*How do you destroy the ego of an incapable simp, living and acting only to obtain a girl's approval? *
This question appeared in Eric's mind after around two minutes of analyzing Alex's behavior and natural characteristics.
Alex wasn't particularly good-looking or intelligent.
Still, he had a similar gift to his father, who worked in the sales sector: he had a way with words, trying to gradually change people's opinions through verbal means and not.
As a drop of water slowly carved a rock, Alex achieved something remarkable: he changed the classroom's opinion of Eric.
To achieve that, he showed strong determination and consistency in his actions.
*Too bad we started with the wrong step.
We could have been friends in other circumstances…anyway, I will return the favor in a day, only tenfold. *
Eric obviously didn't need or even want to take as much time as Alex: he just needed a more punchy approach.
