91 Another Day
When he arrived in front of his room. He silently opened the door since Alicia might already sleep at this ti. But he was shocked. When he opened the door, Alicia still practicing with her magic. She still hasn't noticed him.
She tried to improve her control over her ice magic. Sotis the ice burst out, sotis its lts, sotis the ice not even ford. She tries it again and again.
Alex who on the side was smiling bitterly. He was happy and moved by her action but at the sa ti, he felt bitter for not noticing this faster. He admitted when he trained Firia in Alchemy, he sohow neglected her at that ti. He walked toward her.
Hearing the footsteps, Alicia turned to her head to the side. Alex was approaching her, she said embarrassedly while scratching her cheek "Al-Alex, this...this is... I just don't want to be outdone. When I know that Firia practicing the Alchemy, I don't want to be outdone by her. I don't know what I can do, I can't practice Alchemy like her because of my elent. The only thing I can think of is improving my magic"
"I'm sorry"
"Why..."
Before Alicia finished her words, he hugged her. Alicia who was still in shock with the sudden hug, can't think for anything. After a mont, she recovered and hug him back.
After hugging for a while, they were separated. Alex then took out two books and give them it Alicia.
"This is?" Alicia took the two books from Alex. The title for the first book is 'Frozen World' and the second is 'Sky Movent'. When she looked at the second book, she knows this must be so kind of movent art. But the first one with the title of 'Frozen World', she confused. Is this so kind of storybook for Ice users? She thought "This is a storybook?"
Alex eyes widened, he was shocked, how can she arrived at that conclusion. He hurriedly retorted her "No!"
Alicia giggled, "Of course it is not. I'm just joking"
Alex sighed, "This is an Ice Art, You can try to look at the content, your elent is Ice so I thought this art will suit you very well. While the other is a movent technique. It was my current movent technique. There are five types of steps in that book, they are Immovable Step, Fleeting Step, Heavy Step, Flash Step, and Sky Step. Though the Immovable Step and Heavy Step won't be that much useful for you. The Fleeting Step and Flash Step might be very useful since they are used for dodging and speed respectively especially the Flash Step, it can boost your speed a few tis when mastered. You can bombard your enemy when doing that if you are used to that. And the last is Sky step, you can step on the air or in the water like stepping on the ground."
Alicia was very shocked by Alex's explanation, she never heard this kind of overpowered technique. This kind of technique might very well beco a national treasure level. ?Then she picked the second one, the 'Frozen World'. She browse it quickly. She was shocked by the technique if what is written is true. It was basically a step by step guide improvent for Ice mage along with its magic. In the last section, they even can unleash the power of ice like those in high rank (7-9) while in the middle rank (4-6). Of course, She needs to master this technique first. After she finished browse it, she looked at Alex with an astonished face.
"Do you like it?" Alex smiled.
"Are you sure giving these two techniques?"
"Yes, is there any problem with that?" Alex was still clueless about what she implied.
"Do you not know what kind of outrageous techniques these two books are?"
Alex tilted his head in confusion. But he suddenly looked down, a bit sad "Why? Is there sothing wrong with the content of these two books?"
"Sothing wrong with the content you say?" Alicia's face becos dark.
Alex was surprised by Alicia's exaggerated reaction. He now starts doubting the books. He looks down.
"These two techniques were very powerful. They might be regarded as a national treasure level techniques... no, even the palace didn't have this kind of overpowered techniques, and you give it to just like that."
"Oh!" He now relieved, he thought there would be so mistake in the contents. After all, the techniques were originally from the system, not this world (?), probably. But the problems all this ti were sothing insignificant like that. "I don't mind about it, If the book can help you reach what you want, I am satisfied with that. Even If I get sothing more powerful than those two books, I will also give it to you if they can help you with your goal"
Alicia's eyes widened, she blushed. She muttered in low voice because of the embarrassnt "Thank you"
"That's right, how about you rest first. You can try to learn them tomorrow"
"Okay. Don't worry about the techniques, I will defend its secret with my life" She said that as she walked toward the bed.
"Oi! It's fine to let out the secret if it can save your life"
"Yes Yes" She casually said, she didn't pay attention to Alex's last remark. She laid down on her bed while still hugging the two books that Alex gave just now with a big smile on her face.
