Alexander Sirius carefully took out a golden necklace from his pocket. He held it in his hands while grinning.

"Happy Birthday, Sandra. Here is my present for you" Alex happily said

In front of him, was a girl with a ponytail. Her face is slightly beautiful with a graceful body. Looking at her is a sole motivation for Alex, but his happy face suddenly froze after what he heard next.

"I'm not going to accept this shitty necklace, I'm breaking up with you" Sandra said

Alexander Sirius is a 16 years old boy with poor motivation toward his life. In his house, his parents only sent a cold glare every time he met them, while his younger sister beating him up. His younger sister is a beautiful girl with so many talents. She always gets number one position in the school. That's one of the reasons why his parents hate him. The big brother is so useless and his sister is having too many talents.

In school, he has poor performances, resulting in him at the bottom, he got bullied with his classmates too. So he always went to school with eyes looking like dried fish. Sandra was the only one who treated him indifferently, after 2 years he finally confessed to her and she accepted. That was the happiest day for him, that's why after he heard what she said, he felt the world seems broken because he never expected to be met by this kind of response.

"Why?" Alex asked with no energy in his eyes.

"Because you are poor with no potential!" Sandra said. She held up her new necklace and said sarcastically, "This is Diamond necklace. I could buy many of this. And I can easily get this and many more goodies as much as I'd Like because my new boyfriend will pay for it! Is that reason good enough ?"

True, because of Alex's poor performance, his parents never give him allowances, to buy golden necklaces he got many part-time jobs.

"I never would have taken you for this kind of girl, I thought you are different" Alex said tiredly.

"Don't be silly! This is the reality of life, blame yourself. Your sister and your parents were good but you! You are lucky enough not to be disowned! I will never have a happy life as your wife."

"You..." Biting his lips, His tears almost out.

Suddenly, a BMW stop next to them. The car door opened, and a guy pulled her into the car and grabbed her thigh.

"John Penn!"

He never expected Sandra's new boyfriend to be John. He was Alex's middle school classmate. Even He was rich, he never treated Alex differently in middle school. In Alex second year, John transfer to Alex's school, Alex was happy since he saw his former classmate. But that happiness stop, because what he gets only a cold gaze from John.

John said sarcastically, "You are just a poor loser, but I never thought your girlfriend is this good. It's a waste to become your girlfriend so I pick her up since you are not qualified to even fight me"

He thought a bit. 'yes, I'm just a loser what can I hope from this society'.

"I see, you never see me as your friend. It was foolish thinking for me" Alex said to John.

"Sandra, Thank you for the hope you give me when you become my girlfriend" Alex said to Sandra.

With a little determination in his eyes, he said "If there's a chance, I will surely have my revenge".

"Friend? stop bullshiting. You are just an easy guy to manipulate, I get close to you, so you can become my goofer in middle school" John Said.

"Haha Girlfriend, who? me? stop your wishful thinking. I just use you to be my wallet for a while. Because you are never to be equal to me." She said hatefully.

"You..."Biting his lip, he is running away from them.

'Why? Why? Why?' He though it while running until he found a park. He used to play in this park when he is younger. He sat under a tree and saying repeatedly "Why? Why? Why?" until he collapsed.

Tomorrow

He awake and with a coarse sound, he said "I..., collapsed? wait it's already 8.50, I need to go to school". It's true that Alex was a poor loser, but he still has a good quality in him. That was his discipline. Even with his poor performances, he never skipped school or part-time jobs.

In Free Cloud High school, in the second-year corridor, you can see four peoples chatting merrily.

"What? Do you become John's girlfriend? I'm Jealous", Ayaka Saya, she is a transfer student from Japan and one of John's admirers.

"Really? What about Alex ?". Maria Fergina is Sandra's childhood friend. When she knows Sandra becomes Alex's girlfriend. She worried so much, she repeatedly advised her to rethink her decision.

"Please, don't say any more about him. You also advise me to get away from him, and now here I am." Sandra said.

"But, still..., never mind. If that's your choice I will just support you" Maria Said.

"Yes, I am blessed to have beautiful Sandra to be my girlfriend" John Said.

Suddenly someone running to them, when they saw who it is, they shocked.

"Alex!" four of them said at the same time.

"You guys..." said Alex hatefully.

"Hehe Alex, I thought you are running away and never come here anymore," John said.

"Yeah, yesterday really embarrassing for you Alex" Looking down on him, Sandra said.

"Hey, you two..." Maria trying to stop them. At first, she looked down on Alex because of his poor performance in school, but with his diligence to her childhood friend with his part-time jobs just to buy presents for her, she started to see Alex in a different light.

"You two, I will surely have my ...", before Alex completed his sentences. There's a magic circle suddenly appeared on the floor.

After that day, five of them never saw again on earth.

Report chapter

In Zircodina Kingdom Palace Hall, there's a magic circle in the middle of the hall with five people on it.

One of them said "Ugh..., what happened? where is this ?"

The King stood up and greet them "Welcome to the four heroes to my kingdom, Zircondina. Wait... why there's five of you ?"

"What happened? Where is this? What are you going to do? what heroes ?" John said with a hoarse voice

"What...What...What... Teleported? Summoned? Please send us back." Sandra said

"What do you mean four heroes ?" Maria said while trying hard to calm down.

"What are you going to make us do ?" Ayaka said fearfully.

Only Alex who doesn't have a sound.

"Let me repeat my greeting, welcome to the four... five... well..., welcome to the heroes to my kingdom, Zircodina. I am the current King, my name Faras de Andalla Zircodina. We summoned you because the demons want to destroy the world. Please help us to defeat the demons for the world peace" The king said while feeling very awkward.

"What the hell with this mainstream setting" Said four of them. While Alex still silence.

"Please King, can we go back to our former world ?" Sandra said

"I'm very sorry heroes, we can't send you back to your former world. Since the magic circle we posses is a one-way trip" Said The king with a guilty voice.

"Okay, if you can't send us back, so what should we do next?" suddenly Alex who silence until now, spoke with an uninterested tone.

"Oh... you are very calm.., okay please place your hand on the crystal ball in front of you to get your status card. But before that, let me give you some basic information about this world-first" Surprised with Alex's reaction, King said.

From the king's explanation. This world Agar world consisted of 3 fractions, they are human, demi-human, and demons. There are 3 kingdoms in human territory, they are Zircodina, Acacia, Holy kingdom. Zircodina was known as a military superpower because many great warriors hail from this kingdom.

Acacia Kingdom was the strongest of the three because of its famous academy, Acacia Royal Academy. Many great warriors and magicians hail from this academy including their royal family. While the holy kingdom famous with their church and religion.

Demi-human consists of many races, like elf, dwarf, druid, etc with the council as their leader. While the demon had a similar characteristic as demi-human under the banner of the demon king.

"Since it's like that, I will go first" John said excited face.

"Very well, please put your hand on the crystal" King said

With very excited face John places his hand on the crystal, !pop! A card appeared and the crystal projecting his status.

"What with my status ?" John Startled with the comment, he asked nervously

"Ahem, Let me explain. A level 1 child usually has 10 status points each while an average level for an a.d.u.l.t is 15-20 with 30 status each. So that's why we are very surprised when seeing your status, as expected hero.."King explain carefully

"Hehe, my John really good" Sandra excitedly said while hugging John

"Oh..., haha... it seems my status not bad right haha..., yeah your majesty what is this rank all about ?"

"Let me explain about status and level first. Each level usually gave you 5 status points. It's usually rising according to your job. Now for the rank, in this world, rank divided to 9 which is rank 1 to rank 9, rank can be upgraded every 100 levels. Each time you upgrade rank, each of your status will rise 30-50 points, that's why normally no lower rank can win against higher one excluding you hero, your status points are at normal rank 1 warrior" The king explained to John

"hehe... it seems my status was greater than my expectation...it's me after all. If each 100 rank was 1 rank, then how if I reach level 1000? Will I become rank 10?" John Asked

"According to the legend, only one person has reached rank 10 and ascended. Currently, in this world, there's no rank 9. The last rank 9 appeared 400 years ago. He said when you reach rank 9. Each level will be much harder, it's not like you need to kill many. But it's like an invincible barrier preventing you from leveling up."

"Oh.. sure sure" She didn't think of anything, she just complied happily. She contents with her job so she didn't mind anything. she was someone who thinks as long as the result this was good, she didn't care about the after effect.

"Very well, I will inform him after this"

"Hehe... John, I am good right?" Sandra happily turn to John

"Yes, you are very good too" John said with a smile

"Oh yeah, what about this sage job? Is it on par with archmage ?" Ayaka asked the king

"Yes, Sage is stemmed from the same root with archmage which is a magician. But, our kingdom doesn't have a sage, how about I ask our head court magician to become your teacher too?"

"Sure...sure..." she Happily complied. She thought 'since we have the same teacher, that means all of it depend on ourselves so if I'm better than Sandra then John will look me more '

"You can't beat me" Sandra shrugged her shoulder turning to her childhood friend "How about you next Maria"

"Yes" A few soldiers immediately carried his order

"Your majesty congratulation" Each minister started to congratulate the king

"Haha..." King laughed happily, he thought 'If she can become the priestess. It means my kingdom has a backing of the church'

The ministers know why the king laughing happily since one of the princes have offended one of the church's archbishop, the relation of the kingdom and the church become awkward. But if she becomes priestess means having a relationship with pope successor.

"I'm done now" Said Maria while looking at Alexander

Everyone looking Alexander with a great expectation. They thought the other 4 jobs were great, then the last one will be good too

"Hurry Alexander... not I have an expectation to you though" urged John

Alex only shook his head and sigh. Suddenly the king do something they never thought

"Mr. Alexander, I'm very sorry for dragging you to this world." King apologized and bowing

Everyone perplexed with the king's action. Ministers immediately said "Your majesty, please don't bow to me" while looking Alex hatefully

Noticing Everyone's gaze on him, Alex sigh "Your majesty please don't bow to me. I'm not worth it with your bow."

"Even so, The previous queen mother teaching me, no matter you are a king, commoner or something else. When you are in the wrong you need to apologize"

"It may be rude for me saying this. But, I still want to say it. The previous queen was really wise and above all, she seems a very good mother" Alex said tiredly, he has a bit admiration to the previous queen since she seems wise, thinking his previous family he sighs. "Your majesty, may I request something? I'm a bit tired" Sigh Alex

King looking at Alex and his status sigh "Very well, we will conclude this event. Servant, please guide our heroes to their room"

All the heroes followed the servant to their respective room

Report chapter

At night, in John's room

You can see 2 people, a man and a woman chatting with an evil smile.

"John, I want to make Alexander exile from this kingdom" Said Sandra with a seducing smile

"Hoho, sure. How do you want to do it ?" Asked John

"We can just ask the king. Surely he won't offend both hero and arch mage right for some commoner right? hehe.." Explained Sandra

"Sure, let's do it. You are an evil woman, aren't you... Hehe... But first.." grabbing Sandra's thigh

"Ara.. aren't you are the bad guy here" and you know what happened if a wolf gets seduced by a witch

Meanwhile in Alex's room,

"It's me, Maria" Alex more surprised about the one who came right now.

"Please.. come in" opening his door, Alex said to Maria

"Can we talk?" Asked Maria.

"Yes, Please sit" Alex invited Marian in and pointing at the chair

"I'm sorry for what happened about you and my childhood friend, Sandra." She bowed to Alex

"..." shook his head "It's not even your fault, why you apologized to me? aren't you hate me becoming Sandra's boyfriend?"

Maria Explained guiltily "Yes, at first I don't like you becoming Sandra's boyfriend. But, after I overheard you buying Sandra Golden Necklace with your own hard work. My view of you has changed. But, I never thought Sandra do something like that to you. I'm sorry" Bowing her head once again

"It's alright. With my ability on Earth, it's already good enough to dream like that. I don't have any purpose anymore in my life on Earth. Now, in this world I want to restart my life once again" he said with a determination in his eyes

"Umm... It's good then. if you need my help just ask me. I will try to repay you for what my childhood friend did"

"It's not your fault, you don't need to repay me anything. Besides if what I predicted correct, then you won't have the chance" said Alex with a low voice

"umm... what do you mean?" Maria confused.

"Never mind... All in all, it's not your fault. Since it's already late, we better rest"

"Okay then... Goodnight Alex...ander"

"Yeah good night" After sending Maria off, Alex sit on his bed and sigh

"Sigh... If what I predicted correct, then they are going to send me out of the castle soon"

Alex wanted to sleep, but a voice can be heard

[I'm not insulting you, Host. because of your experience and new determination my name is born, Host]

"Well system you just like a system that was given to me by someone"

[...]

"Hmm... judging with your reaction it seems I'm right but not qualified to get the answer just like some novel I read, well never mind then"

[Thank you for your consideration Host]

"So, what can you do system?"

[System is a gacha system Host. So I only have gacha in me]

"Oi... I read many systems in the novel were OP, but you... are pretty useless aren't you, system?"

