3 MINUTES LATER

BACK AT THE INSTITUTE

"What?" Alex, who had been spending the last minute staring intently at the phenomena in the sky, could not help but whisper this word to himself as he witnessed what had just happened.

"….So Delia and Sir Xote fought each other, and from the looks of it, Delia was about to win. Maybe she tried using Temperance. After all, that is quite effective on someone like Sir Xote." Alex muttered to himself as he remembered the sudden disappearance of the black lotus. "Once that happened, Delia swooped in to kill Sir Xote. But it was at that point that General Glaivewood appeared."

"A few seconds after he arrived at that place, I felt the fluctuations of a power similar to the one used by General Glaivewood before. The appearance of this power meant that Delia and General Glaivewood were about to fight each other too."

"But that was when Ray appeared." Alex almost bit his lip as an expression of disgust appeared on his face. He seemed to be unhappy just by mentioning Ray's name and he did not bother to hide it at all.

"That man…I am sure that he activated 100 f**king explosives right above Delia and General Glaivewood!" Alex snarled to himself as he remembered the massive explosions that he witnessed just earlier.

The horrifying power and effects of these explosions were seen clearly by Alex's bare eyes, and the only thing that he could do was watch as the whole place where Delia was in got decimated into nothingness.

Only a large void of space and hazardous chemicals remained on that area, leaving everyone who witnessed it on a shocked state.

All the teachers and students who saw these explosions could only huddle with each other in fear, as they could feel that something wrong is happening here.

 Their desire to leave the Institute was almost non-existent at this point, as the impact of those explosions were just too much for them bear.

"F**k…. I thought today will just be a normal infiltration day. I thought it will be my time to shine… How could it have turned out like this?" Alex complained to himself inwardly as he listed all the wrong things that happened right now.

[Delia could be possibly dead]: Check.

[The two Generals who I can use as hostages are possibly dead too]: Check.

[The whole world is now in heightened alert because of Delia and Ray's actions]: Check.

[Emperor Litch could possibly be alerted by all these events]: Check.

[Whatever Ray and Malthus are planning could have succeeded already]: Check.

[What Delia and I are planning is still not achieved]: Check

At the face of these many checks on his list, Alex could only scratch his head as he let out a frustrated sigh. With just one look, he knew that the whole world has now plunged in chaos.


"With all the things that Delia and Ray had done already, there is no doubt that the security in this world would be heightened. Aside from that, there is a chance that Emperor Litch will also come here. After all, two of the Travelers that he had met before had suddenly appeared. There's no way he will let this just pass…" Alex muttered to himself as he tried to keep himself calm.

"F**k…"

But no matter how much Alex tried to keep himself calm, he still could not stop the indignance that he is feeling right now.

After all, everything that Alex had carefully planned had now gone into ruin, brought down by the recklessness of his allies and enemies. Can he still go on with what he is planning after the stunt that Delia and Ray pulled? It is almost highly unlikely.

Not only that, but he is still obligated to save Delia, who he senses as still alive. With the agreement that he made with her before, Alex will have to save Delia, especially now that she had just been attacked by a powerful opponent. To not give her help will be bad for Alex, and it will just make everything worse for him.

"F**k, I already did everything that I can. The Cosmic Guard will arrive here in at most 12 hours, which should be the time window for my plan. But because of Delia and Ray, that time window will be drastically reduced!" Alex thought to himself as he began pacing on his place.

He ignored the strange looks given to him by the other people as he engrossed himself with his deductions.

"Knowing the attitude of Emperor Litch, there is a chance that he will arrive here in just an hour. That is, if he came from the capital himself." Alex thought sourly as he cupped his chin. "If that Emperor is on a much nearer place, which is highly likely, then he will arrive here in a much earlier time… F**k, if this is really the case, then I only have at least 30-60 minutes to execute my plans!"

At this point, Alex resisted the urge to clutch his hair, as he knew that keeping his persona right now is still an important thing to do.

So even if he was already stressed, the only thing that he can do was to give his companions a tight smile as he began walking out of the room.

Instead of becoming worried, Alex knew that he should quickly think of something to remedy his problem. Even if it takes all of his mental power to think of a solution, Alex will still do it, as this is the only thing that he can do now.

