Alex got up from his bed and started his day with his usual routine.
After he's done, Alex leaves the house and heads to school.
While on the road, Alex can't help but think about the things that he learned last night.
However, instead of just uselessly feeling guilty, this time Alex is thinking about what he can do in order to resolve this threat that is looming Pearl City.
"I should be able to do something right?"
After thinking for a while, Alex opened his status panel.

…
Looking at his skills, Alex saw that none of his various skills seems useful in this current situation.
So after a bit of contemplation, Alex opened the skill tree after a long time.
"Let's see, maybe I'll find something useful here."
A bunch of skills appeared in front of Alex.
From the lowest D rank skills to the highest SSS skill, they are all available in this skill tree!
Scrolling slowly, Alex skimmed through the countless skills on the screen, reading their details one by one.
After a long time, Alex still couldn't find what he wanted and sighed disappointedly.
Until he arrived at school, Alex still failed to get any useful skills.
Reluctantly, Alex closed the skill tree and went to his classroom.
When Alex got there, he saw that Kris was nowhere to be found.
Raising an eyebrow, Alex muttered, "Hmm, Kris is still not here, huh…"
Alex sat on his chair and looked around the room.
Thanks to his [Hide] skill, the people inside the class didn't even notice that he's already here.
Since it's still not time for class, Alex decided to continue his search for a useful skill.
In just a minute, Alex has already looked through hundreds of skills but there's still none that he's satisfied with.
Since he was too focused, Alex didn't even notice Kris' arrival.
Just like everyone else, Kris didn't seem to notice Alex sitting there.
So, she just sat on her seat and behaved like a good student.
Not long after, the bell rang and the teacher arrived just on time.
Standing in front, Mrs. Gonzales started the class.
"Okay everyone, let's first take today's attendance. When I call your name, say present."
One by one, Mrs. Gonzales called the students' names.
Soon, Alex's name was called.
"Alex Fernando."
Casually, Alex raised his hand and said,
"Present!"
Immediately, everyone turned their eyes to Alex and saw that at the previously 'vacant' seat, Alex was sitting.
Everyone was surprised by the 'sudden' appearance of Alex.
Out of everyone, the one who felt shocked the most is none other than Kris!
Her seat is just right beside Alex but she didn't even notice him there from the beginning.
Looking at Alex with wide eyes, Kris said, "Y-you… when did you get here?!"
Hearing her question, Alex turned his head in her direction and smiled, "What do you mean? I've been here before you even arrived."
Kris was surprised at the unexpected answer.
"What?! You're clearly not there when I got here!"
Alex smirked and pointed at his bag, saying, "Are you sure? Did you not see my bag here in my seat?"
Kris thought back to it and was startled.
Indeed, she saw Alex's bag already placed in his chair.
But for some reason, her brain seems to have ignored it!
Speechless, Kris don't know what to say and just say there with a dumbfounded face.
At this time, Mrs. Gonzales clapped her hands and called the students attention.
"Okay, quiet everyone, let's continue."
At her words, all the students became quiet and behaved.
With that, the class continues as usual.
Kris also recovered after a while.
However, from time to time, she can't help but look at Alex with suspicious eyes.
On the other hand, Alex just boredly listened to class.
That's how the days gradually passed.
Soon, it was the end of class again.
Alex got up and immediately left the room.
When she saw that, Kris hurriedly followed him.
When she caught up to Alex, Kris slowed down and started walking beside him.
Finally, unable to hold her curiosity any longer, she asked, "Alex, what's with that this morning?"
"Did you use a stealth skill or something?"
Since there's nothing to hide anyway, Alex nodded, "Yeah, it's something similar to that."
"I knew it!" Kris said, "I was actually thinking about it the whole time in class and this is the only reasonable conclusion that I came up with."
Alex nodded in understanding and wasn't at all surprised that Kris was able to guess it.
Kris is someone who's been going in and out of the Alter Dimension for a much longer time than he does.
To make such a conclusion is not at all amazing.
Anyway, after her curiosity got satisfied, Kris changed to other topics to talk about.
"By the way, Alex, I heard from my uncle that you're helping him with something related to the public's safety right now, huh."
"He didn't tell me what it was exactly about, so tell me about it."
Saying that, Kris looked at Alex with eyes glistening with curiosity.
Alex raised an eyebrow and looked at her with surprise.
"Huh? He didn't tell you about it?"
Seeing Alex react like that, Kris paused and tilted her head to the side, saying, "Yeah. Why? Is it something serious?"
Looking at the clueless look on Kris' face, Alex finds it incomprehensible as to why Glen didn't tell her own niece about what's happening.
In Alex's thoughts, right now is a dangerous period and getting as much help as possible would surely be the best thing.
Kris, a Tier 2 player, could also be of help in this current situation, no matter how small it could be.
So, for Glen to not tell her, Alex finds it hard to comprehend.
But leaving his thoughts aside, Alex shook his head at Kris and replied, "Since he didn't tell you about it, I don't think I should do so as well."
"Ehh, why are you being like that?"
"I'm not sure if he has his own reason after all. Maybe there's a good explanation as to why he didn't do so." Alex calmly said.
…
While Sylvia is eating, Frey is meditating to recover. After what he did, he feel so exhausted that he almost can't move and just use his remaining little energy to cook food for Sylvia because of the mana depletion. This will always happen if he use his mana and let it fall to the bottom.
Although he is circulating his mana in his body carefully, He's still thinking in his mind about many things.
One of this is how did he finish the body. At first he thought that his mana will not last to finish the body and he is not wrong, the usage of man to create a body is huge. It is literally impossible to finish the body, but while he is creating it and thought that his mana won't last, someone or something help him finish it. What he felt though is that it did not mean harm. So with that he just let it help.
Another thing that he is thinking is, of course what to do with the girl Sylvia. He can't let her stay here in the house because his mom will see her and it will cause chaos.
While he is in his own world, Sylvia already finish the food and place it in the sink. Then she approach him without him noticing her. She look at him and don't know what to do. She want to call him but it kind of awkward to do that. While she is thinking what to do next, Frey open his and look at her and silence ensued.
"Uhm, Ano. . ."
Sylvia broke the silence because she can't stand it anymore.
"Uh, yes, what is it?"
"I just would like to ask if I can stay here because I don't have anywhere right now to stay and I don't know anything about this world." Sylvia ask while looking around the house. Everything in here is new for her. Technology is not advance at her world because what they focus is in the development of magic.
"Uh I don't know, because right now I am living with my mom. In this world magic is non existent or at least that's what i thought. Mine oh mine.
