The next day, Kai returned to school. As one would expect, there was a huge banner for him alone while the rest were portrayed in a single banner.

So many fangirls had been waiting for him this whole time, especially in this current world situation where the population was dominated by females.

Of course, Evan shared the same problem since he was the only male beside him. Isabella ended up escorting him to his room to avoid direct confrontation while Tasha teleported Kai. Meanwhile, Sofia, Michelle, and Ayaka had a better situation since not many males dared to approach them, considering they were considered Kai's girlfriends.

And even if they wanted them, there was no way they could beat Kai who had the same achievement as his teacher.

At the same time, it would draw hatred toward them, so it was better to remain neutral. A fan was alright, but an admirer… they would be lucky they were still alive.

Still, no matter what everyone had to say, Kai's fan base grew even bigger. If before they were admirers, the news turned them into worshippers.

Had Kai become a playboy, he would be able to sleep with any of the girls he wanted. Unfortunately, Kai had his hand full with Michelle and the others and had no intention to do something like a one-night stand.

Hence, Kai ignored all their messages since the best way for him to reply to them was by his action. As long as he kept racking achievements, there wouldn't be much of a problem.

After getting inside his room with Teleportation Magic, Kai laid down on the couch with a tired face. Next to him was Evan, who happened to have the same expression.

"Say, Captain. Can I somehow stay silent for a while?" He asked. "I mean… Hide inside my house until the situation calms down."

"Well, I have a suggestion for that." Kai nodded. "And I have the same plan, actually."

"Really? I want to listen to this suggestion of yours."

"How about we go for another mission for next month which happens to be our last mission? After this, if we don't want to go to school, no one can say anything."

"That's a good idea. Possibly something that doesn't take too long."

While the two talked, Michelle overheard their conversation and tilted her head in confusion. "Wait a minute. Wasn't the S Rank Magical Beast considered as one mission?"

"Ah, now that I think about it, the previous S Rank Magical Beast was announced as a Raid Mission." Kai looked at the ceiling before nodding his head.

"So, does this mean we don't need to go to school anymore? There is still one more left before graduation."

"Well, we need to have a mock battle with four groups where each of us needs to handle one. Tasha and Sofia can't participate, okay?" Kai glanced at them with a serious expression.

"I know. I will graduate by then, so I have no intention of staying here. Instead, I will be racking up achievement after achievement to show that I'm not a paper tiger." Tasha smirked.

"Well, I will probably return first to prepare everything for you… Mr. Exchange Student." Sofia stuck her tongue out.

"Ahaha." Kai laughed before turning to Evan. "So, I think we only have one mock battle. If you lose, we lose."

"Why are you saying that to me? Well, I do know that I'm the weakest, but is there a need to say it right on my face? Anyway, I will do my best in this mock battle."

Kai nodded. "I have informed the student council president, you know. Do you want to accompany me to meet her to discuss the mock battle?"

"Right now?"

"Five minutes later."

"Sure. But are you sure we can survive out there?" Evan made a disgusted face as if he really hated this much attention. Even in his house, his parents threw a party while his sisters visited him while crying in tears.

He couldn't help it as well since the previous Evan was "useless" and "unruly". He acted like punk and ignored almost everything. Yet, he became one of the heroes that saved the base, receiving the medal of honor himself.

Not only had he turned himself into a new leaf, but he also became something that one could take pride in. Although there were some debates on the internet, mostly between fangirls, talking about Evan's bad past, it didn't really affect him since Evan admitted that he did something bad in the past and apologized for it.

Of course, most of them actually protected Evan because everything he did was for his beloved childhood sweetheart, Isabelle. He became even more popular since the public only knew there was only one girl by Evan's side.

As long as they could get his heart, their status would be ridiculously high.

Kai patted his shoulder and laughed. "Don't worry. I will lead us with my ears."

"Alright then." Evan agreed as Kai rose from his seat.

He took out his device and called his teacher to tell her not to send another mission to them, so they could rest after that high-stress battle.

After that, Kai waved his hand, leading Evan to the student council room, where he found twenty-five people inside it. The first five in front of him were none other than the Student Council Members.

"Well, well. The hero has finally come." Laura, the student council president, smiled, greeting him. "It's nice to meet you again."

"Indeed." Kai smiled back before glancing to the right. There were two groups on his right, the one sat on the couch while the other one didn't. On the opposite side, he also saw the same arrangement.

"Let me introduce them." She pointed her hand toward them politely and spoke. "This gentleman is the leader of the Golden Group, Samuel. Except for your and Isabelle's groups, his Dawn Group holds the highest record right now. Behind him are his teammates.

"As for the one next to him, they are from one of the full offensive style groups in this school, Slayer Group. They are strong, you know." She smiled before pointing at the one in front of them. "They are from the Grace Group, known as the female paradise since everyone was a girl. Their style is rather defensive, which is good for me.

"Last but not least, this female is the next student council president candidate, the leader of Tempest Group, Maria Smith. She is the most balanced group out there."

"Why are you even blabbering all the information about us, President Laura?" Samuel narrowed his eyes.

"I mean, you can obviously search his fighting style on the internet easily. However, I know that he won't search for yours because on the battlefield he currently faces, there is little to no information about the enemies. So, he has been getting accustomed to it." Laura shrugged.

"Fufu, that's interesting. I wonder if I should also do that," said Maria with a calm expression.

Kai might not know this, but Maria and Samuel had met right after he finished his group battle against Eagle Group in the past. They were talking about his group and how they needed to deal with him.

Obviously, they had been following their progress ever since, not wanting to lose against someone in their generation. If not because Kai was already too far away, they would have challenged him in the Group Battle.

Still, even though they had stopped, it didn't mean that the previous data was forgotten. After knowing that there was a chance to fight Kai, Samuel had been preparing himself.

His previous arrogance was nowhere to be seen since Kai had shut him up with his fighting prowess, but it didn't mean he had no intention of winning.

He looked at Kai and said, "If we are fighting, I will be aiming for your neck."

Kai only smiled and nodded. "I will be looking forward to it."

"I think you all know that there is a condition for this fight, right?" Laura asked before explaining again. "Anyway, all four groups will attack the Lion Group together where the Lion Group, without Tasha Carter and Sofia Campbell, has to handle each of your group alone. In other words, it will be a one versus five battle."

"Tch." Samuel clicked his tongue but didn't say anything. Even though he was frustrated by this arrangement, he knew his limit. There was no way that he could defeat the entire Lion Group alone, especially since Kai was also recognized as another S Rank Magician and someone who was able to slay an S Rank Magical Beast.

"I do have one requirement though." Kai raised his hand. "As you might already know, if someone on our side loses, we will lose. Hence, I would like for Evan to choose his opponent first since he is originally a healer. I think you can give me this much of a leeway, right?"

"Hmm, I can, but it depends on what the other four groups have to say."

The four leaders looked at each other and nodded their heads in unison. Samuel then looked at Evan as if saying, "If you dare to pick us and prevent us from fighting Kai Carter, you are dead."

Evan shrugged, knowing his own limit. With that limited information, he knew there was one group that even he could defeat.

He pointed his forefinger toward the all-girls group, Grace Group.

"Evan, I will be reporting this to Isabelle." Kai facepalmed.

"Why? Don't you think this is the best choice?"

Kai smirked before laughing. "Anyway, since Evan has chosen the Grace Group, I think the arrangement will be like this… I will fight the Golden Group, Michelle will handle the Tempest Group, while Ayaka fights the Slayer Group. Does anyone have an objection?"
