The following day, Ray returned to the school as if nothing big had happened.

  If it was to follow the usual routines, today would be the first contact between Alan and the Class monitor, and in the afternoon, Alan would be invited into lunch by Isabel.

  Even just by looking at Alan's face, Ray already knew that something good had recently happened to him.

  Unfortunately for Alan, he would never think that his first friend was actually such a bastard who scheme behind him, and Isabel would not ask him for lunch today.

  After getting the haunted incident, Ray was unsure whether Isabel could even remember the promise with Alan anymore. She was now too frightened with the ghost and adding that satanic symbol both in her body and wardrobe. Ray was confident that she was now hiding in her bed, waiting for some paranormal to come and help her to exorcist the ghost.

  Fun fact, even though it was already one hundred years in the future, and the Spirit beast was already popular everywhere, people still believe in ghosts. And Paranormal was surprisingly a solid occupation here.

  Ray greeted Alan like a good friend, and the two chatted for a while.

  Of course, Ray still played it moderately. He wanted Alan to trust him as his right-hand man. However, he didn't want the fact that he was Alan's best friend to be widespread in the whole school, making him also a target of the Villain.

  A few minutes later, when the class monitor arrived, Ray said goodbye to Alan and back to his chair while reminding him not to be that close to the class monitor for his own safety.

  However, who do you think Alan was? For a protagonist like him, the more he was told not to get close to someone, the more challenged he felt.

  Alan found the time that Ray was not looking and sneakily went behind the class monitor.

  " *Cough-Cough* Beauty, could I bother to know your name."

  Alan's sudden appearance startled the class Monitor a bit. She looked in the direction of the voice and seeing that it was Alan, a smile appeared on her face.

  " Oh, it's just you, Alan. My name is Haruka, but everyone else normally calls me the class monitor."

  Haruka was a pretty outgoing girl. Therefore, except for the Villain who continuously harasses her, she would definitely not reject Alan's attempt to get to know her.

  While Alan and the class monitor were getting to know each other, would Ray really just let them be without doing anything?

  Hahaha, heck no.

  Ray was smirking because his plans worked without any hitch until now.

  He used one of the camouflage item skills to just reduce his presence and took a photo of Alan and the Class monitor chatting happily at a slightly ambiguous angle.

  From this angle, the two look so much closer, and Ray was satisfied with his photo.

  He opened his anonymous We-Chat and sent a message to the Villain, containing the photo of Alan and the Class Monitor, and some provocative words.

  These past few days, when Alan hasn't come to the school yet, Ray had used some of his time to find clues about the Villain. The Villain's number, address, preference, and etc. Ray noted everything in his notebook, and he was ready to use it to his benefit.

  As time passed, the school bell rang, indicating that the class would start, but there was no indication of the Villain coming soon.

  Still, ray was not nervous at all. He knew that even if the Villain was to come now, the available time was too small, and it was better for him to make a ruckus during the afternoon break.

  The class began, and Mia-sensei started teaching.

  Today's topic was about spirit beast evolution, which naturally Ray would excel in because of the spirit book of evolution.

  Mia-sensei started to ask questions about spirit beast evolution, and Ray answered almost more than half amongst them, only stopping because Mia-sensei said that he should let the other answer too.

  After the arrival of Alan, ray had no issue revealing his true potential. The Villain's attention would surely be on Alan, and Ray decided that he would just be the salted fish between the two.

  As the class continued talking about the evolution topic, the way the other students looked at Ray started to change. The Class Monitor and Rin now looked like Ray's little fan, while even Mia-sensei herself looked at Ray full of curiosity.

  Ray took a peek at their information, and he saw that the lowest among the three, Mia sensei have the affection of twenty, while the class monitor and Rin have the affection of thirty and forty, respectively.

  ' Hehe, it seems being smart is truly a perk.'

  A small arc grew on the corner of his mouth as Ray thought he had achieved today's aim.

  Soon, the class ended as the lunch break took place. However, ray's desk was now crowded with other students. Some of them were curious about how Ray could know all of that, while some just wanted to know about Ray better.

  Ray was really helpless this time. He looked at Rin, trying to convey that he needed some help, but the girl only gave a slight smile and left for the cafeteria as if telling him that it was not her problem.

  ' *SIgh* Girls… why can't they just be real to their own feeling.'

  With Rin leaving, ray was left alone to handle this matter. Still, it didn't really take a long time until everyone's attention was shifted from Ray.

  Just a few minutes after the lunch break started, a group of people from other classes came and surrounded Ray's class.

  " Tell me, which one of you is Alan!"

  The one that seemed to be the leader of the group come forward and started screaming.

  ' hehe, this should be fun… Let's see how you handle this, Alan.'
