Chapter 38 - 38. Inter-school Competition 3

Alex looked around trying to find Saeko and the other girl that he knew from before. He wasn't able to know her name during that time but he was sure that she was from a good family and would probably be here.

"Oh, I see Saeko. Let's go and say hello". Alex saw Saeko looking at him as he waved and told the others beside him.

"Let's go!" Alice cheered and quickly ran towards Saeko.

Hinata like a little wife just followed along with Alex while Ye Lian and Robin were talking with each other and accompanied them.

"Saeko, ready for an official match?" Alex got near Saeko as he asked her with a smirk.

"Huh, who are you coming near Saeko-Sama!!" Just then a dude sprang up from his seat and stood in front of Alex as he acted like a tough guy.

"Listen here you simp, Saeko knows me and you better stay away from her in the future". Alex said as he just pushed past the guy and came face to face with Saeko.

The guy behind went red in the face from Alex's way of talking and tried to touch his shoulder but Alex just swatted away his hand.

"Don't touch me". Alex said as he looked at the guy with contempt.

"You better hope, you don't meet me in the ring". The guy said as he walked away with a harrumph.

"Hmph, just you". Alex didn't even consider talking anymore with the guy and just smiled at Saeko.

"I'll beat you again today". Saeko said finally after the disturbance was over.

"Hahaha, we'll see about that". Alex laughed with pride as he looked at Saeko with a teasing expression.

Suddenly, a black haired blur came crashing into Alex. "I finally found you!!" It was a girlish voice that sounded very pleasant to the ear.

"Hmm". Alex looked to the side and saw a black haired girl holding onto him tightly.

"Oh, here you are. I haven't seen you in a long time. How are you now?" Alex greeted her back with a smile when he saw the cute and beautiful face. He habitually patted her head without even thinking.

She could be considered Alex's first friend as he saved her from some adults when she was about to get kidnapped.

Although her mom didn't take kindly to him and said that men are trash. He felt absolute rage when faced with such an unreasonable woman but considering the girl's situation. He didn't say anything.

It was the time when he first got out of the compounds when he was just 3 years old. It was his first time out of the villa and he was enjoying himself in the commercial district.

It was then he saw a girl getting dragged into the alley by some men. He shouted for the guards and the guys panicked. In their panic, Alex quickly took the girl's hand and ran out to the street.

The guy's tried to chase him but it was too late by then as he was already out in the busy street and finding children there was very difficult.

They looked around without talking much as the girl hugged his arm tightly in fear and looked for her mother with him.

After looking for a while, they finally found her mother but she didn't even thank him and told the girl to stay away from him because he was a man.

Alex at that time was livid but just left it at that as the girl was crying while holding onto her mother. He smiled at her reassuringly as he said bye and left.

Alex snapped back from reminiscing when he heard the girl reply back to him.

"Hehe, I'm okay, dear". The girl clung to him as she said cheerfully with a huge smile.

"Hey, what did you say?" Alice heard the girl and immediately became irritated when she saw her clinging to Alex as well.

"Hmph, what's it to you?" The girl replied back as she tilted her head up and said.

"Leave Alex-kun alone". Hinata was radiating a dangerous aura around her as she clashed gazes with the girl.

These two's reaction was more extreme than Ye Lian, Robin and Saeko. All of them had frown on their faces but opted to stay silent as Alice and Hinata were already on the case.

"He is my dear like I heard from my friends. Why are you interfering between us". The girl looked at the two with disdain as she said.

"Y..You are not allowed to hold Alex!" Alice shouted and caught the other side of Alex.

Hinata also came as she hugged Alex from behind and started pulling him away from the girl. She wasn't going to allow some random girl to take her Alex-kun.

Alex just acted dumb for a while as he enjoyed the show. "Okay, don't fight. Let me introduce her to you". Alex said with a smile as he stopped the struggling girls.

"Uhhh, I never actually took your name". Alex scratched the back of his head as he said with a hint of embarrassment.

The rest of the girls there just face planted to the ground, anime style when they heard his words.

"My name is Boa Hancock, dear". Hancock again hugged Alex's arm as she clung to him like glue.

"You know, your mom won't like this". Alex said as he felt Killing intent coming from a direction but then immediately that killing intent was silenced by an even bigger killing intent that moved in that direction.

'So, Ka-chans are here'. He thought as he smiled towards the direction of his mothers' box.

"Ahem, so this is Hancock and this is Alice, Hinata, Robin, Ye Lian and Saeko". Alex pointed at each of them as he introduced them.

"Now, be good girls and stop fighting". Alex looked at them with a smile that wasn't a smile. All the girls pouted at him but didn't object and just decided to talk with each other.

"Hancock, you have become even more cute since the last time I saw you". Alex said as he pinched Hancock's small cheeks with his hands.

'He called me cute, ahhh'. Hancock jumped in joy in her mind as she smiled sweetly at Alex.

"How do you know her?" Alice being truly jealous right now, spoke again.

"Oh her, I met her when I went out alone to the shopping district. I was only 3 years old and saw her getting dragged by some adults. I tricked them and rescued her as we went to find her mother". Alex smiled as he introduced their story.

Grayfia, Mamako and Raikou had developed a sixth sense for him after that incident when they found out about it. Although they scolded him and even worried about him. They still took all the responsibility for it.
