Chapter 67: Introductions
Anthony could be seen walking in the hallway to his classroom as his coat and hair billowed as he walked.
He radiated a gentle prince charming aura that made anyone passing by impossible to ignore him or not see him.
His colleagues from other classes were walking to their own class but they all stopped to look at Anthony, he was simply too dashing.
They all commented and spoke to each other as Anthony walked by with grace.
The girls in one corner whispering to one another as they blushed and waved at him.
"How can such face exist"
"This is literally my prince charming, the white hair, the white coat, only a white horse is needed and my dream would be complete"
"Should I ask him out now that he is single"
"I would propose to him soon, don't dare make a move"
"I have to convince my father to sell the family business so I can pay a groom price, nobody can snatch him from me"
"Not before I make a move first"
"I need an alchemist to make a love portion for me, then we would travel together and save the world from the Demon king"
"Maybe I should try falling and he would catch me as I fall"
"Come on girl, you are a C ranker, it would be a disgrace to suddenly fall and not even catch yourself on top of that"
"Girl forget all those nonsense, in the face of love what is a disgrace, besides if I fall into my knight in shining armor arms who would dare laugh at me or our love"
"Such muscles, I want a man with such muscles"
"Then head to the Titan domain and leave him for us girl"
"Those new seven other guys in the top 20 are so handsome too, but everytime I see Anthony they suddenly become ugly"
As the girls talked, the boys were in another corner whispering too.
"This guy would seriously make us graduate single yo"
"I mean such face, height, money, elegance, and power, any girl would pick him over us"
"The more I see this guy the more I think sexuality is indeed a spectrum, maybe I am gay or bisexual"
"Look at you saying you are gay or bisexual after sleeping with every woman in all brothels you could find, leave him to the truly gay ones like me"
"He is still single and there is no news of him being with any woman unlike other young masters, maybe he is secretly gay, so we might have a high chance at getting him for ourselves"
"You idiots are indeed salivating over another man huh"
"Says the person that stared at Anthony the longest"
"With the stupid face he possess why won't I look, I am freaking jealous"
"Didn't they say he became lazy, how come he is still rank one"
"Maybe you go ask him, you really think someone with such face and from a top family would be lazy"
"Let us pray he doesn't snatch all the girls in the top ten for himself"
Anthony smiled and was happy as he heard the girls conversation about him, them calling him prince charming and everything, but he didn't show any thing on his face or eyes, he still kept his poker face.
'Maybe I should get a white horse like the other girl said and I'm sure one of them would propose by then' Anthony thought as he walked.
Then he heard the boys conversation and his poker face he put on nearly cracked because of what he heard.
'What do you mean I am secretly gay, you are the gay one, your entire family tree is gay, your ancestors are gay' Anthony screamed in his heart as he walked.
He has nothing against gay people, but the topic of him not having a woman is a very sensitive and personal topic to him, he is on the verge of being single in two lives in two different worlds but someone actually dared to say he is secretly gay.
'I better not hear that again or I will break your legs immediately' Anthony cursed in his mind.
Earlier he didn't want to teleport from his room to the classroom door like he always does.
He decided to walk to class for the first time today so that some ladies can see him and confess and his love arc can begin but someone jumped out and said he was gay.
'it seems I have to leave here immediately before another person says something more outrageous' Anthony thought, then he disappeared from the hallway immediately.
Anthony arrived at the S classroom door as usual, he looked at the time and saw he was twenty minutes early, he nodded then opened the door to enter.
Anthony pushed open the door without even using his hand, he walked in with one hand in his pocket like he owned the world.
Everyone tilted their heads as the door opened, everyone knew who came in as the door opened as he was the only one missing.
Anthony's eyes landed on nineteen of his classmates and just looked at them with a poker face and gentle F- rank aura.
Anthony sighed inwardly as he already knew this would happen.