[There are no useless system, only useless Host]

"Oi System you are insulting me aren't you, system"

[It's only system auto defense host. Protecting the system from your insult]

After calming down, Alex ask "system, I have beginner package right?" confirming once again

[Basic Cultivation Manual x1]

[Fencing Manual x1]

[Basic Trap Manual x1]

"why is the last 2 I only get water bottle? aahhh... never mind, let's check each item"

"I can use a sword later and spear with fencing is a good combination, a shovel... maybe I can use it to make trap? and for basic body tempering and basic cultivation... what is these two, system? I thought I can get stronger with killing monsters in this fantasy world?"

[Analyzing]

[Within explanation of the king yesterday, it seems in this world when a monster was killed, they release some kind energy, which the killer absorbed that energy thus resulting him leveling up. According to the legend, system speculated why he can't level up anymore, because the energy released from monsters wasn't pure enough. System can't speculate more than this without enough data]

"So this body tempering and cultivation manual is the solution?"

[Yes Host, the energy absorbed according to the manuals is heaven and earth energy thus containing a pure form of energy]

"I'm lucky to have them in my first gacha then. So how can I learn the manual?"

[Host just need to think what do you want to extract and say 'extract']

Thinking the name of the two manuals, he said "Extract". Two books appeared in front of him immediately.

"Hey system, you don't have instantaneous learning function? Like in the novels"

[No Host you need to learn it manually]

"... you are a useless system"

[Host cultivation is a studious process, not a shortcut like what you want]

"... fine fine I Just need to learn it right" He sigh, losing an argument with system.

He pickup the two manuals and start reading them. After reading the two manuals, it's already morning, and he didn' sleep last night.

"System, you have storage/inventory right?"

[As long as the items are from the system you can store them in me host. but if not you need to store them yourself]

"... You are really useless"

[...]

'Knock, Knock'

"Yes, who is it?"

"The king has requested your presence in the hall" Said the soldier

"Lead the way"

He followed the guard to the hall. In the hall, he saw the king, ministers, and the other four, he surprised with this line-up. Since no one said anything after a while in this heavy atmosphere, he asked

"What occasion take place today?"

"Impudent" said the ministers

"It's okay it's okay" King tried to calm down the crowd

"Mr. Alexander, after our discussion, we need o banish you from the castle." With a bit guilty feeling, he declared

Alex us silent, looking at John and Sandra who have a sinister smile on their faces, and Maria looking down. He shaking his head and sigh

The king surprised by his reaction and asked "You are not angry ?"

"Well... I already predicted this would happen soon, but I surprised for this coming too soon."

"I'm sorry Mr. Alexander, I need to banish you" with a bitter smile on his face

"You don't need to say sorry Your Majesty, it may be rude, but can I request you something?"

"Impudent" and again with the ministers

Ignoring the ministers, "What it is Mr. Alexander? As long as I can"

"Can you spare me with some money? So at the least, I can live off a few days?"

"Guards" Surprised with his request, He immediately ordered guards to prepare it

After that Alex going out of the palace, he strolls the capital a bit, buying equipment such as cloths and the others that needed for survival since he planning to go out of this kingdom, he searched for adventure guild.

"Hello, can I help you? Asked the receptionist.

"I'm new here, can I register ?"

"Yes, do you bring your status card?" Asked the receptionist politely

"Yes I have, here it is. What do you need it for?" Giving his card, he asked.

"We only need to update your job. If you already have a high-level job, adventure job will become a secondary ob" Looking at his status, she immediately frown "Sir, are you sure you want to become an adventurer with this status?

"Yes, I know I have a weak constitution from birth, but I'm planning to travel to many places, and I will search for plant or herbs on the way, my master taught me that. And so I thought I can search for a quest in adventurer guild and here I am."He bullshitting his way

"Alright, I will respect your will, but I will remind you once again, Please be careful out there" Advice the receptionist once again

Satisfied with the receptionist, he said "Thank you, oh I also need a map, do adventure guild

Report chapter

"Yes, we sell map in three categories, Standard, detailed, and special. The standard map contained basic information about towns in the kingdoms. A detailed map is a more detailed version from the standard while the special contained only one place each map. It gave you detailed information from each place."

"I want the basic one please" Since he doesn't have much money on him. He immediately chose the basic one

"It's 1 Silver"

In this world, there are copper, silver, gold, and royal coins. 100 copper=1 silver, 100=silver1 gold, and 100 gold=1 royal.

"Here" he handed one silver coin to the receptionist

"This is your map" the receptionist handing the map to him

"Alright thank you, and are there any caravan, going to Alisia forest?" Glancing at the map, he pointed out the most nearby forest in the map

"You can search many of them at the west gate, they often take off in the morning. Any other question?"

"No, thank you very much" Satisfied. He thanked the receptionist once again.

"Just doing my job" the receptionist said with a smile

After that, he went to an inn, "Can I book the room for tonight ?"

"Yes, there are many rooms vacant at the moment, it's 3 copper for a night ?"

"I will take for one night then. Here are 3 coppers. Can I have water to wash my body?"

"For cold water, you can get them in the well at the back of our inn, if you need hot water, you need an additional copper for that"

"I will take the cold water then" he didn't mind having cold water he thought. On earth, sometimes he needed to take a bath with cold water if the heater was broken. since his money was limited, he needed to fix it alone and that take too many days since he wasn't an expert on them.

"How about your meal?"

"I already ate on the way here"

"Your room was on the third floor, the furthest one your left, here is your key" she gave the room's key to Alex

"Thank you" since he didn't have any luggage, he went to the well first to wash his body. he drew the water in the well.

He washed his body and go to his room, the room was simple, only basic furniture in it. He sat on the bed "Hmm, I never have a chance to try this manual on the castle. According to the cultivation manual, there are three-stage. They are body tempering stage, Qi Gathering Stage, and Qi Manipulation Stage. Each consisted of 3 phases which are low, middle and peak phase. The body tempering stage was a preparation stage before cultivating any Qi. Then with body tempering techniques, I can get the optimal result for the body tempering stage. Thank you system, love you"

[It's because my name Host]

"Yes yes" He started training his body again for four hours, after that he was too tired and fell asleep.

In the morning, Alex woke up, he looked at the window. it seems the sun was about to rise. He never seen a sunrise, he wanted to see it but he remembered.

"Hmm, I forgot to check my status last night after training my body for 4 hours"

"Yes yes thank you system, love you" his is excited looking the effect for his training

[Your welcome Host, but I need to inform you Host, it's only the beginning you can have this effect, it will be much harder to up your status later on]

"..."

"*%$%*"

[Love you too Host]

Of course, he forgot to watch the sunrise, and he quarreled again with the system

After he eats breakfast, he immediately went to the west gate. He searching for a caravan, he looked at the caravan at the corner, there is 'Alisia Forest' written in it. When They transported to this world, they seem to get the basic literature in this world, they can speak and read in this world language so Alex didn't need to learn again.

"Excuse me, are you going to Alisia forest ?" Alex asked to a middle-aged guy that seems to be a leader.

"Hmm..." he is a bit daze when he looked at Alex. Alex reminded him about his deceased son.

"Hello ?" Confused with his expression, Alex asked again

"Ah... yes... you want to go to Alisia Forest right? We will go to White Town, if you really want to go to Alisia Forest you can come with us since that place was along the way." Fl.u.s.tered, the middle-aged guy hurriedly reply

"How much is it?"

"No no, you don't need to pay" he hurriedly explained to Alex

"Are you sure I don't need to pay ?"

"Yes, you remind me to my son" with a bitter smile he said

"Really? It's really a coincidence"

"He already passed away" with a bit tears in his eyes

"Ummmm... Sorry" Alex lowered his head

Noticing the awkward situation, he replied "It's alright, we will take off in 5 minutes, you can get in first."

"Then I will do just that" Alex really want to get away with that awkward situation

Report chapter

"We are at the entrance of Alisia Forest boy" Said the middle-aged leader

"Thank you very much" he got off from the cabin.

"It's alright, please be careful when you get to the woods. Though this forest danger level not that high, still be careful" He advice Alex.

"Yes" With that, Alex went inside the forest.

"So what's my plan now?" Thinking for a while "I will try to kill some monster first"

He walked for a few minutes until he saw 2 goblins by the river.

"I think I can kill one of the goblins out of guard with my spear since they didn't detect my presence and battle the second goblin with my sword" He immediately ready up his gears. He sneakily runs around the goblins.

He runs to the goblins and thrust his spear to one of the goblins head. Confirming its death, he swung his sword without hesitation to the other goblin, beheading its head.

"It's my first skill but I don't have any feeling right now" After he killed the two goblins, he searched his surroundings. Noticing it's save he sat down and open his system panel

[According to the norm, yes Host]

Contemplating a bit, he decided to go to the inner forest.

"I will need more level then. Let's go to the inner zone of the forest."

After an hour of walking, he reached the inner forest. When sound heard,

"AUUUUUU..."

He immediately raised his guard. Following the sound, while grinning happily "Another EXP"

He saw 8 wolves including 1 leader wolf. The wolf has an average level of 35 while the leader was level 45. He calculating the battle plan in his mind

"If the leader doesn't join the battle first then I can wipe them out easily. But if the leader join, I just hope there are no monsters nearby"

He Throws one a javelin to one of the wolves. The javelin hit its body. Looking at the wolf died, the king immediately ordered the others to kill Alex "Auuuu.."

Alex entered his battle stance immediately, noticing the leader doesn't join, he happy decided to end the battle fast

Two wolves trying jump forward to him, he sliced the two wolf. The remaining wolf started to get anxious looking at Alex's capability, they hesitated a bit. Alex didn't let go of this chance. He immediately killed another 2 wolfs. Looking at Alex kill another 2. The remaining three scared. He got his spear on his back and thrust his spear to one of them, and kill the remaining with his sword.

When the king Look at his subordinate dead. He angrily looking at Alex. His charged was much faster than his subordinate

"Fast" Alex surprised a bit but with enough time he ready his defense. Alex got knock back 2 meters away

The wolf king doesn't let go of this chance, he slammed down Alex to the ground. Alex trying to defense from the wolf fang. But he never knew Alex has a system with him

Alex thinking about another sword and said "Extract". Another sword appeared in his other hand, he stabbed the wolf head with it.

"Huft... It's a close fight"

After calming down, Alex continuing to kill in the inner forest for one and a half months. Reaching at rank 1

When he got to rank 1, he confused since the king said they will have another boost status but he got nothing. So he asked his system

[System speculate, when your rank upgraded, it purifies the impurities in your energy resulting in a boost of status in him/her. with host never taken any energy from monsters you got no impurities so there's no boost for your status]

"..." Alex speechless with the explanation

"System how about I take the energy, and after my rank upgraded you expel the remaining impurities"

[If Host take too much time having impure energy in your body, it will blend with your energy and it will be impossible to separate them anymore]

He sighed."I know you are a useless system"

Like system said Host, there's no useless system, only useless host]

"Okay-okay, Let's go out of the forest. I'm bored watching the trees here"

After walking for a few hours, just before he got out of the forest, he immediately raises his guard

"There's a fight there" he peeked at the situation in the main road. He sees knights facing many orcs. There are Orc Leader and Orc Shaman spotted too. He decided to help after looking at the knights protecting a luxurious caravan. He thought 'if I help them, maybe I can get a free ride to the next town'

He immediately closed their distance starting to slash the orc one by one until he gets in the middle of the knight formation. He said "I will help"

"Thanks, young man, I can't get my attention distracted because of the Orc leader and orc shaman. Though I can face the orc leader sine we have the same rank. The Shaman will start pummeling my subordinate if I fight their leader." The middle-aged captain is a rank 3 warrior. His face can't be seen since he using a helmet

"I am close to rank 2, I can distract the shaman while you fighting the orc." Alex reply

"Oh, that helps me so much, thank you. Let's go" before the two started to get to their target. The caravan door opened and a girl came to the outside. The girl looked around 15-16 years old, stunningly beautiful, with long purple hair. Her body curves make the other think perfect. She said "Let me help too"

"Please go back inside, princess" The Captain immediately response.

The girl's name is Alicia Van Rizertia. She is the current Acacia Kingdom king's niece and the current grand duke third daughter. The current grand duke didn't have any son resulting his brother get to the throne, but the duke was fine with it since he always thought managing kingdom was tiring.

"No. Please let me help. Even with this, I'm Still a rank 1 magician I can support us" she rebuked the captain

Looking there's no way to convince the princess. He sighed, "Okay princess, but you need to support us from here and don't go closer to the battlefield. Besides, I think you need to support this boy. Even he was almost rank 2 but he still not rank 2 while the shaman already past the rank 2"

"Okay" Smiling happily, Alicia Complied.

Alex just nodding his head and ready his battle stance.

Charging at the shaman, Alex threw his javelin.

The shaman noticed Alex and immediately dodge the javelin. The shaman can't cast his spell while dodging, resulting in Alex closing his distance.

"Amazing" the princess amazed at Alex performance

"He seems experienced with battles" The captain comment his performance too while battling the orc leader.

When the distance of him and orc shaman remain 2 meters. The orc shaman cast his spell. The fireball appeared in front of the shaman and charged to Alex. Noticing this Alex immediately dodge to the sideways and swinging his sword to the orc shaman. Orc shaman put his staff to block Alex's sword.

