The next morning, Alex was already feeling much better considering his ribs were no longer constricting his breath. As much as he hated the names and even more so the descriptions of his skills, his system wasn't simply hot air.
Getting out of bed with a yawn, Alex began wandering all over the room and stashed his schoolbooks and stationery into his bag before heading downstairs. His parents, Mr and Mrs. Ivanov were sitting in the living room watching the news with a steaming cup of herbal tea in hand.
They both wore peaceful expressions as if nothing in the world could faze them, completely unaware of the internal dilemma Alex was facing.
"Good morning, mom, dad," Alex bobbed his head in greeting before heading to the kitchen and making breakfast.
Just as his toast was ready, Shana stormed into the kitchen and seeing the toast, directly took it and started eating.
"Hey! you-" Alex protested, but quickly swallowed his following words upon seeing her glare.
Shana was a beauty no matter from which angle, her golden-blonde hair tied back in a ponytail, large blue eyes that seemed electric, and tender pink lips. The way her school uniform clings to her figure, accentuating her breasts and hips only made her more enticing to look at.
'Fuck! I'm doing it again,' Alex inwardly cursed and forcefully turned his gaze away.
"Hmph!" Shana snorted derisively and stormed out of the kitchen, obviously not unaware of Alex's Lusty Gaze that just licked all over her body.
She had wanted to hit him again and vent her anger, but they still lived together and she knew she had hit him considerably hard last night. Therefore, she only stomped out of the room and decided to head toward school early. Her brother was no longer attending the same school as her, so she wouldn't have to risk falling under his perverted gaze all day.
Alex regretfully made some more toast before bidding goodbye to his parents.
The morning sun was shining over the mostly white with dark oak framing two and three story houses that lined the street. With the knowledge of nature that the elves brought from offrealm, trees are specially cultivated to be building materials.
Their wood can become even harder than steel and yet be half the price. This resulted in a large cultural shift to homes using a lot of wood for architecture, fretwork and other details to increase its visual appeal and perceivable value.
The Ivanovs lived in a middle-city suburb called Cortonstaf. This suburb was mostly inhabited by humans, but there were sporadic orc families and goblin dens.
Goblins weren't like in fantasy stories where they would kidnap and rape women en masse. They were still considered a bit ugly by human standards, but they were highly civilized and took care of many maintenance and menial jobs.
There were even a few goblins and goblettes with exceptional looks which married different species. Although the housewives' legend of a male elf, a species synonymous with beauty, falling for a female goblin still sounds a bit far fetched.
Cars rumbled down the road, churning on the natural energies in the air while other families were walking down the sidewalk. More expensive flying aether cars would occasionally fly across the sky leaving behind only the sound of them whooshing past.
Alex also managed to spot a few mages flying with their billowing robes and cultivators standing on flying swords with hands behind their back. It was still the first light of the morning, yet everywhere seemed to be bustling with activity.
Little Cherry High, Alex's new high school for his senior year, was in the next suburb over, Cherryvale. In order to get there, he had to wait for the bus to arrive at the stop several streets away.
Public transport ran quite frequently in this day and age unless you lived beyond the far outer suburbs.
Alex stepped onto the bus and took his phone out of his pocket before pressing it on the ticket machine. The screen lit up and displayed a blue virtual card before making a 'ding' sound, finally lighting up with a green acceptance circle and deducting the corresponding funds for the ticket from his eCredit account.
There was an elderly lady with her dog sitting at the front of the bus, a few goblins and a minotaur near the back, and several students in the middle wearing the same uniform at him.
Alex wanted to avoid leaving a bad impression before he even got to school, so he averted his eyes from them and found an empty seat to quietly sit in. He could still feel their gazes on him, but refused to even turn his head in that direction, leaving them with the impression he was simply antisocial.
The journey to school was filled with the students, two boys and two girls, gossiping to one another about what they did over the holidays while the beastmen in the back chuckled amongst themselves at the back as they leaned over a phone watching some video.
Several other passengers got on and off the bus. Some students who joined the earlier four and turned into a bigger, noisier group. Some even socialized with the minotaur and goblins up back and expanded the peanut gallery watching the video on the phone. There was even a lady which Alex thought that she looked like she was returning home in last night's dress.
Twenty minutes later, Alex followed the other students off the bus to the new school he was to attend, Little Cherry High.

