Hearing Ainsworth's agreement, Dante grinned and gave a thumbs up, "Don't worry, Ains! I won't let anyone bump into you. I'll bulldoze our path to the cafeteria!"
Rian observed Dante's tall and muscular body before snickering, "You better not bulldoze their backsides."
Ainsworth chuckled but Dante seemed to be deep in thought as if he was contemplating what Rian suggested, which caused Rian to sidestep away from Dante, guarding his backside.
Rian stammered, "I- I didn't think you were such a person!"
Dante grimaced and replied, "Nah, I was weighing the pros and cons and realized that it was too illogical to become bent. As a straight man, I can access three holes, while bent men could only choose two."
"As a man, I want the one with more options."
Rian smirked and patted Dante's shoulder, "Sure enough, you got enlightened."
As if remembering something, Rian asked, "Ains, what about you?"
Knowing what Rian meant, Ainsworth sighed with a helpless look on his face, "You already know who my crush is. Even if I'm in the Top 3 in school, she is still way out of my league. The only way I can shorten the gap is to awaken an SSS-rank Class and become an SSS-rank Awakener."
Rian nodded, "Of course I know. It's more likely for Dante to be bent than you. I believe in your talent and skills, so you should be able to awaken an SSS-rank Class."
Dante was too lazy to retort to Rian so he remarked, "As for becoming an SSS-rank Awakener, although it's very difficult to achieve that as only thirteen known SSS-rank Awakeners existed on Earth, Rian and I can still assist you."
Ainsworth nodded, "That's indeed feasible. The three of us can team up to take on otherworld missions and although that will increase the difficulty compared to a solo mission, at least the three of us know each other too well and can cooperate better than most teams."
He didn't doubt Rian and Dante's talents and he had a feeling that they would at least awaken an S-rank Class as the minimum.
After all, to become a student within the top ten rankings, all of them were undoubtedly exceptional since Edenbridge High was the number 1 school in the entire country, and was even one of the best in the entire world.
Rather than going solo on the otherworld mission, the three of them could form a powerful team with him as the leader.
…
While Rian, Dante, and Ainsworth were discussing their plans to form a three-man team to take on otherworld missions, they soon arrived at the school cafeteria.
As Dante promised, he had used his muscular and tall body to bulldoze his way to the cafeteria, like a moving wall that cleared the path for Ainsworth and Rian.
When they arrived at the school cafeteria, Ainsworth immediately checked the system inventory and decided to use the reward he got which was God-Level Charm.
As soon as he used it, his already handsome appearance became even more exaggerated.
Ainsworth's silver-blue hair was unevenly cut and it appeared slightly messy yet effortlessly stylish. His pale yet snow-white skin complemented his hair, making him look like the god of winter. His body was lean with compact muscles, striking a balance between slim and athletic.
His amber-golden eyes scanned the cafeteria with confidence, causing the girls who were already attracted to Ainsworth's previous charm to become even more infatuated with him.
Rian noticed the attention that Ainsworth got so he couldn't but look at him with surprise. He was used to Ainsworth being the center of attention since although Rian admitted he himself was handsome, so far, he hadn't seen anyone more handsome than Ainsworth.
But when he saw Ainsworth's appearance, he was stunned. Although Ainsworth's appearance didn't change, such as his hair color, face, etc., didn't change, Rian felt that Ainsworth became even more handsome despite that.
If he were to put it into words, it was like looking at a 480p resolution and 4k resolution image. The difference was that the latter was more appealing to look at. It's like Ainsworth's already handsome appearance became even more well-defined and detailed.
"Damn bro, what did you do to make your appearance even more handsome than before? Did you awaken your class innately and become an S-rank Idol or Celebrity?"
Hearing Rian's shock laced with confusion, Dante's attention was attracted so he stopped bulldozing towards the cafeteria and took a glance towards Ainsworth.
As expected, his expression was no different from Rian but unlike Rian who envied Ainsworth's appearance, Dante gave a thumbs up at him and smiled, "With your appearance, I dare say that even your crush will be stunned. If you throw away your pride and dignity as a man, you can easily become her kept man."
Regarding Dante's suggestion, even Rian was tempted. After all, Ainsworth's crush was the Top 2 in Edenbridge High School.
Ainsworth's crush in his past life was also her but compared to the one in this parallel world, the one in his past life had a much weaker background and was much easier to pursue.
At least, he had some confidence in his past life that he could become her equal and eventually marry her. But in this life, if he didn't get the system, it would take a lot of time for him to become an SSS-rank Awakener and that would also be a matter of whether he was lucky enough to do so.
Ainsworth wasn't a person who would give up easily so in his past life, even if Elyndra Celeste Valtoria was out of his league, he still did his best to shorten the gap between her and him.
In his past life, his friends and even his family knew about it so they were supportive of him. He had even worked hard and managed to raise his net worth to a hundred million dollars and he planned to propose to Elyndra after he reached a tenth of the richest man in the world, Melon Husk's, net worth.
'Fortunately, I chose the God-Level Charm instead of other rewards. There were quite a lot of stat attributes that an Awakener would possess, but the most difficult to improve was the Luck stat, followed by the Charm stat.'
'Now, my Charm stat should have reached the limit of human beings.'
With the idea of checking his Charm stat, Ainsworth opened his system stat screen.
