"Shut up!" One of the teenagers exploded instantly."Do you think we are scared of some stupid slave of yours!?"
"I don't know. But if you can defeat him, then it will prove you are not." Alex replied calmly.
That teenager gritted his teeth and finally decided to follow what Alex said. "Come on guys, let's show our power."
Everyone nodded their heads in agreement with him.
The teenager in the front quickly formed a fireball in his hand, as did many others who showed their powers.
Some had natural elements floating in the air, while others had theirs attached to their bodies. While one was exceptional, he was using just a knife.
"Oh," Alex became amused by the sight in front of him. 'So humans have come up with this. Those guys who are able to separate their natural element from their body and use it flexibly; they should be called conjurers.'
'And those guys who attached their element to their body and powered themselves up, hmm...they should be augmenters.' Alex rubbed his chin.
Then Alex came to something that actually surprised him—it was about the knife guy. 'They also learned a way to cultivate their weapons. This is interesting. They should not know the way to that. Maybe a genius has appeared and he is hiding.'
'Interesting..very interesting. So, the story has already come to this point.' While Alex was high in the clouds, the teenagers had already rushed forward to attack.
The augmenters and the weapon cultivator rushed forward for close combat. Meanwhile, the conjurers stayed back because of their ability to have long-range advantages and support.
Bran just stood there quietly, not paying heed to their cooperation.
People with fire fists, water fists, and every kind of elemental attack got thrown at Bran.

In a split second, a deep cut appeared on the rushing teenagers, and from that cut, blood started gushing out of it. Their dash also got stopped, and they slowly fell to the floor.
Bran finished off those guys and now had to face the long-range attacks from the conjurers.
Bran waited for the attack to reach a certain distance.
'Now,' when those attacks came within his attack radius. He slashed at those attacks' weak points.
Instantly those attacks got disabled. At that time, Bran teleported toward the guys in the back and also gave them a deep cut in the chest.
"As expected." Immediately after that, Alex's hoarse voice sounded. 'These kids don't seem to have learned anything in the class, or they have not even tried.'
"Please spare us," one of the teenagers said, clutching his chest.
"I don't break my promise. So, I will let you go." Alex still didn't stand up, not wanting to let Monia miss his shoulder. "But, that also means you will face Bran every single month until you defeat him."
Hearing that made the teenagers quiver in fear. They didn't want to fight this monster again.
"And about me, you should forget about it." Alex then snapped his fingers, and immediately the teenagers fell asleep while their wounds healed up instantly.
Alex tweaked their memories a bit, so now they will not remember anything about Alex. But they will have memories of everything that happened on this train.
Bran also vanished, leaving everyone asleep except Alex. The sound coming from the train also started to get audible. The teenagers also got seated down with Alex's dark magic help.
Alex quietly sat in his seat and looked up at the ceiling.
Suddenly, he spoke to himself. "By the way, what are the power levels humans have come up with?"

Their train had finally arrived at Malko City Station, where Alex and Monia's home was.
Carrying Monia on his back, Alex slowly walked towards her home.
In the middle of the road, Alex thought to himself. 'She's heavy.'
After twenty minutes of walking, Alex finally arrived at Monia's home.
Her house had tatami flooring, sliding doors, and wooden verandas circling it. Her house was basically a traditional Japanese house, which was called Minka.
Opening the steel gate, he walked toward the door. After arriving at the door, he rang the doorbell, but no one came to open it despite the lights being turned on inside the house.
So, Alex assumed that no one was at home. 'But who has their lights on inside an empty house?'
Sliding the door open, Alex entered the house. Alex came into a room where there was a futon. He laid Monia on that and heaved a sigh.
"Finally, done." Alex, seeing that he got sweaty, decided to sit outside and cool himself down.
Sitting down outside, Alex turned his head to look at the sleeping Monia. 'Now what should I do? Should I leave her in this state? .....Perhaps I should stay just tonight.'
Shing
Alex suddenly ducked his head down as someone sneak-attacked him suddenly with a sword from his right side.
The sneak attacker didn't seem to be satisfied with failing to land a hit, so he started to go on a barrage of attacks that had killing intent in it.
Alex used his dark magic to close the door and swiftly retreated into the open backyard to see who this unknown enemy was.
Landing in the backyard, he dodged the flurry of attacks and took a good look at who this enemy was.
"Huh!?" Alex was dumbfounded when he found out who this was. Through Alex's eyes, he was able to determine this young attacker's age from his bone age.
It was a 17-year-old boy, who had many similarities to Monia. He had short and slightly messy hair. He was wearing a basic white robe and loose-fitting pants, which were hakama. He was holding a long katana.
Alex lightly tapped into this boy's attacks, which were full of openings. This caused the boy to lose his balance and stumble backwards.
Alex, finally finding a chance to speak properly, asked in confusion. "Who are you, kid?"
"You tell me first. Who are you, pervert?" The boy pointed his sword at Alex and spoke with pure hostility. "You wanted to do something to my sister! Aren't you!?"
