Claire looked so confident in what he was saying. He wanted everyone to know that he could look strong too. It made his seniors who came to his class feel proud and look forward to Claire's arrival later.
"Claire, are you sure you want to join their fight? I heard that other schools have strong and terrible Alpha groups," one of the students asked Claire.
"I'm sure, I can definitely beat them. Are you worried about me?" asked Claire happy that someone was worried about him.
"Of course I'm worried. Many of our school's Alphas have been beaten up by them!"
Gasp!
He flinched and then leans to Dior.
"That other school, which school?" asked Claire in a whisper to Dior.
"It's Gracelya High School, you've heard of it right?"
"Gracelya High School?!" asked Claire surprised when he heard the name of the school.
He had heard that the school was always looking for trouble with other schools. Many schools bowed down to the kids at Gracelya school because they were afraid of the Alphas there who were known to be very strong.
"Gracelya, huh?" muttered Fein who was listening to their conversation.
Claire tried to rethink his decision, but he had already said that he agreed with it. He couldn't go back on his words.
'I'm not alone, it shouldn't be so hard, right?' he thought.
"You haven't changed your mind, have you Claire?" asked Dior as he held the man close.
"Huh? Of course not. Why would I change my mind? I can definitely beat them, don't worry!"
The man smiled trying to cover his doubts. However, he believed that he was not as weak an Omega as they said. He was different, hence he wanted to prove it.
During the afternoon break, Claire went to the bathroom. As he was washing his hands at the sink, he noticed a man who had been standing nearby.
"Is it your residence in the bathroom now? Peeking at other men using the restroom?" asked Claire in a teasing tone towards the man.
"Heh, you must be joking. I heard you're going to go fight with another school. You think you can do it, huh?"
"That's none of your business, is it? Whether I do it or not. Stop taking care of what I do, grape hair," Claire replied.
"A weak Omega like you trying to look strong among the Alphas? Heh, it's only been a while since you've fallen," retorted the man who was none other than Fein.
Fein folded his hands together as he leaned against the wall looking down at Claire.
"Shut up! I told you it's none of your business. What I'm going to be like has nothing to do with you!" Claire walked away leaving Fein alone in the bathroom.
"It's none of my business. If he gets battered or dies later, what business is it of mine," Fein muttered as he shrugged his shoulders and walked out of the bathroom.
The man went upstairs to the roof of the school which was very quiet at that time. Fein took out his cell phone and called someone. After waiting for a while, the phone was finally picked up.
"Hello boss, what's up with calling me?" asked the person on the phone.
"I heard that your school is going to fight with my school. Are you participating in the fight, Joan?" asked Fein.
"Ohh yeah right, after school later. Of course I'm going, me and the others are going, what's the matter? Are you going to the fight too?"
"Heh, I don't want to deal with things that are not important to me," replied Fein leaning against the wall divider. "I just want you to confirm something."
"Something? What is it?"
Fein glanced at the backyard of the school that was visible from the rooftop. From there he saw Claire and Dior eating lunch together near a tree.
"I want you to make sure someone participates in that fight. That person is from my school."
"Oh what does he look like?"
He described Claire's features. With silver-gray hair and dark blue eyes, he also wore a black earring in his left ear. Joan understood Fein's meaning and he said he would make sure that person was there later.
"Let me know if he's really there later."
"Take it easy boss, it's easy. I'll close it then. I'll tell the others about it," Joan said.
"Yeah, see you later." Fein turned off his phone and watched Claire from a distance.
"We will see."
*****
After school, the Alphas who had gathered began to crowd towards the promised place near the river quite far from their school.
There were tons of people coming and they looked so terrifying with their tall and large bodies.
Claire watched them with surprise and some doubt, but he still tried to stay calm and think positively. The people who came from her school were also known to be very dangerous, he was confident that this way they could win.
"Fuhh... They do look scary, but I'm sure they're not as strong as rumored," Dior said while elbowing Claire's arm.
"Right, let's show them that we're much stronger than them. You can't lose to them."
"Don't worry, I can beat them up one by one!" Dior replied to Claire.
The Alphas began to release their intimidating pheromones. The situation was so tense, they seemed to threaten each other with their pheromones.
Claire himself began to feel doubtful about himself because he sensed that the strong pheromones of the Alphas might have an effect on hin being an Omega. As an Omega, he had no pheromones to threaten other than the pheromones attracting Alphas to mate with them.
He swallowed and tightened his fists, trying not to be afraid of them.
'I can do it. I'm sure I can.' he thought reassuringly to himself.
From the other side, a blonde-haired man looked at his opponent. He found a man with the characteristics mentioned by his boss on the phone.
It was the man Fein had called earlier, Joan. He had already found Claire who was standing near Dior. "That's him, the man the boss said on the phone," he pointed at Claire.
"Oh him? Are we going to make him our target?"
"Boss said for us to confirm whether he's here or not. It seems like that's what he wants us to do."
"Then he'll be our target? Okay."
They started targeting Claire in this case. The leaders of each group started making agreements, whoever won would be the strongest group and the loser would have to bow to the winner. There was to be no cheating in this.
"Easy, shall we do it now?"
"Who's afraid? Let's start now!"
The fight begins between the schools, they hit each other and it looks like their fists are so strong. Claire also played a role in this, but when he was about to advance against the others, he was suddenly surrounded by five tall Alphas.
The Alphas stared intently at Claire as if he was their prey. Claire readied himself to fight them.
"Come and fight me!"