"Princess!" Alex shouted

"Yes, Ice Spear" Alicia cast her spell to the shaman. Looking at the spell, the shaman casting another spell to block magic. Alex took the chance while the shaman casting his spells. Alex got to the shaman back and slice his sword.

The shaman got sliced but still not dead. "Tch, too shallow" The shaman reaction was fast when Alex swing his sword, the shaman fast enough to move away a bit. Alex tried to swing his sword again, but he didn't notice the orc leader are at his side. The leader kicked him away resulting him to be blown away a few meters and coughing blood.

"Bastard" The captain angrily roar to orc leader swinging his broadsword and slicing the orc into two. He immediately throws another strike, killing the orc shaman. After the two leaders dead, the orcs turn to disarray and the soldier easily killed the remaining orc.

The knight captain immediately go to Alex checking his injury

"I'm alright" wiping his bloodied lips, he assured the captain. "I only need to rest a bit".

"Thank you, young man, I don't know how our casualties if there are no you":

"It's alright knight captain. What are you going to do now?"

"We are going to check our casualties first and rest a bit"

The princess got closer two them "Are you alright Mr...uhm.."

"Alexander... Alexander Sirius, I'm sorry with my manner Princess"

"No no no, It's alright I too don't really like too many formalities. What are you going to do now Mr. Alexander" She said

"Hmm... I'm planning to leave this kingdom and go to the Acacia Kingdom"

"That's great, how about you travel with us. We too want to go home to the Acacia Kingdom after visiting the Zircodina Kingdom."

"Princess" The captain worriedly rebuked the princess

"It's alright uncle, he doesn't seem a bad guy and he helps us too and got injured at the process" She explained. Even though he called the captain 'uncle' but they don't have any blood relationship. It's because the captain always near around the princess and more familiar with each other.

"But..."

"Say no more uncle, I already decided" The captain can only sigh.

Looking at their conversation, Alex said "Then I thank you, Princess"

"Don't call me princess. My name is Alicia Van Rizertia. Just call me Alicia" she smiled.

"Rizertia ?" He thought since she is a princess, then her name must have another kingdom name

"Ah..., the current king is my uncle and my father is a grand duke. So I follow my House"

"Oh I see, then please call me Alex too, since Alexander is a bit too long"

"Then, hopefully, a nice journey Mr. Al...ex.." with a bit red on her face

"Yes Princess"

She frowned "It's Alicia".

"but..." looking at the knight captain who only sighs, he surrendered

"Yes Ms. Alicia"

The return journey to the Acacia Kingdom was 4 months, at first, Alex and Alicia were unfamiliar with each other, the atmosphere always awkward in the caravan. After one month, they started calling each other with their first name, Alex started to not minding with her status. In the second month, they started quarreling with each other, starting from a small problem like favorite color, etc to a bigger problem, like how he viewed the kingdom. With Alex's past, he always saw from a negative point of view, while Alicia loves her kingdom very much, so they quarreled.

After the third month, Alicia started telling her past. Though her past just like another noble daughter who can't succeed in their household. When she asked about Alex's past, Alex's mood immediately plummeted. Looking at Alex's expression, she knows there's something bad about his past so she keeps silent and never asked again.

Near the Acacia Kingdom,

"Princess, we will see the Acacia Kingdom after climbing this hill." Asmus Inform them. Asmus is the knight captain.

"Uncle, what do you think about our agriculture ?" Asked Alicia

"I'm not familiar with the topic so I can't say so much. But I think our agriculture is the best of the three kingdoms" Asmus told her.

"So-so" Alex rebuked Asmus

"What do you mean so-so? Don't you hear what uncle said? We are the best! The best!" Alicia started quarreled again with Alex

"Looking at the present situation, The crops were a bit small and the land a bit exhausted." Alex calmly explain

"What do you mean by that? Uncle Asmus hurry told him again that we are the best" Looking at Asmus who can only shake his head. He thought 'Haiz, they started again'. After two weeks they started bickering at each other, him and the knights already used to it.

"Do you use four-field rotation?" Alex asked

"Huh? What is that? Don't you just plant wheat every time and watered it?" Confused with the new term, She asked.

"Let me explain, crop rotation is the practice of growing a series of dissimilar or different types of crops in the same area in sequenced seasons. It is done so that the soil of farms is not used for only one set of nutrients. It helps in reducing soil erosion and increases soil fertility and crop yield" Alex explained. Though Alex has poor performance in the school. Actually, he has many interests in Auxiliary thing such as agriculture, sea, etc, well everything that not connect directly with a school lesson

"This.. this.." Alicia shocked by what Alex shocked. Captain Asmus started listening to him too with great interest.

"Now for the four-field rotation. The sequence of four crops were wheat, turnips, barley, and clover. Apply the rotation to each field over a four-year cycle. In summer, pigs and sheep can eat the clover. Putting them to pasture here means fertilizer raises the soil quality and in winter, we feed the pigs turnips. This method keeps the fields in use without depleting them and it provides more meat, as well." He explained. Since this world was similar to Earth including the plant and animal, he explains this.

"This...this..." Alicia and Asmus were speechless with Alex's explanation. Even Asmus not familiar with agriculture, he knew if this plan used agriculture in the kingdom will get better.

"Alex...Alex...Let's go... with your plan. Can I Publicize this?" Still fl.u.s.tered, Alicia grabs Alex's shoulder keeping him for running away.

"Up to you" Alex just shrugged his shoulder.

"Up to you? What with you. What you just said just know is a brilliant idea, with it we can improve the qualities for our farmer and kingdom and you just casually saying 'up to you' ..." She started to quarrel angrily with Alex again

"Hahaha... keep it up young man" Satisfied Asmus just running away from the scene while laughing

Looking at Asmus, Alex thought 'you traitor', Alex sigh "Alicia just do what you want with it. Even I'm keeping it with me, I don't really have any use with it. It's better for the people to use it"

"Hehehehe..." Satisfied with Alex's response she let go of her hands.

After a while, Asmus come again

"Princess, Alex we can see the kingdom now. Since it's already dark we set up the camp and continue tomorrow"

"Alright" Shouted the two.

The next morning they continued and arrived at noon. They immediately go to home, which is Rizertia Mansion. Alicia just ordered some maid to take care of Alex

"Alex, I'm going to meet my father now. You can rest first." Alicia said

"Alright" Following the maid, he arrived at the guest room. Though the room not as big as the room he had at Zircondina Castle, he just got a feeling of home a bit, looking at the room. He doesn't know if it because he missed his home, or because of Alicia. Well, that's for the later story.

"Maybe I'm a bit tired, even on earth, I never travel for that long" He sat for a while and check his status.

He looked at his Status.

"I should start cultivating qi after this." His status already reaching a rank 3 warrior.

'Knock knock'

"Who is it?"

"The Grand Duke invite you to dinner. So we came to prepare you."

He opened the door and followed the maid to the bath. After half a year without satisfying his urge to a bath. He enjoys the bath for an hour.

"Here is the grand duke previous clothed" The maids started to dress him

"Wait-wait what are you doing.." Fl.u.s.tered with the maids he said. Since he never had anyone serve him. Even on Earth, he did everything by himself since his parents ignored him and his sister bullied him.

"We are just dressing you" The maid dress him skillfully

Since he can't be rude to the person of the house. He accepted and sigh.

"Is it done ?" Looking at the maid slowly walk away, he asked

"Yes, please follow us. The grand duke and the rest already waiting at the dining room" Said the maid

"Yes please lead the way" he followed the maid to the dining room

In the dining room, there are one middle-aged man and four women. The middle-aged man looking like a carefree person and each woman was stunningly beautiful. He recognized one of them. Yes, she is Alicia. The oldest one was her mother, while the rest was her sister.

Looking at Alex's fl.u.s.tered expression. The grand duke offered him a seat next to Alicia.

"Please sit... Alexander. I can call you that right?"

"Yes...yes.." Alex stiffly go to his sit

Looking at Alex's stiff action, Alicia giggled, she thought 'serve him right'.

Alex looking at Alicia who still giggled and planning to get his revenge.

"Alexander, I thank you for helping my daughter in her travel." After Alex sat down, The grand duke starts talking.

"Yes...No problem, I just passing by at that time, Grand duke" He immediately responded

"Oh, I forget I still not introduce myself. I'm Raymond Van Rizertia, the current king brother, she is my wife Vera Kertia, and my daughters Lea and Mia. Since you are like Alicia calling Asmus with uncle. You can call me uncle too." Grand duke introduced his family to Alex

"Aren't that inappropriate?"

"It's okay, though I'm a grand duke, I don't really like formalities too much. It's tiring." Raymond laughed

"Is that so..."

"I Already hear about your idea from Alicia's mouth about our agriculture. If I say it's a breathtaking idea. I will inform our agriculture minister about your idea. Is there any problem with that?"

"No... Please just do by that"

The door opened and the maid serve the foods to them

"Since the foods already served, let's eat first" Raymond said

When Alex eats the food he thought the food in this world was a bit not satisfactory. The first time he eats was from a food stall in the Zircodina capital after his banishment. He thought since it's from a food stall then it's normal. Even in a few cities, they passed along on the travel still not satisfactory. He thought since this is a grand duke house. The chef must be good. But he a little bit disappointed with the food. Well, his tongue already used to it.

After they eat, Raymond curious about the result of her daughter travel.

"Alicia, how is your travel? And how is the hero?" Asked him

"The travel was fun, I'm just surprised you send me a message to visit Zircodina kingdom while I'm at Kachang Town. And for the hero..., he l.u.s.tful as I see it" she glanced at Alex. When she told about her meeting with the hero, Alex's mood plummeted, though he didn't show it in his face. His action was noted by Alicia. She knows there must be a connection between him and the hero.

Alex just silent and looking down, not noticing Alicia gaze at him.

"Hmm.., do you think he wanted you as his wife and we can make a connection with the hero?" Raymond asked again, forgetting Alex.

"I don't like him, I think he is arrogant because of his status as a hero, so I think he will bound to make a rash action. If I marry him, I will be doomed. I think" Alicia explained with a wry smile.

"Hmm.., It's alright if you don't want. Though many nobles families always treat their daughter as a tool for a political marriage, at least I'm not. I'm rather become a commoner with a happy life, than looking at my daughter's sadness in all her life" after he said that, he laughed.

Every people in the room surprised with Raymond's statement. Even Alex admired him a bit.

"Well let's end it with that. I'm noticed you are already a rank 3 warrior young man." He looked at Alex.

"Ye..ss" Alex surprised his current strength was seen.

"Haha..., even though I'm looking like this, I, myself was a rank 7 magic warrior" Looking Alex's expression, he laughed

"Magic warrior?"

"Oh, you don't know about magic warrior?" the grand duke surprised. Though many don't know his current rank, everyone knows about him as a magic warrior.

"I'm just a commoner from Zircodina kingdom, I don't know" shaking his head.

"Oh.. I see. Then what do you know about rank and its classification?"

"I only know 9 rank and warrior and mage"

The grand duke only nodded "Then let me explain, a magic warrior was a combination of warrior and mage. I am a warrior who has wind affinity thus called wind magic warrior. Each person who can become a warrior and a mage will become a magic warrior. But there's an exception, in church, a warrior who has a light affinity called paladin and they usually become knights leader or commander in the Holy kingdom.

"How about Element affinity?"

"Each person has an element affinity from birth. But not everyone can awaken it. Even I only managed to awaken my element when I was 12 years old. If not maybe I'm already a rank 2 mage" explain Alicia.

"As what Alicia said, each person has an element affinity, but not everyone can become a magic knight even they can awaken their element. Even when they awaken their element, they need to keep manipulate their element while fighting as a warrior, so many keep fighting only as a warrior or a mage" Raymond said with a smug face while his eyes saying 'praise me'. Everyone knows he is only boasting.

Everyone giggled, even Alex stiff expression softened.

"Then how about Rank itself?" Alex asked

"You already know about 9 ranks right? But there's a special after you upgraded to rank 4 and rank 7. There will be a qualitative leap with your abilities. For example, if you reach rank 4, then you can start manipulating your element. Not like a magic thrower, you can move your magic manually. And for rank 7, your abilities to manipulate elements go further. You can manipulate the elements around you, that's why many rank 7 can fly." Raymond Explained

"Have you awakened your element?" He then asked Alex

"I don't know how to check it" Alex look down.

"Actually it's easy to check it, usually you can test in adventurer guild. They have mana crystal to check it. If the mana crystal shine, then you already awaken your element. If you don't then the crystal won't shine." He calmly explained to Alex

"I... will try to check in the adventurer guild soon"

"How about you check now? We have mana crystal in the house" Raymond suggested

"Is that okay?"

"It's fine, usually nobles family have one standby in their house"

"Me me, I want to see it too" Alicia hopes Alex has an ice affinity, the same as her. She can teach Alex about magic and Alex can't disobey her in that period she thought.

"Then we will excuse ourselves" The mother brought her daughters to leave the room. But,

"I will stay" the second daughter Mia said. She is curious about the man invited by her younger sister. Even though he is a year younger than her, he is currently stronger than her, even they are in the same rank, she feels she will lose if she fights Alex.

