Imperial Han Country.
Someone attacks Alex in the middle of the night while he is staying at an inn.
When the first man's ambush failed, a few men in black cloaks engaged in battle.
They could not handle Alex, and the battle ended in just a few seconds, with them tied up.
Alex questions them, but they keep their lips sealed and have no intention of leaking.
He removes the hood of one of them.
This is the first time Alex and Jake have met.
Alex has been pushing for information ever since he discovered that Jake is their leader, but even Jake refuses to reveal anything.
He eventually killed them all with a single attack.
"Be grateful."
This is Alex's final word before leaving the inn, unaware of Jake's survival, and it is the reason Jake misinterprets his intention.
…
Alex decided to go around the capital of the Imperial Han Country but he didn't find any clue about the attack on the Island even with the help of his fortunate Teller app.
The next day, he decided to go back to the Academy City since he couldn't find anything.
The Emperor knows his movement but he stop sending any of his minion.
The new Emperor is not the real emperor.
An old man possessed the body of the prince and decided to make a coup d'état against the current emperor.
He was able to kill all the royal family because he already control half of the nobles so no person betray him.
In the surface, the Imperial Han Country is a normal country but what they didn't know is that, the underground is full of undeads.
Only a few months until his attack preparations are completed, but first he must kill Alex because he is impeding his progress for unknown reasons.
…
Arriving at the Academy City, he immediately sleep with Eryl to comfort his restless heart.
One night is not enough and they decided to make it 2.
Eryl is at the mercy of Alex but no matter what she pleas, the only thing she done is to enjoy the pleasure that she received.
Alex is satisfied as long as he can see his partner is very satisfied.
They already finished when the night comes but Alex has still some energy so he decided to get a cup of water.
Unfortunately, while getting one, he gets attack out of nowhere.
The surrounding is dark but he can still see like it's still daylight but he couldn't see who's the one who attack him.
He felt a bloodlust on his back and take out his dagger to block the attack.
At this moment, he learn who's the attacker and he is surprised to see this.
"Manager?"
The one who attack him is the manager of the dormitory.
From what he remember her name is Rachel.
…
Rachelle River.
Code name: Shallow
Current undercover name: Rachel Styx
Almost no one knows her real name but she is known as the person with a thousand faces.
The underworld found out that someone is searching for their tracks.
She has been sent a mission to know who's that person and she will determine if that person will be killed or not.
Rachelle found out that one of the students is the one she's looking for.
She decided not to think anything about it and just kill him silently but she did expected what will happen to her.
…
As they clashed, Rachel learned that she has no odds of winning against Alex however it's too late to regret and continue her attacks.
Unfortunately, thinking too much becomes her weakness.
Alex kicks her legs, and she falls down.
She passed out before she could get back up.
…
Alex wanted to begin the interrogation, but it appears that she is not the only one who is working undercover.
He is surrounded by a lot of familiar faces.
Alex learns that half of the housekeepers are underworld spies.
He sighs in disappointment because the Academy's security is lax and many spies are active throughout the city, particularly in this dormitory.
His gaze was drawn to a particular spy who always wore a cold expression.
She is always the one who informs everyone about the dormitory's curfew and is responsible for closing the door every night.
Many students are afraid of her but also attracted to her for the same reason.
The woman noticed his eyes were fixed on her.
"Disgusting"
Amanda Kennedy despises men, but she needs money, which is why she is working undercover in this dormitory.
The surrounding women are preparing to attack.
Alex is still lax, which irritated them.
They internally stated that he is just a kid and that taking down one of them (Rachelle) was simply because she let down her guard due to her status as a student, as people tend to underestimate students due to their lack of experience; however, now that they know he is not an easy opponent, they will not let their guard down.
…
5 minutes later…
"I surrender…"
"I surrender…"
"Me too…"
Most of them surrender because they realize they cannot escape him.
They can tell he lacks experience in a life-or-death battle, but as the battle progresses, he becomes accustomed to it and outperforms everyone else.
Despite the fact that they know Alex has more strength, speed, and mana than them, he is an inexperienced student, so how can he compete against them?
Also, how did he get used to it so quickly?
The pressure of fighting against a large number of people is something that cannot be overcome solely through talent, and they learn it the hard way, but in front of him, their experiences are a joke.
Alex was able to overwhelm them, and they are now all tied together by a special rope that he received as a reward for completing one of his quests in his quest app.
All of them are in one room, which has mostly been unused.
They tried to scream, but no voice came out because Alex let them eat a strange candy that could muffle their voice.
Some are shivering, believing that their lives are over.
Their eyes reveal a sense of depression and helplessness.
They know they will die in this business, but they continue to do it because the rewards for each mission are so high.
They closed their eyes, expecting to die, but what happened next surprised them.
