Chapter 66: Barbecue

"Wow…" Alex said when he saw how attractive Anna was.

Anna was wearing a very exotic bathing suit. Despite having long sleeves that went to her wrist, when the fabric reached her shoulder this ended and it began to go down the side of her body in a "V" shape until it closed just above the groin. At that point it formed into shorts that only covered the top of her thighs.

Alex looked at those long white legs and was delighted. Not just the legs, seeing her belly sticking out, and the breasts that were only covered by a simple bikini top was enough to make Alex's mind imagine many things.

When Anna saw that Alex was looking at her that way, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, since that's why she borrowed this swimsuit from Jean.

But after a second of happiness she got a little shy and looked down.

Unfortunately, when she looked down, Anna saw that Alex's shirt was half open, which let her see his defined chest and a bit of muscle in his abdomen, which made her mind work even faster, trying to imagine what the rest of it was covered like.

'Is he that strong?' Anna wondered mentally in shock.

Alex didn't have such defined muscles, but for so long practicing [Elven Breath] his body underwent great changes. Not only were his muscles sharper, his hair was silkier, his skin was smoother, and his facial features were more delicate, further enhancing his appearance compared to how he originally looked.

"Coff…" Kurt coughed a little awkwardly to interrupt these two, who stared at each other for 2 minutes without saying anything.

Hearing Kurt's cough, Alex and Anna woke up from their stupor and both became shy.

Luckily Alex had thicker skin and after breathing for two seconds he reverted to a smile showing his teeth like his fangs and greeted Kurt. "Wsup Kurt! How are you doing?"

Kurt was happy that Alex was able to act normally again and smiled. "Hey Alex! How was the road here?" He asked as he looked at Bee.

"This time it was quiet, I came a little slower." Alex replied as he opened Bee's trunk to get some premium meat he bought from Shokugeki No Souma for 15 GP.

"Slow? I can't believe you managed to drive the Bee slowly…" Scott who just arrived said incredulously.

Alex looked at him and smiled even wider. "Yes Scott, I only came at 200 mph."

Scott and Kurt were shocked as they exchanged glances.

While 200 mph was the maximum speed Scott's Corvette could reach, Alex considered that speed to be slow while driving Bee?!

Hearing this, Scott's and Kurt's heart quickened as they stared at Bee even more intently.

Seeing that Alex was walking away, Scott couldn't take it anymore and shouted in a slightly uncertain voice. "Alex… can I… take the Bee for a ride? I'll let you drive Scarlet."

Alex turned and saw Scott's expression, which looked like a puppy asking for something from its owner.

But instead of answering directly, Alex took the yellow cell phone out of his pocket and turned to Bee to ask. "Bee, what do you think?"

Scott and Kurt were quite confused by Alex's reaction, but suddenly they heard a bang coming from Bee's exhaust and saw the two doors opening, practically inviting them to enter, leaving both shocked.

"I think Bee already answered you, right? The keys are in there, no need to look." Alex responded with a smile as he turned to Anna after putting the yellow cell phone in his pocket, calling her to go with him since the two were going out with Bee.

Alex did this to make it clear that he was the one who controlled Bee's doors and engine with an app on his cell phone. If Bee refused, he just pretended that he was jealous of the car, but as Bee accepted, there was no problem.

Apparently Bee was a little bored and didn't feel like he got enough sightseeing, so he agreed to go for a walk with Scott and Kurt who were Alex's friends.

Despite Bee "being his car", Alex already considered Bee as a friend, so he wouldn't make Bee do anything he didn't want to.

"I'll introduce you to the people." Anna responded to Alex's look, but didn't have the courage to look him in the eye, still a little embarrassed.

"These are…" Anna started introducing the students who were at the pool and walked with Alex towards the barbecue, where the older X-Men were.

"You already know Jean and Kitty, this is Miss Ororo, Mister Logan and Professor Xavier, and those over there in the corner are Bobby and Evan." Anna introduced each one, whom Alex greeted with a polite smile.

Although because his smile was so different with those teeth looking like a small animal, several people were curious about it and smiled back at Alex.

Jean and Kitty waved and greeted Alex back excitedly, Miss Ororo was very polite to Alex like a caring mother, Logan just grunted and went back to preparing the barbecue, Professor Xavier smiled at Alex as polite as Ororo, while Bobby looked at Alex with an ugly expression and Evan smiled and waved at Alex, making Bobby even angrier.

Alex smiled at Bobby, but seeing his reaction, Alex chose to just ignore Bobby and went to Logan to deliver the meat he brought.

"Mr. Logan, I bought this meat from a special place on the recommendation of a cooking friend." Alex handed the meat to Logan, who raised an eyebrow as he looked at the package Alex handed over.

Without much ceremony, Alex watched as Logan ripped open the wrapper and smelled raw meat.

Logan was apparently taken aback by the smell of meat and sniffed again to be sure.

"Your friend recommended well, boy." Logan said as he took out some meats that were roasting and put in the meat that Alex brought, as if those meats weren't even worth delaying the preparation of the meat that Alex brought.

Alex just laughed at that as he understood that this meat came from the Mito Family, the biggest meat supplier in the anime, with the highest degree of quality one could expect from a piece like this, compared to that, the other meats were just trash.

After handing the meat to Logan, Alex walked over to Anna, who was walking towards him with two glasses in her hands.

"This is yours." Anna said as she extended a hand towards Alex.

Alex also smiled and reached out to take the glass from Anna's hand.

She was holding the glass right at the edge, to prevent her and Alex's fingers from accidentally brushing against each other.

When Alex noticed this, he purposely avoided her fingers and safely picked up the glass. Although he had confidence in his Occlumency, it was best that he left it to do it when they were alone, as it would be too flashy to do it in the middle of so many people.

"Hmm, this is delicious." Alex was surprised by the taste of this drink and praised it.

Evan who came close to him with Bobby said with pride. "This was made by my aunt Ororo."

"She's very talented." Alex praised again with a smile for Evan, who looked very friendly.

Unfortunately that couldn't be said for Bobby standing next to Evan, who had a dark expression after seeing Anna bring Alex's drink.

While Alex was talking with Anna and Evan, Jean and Professor Xavier were talking while looking at Alex in amazement.
