Souta took a deep breath to calm his nerves. He had to admit that Alice's beauty was out of this world, especially when she smiled.

'Her beauty could even rival Athena.' Souta thought as he recalled the goddess that he swore to serve back in the game.

Back in the game, he joined Athena's faction when he came to the God's Continent. Joining a faction of a God or Goddess has its own benefits. Those chosen ones were called by different names. Hero, Apostle, etc. Each god has different names for their chosen people.

In Athena's case, she called her chosen people Hero. So he was called Athena's hero and throughout the years he became Athena's most loved hero because of his deeds. The chosen people would be able to use the power of their God and Goddess that they serve.

It became popular among the player of the Battle World Online as countless players joined the faction of different gods and goddesses. Almost all the player have their own Gods, be it from the God's Continent or the Giza continent. Becoming one of the chosen people of the gods could boost the stats greatly.

Receiving the grace of the gods or blessings of the gods. It was the same as his current blessing, the [Blessing of the Great]. This was one of the most basic blessings that players could acquire. The only problem was that the stats it gave weren't that much.

'Athena? As in that child that became the Goddess of Wisdom and War in Olympus?' Saya's voice sounded in his mind.

'Child? It seems that you know her.' Souta wasn't surprised that Saya knew Athena. He already knew that Saya was still alive at that time when the war broke out twenty thousand years ago.

'Nope, I only know those gods and goddesses from that continent. I'm familiar with them but from your words... It seems that you know her appearance. Have you seen her before? A goblin like you?'

'No, I've only saw her statue before.' Souta replied to her.

'Ufufu, just from that statue... How suspicious.' Saya laughed.

"What's wrong, Souta?"

Souta snapped out when he heard a question directed at him. He looked up and saw that it was Alice.

"Nothing." Souta shook his head and said.

'I hope you understand it Yuko.' He said in his mind. It seems that he's going to be late this time as he was planning to visit the red light district after class.

Souta looked at Alice and asked, "How's the class doing about the cultural festival?"

"That? Well, the class rep is giving it her all." Alice said as she looked at the front of the class.

"Hmm..." Souta also looked at her and saw that Lumilia was writing down important things that they needed to do to complete their preparation.

Lumilia was placing a task on some of their classmates. She was giving orders while writing down at the same time.

"Okay." Alice nodded at him and she rested her head on her hand while looking at Souta's figure.

'I'll try to do better from now on. I'll try to live up from Sebas's expectation.' Alice said inwardly as she slowly closed her eyes.

...

"Class rep, I only managed to get this much," Joshua said as he showed the blacks curtains in his arms.

Lumilia looked at the curtains in his arms and counted it.

"One, two, three, four."

She then wrote it down and tapped her pen on the table while thinking about what she should do.

"It would have been nice to have five or six black curtains." She muttered in a low voice. She then looked at Joshua and said, "You can place it there. We still have one week so try to find another curtain."

She recalled something and she added, "We still have enough funds. Ask Nayo about it?"

"I understand but..." Joshua nodded and he looked around trying to find Nayo. "Where's Nayo?"

"She's in the second year building," Lumilia answered his question.

Souta just looked at her managing things. He only opened his mouth when he saw everyone left to do their task.

"Class rep, is there anything I can do?"

Lumilia looked over and saw that it was Souta who called her. She then went back to look at the notebook on top of the table. She opened her mouth and asked, "How are you?"

"I'm fine. You already saw it yesterday, right? So why bother asking?" Souta smiled and said.

"Ugh... I-I'm just trying to make sure of it." Lumilia said as she lowered her head. She didn't even try to look at his face.

"Well, do you need some help?" Souta asked her while trying to look at her notebook. Although he knew what their class was going to do, he still didn't know the full details of it.

Their class was setting up a theatre play. To do this, they needed a lot of materials to set up the stage. They also need to sew the clothes of the actors and actresses.

The story they were going to play was about a certain man who saved a princess from the hands of an evil dragon.

'What an overused story... They should have used the story of a certain man that transmigrated into another world and became a monster.' Souta thought inwardly. What he didn't know was that this story was also overused on earth.

Well, it didn't seem bad at all to do things like this sometimes.

"We need some plywood," Lumilia said and she explained the size that they needed.

"Okay, you can leave it to me," Souta said and he left the classroom.

Lumilia turned her head and looked at his back before she sighed deeply.

...

"So where should I find a plywood?" Souta muttered while looking around him. He pondered if he should ask the higher year about it or not.

"Okay, I'll ask them." Souta made a decision. He continued to walk until he saw a female student blocked his way.

Looking at this girl, Souta knitted his eyebrows and said, "What are you doing?"

The girl in front of him has green hair that was tied in twintails. She had green eyes and snow-white skin. Her height was the same as his, No, she was taller than him by a few millimeters. She had two dark cherry color antenna sticking out on her head. Just looking at this, Souta knew that she wasn't a human. She's a demi and it looks like she was an animal type. Maybe, an insect demi.

"Um... Can I borrow a bit of your time?" The girl asked while she kept fiddling her fingers.

Souta raised his eyebrows and tried to guess what she was thinking. He observed her movements and didn't found anything wrong.

"Before I agree with you, can you tell the reason?" He asked her while staring at her eyes.

"I'll talk while walking." The girl said as she lowered her head.

"Okay, lead the way." Souta nodded his head and looked at her with a serious expression.

The girl bowed her head before she started to walk and Souta followed her from the side.

"Lord Souta, first of all, I'm going to introduce myself first." The girl said in a polite tone.

Souta nodded at her as he ignored the word "lord" before his name. He decided to let her finish first before he says something.

"I'm Jeanne Livenest, the Vice President of the Souta's Union Fan Club." The girl introduced herself as Jeanne.

Her words caused Souta to stopped on his track. He turned his head and stared at Jeanne's face with a dumbfounded look on his face.

"W-What did you say?!" Souta asked her while stuttering. He feels that he misheard something.

"I'm Jeanne Livenest, the Vice President of the Souta's Union Fan Club. It's nice to meet you, Lord Souta." Jeanne lowered her head and said in a polite tone.

'Damn! I didn't hear it wrong! I really had a fan club!' Souta said inwardly before he went deep into his thoughts, 'Hmm...? I'll need to visit them to see if they are valuable or not. I know there are some fan clubs that brought harm to their idol and I don't want that to happen.'

Souta looked at Jeanne and asked, "What class and year are you?"

"I'm from the Brawler Class 3-C," Jeanne answered him in a polite tone.

"3-C? You're my senior? Then, you don't need to be that polite when talking to me." Souta said to her. Brawler? From her looks, she didn't seem to be the type who preferred to fight with bare knuckles.

Looking at him, it seems that Jeanne guessed what Souta was thinking.

"I'm a demi, a bullet ant to be precise, Lord Souta," Jeanne opened her mouth and said.

'Paraponera? One of the strongest demis who are famous for their unrivaled strength among the other demis.' Souta thought.
