Alex, Ross and Julia had returned to their favourite hangout spot; Alex''s room. Over the next hour, he and Ross had to sit through a lecture about how Alex was playing around when he clearly had the strength to one-shot all the students in the battle royale.

    Her expression showed how displeased she was with Alex and how she was constantly put on edge whenever Alex had a close call.

    The main event was when she talked about Alex partnering with someone he clearly didn''t need as she was more trouble than her worth.

    However, when Julia was talking about that part, her body emitted subtle waves of cold energy, showcasing her state of mind.

    ''She''s jealous, isn''t she?'' Alex thought with a subtle grin. The knowledge that Julia was very possessive of him even though they were not in a relationship warmed his heart.

    He fought with everything he had to not smile at the thought as Julia appeared incredibly serious when she talked about that part.

    Alex cast a subtle glance in Ross'' direction and noticed his small smile too. It was funny how Julia behaved whenever Alex spent time with other girls, and while not a often activity, whenever it happened, Julia would adopt a cold outlook until he returned to her side.

    Group assignments where they had to work with others were hell for groups who had Julia without Alex by her side.

    ''Since when did this even become about her? Now I have to console her, or she might continue till who knows how long.'' Alex released a small sigh and stood up, "Julia, relax." He muttered with his right hand moving to her shoulder.

    As if by magic, the subtle waves of cold energy she was letting off instantly vanished, as if everything was an illusion.

    "Humph." She snorted with a small pout; her lips stretched to express her displeasure.

    "Just know that in the main event, you are not allowed to play around like you did in the battle royale. I''ll personally keep an eye on you." She said and turned to Ross who sat silently enjoying the show.

    He had plans of finding Abigail and Ethan to get to know them better, but that would not have been in the form of a summon. A summon could only come from the administration.

    Alex raised his left wrist and asked Xex for more details, "Do you know who is summoning me?" He moved away from Julia''s back and returned to his seat; his brows narrowed in thought as he tried to think of anyone who could call for him. The curiosity on the faces of Ross and Julia indicated their interest in the matter.

    [I''m not sure, but the summon came from the main administration and not from your instructor. You can only find out once you make your way over.]

    "I see..." Alex said and raised his head to look at his friends. "Looks like I''ll be leaving you guys for now." He stated and got back up, preparing to leave his room. Julia and Ross followed suit, getting to their feet.

    "Do you think this is about your performance in the battle royale?" Ross asked the question that was most likely the reason for his summon.

    "Maybe. But I''d have to go there to find out." Alex didn''t want to bother thinking about who as he would soon find out.

    "Come on, let''s go. You can at least escort me halfway." He suggested to which they nodded and followed behind him.

    They exited the dorms and made their way to the administrative block which was a bit of a distance from the class buildings and other facilities for the students.

    Multiple gazes and sometime later, they arrived at the administrative block. "We''ll wait for you here," Julia said.

    However, that was unnecessary as shortly after, a staff member approached the group and said, "Alexander Gray, Julia Knight, and Ross Bongu, please this way."

    Julia tilted her in confusion and asked for clarification, "We''re included too?" She inquired, pointing at herself and Ross who nodded in agreement.

    The summon was for Alex, and they only came along because they mostly moved together. There was no reason for them to come along.

    "Yes." The staff member affirmed.
