Chapter 57: Alex in trouble? (Thanks Chex_Geam!)
Alex leaned in.
Kissed her.
Raven froze.
Eyes wide. Face red. Gaze unfocused.
Her hands limp at her sides.
Not far away—
Bob and Luna shot up.
Standing.
Staring.
"OH MY GOD!"
Luna screamed.
Bob’s jaw dropped.
Seeds spilling from his hand.
Alex pulled back.
Raven’s eyes opened.
Blinked.
Realization hit.
She covered her mouth.
Eyes huge.
Pointed at Alex.
"W-what did you—"
"What did I do?"
Alex grinned.
"Claiming what’s mine."
He leaned back.
"I’m the guy who got Raven’s first kiss."
Raven’s face went redder.
"You—!"
She swung at him.
Slapped his shoulder.
Again.
"Bastard!"
Alex grabbed her.
Pulled her into his arms.
Raven’s hits weakened.
Barely tapping now.
He tilted her chin up again.
Kissed her.
Again.
Luna screamed louder.
"HE’S SO GOOD!"
She grabbed Bob’s arm.
"HOW IS HE SO SMOOTH?!"
Pointed at Raven.
"She’s not even fighting back!"
Bob stared.
Mouth still open.
"How... how does he DO that?"
Mumbled.
"What’s his secret?"
Alex finally pulled away.
Raven breathing hard.
Lips slightly parted.
He smiled.
"So what time’s the strip show tonight?"
Raven’s eyes snapped into focus.
SMACK.
Palm across his face.
Then she pinched his side.
Hard.
Twisted.
"AHHH!"
Alex yelped.
Jumped back.
"OW OW OW!"
Raven glared at him.
Face still red.
[30 Minutes Later]
The four of them walked out of the training room.
Crowd outside.
Massive.
Students everywhere.
Alex scanned the faces.
Familiar ones.
Class 9. Class 10.
The less wealthy kids.
"ALEX!"
Someone shouted.
"You’re a legend!"
"Standing up to those rich assholes!"
"Student Hero!"
"You gave us hope, man!"
"Don’t back down!"
"We’re with you!"
Alex grinned.
Waved at them.
Felt it again.
That warmth.
[Believers: 286]
20 more believers!
"Who wants an autograph?"
A girl rushed forward.
Cute. Shy smile.
"Me! Me!"
Alex signed her notebook.
Another girl.
Huge boobs.
"Here too!"
Alex’s eyes lit up.
Signed her shirt.
Then another girl turned around.
Bent over.
"Sign my butt!"
Alex’s face went red.
Eyes sparkling.
"HELL YEAH—"
Raven grabbed his ear.
Pulled.
Hard.
"OW OW OW!"
She dragged him away.
Behind them—
The crowd erupted.
"WAIT—"
"IS THAT RAVEN?!"
"The Ice Queen?!"
"They came out of the SAME ROOM!"
"No way..."
"Are they actually dating?!"
"I thought it was just a rumor!"
"S+ genius and an F-tier slime?!"
"How does that even work?!"
"Did you see her pull his ear?!"
"She’s SMILING!"
"Raven doesn’t smile!"
"Oh my god, it’s real!"
"This is insane!"
Luna and Bob exchanged looks.
Then followed.
Bob whispered.
"Bro’s living the dream."
Luna elbowed him.
"Maybe you’ll get there someday."
Bob’s face went red.
"Will i?"
....
They pushed through the crowd.
Raven stopped.
Turned to Alex.
Eyes narrowed.
Poked his chest.
Hard.
"You’re on a date with ME."
Poked again.
"A gorgeous girl!"
"Why aren’t you satisfied?!"
Alex shrugged.
"Can’t help it."
"But you’re definitely one of my main harem members!"
Raven’s eyes went wide.
"ONE OF?!"
She grabbed his collar.
"There’s OTHERS?!"
Bob’s head snapped up.
"OH SHIT!"
He pointed at Alex.
"I remember now!"
"This morning!"
"He had that post-nut glow!"
Alex’s face went pale.
