55 Alex
Outside,
"Firia..." Alicia look at Firia solemnly.
Firia gulped down.
"What exactly we think Alex is....?" Alicia asked with a sad face.
"I...I...think..." Firia can't think any words to describe Alex now.
"The first ti I et Alex, My group was attacked with a great number of orcs, Alex save and my group. At that ti he was only a rank 1 warrior. Now that I think about it, I already know Alex for 1 year.
For 1 year, he was struggled from rank 1 warrior to rank 5. I really didn't notice this. Alex really went a great great great effort this year"
Firia was tongue-tied, she was shocked with Alex power, he reached this state of him with just a year. What..what is he experienced this year...
"To...to ranking up... we need to level up...and to level up we need to kill many monsters" Firia said bitterly
"Yes... I didn't realize just now, How much Alex went to life and death battle with monsters, he...he..." Alicia start to cried up.
Firia hugged him and also shedding tears.
"I didn't realize, I seem only using him. What exactly I did for him? I realize just now when seeing him in that state, I really didn't do anything for him. He was the one who did everything. He protect ...he give many pills...he.." Alicia's tears streaming down.
Firia bite her lips, "I too, when I first et him. I approaching him with an intent. I never look at him properly, even with our shallow friendship he still give many precious pills, but I...I..." Firia's tears also start coming down.
In their mind, Alex not a machine, a robot, or so gods that can give them all they need. He was a human being like them, who can tired, work hard, and sick. He bear all kind of their uselessness without saying anything.
But...What are they do for him? Are they helping him? The answer is no, they have no power to protect him, they have no power to make pills like him, they also know their cooking just now was horrible. Alex didn't even complain and eat them like they are delicious.
Alex give up so much for them, but...what can they do for him?
After a while crying out, they look at each other.
"Firia"
"Alicia"
Both of them call each other na at the sa ti.
"You go first Alicia"
"I want to be useful for Alex, I don't want to be protected all the ti. I don't want to be a burden for him, I don't want to always walk behind him as he protect , I want to walk beside him, share his burden, endure the world with him" Alicia said with determination in her eyes.
Firia nodded, "I also want to do it too"
"How about we...." They continued with their plan to help Alex.
...
The next day Alex woke up.
His mind feel refreshed, He for sure was really tired yesterday.
"Clack!"
The door opened, Alicia and Firia ca in. Alex was surprised.
"Good morning" Alex greeted them.
"Good morning Alex" Both of them said.
"Let's go back ho" Alicia urged him.
"What is this all about? I thought of relaxing with you two today"
Alicia and Firia was tempted, but they shook their head.
"Let's go back ho first" Alicia urged him again
Alex was surprised with this, the usual Alicia and Firia would accept this. He looked at them curiously, looking if they are possessed.
"Let's go ho" Firia also urged him.
Alex sighed, then he smiled "Sure, let's go ho"

Alicia and Firia already packed up and Alex didn't have many luggage, so they are ready to go back anyti. He want to said goodbye to guild master Bernard first, but the two urged him. He sighed and follow them.
They searched for caravan heading to capital city and found it easily. They set off right away.
The journey only take two days. Firia went to rona house, while Alex and Alicia went back to Rizertia House.
"Father, Mother" Alicia happily hugged them.
"Welco back Alicia" They hugged back. Then turned to Alex.
"Un...uncle...Auntie..." Alex greeted them awkwardly.
They smiled, it seems there are many improvent, before Alex still call them with 'Grand Duke' or 'Madam'. But now he called them with more intimate way.
"Welco back Alex"
"Haha..." Grand duke laughed.
"how is your examination, dear?" Madam asked Alicia.
"I got 2907 points" Alicia said
"What... that much?" Both of them shocked
"I rembered the academy history, the previous score was around eight thousand. But back then, the points was doubled from now. It ans you almost get six thousand points" Grand duke said with astonishnt on his face.
"Our Alicia was really good. Even your eldest sister Lea who hailed as a genius among genius from academy only get 3200 points, that ans she have around six thousand."
"But mother, I stay in the town for the last week." Alicia smiled.
"..." The parent was shocked with this. If she stayed in the town for a week, that ans she can get a few hundred more points. That ans she can surpass Lea.
If they know Alicia cheated, because Alex give her cores, she must be punished.
"But...My points was only too small if you compare them with Alex"
"Too small?" They seem didn't hear right, she said "Too Small" not "Smaller". That ans the points difference was really great. They look at Alex.
"I...I...got 43,480 points" Alex said embarrassedly.
