Arrogant Alexis

"What's the matter?" Alexis asked.

Alexis blinked his eyes and looked at Evangeline.

"There's something I need to inform you about."

"In three days, the school is organizing a martial arts fighting competition for our senior year. Each class has ten slots. Initially, one of those slots was reserved for Orion. However, due to his recent arrest and the uncertainty of his release date, we wanted to ask if you would be interested in taking part in this school's martial arts competition."

Upon hearing this, Evangeline's expression took on a rather peculiar look, as if she was associating Orion's arrest with the person who delivered the news. Knowing that Orion had once been a diligent student, it was disheartening to see him entangled with this troublesome individual, which had severely damaged his reputation in no time.

A/N*: Diligent my ass!-----xxxx-----

It's hard to say what Orion will become after his release from prison. Incarceration can have a profound impact on a person's life, and it depends on how he copes with the experience and the support he receives afterward. Some individuals may learn from their mistakes and turn their lives around, while others may struggle to reintegrate into society. Only time will tell how he will handle the situation and what path he will take upon his release.

"School martial arts tournament?!" Alexis's eyes lit up with excitement and curiosity.

Alexis was familiar with the competition as well. It was an annual event, highly anticipated by students, where the most talented individuals from the school showcased their martial arts skills.

The allure of the tournament lay in the enticing rewards that awaited the victorious participants.

Of course, while the school's rewards might not have been extravagant, the real significance of the tournament lay in the opportunity it presented.

Securing a top ten position in the school martial arts competition held the key to something much more prestigious – the chance to represent Aelanthea High School in the city-wide high school martial arts competition.

The city-wide martial arts competition in Luminara Vale is a prestigious event that draws the finest talents from all high schools. Its popularity ensures a vast audience, making it a remarkable platform for participants to showcase their skills. The rewards offered at this level are indeed substantial and go beyond mere school recognition.

Emerging victorious in this competition could potentially lead to life-changing opportunities, including the chance to join the military for advanced training. Such an opportunity would not only bolster one's physical abilities but also open doors to a promising future with enhanced skills and personal growth. The allure of this possibility undoubtedly added an extra layer of excitement and motivation for those considering participation in the school martial arts tournament.

Even getting in prestigious university like Lumina University gets easier because of the event.

Initially, Alexis didn't give much thought to these matters as they seemed unrelated to him. However, circumstances have changed, and he now sees a potential opportunity. The school martial arts competition could serve as a means for him to accumulate "Hatred Points" and bolster his strength.

"If I represent the class in this school's combat tournament, does anyone else would have any objections?" Thinking this, Alexis looked at Evangeline and asked.

"Definitely no objections."

Evangeline shook her head and replied, "You've already proven your strength by defeating Drake. With such an impressive accomplishment, I don't think anyone in the class will have any objections."

That's normal.

The proof of martial arts strength is one's record of victories!

The measure of one's strength in martial arts is often determined by the caliber of opponents they can overcome. Before, Alexis might have been considered an ordinary individual without any outstanding traits. However, his recent victory over Drake at the Fighting Arena has become his defining achievement.

Even among the students of Class 36, there were not many who could defeat Drake.

Given Drake's formidable skills, there were not many students in Class 36 who could match his prowess. Therefore, when Alexis was chosen to represent the class in the competition, the other students had no objections.

"Alright, I agree," Alexis replied.

Alexis promptly responded, expressing his eagerness not to miss such a significant opportunity.

"Alright, then I'll submit your name for the competition," Evangeline replied.

Alexis nodded, but she couldn't help but ask, "Alexis, I've noticed that you haven't been very focused in class lately. What have you been up to?"

"Well, I've been working on a novel recently. " Alexis replied.

"Writing a novel?!"

Evangeline widened her beautiful eyes, looking at Alexis in disbelief. According to her understanding, this guy was clearly an idiot who couldn't read for more than three minutes without falling asleep. How could he know how to write novels, such a high-level thing? Even before, how did this bastard advance so quickly to the Fourth Level of Martial Disciple Realm? What changes have occurred in him?

Soon, she noticed a projected page on Alexis's desk and her heart skipped a beat. She asked, "Could it be that your novel is published on the Shark Novel website? Is this work written by you? What exactly does it contain...?"

With a snap, Alexis immediately closed the page, his face turning serious. He said, "What content I'm writing is none of your business. You should mind your own business. Don't bother with me and my work!"

His expression became strange, as he knew that if Evangeline found out what kind of novel he was writing, she would probably be furious with him. Therefore, he had to keep this matter hidden.

'Mind my own business?!'

Upon hearing Alexis's reply, Evangeline became extremely angry, her pretty face flushing with irritation. "You, Alexis, just because you defeated Drake ,now think that you can act all high and mighty, and even finding me bothersome? Do you think you've become some kind bigshot or something?"

Since childhood, she had always looked down on Alexis, with her excellent grades, all-around athleticism, and popularity as the campus belle. It had always been her finding him bothersome, never the other way around.

Now, to her disbelief, this jerk is becoming arrogant enough to claim that she, Evangeline, is the bother. It's truly unreasonable and infuriating!

A/N*: It's really hard to understand creature name, woman!

"The situation is not what you think, and it's difficult for me to explain anything to you. Besides, you wouldn't understand the novel anyway, so there's no point in discussing it."

Alexis attempted to brush off Evangeline swiftly, knowing that explaining the situation would be challenging and might lead to further complications. He believed she wouldn't grasp the nuances of his novel anyway, so discussing it seemed pointless. Moreover, his novel wasn't something that could be casually read, especially by women.

'Wouldn't understand?'

Hearing these words, Evangeline became even angrier. After all, she was an excellent student, ranking in the top ten of the whole school. Her language skills were top-notch, and there was no novel she couldn't understand and read. She could even translate ancient texts without much difficulty.

'It is evident that after defeating Drake, his arrogance has grown exponentially. He is belittling everyone around him, not taking anyone seriously, which is why he is spouting such nonsense without even considering someone like me, Evangeline.'

'Good! Very good!'

'Since you don't want me to see, I'll go and take a look at what you, Alexis, have written. You're so arrogant, thinking you're above everyone else!'

Evangeline made a firm decision. Not only did she want to read Alexis's novel, but she also planned to do so attentively and write a critical review to critique his writing skills. She aimed to show him that his arrogance was unwarranted and that he should learn to be humble.

'In this world, there are plenty of talented people, and you are not the only one.'

'[ Teacher Dani Daniel ]? This seems to be the title, right? Well, the name of the novel does sound quite refined and elegant. I wonder if it's centered around campus life, exploring the relationships between students and teachers. Perhaps it delves into the touching stories of dedicated teachers working hard to educate their students. Or maybe it sheds light on the challenges faced by educators in a school setting. However, I never expected this guy to show a sentimental side and venture into writing literary novels.'

With just a glance, Evangeline's keen dynamic vision and profound martial arts cultivation allowed her to instantly memorize the entire content on that page, leaving no detail hidden from her.

With those thoughts in her mind, she shot Alexis a fierce glare before returning to her own seat.

"Finally, she's gone." Observing that the other person had no intention of pursuing the matter further, Alexis also let out a sigh of relief.

Unfortunately, if Alexis were to discover that Evangeline not only plans to read his novel but also intends to write a review afterward, his expression would likely be quite intriguing to witness. The surprise he might display could be amusing.
