During the day, the sports teacher announced something unexpected. "In this lesson, you have to run around the soccer field for five rounds."

"Whataa?" Shouts students in the field simultaneously.

"But sir, it's very hot now." Complaints of a female student named Mika.

"There are no complaints. Within a week, our school will select two male students and two female students to take part in the national marathon in the student category. This father's class will select the talents of each class and he will choose four people who represent our school."

In three consecutive years, their school always has students who enter the top ten in the race which allows them to get a golden ticket to bring their four students directly to the national level race without selection from each region.

This year, the chairman and one of the club members managed to escape from the regional level race and certainly follow the upcoming race.

With four more golden tickets, the school will send six students including the chairman and one member of the running club in the race.

Making sure the students were in a ready position, the gym teacher held a stopwatch in his right hand and then shouted, "Start!"

Each student ran immediately around the football field.

Some students are tempted by the greeting of the teacher who informs them the prize amount of each champion. One of the students is Alex.

Alex is seen exerting his running ability to the fullest extent possible which surprises the gym teacher and other students in the class.

'Hm. Alex right? His stamina is quite good, but with such a running technique he will quickly fatigue.' Think the sports teacher saw Alex who had surrounded the football field as much as one parade.

Not long after, Alex made them surprised again to see that he still did not reduce his speed in running after completing the fourth round.

'No way. Where did Alex's stamina come from? Though his body looks thin and not powered.' The teacher was surprised.

On the fifth round, Alex felt fatigue all over his body. His breathing sounded irregular with sweat pouring out all over his body.

"Bahhh.. Huhh.. It seems like this is all thanks to increasing my vitality. But of course it doesn't make me as strong as Superman in the movie." Alex struggled with all his might even though his body was already screaming to rest.

He had thought of sacrificing a hundred gold coins and increasing his vitality, but that thought he immediately rejected.

He had to be careful in increasing his strength in order for others not to see him as a freak. He also must not sacrifice the remaining gold coins without a second thought and must think of a way to obtain as many gold coins as possible in the future.

The gym teacher marked the moment after Alex completed his fifth round. Although Alex remains first in this class, the fifth round is much longer than the previous four rounds.

The sports teacher thought that although Alex might not be among the two fastest male students in the selection at this school, he was not, he still has to put Alex in the team and take out the last of the two male students later.

But a marathon is not a hundred-meter race. Running tempo should be stable and adjusted to the runner's breathing so that stamina is maintained when running.

"Your running technique isn't good Alex. At the race, I want to see you perform well." The sports teacher subconsciously voiced his thoughts to Alex that he would be one of the participants. The sports teacher intends to train Alex for the next week so that his running technique becomes even better.

"Good sir." Hearing that Alex excitedly thought about the prize money from the race.

He intends to train as best as possible to become a champion without increasing his vitality.

In the classroom, several students are seen surrounding Alex "Woahh Alex. I didn't think you were so good at running." Tomi, a famous student of humor in class, pats Alex's shoulder proudly.

"Hahaha, I also just realized." Alex was embarrassed to hear his classmates' praise.

"I'm sure you'll represent our school later. If you're a champion, don't forget to treat us. Haha."

Hearing Tomi's words, the class president named William rebuked her. "Hey Tomi, have you forgotten how Alex is doing?"

"Eh?" Tomi was confused for a moment and realized something. "Sorry.. Sorry, I didn't mean anything bad."

"It's okay. If I'm a champion, I'll buy something. Besides according to what the teacher said, the reward is huge." Alex didn't mind Tomi's words.

"Okay, Alex. I'm hoping you'll be a champion."

The students laughed at Tomi's words.

"But wasn't Helen really fast?" A student named Vivi.

"really? I didn't notice it." Ask Mika.

"I stopped in the second round and watched the others. Helen successfully completed five rounds and defeated most of the male students." Vivi rarely does physical activity that causes her to get tired quickly. He stopped in the second round then was startled after seeing some students had already finished completing five rounds. Shortly after he noticed some male students who had completed five rounds, he was startled again by seeing Helen who was recorded by the gym teacher had completed the run as well.

"Wow great. By the way where's Helen?" Mika is amazed by Helen who defeats most of the male students in the class

They looked around the classroom and did not see Helen.

"Well, as usual, he disappeared from the classroom." Tomi shook her head because it was a habit of Helen who was often invisible if needed in class.

"Alex, are you working today? We were planning to study together at William's house. Do you want to come?." Tomi invites Alex to study together to prepare for their final exams at High School.

Although Alex's classmates rarely take the initiative to talk to her, Tomi is an exception. He would occasionally talk to Alex regardless of Alex's difficult living conditions.

Tomi's father died when she was a child, which made her mother have to work hard to meet the needs of Tomi and her two younger sisters.

Tomi is amazed by Alex who is not desperate with the difficult circumstances of his life so he will sometimes invite him to talk even though his friends do not do it.

"I'm not working today. But I have plans for tonight." Alex refused his invitation.

"really? What are you doing tonight?" Ask Tomi curiously.

"Alright, well, Alex also has a life of his own. Don't bother with his personal life." William the class president stopped Tomi. "But Alex, if you need anything or face any problems, don't hesitate to tell us." William tells Alex.

"Hm. Then I want to ask you something." Alex thought of something after hearing William's statement.

"What's that?"

"Do you know of a place that can be rented cheaply?"

"For what? Do you want to move?" William as the class leader certainly knew where Alex lived in the middle of the forest. He thinks Alex wants to move because the distance he lives with the school is quite far.

"Not that. I was thinking of opening a business selling food." Moments ago on the magic planet, Alex's clone bought daily necessities from the village chief like rice, vegetables, and more.

Alex was surprised to learn that it was so cheap. He bought one sack of rice for one silver coin, Five chickens for one silver coin, and a number of vegetables for a total price of forty copper coins, then Alex's clone puts it all in the inventory. After the chicken was cut and cleaned.

Alex has several plans to make money in this world as well as in the wizarding world.

Here, he would open a business in terms of food with materials purchased from the magical world.

In the world of magic he had some thoughts, but first he would sell medicines purchased from this world to the villagers and merchants who would distribute them to the villages around Rod village.
