Chapter 36: School

“It’s pointless to go against this guy. Those who can retreat, retreat. If not, then just die and respawn in one of the cities.” The player who seemed to be the leader said his orders and turned around.

He ran as fast as possible, but his back weighed the fireball!

Once he dropped onto his knees, Reylin killed him with a few more, and he hunted the players within his eyes.

Some had escaped, but he didn’t care.

There was something more important to care of, “Tehr. You enter a new world where you can experience everything literally. What do you do? Have fun, or be a petty guy who slows down others?”

“I don’t care…” Tehr replied.

He was close to the ground, one of his knees digging in. From fighting against the players, he was in quite a worn down state, and he kept breathing heavily. It also looked like someone splashed water magic on his face and body.

Reylin smiled, “But I do. I would understand one guy being such a loser, especially with how big my moves are, but the whole group? Someone must have paid them or promised items in exchange for slowing me down.”

He added, “They couldn’t come even close to me, so they have been aiming for you, knowing our contract and all. Speaking of the contract, today is the end. You are hard-worked, Tehr. A bright future is ahead of you.”

Tehr didn’t have a will to retort, and he didn’t think he would be able to verbally win against Reylin.

Reylin kept smiling, and he finally said, “You can keep the life ring.”

“Can I… really?” Tehr’s eyes rose, and he looked at Reylin in a new light!

That ring was a carefully crafted masterpiece for the noble’s content. It looked out of the place in Tehr’s rough hand, but the green jewel was what mattered the most.

This jewel allowed Tehr to keep grinding levels, and it healed him for every monster he killed. Moreover, Tehr also received some stamina back, and he could work for Reylin nonstop.

Had it been any other day, Tehr would have been laughing and screaming with joy as that was one of the high-level rings! It wasn’t even used to the most of its ability because Tehr lacked level!

It would accompany him for a long time, and he was already feeling close to it!

Reylin shrugged, “You are just stupid, and you made a mistake. I punished you for that, and I know that we all make mistakes. Keep that ring, but should you mention it to someone else and tell them that I was the one to give it to you, then I will take it back after killing you a few times.”

A cold shiver went down Tehr’s spine, and he swore to not reveal the ring’s origin!

And in such a way, one month of the gaming world ended for both Reylin and Tehr.

–

“It’s school tomorrow, young master. It’s good you have returned earlier,” Sebastian’s voice assaulted Reylin after he put away his VR Helmet.

Reylin just slowly looked to the side and replied, “Yeah.”

Sebastian didn’t ask for more.

His young master attended the school without any fuss, and he always listened in the classes. Just from that, Reylin received good scores in school, and no one from his family could be not satisfied with him.

It was worse when some people picked up on him.

Reylin used another surname in the school. Many students failed to understand how Reylin attending such a prestigious school could bring the lighter and even play with it during the lessons!

This started many disasters, and one particular teacher suffered similar heart attacks like Sebastian did in the past.

Those who didn’t know Reylin’s surname suffered as well.

Because anyone who knew either mitigated the damage or didn’t touch Reylin at all.

“I will go for the exchange program.”

“Exchange… program?” Sebastian blinked his eyes, not believing what he had just heard!

“I should spend more time with normal people.”

After replying, Reylin left his room and greeted Hania. He casually commented on her work, then went to the bathroom.

He did the usual routine, and at last, the school approached…

It was Reylin’s last year, and in two months, he also would be eighteen years old.

Reylin didn’t mind changing his life for such an occasion, and the game had already changed him greatly.

He woke up and had Sebastian drive him to the school.

Many butlers and maids opened the cars’ doors, and students with particularly wealthy aura left those.

Their eyes shifted to Reylin, who became quite a known figure on social media.

He was the pyromaniac, but many people on the net had painted him as the guy who just liked the fire element the best. However, many students here knew that this guy was just unleashed in another world, and they even thought he would become much calmer here due to it.

His indifference was the same, but who knew?

Soon, the class started, and the teacher said what was ahead of the third year. That first day was nothing but the talk about the future and other school staff. Of course, the exchange program would soon come out.

“Are any of you interested in the exchange program?” The teacher asked.

“I am,” Reylin finally said something.

The teacher’s eyes shifted to him for the first time. For the whole lesson, he had been avoiding Reylin! That teacher knew Reylin’s real surname, and he would never dare to punish him!

He always backed up Reylin, and his bomb revenge turned into bomb accidents, all due to this teacher’s silver tongue.

He shivered, and many just thought the teacher was scared of Reylin.

It was partially true, but Reylin’s background was more intimidating.

“I didn’t expect… that, Reylin… But, are you sure?” The teacher asked, inwardly crying.

Who would cover up all the mess in the regular school? That was a totally different environment, and the public would quickly learn about this certain pyromaniac! With Reylin’s game fame, people would realize that he was the same in both worlds.

