Chapter 32: New Leader

-Fuck this fucker sure gave us trouble. -Marcus put his shirt back on while complaining.

-You don’t say… It was annoying to have to face someone who laughs like a maniac.

Alexander for his part, falls to the ground after claiming his victory.

[Skill: Experience runner calculating]

[You have leveled up]

[You have leveled up]

[You have leveled up]

(It feels great to see you level up three levels after such heavy combat, it was really a pain in the ass, but the reward was worth it)

[Reward obtained]

[Upgrade Chip , Combat Skill: Synergy, 20 stat points, 50 equipment points, Item: King’s Hood, Item: King’s Gloves].

Alexander saw the window in front of his eyes, the reward was pretty good for a simple instant mission.

-Fuck, this is annoying.

Felix who was coming to his senses, spoke with a worn out expression on his face.

-Did I really get defeated twice in one day? That doesn’t seem nice to me at all.

-Shut up you bastard, a few minutes ago you were laughing like a psycho. -Marcus hits Felix in the head while he was talking.

-Hey a second…

One of the people in the audience speaks nervously.

-Who of you is the boss now?

The young man still with nerves asked, after all for the public this fight was to define who would be the supreme king of the high school.

-I don’t want to be the boss of people like you. -Marcus, who looked angry because of the question, rejected the offer instantly.

-Forget it old man, I don’t want to get another beating. -Felix, who was lying on the floor, rejected the offer as well, he had enough with losing twice.

-Then the new king of the high school is….

-If it’s me, I hope to meet your expectations. -Alexander said these words while keeping a smile on his face, the audience also showed a smile for them, Alexander was a better leader than the bully Marcus and the braggart Felix.

-Ah, right, you’re the leader now, am I supposed to follow you? -Felix gets up from the ground even though he was obviously tired.

-I never go back on my word as a man, then.

Felix stretches out his fist in front of Alexander, he might be boastful and annoying, but he was always going to keep his promises.

-Treat me well or I’ll rebel against you.

-They really are the worst. -Alexander with a bright smile slams his fist into Felix.

[Congratulations]

[Felix Tyson has joined your team.]

After that show of loyalty everyone went home, for many today will be one of the best they will have in a long time, and for others the emergence of the new leader of the high school will bring peace to the place.

{SophiaB: Did you really win a fight against Felix?}

{SophiaB: But weirdest of all, did you really get Marcus to help you?}

(Why the hell is that so? I was expecting at least a congrats).

Alexander, who had just gotten out of the shower, was writing to Sophia, who hadn’t attended their fight.

{Alex55: Yes I made it, it was a little difficult, but you must keep your promise}

{SophiaB: You don’t have to tell me twice, I agree to be part of your team}

[Congratulations]

[Sophia Bromck is part of your team]

Wow… that was too easy and too hard at the same time.

[Mandatory Mission: Absolute Conquest.]

[Completed].

Alexander who couldn’t believe that things had been so easy shows a smile as he decides to see his new rewards.

[Rewards obtained]

[Upgrade Chip, Upgrade Chip, Item: King’s Bandage, Skill: Sharing, 20 equipment points, 20 stat points]

(The reward is not so bad either, although it’s a quest that needs a lot of steps, I’m not complaining, after all I got this reward…)

[Please update the system]

-Now I can update the system again.

Alexander with a smile decides to take out the update chips and place them on his bed.

-With the last update I stopped using the phone every time I wanted to use the system and started using the window, if I get another good update that would be great.

[Turn on the chips and cultivate until the smell goes away.]

Already knowing what to do, Alexander settled on his bed to update the system, the smell was just as warm as before, her scent was exquisite and made Alexander lose track of time.

[System updated]

After what seems like an hour, a notification sound makes Alexander open his eyes, the relaxing and exquisite smell was gone, indicating that the update was successful.

[Update completed]

[Equipment monitoring, Stats update, equipment skills, store, window update].

A window was presented to Alexander instantly, which he read very carefully, it seems to have new functions that he can play with.

-Let’s first look at the ones related to equipment.

[Equipment monitoring]-[A king always has to know even if his eyes are not present. You will be able to see the location, health and mana of all the members attached to your team.]

