26 Purifying Spiritual Liquid (1/2)
Alex sigh, he explained why he agreed. He never wanted to participate in the ranking, but since his teacher compelled him to win, he reluctantly accepts.
”....” They was speechless, every student wanted to become a winner, not only they get the academic point to exchange warrior skill or magic skill. And also glory.
But Alex answer only, ”Glory? Why I need it if I become famous it will become troublesome for me. And for skill... Can't I just get it from teacher?”
When thinking about Alex's answer. True Alex can get his skill from the dean. As for glory, Firia doesn't get why Alex said it will become trouble for him since she pursued Alex if Alex becomes famous it can be a legal reason for her to pursue Alex if her family question her. Though Alicia knew, especially she knew about Alex's relationship with hero and friends from Zircodina kingdom.
Alex harbored a hatred to them, and the same with the opposite party. If Alex becomes too famous, Zircodina kingdom will hear about him too. If the news reaches the hero's ears, he might be pushed Alex to the corner with his prestige in Zircodina kingdom. Though the dean and royal family may shelter him, what if the opposite party use assassin again, like the other night. Thinking about this makes Alicia shuddered.
”Yeah, why we need glory. Your safety is my happiness” Alicia said
”Princess, aren't you going to compete for the final?”
”Ah.. is it my time already?” Alicia realized she is one of the finalists.
”Yes”
”Then I will go first” but when she was about to leave.
”Princess” Alex shouted.
Hearing Alex calling her she turn back
”Please be careful, even if you lose it's alright”
Alicia was angry when she about scolded Alex, she heard Alex continue
”Your safety is my happiness”
She was immediately full of joy ”Yes” she went to the arena smiling happily. Firia on the side was jealous.
But Alex relieved when the referee announce Joshua can't participate because of his injury. So Alicia becomes the number of S-class.
”Tomorrow will be the last day. For tomorrow number one to number ten from each class can challenge each other.”
Alicia went back to Alex and Firia. After chatting a bit, Alicia and Firia went back while Alex go to his teacher
”I just look at the participant's name for tomorrow. I want to ask you, why are your names not on the list?” The dean mad.
”Does teacher not see what happened in the arena?” Alex confused since the dean didn't do anything when he was disqualified, he thought he agreed.
”I occupied to keep Taiga in-check”
Alex told him what happened in the arena.
”What. He dared to disqualify you?. I will go to him now” The dean was angry.
”Teacher, today training?”
”You go back now, just practice your mana control”
Just before Alex went back to his room. He suddenly recalls ”I still have the spiritual liquid, since I have improved my control. I think this is the best time to give the liquids to her.
”System, how can I remove the impurities from this liquid?”
[Host just need to burn the liquid directly at low temperatures to make sure the liquid doesn't evaporate for a period of time. Your flame will burn the impurities bit by bit.]
”I see”
Alex then tried to purify the first liquid. After half an hour of burning the liquid, he succeeds.
”System is this the pure liquid?”
[Yes Host]
”Can you scan them?”
[Analyzing]
[Spiritual Liquid
A Liquid From A Mixed Monster Blood And Herbs
Use: Increase Mana Supply (High)]
”Oh.. it's really not polluted any more.” He noticed something different ”System, wasn't the use last time was Increase mana supply (low)? Why now it become (High)?”
[Just like pills, impurities not only make a side effect, it can make the main effect lower]
”Oh, I understand”
He then purifies the other one. He then confused.
”Should I give all of them to Princess, or I give Princess and Miss Firia each?”
After thinking a bit he decided ”I will just give all of them to Princess, me and miss Firia only know for one week, she may thought I have an ulterior motive. Since Princess also get the championship, I should congratulate her”
He went back to the room. Alicia surprised when she saw Alex came back early.
”Did something happened? Is it because the tournament” Alicia worried.
Alex nod, he started told her what happened with his teacher.
Alicia laughed, ”That bastard must regretted his choice”
”Princess, your word” Alex reprimand her
”Umm, sorry” She looked down. The atmosphere becomes awkward.
”Princess, since you become the champion from S-class. I want to give you a present”
”Present? The best present for me now is for you call me Alicia again like in the past” Alicia teased. She was frustrated, Alex never called her with her name again after the incident at the restaurant.
”Ugh...” Alex looked down.
”Fine, I will wait for you to call me by my name again. But don't make waiting for too long” She pouted.
”Yes” Alex sigh.
”So what is this present all about?”
Alex gave the spiritual liquids to her.
