"I'm glad I wasn't a fool, just like Lee," Xavier muttered.
As much as they wanted to make fun of him, the power demonstrated by Amon to a rookie from an underdeveloped planet, he was a genius. Obviously, everyone who gets accepted at this university is a genius from their country or planet, but it still made them feel surprised.
After getting the girls to calm down, Amon looked at the uniform he was wearing. 'Not damaged.'
"Your uniform is unharmed. It's amazing." Maisa said after taking a good look at him, seeing if he was hurt.
"I also noticed that, if it were common clothes, they would have been destroyed," Barbara commented.
Ariel had a mischievous smile as she let out a giggle, then started talking, "Hehee~ Amon did this for us, yes? He even got angry; it makes me a little happy~."
Ariel teased as she ran her hand over Amon's face, and her hand slipped out and touched his chest.
Barbara and the twins were restless, 'Will Ariel start 'investing' in Amon too?'
At least they hoped she didn't, considering Ariel was a complete package. Charming, with bigger breasts than theirs, charismatic, strong, etc.
She had so many qualities that she would be a great potential enemy, mainly because she was a childhood friend, and, in the stories, the childhood friends always win, at least almost always.
'I can't let this happen?!' Barbara and the twins were thinking almost at the same time.
Ariel saw the girls' expressions change. She did it just to provoke them, and, seeing that it worked, she smiled even more. However, her smile confused the girls, thinking that Ariel might actually be trying to be with Amon.
"I'm hungry." Ariel broke the ice that formed.
This made them remember that it had been some time since they had eaten.
Barbara said as she pointed to the line, "These are first-year students like us, so maybe it's good and cheap."
"I'll pay, let's go." Amon took the lead by joining the queue.
The girls were surprised by this but soon looked at each other and laughed.
Following him, Ariel and the girls joined the line.
A girl who was in the middle of the group in line asked in a friendly voice, "Hello, my name is Nikita Haramura, just like you, this is my first year."
Ariel and the girls seeing her being kind returned the greeting.
"Tell me," Nikita smiled, "Are you as strong as student Amon?" She looked at him when asking.
Ariel chuckled, "Hehe, wouldn't you be better off finding out for yourself? How about, let's have a duel?"
At the same time, she has already sent out a duel invitation, betting all her credits.
The girl Nikita was taken aback. The rest of her was frozen in the smile. Then, coming back to herself, she laughed apologetically, "Haha, better not."
"Is that so?" Ariel smiled, not caring.
The rest of the group in line was disoriented, and the confidence Ariel had didn't seem to be forged, so... Would she be as strong as newbie Amon? Or maybe stronger?
Since most of them have already dueled this week and didn't intend to challenge them now without knowing their real strength.
Another student in line muttered, "I think Student Amon is as strong as Shanks."
On the other hand, one girl frowned, "No, Shanks is the genius of martial arts, not to mention that he holds the genes of light and ice. He's on another level."
'Shanks...' Amon was a little interested, however, not for long. He came to know that there were many geniuses, and most of the second year is stronger than him, so the number of opponents he could fight was great.

Those who were watching the duel via live stream were holding their breath as it ended.
They hadn't seen such an aggressive attack coming from a student who had just arrived.
How did they know Amon was new to the university? Easy, after searching for facial recognition, all the student information that was collected will be seen. Now even his lightning gene and its level of 61 have been shown.
Automatically, many started sharing as soon as the duel ended. The potential of a new rising genius was of interest to many students.
Some even made memes from the moment Amon started electrocuting student Gean Lee. Within minutes, this meme went viral.

It was time for Amon and the girls to enter the restaurant.
"And to think that this restaurant belonged to a third year…" Barbara muttered.
This information she gained by listening to the conversations of the other students in the queue. She didn't know if they did it on purpose, wanting to give them some information for free, but whatever it was, now, both she and Amon, Ariel, Julia, and Maisa knew that the stores at the university were for students and professors.
Ariel, who surfed the internet through her wristwatch, said with a small smile, "This is interesting, there is also a credit rank. Every month those ranked are rewarded with genetic serum. Something created through science, with the purest genetic energy, that makes it easy to get clean and open new empty genes."
Obviously, this type of serum was highly desired by the students, and an easier way to get the genes open was what they wanted the most. But, it was not that easy to get, and without getting a good rank in the ranking, you end up being rewarded with credit instead of genetic serum.
"Let's talk about it later. There's already a free table, let's sit down first." Julia said.
"Over here, please." A boy in a waiter's uniform signaled for them to go ahead.
As they walked, many students were seated around round tables while placing orders on holographic screens and chatting at the same time.
The local lighting was done by RGB, sometimes it was red, then blue, etc.
In the background, a slow song that was very pleasant to listen to was playing. It wasn't too loud or too quiet, and instead, it was at the perfect volume so as not to disturb the customers.
"This is your table." The waiter said when they arrived almost in the middle of the restaurant, near an illustrated pillar that had colorful fish swimming inside those pillars that seemed to support the restaurant.
"Thanks."
They sat down.
Since he didn't recognize them, the waiter gave a light introduction to how orders were placed and the restaurant's rules. After that, he left.
Maísa looked at the pillar with fish as soon as the waiter had left and asked doubtfully, "How is this done? Is this pillar fake?"
Like Amon, the girls also looked.
Amon then said as he gently tapped his finger and saw the fish approaching his finger, "It looks real, but I have the feeling it's a canvas all around."
"But if so, why did the fish follow your finger?" Maisa asked but soon thought it was a silly question.
"Even the simplest games, if you put your finger on the screen, they can run away or even go towards your finger," Julia replied.
"I've already decided what I'm going to order," Ariel said. She stopped fiddling with the holographic screen that appeared in front of her.
"I'll choose now." Barbara looked at the menu on the panel. She didn't want to exploit Amon, who was paying, so she chose something simple that cost 1 credit.
Julia and Maisa did the same.
