Alexander Bluerose walked away from the cafeteria alone after that man showed up. He gritted his teeth in frustration as he wiped the sweat on his forehead.
'What was that?'
He couldn't understand what had happened. His body suddenly started shivering, and cold sweat poured out from his body. It was like he was in the face of a large monster who could eat him whole and leave his body decomposing slowly inside its stomach.
'That was… scary. What the hell was that?!'
Walking toward the desolate garden, he sat under the pavilion where no one was there. He didn't want the others to see his pitiful state right now. He even told his lackeys to leave him alone.
The weak had no right to look up at the strong. But the strong had the right to look down on the weak. Currently, Alexander was weaker than that scum—the one whose origin was lower than even a commoner.
"That fucking orphan!" He gritted his teeth and clenched his fist tightly.
As the heir of Duke Bluerose, he couldn't accept it. Accepting it meant that he regarded himself and the duchy's position were lower than that scum.
"Paladin his ass. He becomes higher than a Duke just because of a shitty position?! What kind of stuff works like that?! And…"
Alexander didn't want to admit it. He wanted to deny it.
"That bastard is hanging around her. Fuck! I have always tried to get close to her because she's pretty and fit to be my bride. But because of that scum! That scum ruined everything!" He shouted at the top of his lungs and kicked the bench in front of him.
Crash!
The bench got destroyed. Unlike the others, he was someone from Class 1. Everyone in that class was at least Level 10 or higher, having been tagging along to hunt monsters with the knights of their noble houses.
Alexander was no exception. He was already Level 13 and was confident that he was the strongest in this Academy, just under the Princess and teachers.
"I don't want to admit his presence. That scum… I can become a Paladin if I take the test! I am certain that I am stronger than him!"
If a person his age could do it, then he surely could too. That was what was in Alexander's mind at that time. And something within the shadow answered him with a sweet and alluring voice.
"I can grant your wish if you ever want to."
"Who's there?!" Alexander threw his head to the side toward the source of the voice.
When he looked around, no one was there, only thin air. He began to think that his imagination began to fool him and became angrier.
"Now I am imagining things."
The last thing he wanted right now was for his mind to be plagued by trauma and become crazy. But then, he saw something unbelievable.
In front of him, a person was slowly descending from the sky. His jaw dropped as he saw her figure.
A perfect body with no blemishes. An erotic outfit that only covered her private part. Her purple hair, which was tied in a high ponytail, fluttered as she landed on the ground. Then her long eyelashes fluttered open, revealing a pair of amethyst eyes.
"Fufufu." She let out a playful giggle as she covered her small lips with her hand, bending forward and making her big tits jiggle.
Even the son of Duke Bluerose blushed at that sight. The woman that suddenly appeared before him was beautiful – even the top seducer his father often invited to the house looked like an ugly duckling.
"I heard what you said. Do you want to become a Paladin? I can turn you into one."
The words from the woman repeated in his mind as he froze in place. The way she spoke was too tempting. And the fact that she descended from the sky meant she had been flying before he saw her.
That meant the woman that stood before him had at least Lv 6 <Wind Magic> to fly. So her words were believable.
"Are you interested?" She licked her lips in a sexy manner. Her amethyst eyes flashed a strange glint, and Alexander nodded as if he was captivated by her.
"Yes." He replied. "I want more power."
"Great!" The woman approached Alexander while swaying her hips. She went behind him, caressing his cheek sensually, pressing her breasts against his arms.
"You want revenge, no? You want power. If you say yes, I will give you power. Power to get Sins two times faster. I can also help you dominate any girls you want."
"Dominate…" Alexander muttered absentmindedly. His eyes turned blank, lost focus as he was looking at the distance, and he nodded. "Yes. I want to dominate Eliza."
"Just that?" The woman asked once more. "Nothing more?" Her lips got closer to his ear.
Alexander twitched as he felt a hot breath tickling his ear, but he only focused on her words.
"That scum…"
"What about that scum?"
"I want to destroy that scum!" Alexander bellowed. "I want to make him kneel in front of me! Ask for my forgiveness!"
"That's it." The woman smiled evilly as she backed away, spinning her body and then stopping in front of Alexander. "My name is Beatrice. And from now on, I will help you, my second toy~."
Beatrice put her hand on Alexander's head, and thin strands of purple Mana resulted from her injecting her MP to activate her skill covering the boy's head.
"Ahh… Arrghh!" Alexander groaned in pain but felt a power surging through his body. He felt… powerful. The process lasted for only a minute, and his body changed considerably. He heard a notification inside his head.
[You have leveled up! You have reached Level 14!]
[You have leveled up! You have reached Level 15!]
[You have leveled up! You have reached…]
[You have leveled up! You have reached Level 20!]
It kept repeating until it finally stopped at Level 20. Only then did it stop, and the strands that covered his head retracted to Beatrice's hands.
"That's it. Great boy." Beatrice praised in a soft voice as she patted his head with a sly smile. " Bring him to me, my second toy. Fulfill your desire."
She backed away from Alexander and disappeared into thin air. She used the magic she had used when she entered the café with Adam a few days ago, leaving an eerie giggle that was still lingering in Alexander's ears.
"My desire…" Alexander regained his footing. His breath turned rough, but it was normal when one leveled up at once.
Looking down at his arms and feeling his power increase, Alexander burst out in a burst of laughter.
"Hahahahaha! Toy?! I am not your toy!" He shouted loudly, clenching his fists.
"Just you see! I will beat that scum to show him his place! I will use this power to dominate Eliza, fucking her in front of him! Then lastly, that woman who called me her toy! I will also show her that I am no toy! I am Alexander Bluerose, the son of Andrew Bluerose!"
A peal of laughter kept echoing in the desolate garden at the corner of Virtue Royal Academy.
Losing control, Alexander didn't notice the figure of someone watching him from the shadow, covered by a black cape that looked straight from the abyss.
