The crowd finally reacted after they saw Alex walking leisurely towards the winner spoils. It was now they became aware that Alex won, cheers erupted.
Thinking about now, it was a 1 Vs 4 fight. Aside from that, it was E Rank against a novice adventurer who had registered two weeks ago. Well, this novice adventurer completed a big quest recently, killing thirty goblins and a rare species in the process, still fighting against a monster was different from fighting against a human.
If you thought about it normally, the winner of the fight was obvious. However, the actual result was the rookie shutting out the four Rank Adventurers (Three were E Rank, Bolt and the Bowman got promoted recently) in a clean sweep.
Of course, there were various reasons why Alex won, half the watchers were convinced that Alex was strong and he deserved his promotion to D Rank while the other half were unbelieving thinking that he used his strange movement skill at the beginning to take care of the other two at the rear thus destabilizing the formation established by the four.
Some people understood, for Alex to kill thirty goblins and a rare species he must have some ability. As for the unbelieving people, according to them without his strange movement skill, Alex couldn't have won. Those who think like that were the one envying Alex's skill, they had forgotten that his throwing skill was already at the Master level.
(A/N: Skills whose level reached 5 are considered Master Level)
''The little guy has some skill, even his throwing knife skill level is at least Level 4 or fast. No wonder he could jump from F to D after only two weeks. Sigh, I gotta work hard and get promoted soon, or else these young un's will overtake me.''
Gale the B Rank Adventurer said before glancing at Alex as if trying to memorize the young man who may soon be at the same Rank as him or above him. Even though it was the first time he saw the young man, Gale had the feeling that this young man was special, someone who was destined to do great things. Gale was sure that his assumption was not wrong especially after seeing that the mysterious Leena seemed interested in the boy. Her eyes were fixed on the boy since the start as though she was evaluating him. Shaking his head Gale turned and left.
Leena observed the retreating Gale and smiled. She looked at Alex who was going toward the winner spoils with a smile, she cursed him for not being patient. Just after finishing the four, he went towards the rewards without waiting for her to announce who was the victor.
Sighing she announced ''The duel comes to an end with Alex being the winner. As both parties agreed upon, everything except what the four are wearing will be given to Alex.''
Saying this she waved her hand the four weapons were added on top of other rewards.
Alex the rewards, firstly, he re-quipped the fake space ring on his right arm, then he put his money bag back into his item box (The onlookers will think that he put it inside his fake space ring), he took the bags of gold that the other four had bet and stored it into the Item box.
(I will invite unnecessary troubles if I count the money in front of so many people, I'll confirm how much there is when I get to the inn later.)
Alex thought while he took the two-handed sword, the two daggers, the bow, and lastly the battle-ax that was lying on the ground and stored them into a fake space ring (Item box).
A person in the crowd clicked his tongue. When Alex heard it, he looked at the person who had clicked his tongue and recalled who he was, this guy often hangs with Diaz and his men. Alex paid him no heed as he headed back to the Adventurer guild disregarding the curious gazes of the spectators. Alex was followed by Gracier who was smiling after congratulating her Big brother for his swift victory, Eleonora also followed the duo, she seemed lost in thoughts.
Once inside the guild, Leena was smiling earlier stopped smiling, and glared at Alex as she said ''So, little boy care to explain what you have done?"
Shrugging his shoulders Alex answered as if he didn't know what Leena was talking about.
''I don't know what you are talking about.''
''Heh! You want to play it like that. I see let's play then.''
Hearing Leena's words Alex had a bad premonition and before he could retreat he felt a soft Wind caressing his body before all his weapons disappeared. Looking up he saw his weapons in Leena's hands, the latter was playing with them.
''Nice weapon, I think I'll keep them in my collection. Even if they are not in part with my other collected weapons they are better than nothing.'' Leena said while grinning, she was still playing with the knives, especially Black Betties (The throwing knives).
Alex's mouth twitched, sighing he finally apologized ''Sorry Leena. I shouldn't have tricked you. My bad, I'm truly sorry. I did it because I was sure that I could win and I won.''
