After that, the rest of the things the pig person spoke were meaningless, since Alexa found that she was not going to get anything out of the contest from the exam war it was useless, useless!

So she spent the rest of the time prodding and poking Glory and being poked and prodded back; some of the teachers and a few of the other students did turn to stare at them, but since no one said anything, Alexa carried on with her poking and prodding. Glory didn't seem to notice it either, for someone who had complained about stares a few minutes ago that was funny.

But then again, Alexa was built differently, quite literally, since she had built herself differently from how Glory was built.

For starters, Alexa didn't have as many mana pathways made manually; since she could move her nanites all around, these were better to move her mana wavelengths around. Or perhaps she could build mana pathways?

Alexa would need to check on that; she didn't like the fact that both Alan and Glory had a physical [Core] within their bodies; most of the [Core Users] she had seen didn't have one, or they only had it while using their [Core Powers]...

[Golem] excepted, but he was a failed [Core Trigger], so perhaps it was that? Unless the actual [Failed] were the ones that had triggered, right? Alexa would need to put Ale and Alexandra to check on that.

"And that will be all for this assembly," The pig person suddenly oinked in a stronger voice, scaring Alexa and making her turn to look at him, Alexa glared at the pig person for scaring her, rude! The pig was being rude! "...."

And now he was merely gulping while sweating like a pig! Why did he get her attention then?!?!?!

"As a last announcement, most of you may have noticed new students in your classes," The pig person said, showing a list on a big TV screen that slowly came from the ceiling; what was with this school and big TV screens? Did they have one everywhere? "This is a list of all the classes across the years and how many students got around to those classrooms."

The list was….weird; if Alexa was counting the numbers right, these were the total of students that had been in her classroom with Miss [Baker].

"We got the clear for those students to return to their former classrooms," The pig person said as a notification came to Alexa's cellphone, "An email will arrive to the students in question and to their parents, as an apology for the sudden change we are willing to allow those students to take a placement exam, if they pass it with good enough grades they may remain in their new classroom or even move to a superior one…should they wish that."

"Weird, why would anyone not want to remain in the better class?" Glory said, pulling her cell phone, "No notification for me; what about you, Alan?"

"Why would they send one to us? We didn't exchange classrooms." Alan said, pulling his cell phone, "See? Nothing either…"

Alexa pulled her phone and sure enough, there was a notification," Alexa has one," Alexa said opening the message, sure enough it had a date and time for an exam…if she wanted to take one."

"...Oh right, Alexa came from another class…" Alan suddenly said, as if he had forgotten, how could they forget that?

"She did?" Glory said confused, "But…she is Alexa."

….She was indeed Alexa.

"Weren't you a transfer student?" Glory asked, tilting her head, "You are smart and cute after all."

…..So this was how Alexandra felt when Alexa said good things about her huh?

"Yes, Alexa transferred from the E-Class." Alexa said nodding, "I was in Miss [Baker] 's class, Eleanore said that it was the bestests class for Alexa, so she picked that one."

That felt so long ago…even though allegedly, it was less than a week ago. Time was weird when so many things happened, and one didn't keep good control of time…and had a series of consciousness streams all over the place while trying to explain chaos from the point of view of an Alexa. Not that Alexa was someone to complain about it, she liked her life as it was after all.

"So, when is your exam?" Alan asked, opening another page on his phone, "I don't see any scheduled examination on the site, so they may be private? They usually let other people see these."

"Dunno, Alexa is not going to take it after all." Alexa said, shrugging and pocketing her phone.

"....You are not?" Alan asked confused, "Why?"

"You don't want to be in our class anymore?" Glory said with tears forming in her eyes, "You don't want to be my friend anymore?"

"?" Alexa was confused at this, "But Alexa is Glory's friend, but she made the promise to be in Miss [Baker] 's class, so she needs to return…besides we can still be friends!"

They could still be the bestests of friends! It's not like Alexa would forget about them just because they were in another classroom! Also, Glory was kind of dumb right now, so maybe she would end up falling down to her classroom anyway… heheheh.

"....Is it because of the teaching?" Alan asked after thinking for a few seconds, "Or….because you don't need it?"

"Alexa just came to school to play around," Alexa said shrugging, "She wanted her school arc, the internets people said that school arcs were fun."

It had been fun, though, but she also needed to return to her own classroom; she had barely stepped into her classroom! What about her romance! Her club! Her school thingies!

"Unlike usual examinations, these will be private and set up to the degree of classroom you want to achieve, they will be open only to those students that got moved to other classes." The pig person said suddenly as if he had waited for Alexa to make her points to Alan and Glory, "They will be harder than the normal ones, and any student of those that move can decide the degree of difficulty."

"....surely that doesn't mean…" Alan said turning to look at Alexa.

"As such, if any of you got into the B-Class but have no confidence of matching it, they can ask for the C-Class, D-Class, or E-Class exam." The pig person oinked away the answer, "In a similar measure, an E-Class student can ask for an exam of a superior class….included the Classroom of the Elite."

