Jake were occupying.
The room was very large as each student had their own beds. They also had wardrobes, shelves and other things they could put their items on or in.
Alex didn't need any of this. It was useless to him. The spatial necklace and spatial ring he wore which had sunk into his body and merge with it had vast and excessive storage spaces.
The boys when they entered their room were greatly surprised to see Alex and Jake. These faces they seeing were new in the academy.
How was this possible? The school had admitted students long ago and wouldn't admit until the following year and they were still far from another admission year. How did these boys enter? This thought surfaced in their minds.
"Who are you? How did you enter into this place?" one of them called Rico asked. "I know the academy is far from admitting any student for now. We were given the opportunity to enrol by an instructor from the academy." Jake said. Then he turned to face Alex, "You see this punk here. Yes? he got us the opportunity. We were able to join because the fate of an instructor is in his hands. And that fate is if she would loose her treasured precious items to an instructor she got into a bet with." Jake said.
"Oh. You are the person instructor Jennifer has been searching for? The one with gifts and highly skilled to help her win the re-bet match. Haha. She has simply lost the bet. Was her eyes paining her, didn't she see there is nothing spectacular about you" A boy called Calvin said and laughed. He couldn't believe his eyes.
"He may have some points that would make him unique to Instructor Jennifer. She is a powerful expert, she can't make stupid mistakes." the last boy, Kevin said.
"Well, am Alex and he is Jake. Nice to meet you assholes" Alex said in an angry tone. These boys were mocking him. He wouldn't take that. He replied fire with fire.
"The hell, you just called me an asshole. Do you know who I am you son of a bitch. I would teach you a lesson in this place before John teaches you a good lesson out there." Calvin said angrily, ready for exchange of fists.
"Calvin, come on. Calm down, will ya? You stepped on his toes first. He would have to retaliate. Besides, he could beat you up. Have you quickly forgotten he was brought in here by instructor Jennifer. He would be strong and powerful since instructor Jennifer could think of him as replacement for all of us. He could damage you. So, mind your business or you might regret picking on him." Rico said in a sensible manner. He was not the hot-headed type like Calvin that would jump into matters without first weighing it out to see if it was advantageous or disadvantageous to him.
Calvin calmed when Rico spoke to him. Then he left their midst and went to lie in his bed. He picked up a book and started to read it content.
It didn't take hours for the whole school to know instructor Jennifer had gotten someone that would fight in the re-bet match to help her win back the piece of treasure she had lost in the previous bet.
Alex didn't leave the room he was in until evening when it was time for dinner. When he came out, students who had been trying hard to know who this person was were delighted when he finally came out.
Now they would get to see who this person was. They thought.
As soon as Alex came out, the eyes of everyone shone, especially the girls. He was the kind of boy that they would fall for just because of his extreme handsomeness. They could definitely say he was the most handsome boy in the whole school and probably the whole state their school was established in.
While the boys had their eyes glow in the light of envy and jealousy.
Who was this boy with a grandly impressive attractive appearance that would come to snatch their girlfriends and the girls they were hoping to make theirs?
Was it because of his peerless handsomeness instructor Jennifer couldn't bypass him and brought him to their academy? Was she planning on having an affair with him? This stupid, silly thoughts surfaced in the boys' minds.
The students with higher cultivation bases, like in the earth realm and skylord realm had their minds spin in awe when they saw Alex. As he walked, he was bathed in light from the sun and this made him resemble a goddess of beauty with masculine features.
Then they coldly snorted.
What a show-off. You can awe the entire world just by your appearance right?
Then they would erase it. When they are done with him, he would be marred all over. They would give him an excellent face lift, ironically speaking. So they decided his fate.
Alex and Jake didn't greet anyone since they didn't know them. They only went to where dinner would be served.
They already know where the dining room was located as they had gone through a book that had information on everything about the institution.
When they got there, they sat down quietly and silently, and patiently waited for their meal to be served.
It was a large dining hall. There were many rows of large dining tables that could contain more than a hundred students. And this was just one of the dining hall, they still had more and were lettered A - J. The one Alex and Jake were in was 'Dining Hall C'
The dining hall lettered A - J was for only students at the entry realm and condensation realm. Other cultivation stages like earth realm and skylord realm had their own dining halls.
When people gathered in the hall. Many boys sat around the table Alex sat and begun to look at him in the eye. Same with others who sat at other tables.
Jake was spared these looks but he was sad. It was like he was air to them, like a ghost. He could almost burst into tears as he wasn't spared a single gaze, even if it was a wicked or evil one. Alex was the only superstar here.
At this moment, the instructors in the school were using their various, powerful cultivation senses to 'see' what was happening in dining hall C that Alex was in. They were also impressed by his handsomeness but only for a second.
While they all gazed at Alex, the dining hall became deathly silent. It was like they were having indefinite silence for a very famous person that had died.
Alex became uncomfortable. He looked at them, then he said. "Haven't you bastards seen enough? What's so special in my appearance that your eyes could almost burst. Eh? Never seen a pretty boy before? You jealous? Want it?" he began to ask many questions just to force them to take their eyes off him.
His intentional infuriating questions grated their nerves and their eyes sparked in annoyance.
"What did you just say? Who is jealous of the stupid you? I can't wait to see John rip that face off your head. I don't know what instructor Jennifer saw in you that she brought you here. Perhaps it was just your looks that impressed her and made her bring you over" someone said annoyingly.
Alex shook his head and with a wide smile plastered on his face. He knew although they were jealous of his greatly astounding appearance but he knew what was paining them was because instructor Jennifer ignored all them and brought him.
It seemed they were all bunch of useless idiots. They knew this was true as none of them could face John the ferocious as he was titled because of his mind-blowing performance in the competition. But they couldn't accept or admit this truth.
And they were jealous because of other facts which were he now had a good connection to instructor Jennifer, all his expenses would be paid for, which Alex believed they would have gotten a hang of, he had a layer of protection as she would always stand guard for him when bad times come and he would get to see and talk to the most beautiful female instructor in the academy. All these facts made their head spin in annoyance.
Does he think it would last? When John is through with him, he would become a nothing, a nonentity. That terrific handsome face of his would vanish forever. They thought of this and laughed wickedly in their minds while some inwardly gloated at his misfortune.
Their sinister thoughts didn't appear on their faces. But Alex could feel it, he was able to detect their emotions and this amazed him.
Alex was able to perceive the unseen emotional energies emitting from these students. These were energies emanated by the heart, he didn't know so but this had opened a new door for him. Apart from gradually discovering the vastly numerous abilities of his divinely body, this ability would prove to be very useful in future.
This gladdened him very much. It was left to him to discover how to turn it on and off. But he didn't know he could do much more with this singular ability.
As they sat there waiting for their meal and hoping the date for the battle would come faster. A tall boy suddenly stood up. "Bastard, I challenge you to a duel" he said confidently and haughtily.