''Apology accepted, for this kind of thing you should inform me beforehand. I don't like being kept in the dark until the last moment. Well, I'm still a little bit angry, think about something that can soothe my anger. I'm all ears.'' Leena said and stared at Alex waiting for what kind of solution he would bring out.
''Let's go on date then.'' Alex blurted out, his voice was a little bit loud, therefore the other Adventurers around them heard it.
''What the Rookie is inviting our Goddess to go on date with him?" an adventurer A asked.
''Yeah, it was as you heard it. What gut, the boy is sure full of himself. He became full of himself after hearing that he would get promoted and especially now that he beat Diaz and his crew. Don't get full of yourself, there is no way our Goddess will accept a date with you.'' another said, the other Adventurers laughed as if ridiculing Alex.
Unfazed Alex looked at Leena waiting for her answer, Leena smiled sweetly and said ''Sure why not.''
Silence, the whole guild became silent before it became noisier.
''What? Our Goddess accepted?" a scarred Adventurer asked not believing.
''Fuck, the Rookie sure lucky. To think that our Goddess who never accepted a date before would accept when he asked. What lucky man.'' another one said.
The commotion continued, meanwhile, Alex and Gracier were talking about what kind of quest they should take.
Finally, Eleonora who hadn't talked since the end of the match spoke ''It's decided, Alex, let's go on a quest together. You not bad, let this Big sister show you a few things. I'll train you. I-''
''I refuse'' Alex cut her off and said.
''What? Why did you refuse? It's not a bad thing. Don't worry, it will be fun I promise.'' Eleonora said refusing to admit defeat.
''I still refuse'' Alex's answer was still the same.
Pouting Eleonora still insisted, seeing that Alex was still refusing after numerous attempts, she stopped insisting but she still asked ''Why did you refuse? Can you please tell the reason why you refused?''
Sighing Alex decided to explain to her why he refused her invitation, well he wasn't going to tell her the real, though.
''I can't, simply because I promised my little sister to help her grind some levels. I'm sure she won't be able to do that if we were to follow you. I need to concentrate on her leveling up, forgetting everything else.''
''I see, too bad then. Well, I won't stop asking, though. You may refuse today because of something, but tomorrow you won't, even if you still refuse, I'll continue asking until you accept. I'm tenacious after all. If I decide on something, I will always follow it no matter what. Okay, let stop for today. See you, who knows we may be assigned to the same group for the test.''
Leaving behind these words Eleonora left not selecting any quest or she may have already selected one.
Alex shook his head before asking Leena a question ''Leena where can I buy a wyvern's heart? I need it. It's urgent.''
Alex asked in a low voice, he doesn't want to draw too much attention to himself more than what he already had.
Leena observed Alex before answering in low voice in turn ''It will be hard but you can buy it if know the right people for this kind of thing. Well, the problem is that it's costly.''
''How much?" Alex asked hoping that the price won't be too high.
''Let's see, at least you need a dozen of White gold coins to be able to afford one,'' Leena answered nonchalantly.
''What? That costly? I think I'll postpone it for now. I thought it would only cost 2 or 3 White gold coins.'' Alex said dejectedly.
Rolling her eyes at his words Leena didn't say anything. Gracier who was observing the two finally spoke, ''Big brother, what did you need a wyvern's heart for?"
Patting her head Alex answered ''I need it for something urgent. I'll tell you later. Sigh! I was hoping that I could buy it and use it before the start of the test who will be taking place on Zilya's Mountain. Guess, it is impossible after all.''
''Well, you just need to have at least fifteen White gold coins and you will have your wyvern's heart today if you want it,'' Leena said.
''And where would I get that amount of money before we start the test?" Alex asked back.
Shrugging her shoulders Leena answered while playing with Gracier's hair.
''Well, work hard, or do you want me to lend you some? Be aware that the interest will be high.''
''No need. I'll think about something myself. Gracier Let's go I've already selected the quest we will be doing today.''
Alex said before ripping the quest from the quest board. Gracier looked apologetically at Leena before following Alex as they left the guild.
Watching the two leave, especially Alex who had refused her help, Leena smiled, she was serious when she talked about lending Alex some money, yet he refused. Leena smiled mysteriously after thinking about something.
