"Guess I was wrong; the kid is smarter than he looks."

Mason commented watching Alex convince the city officials. And while it was mostly because they had an earlier hint on the matter, it was easier for Alex''s words to convince them.

"Mm."

Zol nodded in agreement. He hadn''t known the kid for long, but the surprises he gave him always held his curiosity.

While the majority of the other students were trying to do everything themselves with the power they held, Alex had already seen through the essence and was already making progress.

''He''ll be a fine hunter.''

Just having strength, mana and fighting prowess wasn''t enough to become a good hunter. They had to also understand that not all matters can be solved with force, especially when put in a leadership position.

Words can equally be as powerful, though only in the human setting. Void creatures and the other dangers of the universe don''t apply, but hunters don''t just deal with void creatures.

"But that is the easy part..."

Convincing the officials was the easy part. However, telling millions of people to suddenly abandon everything and move because of a potential tsunami hitting the city without causing mass hysteria was the difficult part.

"I''m sure he''ll think of something."

.....

Alex told the officials about the mountain range in the distance being enough to provide high grounds for everyone to survive.

He had seen how high the tsunami was before and knew his plan was viable.

The officials did see the merit in such a proposal but there was one little problem.

"That''s fine and all, but how do we tell millions of people to move towards the mountain range without causing mass panic?"

Every then turned to look at Alex who could only show a bittersweet smile. He expected this as well, and while he didn''t have a concrete way to go about it, he believed it would work, hopefully.

"Well... I have a plan for that. All you have to do is make the preparations to inform the city to move as quickly as possible. Make transportation available as well."

The officials stared at him with narrowed eyes, trying to see if he was being serious about what his plan was and when he didn''t fold, they backed off.

Alex thought for a moment before giving a reply.

"Do you have weapons? Specifically spears?" He asked looking at the officials. What he had in mind required him to bring out as much power as possible.

''In the end, my strength will still be useful.''

"A spear...? Why not something like a plasma gun?"

Monica was confused a bit. Why use such outdated weaponry when he could have state-of-the-art weapons?

"Same reason the guards couldn''t harm me. They''re useless against people like me. Besides, what I''m going to do requires a weapon like that."

''What''s the point of a gun if void creatures move faster than they can fire? Even abilities move faster after reaching a certain level. They are only useful on immobile targets.''

His words sounded like boosting, but they couldn''t argue when they witnessed it themselves.

"Right... sorry."

Monica muttered feeling stupid for having to mention that in the first place. Luckily, she didn''t have to dwell on the issue when the commander finally made his appearance, catching everyone''s attention.

"Took you long enough. Just how bad were you knocked out?" One of the leaders chided and while it wasn''t his fault, he was the head in charge of security.

"That''s okay. It wasn''t his fault."

Monica stepped in to stop her coworkers from chiding him when he did nothing wrong.

The commander apologized and then looked at Alex with a bit of anger, feeling humiliated before his subordinates. Yet he understood that there was nothing he could do to the person.

"Commander, can you take our guest here to the armoury? He wants a spear."

"A spear?" The commander tilted his head not quite understanding what was going on.

"You''ll understand later, we''ve already wasted a lot of time."

"Yes, ma''am." A sharp salute later, he turned to Alex and instructed him to follow.

"You''ll know when you hear it."

Alex left behind those words and disappeared with the commander. A few seconds later, the officials moved to carry out the evacuation.
