Alex headed to inform his disciples in the formation circle course about his departure. He then met up
with Holly, who was in the battle course, and informed her as wellâ¦
However, he didnât manage to find Yuno. She didnât have a phone at the time as well. Hence, he told
Holly to inform her on his behalf when they bumped into each other. After that, he walked out of the
large gates.
âAlex Rockefeller!â
Just as he reached the gates, someone called out to him. Upon turning around, he saw a man in his
thirties. He had long hair that flowed freely in the breeze as if he was Dragon Shiryu from Saint Seiya.
His hair was so silky that it would be a waste of potential if he wasnât the spokesperson for âHead &
Shouldersâ. Besides his hair, he looked quite dashing as well. Alex himself rated the man as an eight
out of ten.
âAre you calling me?â Alex looked at him. He didnât know who this man was.
The man gestured to him, sending a ray of light towards Alex.
Alexâs eyes lit up. He could tell that the man had thrown a card towards him.
After catching the card, he decided to take a look. âThe vice president of The Flames?â
âHubert Fischer?â
Hubert said, âMhm, thatâs right. I am the Hubert Fischer. I think youâre pretty powerful, so follow me!â
âFollow you?â Alex froze. âWhere to?â
âWeâre going to The Flames clubroom, of course.â
âFor what, though? â Alex was even more confused.
Hubert replied, âYou still donâ t understand? Newbies really are newbies, huh? What I mean is, youâve
been chosen by our club, and Iâm here to recruit you. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity, so just
come along with me. After we get through with the welcoming ceremony, youâll be part of the club from
now on.â
Alex had heard of clubs in Flying Eagles Academy. However, these clubs were not extracurricular clubs
like in regular universities.
These clubs had been formed to do missions and enter secret realms together, helping out one another
throughout the process, and become stronger as a whole.
It was equivalent to guilds in some games.
Flying eagles Academy had over a hundred clubs like this.
Alex, however, was not interested in any of them. He shook his head. âI donât want to join any clubs.â
Hubert was shocked. âDid you not hear me? I said that Iâm the vice president of The Flames. I came
here personally just to recruit you, yet you reject our offer? Do you know what youâre doing?â
âI know.â
Hubert shook his head. âNo, you donât! You donât even know what youâre turning down. Listen up, Iâll
give you a more detailed introduction. There are 173 guilds and clubs in this academy, and The Flames
is ranked third! All of our members are the best of the best, we filter out the weak and choose only the
strong. Do you even know how many people long to be in our club, yet fail to meet our requirements?
You should be honored that we want to recruit you, and you should have accepted our offer without
hesitation! In fact, you shouldâve been extremely grateful that I personally came here to fetch you. Yet,
here you are, absolutely oblivious to this chance youâre given?â
Alex frowned and said coldly, âAre you done talking? If you are, then step aside. Iâm not interested in
your club.â
Hubertâs expression darkened. âOh, you punk! You asked for it!â
Smack!
Without a word, Alex slapped the man across his face.
Hubert didnât expect Alex to be so bold as to slap him out of nowhere, hence he didnât prepare to
defend at all. The slap caused one of his cheeks to swell up.
âYou⦠How dare you attack me?â Hubert looked at him in disbelief.
âDo you expect me to treat you to breakfast or something? Iâll count to three. If you still refuse to leave,
you wonât be able to do so after this!â
âF*ck!â Hubert screamed in rage, immediately lunging towards Alex, preparing for an attack.
Smack!
Another slap landed on his face again.
This time, Hubert was slapped so hard that he spun in place and fell to the ground as if something out
of a cartoon comedy.
There were currently hundreds of students gathered at the gate. Seeing this, all of them froze up.
Hubert Fischer, the vice president of The Flames, a genius that ranked nine in the battle force, wasnât
even able to defend himself. He was slapped away as if he was just an average person.
âWho was that man who slapped him?