"Ugh…. If I only have 30 minutes left until that Emperor arrives, then that means that I should finish my plan within 30 minutes. That's the only thing that I can do with my current state. There's nothing else that can change this situation…" Alex thought to himself numbly as he ignored the people that he almost bumped along his way. "If I don't do this, then I don't know what else I can do to fulfill the Main Mission…"

As he reached this conclusion in his mind, Alex's face quickly crumpled, as he began to doubt if this is even feasible.

"F**k! Can I do all the things that I had to do within this limited timespan? Can I actually accomplish my plan with just 30 minutes of leeway? F**k!" Alex shouted inwardly to himself as he kept his breathing even. "Ugh, why did you have to fight today Delia? Why didn't you just do it on other days? You're just making it hard for everyone here!"

Alex could have continued thinking of his dilemma at this point, but before he could plunge his mind on the deeper consequences of today's events, he was interrupted by someone who suddenly tapped his shoulder.

"Mister Alexander. You seem to be acting weird. Is there any problem?" Wisteria, whose left hand was clasped tightly above Alex's right shoulder, said as she talked to him with a neutral tone.

There was pure curiosity on her face as she peered at Alex. She ignored the sudden glower that Alex gave her as she kept on staring at him, making it apparent that she was waiting for her answer.

"You don't need to know what I am thinking now, Miss Wisteria. I am busy, so you should just let me be." Alex replied tersely as he brushed of Wisteria's arms. "Don't you have to attend to your students? Instead of coming here, why don't you just come back to them and help them out? You're their teacher, so go and appease them!"

"Mr. Alexander, in case that you have forgotten it, let me tell it to you once more. You are now an assistant teacher, and you are also assigned on my students." Wisteria replied evenly under the scorching stare that Alex just gave her. "That means that you must be with them right now, as it is also your responsibility to help them out. Surely you won't be that heartless to leave them alone, right? After all, you told me that you are a good teacher…."

"You-"

Alex was about to use his mouth to reject Wisteria's demand for him to work, but a sudden flash of idea inside his head made him stop his words.

"Hm? Are you about to say something to me, Mister Alexander?"

"Yes, I will say something to you. Just give me some moments." Alex replied quickly as he waved his hand nonchalantly. "I… I just thought of something good."

"Good? Hmph, now you are sounding suspicious again." Wisteria snorted as she crossed her arms. "I can see it. You are planning something again…"

"…."

"See? You're even staying quiet now… That's clearly suspicious!" Wisteria whispered in an urgent manner as she stared at Alex. "You, you are making a plan right now. Don't you deny that."

"A plan? You really are suspicious of me, Wisteria. I would never… think of something like that right now." Alex replied calmly as he smiled. "See? I am smiling innocently right now. Isn't this the smile of a sincere person? How can you even doubt me like this?"

"Doubt you? Mr. Alexander, just a few seconds earlier, you looked like a person who had his parents die in an accident! But after you had this 'I had an idea' expression on your face, you appeared happy again!" Wisteria blurted as she pointed her finger at Alex's chin. "It's already obvious, ok? You have a large problem which made you so helpless and angry. But after you talked to me, you appeared to have found a solution to your problem. And now, you are about to use this solution to solve your problem…."

"…"

"As for what the solution is, I do not know. But I think that- wait. There's something wrong with the timing of you getting your solution…" At this point, the confident-looking Wisteria began to look at Alex warily as she remembered their conversation earlier.

"You…. You had this 'eureka' expression on your face when I told you about the students. I can remember it. You… you had a reaction after I told you to go and help them."

"…"

"Mr. Alexander, you're not planning to use the kids on whatever you are planning right?" Wisteria hesitantly said as she gave Alex a timid stare. The previous curiosity that she had earlier was now gone, as she could only give Alex a pleading look.

"Mr. Alexander, even if these kids are just brats who served to irritate me every day, they are still people that we should help. Right now, they are anxious and waiting for someone to calm them down. Mr. Alexander, what they need now are our comfort and assistanc-"

"Miss Wisteria. Since you want me to go to your students, then bring me there already." Alex said brightly as he widened his smile. "Those kids need comfort, so I will provide them with all the comfort that they need! That's the least that they deserve here!"

"Mr. Alexander, please-"

"Why are you still delaying us? Let' go to your students already." Alex cut-off Wisteria's words as he continued smiling at her. "Just like what you said, I am also their teacher, so I must appease them…"

"…"
