Alexander left his room and began to sluggishly move through the corridors of the academy's administration building

There was no dormitory for students at this academy, so they could only provide a simple room in the academy's administration building

Alexander did not object to this decision

As long as there are four walls and something that can be considered a bed, everything will be okay

But he couldn't stay there any longer because of the gloomy atmosphere that had fallen over that place due to the nightmare he had experienced last night.

So he decided to go for a short walk and buy something from the vending machine near this building

Alexander came out of the main gate of the building and took a deep breath to rejuvenate himself, then whispered, “It would be perfect if I could have a cup of tea.”

During these times, he missed Alfred, who was an artist in making tea

It was very early for morning classes so no one would be around for a while

This makes it an ideal time to enjoy a short tour away from the eyes

The only problem was that the cafeteria was closed which made it difficult to get breakfast or a cup of tea

He moved slowly with his eyes towards the vending machine, emptying his mind of any strange thoughts and instead all he was concerned about was what he should eat now while waiting for the cafeteria to open its doors.

Alexander stood in front of the vending machine and carefully examined every product in it

But he frowned because he couldn't identify any of these products in the vending machine, which meant that they were low-quality products from unknown companies.

".." Wait a minute, since when did I become so picky?

He realizes that he has become very demanding after living in luxury for a long time as a young master of a rich noble family

Even after the Ford family cut off money from him, he was able to save money from other sources, so he has not suffered from a lack of money since he moved into this world.

This has enabled him to obtain high quality products from internationally known companies

“Sigh...” Alexander placed his hand on the vending machine and lowered his head tiredly, “The life of rich people is really difficult...”

In the end, he chose a random chocolate bar and took a small bite to examine its taste, “Hmm, not bad at all.”

Alexander turned to find a place to sit while eating his food quietly, but he stopped when he felt that there was someone watching him from several meters away.

There stood a young man with reddish-blonde hair and red eyes. He was wearing a Varvatos Academy uniform. His uniform was exaggeratedly neat, like an ideal son of a rich family, and even his hairstyle was elegant.

This young man was not even trying to hide himself, and stood in an exposed place, looking at Alexander skeptically

This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

Finally, the young man approached Alexander and asked in a respectful voice, “Sir, are you a student here?”

Alexander looked at him sideways and replied in an emotionless voice, “Isn’t that obvious?”

The young man looked at Alexander up and down with a look on his face that said 'Is this a joke?'

Alexander looked down and realized that he was wearing his pajamas instead of his academic uniform

".." So that's why he looked at me as someone who had escaped from the madhouse

Alexander smiled embarrassedly, “I was about to go and change my clothes.”

Alexander couldn't help but curse his luck inwardly

He didn't expect any student to come here so early in the morning

Even the instructors and staff haven't come here yet

Why was this brat here?

“How did you get in here wearing these clothes?” Doubts increased in the young man's eyes as he carefully examined Alexander

But suddenly his eyes widened and he pointed at Alexander in surprise, “You are the new student who recently moved here.”

Alexander raised his guard when this young man suddenly recognized him, so he asked cautiously, “You know me?”

A strange smile appeared on the boy's face, "Not many boys get the chance to walk with the number one beauty in the academy."

“You're talking about Charlotte?” Alexander couldn't help but think of Charlotte when this boy pointed out the number one beauty in the academy

In addition, Charlotte was the only person who accompanied him on his tour around the academy, so Alexander did not think of anyone other than her who matched this young man's words.

The young man let out a malicious laugh, “You have become the public enemy of all the academy boys because of this, and there are those who were thinking of challenging you to a duel.”

".." All this because I walked a few hours with Charlotte?

The young man extended his hand towards Alexander and introduced himself, “I am Isaac Lippincott.”

“Marco Polo...” Alexander shook Isaac's hand while looking at Isaac warily, thinking that he was one of those boys who were hostile towards him.

"Don't worry, I'm not one of those guys who can't control their hormones." Isaac raised his hand to reassure Alexander

“Oh…” Alexander nodded, but he couldn’t believe it

"But you didn't tell me why you are wearing these clothes here." Isaac crossed his arms, still confused about Alexander's appearance

"That's not a big problem, I'll go change my clothes right now." Alexander pointed to the administration building behind him

“You live there?” Isaac turned his eyes in surprise towards the academy's administration building

“Yes...” Alexander didn't bother coming up with an excuse

"..." Did you know that that building is not a hotel?

Isaac did not understand how a student could rent a room in the academy's administration building

Alexander rubbed his fingers with a devious smile, “You can live wherever you want if you have the money.”

".." Then why don't you live in a palace if you have this money?

Isaac himself was from another country, so he currently lives in a house that his family bought for him to live in during his student years

So if Alexander is a foreign student and really has a lot of money, he should buy a house in this city or at least rent an apartment.

The matter of living in the academy's administration building was so strangely ironic that he suspected Alexander was lying

But Alexander moved in front of him and entered the academy's administration building without any hesitation

Ten minutes later, Alexander emerged from the building wearing a uniform with his weapon hanging on his waist

Isaac stared at it all in silence

But he quickly regained his senses, “I didn’t expect this...”

“Yes, there are a lot of strange things...” Alexander adjusted his clothes slightly, showing his unwillingness to continue this conversation

“Okay...” Isaac decided to back off after the situation became awkward, "I have important things to attend to at the Student Council...”

Then he waved towards Alexander, “See you later...”

See you later?... Alexander looked at Isaac's back, who was gradually moving away from him until he disappeared among the trees of the garden.

He wasn't planning on meeting this man again, because he wasn't the type he liked to socialize with

“You didn't have to tell him that you lived in the academy's administration building...” A voice came from behind Alexander

"It doesn't matter..." Alexander shrugged indifferently

But his expression froze for a moment and he slowly turned his head towards the vending machine

Did this vending machine just talk?... Alexander's body shook with goosebumps and he put his hand on his weapon defensively.

A small door opened on one side of the vending machine and a man rolled out of it without warning

The man rose to his feet, dusted off his black jacket, and introduced himself. “I am Officer Swanson.”

Swanson was a man who appeared to be in his late forties. He has blond hair with some gray streaks that indicate his advanced age, and an ordinary face that would not be recognizable if placed in a crowd of people.

Alexander could immediately recognize Swanson by his voice

But the question is...

".." Why was this man hiding inside the vending machine?

Noticing Alexander's confusion, Swanson offered an explanation, "Actually, this is one of the sites that has been set up to monitor this place."

Alexander put his hand on his forehead in unprecedented shock, “This is genius...”

The vending machine was powered by aura stones, so Alexander was unable to detect Swanson's presence

The hunter's instinct would be activated if Alexander felt that there were eyes watching him with bad intentions

Or if the person observing him emits a type of energy such as aura or vitae

So, in the case of Swanson, who had no bad intentions, at the same time he was hiding in the snack vending machine, and therefore the aura coming out of his body was mixed with the aura that the vending machine was running on.

Given that he was unable to detect Swanson's presence, Alexander was able to conclude that this mixing of auras was the main reason why his hunter's instinct was unable to detect Swanson, even though he was a few steps away from him.

“Okay,” Swanson rubbed his cheek at Alexander’s compliment, “Thanks, I guess...”

Alexander still wasn't out of his shock yet

He didn't know whether he should praise this man for his creativity, or whether he should worry about his eccentricities.

“...” Is being a weirdo one of the requirements for joining the Imperial Intelligence?

First there was Kelly and now this Swanson

Imperial Intelligence was definitely a gathering place for weirdos
