66 Conclusion
"Kya--!" Screamed was echoed in the arena, mostly from the girls, while the boys were gulped down.
Alicia used her hands to cover her up but still peeked between the gap in her hand.
The Dean facepalmed and shook his head. Though he secretly put a big thumb up to him.
Brandon frowned.
Everyone was shocked by what they see. Because Alex beheaded John's 'little brother'.
"I won't kill you now since it will be bad for this kingdom but I still need to do this. Hehe... A eunuch. You are a hero but also a eunuch. If we make a story about this, back in the Earth, that might be a trending story" Alex said to the unconscious John. Though not many people heard since Alex only said it in a low voice, but a high-rank people heard what Alex said just now, they want to laugh hard but can not.
The Dean tried really hard not to laugh, then he turned to Brandon. "He didn't kill him...pfft!"
"Hmph" Brandon then started to move to gather John, Sandra, and Ayaka. Though, he also secretly relieved, that his pupil won't be ruined by that bastard. Though he personally wanted to give Alex a thumb up, he also felt conflicted, because Alex has ruined his kingdom. So he put his unemotional face.
Brandon was shocked by Alex's power now, but what most shocking was Alex's growth. Alex only used one year to become an experienced rank 5 warrior and to boost it, Alex was also an alchemist. If he knew about Alex was an alchemist greater than the Dean, He might immediately report it to the king. That was only Alex's identity as an alchemist.
If he also knew about Alex's pure fire element, his forging skill, and his real prowess. He might die on the spot because of the shock or he might need to kill Alex whatever the consequences.
Fortunately, Alex didn't show his power too much. If not the situation will become grim. Alex only used his sword, sanguin sword art up to fourth slash and a bit of his fire element and he also didn't use his spear. If Alex really used his fire element all out, This previous marshall would notice it.
Dean Marco looked at Alex worriedly, after Alex relieve his own burden this time, what change will bring it to him. Would Alex become a better individual?. The Dean shook his head, for better or worse, he already decided to support Alex with his all.
Alex standing on the stage in thought. All his mind was refreshed after relieving this burden of his. He thought if this continue, the hero would be insane because of this. Then the one who will be the first to bear his madness would be Sandra and Ayaka. Alex at first thought the princess would also be the one to bear John's madness but he rejected that idea after looking at the old marshall.
Because of Sandra betraying him, his heart was really in pain. The world seems to be broken, he keeps thinking about suicide back then, but he fought that idea. Alex closed his eyes. He wanted Sandra to experience what is hurt like his heart back then. Sometimes, living would seem worse than dying.
When he deep in thought, Alicia already arrived in front of him and hugged him. Alex was surprised, he opened his eyes hurriedly and saw Alicia hugging him. He only closed his eyes again and enjoyed the feeling.
But, Something heard in his mind.
[Congratulations Host, you have fixed one of the biggest problems in your life. Now, the system will be updating... Calculation time: 8H30m]
Alex suddenly frowned, he caught something from the system announcement.
'One of the biggest problems in my life?' since he never has any big problem in this world, he thought about his family back on Earth, 'Is that the problem? But if I want to solve them, how?'
Alex shook his head, he stopped thinking about it. But he never thought that the 'problem' his system said was his future problem.
"Alex?" Alicia looked at him confusedly, she confused why Alex suddenly shook his head.
"Alicia, was I merciless just now?" Alex looked at her. Though he didn't have any emotion in his face when he asked about that. Alicia felt something wrong in Alex's voice, she felt Alex was unsure and uneasy.
"You are doing what you thought is correct, even if you kill them I would still beside you" ?She smiled gently to him
When he heard Alicia's response, he smiled. "Thank you"
...
When the dean wanted to go to Alex. suddenly there are two people running toward him and Brandon. He recognized one of them because one of them was his assistant.
When he saw the other guys hurriedly went to Brandon. He knew. Turned out the other guy was Brandon Informant.
His assistant whispered something to him. After hearing what he said, the dean was surprised.
"You sure?"
"Yes"
He looked at Brandon. Who also in shock.
"Are you sure about this?" Brandon asked. Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,
"Yes, Milord"
Brandon then turned to Dean Marco.
They looked at each other, they seem to have the same news.
"Your student was really lucky this time huh...Marco"
"Hehe..." The dean smirked.
"We will immediately go back to the kingdom. Prepare the carriage" Brandon said to his assistant.
"Y-yes milord, I will prepare it immediately"
...
