Alex sat on his school chair, deep in thought. The Nonuplets had been attending elementary school for a two year now, and he could feel time slipping away. "No, I can't wait any longer," he told himself. "If I don't start acting now, I'll waste too many opportunities for the future."
His mind swirled with the vast reservoir of future knowledge he possessed—technological advancements, market trends, and business opportunities that no one else could even imagine. "I can use this knowledge to build the greatest business empire in the world," he mused, a determined glint in his eyes.
But there was one major obstacle.
"I'm a minor," he muttered. "I can't do anything legally on my own. I have to make Father listen to me."
Alex knew convincing his father wouldn't be easy. Anthony Collin was a pragmatic businessman—not the type to take financial advice from a elementary school child, no matter how intelligent. But Alex was nothing if not persistent. After two year of reasoning, pleading, and carefully presenting his case, his father finally relented.
For Alex's birthday, Anthony agreed to buy shares of Alex's choosing.
It was 1998. The Nonuplets had been born in 1988, making them ten years old now. Alex had carefully selected the shares, fully aware that in just two years, their value would skyrocket.
"Once those shares rise in value, my next plan begins," Alex thought, a satisfied smile tugging at his lips.
Alex wasn't just focused on building a business empire; he was also determined to ensure that each of his nine bodies excelled in their respective fields. With nine bodies under his control, Alex had the unique opportunity to master multiple disciplines simultaneously. He knew that diversifying their skills would not only make them more versatile but also prepare them for the challenges of the future.
His thoughts were interrupted as his friend Jason walked in front of him.
"What are you thinking about?" Jason asked, plopping down beside him on the school desk.
"Nothing, just daydreaming," Alex replied, shaking off his thoughts.
"Oh, right! Your brothers Richard and David are going to participate in the interscholastic football tournament," Jason said, his face lighting up with excitement.
"Yeah, they're in the tournament," Alex responded casually.
"With your brothers on the school team, we're definitely going to win!" Jason declared with confidence.
"Yeah," Alex replied absentmindedly, though his thoughts had already drifted elsewhere.
He sighed, thinking about Richard.
Richard his seventh body was a prodigy in every sense of the word. With his Perfect Copy talent combined with Perfect Memory, he could imitate any move he saw—and even enhance it. His only weakness was his physical limitations, preventing him from executing his skills at their full potential.
But what made Richard truly unpredictable was his adventurous nature. If he found something boring, he'd go to extreme lengths to make it exciting. However, sports were the one thing that always managed to excite him.
"Well, in two days, we'll see who wins," Alex said nonchalantly, though his mind was already racing ahead, laying the groundwork for his next move.
