The Veilwalker-Chapter 369: First Lesson (1)

The students were returned to their classrooms after Alexander’s address, and class for that day was cancelled.

No one was in the mood to stay in class when they had new toys to play with. The students were too eager to test out the perks of their suits.

Naturally, the next day was going to be their first lesson with Alexander, and everyone wondered how he was going to handle the millions of fourth-years.

Meanwhile, Alex was shown his new office and place of residence. He turned down the residence as he had no need for it when he could return home anytime.

Anyway, inside his new office, Alex stood at the window that gave him a clear view of the academy grounds. A bit of nostalgia could be seen in his eyes as he recalled his days here.

"Xex," Alex called out softly. "Retrieve all the files on the students, and highlight their strengths and weaknesses. I want to know everything there is to know about abilities."

[Right away…] The AI got to work.

As the personal assistant to the Gray Eminence, Xex was upgraded to unrestricted access to all databases in the empire. There was nothing hidden from it.

While Xex got to work, Alex moved to sit in his new desk chair. The feeling from all this was rather surreal.

’Hehe… Even with all this power, I feel giddy just from getting a simple job.’ Alex gazed at the ceiling with a small smile. ’Life is really something….’

’Alex.’ A sudden call from Zol got his attention. ’There’s a report.’

’Let’s hear it.’ Alex sat up, his brows furrowed.

’Just as you predicted, those visitors weren’t the only ones to come. There seem to be more of them.’ Zol explained. ’Lady Cassandra has taken care of most of them. The only issue is we don’t know what exactly they were doing, and they refuse to talk.’

’I see…’ Alex nodded. ’Are they of the same race as the dragons?’

’A few of them are. Some are of different races we couldn’t identify. The only common factor is they are all humanoid.’

Alex remained silent for a second before asking another question. ’What about void creatures? Did you encounter any of the new breeds?’

’Yes, five of them.’ Zol answered. ’Fortunately, lady Cassandra was able to push them out before dealing with them.’

’That’s good.’ Alex released a small sigh. ’For the other races you couldn’t identify, put them together and I’ll have them sent to the facility.’

’Roger.’

Alex closed his eyes, focusing on the connection he had with Zol. And through that connection, he linked his senses to Zol’s, allowing him to see what Zol saw.

’You could have just made an appearance.’ Cassandra turned to Zol with a smile. She felt Alex’s presence the moment his senses arrived.

’It’s your mission, woman.’ Alex retorted while his senses locked on to the passed-out and tied-up aliens. ’I don’t want to take away the learning experience.’

A thought from him swallowed the aliens, instantly sending them to the facility, adding his instructions for what the people there needed to do.

Naturally, he sealed their strengths completely, leaving them as weak as normal humans.

’They may appear humanoid, but some of the features I’m seeing aren’t what you’d expect to see on a human.’

Regardless, they were still uninvited guests, and whatever they were up to, he was going to find out.

’Keep me posted.’ Alex added before his presence faded.

Back in his office, Alex leaned into his chair, a heavy sigh escaping his lips. He more or less knew what beings like the ’Supreme One’ wanted. The only issue was that he didn’t get it; he couldn’t.

And his reluctance to bend to such a being stemmed from his desire to not see his people suffer anymore, or be suppressed for resources and what else.

Whatever it was, Alex was unwilling to see that happen and was more than ready to fight whoever they brought forward to put him in his place.

’They can throw whatever they want at me, but this universe isn’t going anywhere.’ He vowed with determined eyes. ’Not when I am still alive and breathing.’

[The files are ready, Alexander]

Xex’s voice broke him out of his reverie. He focused on the holographic list before him.

"Thank you, Xex." He said. "Let’s get some work done."

The next day.

The fourth-years reported bright and early to their classrooms, all awaiting the arrival of their star instructor.

The entire day was dedicated to Allex so he could handle the final years. No other instructor was going to be coming after him.

Since the students were final-year students, they had little need for theoretical classes and needed more practical applications of their skills.

"What do you think Lord Alexander would be doing with us today?" A student asked his sitting partner.

"How should I know?" The student shrugged. "The only thing I can think of is practical lessons on combat and hunting, most likely."

"Yeah… That sounds the most logical." The student nodded. "But how is he going to handle all of us?"

"Again, he is Lord Alexander. He literally created suits for us out of thin air. Do you think he would have an issue handling all of us at once?"

The student pondered on the words, finding no issues with that line of reasoning. His gaze turned to Aaron’s sitting area.

"Enough already." Another student sitting close by chipped in. "It’s almost time. He should be here any second now."

And like magic, Alex suddenly appeared before the class, surprising them greatly. Moreover, he didn’t just appear in this class.

Alex made several clones of himself, sending one to each fourth-year class. He was everywhere at once, dressed in the same instructor’s outfit.

"Good morning, everyone." Alex said with a dazzling smile. "Hope we’re all good."

The students quickly recovered from their surprise. And just as Alex expected, some wanted to jump him.

"No." Alex firmly said with a head shake, killing the hopes of the girls. They couldn’t move even if they wanted to. "I can understand how you feel, but this is a place for learning. I would appreciate it if you control yourselves."

"Ugh…" The girls groaned in disappointment, their pretty., caked and beaming faces deflating like tyres.

"Good." Alex nodded in satisfaction once they agreed to his words.

His focus shifted to the entire class, his gaze roaming the faces of all the students and identifying each and every one of them.

He knew their abilities, their skills and weaknesses; everything he needed to polish the students.

"Now then, for our first lesson…"