Even now, Reylin played with a lighter and kept his eyes on the dancing fire, “Lion Vis will also come with me. Arrange the same school for us, and I can go even tomorrow.”

Hearing another surname, the teacher’s eyes left his eye sockets, and he nearly stumbled without even moving…

That Lion surname was a known rival family to the crowns.

The poor teacher imagined the worst, and he inwardly shouted, ‘Are they going to fight in the normal school?! Why not here?! the principal and I would be able to cover everything! Oh god… Oh god…’

His heartbeat reached a dangerous rate, and the teacher just nodded and excused himself. He did enough paperwork and calls in the teacher’s room, then asked another teacher to pass the news.

In an hour, he would drive to the hospital in an ambulance due to a heart attack.

“Teaching is really a stressful job. We all don’t appreciate them enough,” Reylin said on his way back home.

Vis was behind him as they were still in the school, “Aren’t you the cause?” In this world, Vis had black hair, and he seemed far from the calm one.

The black hair somehow made him seem aggressive.

Reylin waved his hand, “That’s the paid vacation for him. For all the mess he had to cover, I asked my elder brother to look after him. That’s more than enough to keep him alive.”

“Miracle Doctor? At least you have some conscience,” Vis replied, and they both parted after he had blatantly shared his dissatisfaction, “You really pulled me to the exchange program.”

“Deal with it.”

The teacher’s topic was dropped, but they all knew the old man was in good hands! That was how big ‘The Miracle Doctor’ from the Crown Family was.

–

In one of many schools, all years were quite loud.

The second years especially, as the exchange students turned out to be the third years! Two wealthy and possibly handsome students would soon come to their school. For them, those students weren’t their age, nor were they younger, so it was just too perfect.

Many ladies gossiped on the break, and they looked forward to seeing the two new students.

“Last year, we had a second-year student from that school. He was John, and he was quite a funny guy. He liked to have girls around, and he took them to the city after school. He didn’t spare his money, and his gifts made many roll in jealousy… Those bitches still wear the luxury bags to this day!”

“They look brand new too. I am sure they take care more of those rather than themselves! We can’t be worse, can we? These two will be ours!”

“Oh, they will be!”

The girls were ready for some school romance.

They were too ready, though! Many male second-years looked at those with fear rippling in their eyes as the girls turned into predators!

Not every second-year girl was like that, however.

In one of the classes, a lady with long black hair daydreamed while feeling the soft breeze on her face. She wasn’t alone, and a big girl stood behind her. Many other girls also casually spoke to her.

“Did you hear them? I hope those wealthy students will turn out to be some fat guys. I just want to see their heartbroken faces,”

“That would be… funny…” The big lady shyly replied.

“What is our Cute Bear thinking about?” At last, the girls teemed around the daydreaming lady and asked her out loud.

Cute Bear, Maya, turned her eyes to them and said, “I want to play the game!”

“I heard you wanted to play the solo, but you ended up calling Julia and others.”

“Our Cute Bear can not be alone.”

“Right?”

Hearing all those words, Maya just pursed her lips and retracted her eyes. She kept those outside and looked toward the school gates.

Her classmates didn’t lie, though.

She became Ferocious Bear because of her school nickname, and she wanted to play solo for real! But, Maya ended up becoming the hero, and she needed trustworthy players!

Her party consisted of classmates and friends.

Although no one dared to mention her school nickname, Maya wasn’t alone, nor was she that ferocious like she’d imagined herself while putting in the nickname.

The development was unexpected, but those unexpected ones often turned out the best.

Now, Maya’s eyes widened as she noticed the two students coming in… “They are here…” The two students came in.

And though one had the black hair, the other was the same as in the game!

Maya felt like someone had pulled some tricks at her, and she rubbed her eyes.

However, other students didn’t need to do it, “That’s… The Red Sky!”

While the girls’ eyes twinkled with excitement as the two handsome boys with fat wallets entered the school, the boys and a few gamer girls raised their hands to the sky, “The Red Sky… Oh…”

“Oh…”

They even ‘moaned’ like Reylin, and the unaware girls and students asked with odd eyes, “Are you high or something?”

“What high?! You don’t know about The Red Sky?” The student fished out the phone, and he showed the clip.

“The Red Sky… Oh…”

“Oh…”

“Wait for a second! Isn’t Cute Bear here? Rewind!”

“Well… Now that you say it…”

All eyes shifted to Ferocious Bear, and seeing her rubbing her eyes, diabetes struck every classmate. They stared at Maya, and strangely enough, all the ladies’ focus shifted to Vis, leaving Reylin alone.

Vis sneezed, “Am I getting sick?” He hoped for the least problems here, but the majority of hyenas would focus on him!
