Chapter 133: In The Hospital (Part-7) (1/2)

“Hey! I didn’t expect you to get discharged so early!” Naomi says, getting up from the couch excitedly. She checks out my body from top to bottom— as if scanning it— with a sly and slightly lascivious smile on her face.

“Yes, you’re perfectly fine!” She declares.

“The doctor just told me that… Anyway, what are you doing here?” I ask rather rudely.

Listening to my unfiltered tone towards the white goddess, Layla and Maya, who already looks a bit scared of her, gasps lightly. As for Zakira, she just looking at Naomi with a frown, not a trace of respect on her face either.

Well, in my defense, after that bunny girl, Mia, attacked me the other day, I don’t feel the need to be polite to Naomi anymore. I don’t care that she’s a goddess, I don’t care that she can demolish me with just a flick of her finger (though I hope she doesn’t actually do it)— she’s not getting worshipped by me.

“Ah, nothing much. Just on some official school business,” she answers airily.

“What official school business?” I inquire further.

Naomi raises her eyebrows.

“Nosy guy, aren’t you? Well, as this is somewhat related to you, I guess I can share some information,” Naomi says, nodding thoughtfully.

“It’s about that boy, Alex. Do you know why he seemed so promising at Magic? Why his spells are more powerful than any other students?” she asks, looking at me with a weirdly playful smile.

…

Wait, it sounds like that Naomi found Alex’s abilities abnormal as well. This is my chance to find out the truth!

“He leveled up in his system… I guess?” I answer wonderingly.

Of course, I have pondered about it, and this is the only reason I could think of. Everyone got the Core stone bracelets, and even though they were corrupted, there shouldn’t be any power fluctuations within them— that means, no one should be able to extract more power from the bracelets than the limit.

So basically, only by leveling up, Alex could have used the double elemental magic and have even more power in his spells than I do.

“Good guess, but no. Let me give you another hint,” Naomi says, clearly enjoying this like a game now.

“Did you notice that Alex always used fire magic? No matter who or what element he faced against in the competition, he never switched to anything other than different variations of fire magic,” She says.

…

Wait, even I noticed this during our duel! At that moment, I was just so relieved about the fact that he’s not hitting me with other elements that I didn’t give it much thought.

But then, the only possibility is… Wow…

“His system is related to the fire element, isn’t it?” I say, shaking my head as I finally understand the mystery behind Alex’s power.

“Yup! That’s why, even though others were shocked by his “talent” at Magic, I never put that guy in my eyes. While he’s got a rare and powerful system, his actual magical abilities are way below average,” she says with a shrug.

Damn… No wonder he could control fire so precisely. Thank god we drugged him that day at the brothel, or I don’t want to think what would’ve happened.

“I see… But still, why are you here now? That guy’s already going to jail. Even if he’s cheated in the tournament, there’s nothing much you can do about it,” I tell her.

What would the school send Naomi now?

“Fufufu… I just have two things to say to you: fire and the school-building,” She answers with a small laugh.

… What the fuck!!?

“Alex was the one who set the school building on fire!?” I ask in shock.

“Yup, and I knew about it from the beginning. His magic signatures were all over the place when I was extinguishing the fire,” Naomi nods.

Damn… That bastard took things to a whole new scale this time.

“But if you knew about it, then why didn’t you report it before?” I ask, confused.

“Simply because at first, I thought it was just an accident. The system ceremony was just a few days before that incident, so I deduced that Alex might’ve had a misfire one of his spells or something— it can happen with the best of us, let alone a kid who just acquired his system,” She answers.

“So, I decided to save him and even offered to fix the burned building for free. I thought that I am just saving a poor, innocent kid. Well, the incident this time just shows how wrong I was.

“That guy’s been testing my patience for a long time now and I was finally forced to believe that that wasn’t an accident— Alex burned the building just for fun. And thus, taking everything into consideration, I don’t mind reporting against him and adding a few more years to his sentence,” she says happily.

Of course, there was no freaking accident…

Even though I have no proof, I am almost sure Alex must’ve been trying to show off to his goon-friends that day, resulting in the school fire.

“Well, another great news! I hope he rots in prison for a very long time,” I say with a satisfied smile, winking at my women.

“Me too! On this happy note, why don’t you come with me for a second? I need to talk to you in private,” Naomi continues cheerfully.

And before I could even say anything, she vanishes into thin air and appears directly in front of me. Then, hooking her arm into mine, she starts dragging me away.

What surprises me, even more, is that none of my women protests or even look back as I get dragged away— as is nothing strange is happening. Similarly, the hospital staff doesn’t notice anything either.