Everyone surprised, especially Raymond and Vera. This daughter of them never has any interest in men from small.

"Then.. you can watch it too" Still fl.u.s.tered about their daughter, Raymond said while Vera asked the stunned eldest daughter away from the room.

The four of them go to Raymond's study room.

In the study room, Raymond brought a pure round crystal to Alex.

"This is a mana crystal. Place your hand on the crystal" Raymond said

Alex wondering what is his element already awaken or not. Alicia hoping Alexander has the same element as her. While Mia only silent, gazing at Alex

Alex places his hand on the mana crystal. The mana crystal started dyed with red color.

"This is fire elem... Wait" before Raymond finish his speech the crystal glowing with bright red color

"Pu...re... Pure Fire Element..." Raymond Fl.u.s.tered with the color shown on the crystal. A normal element will have dyed the crystal with dull colors not glowing. Only a pure element will have a glowing color.

Looking at her father, Alicia puzzled. She thought 'it's only a fire element why you exaggerated so much'. She didn't hear her father said pure fire element because her mood already plummeted when she sees Alex's element wasn't the same with her.

Different from Alicia, Mia's eyes open wide and her jaw dropped. Pure element, even in their world history, there are only 2 people with pure elements. One already ascended and one become the founder of their kingdom, Acacia. And now the third appeared in front of her.

"I witness the birth of pure element." Still fl.u.s.tered with the result. He glanced at Alex

"It's lucky you test it in this mansion, if you test in the adventurer guild, we don't know what kind big scenes appeared."

"Are there any problems with my element ?" He confused, why they get so fl.u.s.tered. He thought 'it's only a fire element'

"Problems? What do you mean by problems? your element is the purest form of the element, A Pure Fire Element, in the legend A pure element has another name, it's absolute! You have an absolute fire, do you know what it's mean absolute? Normal can't win against Absolute! So do you know what kind of big problem you caused?" Raymond hurriedly explained to Alex

"Ummm... I'm sorry" Alex looking down

"Hey Alex, how about my daughter? Aren't they pretty? Aren't you traveling so long with Alicia? How do you feel about her? Do you like her?" Raymond suddenly forgets about his policy about his daughter starting to become a matchmaker for his daughter.

"Umm... what do you mean? I and Alicia were just a travel companion." He is still ignorant. On earth, he never has a nice relationship. Even when he started to love Sandra, Sandra broke him. So unconsciously he viewed other women only as a friend and doesn't want to step any further as he was afraid they will break him again.

"Fa..ther... What are you talking about? I Don't love Alex. He is only my travel companion" blushed covered her face

"Yes..yes.." He casually answered Alicia with 'I understand' look. He also noticed what Alicia just said, she said 'doesn't love him' then she must have a certain degree of like.

"I will inform brother about this. Alex try don't show your fire in front of a fire mage. Even though, the other element won't show much difference in front of you Absolute fire. It's different if normal fire element in front of your fire, well whatever just don't show your element in front of a fire." He continued

"Since Mia have a fire element, how about you train about the basic of fire element from her tomorrow" Raymond then glanced at Mia

Mia nodded her head repeatedly with a little blush on her face.

Looking at her sister and father. Alicia suddenly got an uneasy feeling at her heart.

"I'm going to rest" She then immediately leave the room. Raymond looking at his daughter's action, he smirked. Though the others didn't noticed his smirk.

"I will inform my brother now, Alex and Mia can rest. Mia since Alexander not familiar with the house, you guide him to his previous room"

Mia only nodded

After Raymond sees the two off, he immediately went to the castle.

In the king chamber,

"Brother... brother, I have very good news for you" Excited, he informs the king. Carollus Van Zelle Acacia is the king's name. He was a good-looking middle-aged man with long red hair on his back.

"What is this news about for you become this excited" Intrigued by his brother, he asked.

"Hehe... If you know what I want to say, you will become like me too brother." Teased Raymond. Even one becomes a king and one becomes a grand duke. Their bond still as good as ever.

"Alright alright, don't tease me"

"Haha... alright, You know my youngest daughter just come back today right?"

"umu.." He nodded

"My daughter brought a man home. She said he become her travel companion because he saved her when her group got ambushed by orcs"

"Alright alright don't beat around the bush" It's already night, so the king wanted to rest.

"Fine. I used a mana crystal to test his element. And the crystal glowing with a bright red color" Raymond Explain

"Glo...wing...?" fl.u.s.tered with his brother news, he asked him and get a nod

"Pure... element... haha... our kingdom have the second pure element... haha" Joys filled the king immediately

"After our founder, we have another pure element haha... another potential to become god, brother we have a pure element" he grabbed Raymond's shoulder and shaking him

"Brother, please calm down" Looking at the excited king, he shook his head

After a few minutes, the king started to calm down

"Haha... Raymond... Where the lad? I will visit him now"

"Now? How about tomorrow brother, he already rested now. Since he traveled a few months with my daughter" He advice the king

"Ah.. yes yes, I was too excited just then. I will visit him tomorrow. Ah... Heaven blesses my Acacia, heaven blesses me, to think we now have another pure element. Zircodina have hero, Holy Kingdom have priestess, and now my Acacia have pure element" The king said gratified

"You said your daughter right? How about marrying your daughter to him? I know about your principle, but there will be always an exception right?" The king then glanced at Raymond

"Haha... There are seems a connection with my daughter since they traveled for long. I thought since Zircodina has a hero. My daughter would be interested, never I thought she disgust him. Well whatever since now my daughter took a liking at Alex. And also Alex doesn't seem like nobles too much, so I think it's better for you not to visit him." then he laughed.

"Alex?"

"Ah.. the boy's name is Alex. Alexander Sirius"

"Haiz, I envy you, brother, you have three daughters while I only have a son. If I have a daughter I will engage her to him right now"

"Haha... I too envy you, brother, If I have a son, then he can inherit the house, and now my eldest daughter will be the one to inherit my position"

"Oh.. not the boy?"

"He... likely not. Even though he is a worthy successor when I looked at him. He looked like someone who loved freedom. He won't be caught up with the nobles system." Raymond's observation was close enough. Alex just got new freedom and a new determination so he doesn't really like to be bounded for now

"It's fine, just make sure your daughter grips him close enough. If others hear about this, they will start to approach him

Raymond nod with a solemn face. "Then what should we do now with him, brother ?"

"How about we place him at our Royal Academy and make the Dean take him as his student since the dean himself was a rank 8 fire mage." The king suggested.

"I don't know if he wanted to enter our academy. I will try to persuade him. If he doesn't want, we need a different plan"

The king then nodded his head.

"I will go back home then brother" Raymond said

"Haiz... you Raymond, do you know the news you bring, will make me can't sleep tonight"

"I can't sleep too, brother. So, I don't want to be alone who suffered, so I shared this with you"

"You..."

The two laughed happily.

Tomorrow.

'knock knock'

"Who is it?" Alex reaching his room's door. He saw two maids in front of him.

"Grand duke call you Mr. Alexander. We came to guide you" Said one of the maids

"Alright, I'm going to prepare myself a bit" Alex trying to fix his appearance

"Let us help you, Mr Alexander"

"no need" Said Alex, he still not used to have a maid to do it like yesterday so he refused. The maids start to begged him especially because grand duke himself ordered them to make sure to satisfy all his demands. And again Alex surrendered after countless times the maid begged him.

After they got out of the room, the maids guide him to the previous study room. In there, he saw grand duke, Mia, and Alicia.

"Please sit Alex" He pointed at the spot beside Alicia. After Alex sat down, the grand duke starts talking.

"How do you see the Royal Academy ?" He asked in a roundabout way

"Royal academy? I'm sorry I don't know much, as you can see I'm just a commoner from Zircodina kingdom" a bit ashamed, Alex answered

"Then, do you want to enter the academy? there's going to be an enrollment a month later"

Alex thinking a bit, he answered

"I'd love to, thank you, sir". Alex thanked him

"Then it's decided since you don't have any previous grade, you will enroll as a first-year. The same as Alicia. And call me uncle" Hearing that, Alicia smiled.

"Yes..."

"Then as yesterday planned, Let's Mia teaching you basic fire magic" Grand duke look at Mia, who nodded

"Then Please take care of me" Alex said

Report chapter

After his meeting with the grand duke. He followed Mia to the back garden. Alicia following him too.

At the garden, Mia started to explain about fire magic. But her explanation...

"If you want to use fire magic, you just need to chant the spell, and done" Mia explained

"Eh..." Alex speechless with Mia's explanation.

"I know, this will become like this. Sister was always like this when teaching someone. I will teach Alex the basic first, sister" Alicia who follow them along started speaking and then she glanced at Alex

"Let me explain how to manipulate the mana inside your body first. Try feeling the mana in your body, they are like a warm gas flowing inside your body. Try to move them to your right hand first" She explained

Following her words, Alex started feeling a warm gas flowing in his body. He started moving them his right hand like water flowing at the river.

Alicia shocked seeing Alex's success at his first try.

"Th...en... Try to move them again to your left hand, right foot, then left foot, and your heart. After that tried to disperse them to all your body." She immediately calms down and explained again.

Alex followed her words. After he distributed his mana to all his body, he feels refreshed

Alicia scared, she used 3 days to make her mana flow like Alex. Even her sister Mia used an entire day. But Alex did it in his first try.

"Is this the pure element in the legend?" She muttered slowly.

"Now, if you want to use magic. When saying fire magic spell, try to channel your mana into your chant." After looking at Alex's focused face, she didn't want to disturb him. So she continued her explanation.

"Now, sister. Please tell him about fire magic spell" Alicia glanced at Mia

"Alright then, Please follow what I say. The fire in my body, hear my command. Manifest your self as a ball to burn my enemy" after Mia finished her chant. A fireball appeared in front of them.

"..." Alex still silent, he just opened his eyes and looked at them

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Alicia confused

"Isn't it embarrassing, saying that aloud ?" Alex said with a wry smile.

"Why are you thinking about embarrassing? It's a pride of a mage if you success chanting your spell. Now hurry up and chant" Alicia angrily reprimand Alex, while Mia nod repeatedly.

"Fi...ne.. the fire in my body, hear my command. Manifest your self as a ball to burn my enemy" He chanted embarrassedly. But nothing happened.

"Hmm... Nothing happened. It's fine, it's normal to fail at the first time" Alicia said. She relieved Alex can fail too.

"I forgot to imbued my mana in my chant. Because it's embarrassing" Alex looking down with a tinge red in his face.

"..." Alicia and Mia reprimand Alex again, about the pride of a mage.

After full thirty minutes, Alex surrendered

"It's fine right as long as I success..." Alex started focused his attention on his mana. He chanted again,

"The fire in my body, hear my command. Manifest yourself as a ball to burn my enemy"

This time a fireball appeared in front of them. Looking at his success, Alicia and Mia smiled.

"How is it? How do you feel now?" Alicia asked with a smug smile

"It's really embarrassing," He said. Well, of course, another thirty minutes course about mage's pride from Alicia and Mia.

After Alicia and Mia exhausted for talking too long, he asked.

"Is there any special meaning about the chant we use?"

"Of course there are. The chant we used now was formed by experiment after experiment. The chant used in the past wasn't like this. And their output wasn't bigger than right now" Alicia said

"Hmm..." Alex pondered, 'Can science combined with chant?'. Let's try it.

"What are you thinking Alex?" Alicia looking at his confused face. Ignoring Alicia, Alex started chanting again

"Take in Oxygen and burn" A big fire appeared in front of him. Alex thought 'it's a success' while the other two shocked, their jaw almost dropped to the ground.

They looked at Alex as looking at Monster.

"Wh...at... was that? What... chant is that?" They shake Alex up and down.

"Ca..lm...do...wn...lad..ies..." He tried to calm down the two sisters. The two sisters still shaking him a few more minutes before calming down

"Then... what with that chant Alex..?" even Mia who doesn't talk too much, asking him. To suddenly saying a new chant, well don't know how big the reaction if this accident was known.

"It's science" Alex said

"Science ?" Alicia and Mia confused

"Well, If I'm going to explain science, it will be too long. And even I don't know much about it. So let's focus on the fire just now. Do you know how fire formed? You take in the oxygen and combust it" Alex explained

"Oxygen?" The sisters don't know about these new terms.

"Well, how do I put it... Anyway, there's a substance you can't see in the air called oxygen." Alex also puzzled how to explain oxygen to them. He thought this world science, was too way behind.

"Then how do you know about this knowledge?" Alicia asked.

"This..." Alex only looks down.

"You are related with hero summoning right?" Alicia continued. While Alex only looking down with a bitter face.

Looking at Alex's bitter face, she sighed.

"It's fine if you don't want to say it, I will wait until you want to tell your story. But promise to tell me in the future ok?" She touched his face and said with a smile.

"Umm...ok" touched with her action Alex then said "I was summoned with the hero. But I'm just a person got dragged to this world, that's all I can say now. Sorry"

Hearing Alex's story a bit, it's mean Alex trust her a bit. Alicia grinning happily. While Mia feels forgotten by them.