"Bob—"
"He told me he made progress with his goddess!"
Bob kept going.
"A hot MILF!"
"Mature. Sexy. The works!"
Alex grabbed his head.
"WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT?!"
Luna’s jaw dropped.
"Wait."
She looked at Raven.
Then at Alex.
"You like MILFs?"
Pointed at Raven.
"But she’s not mature-style at all!"
Pause.
"Do you even LIKE Raven?"
Alex waved his hands.
"NO NO NO!"
Stepped back.
"I like ALL types!"
"Cute girls! Mature women! Tsunderes! Yanderes!"
Pointed at himself.
"Equal opportunity!"
Looked at Raven.
Smiled with eight white teeth.
"Feel better now?"
Raven’s eye twitched.
"FEEL BETTER?!"
She lunged.
"YOU SCUMBAG!"
Chased after him.
Alex ran.
"Wait! Let me explain!"
"COME BACK HERE!"
Luna pumped her fist.
"GO RAVEN!"
"BEAT HIS ASS!"
Bob pulled out his phone.
Started recording.
Grinning.
"Already got the title."
"Ice Queen Chases Down Trash-Tier boy!"
Hit record.
They kept messing around.
Running. Laughing.
Then—
BUMP.
Alex crashed into someone.
Stumbled back.
Looked up.
The Principal.
Face dark.
Eyes cold.
"Alex."
His voice flat.
"You’re in deep shit."
Alex blinked.
"What?"
Grinned.
"Am I getting early university admission?"
The Principal’s brow furrowed.
His wig fluttered.
He sighed.
Long and heavy.
Then—
好的,我在警察出现那段加内容:
Then—
Footsteps.
Heavy. Synchronized.
The crowd murmured.
"What’s that sound?"
"Who’s coming?"
The crowd parted.
Black uniforms.
A dozen men.
Big. Muscular.
Faces hard.
Someone gasped.
"Security Bureau officers!"
"Holy shit—"
"What are they doing here?!"
"Did someone commit a crime?"
"Has to be that Alex guy, right?"
"He did beat up Ethan pretty bad..."
"But the Security Bureau? That’s insane!"
"Those are the guys who handle beast tamers gone rogue!"
"They’re not regular cops!"
Alex’s eyes narrowed.
Watched them approach.
Security Bureau.
Rex’s family has connections there.
Fast response.
Faster than I thought.
He exhaled.
But I knew this was coming.
The leader stepped forward.
Grabbed Alex’s wrist.
Twisted it behind his back.
CLICK.
Handcuffs.
"You’ve got guts."
His voice rough.
"Assaulting students on campus."
He yanked Alex’s arm.
"Rich kids. Future elites."
Pulled him forward.
"You’re done."
Alex’s eyes narrowed.
Scanned the crowd.
Then he saw him.
Rex.
Standing at the back.
Arms crossed.
Staring.
Eyes vicious.
Bob rushed forward.
"HEY—"
Luna grabbed the officer’s arm.
"Wait!"
The Principal stepped between them.
"STOP."
His voice sharp.
"Don’t assault police officers!"
He looked at Bob and Luna.
"Alex knew this might happen."
Pause.
"If you want to help, get adults involved."
He turned to Raven.
Nodded.
Raven’s fists clenched.
She stomped her foot.
Then ran.
Disappeared into the crowd.
Bob and Luna stood frozen.
Watching Alex get dragged away.
Alex turned back.
Looked at Bob and Luna.
Nodded.
Mouthed the words.
"I will be fine."
Then got yanked forward.
Dragged toward the exit.
Rex stepped out from the crowd.
Ethan’s friends beside him.
The ones not too injured.
Smirking.
"Will be fine?"
One of them laughed.
"YOU’RE DEAD!"
Another pointed.
"Enjoy prison, loser!"
Alex rolled his eyes.
Scoffed.
Didn’t even look at them.
The officers shoved him into a flying car.
Door slammed shut.
Engine hummed.
Lifted off.
Headed toward the city center.
The Principal watched the car disappear.
His hand reached into his pocket.
Pulled out his phone.
