"Alex, it's already the last day of the holiday. Tomorrow the class will start, rest for today."

He surprised with Alex request, "Alright, just come by tomorrow. But don't make it hinder your alchemy practice"

"Yes" Alex went back satisfied.

After he went back, this time Alicia already in the room. She puffed her cheek

"You didn't come back to house this month" she complain.

"I'm sorry Princess" Alex said.

"And you go back with 'Princess', I told you to call me Alicia"

"Ugh...I'm sorry princess"

"Call me Alicia" she once again said

"No can do Princess, We are now in academy, not in Maka town. In this academy, many nobles will see me disrespect you if I call you with your name" Alex explained.

"You....Hmph" She look angrily to Alex, but seems she really can't persuade Alex in this matter.

He look at Princess who angry at him on the bed. Alex sigh and shook his head. He go to his sofa. Now he is wondering, which pill he need to take now. He decided to take bone refining pill first.

He ate the pill, at first he didn't fill anything. But suddenly, there are cracks sound. This is the sound of his bones cracking. There is only one word in his mind 'pain'

"Aahhh!" Alex screamed in pain.

"Alex!" Alicia who was angry, suddenly turned to worried. She never see Alex in pain like this.

"Aahhh!", now she was closer to Alex. She heard cracking sound from inside Alex's body. She become pale, "Alex! Alex!" tears start streaming from her eyes.

"Alex!, you can call me anything. I won't mind it anymore. Don't be like this, don't punish yourself, please!" She misunderstand.

"I...am...fine..Aahh!...prin....cess" Alex tried to explain while still in pain. After half hour the pain start to subside, this half hour was really hurt. Not only Alex whose body is hurt, Alicia heart was hurt too.

Looking at Alex start to calming down, she said while crying "Alex, I'm sorry. I won't demand you anymore. Just please, don't hurt yourself. I will agree whatever you want as long as you are well."

Alex moved even though this is misunderstanding. He tried to sweep her tears even though his body still hurt after refining his bone. "Thank you"

But he decided to clear the misunderstanding, if not she will felt guilty about this. "But I only take the bone refining pill. The pill refine my bones, the process just like before. Breaking and healing again and again to make the bone sturdier."

"And the reason you take the pill is because I angry right?" She asked timidly.

"No... I already decided to take this pill today"

"Eh... this is not because of me angry to you?" She awkwardly said.

"No princess"

She froze, 'so this is only my misunderstanding' she thought. She was embarrassed and unconsciusly hit Alex on the chest with her full power.

"Garh...! my body still hurt" Alex collapse with the Alicia fist. Though Alicia punch not that hurt for him to take, but his body still hurt all over.

"Hmph, Serve you right. How dare you deceive me" She angrily go to bed. Alex can only thought 'When I even deceive you' he want to cry but no tears.

After a while, he decided to take blood and marrow pill. He sat on the sofa once again and eat the pill. The process take a few minutes, and without pain. But he suddenly smell unpleasant scent. He opened his eyes and look at his body. All his body was blacked all over, and the smell was even worse than cow dungs.

"Alex! What is this stinky smell" Alicia immediately looked at Alex because of this smell, but she surprised because she saw 'Black' Alex. but she still can't stand with the smell. "Alex you stink!"

"I... I will go to bath" He ran off to bath hurriedly.

"Haha... Serve you right. How dare you deceive me" She didn't know what happen to Alex. but seeing Alex misfortune she was happy. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，

Alex took a while bathing, in that time Alicia continue to spout many nonsense. After Alex went out of the bath. She was shocked, her jaw dropped to the ground. Because what she saw really unbelievable.

Before his face because of his unhealthy skin, didn't have an attractiveness, but now he become handsome with his new fresh skin. Alex really transformed, like worm become a butterfly. Before was a bit ugly and now become beautiful.

"Princess? Princess? Hello... Princess?" He tried to wake her up but to no avail. He keep it for a few minutes and succeed.

"Ah...Alex.. what..happen...to...you?" she stuttered. She still can't believe what just happen. Alex beforehand was like your average warrior, but now he become prince charming.

"I just eat a pill to expel impurities within my body." Alex still confused, he didn't know what change from his body.

"Where are the pill? Hurry up take it!" She ordered like a tigress.

"I..." Alex scared, he immediately went to grabbed his pill and give it to her. "This is blood and marrow pill, it will..."
