Dongdong shook her head, pointed her finger at the people lying on the ground not far away, and whispered to Dongdong, "Those are the ones. They were probably taught a lesson by this big brother. Big brother, thank you. Mi'er didn't mean it, please forgive her."
The young girl turned her gaze to Alex, full of gratitude. Her voice was soft and sweet, and she spoke so pleasantly, as if afraid Alex wouldn't forgive them, sounding humble and very comfortable to the ear.
Moreover, Alex knew that Mi'er had only misunderstood him for a bad person, so he wasn't very angry. Instead, he felt sorry for being too heavy-handed.
"I thought she was an accomplice of those people, so I was a bit heavy-handed. Your name is Mi'er, right? I'm sorry," Alex said to Mi'er with an apologetic look.
Mi'er glanced at him, gave a light huff, and turned her head away angrily.
Alex showed a helpless expression, but he didn't expect Mi'er to forgive him. Seeing her attitude, he intended to leave. Inadvertently, however, Alex glanced at the experience points for his Grappling Technique.
Experience Points: 1/10.
Alex was stunned. Recalling the series of actions just now, there was no doubt that this point of experience came from the result of using the Grappling Technique on Mi'er.
Before using the Grappling Technique on Mi'er, the experience was zero, but after catching her, it became one. What did this represent? It meant that the leveling effect of the Grappling Technique was manifested on Mi'er. Could this girl be a Daughter of Heaven?
That shouldn't be the case. Alex continued to think. First of all, the biggest difference between Mi'er and those young men was gender. Could it be that the Grappling Technique only increases experience when used on girls?
Alex stood frozen like a wooden chicken, thinking that this must be the reason. This skill was just too... something. As expected of something produced by a treasure chest, it must be a Gentleman's Product.
"Big brother, Mi'er is just proud. She doesn't mean to blame you. Please don't be angry with her, okay?"
Dongdong's cautious words rang in his ears. Alex snapped back to his senses and realized that his sudden silence had made the two young girls anxious. They were looking at him cautiously, even the previously arrogant Mi'er was no exception.
Seeing Mi'er's behavior, Alex also understood that the reason she refused to say she forgave him was just because she felt embarrassed for having targeted the wrong person and didn't know how to back down. Her nature was still good.
He smiled and said, "I was just thinking about something. I don't mean to blame you, don't worry."
Having finally figured out how to level up the skill, although it was a bit of a pitfall, Alex was still in a good mood, and his smile became a few shades brighter than usual.
Being able to catch Freya's eye, Alex's looks were naturally quite high. His outstanding appearance paired with a gentle smile, plus the fact that he was someone who could fight and had just dealt with the bad guys who bullied Dongdong—the way he looked while smiling was undoubtedly extremely handsome in the eyes of the two innocent young girls, and they couldn't help but be mesmerized.
It took a while for them to snap out of it. They lowered their heads in shame, blushing at their own lack of modesty. To have stared at the big brother for so long was truly shameless. Would the big brother misunderstand them as bad girls?
The two young girls stole a glance at Alex and were relieved to see that he didn't show any particular expression.
Alex said, "It's almost time for class. Don't wander around. I'm leaving now."
"Which school is big brother from?" Dongdong asked.
Alex pointed his finger in the direction of the school.
"It's not very far from our school. Big brother, can we go find you to play?"
Dongdong asked shyly.
Alex was amused by her cute appearance and nodded. "Of course you can, you're welcome anytime. But remember to be careful when you go out. If you meet bad people, run and find someone to help."
"Mm, Dongdong will remember."
Dongdong nodded heavily.
Mi'er suddenly said, "My sister also studies at that school. We'll meet again."
Alex smiled and teased, "Then next time you see me, remember not to sneak attack."
Mi'er's pretty face turned red. She bit her lip and turned her face away, saying coolly, "You're not a bad person, so I won't attack you. I only hate bad people."
Dongdong's timid voice sounded from beside her: "Mi'er, big brother has already left."
Mi'er was startled. She turned her little head back and stared blankly at Alex's receding figure.
"Mi'er, big brother is such a good person. He's handsome and powerful. If only Dongdong had a brother like that."
Dongdong held her hands to her chest and said admiringly, looking like a total fangirl.
Mi'er gave her a disdainful glance and said, "What's good about being his sister? If you're going to be something, be his brother! He's too handsome; being his brother would definitely be super prestigious."
Mi'er's eyes also turned into heart shapes.
Dongdong's mouth twitched. Mi'er's thoughts were always so strange. If Mi'er's sister heard that, she wondered if Mi'er would get beaten up. Mi'er's sister was very fierce.
...
Alex arrived at school. There was still some time before class started. He stood on the corridor outside the classroom, pretending to look at the scenery, but he was actually watching the girls coming and going in the corridor.
The girls were uniformly dressed in the school-issued uniforms: a shirt on top and a skirt that didn't reach the knees on the bottom, with their calves exposed, paired with a pair of small leather shoes. It was a beautiful sight in the school.
Many boys stood outside in the corridor as soon as class was over, solemnly appreciating the beauty of the female students. Alex was also staring intently, but unlike the others, he was thinking about what method he could use to use the Grappling Technique on these girls. These were all experience points.
Alex's eyes lit up. Every young girl in his eyes was a sparkling experience chest. However, although he really wanted to take action, his reason told him that doing so would undoubtedly result in social death.
It seemed he could only find one girl and have her cooperate with his practice. But what kind of girl would be willing to do such a thing—having a boy's hands use grappling moves on her delicate body?
Maybe he could pay someone?
However, if word got out, it might turn into some kind of exaggerated rumor. For example, a story might circulate among the students that the delinquent Alex was a sadist who specifically paid girls to mistreat them.
His reputation was already bad enough, and Alex didn't want such an ill name. The most suitable way was still to find a trustworthy and obedient girl to cooperate with his practice.
It just so happened that Alex had such a candidate in mind. She probably wouldn't refuse if he asked for help.
No sooner said than done. Alex's gaze fell upon three figures walking over from not far away. Speak of the devil.
After they approached, Alex said seriously to one of the girls:
"Meiyuan, I have something I need your help with. Let's skip class."
