Chapter 163 Jopay's Potential
With all the eyes of the Raven Family gathered on her, Jopay lowered her head in embarrassment.
For a while, no one said anything and just looked at Jopay, scrutinizing her.
The first to break the silence is Rosa, who's also the one that brought Jopay here a few days ago.
She faced her father and brothers with a smile.
"So, just like I told you, she was amazing, right?"
Jonathan reacted first and nodded, "That's right. Jopay is indeed someone who has a lot of potential in the Alter Dimension."
Jonathan's words received the immediate agreement of the other two in the room, Rolando and Glen.
"Dad's right. Actually, when you first came home with her, telling us that she is someone that we should put importance on just like Alex, I didn't believe you." Rolando said.
Glen nodded in agreement, "Me too. After all, Alex is already such a monster in my eyes. Just thinking that there's someone who can match his importance for us is crazy!"
Hearing the praises for Jopay coming here and there, Rosa can't help but feel proud.
As for Jopay, she started fidgeting more after listening to the good words of the others regarding her.
It seems like she's really uncomfortable being the focus of other's attention.
Rosa noticed that and grabbed Jopay's hand.
Jopay raised her head and looked at Rosa.
She saw that Rosa was looking at her with eyes that seemed to say 'Don't worry, relax.', assuring her.
After a few seconds, Jopay nodded at Rosa and took a deep breath.
Then the next moment, the timid aura surrounding Jopay diminished greatly.
Jonathan, Rolando, and Glen are not unaware of this short interaction between the two girls.
When they saw that Jopay has a little bit more confidence in her now compared to before, the three men nodded.
The next moment, Jonathan opened his mouth and said something that surprised his sons and daughter!
Crossing his arms, Jonathan's face looked solemn and he said, "Alright, I have finally made a decision."
Rolando, Glen, Rosa, and even Jopay, all looked at the old man, wondering what he's about to say.
Then, Jonathan dropped a bomb, "Starting today, Jopay will become the main target of nurturing for our family."
"We will give her our full support using the connections and resources that we have in our family to help her traverse the dangerous path of an Alter Dimension player."
The words spoken by Jonathan were like thunder to the ears of his three children.
They all looked at him with stunned faces, unable to say anything.
On the other hand, Jopay also seems shocked but not as much as the other three.
This is because Jopay still hasn't realized the weight of Jonathan's words unlike Rolando, Glen, and Rosa.
But it won't take long before Jopay realized just what great blessing has befallen onto her.

Sitting on his sofa with a sloppy posture, Alex started to feel bored with just watching TV the whole day.
Alex sighed with boredom on his face,
Shrugging, Alex replied, "More or less. Also, I'm still thinking whether everyone already forgot about the video from last time or not."
"It would be such a hassle if people started annoying me with questions about it just because I was the 'main character' in that video."
Kris paused for a moment before saying, "... Oh, that video... the class actually still watches it from time to time. I can see them from where I'm sitting, so..."
Kris stopped talking after saying that and just waited for Alex to say anything.
Alex also stopped what he's doing and fell into a daze for a few seconds.
Then he said, "... I guess I should stop going to school for a while, huh."
Hearing that, Kris hurriedly said, "No, no, no! Don't be like that. You should continue going to school. You want to finish your studies, right?"
"... Of course I want to. But with everything getting exposed like that, it feels annoying being the center of attention. I'm not some clown for them to watch." Alex said.
Kris turned silent at his words.
Not caring about that, Alex just continued doing some stretches to relax his stiff muscles.
After a few seconds, Kris' voice sounded again from the phone and said, "Then, what do you think of transferring school?"
"Transferring school? Where?" Alex asked, putting all his attention on the phone, waiting for Kris to reply.
The next moment, the cheerful voice of Kris sounded, "Let's transfer to Alter Academy!"
"Alter Academy?"
Alex repeated with a confused face.
"Oh, I guess you still don't know. The government is planning to open up an academy that specializes in teaching stuff related to Alter Dimension."
Alex raised an eyebrow and muttered, "There's something like that?"
"Yeah, the government, along with the powerhouses that started Alter Dimension early, has decided to open the academy and only those that pass the screening will become students of it."
"But even though it is an academy that will focus on Alter Dimension, other programs will still be available just like a normal university."
"That's to say, you can study whatever course you want and earn the degree that you want to get."
Alex nodded in understanding.
"So, that's to say, it will be just like any other university and the only thing that is different is that there are subjects that are about Alter Dimension."
"Yep, that's right!" Kris said.
Then Alex asked, "When is this academy going to open?"
Kris suddenly became quiet again before replying in a low voice.
"Its... going to open in about a month from now based on what I heard from dad."
"Is that so? Then, I guess we can't transfer now, huh."
Kris didn't say anything more.
Shaking his head, Alex said, "Forget it, it doesn't really matter. I guess I'll just attend class and ignore everyone."
Hearing that, Kris became cheery again.
"Really?! That's good! Then, don't forget to come to school tomorrow."
"Yeah, yeah, whatever."
Alex and Kris chatted for a bit more before they hung up the call.