"Actually you can use magic without chanting" Since she is happy, Alicia inform him

"Really?" Alex asked

"You can chant in your mind, and imagined forming your magic at the same time. Actually, my sister can do it too" Alicia said and pointing at Mia

"Only the basic spells" Mia nodded

"Just that?" Alex asked again. He never thought it was that simple to hide away his embarrassment.

"It's hard you know. Since you need dual tasking, a normal mage can not do it, even they managed to do it, it's taking a toll to your mind" Alicia explained more

Report chapter

"I want to try" Alex determined to try it in order to destroy this embarrassment

"Fine" she pouted. She thought 'I already explained to you how hard it is. Don't come back to me crying if you failed'

Alex started to focus once again. He started chanting in his mind while imagining the previous scene where magic formed with his new chant.

A bit of fire formed in front of him but soon dispersed.

"It's really hard and tiring" He sighed. But he determined to master these techniques.

'Monster' Alicia and Mia shocked again. In his first try, he almost succeeds.

Alex looking at the sisters, confused.

"Hello guys, why are you looking at me like that ?"

"You... do you know what are you doing?" Alicia got in front of him looking very angry

"I failed" He sigh

"You... Ah... this guy. I want to punch him" Mia suddenly shout. Her pride as a genius just got crushed by him, and this is his first training with her. She thought 'I don't want to teach him anymore if not...sigh'. She knew her being a genius, but if she compared herself with him. She at best was mediocre.

"Alicia, you do the rest" after she said that, she pouted and go inside.

"..."

"What happened to her?" Alex confused with Mia reaction

"My sister was a renown genius in the kingdom. Now you crushed her pride" Alicia glanced angrily at Alex

"This... I will back to training"

Alex continued his training for one hour before grand duke summoned him.

Alex and Alicia walk side by side to the meeting room.

'knock knock'

"Come in" Grand duke said

After they got in, Alex realized, the grand duke wasn't alone. There's a middle-aged man with a similar face with the grand duke. While Alicia tackled the middle-aged guy,

"Uncle" Yes, the middle-aged man was the king. Alicia was very pampered with this uncle.

"Hoho, my dear Alicia. How are you?" The middle-aged man smiled.

"Hehe, I'm fine uncle,... only a bit disheartened" Alicia a bit looking down.

"What? Who makes you disheartened? I will flatten him" The middle-aged man mad.

Alicia pointed her finger at Alex. After the king saw Alex, he glanced at the grand duke, who nodded.

"So, you are Alexander. Let me introduce myself I'm Carollus Zelle Van Acacia. The current king of Acacia Kingdom. Nice to meet you" The king introduced himself

'The king!' Alex froze. When he is about to kneel. The king held him

"You don't need to kneel. This is just a private meeting. Since you call Raymond with uncle. Then you must call me uncle too"

"This..." Alex glanced at Grand duke Raymond who nodded his head.

"Un...cle..."

"Good good good" The king laughed.

While the king laughed happily. Alicia tell what just happened in the garden to Grand duke

"Father, do you know sister Mia who known as a genius, just got her pride crushed by him at the garden" Alicia whispered to Grand duke

"What happened?" Grand duke curious about what happened

"How do I say this... Alex can control mana flow in his body the first time he tried. Then he succeeds in his first spell also in his first tried. Then he chants with a new chant he created himself, not only the chant was shorter but also the power output was greater than fireball spell". Alicia explained

"This... are you lying to me ?" The grand duke shocked after hearing Alicia's story.

"Father, I'm not lying to you. Not even a bit. If you don't believe me, you can ask sister then. Though she will hate you if you asked her now." Alicia giggled.

"..." If what Alicia told was true then... he glanced at Alex like he was a national treasure

He then got in front of Alex, grabbing his shoulder and scanning him up and down.

Even the king who laughed happily, puzzled with his action.

"Raymond, what are you doing" King asked

"I'm checking him brother." Raymond said

"Check..ing ?" The king becomes more puzzled

"Yes.. whether this boy a monster in human clothing" Raymond continued.

"Monster? What are you saying, Raymond?"

"Don't you know brother. He can control mana flow in his body the first time he tried. Then he succeeds in his first spell also in his first tried. Then he chants with a new chant he created himself, not only the chant was shorter but also the power output was greater than fireball spell" Raymond repeated the story told by Alicia.

"This... You serious?" The king didn't believe what just he heard.

The grand duke only nodded.

"This..." The king shocked. And started doing what grand duke did just now. He grabbed Alex and scanning him up and down.

"..." Alex froze.

After scanning Alex, The king and grand duke suddenly make a conversation with only themselves in the corner

"Raymond... this Alex... His potential is limitless. I think he has more potential than our founder." The king said

"You mean... He might become a god? even our founder can't become a god. Don't you exaggerated a bit much brother?" Raymond said

"No.. I'm not exaggerating a bit. In truth, I think we still underestimated his potential" King confirmed what he said.

"If this was true then... our kingdom will have a god in a few decades. After the first ascended who ascend 5000 years ago, there's no one who has the potential to become a god anymore except our founder. But even he failed to become a god"

"Umu.. so what should we do now? First, we need to bind him to our kingdom"

"Yes... what should we do..." Grand duke recalled a bit "Brother, didn't Alicia said Alex make her disheartened"

"Ah... Nice one brother" And the two suddenly laughed. Alicia confused with his father and uncle, while Alex got a chill.

Report chapter

After Grand duke and King got a plan, the king arrived in front of Alicia and Alex.

"Alicia, didn't you said. You got a bit disheartened?" Asked the king

"Ah... no..." And that earns her a glared from her uncle. "Hii... Yes" Alicia immediately correct herself

"So, who is it? I will flatten him now" King continued with a nasty smile

Alicia can only looking down and pointed at Alex. Alex froze.

"So... you are the one who makes my niece sad..." King throw an angry looked at Alex

"Let me... explain..." Alex fl.u.s.tered.

"What explain.. since you make my niece sad, I don't care about your explanation." King continued

"This... this..." He glanced at Alicia still looking down and he glanced at Grand duke.

"Brother, please calm down a bit" Grand duke broke his silence.

The king looked like he calms down a bit.

"Fine, but since he made my niece sad, he must take responsibility" the king put out a condition.

"Responsibility?" Alicia shocked.

"What responsibility" Alex scared.

"You must marry Alicia!" The king said his condition

"Marry?" Alicia and Alex shocked with the condition

"Uncle, what are you saying!" Alicia's face immediately becomes red.

"Yes, you marry him. What? You don't want to marry him?" The king said with a little scary face.

"I...I..." She can only look at her father for help. But even her father betrayed her.

"You don't need to marry him now. How about becoming engaged first." Her father said

"Engaged?" True, She interested in Alex and liking him a bit. This feeling was forged from 4 months traveling with Alex. But her feeling still not at the point of love and marriage.

"Engaged? Fine.. you two can be engaged first. What you don't want to engage with him, Alicia? If you don't really like him a bit and don't want to engage with him, it's fine. I will ask your sister after this" King said

"Uncle... you... You two bullied me. Hwaa!" She immediately runs away from the room.

After Alicia left. The king glanced at Alex

"What? You don't want to marry her?" King throw a scary glare at him

"This...this... we still small and can't talk about marriage, besides I'm just a commoner" Alex explained his reasoning.

"So.. You just want to play my niece? You courting death boy"

"This... no" He shook his head and thought 'Played your niece? Played your ass! When I played her...' he can only scream about this in his mind, but can't say them aloud.

"Then you engaged with her. Alright, that's it, I don't want to have any complaint later. You are dismissed" King said

"This..." He can only look down and got out of the room

Just after he left, he hears the grand duke and the king laughed happily. And he knew he was played by them.

If there's an Oscar, then the king would win.

If he knew the plan was from Grand duke. He will be speechless, since their first conversation with grand duke at the dining room, he thought the grand duke was someone who not sacrificed his daughter just to make her married.

At night,

'knock knock'

"Who is it?" Alex said

"It's me" Alicia's voice heard.

Alex slowly got up from his bed and opened the door. He saw Alicia with a super red face wearing a nightgown.

"Alicia... What are you doing here?" Alex startled

"Can.. we talk?" Said Alicia with a low voice

"Plea..se.. com in" Alicia got in and sit on the sofa.

"What do you want to talk about?" Alex asked

"What.. do you think about our engagement?" Alicia carefully asked Alex

"This..." Alex doesn't know how to explain.

"I will be honest here. I think I'd like you a bit... but it's not to the point of love." A bit embarrassed with her statement, she looked down.

"I...I.."

"I know uncle and father want to marry me to you, especially because of you as a pure element master" She explained

"This..." Alex sigh.

"Let me tell you a story. There's a boy. The boy was your average child, his parents love him. Many may think they are a joyous family. But it stops after his younger sister shows her talents, at twelve her sister already enroll at high school, many said she a genius that comes every 100 years. Not long after that. In his home, his parents started looking at him like looking at trash, and his previous loving sister only coldly glared at him. But even with that, he still thinking 'if my sister was a genius in academics, then I will learn otherwise.' The boy started learning about agriculture, husbandry, business, etc. But, what he got was the scorn of everyone around him. Even his parents said 'why are you such useless trash. We are regret to give birth to you'. Then the boy started to regret being born himself." Alex told his story while looking at the window

Before continuing his story. He sighed and glanced at Alicia. He saw Alicia crying so hard

"Al..icia.." He startled

"Hiks..hiks... then? What... hiks... happened to the boy?" She asked while crying

"Why are you crying... I can't be bothered with the story anymore. If the king knows about this, he will butcher me on the spot. So please stop crying" Alex sit beside her, wiping her tears

Hearing him, she giggled a bit while her tears still streaming down

"Alex... we can be engaged first. If after we graduated from the academy, and don't want to be married. We will call our marriage. If we agreed to marry, then after we graduated we will hold our marriage. It's mean three years agreement for us. How do you say?" Wiping her tears, she leans her head to his shoulder

"This... Ok, let's do as you say" he agreed. But he realized Alicia was sleeping on his shoulder. He froze.

He started to recall his childhood. He has a happy family. Caring parents and lovely younger sister. He doesn't know why everything changed. His parents started looking at him like trash. His lovely sister started giving him a cold shoulder.

Without him knowing, his own tears started to fall down on his face. After crying a bit, he too started to become sleepy and eventually fall asleep.

But what he never expected what he saw. On the sofa, there's one man and woman sitting side-by-side, Leaning to each other, because of the curtain that was not closed yesterday, the sunlight illuminated them, and of course still sleeping. Looking at the scene, you can see a harmonized couple sleeping so lovingly.

'Perfect' grand duke was mesmerized by the scene

"Nooo..." Alicia shout. Alex started to wake up.

"mmm..." Alex opened his eyes and froze.

"Grand duke, madam." He greeted them as nothing happen. But after he realized that Alicia was beside him. He immediately recalled what happened last night "Let me... expl..."

Before Alex completed his sentence. Grand duke places his hand to Alex's shoulder with 'I understand' face "You don't need to explain. You can start calling me father"

"My husband is right, you can call me with 'mother' too"

"This... this..." Alex speechless

"Father... Mother...!" Alicia shout and run away with a red face

"I...I..." Alex wanted to explain but no words come out from his mouth

"As I said, you need to start calling me father"

"Yes. Call me mother too" They grabbed Alex like a ferocious wolf, not letting Alex off before they completed their objective.

Looking at them, Alex doesn't know what to do. He surrendered

"Fat..her... Mo...ther..." Alex called them with an awkward voice. He forgot when the last time he said this word.

"Good..good son" satisfied with Alex, they got out of the room. Alex can only sigh.

Not long after, the situation around the mansion calms down. Alex and Alicia got called by the grand duke

After the incident in the morning, the grand duke explained to his wife what happened yesterday. After knowing the reasons, she satisfied with her husband's choice and considered Alex as her son-in-law.

"Alex, Alicia. Since you two don't have any problem with your marriage then it's decided." Grand duke said happily.

"Father... We.. we...Alex Explain!" Alicia wants to explain but no words come to her mind so she ordered Alex to explain

"This..." Alex calming himself down he started explaining "Alicia and Alex decided to keep the engagement for now. We decided to test the relationship. After graduation from the academy, we will decide if we want to marry each other or not. If not we want to annul the engagement"

"Annulled ?" Grand duke catch this word from Alex explanation, he looked at Alex and started releasing his aura

"Father! We already decided this" Noticing his aura Alex scared, Alicia immediately explained firmly.

Looking at his daughter's reaction, he calms down a bit.

"We decided to wait and see first until graduation. It means three years. You and uncle want us to engage. But respect us too" Alicia shout to the grand duke

Grand duke surprised with his daughter.

"But.. daughter you know you will become 19 years old by then.. if you two not..." before grand duke complete his sentences,

"Father!" Alicia shout, releasing an imposing manner.

Looking at her, he can only sigh and compromised.

"Grand duke, we need to keep secret about this agreement" Alex looked at Alicia, then the grand duke.

"Fine, I agreed to it. But I need to add a condition"

"What is it?" Alex and Alicia asked at the same time.

"You need to call me father" he looked at Alex.

"I..I.. agree... Fat.her.." Satisfied with Alex's response, he smiled while Alicia blushed.

After reaching the compromised. They have lunch together and grand duke decided to announce their engagement.