Their jaw dropped to the ground. Even Alicia's jaw also dropped. She knew Alex previous score that around thirty six thousand. But just a few days, it beco that much.
"43,480...if doubled that ans...86,960...That was more than ten tis from the high score" Grand duke stuttered.
The madam still not recovered from her shock. Alicia recovered soon, with more determination filled in her eyes.
"Let us...co in first, let's talk inside...no since it's already late, you all must be tired from your travel, we can talk tomorrow" Grand duke said, he want to hear the experience in the dungeon, but he hesitated and decided to prepare his heart first tonight.
They then went to their respective room.
"System I have 49 tickets right?"
[Yes host]
"Please put all of them in techniques"
[Processing]
[Fencing x1]
[Basic Sword Art x3]
...
[Spear Throwing Art x1]
...
[Electronic Fan Making Manual x1]
He didn't get any different manual from 49 tickets. Only spear throwing art and Electronic Fan making manual. But as soon as he saw this manual he snapped.
"What is this electronic fan making manual! I don't even know how to generate an electricity and this world also didn't know. Are you going to make lightning attribute mage to beco electricity source! If not, even I make them It was useless, Oi..System Answer !"
[Host, system can only generate the gacha randomly]
Even he get this kind of useless thing, he still can't get used to it, even he try to maintain his calm. It was useless, he still snapped in the end
He took a deep breath a few tis to calm his heart. He shook his head,
"Let see the new spear throwing Art first"
[This is an interdiate spear art Host]
"I see" Alex take out the spear throwing art and surprised, this ti the art was in scroll. He make a few try to open the scroll since he was unfamiliar with this kind of scroll. After a while, he manage to open the scroll
The first sentence of the scroll was "As long as the speed was enough, even a tiny peeble can make a crater"
Alex was astonished with this sentence, he imdiately think about teorites that co down to earth, even a small teorite have a possibilities to make a tsunami if it fall on the sea, or crater on the surface.
He look at the rest. The throwing spear art was consist of two types of movent. Power throwing and spin throwing. The power throwing was to emphasize on the power of the thrower to give speed for spear. It include how the stance, hand positioning and etc.
For spin throwing, like it's na it emphasize the power of spin when throwing to give a piercing power to the spear. He look at the stance and finger positioning. He need to spin his hand a bit and his finger need to be agile when he throw, if not the spin wouldn't be great and bring much effect.
Alex want to study them first, but he still have his sanguin sword art. He want to reach the fifth slash first, before studying this art.
After planning what to do, he continue to cultivated until tomorrow.
In the next morning, he was at the back garden. He was practicing his sanguin sword art.
"Fifth Slash!"
'Swoosh'
The sword wave beco a weak wind once again, that ans Alex failed again.
He was trying to figure out, why he can't success the fifth slash.
Alex keep training and training this slash.
anwhile grand duke was watching his training, he was looking at Alex's peculiar sword art. But he felt sothing wrong in it.
"Alex"
"Un..cle"
"I watching you training for a while on there" He pointed at the place he stood earlier. "I watching your sword Art, this is a peculiar sword art. But I felt sothing wrong in it when you trained"
"I also felt sothing wrong, but I can't pointed that out." Alex said confusedly.
"Well, this is my observation earlier. I watch this sword art was giving a powerful sword wave, but sohow this power didn't co from your strength, but from your...." Grand duke pondering.
"..." Alex also thinking about sothing.
"Speed?" Both of them said at the sa ti. They look at each other
"That's right, it's speed" Grand duke said
Alex nodded, "Power co from speed"
"The power co from speed, and your movent was also a bit rough, I think you need to smooth your movent too"
Alex pondering for a mont, "I will try again"
'If the power co from speed, then I must be wrong this whole ti. I use my strength up to fourth slash...But what if I use all my speed from the first slash?' Alex thought.
He relaxed his body, he start to move.
"First Slash" This ti, he make a slash that co from his speed. He didn't forcefully using his strength to make a sword wave.
"Second Slash"
"Third Slash" He use his peak rank 4 speed, and reaction speed to each slash.
"Fourth Slash"
He stopped at the fourth slash. A powerful sword wave co after the movent. Alex look at the sword wave and surprised with the power contained within. The power was at peak rank 4. But what made he most surprised was his movent.
"I...Did I just do the slash easily?"
The grand duke nodded, "It seems our speculation was right"
"Thank you uncle" Alex thank him. If not for grand duke, he won't notice this problem anyti soon.
"Haha...It's alright, you will overco this problem soon enough even without "
