Chapter 2: First Member
[Danger! Another Alpha is nearby. Prepare for battle.]
What do you mean 'prepare for battle:? I don't even know how to fight!
Elian felt a surge of panic run through his body, as he stared at the notification on his phone.
He recalled the message that he had received, explaining to him the rules of the game.
The Alpha's are all students from other schools. That means, if one is nearby, then I should be able to notice them from our uniform.
The Rosebury uniform was red, with the symbol of a black rose on the chest. If someone were to infiltrate his school, searching for him, he should be able to notice them easily.
He looked out of the school window, scanning the hundreds of students that were exiting the school gate, but some of them were only wearing their white t-shirts, making it more difficult for him.
No. It should still be easy to spot them. School is over, so nobody should be trying to enter the school.
Come on, come on.
He strained his eyes against the crowd, trying his best to spot them.
There!
He spotted a blonde male, tall and handsome, re-entering the school. With him was a beautiful woman with long black hair, and she followed closely behind him at all times.
They seemed relatively normal, both seamlessly blending in to the crowd. But there was a suspicious look to them.
Is that him? They're both wearing white shirts, but no Rosebury uniform.
Bzztt
His phone vibrated, and he checked it for the notification.
[You have spotted at Alpha.]
So that's him!
He tapped the notification, and it brought him to a new page.
A tab had opened on the Harem Trials app called, 'Alpha's'.
On the screen, it showed him a picture of the blonde man, with some information beneath it.
[Adam Checker.
Class: Unknown
Harem Members: Mercy Alavon.]
It wasn't much information, and he assumed that he would be given more information after interacting with the man, but he didn't plan to.
Mercy Avalon must have been the girl with him.
He watched as they continued walking closer to the school, looking around carefully.
If he has a harem member already, how am I meant to possibly fight him?
As he was lost in his thoughts, Elian made a grave mistake.
The Alpha named Adam was scanning the windows of the building and managed to lock eyes with Elian.
Elian tried to quickly look away so as not to make It obvious, but it was too late.
In the corner of his eye, he noticed Adam pull out his phone and read something on it.
After he was done, he smirked and placed the phone away, murmuring something to the girl beside him
Shit! The Harem Trials app just told him that he saw me.
Then, Adam and Mercy started running into the building.
Elian turned around and picked up his bag, sprinting out of the classroom. The school was almost empty now, with only a few people lingering in the classes.
But no one batted an eye as he sprinted down the corridors.
As if he was invisible.
What type of buffs does he get from already having a harem member? And how did he even know to come here so fast!
He sprinted up the stairs, heading to the floor above. He had to lose them if he wanted any chance at.. surviving?
Is he here to kill me? Has he accepted the rules of the game so easily?
Then, an idea popped into his head.
It was a desperate idea. But it was the only thing he could think of.
Elian pulled out his phone, opened Alice Glory's contact information, and started sending her a text message.
[Come to the rooftop fast. Please!]
He didn't care about how weird the message made him look. He needed any chance he could get.
If he was lucky, Adam and Mercy would search every classroom before heading to the rooftop. He had a chance.
As he burst through the door leading to the roof, he received a message.
From Alice.
[Be there in a minute x]
Yes!
Now he just had to wait.
---
"Elian, are you there?"
Elian came out from his hiding spot, his heart beating fast, but his luck had worked for him.
As he stepped out from behind the wall, he saw Alice Glory standing there.
She looked even hotter than she had before. The school jumper was off, so she only wore her right white shirt.
The three buttons were undone, only slightly revealing the top of her breasts, and her skirt had been pulled up extra high to show her white thighs. Like she was trying to seduce him.
What does she think I planned to do to her up here?
"Is everything alright?" She said, noticing the stares that he was giving her and the frightened look on her face.
He shook his head, clearing his thoughts and calming himself down.
Wait. I brought her up here, but I have no idea how to initiate the Harem.
...
Do I need to confess? Ask her out.
His thoughts were cut off as Alice spoke first; her cheeks suddenly began to blush as she twiddled her fingers around.
Never in his years at school had he seen her act like this. So shy.
"I don't know why, but I feel as though I'm being drawn to you... There's something special about you but I can't quite figure out what."
Then, he suddenly felt it. Something deep inside of him.
Not only had the opportunity presented itself to him by the words that Alice spoke. But deep down, something had whispered to him the means to start his Harem.
He walked over to Alice, face calm and confident. There was no time to waste.
"Elian? What are you-"
He wrapped his hands around her waist and pulled her into a hug.
Something told him that he must start with a hug. Trying to go too far straight away would ruin the initiation process. That would be saved for a later time, and come naturally.
As they hugged, he felt her soft breasts press against his chest.
She returned the embrace, wrapping her arms around him. And then, the process began.
The same feeling he had felt before, was coming upon him again, but more intense. And it seemed like Alice was feeling it, too.
An ethereal energy seemed to fill his body, but this time it did not stay there. It branched out from his body and created an unseen connection to the woman he was hugging.
Her face showed a look of what seemed to be pleasure, and her arms wrapped tighter around him.
They slowly let go of the hug, and he stared into her green eyes.
Alice was looking at him with love on her face. Or perhaps lust.
He had never seen a woman look at him with such wanting eyes.
"That was incredible.♡" She said, exasperated. Voice soft and alluring. "No one's ever been able to make me feel that way before.♡"
Bzztt.
Taking his attention away from Alice, Elian pulled out his phone to check the new notification.
