"Nice to meet you, all of you. As I am seeing most of you guys older than me. However, still, I am your senior in rank, so pardon me if I use a tone that supposes to come from a higher position."
This was the first time Alex directly spoke to a group of students. So, he makes his position clear to them, because he is a teacher, and he needs to talk with them without an honorific.
"No problem, Sir. You are sitting on the Department Head seat because you are a capable person. So, we don't have any complaints about it."
Saimond Gray said.
"That's good then. Let me introduce myself to you guys formally then, I am the Department Head of Athletic and Discipline, Sr. Professor Alexander Cyrus. I am a 3rd Level Grand Duke, and the owner of the Babylon Hotel will soon know of."
Alex unofficially promoted his restaurant. However, a girl ignore that part and asked,
"Sir, I want to know something if you don't mind."
"Please, ask."
Alex gave her permission to ask.
"How did you become so strong in just your teen? I was really curious about you. And always think about the theory behind your strength."
The girl said. Her name was Masha.
"Actually, I have talent and luck, and hard work in a few places, so that's how became stronger."
Alex won't say about his strength, and that's given.
"I see. Then do I have a chance?"
Masha asked him.
"Of course, you do. If I can have talent, luck why won't you have them? Nobody is born special. They become special later on. So, I think you can be far stronger than you and others ever imagined."
Alex replied to her.
"I see. Then, please guide us to become strong."
Masha told him with a smile.
"Of course."
Alex smiled back at her. Then continued,
"Now, let's talk about the important job that we have on our hands in the upcoming days. It's about maintaining a certain level of security while the national tournament is running. Hopefully, you guys are ready for this."
The Student Council President made a cup of tea and gave that to Alex then he said,
"Yes, we are ready, Sir. We are always ready for our service."
Alex sips the tea. It was good. But the leaf that he had taken from Asgard is much richer than this.
"Okay, we need to go through certain plans to protect our guests, it's not like we can be everywhere. I guess for that reason we need to talk together with the discipline division, another teacher from my department will be at that meeting, I think the Principal and Board of Directors will also join our meeting."
Alex told them. Hearing that, Monora Akter the vice president looked at Saimond Gray and then told Alex,
"Actually, we don't have much of a good relationship with our current Discipline Division. I don't think they will agree to join with us unless you force them to."
Alex didn't ask why was that, after hearing that, he guessed that there is a story between them, so he need to assess that side before he promise them anything.
"I see. Then let me handle it for now. I will let you guys know, what my decision about the meeting is."
Saying that he stood up. And took a tea bag from his storage. Everyone got surprised after seeing that. Alex give that to President and said,
"Take this, it's a tea leaf Babylon. Hopefully, you guys like that."
"Thank you, Sir."
Saimond Gray thanked him.

It was afternoon.
Everyone who is participating went to practice at Rona National Sports ground. Alex sends his clone there. Currently, he was waiting for the discipline division president.
He was actually 20 minutes late than what the principal said. Alex was thinking if something urgent came for that division that they are late.
When he was thinking that, a student enter the room without knocking or getting permission before entering the room.
"Hello, Professor, my name is Rudy Yorker. The president of the Discipline Division."
The student introduced himself. He was the same age as Saimond Gray, however, their atmosphere 180°. This boy also has a good look, however, there is a somewhat arrogant vibe in him. Most importantly, a student should have addressed him as Sir, not a professor. However, Alex didn't correct him.
"Nice to meet you, Rudy. I guess I have met you before."
Alex saw him before but cannot remember.
"Yes, Professor. It was two years ago, at Arcadia Mansion. We met at your sister's birthday ceremony."
Now Alex remembers where he met him.
"Ah yes, now I remember."
Alex nodded and continued,
"Okay, let's go to meet Discipline Division."
Alex didn't wait for his invitation, he stood up before that.
"Okay."
Rudy Yorker said and exited for showing him the way.
