Chapter 66: Third round of the competition
Classes continued as usual as time passed but Alex felt that something was very different. The most obvious was the way the students were now behaving towards him.
No one was throwing him disdainful glances as usual or saying anything to mock him. During classes, some teachers even tried to make him interact in class by asking him questions.
The way that the students looked at him had also changed; some had fear, and some had admiration in their eyes; it was something that Alex wasn’t used to.
What he didn’t know was that after the competition yesterday, the majority of the students and teachers had been convinced.
Alex was the real deal!
To be precise, his rare element was the real thing. It would be stupid of them to continue treating him like they used to, especially now that he wasn’t trash anymore and was even amongst the strongest now; if not the strongest already. Some were debating who would win between him and goddess Laura.
That aside, the students had concluded after watching Fabio’s miserable fate yesterday. They had to stop treating Alex like they used to.
Those who had bullied him or openly ridiculed him had become fearful; they started to avoid Alex because they feared that he would come to seek revenge on them. Others who had not done anything bad in particular to him were now thinking of how to get closer to him.
As for the teachers, they wanted to amend their wrong actions over the years. They had neglected Alex and discriminated against him, turning a blind eye to his predicament and even scolding him when he reported about what the students were doing.
They felt that they had been blind and wanted to make up by becoming friendly with Alex.
After all, with what Alex had displayed so far, he was bound to make a good performance during the tournament and would definitely be noticed by scouts of big magic universities.
