Ch 18 – Mission
"Hey, Yuno. Since when did I teach you to kneel in front of your opponent."
"I..." Yuno opened his mouth to say something.
"It seems you're slacking your training, huh? Well, let's talk later." Alex walked from behind him and stood in front of him. "Are you the one who hurt my brother?"
"And what if I'm?" Mars said in his usual tone. He created several jewel clones in an instant.
'Crystal Creation Magic: Army of Talos Puppets!'
"Wha...!" Klaus gasped. "He made so many at the same time?!"
"Mimosa..." Noelle looked at Mimosa with concern.
"I am ashamed to be seen like this... You were right, Noelle. I did mess up big time." Mimosa slightly furrowed her brows from the pain as she healed herself.
"Yeah, you were always like this. That's why... This time, I'm going to protect you." Noelle used her water creation magic to form a water barrier around Mimosa.
"Noelle..." Mimosa broke out into a beautiful smile.
Alex stared at Mars and said in an unusually cold voice. "Hmm, you sure had some guts for hurting my brother."
The voice sounded so cold that it sent shivers to everyone who heard it. Even Klaus, Luck, Noelle, and Mimosa felt a chill run down their spine.
'What?... What's this pressure? It's not magic! But I have never felt something like that before.' Klaus's legs trembled as he fell on his butt.
For the first time, Mars's expression changed as he furrowed his brows. He could feel that his opponent didn't have high magic but his sense was giving him danger warnings.
Alex's figure blurred as he disappeared from his spot.
'Where did he go?' Mars was surprised as he was unable to keep up with his movements.
Suddenly, a powerful force landed on his face and the only thing that came into his view before losing consciousness was the roof of the dungeon.
Asta grabbed Mars by his face and slammed him to the ground, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the floor.
"What the?..."
"Oh my, he's so fast!"
"Now, I really want to fight him."
"Just how... how could a commenter like him have such power?..."
Alex ignored Klaus's harsh comment and said. "Hey four-eyes, stop daydreaming and use magic to bind him."
Klaus was startled by his words and immediately used his steel magic to create a steel coffin to bind Mars.
"Alright then, let's see what this treasure vault holds." Alex nodded and walked over to the big gate, back to his usual self.
"Hmph! Since we got here first, we won our little bet, but...! I'll allow you to enter the treasure room first!" Klaus pushed up his glasses and said in a low voice.
'How are we supposed to get in?' Klaus's face revealed his thoughts as he stared at the huge gate.
But before anyone reacts, two slashes hit the gate forming a path for everyone.
A golden light flashed from inside, making it difficult for them to see inside.
When the light faded a light, a big room filled with gold, weapons, scrolls, and artifacts came into their view.
Alex ignored everything as there was something more important present inside this dungeon that he wanted. He found the Demon-Dweller with Nero's help before paying attention to others.
Yuno found the scroll for the Wind Spirit, Slyph.
Just as both of them received some new kind of spells in their grimoire, the dungeon started falling.
"Hey, look out." Luck shouted as a huge stone fell on Noelle and Mimosa.
*Whoosh*
A flying slash cut the falling stone in two just in time.
"It's not safe here. Let's get out." Alex shouted at them. "Yuno, take everyone out of here."
"But what about you?" Yuno asked with concern.
"Don't worry. I'll be just behind you." Alex said with a confident smile.
Yuno nodded and summoned a little boat made of wind to carry everyone.
Just as everyone left, Alex sighed and said loudly. "You guys take him and leave from the right side. Straight ahead, then turn right, then left and you'll be out."
He then stored the gold and remaining items inside his inventory before leaving the dungeon too.
He heard a small voice when he was leaving. "You're interesting little fellow. Thank you!"
When he came out, he saw Klaus hugging Yuno and apologizing for his rude behavior before.
The group said farewell to each other before back to their respective squads' headquarters.
...
A day after the dungeon incident. Alex went to his normal life in the meantime, training as always.
Luck challenged him once and got his ass beaten pretty badly. After that, no one dared to piss off the newcomer of the squad.
And when Alex asked them to not disturb him during his training, everyone agreed, well except Yami.
Alex had made a habit of daily doing exercises despite Eden not giving out the quests anymore.
He was training in the forest when he perceived the aura of a person approaching in his direction.
Normally, he had asked everyone in the Black Bulls to not disturb him while he was training so he stopped his training and looked at the incoming person.
After a few seconds, a silver-haired beauty appeared in his view, looking somewhat nervous from her expression.
"Hmm, what brings you here, Miss Royalty?" Alex asked.
"Well..." Noelle nervously fidgeted with her fingers.
Alex stared at her and said. "You know I don't have the entire day, right?"
"Uh?... this... actually... I..." She stuttered even more.
Alex sighed and walked over, standing a few feet away from her, hitting her forehead with a flick.
"Look, if you want to ask me to train you then don't. What you lack is not training but confidence and self-control! And that's something only you can achieve it."
Noelle looked down as she grabbed the corner of her dress. "But I... I can't..."
Alex stared at her for a few seconds and sighed. "Fine. I'll help you. But you will do whatever I tell you, okay?"
"Yes." Noelle nodded her head with an extremely serious expression.
Alex had no idea why she asked him but since she wanted his help, he would try his best. But it didn't mean he was being gentle or anything, he just thought that this way was more effective to tease her than the direct approach.
Alex nodded his head and returned to his position. "Now then, you will attack me with your water magic. And every time you miss, I'll punish you by spanking your butt. So, if you want to improve then hit me with everything you got. We'll go with ten times each. So begin!"
