Alex took out the specks with an evil smile on his face as he descended the steps leading to the stage.
The people whom he passed through forgot to breathe as Alex passed. As soon as the speck was removed, Alex's entire aura changed. The power that he had been holding back started to emanate out sending a chill down the spine of everyone.
Before he looked like a gentle scholar, a harmless herbivore but now he looked like a predator who was going to hunt and devour its prey.
The speck was an artifact that Athena got from the Kingdom of Rhine who offered it to her as a tribute for her immense help. Without Athena, the lands would have become barren and infertile, if she hadn't dealt with the aftermath.
She gifted him after casting some spells which stopped his killing intent from passing out and calmed his mind.
Even if he is angry and released his killing intent, it would be neutralised by the speck and it could also hide the wearer's rank.