"Oh, we can get new schoolmates!" Glory said, smiling while turning to Alan, "I wonder how many new friends will we get?"

"....probably less than you think," Alan said shaking his head.

"Why?" Glory asked, "Alexa, how many friends do you think we will get?"

"Hmm….Alexa is not sure…The teacher person didn't seem to be teaching normal things…so if they get an exam in the things that the teacher person asked…" Alexa said remembering the classes she had so far, the most normal one had been about [Math], but even that… wasn't with content found in her school books. Alexa had no problem with that since Main Core was good at [Math], "But I hope plenty people."

"Any questions?" The pig person said turning to stare straight at Alexa, ewww. A pig was staring at Alexa.

"Me!Me!" Glory said raising her hand and jumping to make sure everyone knew she had a question.

"....Yes Lady Blackthorn?" The pig person said turning to look at Glory as a microphone came from the ceiling and stopped in front of Glory.

"How many new friends are we getting?" Glory asked the pig.

And the pig, as pigs do answered, "...As many as they pass the test, you are aware that as a part of the Classroom of the Elite, you are way above the standards of your other peers, right?"

Glory turned to look first to Alexa, then to Alan, and lastly to the other classroom of the elite students who looked at her weirdly, "I mean…duh, but if the past the exam they will be our classmates right? So how many will pass?" Glory asked again.

"....I am not…" The pig person said confused, "...Sure if you understand what you are asking, they will pass if they prepared well enough during their time in other classrooms, we don't control who…"

The pig person turned to look at Alexa, then to the box in the wall where Alexanders was, "...We don't control who passes or not, that is up to the students in question." Why was he staring weirdly at Alexa?

"....did you do anything to Principal Hamilton?" Alan asked Alexa in a hushed voice, "He keeps staring at you."

"I know!" Alexa said in a not hushsed voice, "It's weird, why is the pig person staring so much?!?!? It gives Alexa the heebie-heebies!"

Alexa was not entirely sure what that was, but having a pig person look at her that much gave her those!

"....A pig?" Alan asked confused.

"Where is the piggie?!?!?!" Glory screamed, making the other students look around.

"I TOLD YOU I WASN'T CRAZY! SEE! THAT GIRL ALSO SEES IT!" And Alexa heard Alexanders scream that from his box.

"....He is there wearing a tuxedo and everything," Alexa said, pointing at the pig person.

"The muscular man in the stands has the piggie?!?!?!" Glory said, glaring at the pig person.

"...Alexa, that's Principal Kendrick Hamilton." Alan said, "What are you saying?"

"Hahahahahahahaahhahahahahahahahah!" Alexa was distracted as she heard the voice of the purple woman laughing from the box, had the cheating Alexanders brought his weird Ai again?

".....If that was all your questions, then the assembly is dismissed." The pig person said pressing one of his hooved legs to his face, was he trying to facepalm? It was weird, to facepalm you needed hands, silly pig person. He didn't have hands…

"Me!" Glory said raising both hands and jumping, "I want to see the piggie!"

"....Miss Blackthorn, I can assure you, there are no animals within the school compound at the moment, at the very least…there are no pigs." The pig person lied straight to Glory's face, as if he wasn't a pig and within the compound.

"Aww…..I wanted to see the piggie…" Glory said, deflating, "I'll ask Papa for a piggie."

And like that, Glory resolved the issue of wanting to see a pig…Alexa wasn't sure why she would want a pig, all the pigs that Alexa had seen gave her the weird jebs. Look at him! All…pink….and round….with hooves and whatnot, weird. The pig person was weird! Why was he even wearing a tuxedo?!?!?!

That was for humans! or Humanoids! He was a pig! Act like one!

Even so, Alexa would get to the bottom of this! She couldn't allow this travesty to carry on! A pig acting like a [Human]?!?!? She was sure this was something that the cheating Alexanders had done! Surely…surely this was not normal!

I mean…Alexa had seen a machine in [Vulcanus] pretending to be human…. And there was [Frank the Bettle], who was more insect than [Human]....And there was also Sam who was kind of [Half Spider]... And [Golem] who was more dirt, rocks and metals…and the weird [Girl - Cat]...

Actually Alexa had seen plenty people that was way less [Human]...

….

"Oh…" Alexa said aloud as the realization came, she had ignored how most of the other students had left, and how the pig person left too.

"What's the matter, Alexa?" Alan asked standing up and helping Glory stand up, rude. He didn't help Alexa stand up.

"...The pig person isn't the weirdest [Human] that Alexa has seen." Alexa said turning to Alan, "But somehow he is the one that bothers Alexa the most."

"Why is he a pig?" Alan asked straight up at Alexa, "I know you never say anything for saying it, you have been mostly honest and explained things when asked, but why are you saying that he is a pig?"