-I see, this will be useful in case we have to split up, so I can know everyone’s location, let’s see the other one.

[Team skills]-[A king is not the only one with ability his kingdom too. Now you will be able to get skills that will only be used on your team members, you will be able to choose who to give the skill to as long as the member in question is compatible with the skill].

[Bonus fact]-[Some skills need time to be learned by the member in question. Also remember that members can learn skills on their own]

Alexander was reading in detail everything the system was telling him, everything seems to indicate that now Marcus, Sophia and Felix could have their own skills, which could be useful in case of fights or other issues.

-This is a plus, with this my team will be invincible, let’s see the store.

[Kingdom store]

[Buy over here sales over there in the store the King you will find everything. You will be able to buy different items in the system store, for purchases in the store you will need special coins which you can get by completing missions, all the items you buy in the store will be transferred to your pet slime “Glutton”]

-Really? This is definitely the best reward of all, I can buy items like the healing candy or the white candy scarf, which they gave me to begin with.

Alexander decided to activate the store option, the status window turned green and different items appeared.

[Healing candies]-[Price: 30 imperial coins, 2 per day].

[Speed drinks]-[Price: 200 imperial coins, 1 per day].

[Defense drinks]-[Price: 200 imperial coins, 1 per day].

[White candy handkerchief]-[Price: 1000 imperial coins: 1 per month].

-Fucking hell the price is expensive, I don’t have a single coin to pay for anything.

As Alexander analyzed the store more, his face became more somber, the prices of the items were extremely expensive and he didn’t have any coins.

-Well, it will be shopping in the future when I have the coins, for now it’s time to sleep.

Alexander opts to sleep, finally ending such a heavy day, no doubt the mission was annoying, but the rewards are worth it.

-Well, there he goes.

-He defeated Felix?

-I hear Marcus is his subordinate.

The next day Alexander had arrived at the high school as usual, but the atmosphere was completely different, everyone had their eyes on him.

-Good morning, sir!

-What?

Alexander, who was starting to feel a bit better, is stopped by a boy in the hallway, who had his head bowed in respect.

-Who are you supposed to be? And what the hell are you doing?

Alexander, who was starting to feel uncomfortable, decided to ask the boy, who looked quite nervous.

-My name is Charles Lewis and I will be at your service, sir. -The young man introduced himself while raising his head.

[Congratulations]

(Wait, wait a second seriously…?)

[Charles Lewis has joined your team].

Alexander showed a puzzled expression as he saw the system notification, he didn’t invite the boy to join the team, but the system recognized him as a new member.

-I guess it’s ok… -Alexander doesn’t give it much thought and decides to leave the boy to go to his classroom, as he walked down the hallway several people called him sir and looked at him with respect.

-Good morning.

The moment he arrived at his classroom the treatment was no different, everyone looked at him with respect or with some astonishment.

(Wow, this is going to be a tough day) -Having accepted his fate, Alexander decides to attack the school day.

-Hey we should go.

-What?

The hard classes were over and Alexander was just thinking of heading home.

-I said we should go to the meeting.

But to eliminate his plans, in front of him was Sophia Bromck, who had another plan in mind.

-What meeting? -asked Alexander who did not understand what Sophia was saying.

-Since I am the second in command of the team, I gave myself the task of organizing a meeting with the team.

(Since when are you the second in command?) -Alexander was quite tired, he decided not to argue with Sophia and started to follow her down the corridor.

(I want to go home) -Alexander showed a chastened expression as he walked, he had studied too much today without Richard’s help.

-Sir!

But to give Alexander some encouragement one of the students approaches him.

-We have problems, sir, big problems.

-What do you mean? -Alexander, who did not understand the root of the problem, decides to ask.

-There’s someone out there who asked to fight the king of this place.

-What seriously? -This time the questioner is Sophia, who doesn’t believe her words.

-If he is out there, and he wants to fight against you.

-What’s his name? (Maybe it could be Takeda or the boss of the Black Foxes headquarters).

-I don’t know his name, but he calls himself Hero of Justice.

-Hero of justice?
