Chapter 19: Changes

-No, I can't believe there is a window actually in front of my eyes.

Alexander looked very strangely, at the status window in front of his eyes, he never thought to imagine something like this before.

[The status window is only seen by the user].

(Good, this is good or I would have been scared of someone discovering it, so now I don't have to turn on my phone to use the system right, this is great if that's the case).

Alexander, showed a great expression of happiness, after all, the fact that he has to take out his phone every time he wants to see his system is worrying, although the system and the window in front of his eyes were linked.

[The window is currently only at level 1, the user will not be able to use items with the window, at this level he will only be able to see information about missions and combat upgrades]

(Shit I knew he was really good, looks like I should level him up a bit and at the same time, what is this combat upgrade? Let me investigate)

[Combat Enhancement]

[Combat upgrade is a function of the window, when you enter the combat level with an enemy you can see his threat level and the amount of health points he has, in case your enemy is a boss or is much higher than the user, this function will not work].

The information was reflected in the user's window, so Alexander read it in detail until he understood it completely.

-Okay, I see, this will be useful to know if I should fight or no, it will also be important to know how much I have left to defeat the enemy.

-King System.

Alexander with those words decided to close the system window, although there were still things he had not seen, he wanted to rest.

(Today was a very annoying day, I must be aware tomorrow in case Marcus tries to take revenge, after all I only beat him for the objects).

Although it was a bit annoying to admit, Alexander knew more than anyone that this victory was due to the three objects he used, especially the last one.

-For now let's sleep.

He falls asleep instantly, thanks to the "fast recovery" ability he was able to repair most of the damage acquired in the fight, if it wasn't for this ability he would have the same damage as Richard.

Loud sounds ring in Alexander's room, it was his alarm to start his idea.

-Okay, let's do this.

Alexander climbs up, full of courage, and begins to work on his daily mission.

After a few minutes, he simply finishes his daily mission and decides to open the "window" to see the rewards.

[Daily mission] 

[Completed]

[Reward obtained]

[35 experience points, 10 equipment points].

The windows delivered the information individually unlike the app, which looked more like a normal app, although it was given by the system.

-Wow, this team points thing is something I've never seen before, is it something to do with the team mechanics?

Puzzled by the new reward he had just received, Alexander decides to look up the information about such "team points."

[Team points]

[What is a king without a group capable of supporting him, so the king must also support his team. By using the team points you will be able to increase the stats of your team, team points can only be used on characters which have the ability to improve]

[Amount of user points: 10] 

After confirming the information given by the system, Alexander, remains thoughtful about the situation, it was quite clear that he would have to make a team, but it seems that it will be quite fast.

(I still don't get any missions after beating Marcus, it's great to get a break, but now I want to get stronger).

-sigh, okay, okay, we better do something else while I wait for breakfast.

Thanks to the "quick recovery" ability Alexander no longer has to escape home early so his mother doesn't see him hurt.

-Hey, do you think that boy is going to hit you today? -Alexander's mother while drinking her coffee asked her son this question, she was worried about her son getting into another fight with Marcus.

-I don't really… I don't know, but due to the intervention of the high school's top brass, it's possible that Marcus will control himself a bit.

-Even though I'm worried, I'm going to trust you, remember, no matter who gets in your way, show that you are strong. -Giving her son some pride, Alexander's mother watches as her son walks off back to high school.

-Hey, isn't that him?

-Yes, it's definitely him, I heard his name is Alexander.

Alexander arrives at the high school and the first thing he hears in the hallways is the others talking about him, it seems the rumors that he had defeated Marcus in a one on one had spread throughout the high school.

-Did he really beat him one on one, he didn't use any dirty tricks or anything?

-No friend, I saw the fight, that Alexander guy looks like a weakling, but he is very strong.

Hearing the opinions of the people in the hallway Alexander couldn't help but show a proud smile, it was the first time in his two lives that he received such a treatment.

(People are speaking well of me just by looking at me, this is great, heh heh heh heh).

Looking as if he was going to explode with joy, Alexander enters his classroom, which instantly turned its attention to him.

(My, my, if this is how I feel just for defeating a fool of this high school, I can't imagine when I'm a real king.)

