Gacha Sovereign

35 Rematch

Outside of the forest. the dean was the one who in charge of supervising him. When Alex managed to kill many rank 2 to rank 3 monsters, he smiles satisfied. He dismissed other teachers watching Alex. He managed to make Alex so-called 'space element' not be seen by others.

He suddenly worried when Alex was surrounded by twenty wolves, and one of them is rank 4 wolf. Though Alex has a rank 4 prowess, Alex still new to rank 4. He restrains himself watching Alex was bitten and blown away by the wolf. He relieved when Alex manage to kill all of them.

When he look a rank 5 bear coming to him, he wanted to charge at that bear and killed it. but he managed to restrain himself, because if he comes to Alex rescue just now. Alex will be out of this grade ranking immediately. He didn't want to ruin Alex's chance.

He saw Alex's hand was incapacitated, he wanted to whack that bear to death.

"Alex... run away" he muttered.

When the bear broke Alex's rib. His heart feels broken. He already treats Alex like his son. He doesn't have any family in this world. so when Alex come as his student, he was happy. After knowing Alex for a month, he feels gratified. From then he treated him like family. So watching Alex like this broke his heart.

"Alex.. just run away" A few tears formed on the corner of his eyes. Just as he wants to rush over there to interfere. He surprised seeing Alex stand up and manage to dodge the bear's charge completely.

He even more shocked when Alex fused his sword with magic. He looked at that tyrannical Flame sword wave, he felt the element in his body got suppressed a little.

"This must be the power of pure fire element... no Absolute Flame"

He knows now, why the legend said the other name of the pure fire element, is Absolute Flame.

Seeing Alex manage to do this in his condition. This must be the so-called 'turning misfortune to blessing' he thought.

He gave a relieved sigh.

--

In the forest, Alex managed to get a safe spot for him. This limestone cave wasn't big but was enough for him since the most priority to him was a safe place.

He immediately took out the restoration pills. He eats one pill, after a few hours. His body managed to recover a little, so he took another pill. He did this again and again. When the dean refining restoration pills. He managed to make 120 peak-grade pills. He gave a third to Alex. Alex give 15 pills to Alicia and 5 to Firia.

He just managed to recover after a week. Rank 1 restoration pills don't have many effects in his condition so he need 1 week to recover.

"There are still two days before this end."

He used one day to adjust and familiarize himself with his new stage.

The next day arrived, this is the last day for grade ranking. He got out of the cave. He searched looking at the previous bear. After a few hours, he didn't manage to see the bear. So he tried his luck, inside the core forest, after a few more hours searching he found it.

"Found him"

He went in front of the bear.

"Hehe... a week ago you give me a beating. I will have my revenge now"

"Roar..!" The bear now only has one hand, as Alex managed to cut his hand a week ago.

Alex tried to recreate what he did a week ago. He channels his mana to his sword and he slashes them.

A flame sword wave flying to the bear. The bear raised his hand to guard it.

'boom' the flame sword wave exploded when it reached the bear. After the fog cleared away, Alex saw the bear didn't have any wound.

Though Alex didn't put the whole of his qi in that attack. he thinks it is still enough to injure that bear. But what he didn't know is after fighting Alex, the bear managed to breakthrough his strength.

The bear charged at him, Alex dodge completely. But the bear didn't stop, he immediately changes his direction to Alex and charges him again. Alex didn't manage to dodge this time. The bear paw almost reached him. So he put his hand to guard the bear's attack.

Alex was blown away, destroying a few trees in his path. He crashed on the big tree. He spurted blood.

He immediately examined his body.

"The hand still usable, only internal injury"

He wiped the blood in his mouth. He channels the mana to his sword again. This time he channels more qi.

'Flame Sword Wave'

This time, the wave managed to wound the bear. But the wound was too swallow.

"Tch... Too swallow"

He underestimated this bear. After fighting for an hour, his stamina almost empty. He looked at the bear who also exhausted.

The bear release another attack. Alex has blown once again because of this attack. this time his left hand was incapacitated.

"I...Will I lose again to him?" Alex muttered. "No!" He raised his sword, the bear charged at him once again. He closed his eyes.

"With my sword in my hand. If I don't want to cut, even the most fragile leaf won't be cut. If I want to cut something, even heaven and earth won't be spared"

He swings down his sword. "Die!"

This time the bear was cut to two. He managed to kill the bear, he leaned to the tree. He let out a long sigh. This time he almost died because he underestimated his opponent. This lesson was heavy for him. He tried to comprehend what just he did.

The dean outside the forest was too shocked seeing the scene. He was shocked when he sees Alex manage to kill that bear, but what shocked him the most is the method Alex used. He was familiar with that.

'sword intent'

There are many people proficient in the way of the sword. But the elite of the elite, but among them have something in common. That was their job become Sword Saint. And the minimum requirement for this job is 'Sword Intent'. He decided to inform the king, he wanted to make him go another few days without good sleep.

One thing the dean missed, if he looked at the sky he will notice a small cut appeared in the sky. This was never happen from the previous sword saint. Only a rank 7 or above can notice this small cut. But there was no one who saw this. Because the one who monitored Alex was only the dean.

A few more hours after this scene, one hour before the sunset, the grade ranking ended.