"Haha... I'm announcing a piece of good news for you all. Alex and Alicia now engaged."

"..." Everybody shocked by the news. While Alex and Alicia's face darkened, 'aren't we agreed to keep this secret' they thought.

"Ufufu... now I have a son. Now call me mother Alex" The lady urged Alex.

"..." Alex speechless. While the sisters congratulate Alicia.

"Alicia congratulation, now I have brother-in-law" the first daughter, Lea said.

"Alicia congratulation" Mia said, 'with this, I can get closer to him to get stronger'. Well, you can see this girl was what you called a muscle-brain.

"Sisters!" Alicia flushed.

After lunch, the grand duke went to the castle to inform the king about the agreement.

"This agreement.." King said while thinking something.

"We need to plan something else. We need to make sure they are together". Grand duke nodded his head

"How about we let them got to the same room in the academy dormitory? There are many nobles who have their maid accompany them in the room aren't they." The king explained his plan.

"We can do that. Same room, same class, sit next to each other, any school activities they need to do must be together." Grand duke added.

The king agreed with the plan. He wrote two letters, one to Alex as a recommendation, and the other to the school about Alex's arrangement.

Tomorrow

"Alex, this is your recommendation letter for the academy, since normally the academy needs to test your ability. With your ability, you will needlessly pass. But, we need to keep your power secret." Grand duke give the letter to Alex

"Thank you Gran.." Before Alex completed, grand duke, releasing his aura

"Thank you, Father!" Noticing this, Alex immediately corrected himself. Satisfied with Alex response, he continued

"The enrollment will start next week. So you can familiarize yourself with this royal capital. Asked Alicia to take you to stroll around the city"

"Yes..father" after that he got out of the room.

For the next week, Alex asked Alicia to bring him around. Of course Alicia happy to do that. They strolled around the city and of course shopping.

On the last day, she brought Alex to the academy.

"This is Acacia Royal Academy, the best academy in this world" Alicia proudly introduced the academy to Alex.

"..." Used to exaggerated pride for her kingdom, Alex only ignored her and looked at the entrance.

She started bombarded him with how great this academy is. After an hour, she started to pant

"Tired? Let's lunch first" looking at the time, it's perfect to have lunch, so he suggested.

"Yes, let's go to Phoenix Restaurant. Sisters said their food was great and cheap, so many students eat there" She pointed at the restaurant in front of the academy.

"Alright, let's go" He agreed and walked to the restaurant

They searched for an empty table at the corner and sit there.

"What's your order, sir and miss?" Asked the waiter

"Let's go with today special for both of us." Alicia ordered their food

"Tomorrow is the enrollment day right?" Alex asked Alicia.

"Yes.. we will set off in the morning"

"This is your orders" The waiter plated the table with the foods.

Alex and Alicia started eating.

Report chapter

After the waiter put their food on the table. They start eating. The food was good and with the current prices, he knows why many students eat in this restaurant.

"How is it?" Alicia asked about Alex's opinion.

"It's good, with the current pricing, I know why many students chose this place to eat."

"Right" Alicia smiled "Now we have finished eating, what should we do next?"

"Hmm... I think we already visited too many places these past weeks, should we went home and prepares for tomorrow?"

"How about we stroll a bit and go home after that, there's no need to visit any place, just walking on the street?"

He thought a bit and there's no problem with Alicia so he nodded.

"Exercise a bit after eating, so you don't get fat"

Suddenly, a dark aura appears from Alicia's body. She now looked like a demon.

"I'm not fat" She stated, refusing any other option

"I never said you are fa.." Alex tried to argued but Alicia just smiled at Alex. Many looking at Alicia smiled and mesmerized by her beautiful smile while Alex can only saw her smile was scary.

"I...I..." Alex scared. But suddenly there's a young man approached them

"My..my... isn't this princess Alicia." The young man said.

Alex just looked at the young man. The young man just looks like your typical noble and rather handsome.

"You are?" Alicia looked at the young man.

"I'm Nito Pondria. The second son of marquis Pondria. Please, nice to meet you, princess Alicia." Nito introduced himself.

"Good day to you Mr. Nito Pondria" Alicia returned the greeting.

Nito sent a glare at Alex.

"May I know who this gentleman is?" Nito said while looking down at Alex

"This gentleman is Alexander Sirius" Alicia introduced Alex to Nito

"Sirius? I never know any family or house with the name Sirius"

Before Alicia speak, Alex interrupted

"Because I'm a commoner"

"A commoner? Based on your status, you don't have the right to sit with princess Alicia. Break one of your arm and scram now" After hearing Alex was a commoner, he looked Alex with disdain. He then looked at Alicia

"Princess Alicia with your status, why are you sitting with this lowly commoner?. Rather than sitting with him, how about you stroll around with me?"

Nito was jealous, envy, and hate Alex. Not only Alex can sit with Alicia, but he also received her smile. After looking at Alicia's smile, Nito was mesmerized by her smile.

Alicia was stunned with the development.

"You..." Before Alicia has a chance, Nito continued

"Guards, break this lowly commoner limbs and throw him away." Nito ordered his guard with contempt.

Looking at the guards who approached Alex to start attacking Alex, Alicia shout

"You, who do you think you are. Who I want to meet with, I want to eat with. It's not your concern. And this guards what do you think you are doing"

Nito surprised by Alicia's response. He jealous Alex and glared at him angrily wanting to kill him.

"Do it, don't just break his limbs. Take his lowly life" he shouts.

The guards who stopped after Alicia shout, hearing their owner order, they started attacking Alex once again.

"You... Stop" Alicia shout again

The guards didn't pay any heed now, with Nito's order they want to grabbed Alex and kill him outside.

"rank 1..." looking at the guards' strength, Alex shaking his head

Looking at the guards approaching him. Alex just snorted. He effortlessly evades the guards. Alex punched the two guards in front of him. After receiving Alex's punch, the guard was sent flying a few meters. Luckily there is no spectacle like tables, Alex too doesn't want to break anything in this shop.

Normally, nobles guard was a rank 1 or rank 2. While the captain usually rank 3 or rank 4. So these two rank 1 guards want to kill Alex who was a rank 3 then it was their doom.

Alex then glared at Nito,

"You..." Nito shocked by Alex's strength.

Alex says nothing and slowly approached him.

"Don't you know who I am" Nito shocked

"Yes yes, some marquis second son" Alex replied nonchalantly

"You.. who do you think you are... I'm Nito Pondria. My father is a marquis. You dare to hit Pondria's house guard. You better prepared, you lowly commoner"

"..." Alex ignored him.

"You...don't come.."

After Alex got in front of him. Alex slapped him.

"You... dare to hit me. You finished. You will die."

Alex wanted to hit him once more, but suddenly Alicia grabbed Alex's hand. Alex looked at Alicia, she shook her head.

"Let's go home" Alex nodded.

Looking at the couple who want to leave, Nito shout.

"You.. you can't leave. I will kill you now, you commoner life are on the hand of nobles. So your life in my hand. Get here now, kowtow to me, and I will leave your body intact"

Hearing this, Alicia frowned, many others on the scene to frowned. Not only commoner looking at Nito angrily but also nobles.

"You..., commoner life was on themself, not nobles. We nobles got the power to serve the kingdom and helping the commoner." Alicia shout angrily "And also Alexander was the guest of my father. Are Pondria house planning to challenge our Rizertia house"

"I...I... don't dare" but Nito once again pointed his hand at Alex "But he hit me, a lowly commoner hit me and what right this lowly commoner become the guest of your house!"

"once more you pointed your hand at him, I will take it as the challenge to my Rizertia house, and who do you think you are to questioning my father, the grand duke decision" then she looked at Alex "Alex, let's just go home"

After they left, many commoners look at Nito angrily. While noble looked at him with disdain.

The guards standing up and approach Nito to escape the scene.

"That lowly commoner... that lowly commoner, I will kill him" Nito roared.

While Alex and Alicia walking home. Their atmosphere was awkward.

"Alex... what he said wasn't the view of nobles of this kingdom. So..." Alicia tried to explain. Even when she explained to Alex, she still said the Acacia kingdom. This shows her pride and love for the Acacia kingdom. Other kingdoms can be seen bad, but her kingdom cannot.

"..." Alex only maintain his silent

"Alex..." She tugged his arm.

Alex just shakes his head "I don't really care about that princess. I'm only a commoner. Even if we see my nationality, then I am Zircodia kingdom commoner, not this kingdom."

Hearing what Alex said, her heart shattered. He first started to call her with 'princess' once again. And he said he is 'Zircodina's commoner'.

"Alex... Listen to me..." Alicia wanted to explain to Alex.

Alex shook his head. He recalled when he was summoned. The ministers and nobles present at the hall were admired him and the other as heroes, but when they looked at his weak strength and potential, they looked at him with disdain.

"I just remembered, without status and strength. The other will look at you with contempt."

Alicia and Alex recalled when the first time they meet. Alex shows his strength, saving them from the orcs. It's only a special Nobles like Rizertia that didn't mind about Alex as Commoner. But if others see Alex a commoner talk with Alicia who is a princess, they can only say 'Rude'

"Alex...Let me explain..."

Alicia still tried to explain to Alex, while Alex only maintaining his silent.

When they arrived home.

"Well, then Princess. I will excuse myself" Alex politely said to Alicia.

"Alex..." Looking at Alex's back becoming further and further away, she bites her lips. She went to report today incident to her father.

"Father!"

"Oh.. you are back my darling daughter. How is your date with Alex? Why are you like this" Seeing Alicia stressed grand duke asked.

She calms herself down and started to tell what happened at the restaurant and Alex start distancing himself

"This... what is marquis Pondria teaching his son! Damn!" The grand duke was angry.

Meanwhile at Alex's room,

Alex sat on the sofa in lotus pose, he then calms himself and starts focus. He started his qi training according to basic cultivation manual that he got from the system

After 4 hours of cultivation, there's a sound on the outside.

'knock knock'

"Sir Alexander, it's time for dinner" the maid outside said.

Alex stopped his cultivating a bit, he opened the door and saw the maids.

"Please tell the duke, I'm sorry, I still in the middle practicing. Please proceed without me"

Looking at Alex who apologized, the maids don't know what to do. But after Alex closed his door again, the maids have no choice but to report.

After Alex close the door, he sat on the sofa once again.

"System, you there?"

[Yes Host]

"If I'm going to the academy, then how can I get a ticket ?"

[Host can dismantle your items. There will be a chance for tickets will appear]

"... Why you never talk about this system?"

[System judged it wasn't the time yet Host. System wanted to inform Host about this after Host used more than 500 tickets]

"How many tickets I already used?"

[493 Tickets]

"..." he sigh

"I want to dismantle"

[Please choose your items to dismantle]

"Hmm.. what should I dismantle? I think I only need one manual each, so any manuals that more than 1, dismantle it."

[Process]

[Ticket 12x]

"Then dismantle any tools that I have more than 5"

[Process]

[Ticket 19x]

"Then dismantle water bottles. I don't think I will need that much"

[Process]

[Ticket 1x]

"..., why only 1?! I dismantle 134 water bottles and only got one ticket?!" Alex snapped at system

[Water bottle was the lowest of the lowest items in the system, you can call it junk host. host already lucky to still get 1 ticket]

"..."

"But you are the one who give me that much!" Alex angry to system.

[Host, system is gacha system. it's your luck that matter, not system]

"%*$%"

After calming down a bit,

"System, use 10 tickets in Techniques, and the rest at Materials. I don't need any tools for the moment"

[Piano Manual 1x] [Fencing 2x] [Sword Art Manual 2x] [Basic Forging Manual 1x] [Spear Art Manual 2x] [Basic Medicine Manual 1x] [Basic Acupuncture Manual 1x] [Water Bottle 15x] [Iron ore 2x] [Mithril 3x] [Iron nail 1x] [Chicken Feather 1x]

"Forging!" Alex surprised

"At last, I got a forging manual. I already have Alchemy Manual but I don't have any cauldron to use. I searched everywhere but never found alchemy cauldron. It seems like now I can make my own cauldron." He jumped around happily. Ignoring that many water bottles he just gots.

After a while, he started calming down. "System, dismantle the item like before"

[Process]

[Ticket 2x]

"2 tickets... Let's save them for now"

While Alex still grinning happily, he doesn't know the mood in the dining hall.

In the dining hall, the atmosphere was gloomy, the one who makes this was grand duke and Alicia.

The rest was confused, why grand duke and Alicia was like this. So the wife asked grand duke

"What happened husband?"

Just as he was about to explain, the maids get in.

"Master, Sir Alexander said he was in the middle practice and he doesn't need a meal"

"Aah..." grand duke's face darkened "Alright, you go out"

The maids looking at grand duke, they scared and immediately left.

"Husband, what happened to you? Alicia? And Alexander?" The wife confused.

"This..." he calming himself down and started explaining what happened at the restaurant. And about Alex started distancing himself from Alicia

After hearing the whole story, the atmosphere becomes more gloomy than before. After eating, they just went back to their own room.

At night, Alex got back to cultivate when he finished opening his gacha. After cultivating for 2 hours, he opened his eyes.

