"I literally sat down here first. And you eat five fucking bowls of food? The fuck? No wonder you're so fat!"

Everlearn cursed, looking at Eloris, who stuffed down plate after plate faster than he was even taking a bite of his own food.

"You eat more, you get more energy." Eloris said, continuing, "We Core Defense guys need more energy than you nerdy ass Mech Institute creeps, you know," Eloris said as Everlearn's left eye twitched.

"You in Core Defense? You?" He asked, looking at the fat thing.

"What can you even defend, with those slabs of fat armor you got on? Can you even run?" Everlearn said, not knowing when he started chuckling, but Eloris didn't mind at all.

"One day, I'll catch your ass in the ring."

"Will show you then what a fat dude is capable of," he said with a proud humph as Everlearn rolled his eyes.

'I'll just flatten you to the ground in seconds.' He thought silently.

He chose to ignore him, but then something came into his mind.

"Wait a minute, how'd you even know I joined Mech Institute? Have you been stalking me?" he asked.

Eloris laughed.

"Thought your little brain won't be able to pick it up, and no, it's not because I'm stalking you."

"Your sorry ass doesn't deserve that much of my time."

"There's a group that does that. Kinda like a special justice group that keeps eyes on the most creepy, annoying ass dudes, and you just happened to be listed there," Eloris said, stuffing down another bowl, and Everlearn raised an eyebrow.

There's such a thing?

"You know you even broke a record. You were added to the hateful list in less than twelve hours after your arrival in the second year."

"I can't wait until you anger some more people and the big sharks in the group place your sorry ass on the Cripple list."

"They'll waste your sorry ass," Eloris said with a wicked cackle, and Everlearn hummed, looking to the side, the far left side.

"So that's why I've been feeling like some people are watching me, huh?" he mused, noticing a dude who was initially looking at him quickly turning his gaze away.

He had noticed the watch on him early this morning while walking on the road, and that feeling intensified during Source Optimization class and on his way to the cafeteria.

But he had shrugged it off as just another eye charmed by his divine heavenly handsomeness.

Who would've guessed it was some creepy dudes who were monitoring his actions and posting the info out on some secret groups?

"Wut? You scared now?" Eloris asked, and Everlearn turned to him with a raised eyebrow.

"You know if you made a video of you kneeling and kowtowing while showing how much you regret your wayward actions to the second years."

"They might just pity your ass enough to remove it from the wicked list," he said, smirking evilly, but his smirk paused when Everlearn asked:

"Are you all gay in the group too?"

"What?"

"All of you are my haters who hate me cause I either kick you too hard in your head or something similar, and you all will let that slide cause of some apology letter?"

"Sounds like some gay shit to me."

"If y'all want revenge, come with your rifles and we'll do a nice shootout like some proper gentlemen."

"The fuck you mean an apology?"Everlearn said, his brows rising in disgust as Eloris' brows quivered in disbelief.

"You bastard. You really won't calm down until you're one foot in the grave, huh?"

"Just keep being wayward, you hear. I'm sure you'll join the other morons like you in the wasteland soon," he said as Everlearn took the last spoon of his bowl, adjusting his belt due to his bulging stomach.

"I'm not wayward. Y'all just can't stand someone being better than you, so y'all get mad."

'Fine to me, though. After all, you all are just EXP's for me to level up,' he completed in his thoughts, picking up his bowl as he walked off the table, dropped the plate, and moved out of the cafeteria.

Eloris watched all of this with quivering eyebrows.

He had expected him to show some fear from hearing he was being monitored by some unknown group in the shadows, yet...

But then he scoffed.

"Cocky bastard. You'll be getting humbled soon."

Class done for the day, the things he needed bought, and his stomach filled.

When Everlearn landed on his sofa, he felt quite satisfied.

Though the day had been hectic, at least he had done things well enough.

His coming three months after the second year, he should have faced more headaches, but he had been able to gather notes.

Though he wouldn't be able to go through them tonight.

The time was already 1:45, and class ought to begin in less than 6 hours.

He wanted some rest for the next day of class.

Maybe on a day when he had just one or two subjects, he could go through the notes, or better yet, do it on the weekend when there would be no classes at all.

Grabbing his device, he quickly set up the alarm and soon, a soft snore was the only thing to be heard in the dim room.

_________

Five days later…

Just as Everlearn feared, he didn't get nights to study his notes at all until today, Saturday.

He knew there were no classes the previous night, and he allowed himself to keep snoring until the sun was very well out.

Only then did he yawn like a well-fed cat, quickly getting himself dressed up before he bounced out of his room.

He had been doing a home-to-class, to cafeteria, back to home, to class, to cafeteria cycle for five days now.

It was time to break away from the annoying circle today.

First, he would go to the cafeteria, and secondly, go for a little walk around the second-year area, visit some place he had never been.

Then he could return and quickly review the notes he had gathered over the past few days.

He had gotten the notes for every topic; all he needed was to read, and that was what he intended to do today and tomorrow.

But he had only just shut his door and taken a step toward the elevator when he found the muscular giant of a lady standing in front of him.

"Uh, Kiara?"