Thinking about his great future, Alexander decides to sit in his seat, which had no companion to chat with because Richard is recovering.

(Fuck Richard, if only you were here you would feel like me I hope you recover soon).

Giving his best wishes to his friend, Alexander relaxes in his chair while looking at his phone, but when he was more comfortable someone comes through the door.

-It's him…

-I thought he was going to be expelled.

Just like before, all attention was drawn to the person who just walked through the door, but the feeling was different, this time there was a weight in the whole atmosphere.

(Wow, looks like he's finally arrived).

Marcus had just entered the classroom with droopy eyes and a heavy expression that could be seen as depressed. He also noticed the bandages from yesterday's fight.

(I must be ready for any action) -Alexander becomes alert, as it was not clear what would be Marcus' next move, maybe he could go for him.

-Good day. -But to everyone's surprise, Marcus only said these words and then sat in his seat, which like Alexander was alone, but this one was since everyone abandoned him.

-Well, that's that king, what happened to him?

-Didn't you hear?, apparently Marcus was going to be expelled, but thanks to his sporting achievements he was given one last chance.

-Hahaha, now he looks like an abandoned dog, I also heard that he has been banned from playing for 3 months.

-Hahaha, for a fool like him not to play a sport you must be his fall to the poso.

The whispers and echoes didn't take long to appear, the power that Marcus had was gone, all his minions that were next to him out of interest have disappeared leaving him alone.

Marcus, who heard everything, was filled with rage, but decided to lower his head so as not to look at anyone, he more than anyone else knew that he could not spoil this opportunity.

(That's what happens if you form friendships out of fear, nobody wants to hang out with someone like him now).

Alexander with a slight smile at what was happening to Marcus and looked at the scene.

-Hey Marcus, lift your head up, here.

But apparently one person was still with Marcus, even in his hardest moments.

-Come on, just look at me, pick it up.

That person was Eva Smith, who regardless of her situation was still giving love to Marcus, you could tell she was really in love.

-Go away, I don't want anything.

But on the other hand, Marcus, without raising his head, tried to push Eva away, who didn't seem very comfortable with his answer.

-Hey, you should be more sensitive sometimes. I'll leave it here. -Without turning back, Eva leaves the food she prepared for Marcus and decides to go to her seat.

-Hey Eva, what's wrong with you? Can't you see who he is?

-Shut up, I'm a Smith, I do whatever I want.

After that exchange of words, the teacher arrived, so everyone took classes until break.

-Fuck, how annoying it is to study when Richard is not here. -Giving his fullest regrets, Alexander lies down on the table.

-bonjour mon ami, bonjour mon ami.

But Alexander's slight respite is interrupted by someone entering the classroom speaking French.

(French? Is this it?)

-Where is he, my favorite little friend?

The speaker was none other than the third king of this high school, Felix Tyson and known to be Marcus' rival.

-Ha, ha, ha, ha, but here he is my friend, how are you Marcus?

Felix enters the classroom and the first thing he does is to mock Marcus with a smile, because Marcus had already been defeated, Felix is taking advantage.

-What the hell do you want Felix? -Marcus, for his part, doesn't seem very happy with Felix's presence.

(Unlike Marcus, Felix was never a bully, but he is a person who would do anything to accomplish his goal).

-Hey, hey, don't greet me like that, I came to see how you were doing, I heard you got trashed yesterday.

Felix, unlike his words, spoke to Marcus with a mischievous smile on his face and a mocking tone of voice.

(I think I know what's going on here)

Alexander observed the situation from a distance realizing something.

-Come on Felix, leave me alone, I'm not in the mood.

Marcus who was starting to get angry, looked at Felix with anger in his eyes.

(I'm sure this is Felix's plan to get Marcus to fight him, and it's starting to work for him).

Felix's plan made sense. Even though Marcus and he are rivals, the trainers prefer Marcus more than Felix, but this could change if Marcus gets kicked out and this one has no competition.

-What's wrong, did I hurt your pride, ah, that's right, you don't have pride anymore, they destroyed it.

Felix makes a bad joke to Marcus, who was obviously holding his anger so as not to hit him.