Alex can only shook his head and sat on the sofa again.
"Oh right, I haven't checked all the techniques I got from System. I was too focused on 'Frozen World'. Let check it first. System, Any logs for the reward before?"
The system didn't say anything. It was only showed him a list of the techniques he got before.
[Basic Sword Art x2]
[Fencing x3]
...
[Archery Manual]
The techniques were nurous. But there is one thing that caught his eyes.
[Luminous Spear Techinque]
Now he got a close-ranged spear technique. He already had a long-ranged spear technique which is the 'Spear Throwing Art' but he still needs a close-ranged one. After all, what use the spear in his hand if he doesn't use it and only wait to throw it. the enemy won't let you do that. With this Luminous Spear Technique, he got a balance for combat.
There are techniques for other elents, like 'Gushing Wind Art' or 'Shadow Drive'. But he didn't care about them, after all, for what use are those techniques. There are no people around him with Wind or Shadow elent. Wait... The grand duke has wind elent. When he rembered that, he shook his head. The grand duke must have a greater technique. He arrived at that conclusion because the system said that this technique was only a Common Rank Technique.
After looking at the list for the last ti. Alex then took out the 'Luminous Spear Technique'.
This 'Luminous Spear Technique' was emphasized with its speed. Contrary to his Sanguin Sword Art that focused on power. This spear technique target is to catch the enemy off guard with its speed and movent.
He put off the book for a bit. He checked at Alicia, he sat down at the edge of the bed. He looked at Alicia who sleeping while hugging the two books he gave earlier. He let out a little smile. He looked at her cute sleeping face for a mont. When he wanted to go back to cultivate, he hesitated.
'Maybe a little longer'
He looked at Alicia's cute face, he can't be bored with this cute tranquil face.
"Mmm, Alex... I will get stronger, I want to stay together with you, Firia, and Sherry to the end of ti" Maybe because she noticed Alex presence, she muttered that.
Alex looked at her with a surprised look. He senses that Alicia was still sleeping. He smiled gently. "Yes, I promised"
He continued looking at her and unknowingly fell asleep too.

In the next morning,
Alex slowly opened his eyes. He still fuzzy about what happened yesterday. He seems to doze off when watching Alicia. His eyes imdiately went wide. He looked around him, he was on the bed. After confirming he was on the bed, he imdiately stood up. But he failed, there is a hand holding him back. He looked at the owner of the hand. Of course, he saw Alicia still sleeping beside him. But because of his movent, she wakes up. The mont their eyes et, her brain froze. She saw Alex on the bed and she still hugging him. Her face becos red imdiately. Alex too used all his brainpower to think up an excuse. never in his thought that Alicia actually misunderstand here.
Alicia thought that she invited him in her sleep. She sohow recalled a bit of her dream yesterday. In her dream, she was in her first-night marriage with Alex. in the scene, she hugs him on the bed as she said 'Alex... I will get stronger, I want to stay together with you, Firia, and Sherry to the end of ti'. In reality, she didn't finish her words.
In her dream, she was hugging him in their marriage chamber. She looked at Alex who wears a tuxedo. This was the happiest day of her life. When they looked at each other, she said. "Alex, I will get stronger, I want to stay together with you, Firia, and Sherry to the end of ti. We will be together, teaching our kids, watching them growing up."
Alex smiled at her, she slowly closed her eyes and they kissed. The kissed beco another, and those led a passionate night. At that ti she woke up and found that she embraced him.
At this mont, she was too embarrassed. Her face becos redder than a tomato as she imdiately turned her head to the side, afraid of eye contact with him.
On contrary to her, What Alex perceived from her action was an earthquake. He thought that She must hate him for doing this. Looked at her red face, that must be a pent up anger. He braced himself.
"Alicia, This... I'm sorry" After all the thinking he did. He can only let out a sorry from his mouth
When Alex opened his mouth, she was too shocked. She thought that Alex must think her as an indecent woman, she instinctively said "No, I'm also very sorry...for that dream"
She muttered at a very low voice at the end. But Alex still heard what she said.
"Eh? Dream?"
