Level Infinity Weakest King

Ariel was surprised when she heard this. Riley was surprised as well by her own words.

She never knew that she would feel this way.

Well, it was just an attraction but perhaps it could be termed as love at first sight.

It was weird but something that was bound to happen. Rex was handsome and with the boosts that his body had including the blessings that he inherited from his past self, he was bound to attract many women.

For now, she knew that she was head over heels for Rex but knew not what to do.

"Haha, so this was the real matter…", Ariel laughed after hearing Riley.

"N-no! That's not it.", Riley said in a low voice as if she was denying Ariel's claim.

As mentioned earlier, polygamy was allowed in this world so having more than one fiancée or lover wasn't too uncommon.

But one would always prefer having someone they love, belong only to themselves instead of sharing with others. Probably Riley too had that mentality because of which she was a bit jealous.

Also, she never got to talk with him, to begin with, so that too weighed on her.

Ariel then said, "I think, you should try and confess your feelings to him."

"Eh?"

Although Ariel's suggestion was good, she had no idea that Rex hated Riley because of the incident.

Well, the incident wasn't even made public. Other than the principal and the vice-principal, no one else actually knew what had happened with Alaia.

If Riley were to go and introduce herself to Rex, not only would her love be broken as she would get rejected, her past actions would be opened in the public which would completely degrade her honor and her achievements.

She could as well get expelled from the Academy. In that sense, Ariel's advice wasn't all that great.

Whatever, she did suggest that but Riley ended up shaking her head with denial.

She said, "I think I am concluding too fast…"

"This may just be another attraction and nothing more."

"I think I will wait for a few more days.", she said.

"Are you sure? You might end up regretting it…", Ariel said.

'Well, he is a commoner and I won't even have a chance to marry him even after conveying my feelings to him.'

'I would regret anyway…', her eyes felt dead for a minute after which she stood up.

"Thanks for your time princess Ariel.", she said as she walked out of the room.

Their matter ended here. Just because Ariel was of higher status when compared to Riley, she gave respect and talked properly. If it was anyone else, she would have definitely been rude.

Rex woke up from his sleep after two hours. He wasn't disturbed during this time nor did he feel any killing intent nearby.

Thus, he slept peacefully.

But of course, he ended up being surprised the moment he woke up.

"Ha!?", he looked at the three boys in his rooms.

They were looking at something that was flashing a light.

"Smartphones!?", Rex was surprised to find smartphones in their hands.

One of the boys was Biyou while the remaining two were strangers but probably those who share the room. They were normal looking as well, one of them had black hair and fair skin while the other had tanned skin with the same black hair.

Rex wasn't surprised by their appearance. Rather, he was surprised after seeing them holding smartphones in their hands.

"Oh, good evening!", all three of them greeted Rex simultaneously as they were surprised by his words.

Of course, after rubbing his eyes, he realized that he had mistaken the holograms of the wristwatch with smartphones.

He rubbed his eyes a little more and greeted them back, "Good evening…"

They stopped doing whatever work they had and then moved closer to Rex. 

"I am Deris.", said the guy with fair skin.

"I am Nomoir, nice to meet you Rex.", the tanned boy said.

'Deris? The name sounds so much like the guardian Teris…', just as Rex had thought this, he suddenly felt a weird presence.

"Did you call me, master?", Teris, in a small fairy form, appeared right next to him.

'Huh? You-', Rex was surprised because she appeared all of a sudden. But there was nothing to worry about.

The people couldn't see her nor hear her just like the fairy back at the Golden Swan Kingdom.

After she explained this to him, he maintained his composure and said, "Nice to meet you too."

They were some people with whom he was going to live for the next three years so he had to be good to them.

Biyou then, without wasting any time, opened the sweet box that he had bought.

"Here…"

"Let's have some sweet and celebrate the addition of a new member.", he said.

He also mentioned how there were now a total of 4 people and how the room number was also 4444.

They laughed and enjoyed the sweets, of course, there weren't many, but all of them got 2 pieces at least.

Rex's mood was better by now. In fact, he questioned himself, 'Why was I angry earlier?'

He didn't know the reason, perhaps, he was just tired. Maybe because of the mental fatigue, even little things felt irritable to him.

Regardless, right now, after the introductions and the party, all of them started doing their work again.

Since Rex had just joined, he had nothing to do. So he thought about just taking a look at their works.

Yes, they were given homework which they had to complete.

Rex asked, "Wow, you all study a lot."

All three of them laughed hysterically.

"Haha, these all are just regular homework."

"If we studied a lot, we wouldn't be sitting in some mere class F.", Deris said.

"Oh…", Rex continued to stare at the writings.

'Hmm…'

'Interesting…'

'So they use the hologram function of the wristwatch to take a temporary note of everything that is taught in the class and then write it down in the books as homework…', Rex was intrigued with the system.

He continued to observe Deris' work and the notes when suddenly, he noticed something.

'Huh?'

'8 mana diagram?', he was confused to see an 8 mana diagram drawn completely wrong.

Mana diagram – often referred to as mana circles.

They are used for the casting of magic or making magic instruments. Of course, the 8 mana diagram meant a magic circle that has 8 inscriptions on it.

It is comparable to 1 tier magic.

After looking at it, Rex was easily able to identify a flaw. Though, it was the same for the instructions and other things in the books.

Yes, he even looked at the books and found tons of flaws. It was expected since the knowledge of magic and mana had been decreased over the years.

Despite that, the current era was considered to be one of the most developing periods.

Rex then said, "Uh, I don't think this 8 mana diagram will have any effect."

Deris looked at him all of a sudden after hearing that.

"What do you mean?", he asked.

"I mean, whoever taught you this, might have mistaken this lousy diagram to be something great.", Rex ended up disrespecting the teacher who taught this.

Deris was surprised by what Rex said.

He then asked, "I think the teacher taught the right thing."

"Look, even in the textbooks, it's the same thing.", he said.

Rex then said, "Yeah, even in the textbooks they have printed the wrong thing…"

'Wait printed…?'

'They have created a printing machine?', suddenly Rex looked much more surprised as he looked at the books.

His eyes turned golden for a second after which he was not surprised anymore.

'Ah, did they produce it manually by using copy magic?', he asked as he realized that was the case.

"You aren't making any sense…"

"You think you know more than the teachers and the professors?", Deris asked.

"Uh, that's not what I mean…"

Rex realized that their friendship was going to get destroyed if he were to continue arguing about it. But he couldn't stand and watch someone learn the wrong thing.

Thus, he said, "Why don't you try using that?"

"…"

"Use?", Deris was even more confused when Rex mentioned that.

"Yes, try enchanting this book.", Rex handed out one of his textbooks from the ring.

"If the mana diagram works just like you mentioned, then this book should get enchanted and every time anyone touches it, he would get a light shock."

"…"