"...because he is a pig?" Alea said the question back, "He has pink pig skin, pig ears, pig mouth, pig nose, he has hooves…"

Alexa wasn't sure what Alan was asking, "He IS a pig…or well, a [Pig Core]? Alexa hadn't thought that maybe he was a [Core User], but he never looked like one…."

"....The Principal isn't a Core user, he is 100% normal." Alan said shaking his head, "If he had a Core he would advertise it, trust me. He is 100% not a Core User."

"Then why is he a pig?" Alexa asked confused, "You saw him."

"Yes, I saw a normal male human. Not average, since he has a built body. He exercises in the school gym every morning and goes running with the track team." Alan said turning to look in the direction the pig had left, "He is an upstanding member of society, so it is weird that you think he is a pig."

….BUT HE WAS A PIG!

"Perhaps you are under the effect of a Core User? Something that makes you see him as a pig?" Alan said, shrugging, "I don't know any Core that would have that effect, but then again. Yesterday I wasn't a Core User, so weirder things ought to be around."

….Was she? Was Alexa under the effect of a Core?

Main Core! Is Alexa under the effect of a [Core]?

"[Answer to Query: No foreign Mana Wavelenght detected within Host, probability of being under the influence of a perception change is at 3%.]"

…So it wasn't Zero….but it wasn't high enough to think of it as a real possibility.

"Alexa doesn't think so," Alexa said shaking her head, "But Alexa really saw him as a pig… how does the pig person look to you Alan? Glory?"

"Like a normal adult, he likes to wear expensive suits and wears shirts that allow you to see his abs." Alan answered.

"Like a nice old guy?" Glory said tilting her head slightly to the side and closing her eyes while thinking more, "He has a nice haircut and looks like the kind of person that would give candy if you ask?"

"....Never take any candy from the pig person," Alexa said earnestly; why? She wasn't sure. But she was sure that his candy was a trap, of what? She wasn't sure. But she was sure it was! It was a bribe! It was a trap! It was…It was….Why was Alexa so sure of that?

Huh?

"Okay!" Glory said, nodding, "But you must continue to play with me in exchange!"

Alexa nodded to that, she would like to play with Glory too.

"....I am with Alexa in the You must not take candy for strangers," Alan said from the side, "Let a maid or servant take the candy for you, but don't eat them unless they check them first."

Oh, that was an option? No wait.

"Why not take candy from strangers?" Alexa asked confused, "Those are the best candies…They are surprise candy!"

"Didn't you just say not to take candy from Mr Hamilton?" Alan asked confused, "It's the same, if you take candy from strangers they may kidnap you and do bad stuff to you."

"They would?" Alexa asked, confused, "But the last time they gave candy to Alexa, she got a neat paralyzing formula and dinner…"

Alexa had liked that formula; she also got tons of new chemical compounds from that one guy. Also Alexandra got PTSD, but that was beside the point; they had removed those memories already, so all was fine!

".....Alexa….did you get drugged?" Alan asked with worry, "...did they…?"

"Alexa didn't got drugged, she checked the compounds and removed them, from her system when she noticed the bad in them." Alexa said nodding sagely, "Also she got lunch, so everything was fine!"

Except for the lunch person, but he practically gave himself to Alexa, so really, it wasn't Alexa's fault! If he didn't want to get nomed, he shouldn't have brought Alexa to a place that was perfect for Alexa to nom on him!

"....okay, so long you are okay." Alan said, confused, "But anyway, maybe get that checked out? I haven't seen anything like someone seeing a non-Core User as a pig…Well, I guess from the scream whatever they did to you affected your brother too?"

Oh right, Alexanders also screamed that the pig person was a pig!

Perhaps…it had something to do with her blueprint? Alexanders may know who seeded it there? Or why they seeded like that? Alexa didn't mind it that much, if the pig person was a pig then he was a pig. But she was now curious about that. Another thing to ask when she got the chance, but for now…

For now, she needed to do something more important than this…Something that required her full focus!

"What are you going to do now?" Alan asked as he noticed that Alexa had stood up (Without his help, since he was being rude).

"Alexa is going to go home!" Alexa said with all the seriousness a serious business Alexa could muster, "Ale doesn't seem like she is going to wake up soon, nor is Alexandra…So she will go get [Big Sister] and tell her that, then Alexa is going home."

"....Oh," was all that Alan said, "Well, we will go speak with our parents, we got to explain that we triggered our Cores at the same time, and see about going through the registration of the Core Powers."

Ah, right, people registered their Core powers….that was dumb. Registering was dumb, Alexa wondered how many [Villains] had registered…She hoped that not many….

Not that she would register, she would never do that…

"Good luck!" Alexa said, turning around and preparing to scatter. It was time to….to….Abscond. So Alexa ran away screaming at the top of her lungs while placing her hands pointing back and running, "Weeeeeeeeeeeee!"

Nailed it.