"The grade ranking was over!" The dean announced, with his power as a rank 8 channeling his mana to his voice. Every student heard this. Many students started to go out of the forest.

Alex too, goes out from the forest.

Outside the forest, there is space to list the participant. Around 50 percent of the student didn't even manage to kill the monster but already rescued by the teachers. So this student will be expelled.

"Name?" the administrative teacher asked the student name.

"Muga"

The teacher nod, "twenty rank 0 monsters and one rank 1 monster, total 22 points"

This student result was a bit low from the average last year.

"Joshua" this time Joshua from first grade S-class. He arrogantly said. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，

"Fifty rank 0, one hundred fifty-three rank 1 and forty rank 2, and three rank 3 monsters, total 540 points"

"Woah..." The crowd was astonished.

"Hmph" He arrogantly left.

The score for rank 0 monster is 1 point, for rank 1 is 2 points, for rank 2 is 4 points, for rank 3 is 8, for rank 4 is 20 and for rank 5 is 100. Even grade 3 students, a rank 5 among them was genius among genius like Princess Mea manage to kill rank 5 monsters.

The scoring was continued.

Alex went out of the forest, he tried to search for Alicia. Suddenly he heard a sound from his back.

"Alex"

He turned back seeing Alicia coming to him. "Princess"

"How do you do?" She worried. Alex states just now like a worn-out beggar. His appearance was in a sorry state.

"I'm fine Princess, just a bit exhausted. I will fine again after resting" he assured her.

"That's good then" she relieved.

Suddenly someone comes, the one who comes was a young man. His face was somewhat handsome, but the most noticeable Alex can be seen was this person is arrogant.

"So, you are Alex. The one in princess Alicia mouth. You are only so-so, just scram from here".

Alex confused, he never offended him but he comes to him and scrams him away. he frowned.

This young man is Cornel Jiavika, a son of marquis. He formed a party with Alicia and Mia in the forest. they make a group of five. Originally he was pursuing Princess Mia, but every time he got close to her, he only get a cold glaze from her. When she sees Alicia, he was astonished by her beauty. And after he sees her performance, he was mesmerized by her so he gives up on pursuing Mia and he thought to pursue Alicia right now. He was known as a genius comparable to Princess Mia. He is now a rank 3 but in this year he might become a rank 4 and for the last year he has the potential to become a rank 5.

This is what makes him arrogant, and seeing Alicia was gentle with Alex he hates Alex. When he tried to approach Alicia in the forest. Alicia only gives him a cold shoulder.

Alex knows after this, he realized since Cornel mentioned Alicia in his mouth. That means he was captivated by her.

"Who do you think you are" Alicia shouted, She glare at Cornel hatefully.

"Princess, you need to maintain your image. As noble as you princess, can't be together with a commoner like him. But I am marquis Jiavika first son, soon enough I will become a marquis after succeeding my father position."

"Scram" She shouted.

"Princ..." Cornel shocked.

"Scram!" She shouted again.

"I..." Cornel turned to Alex "You commoner won't have a good result. I will beat you in the ranking. So princess Alicia will know you are just cannon fodder and look at me"

"..." Alex only silent.

"Alex..."

The atmosphere around them become awkward once again. The incident come once again, where Alex was belittled because he was a commoner.

Alex sigh, he looked at Alicia and shook his head. "Let's go to register our name"

Hearing Alex's response, she relieved. She followed Alex.

They waited for a while. This time is Cornel's turn. Before he going he glared hatefully to Alex. "Look my result, and you will know. You are not qualified to stand beside princess Alicia"

"Cornel Jiavika"

"Rank 0 thirty, rank 1 one hundred one, rank 2 two hundred twenty-four, rank 3 forty, and rank 4 two. Total points are 1488 points"

"Woah..."

The crowds were astonished by these points. Even the teacher who announced it was surprised too.

"Hmph" He turned to Alex. "Look at that, you are not qualified."

Alex only shake his head, "Princess, it's your turn"

Alicia nod, "Alicia"

"Rank 0 fifty-three, rank 1 one hundred twenty, rank 2 two hundred twenty, rank 3 seventeen. Total points are 1309 points"

"Woah.."

The crowd was even more astonished. They know Alicia is a princess, but what shocked them is Alicia now is the First-grade student.

But what they didn't know. If she didn't receive Alex pills and spiritual liquids. She won't be able to receive this kind of result. She was thankful to Alex.

"Congratulations to you Princess Alicia" The teacher said politely.

"Thank you" She smiled. And she left.

This time was Alex. Alicia looked at him worriedly. Cornel looked at him with contempt, he snorted.

"Alexander"

"Rank 0 thirty, rank 1 fifty, rank 2 two hundred eleven, rank 3 one hundred thirty-three, rank 4 one, rank.." before he finished announce Alex point, he was shocked. He immediately stood up wanting a confirmation. But the dean comes in.

"That is true, I'm the one personally saw him kill it." The dean confirmed and left.

"Ra..nk 5 one"

"What?" The crowd shocked. Even Alicia jaw dropped so much. Only Cornel was pale, he never wanted to believe this kind result.

"To..tal points.. are ..2158 points"

There is only silence when they hear Alex's score. They are speechless with this score. Since Alex was the last student the ranking was announced.
