Chapter 24: Lunch and Business Deal

After giving Ruler a few heavy blows, Cass had no choice but to stop when the teacher announced her team's victory.

Cass let out a sigh of frustration as she walked away from the lightly bloody and very bruised body of Ruler.

'And I was just starting to get a bit excited,' she thought to herself as she walked off the stage and went to stand on the side to watch the rest of the battles.

That day was Friday which was the team combat day of each week. Every team would battle 1 other team of their choice or when they got challenged before being able to sit on the side or in the infirmary for the rest of the class.

Cass, Yumi, and Megan sat in their usual spot on the bleachers as they watched the rest of the battles commence. But the battles were not too exciting for the most part. The 2nd and 3rd place teams battled against each other with each having a single high-tier on their teams so they were able to excite the viewers but the other 3 fights did not.

With each of the remaining teams not having a full team of Alphas, the battles seemed lackluster compared to the previous two, just like they had been all semester.

When class was almost over, the teacher allowed everyone to head to the locker rooms to get showered and change before they had to be at their next class. This was something all of them were thankful for since the regular PE teacher only allowed students to change into their gym clothes at the beginning of class.

He did not allow any time near the end of class, however, for them to shower or change and the kids would end up either really smelly and sweaty due to working out too hard, or get bad grades in the class since they did not want to end up sweaty and smelly.

Several students had complained about it before but the school gave a very lukewarm response. Most parents felt that it was not a big deal and that it would be good for most of their spoiled children to have a minor problem or two.

Cass and the other girls in the class went to the locker room to get showered and changed. But before any of them even took off their training clothes, Megan raised her hand and a purple aura surrounded it before it spread to the rest of the locker room and disappeared.

"All clear and safe," she announced to the other girls before she took off her jacket, shorts, and full bodysuit. The other girl's followed after. The gym uniform was a bodysuit tailored to each student but most girls wore shorts and jackets over them since the suits were skin-tight and it was uncomfortable to wear underwear under them.

What Megan did was use her power to sense anyone or anything in the room that may have been spying on them before creating a weak barrier around the room. Megan could manipulate her aura, chi, qi, whatever most people called it, to do a variety of effects but most were support related and could barely be used in direct combat.

Although she was not the best at fighting, her scouting and area denial abilities were top-notch while she also had some minor healing abilities. This was another reason why the girls were the number 1 group even though they were first years. They had two powerful attackers and the most powerful support Alpha in the class all on one team.

After changing out of their bodysuits and into their uniforms, the girls walked out of the locker room right when the bell rang which meant that it was time for lunch.

As they were walking out of the locker room, Cass stopped for a moment while her two friends looked at her and waited. It was not the first time that she had done that.

'Yeah, yeah. I know what to do, Boss.' she thought before catching up with her friends and apologizing for stopping out of nowhere.

The trio of Megan, Cass, and Yumi walked towards the sushi restaurant while talking about their next class and passing each other homework to copy from one another. Cass grabbed the AP physics homework from her friend on the way there which she immediately passed over to Megan.

In the 17 years since Seth had arrived at the school, the school had turned from a simple high school on a private island into a small town that surrounded the school where several businesses were opened. This was so that the students would not be as bored and were less likely to try and sneak off the island to find entertainment.

Cass was on her phone and sending some messages to someone. When Yumi looked over to see what they were talking about, her face blushed before she playfully pushed Cass and called her a 'pervert'.

Cass laughed at her innocent friend as the group arrived at the restaurant. She sent two more messages really quickly before she sat down at the table and began ordering food with her friends.

The messages read:

[ Gotcha. Will be ready at 5 PM in the club room. The cost will be 1,000 for the service, 400 for the substance, and 200 for room rental. Send the cash anytime before 3.]

[Got a job for you if you're interested. Need 5 or 6 of your little green guys and will give you 100 bucks to borrow them for an hour.]
