“So you all don’t know where he is?” Raphael was thinking about how Alexander gained such a large subordinates
All the students shook their heads in unison
“You can go to the knights training hall.” One of the students raised his voice and waved his hand
“Can we find him there?”
"Well..." The boy hesitated for a moment, then answered. “I saw him go there a few times.”
“That's enough for me.” Rafael moved quickly towards the door
But Angelica remained in place, staring with her red eyes at the students. After a few seconds, she opened her mouth. “Can you tell me what kind of person Alexander is?”
The air inside the room froze and no one dared to answer her question
Everyone has the same impression of Alexander because they have dealt with him long enough to know what kind of person he is
Dealing with him was often difficult, and no one was spared his tongue, which was considered a double-edged sword
He even tried to strangle a student one time, and seven students had to intervene to free that poor student from Alexander's hand
The reason Alexander did so was because that student told him that he wanted to become an engineer like his father
No one knew what the problem was with that
Does he have a vendetta with engineers or something?
Therefore, everyone who worked with Alexander developed a technique in order to avoid getting a sarcastic comment from him
Every time Alexander appears, they stop doing anything and remain frozen in place
It was like playing dead when meeting a predatory beast
As long as they did nothing, Alexander could not find anything to mock
This method has proven effective
The rate of verbal attacks launched by Alexander against them decreased significantly
But middle and lower class students were living in a state of forbidden love with Alexander
On the one hand, he had a rotten and unbearable personality, and on the other hand, he was very generous towards those who worked with him.
He made sure to reward anyone who did a good job and followed his instructions
This gained him popularity among students who were struggling to pay for their studies and provide the necessary resources for training
"..." However, no one dared to express his opinion about Alexander
They were afraid of him, because he was from the Ford family, and he himself was so strong that he made everyone think twice before insulting him.
If they say any offensive words about Alexander, these people may deliver these words to Alexander personally
Then the person who spoke recklessly about Alexander will have to face the difficult challenge of escaping from Alexander's hand until he graduates from the academy.

So, as if all the students in the room had exchanged opinions via telepathy, they decided to do the same
They looked at Larry in perfect harmony to force him to speak for them
If Larry said something stupid, he would be the one to take the blame for them
"..." Larry looked around in panic when he saw that all his friends were looking at him
Do you want me to bear all this alone?.... Larry clicked his tongue cursing these unreliable friends.
Larry's mind began to search for suitable words, but he could not come up with anything acceptable
Why doesn't Alexander have any praiseable character?...Larry swallowed as he was running out of time
After some thought he decided to say something random. "He's...a good person."
"..." Are you sure you mean that?
Angelica didn't know why, but she felt that Larry had said this under pressure
She noticed the strange behavior of the students who panicked as soon as she asked them about Alexander, as if they were afraid of something.
"Come on, Angie, let's go before the sun goes down." Rafael urged her to move
Angelica nodded and followed him without saying anything
--------------
The knights' training hall was actually a very spacious hall. Although there are currently dozens of students in it, it is still clear that it can accommodate hundreds of students, and it is equipped with all the tools and weapons that students use to increase the strength of their bodies.
The warriors who primarily used the earth element were those who functioned as knights
Rafael approached a boy who was sitting on the ground and gasped for breath
The boy was wearing a light training uniform and holding a water bottle in one hand while he was wiping his sweat with a towel with his other hand
Rafael took out a picture of Alexander and placed it in front of the boy. “Hello, we are looking for this person—”
Before Raphael could complete his sentence, the student roared like a monster. "Alexander!..."
The hall that was filled with noise suddenly became silent and all the students stopped moving as they looked towards Rafael and his group.
Their looks were not pleasant at all
This is what Boris and Angelica captured
The boy rose to his feet and threw the water bottle on the ground forcefully. “Didn’t we tell him he wasn’t welcome here?”
Angelica took a step forward. "It must be a misunderstanding. We're just looking for Alexander."
“So you are looking in the wrong place.” A man was walking towards them with his hands behind his back
He was a clean-shaven man in his sixties. Although his hair had turned grey, his body was well-trained, and his clothes were unable to hide his muscles.
The Imperial Academy is not a simple place… Boris's face became serious as he looked at this man
The man looked at Boris similarly and introduced himself. “My name is Pindar, and I am the caretaker of this place.”
“I am Boris, one of the knights of the Ford family.” Boris introduced himself in a respectful tone
It was clear that this man was much stronger than him
“May I know what Alexander’s problem is with you?” Angelica asked curiously
A dark line appeared on Pindar's forehead. “Someone had to tell that brat that this place was a training hall for knights and not for ballet and gymnastics training.”
Angelica blinked, trying to understand what this meant
“This kid would come in here and tie weights to his back and start jumping around.” Pindar explained when he noticed that his words seemed vague
“I don't understand what's wrong with this...” Some mystery was revealed, but Angelica couldn't understand why they were angry.
The young man they had spoken to earlier ground his teeth. “This bastard dropped a bunch of weights on my feet, and I had to stay in the hospital for two days.”
"He made me drop the weights I was carrying..."
“He stepped on my face while he was jumping around like a monkey...”
Voices of complaints began to grow louder throughout the hall
"..." Angelica looked around in embarrassment
She didn't expect such a violent reaction
Pindar shook his head. "He hasn't been here for a while. If you want to look for him, go to one of his friends."
“Can you tell us the names of his friends?” Angelica asked quickly
They met people who hated Alexander and saw his subordinates. So she wants to see what kind of people his friends are
Pindar turned to the students. "Where is Leonard?"
“It's the locker room...” one of the students answered
“Go and bring him here.”
The student quickly went to carry out the orders
It did not take long for him to return with Leonard
“Leonard, aren’t you a friend of Alexander’s?”
“Uh…” Leonard answered Apathy, without clarifying a specific situation
Pindar pointed to Raphael. “These guys are from the Ford family and they are wondering where he is?”
"..." Do you think I'm his nanny?
Leonard didn't understand why they were coming to him
Leonard decided that the best option was not to get involved in any topic in which Alexander's name was mentioned. "I don't know where he is..."
Disappointment appeared on the face of Angelica
“Let's go look elsewhere...” Only Rafael did not lose hope and still insisted on searching for Alexander until the last moment.
But Angelica stood in front of Leonard. "How would you describe Alexander's personality?"
Angelica recognized Leonard's identity immediately
Their father told them about Maria, who was the student council president and was considered the pride of the entire Ford family
Angelica's nature was to search for all the information she needed. So when she learned about the student council, she tried to find out who the members of this council were
That's why she was able to find out about Leonard, who was the Vice President of the Student Council
This is what prompted her to ask him about his opinion of Alexander. Leonard’s arrival to the position of Student Council Vice President is evidence that he is a skilled and intelligent person.
She was sure that his opinion would be important and useful to her in knowing Alexander's character
But Leonard remained silent and did not respond to her
"Is there a problem, Mr. Leonard?" Angelica furrowed her eyebrows when she saw that Leonard's reaction was similar to that of the students she had met previously
Alexander is the problem himself...Leonard fought hard to keep those words from coming out of his mouth
He still remembers how Alexander blackmailed him and used him horribly to carry out her dirty tasks
But he couldn't tell anyone about this, especially since the people standing in front of him were from the Ford family
They might take it as an insult to the Ford family if he gave his honest opinion of Alexander
So Leonard decided to answer with something that would satisfy them. He forced himself to smile and answered. "He is a good person."
"..." I think I've heard this answer before
Angelica frowned, is Alexander really as good a person as they say?
Because they don't seem comfortable talking about Alexander, as if they are afraid of something
Are they afraid of the Ford family?
