Chapter 209: Questions without answers



He assumed a stance like a boxer, so that he could maximise his output.

And when he was ready…

Whoosh!

He threw a punch as hard as he could at the Principal\'s stretched out palm.

Smack!

And…

Nothing happened.

Alex didn\'t even push the Principal\'s hand back, nor did he even feel any shockwaves from the connection between his fist and the Principal\'s hand.

It was like his whole attack was cancelled out…

\'Just a glimpse into an S tier\'s strength and I\'m already confused.\'

Alex didn\'t get how the laws of physics and kinetic energy just didn\'t seem to apply to his attack just now, but he saved his questions for later.

First, he wanted to hear what the Principal had to say.

"What classification are you Alex? Variant class?"

The Principal asked Alex a question before he revealed the results of his sudden test.

"Huh? No sir, I\'m a Mutant class. I haven\'t had the time nor the luck to go hunting for any Variant class beasts these recent times, otherwise I would probably be a Variant class by now."

Alex answered the Principal\'s question honestly, confused by the fact that he guessed Alex was a Variant class.

Besides, he should have already seen Alex\'s Details from the Soul contract he signed with the university anyway, so he should have already known that Alex was a Mutant class.

"Your punch just now. It had the power of a Variant class C- rank awakened, which is to say the strength of your punch was not only a whole tier above your own rank, but also a whole class above." He paused for a second, then continued. "It seems you gained quite the power boost from that mysterious phenomenon you just caused."

The Principal finally revealed the details of Alex\'s punch, and it left Alex utterly shocked.

\'What the hell? How is my strength so high now… And that\'s without the use of any techniques or talents…\'

However, Alex was brought out of his shocked state when he noticed Mira had finally awakened from her own shock on the side.

"Mira! Did you see that!? Do you see how strong I am now!?"

His excitement got the better of him as he rushed towards her and started asking her all kinds of questions.

But her face remained flushed the whole time.

It took Alex a few moments before he noticed this.

"What\'s wrong Mira?"

She darted her eyes down, looking intensely at something below, which only increased the redness on her face even more.

Following her gaze, Alex looked down as well.

\'...\'

\'Fuck.\'

And what he found drained all the blood from his face, leaving him pale.

He was naked.

"Please don\'t tell me I\'ve been like this the whole time…" He asked Mira, but she shook her head.

It seemed she was still too embarrassed, or \'preoccupied\' to speak, as she kept answering with simple gestures.

Not to mention the fact that her eyes hadn\'t left Alex\'s \'thing\' down there since he had rushed up to her…

Slowly moving one hand to his head, facepalming, and the other to cover up his \'thing\', Alex silently made his way out of the living room, towards his bedroom upstairs to find a fresh pair of clothes.

On the way, he kept beating himself up internally for not realising sooner.

\'Fuck, are you telling me I just had a small sparring match with the Principal, and the whole time I was completely naked!? Why didn\'t anyone tell me???\'

He was less concerned about the fact that Mira had been staring at him the whole time, and more concerned about the fact that he had just exposed himself to the Principal!

Forget shameless, a new word needed to be invented specifically for Alex!

Alex returned a few minutes later, this time fully clothed.

"So what exactly happened to me? I kind of blacked out after things got too intense."

Alex asked the one thing that had been nagging his mind, other than his indecent exposure.

From his perspective, he 100% thought he was going to die when those flames started raging inside his inventory and even turned his spiritual body to ash at the end.

But here he was, back in the real world, perfectly fine.

In fact he was more than perfectly fine, he was like a whole new person!

"You died." The Principal answered.

The answer was short and sweet, getting straight to the point.

But it didn\'t quite sit right with Alex.

"What? I died? How the hell am I still here then?"

He thought the Principal was just joking at first, but the serious and inquisitive look on his face never changed.

This just left Alex even more concerned though.

"Wait, I really died…?"

This time, he asked Mira.

But the answer he received was the same.

Essentially, he had died.

And then been reborn, somehow.

Throughout his whole life, he had never heard about anyone coming back from death without intervention from an incredibly strong individual like the one Dr Zoric had worked with.

But then again, his worldview was still quite small even in the present times.

He guessed that the Principal might have seen something like this before, and promptly asked him about it.

"Nope. Never. This is a first for me too."

But the answer he received said otherwise.

\'It seems he really has no idea what happened to him.\' The Principal thought.

He was still there, in Alex\'s living room, because he wanted to find out exactly what happened to Alex.

He already had an inkling that it was something to do with the legend of the Phoenix that he had heard of so many years back, but the story in that legend didn\'t sound exactly like what Alex had just gone through.

Not to mention the fact that Alex was a human, through and through.

\'Maybe it was a special effect of the Heart of the Phoenix technique? I haven\'t heard of anything like this happening to others who\'ve cultivated it, but it might be a situation where this type of effect will only be caused by someone who is a perfect match for it? I can only speculate for now.\'

The Principal had a lot of thoughts himself.

"It\'s about time I leave. I already had to put off some important meetings to be here."

Since it seemed like he wouldn\'t get any answers out of Alex, for the time being, he finally departed.

Now it was only Alex and Mira left.