'No matter how early I come these guys seem to always be here before me, imagine always being on time and never late but you are consider a latecomer cause of others actions'
He walked without a single pause in his footsteps and went to his normal seat that was always behind the class and empty as everyone knew he sat there.
Well, not everyone, when the ten subordinate came in, Clement sat on Anthony's seat and tried to be inconspicuous, but was told by another ranker that Anthony always sat there, so he left the seat immediately
Anthony sat down and looked out the window as the thirty eight eyes didn't leave him.
Even Bringer who was trying to ask Vivian out whistled at Anthony's charm as it was indeed too much.
Out of everyone, Bryan and Tiara stared the longest and hardest, they weren't staring like they were appreciating his face or clothing, they were trying to stare into his soul and know what secret he has that even ten new dark horses couldn't even make him drop a rank even after catching everyone off guard.
They tried asking their respective masters, The Dean and the Vice president, what secret could Anthony possibly possess to make him so abnormal...special, but they were shot down by the Dean and the Vice president before they could even speak further.
After Bringer admired Anthony's style of clothing and charms, he started imagining the amount of food he and his brother would get from Anthony, the storm brother were titans, they were ready to eat an entire cafeteria if they were really allowed to.
Spectre stood up from his seat and walked to the back side of the classroom as he headed for Anthony's seat.
Everyone's eyes followed Spectre trying to see what he would do, asides nine people here the rest thought that Spectre was going to challenge Anthony or something, so they wanted to see a show while having one thought in their minds
'Only if he knew who that Demon is'
Spectre got to Anthony's seat and introduced himself and extending his hand for a handshake.
"My name is Spectre, I am ranked Fourth here, well I am hoping to change that rank soon and move higher, would love us to be friends if you allow it" Spectre said with a smile on his handsome face.
Anthony who was still looking outside the window turned his head to Spectre with an expressionless face like he didn't know who spectre is.
To others Spectre was trying to be fake friends with Anthony while finding out his secrets then taking Anthony's rank from him right under Anthony's nose.
Anthony shook spectre's hand and said with a smile of his own.
"Sure, the more friends the merrier they say, I believe I don't need an introduction, do I"
"No you don't, everyone knows who you are, even other students from other classes are already calling you king of Humans, Apex of the first year and all that" said spectre as he sat down beside Anthony.
Although it was an S classroom that need only needs twenty people, the Academy won't build somewhere to actually hold twenty people, the classroom was literally a hall made to hold hundreds of people.
No one has ever sat down beside Anthony, not even the Storm brothers who are on good terms with Anthony, so when everyone saw Spectre actually dared to sit near Anthony they were stunned.
It wasn't like Anthony told anyone not to sit on the row he sat on or anything, it was just that everyone just avoided each other here and didn't come to make friends as they were trying to snatch each other's rank.
If not for Bringer who seemed like a straight forward kind of guy, Anthony won't even be friends with the Storm brothers.
"Well since the more the merrier, I would have to introduce myself and become a friend too"
Vivian's cold voice resonated in the classroom as she spoke, she stood up from her seat and climed to Anthony's sitting area and introduced herself just like Spectre did.
"The name's Vivian, Rank Two" she said again as she stretched her hand for a handshake.
Anthony smiled again and reciprocated the greeting like he did with Spectre.
Then Vivian went ahead and sat down next to Spectre who was next to Anthony.
The other people in the class were left speechless of what was happening.
Before they could even digest what was happening, Evelyn's peaceful voice sounded from the front
"Well since the more the merrier"
And just like that all of Anthony's subordinates took advantage of Spectre's opening and Anthony's words and walked up to him and introduced themselves.
And they all sat on a single row with him as if the class was now divided by race and the humans were banding together.
Anthony laughed at his subordinates antics, they already said they would become friends somehow, but he didn't he didn't see this particular scene happening.
He shook his head and continued smiling as he looked out the window looking at the sky.
The door of the classroom opened and twenty pairs of eyes shifted from their original position to the door as they know who just came in as it was already time.