"Hmm... summing up from before, 6 hours I can get 5 points status with one point each status.

It's almost midnight, so he prepared to sleep.

'knock knock'

Hearing the sound knocking door, Alex immediately opened the door. He surprised as he found Alicia was the one who came.

"Princess.."

"Alex..."

The atmosphere around them was awkward.

"Princess, what business do you have? It's almost midnight now. It will damage your reputation if you were seen when coming to a man's room at midnight" Alex broke the silence.

"Alex.., please... don't call me Princess, just call me Alicia like you always do" Alicia bites her lips. Looking Alex become so polite when talking to her, tears start forming at the corner of her eyes

"Princess, if only this matter. Please go back to your room to rest for tomorrow."

"Alex..." she looked down, dejected.

When Alex wants to close his door and Alicia was about to left. They heard the windows shattered. Alex immediately readied his battle stance, since he recognized the sound coming from his back. It's mean the windows that just got shattered was his room.

"Assassin" Alicia shout.

The assassin without further ado closed his distances with Alex and swing his dagger to Alex's neck.

Alex immediately blocked the assassin's hand and kicked him. The assassin surprised by Alex's reaction. He immediately put his other hand to block Alex's kick. But Alex's kick still blows him away.

'Strong' both of them immediately thought.

Recognizing each other power was the same. The assassin immediately changed his target to Alicia that was behind Alex.

Noticing the assassin's intent, Alex immediately grabbed Alicia to his bosom and dodged. Alex doesn't dodge thoughtlessly. He dodged to the side of his bed, where he placed his sword. He grabbed his sword. Alicia froze when Alex pulled her to his bosom, she blushed.

"Alex... I will help" when looking Alex grabbed his sword, she started to calm down.

Looking at Alex having the same strength, The assassin wants to escape.

"You want to leave?" Alex immediately swung his sword to the assassin, making him can't escape. Suddenly the duke voice was heard.

"Where is the assassin!" The duke roared.

When the assassin heard the sound of the grand duke. He knows he can't escape right now.

Noticing this, Alex wanted to interrogate him.

"Who are you? Who sent you?"

"You won't have any information from me"

"We will see...stop"

The assassin snorted and commit suicide.

Confirming the assassin dead, he looked at Alicia

"Princess.. you okay?" Alicia nodded.

"Princess, you should inform the grand duke"

"Alex..." Even after this incident, Alex seems to become more distanced from her. She bites her lips and left.

She doesn't know why Alex become so distanced from her so suddenly. In reality, when the incident in the restaurant. His past trauma resurfaced. When he was a kid, his parents loving him, but soon after he was useless comparing with her sister, they hated him.

When he has a friend in the middle school who treated him indifferently when he has a girlfriend who treated him so nice. And when they betrayed him together, become his trauma. He thought, now Alicia, grand duke, and king treating him nicely because of his talent,

when he thought 'what if I don't have this talent anymore will they betray him?' This thought of him keep surfacing in his mind. That's why he started to distance himself from her.

Not long after Alicia left, she came back with the grand duke.

"Alex... Let me do the rest, you rest in the room next door." Grand duke said after checking Alex if there are any wounds.

Alex nodded and left. While grand duke only shakes his head and blame that bastard Nito.

In the new bedroom, Alex just decided to sleep.

In the morning, Alex opened his eyes, he immediately dresses up.

'knock knock'

Alex opened his door when the maids looked at Alex already dressed, they surprised.

"Sir, we come to.."

"I have prepared, lead the way please" Alex interrupted.

The maids then lead the way to the garden. In the garden there's a carriage waiting, that was the previous carriage used when Alicia traveled. Beside the carriage, there are the grand duke and head butler waiting. Alex approached them

"Grand Duke, Head butler" Alex greeted them, but the tone he used was more polite.

The grand duke's face darkened.

"Alex... How are you?"

"I'm fine. Thanks for the grand duke's concern"

Hearing Alex's response, he gritted his teeth "The assassin was a rank 3, he doesn't belong to any organization nor family. I heard from Alicia, you got attacked by the son of marquis. So, what happened yesterday may be linked to them. After you set off, I will immediately go to Pondria's house to demands an explanation."

Alex nodded "Thank you, grand duke"

Grand duke sighed. After a while, Alicia got out. She wears a white dress, matching it with Alex's white cloth.

"Father" She greeted grand duke when she turned to Alex "Alex..." she greeted Alex awkwardly.

"Good morning princess Alicia" Alex greeted her politely.

Noticing the awkwardness,

"Since the two of you here, let's go" the grand duke said

The four of them got in the carriage, the travel doesn't take too much time, only ten minutes.

"Then you two have a nice day" the grand duke said

Alicia and Alex nodded and walk to the academy, while the grand duke and his butler going to Pondria's house.

They walked to the crowd forming in line in front of the academy. Alex and Alicia joined the queue.

"Rank 0, warrior, no element, 18 years old. Failed!"

"Rank 1, Warrior, no element, 16 years old. Passed!"

"Rank 0, Mage, Fire element, 17 years old. Passed!"

The old man assessed the recruits, some failed and some passed.

"Alex, you have the recommendation letter from the king, you don't need to wait here" Alicia whispered to Alex

"I will wait for you first Princess"

"Rank 1, Mage, Fire element, 16 Years old. Passed!" the old man surprised.

"We have a genius this year" the other teacher who standby also joined.

"Yeah, A rank 1 fire element mage, and he is still 16 years old. He is a genius"

The recruitment for these years was for 16 years old to 19 years old. A rank 1 warrior usually was around 18 years old. While rank 1 mage was rarer than rank 1 warrior. So a 16 years old rank 1 mage was abnormal.

"What is your name?" The old man asked politely.

"My name is Rio Maroria, First son of earl Maroria." He said with a smug smile. He already expected this result since he already tested in his house. Many people already claimed he was a genius.

"So, it's sir Rio Maroria. I heard so much about you." The old man politely said

Rio and Alicia just silent watching this scene. After Rio's assessment, many wannabe students envy and jealous of his talents. Rio stood by the side, watching the other assessment while grinning.

After a while, it's time for Alicia's assessment.

"Rank 1, Mage, Ice Element, 16 years old. Passed!" the old man surprised once more. The truth is Alicia was almost rank 2. After traveling with Alex for four months. Alex likes going out alone to kill monsters, but Alicia often followed him. So Alicia who was a new rank 1 mage when they first met now almost a rank 2 mage.

"This... a genius appeared again!" the crowd shocked.

"it's.. not water element. But ice element!" ice element was more advanced element than water element, so ice element was even rarer than fire and water element.

Rio shocked. He not only shocked by Alicia's talent but also her beauty. He immediately decided he will get this woman. So he walked to Alicia.

"Oh my, This is Princess Alicia. A pleasure to meet you, princess. My name is Rio Maroria. The first sone of earl Maroria. Since the princess already passed the assessment, why don't we got in together"

"Greeting to you, sir Rio Maroria. I will wait for him first" she looked at Alex. When Alicia looked at Alex, Rio sent a cold gaze to Alex

"You can scram from here. You don't need to be assessed. You failed!" Rio commanded.

Alex ignored Rio and give his letter to the old man.

"Sir, this is my recommendation letter" Alex politely gave his letter to the old man. Each noble will have one recommendation letter for their house. They usually used it for their children who have no talent.

Looking at Alex's recommendation letter. Rio thought Alex must be a poor talent since he needed a recommendation letter. So he looked at Alex with contempt.

"Huh, recommendation letter. Your talent was so bad you need to use a recommendation letter. You don't have the right for Alicia to wait for you. Just scram from here."

"Sir Rio Maroria. We are not familiar with each other. So don't call me by my name. And also it's not your business who I waiting for" Alicia said.

"You..." seeing Alicia reprimanded him, he hated Alex more then he looked at the old man and other teachers "I don't want him in the academy, he has no talent and only relying upon recommendation letter."

"You... please leave, the academy doesn't welcome you" The old man said, giving Alex's letter back.

"You... Why did you act like this! You will regret this" Alicia glared at the old man and Rio. Rio only snorted, he jealous of seeing Alicia with Alex. He already considered Alicia to be his woman. So he wanted to chase Alex away. While the old man saw Alex relying on a recommendation letter, he already decided it's better to get on Rio's good side than Alex.

Alex surprised by this action. He shaking his head and sighed. When he just about to leave.

"Wait!"

"Wait!"

The sound coming from an old man who flying toward them.

"De...an, Dean what occasion you have here?" the old man stood up

"You are the head examiner this time?" the dean gave a cold gaze to him.

"Yes..yes" the old man stuttered. The dean snorted then he turned to Alex

"Are you the one mentioned by the king? Alexander Sirius?"

Alex nodded. The others were shocked. 'was the dean know this young man?' they thought

Confirming It's was Alexander, then he looked at the letter on Alex's hand

"Is that the king's recommendation letter?" He asked

Alex nodded again. All people excluding Alicia were shocked hearing Alex response. The letter Alex has wasn't a normal nobles recommendation letter but 'The King' recommendation letter. What makes the king give his recommendation letter to him, many people thought of this at the moment.

"Can I see it?"

Alex nodded and gave the letter to the king. The dean opened his letter carefully like opening a treasure. Looking at the content he was shocked.

"Ah... ah... King, you want me to get a heart attack." He then looked at Alex "You... know the king mentioned about you. He said you will give me a big surprise with the letter you hold, aih..."

The dean took a while to calm down, then he asked Alex.

"Do you want to be my student?" The dean asked.

"I am not welcomed to be a student in the academy" Alex shook his head.

"What... Who? Who said that?! I will butcher him" The dean roared. Alex pointed at the Old man and Rio.

"You... you are not qualified to be the head of the examiner this year. You are already too old and still a rank 6, you can retire now" the dean immediately dismissed the old man with just one finger from Alex. 'what is the content of the letter?' 'is he an illegitimate son of the king?'

"De...an, dean I already contributed so much for the academy"

"Then choose, whether you sacrificed yourself or he can leave the academy. Even you sacrificed yourself he won't be this academy student this year" The dean pointed at Rio

Of course, he chose to sacrifice Rio. He himself was the elder from earl house too. So he wasn't afraid of Rio.

"You..." Rio shouted

The dean ignored them and he turned to Alex, the dean asked Alex once more,

"Do you want to be my student?"

After thinking for a while Alex shake his head

"It's enough for me to be a student in the academy"

All the people including Alicia shocked by Alex's response. The dean was a rank 8 fire mage and doesn't have any student. Many people want to be the dean student, it's mean to become a successor of rank 8 fire mage. But Alex rejected him.

When the dean read Alex's letter. The content was Alex's talents. He was shocked by Alex's talents. So he desperately asked Alex to be his successor.

"You.. sure? How about you think again. Look at me, I still don't have any successor. So..so.. how to make you be my student?" the dean still shocked with Alex, never he thought Alex will reject him.

When Alex was just about to shake his head. Alicia whispered something to his ear

"Alex... are you stupid? The dean was one of the 10 rank 8 of the kingdom. A rank 8 fire mage. He can teach you better about fire elements, spells, and others. It's much much better than my elder sister. Hurry accepted to be his student!"

Alex looked at Alicia for a while, he nodded. Then he turned to the dean and bowed to him

"Please take care of me, teacher"

Looking at Alex agreed to be his student, the dean was in cloud nine. A rank 3 warrior who has pure fire element, if Alex's talent was noticed by the other kingdom, then there will be a war to have Alex.

"Sure sure sure. Let's go, my student, we will immediately finish your arrangement. Let's go inside" He give a thumb up to Alicia.

Hearing the dean invitation, Alex looked at Alicia. He wanted to ask the dean to bring her too but Alicia just nodded.

"Go in first, I will meet you later" she smiled.

Alex nodded, the dean and Alex fled to the inside.

In the dean office,

Alex and Dean sited on the sofa,

"Haiz... the king really give me a big present this time. You know when the king mentioned you. He just said you will give me a big surprise. When you give me his letter, I almost got a heart attack you know. You want to know the content?"

Alex nodded.

"The content was about your talent. Haiz, a 17 years old, rank 3 warrior, pure fire element. If these words heard by another kingdom. We will have a war to have you. So make sure you don't tell others about your talents"

The dean concealed a latter part of the letter. The latter part was for him to have the same room with Alicia. It's mentioned about his engagement with Alicia too. He shocked about Alex's talents so he wanted to pay back his student. He must be shocked if he gets the same room with Alicia.

"I will remember teacher words" with a solemn expression

"Good good good" Satisfied with Alex response

The dean then explained the rule and environment in the academy. There's three grade student in the academy, for the freshman to advance to the second grade, they will need to pass a certain requirement. If they not passed after a year then they need to leave from the academy. The same with the advancement to third grade.

That's why the second-grade student only had 200 students while the third grade has 30 students. It's mean whoever graduate from this academy whether they are commoner or nobles will have a boundless prospect. Because they are the elite of the elite.

Noticing it's already evening, he stop explaining.

"It's already this late, here is your key. The dormitory was behind this building. The room number is already shown in your key." He gave Alex a golden key, with number 401 on it.

"Then, I will excuse myself teacher" Alex left.