Back to Alex,
Alex separated with Alicia and leave the arena. They saw Firia waiting for them.
Firia only smiled at them. but her smile full of meaning.
Alex and Alicia were embarrassed.
"Thank you, Firia" Alex thanked her.
"Thank you Firia" Alicia also thanked her
"Hmph, I just did what I need to do"
The trio then went away. Because of this incident, the classes were suspended for tomorrow. Alex was summoned to Dean's office.
Alex opened the door, he saw his teacher sitting in luxury, relaxing.
"Teacher, what do you need me for?" Alex decided to broke the silent
"Hehe...I can't call you if I don't have a need?" The dean teased.
"No-no, You can call me all the time" Alex denied it hurriedly.
The Dean laughed, then his face turned to solemn, "Well, I have something for you"
"First, there is a piece of good news for you. The hero and his companion already went back to their kingdom"
Alex was shocked by this news. His eyes widened. He thought this is only the first day for John and the rest in the academy. But they already went back now.
"Are you think this was too fast?"
Alex nodded.
"This is the other news, the war almost started, whatever the reason, Zircodina needed the hero to boost their morale even he is weak."
Alex frowned, "Why?"
"A small friction happened in the battlefield, one of the rank 6 captains of Zircodina was slain by the demon"
Alex's eyes widened, "Are the war going to start soon?"
"Yes, there will be many small conflicts like this. I predict the big war will come in two to three months from now."
"Teacher, Exactly what is the reason for this war?" Alex was curious about this.
The Dean shook his head. "We also didn't know the reason. We tried to search the reason in Zircodina and Holy Kingdom but to no avail. But there is one thing that for sure, the war was started because of Zircodina attacking the demon first"
Alex was shocked by what he just heard. He recalled when he was summoned in Zircodina. His first impression for Zircodina's king was a wise king, but after hearing his teacher said the reason for this war was because Zircodina attacking the demon first, he contemplated.
Why Zircodina attack the demon first? What is the reason? Zircodina king, was he really a wise king? Or he...
"Teacher, I want to go to the battlefield"
This time was the dean turned to be shocked. "NO!"
"I...I want to know the truth of this war, please let me go, teacher"
"NO! You think your power was already so great. Your power was only a feeble thing on the battlefield. Even a rank 8 mage like me might die on the battlefield."
"But, I..."
"No means No!"
Alex depressed, his teacher was adamant to not let him go. He sighed.
"Then can I at least know where the battlefield took place?"
The dean sighed, "Well I can let you know. The battlefield might take place in one of the neural territories, Wilow Plain"
"Wilow plain?" Alex recalled something. "The wilow plain beside the Sagur Forest? the forest that has a volcano?"
"Yes, That's the one"
"But, aren't they a bit far for Zircodina and the demon?" Alex asked.
"Don't forget, This wasn't a war between The demon and Zircodina alone, The holy kingdom also participated"
Alex's eyes brightened, He forgot about it "I see"
"Then Teacher what do you want me to do?"
"Nothing, Just continue studying in the academy. We can make some more pills if you want"
Alex now in silence, at the first he wanted to study alchemy was because it was useful. Now, he already ate most of the pills, there are some rare pills that he hasn't bring out but one of the ingredients was a rank 6 monster core. He wanted to solve it himself but since he can't go out, he can only ask his teacher
"Teacher, This is a rank 2 pill recipe" Alex grabbed a paper and write a few materials on it.
The dean nodded and grabbed the paper. He was surprised "Rank 6 monster core?"
This is the first time he saw a monster core as an ingredient. He asked confusedly "Aren't the use of monster core was to supply energy to lamps or the like?"
"Yes, but didn't the teacher realize the energy between pills was different? Actually, there are some pill recipes with the monster core as one of their ingredients. I don't take it out because I was unsure what is the monster core because when I killed monsters they didn't had any core. After I went to the dungeon I realize that the monster there had monster core within their body"
Actually, Alex hides another reason of his. The pill made by a monster core was tightly bound to cultivation, he didn't know if those pills had any effect on others.
"I see, what is the pill effect?"
"I didn't really understand, it was said this pill can make explosive energy so the one who ate it can absorb that energy to their body"
"..." The dean was in thought, "Whatever, The herb needed was a bit rare so we can't really mass produce this pill. I will inform you when I have found all the ingredients, you can go back first"
"Thank you teacher"
Alex then left the office, he went back to his room.
After he went back, he