"Alex Ivanov, this here is your welcoming package," A middle-aged dwarf with a thick, platted beard all the way down to his knees chuckled and gave Alex a folder filled with several items. "You will find a student handbook inside, along with a map of the campus, and several pamphlets provided by the organizers of our clubs and after curricular activities."
"Thank you, Principle Copperbeard," Alex bobbed his head politely and took the welcoming package from the principle who was constantly filled with laughter and smiles.
"Now, I'll get Mr. Luckholm to guide you through the school to your class. If you have any questions, feel free to ask him."
Principle Copperbeard called in another male student and bid farewell to him and Alex after passing his instructions.
Blake was a few inches taller than Alex, had neat combed black hair and a pair of thin square glasses on the bridge of his nose. His uniform was firmly pressed and without a single wrinkle. He overly buff but had a ramrod posture and would look exactly like a model student if it wasn't for his ice-cold blue eyes that looked down on Alex.
"Hello, I'm Alex," Alex introduced himself in a friendly manner, holding out his hand in offer of a handshake.
"I'm Blake Luckholm, student council president. Follow."
Blake ignored the outstretched hand and simply turned to lead the way. He clearly had no interest in making friends with Alex and didn't plan on sharing pleasantries either.
Alex awkwardly retracted his hand and shuffled his feet to stay keep up with Blake.
"Over to the right is the classrooms for years 7 through 10."
Alex turned his head and looked out the window. On the other side of a tree lined courtyard was the west wing of the school. Through the windows, he could spot younger students filing into the classrooms and arranging themselves into open seats.
"The ground floor contains the school's reception, administration department, and common teacher's lounge. Second floor is for 11th Grade classrooms, third floor is 12th Grade, where your classroom is. Most of the fourth floor is filled with clubrooms, but they are spread out throughout the school overall. The roof is for maintenance work on the air conditioners only and off limit to students."
Blake bullet listed information about the school one point after another so fast Alex was having trouble keeping up.
"The executive teacher's lounge is in the east wing, along with the cafeteria…."
"…Do you have any questions?"
"Eh, no. Not really, I suppose," Alex nervously stated, unsure if he even remembered even half of it.
"Be more concise with your answers. Yes or no would suffice," Blake sternly stated before knocking on the door of a particular classroom and waiting for it to open. "Ms. Lilith, this is your new student."
The person who opened the door was a beautiful woman with a large chest that threatened to spill out of a white button up shirt that was evidently two sizes too small. She looked to be an E cup, but they were crammed so tight into the shirt they may actually be a size larger.
She had creamy white skin with straight light pink hair extending down her back, the same color as the faint inverse sword tattoo on her chest between her exposed cleavage.
"Ohh~ Blake, you are as direct as always. You should loosen up a little you know," Ms. Lilith leaned inwards toward the model student with a sly grin.
Blake pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and responded without the slightest ripple in his icy eyes, "Please conduct yourself with dignity, Ms. Lilith. I will be taking my leave now."
Ms. Lilith giggled lightly and returned her focus to Alex, who was staring into the depths of her cleavage as if in a trance. This elicited a smirk from the teacher as she pushed her shoulders together and stretched her shirt to the point a button may fly off.
Alex found himself sinking deeper within the abyss of her cleavage when he suddenly felt and electric shock in his brain and pulled himself out of the trance.

"Well, Alex~, come in and introduce yourself to the class," Ms. Lilith smiled and pretended like nothing happened.
"Y-yes!"
It was then that Alex caught sight of the other traits of this teacher. First were the two black, scaly horns growing on her head from her hair and curving backwards. A pair of pointed ears like an elf's, but not as long. Then there was the leathery black tail extending out the bottom of her mini pencil skirt and curving up behind her back where it ended in a triangular, forked tip.
Both the horns and tail slowly waving behind her were key identifying factors of her being a devil from the abyss realm. As for which species of devil…
'Succubus!' Alex thought to himself while feeling extremely alarmed.
He warily followed her into the classroom and stood at the front of the room in front of everyone. The boys who looked at him smirked as they could tell he had just fallen under the charm of their succubus teacher, the type of devil which are said to be not only the most beautiful, but also the embodiment of lust.
The girls on the other hand felt like his lecherous gaze was sizing them up when he looked over the class and had looks of discomfort or disgust. The only exception was one girl sitting in the middle of the room who had merely furrowed her brows.
It wasn't just her reaction that was different but also her otherworldly beauty. She stood out among the class like a peony among a sea of dandelions.
She had long pitch black hair that was without the slightest ripple as it spilled over her shoulders, a few locked catching his attention as they passed over a pair of large mounds.
Alex could alse see under the desk from where he was standing and focused on her thighs, inwardly complementing their girth as his imagination ran wild.
Ms. Lilith wore seductive black transparent stockings with a garter belt, but this school beauty wore thin, pure black leggings that outlined the figure of her legs and left one to fantasize about being trapped between them.

"I look forward to the rest of the year with you all," Alex gave a curt bow of the head and tried to at least be as verbally polite as possible.
"Excellent~, you can take the open seat behind Vanessa," Ms. Lilith giggled and indicated toward the seat behind the girl he had just been eyeing perversely.
Alex quickly went to his seat and took out his books.
"Now, students," Ms. Lilith picked an arcane pen and began drawing complex designs and formulae on the giant board at the front of the classroom, "let's do a refresh course on arcane calculation."
