Endless Horde: Through the Eyes of a Godking

Chapter 145: Alexis Von Julis

--

Fuming and enraged...these are the two emotions that Alexis Von Julis strongly feels right now.

"How dare that...that cheating scum to ignore me!" He gnashed his teeth as he paced inside his room.

His sharp brows furrowed deeply and his deep obsidian eyes clouded with rage. He huffed and puffed as he recalled the blatant disregard that pesky freshman showed to him. What made him even more upset was that he turned into a joke by those who witnessed it.

Alexis had never been disrespected like this before, and he refused to let it pass.

"How can they ignore this? Have they gone blind? How can they let a mere Freshman ignore me like that? Even more, how can they let someone like that cheat so openly and not even reprimand him for his behavior?"

He couldn't — no, he refuses to accept this. Where did fairness go? Where's the respect he earned by reaching his status? How can they blatantly ignore all the signs of corruption in this place? This, of course, couldn't go on.

But, my isn't this a dilemma? Because it would seem that he had no allies here. That filthy freshman was all chummy with the cave guardians, meaning that he had them on his side.

Of course, Alexis wasn't blind to the looks that the others were giving him. He had tried to recruit people to his peerage yet none of them understood his genius.

That was okay with him. After all, finding someone who could understand him on a deeper level would be a dime in a dozen. He had long since understood that most of the people out there were merely jealous of him and his overwhelming talent. How could they not? He is Alexis Von Julis, the fiercest and most handsome prodigy ever born!

"He must've done something then!" Alexis concluded, "Yeah! I wouldn't put it past him. After all, he already resorted to cheating just to get enrolled into this class, and bribing must be included in his filthy skillset! Yeah! That makes sense! After all, that kid's an ex-convict!

A dirty and sinful criminal!"

Alexis' eyes brightened as he reached this conclusion. He then erupted in laughter and exclaimed:

"I got you, you little shit! As expected, I truly am a genius! Oh, you filthy commoner. I knew it'd be impossible for an ex-convict like him to even be here!"

His mad laughter then subsided as another issue arose in his mind.

"As much as I hate to say this, he must be skilled. After all, he presented enough evidence that he is a genius to be admitted here on top of his filthy ways. I cannot underestimate him but he must be exposed!"

His eyes burned with righteous indignation as he declared:

"I must let everybody know of crimes...whatever they may be! He does not belong here! The likes of him should be rotting behind jail cells, never to see the light of day!"

"Don't worry everybody, I, Alexis Von Julis, will shine a light upon this filthy criminal and expose his evil ways! I will eliminate this malicious tumor that has infiltrated this sacred institution!"

"I know that you will doubt me but it's fine! I don't need you to understand, my actions shall speak for my pure intentions and my heart!"

Alexis then summoned his sword and raised it perpendicular to his face. His eyes shone with a savage glint, his determined expression reflected on his sword.

"As for you, you dirty cretin! You shall die by my sword! You will pay for what you've done to (me) my league. I will send you to the deepest pits of hell where you truly belong!"

"AHA....AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

His maddened laughter echoed on the corners of his dorm, completely unaware that somebody was watching his embarrassing display of self-entitlement and insanity.

****

Achoo! Sniff!

Cedric shook his head and shivered a bit. He looked around and released his field of senses to check if someone was plotting near him but didn't find any.

"Weird..." He muttered to himself, "It's not colds I'm sure since I'm immune to that. Somebody must be talking behind my back then? Is it the girls?"

Cedric hummed as he continued walking on the market while checking some goods. He's here to buy groceries and maybe search for interesting products.

Speaking of the girls, Erica and Chrissy just left yesterday along with the rest of their team. They said that they were off to another Outer World expedition. And even though they spent the entire yesterday snuggling under the sheets to make the most of their time, Cedric already misses them.

He's worried of course, after all, we're talking about the Outer World here — a place that had been conquered and corrupted by the demons long ago.

There are all manner of dangers out there that will threaten their lives, and even though their team is strong enough to handle what comes their way and they're sensible enough to not bite more than they could chew, he still couldn't help but be worried.

Cedric admits that he had gotten used to Erica and Chrissy's presence. Before he knew it, they already become very important to him.

And even though they never discussed it, adamant that they're still fairly young and that they shouldn't put too many responsibilities and commitments to themselves, he already sees them as his future wives (he wouldn't tell them this for now because he didn't want to pressure them, but yeah, wives).

That's why he gave them a couple of items that would, hopefully, make their time out there easier and bring them back safely.

The girls told him that their mission would take a month at the very least. It's subject to extension depending on the requirements of their department and any further developments in the field.

He knows that if he threw himself into his training, days would pass by quickly, however he feels that a month is still too long.

Shaking his head out of his reverie, he decided to go home. He didn't see anything that piqued his interest in the market aside from what's on his grocery list so there's no need to stay here anymore.

Whistling a tune as he made his way toward his dorm, he suddenly stopped and his expression crumpled.

'Tch. It's this guy again. Yeah, no. Not dealing with you today.'

Thank god for his field of senses, otherwise he would completely bump into this blabbering idiot which would certainly ruin his day.

He's referring to the guy who tried to insult him a few days ago during class. Cedric doesn't know his name and he's not interested to know but he could certainly spot an asshole if he sees one so he calls him that.

From the feedback he received from his senses, he could tell that the guy was searching for something. Focusing slightly on him, he could almost hear his thoughts.

'Oh, joy.' Cedric deadpanned inwardly, 'He's looking for me. God, if you're there, why hast thou forsaken me? Why would you let his shitstain perceive me? What did I even do?'

Groaning, he shook his head slightly. He really didn't want to deal with this guy. So, he drifted his path just to make sure that their paths wouldn't cross.

He minimized his presence to a point where he seemed no different from a mortal. He also made sure that the guy wouldn't even sense him nearby. Thankfully, his field of sense could extend very far. It helped immensely with what he wanted to do.

Meanwhile, on Alexis' side...

"Where is that cretin!?" He softly exclaimed to himself as his eyes darted around the market.

His sources told him that they saw him here, and they wouldn't dare lie to him so he's here. Unfortunately, his target was nowhere in sight.

He continued walking around, entering stores and stalls one after another in search of him to no avail. It was getting on his nerves but he kept searching.

However, even after he checked all of the places available there, his target was still nowhere in sight! How can this be!? Did those people lie to him? No, they didn't! If they did, he would be able to tell and he made sure of that!

Getting angrier and angrier as time went on, Alexis forcibly calmed himself down. He couldn't allow his anger to erupt in this public place. He tried to think logically which was rather hard for his current state but he did so nonetheless.

After a couple of minutes of thinking, his eyes suddenly brightened when he came to a conclusion.

"Ah! How could I have been so blind? He has allies! How did I not think of that? That guy's brain is too small to do all of this so he must have formed a group of like-minded fools to help him achieve his evil plans!"

His eyes then revealed a sharp glint as he warily looked at the people around him.

"As expected, he is cunning. But this means that his corruption extended to the entirety of the academy!"

"It seems that I could only rely on myself to stop him." Alexis heaved a deep breath. "No matter. I, alone, should be enough to trump him. The heavens are on my side. Why else would it make me an unparalleled genius if it wasn't?"

"Enjoy your remaining days, Little Devil. For I, Alexis Von Julis, am coming to slay you once and for all."