Alex went to the dormitory. Alex saw a lady in her mid-thirties wearing teacher uniforms at the entrance of the dormitory. So Alex decided to greet her.

"Greeting teacher"

"You are a new student?"

"Yes. I just got here"

She nodded. "Since you are a new student then you must stay in this dormitory. What is your name? I will check any room remaining"

"My name is Alexander Sirius. Actually, I already have the room key" He shown the key that dean gives him.

"Let me see" She take the key and saw number 401 on it, she nodded "Your room number is 401. It's the furthest room on the fourth floor."

"Thank you teacher" Alex then left.

"Hmm. 401. I think that room already occupied with a lady just now. Whatever" Seeing Alex already left, she doesn't care anymore.

Alex didn't know when he got accepted as a successor of the dean, it's become big news for the kingdom immediately.

In Pondria House,

There are two middle-aged men chatting, they are the grand duke and marquis Pondria.

"I heard my son was hit by your guest, grand duke Raymond. May I ask what this means?" Marquis Pondria said with a menacing tone.

"but I heard another story about that" Grand duke said in a carefree manner.

"Oh.. please tell me"

"Your son wanted to cripple my guest in front of my daughter. And another story was about your son, flaunt his title as nobility and humiliate commoners"

"Why I never heard of that. You must be joking with me grand duke Raymond" Marquis Pondria surprised.

"Haha.. how about you asked your son"

"Butler Ji, call Nito here" He ordered his butler. After a while, Nito Pondria got in the room

"What happened yesterday?" Marquis looked at his son.

"Father you must get me justice. He hit our guards, and he even slapped my face" Nito pleaded.

"Oh. That's what happened Grand duke, I demand your explanation grand duke!. If anyone can hit my son's face, won't my Pondria don't have any face anymore" Marquis turned to Grand duke.

"Then, why your son was hit?" grand duke still continue his carefree manner.

"He... he was rude to me. He ignored me when I talked to him" Nito said.

"That was the reason grand duke Raymond. Are you satisfied? Now I need an explanation"

"Then, let me tell you the story I heard. My daughter accompanying my guest to the restaurant. But my guest was told to scram in front of my daughter. Not only he was told to scram but also need to break his arm. Because of that he just ignored him. Then your son ordered his guard to crippled him. My guest only fights back, is there any wrong about it?"

"But, my son still got hit." The marquis keep pressing this matter.

"You..." The duke's face starts to become solemn. But suddenly

'knock knock'

"Come in" Marquis said.

His butler then comes inside the room.

"Master, we got news. The dean of Royal Academy got a successor" butler inform him.

"What? The dean got a successor? Who is it? Male or female? Is he single?" This news was shocking the marquis to that extent. While grand duke only sipped his tea, but if they focus on him, you can see there is a slight smile on his face.

"His name is Alexander Sirius."

"So his name was Alexander. Aren't my daughter in the Academy? Make her try to get closer with him"

"Yes, the young miss was second grade in the academy" then the marquis turned to the grand duke "I'm sorry grand duke for the interruption. Now we should go back to the matter beforehand"

After hearing Alex's name and what his father makes his sister to do, Nito got insane, he hated Alex so much

"It's him, father. He was the one who hit me"

"What? It's him." He turned to the grand duke, trying to confirm his guest

"Oh. My guest's name was Alexander Sirius."

"You bastard!" The marquis slapped his son immediately, Nito blown away by the slap. He then turned to grand duke and said with a solemn face "Locked him in his room, I will deal with him later"

"I will give you an explanation of this matter."

"Haha. Then I remembered I have something to do, Marquis. I will excuse myself" after achieving his objective the grand duke wants to immediately leave. "Oh. I recalled my guest almost got assassinated yesterday night. I'm still investigating it though. Haha I will excuse myself"

Hearing the last words of the grand duke, marquis's face darkened.

"Butler Ji, send the guest out"

Though Grand duke wants an explanation from the marquis. He doesn't want the relationship to become 'you die or I perished". So he still gives the marquis way out.

In Maroria's house.

"Father, you must get me justice" Rio pleaded.

"What happened?"

"Your son was humiliated in front of crowds by some commoner. I was banned for this year enrollment while the commoner succeed"

"what? Some commoner dares to do that to my son. I will get you justice. I know the dean, I sometimes chatted with him. I will make him expel that commoner. And make you got into the academy. My son was a genius I'm sure he will choose my son than that commoner. Son, you are tired, why don't you rest first." The Earl said.

If the earl knows the student he wants to expelled was the dean successor. Let you imagine yourself.

.

Alex got into the room. The room almost the same as the guest room he has in Rizertia's house. There's one bed, one sofa, and the necessity for studies like table and chair. The different was there is a bathroom in the room.

Alex remembered he didn't take a bath yesterday. So he decided to take a bath first.

After a while, there's someone opened the door. She scanned the whole room.

"Is this a single room? I thought in the academy will need to have a room for two"

She heard someone in the bathroom still showering.

"Hmm. So it's true, I'm not alone. Well, the bed was big enough for two, so we can sleep together in the bed. Fufu, well I will wait for her finish first" She then sat on the sofa, "Alex..."

Yes. She is Alicia. She recalling Alex distancing himself from her

"I need to know the reason why he distances himself" determination filled her eyes.

Not long after she heard, the sound in the bathroom gone. 'oh, she finished. Let's greet her'

She got in front of the bathroom. When the door opened.

"Hi, My name Alicia. Nice to meet you." She smiled.

"Alicia?"

When she heard this voice she froze.

"A..Alex" Her face was red.

"Princess, what are you doing in my room?"

"Your room? But this is my room"

"Your room? Really?" Alex surprised.

Suddenly their brain clicked with each other 'King and Grand duke!' 'Father and Uncle'

Alicia blushed.

"I will go back to the dean, to discuss this princess. I will go out."

When Alex wanted to go out, Alicia grabbed his hand.

"Alex.. why don't we shared this room? I don't mind. Please" She pleaded Alex.

"This..., Alright" looking at Alicia pleading gaze he decided to tell his teacher about this arrangement tomorrow

She smiled, after a while, she blushed.

' a man and woman in a room' her face was red like a tomato. Her imagination went wild

"Then Princess can take the bed. I will take the sofa"

"Ah.."

"I will practice then" Alex then go to the sofa, sit in lotus pose.

"Alex..! why do you call me princess? Please call me Alicia like always"

Alex who just closed his eyes opened again.

"I just realized you are a princess. I will need to call you Princess. If not your reputation will be damaged"

"But I don't mind"

"But I mind, princess. It's for your own good. I'm sure people will mind it too. There's no way a commoner like me dare to call you by your name"

"But...but.."

"If it's just that matter, I will practice now" Alex then Ignored his surroundings and focused to cultivate.

"Alex...Alex..." Alicia tried to call him but to no avail. She doesn't dare to move Alex.

After 4 hours of cultivation, he then opened his eyes. He realizes it's already time for his sleep. When he just about to stand up, he felt there's something on his lap. He looked down, he saw Alicia sleeping, using his lap as her pillow.

He shook his head and sighed. He carried Alicia in a princess carry, he put her in the bed and cover her with a quilt. After that, he got backed to the sofa and sleep.

In the morning, Alicia woke up. She saw Alex swinging his sword. She rubbed her eyes, checking if she was awake or not. Then she started to recall the matter last night. She tried to call him but to no avail, then she observed him from the side until unknowingly fall asleep in his lap. She blushed.

Noticing Alicia wake up, Alex stopped.

"Princess, did I wake you up?" Alex asked.

"No..no.. you don't make a sound when swinging too, so I don't hear any sound." She still blushed.

"I see. I already bring you breakfast on the table over there." He pointed at the table. The only table was for study. Usually, this room was for one special student. So the furniture was for one person.

"Um... Thank you Alex" Alex just nodded.

She then went to the table, eating her breakfast.

"Alex do you have breakfast already?" She turned to Alex. Alex nodded. the reality Alex still doesn't have breakfast. When he asked for breakfast, they need to show their room key. But since this room was a one-person room. He was given for one person's breakfast. So he lied.

"That's good then" she smiled.

After finishing her breakfast, she changed to a uniform in the bathroom. The uniform was white-colored with a white jacket, and white miniskirt for women and white trousers pants.

"Alex, Let's go to the registration office"

"Registration office?" Alex confused

"You don't know?"

Alex shook his head "Teacher doesn't inform me"

"We need to go to the registration office first to see which class we are"

Alex nodded and followed Alicia, the one in charge of the registration office was a woman in her thirties.

"You..are from yesterday" the teacher in charge said.

"Greeting to you teacher." Alex said. The teacher in charge was the woman teacher Alex saw yesterday in front of the dormitory entrance.

"I see. If I'm not wrong your name was Alexander Sirius right?"

He nodded.

"Your class is on S-class. The room was the furthest room on the first floor in the main building. I have high expectation on you young man"

"S-class?" Alex confused

"You don't know?" She surprised. then she explained "for first grade in this school, we have 6 class, they are S, A, B, C, D, E-classes. The student was put on the ranking from E to S. Which means in the S class was the student that has the most potential. And do you hear about our dean got a successor this year, do you know who is he?"

Alex sweat dropped "I will try my best"

Satisfied with Alex's response she nodded. then she turned to Alicia

"You are?"

"My name is Alicia Van Rizertia"

"Rizertia.." She stood up "I'm sorry for my negligence Princess Alicia, your highness class was S-class too"

"Thank you"

"No no... it's my job"

"Then we will excuse ourselves"

"Yes, a good day for you your highness" when she saw Alicia and Alex left. She thought who is the man who stands beside the princess, sweatdropped. She shook his head

Alex and Alicia go to their classroom when they arrived. The classroom was half full with 10 people including them. That means this class will have 20 students.

When they arrived some people noticed Alicia. Many come to greet her.

Alex avoids this, he went to the table on the back next to the window. The table was big enough for multiple people. Alex sits on the side, he doesn't want to get unnecessary attention.

Suddenly there's someone sitting on his side, he turned his head, he saw a female, she has red hair hanging to her waist, a big-b.r.e.a.s.ted, and slender body. You can call her a fiery seductress.

"You are the dean student aren't you?" She asked.

"You know me?"

"I saw you at the test yesterday." Alex then nodded.

"What your name?"

"Alexander Sirius"

"My name is Firia Merona, first daughter of Marquis Merona. Nice to meet you."

Alex nodded "Nice to meet you"

"Have you awaken your element?" Alex thought a while then he nodded.

"Really? What is your element?" she grabbed Alex hand

"Fire" still no change with Alex's expression. Even though she was so s.e.xy, Alex just consider her as some female chatted with him, he doesn't care about her s.e.xiness, he already hated about the relationship with women because his ex-girlfriend, only Alicia was a bit more special to him.

"Really? I have a fire element too. Let's train together since we have the same Element" Alex only nodded.

Alicia noticed that Alex sit on the back. She wanted to go to Alex and sit beside him when she saw someone already sit beside Alex, she wants to hurry to go to him. But she froze when she saw the woman chatting with Alex got closer and closer and now she holds his hands

'bi*ch' Alicia cursed. She immediately went to them

'cough cough'

"Princess"

"Ara..ara..Isn't this Princess Alicia, greeting to your highness princess."

"Yes, nice to meet you. If I'm not wrong you are Marquis Merona daughter, your name is Firia Merona"

"I'm honored for your highness princess remembered me."

"Yes, then can you move to the side. I want to sit here" she glare at Firia.

"But, I already have this sit for myself. Alexander do you mind I'm sitting beside you?"

Alex only shook his head. He really doesn't care whoever sits beside him. He only wanted to study. But it's different for Alicia. Seeing Alex have no problem with it, she thought Alex was already seduced by Firia.

'bit*h' she thought. Firia Merona was one of the top beauty in the capital. She was known as a seductress in the capital.

Alicia gritted her teeth, she sat next to Firia to make sure she doesn't seduce Alex.

Looking at the commotion because of Alicia and Firia fighting for Alex. Everybody started whispered, of course, the target was Alex. Alex can only sigh.

Not long after the teacher comes to the class. The class was about the general introduction to this world. Firia was bored and started to flirt with Alex, but Alicia always stopped her. After the class ended.

"Alex...you don't mind calling you Alex right?" Firia asked. Alex just nodded.

"Let's go to the cafeteria together." Firia asked Alex. When Alex just about to nod, Alicia suddenly interrupted

"Alex will go together with me" Alicia said and Alex nodded.

Seeing Alex nod, Alicia smiled smugly to Firia. Firia gritted her teeth. Then Alex and Alicia go to the cafeteria, she saw Firia following them

"Why are you following us?" Alicia asked.

"I just want to go to cafeteria" Firia snorted. She keeps following them. In the cafeteria, three of them having lunch at the same table, the foods weren't that good. Firia keeps following them with so many excuses.

"Alex, I want to go to the bathroom a bit" Alicia said. Alex nodded

When Alicia go to the bathroom, she heard two boys talking about breakfast.

"The breakfast was too small, I can't eat to the full in the morning."

"Yes, I think so too. We can only get two breakfast since our room was for two people"

"Yeah, we need to show our key first before they gave us breakfast."
