"Nico Robin". The girl introduced herself with a smile and her attitude was quite friendly towards them.
"Which class are you from?" Alex asked as he ate his food.
"Hmm, I was from class 4 but now I am in Special class like you guys". Robin answered with a smile as she looked at the four people sitting in front of her.
"Oh, Alice, Ye Lian and Me are from class 1 and as you said, we are in special class as well". Alex said with a smile and for some reason the girls around him were giving him the stink eye. He just shrugged as he knew why but ignored them anyway.
"Now that I remember, Hinata I never asked which class you were in". Alex looked at Hinata as he asked.
"Huh, Ah I am from class 2". Hinata replied with a blush as she was busy in her own fantasies and Alex asked her out of nowhere.
"Hey, what weapons do you like?" Alice finally spoke and asked Robin enthusiastically. This girl was a tomboy through and through.
"Me? I like to fight with Daggers". Robin pointed at herself as she replied.
Alice was already in her enthusiastic mood and started to chat with full vigour. "Oh oh, I like Guns. They are so good, you can go pew pew from far and kill monsters so much faster". Alice said as she made a gun with her small hands.
'Something else also goes pew pee. Ahem'. Alex thought in his head absentmindedly when he heard Alice's words.
'Amitabha, No lewding Lolis, no lewding lolis'. Alex bought one hand in front of him as he recited in his mind.
"Guns are good, they are second choice as weapons". Robin also showed her favour towards guns. She was more like an assassin than anything else.
"What do you like?" Robin looked at Alex, Ye Lian and Hinata in turn as she asked. Since the topic was bought and she was the curious type, she asked anyway.
"I like axes and Warhammers or Sledgehammers". Alex said with a grin as he puffed out his chest.
"I like claws". Ye Lian said with a sweet smile that sent a shiver down everyone's spine. She looked like she was harmless when she was using a gruesome weapon.
"Uhm, I…I L…Like t..t…to fight w…with my p…palms". Hinata said with her usual cute stutters and red face as she fiddled with her fingers. She had gotten used to talking with Alex a bit but she was still shy to strangers.
(A/N: ah my soul as I imagine Hinata being shy as she talks.)
"Hmm, very good but I don't understand your choice Alex. Isn't being agile better in slaying monsters". Robin looked at Alex as she asked tentatively.
'You don't know why I like that style besides mighty weapons are a Man's romance'. "I like to blitz through my opponents with overwhelming strength". Alex said as he patted his chest.
Hearing his reply, Robin just nodded her head and they ate their food while talking enthusiastically and Robin joined their little gang.
"You look like you are really into reading. Can you recommend me some good books on Martial and axe arts". Alex looked at Robin as he asked while he had a questioning tone.
"There are some very good books in the school library. You can read these….". Robin started to list some books. She listed a total of 5 books of which 2 focused on hand to hand combat, 2 axe mastery at different levels and 1 that mixed the both together.
Alex listened with rapt attention and patted himself on the back that he asked her for the books. It would've taken him ages to find the good ones.
"Thank you Robin". Alex said familiarly like she was already his friend without even taking her consent. 'You gotta train them young'.
Robin smiled back as she was usually engrossed in her reading to pay attention to kids around her. She found herself liking the company of these four people with different personalities.
Alex had a nice personality that easy to get along with but he suffered being too prideful when he fought with others.
Alice was a tomboy that spike and didn't think of the consequences. Ye Lian had a reserved and shy personality but she was a pleasant person once you know her.
Hinata had a timid personality but that just made her very cute. She could also mix well with anyone if they were not weirded out by her featureless eyes that had very faint pupils or you could even say that they had none.
All of them chatted and ate their food with gusto. Robin also felt nice and free when talking with them. Alex hadn't awakened his powers. So his charm currently worked as a passive and he could leave a good impression on anyone of the opposite sex.
Even if he did awaken his powers. There was no guarantee that he could control his charm anyway because it wasn't fully confirmed that his wishes were fulfilled exactly as they were written. There could be some changes depending on the world itself.
"Okay you guys chat among each other. I need to attend the instructor. Catch you guys later". Saying that Alex stood up from the chair as he got ready to leave.
"Bye, make sure not to get hurt". All four of them waved to Alex as they continued on with their own conversation.
Alex walked down the hallway and made his way towards the auditorium for his session with the instructor. As he made his way towards the gym, a lot of girls greeted him along the way.
Since the usual duo weren't with him as his guards. The other girls took the chance to try and get his attention. As strong were respected, Alex was even more of a male star among his age group. Coupled with his cute looks, the small girls were quite smitten with him and a few others in school.
The boys also had their own targets. Especially now that the students for special class were determined. The boys would have a better idea on who to target as having a capable companion or even just pulling them into their family would be a great boon for the family.
Children were instructed and educated in this way. So there was nothing they thought was wrong with doing this. As it was a fact that having a strong person's goodwill was the best.
(A/N: Let me clear a misconception for you guys first. Alex has a distorted personality doesn't mean he is totally out of his mind. He just won't allow anyone he loves to be taken away from him or let her leave him. I know this move would be a bit of an ass but hey I am making a wish fulfilment so it won't come down to that anyway.)
