62 Shocking

When the dean looks at the ingredients, he was shocked. He even dropped the paper.

"Teacher?" Alex looks at him confusedly.

"Ah", The dean snapped and pick the paper. "You sure this is a rank 3 pill ingredients?"

"Yes I'm sure" He looks at his teacher, confused.

"Hai..." the dean sighed.

"Why teacher? Is there something wrong?" Alex asked

"Well... How do I put this...The ingredients that you write just now, they were classified as high-rank materials, I mean rank 7 or above materials. Look at this ingredient, this 'Mecalia Herb' is the lowest rank material and it is still classified as a rank 6 material."

"Eh? How can that be?"

"Now, it seems my hypothesis was correct. Each rank of your pill was too different. Your rank 1 pills, all of them have ingredients between rank 3 or below. As for your rank 2 pills, most of their ingredients rank are between rank 4 to rank 6. And now you give me this rank 3 pill recipe, all of the ingredients was rank 7 or above except this Mecalia herb. But this herb was also close to rank 7"

Alex was shocked by the dean revelation. He never thought his pills ingredients were that rare. He never knew about this since all the ingredients were purchased from his teacher.

"I...I...never know about this" Alex said, a bit down.

"Let me check the ingredients list first, maybe I can get it through my friend" The dean then left, leaving Alex stupified.

"System, why are the pills from that manual like this?" He asked his system in his mind.

[Host, have you found it familiar, each rank of your pill are the same as your cultivation stage?]

"My cultivation stage?"

Now the system has mentioned it, he realizes. Its seems his stage, like body tempering stage, was equal to rank 1 to rank 3 (Low, Middle, Peak Phase), Qi gathering stage was equal to rank 4 to rank 6. If he put it according to the trend, that means, Qi Manipulation stage was equal to rank 7 and above. It seems his cultivation holds some secret behind it, there might be a stage above Qi manipulation, which means rank 10 or above.

"System, what is the truth about this cultivation?"

[Host need to find the answer yourself]

"Oi...Can't you give me the answer, don't keep me like this"

[Host need to find the answer yourself]

"..." He was speechless, "System, who are you exactly. The way you talk wasn't like an A.I. Like those back in Earth"

[Host will know all of it when the time has arrived]

"..."

"Then, do you know the answer to my cultivation?"

[Yes]

"..." The system knows the answer, he pondered for a moment "A bit clue?"

[Host, have experience making a rank 3 pill back in the dungeon. If not host pure fire element, host will 100% failed to make that pill. Because of your pure fire element, the heat come from it was greater than those of a normal one. Didn't host notice that the higher the pill rank the higher the temperature needed to make them?]

Alex now noticed that, when he makes rank 1 pills, the temperature of the flame he uses wasn't that high and when he makes rank 2 pills, the temperature was indeed higher.

"..." Alex pondered, it seems his system was held many secrets behind it.

[Yes Host. But Host need to slowly unravel them]

"..." He also forgets that the system can know what his thought. "System, Privacy Please"

[Impossible Host]

He sighed, "You are so mysterious system. If you have a tangible body I might want to dissect you"

[Host, According to your memory, there was a phrase 'The man was more charming when he was mysterious]

"No no no, there are none. It's just a proverb. It wasn't real, the more mysterious he is, the more people around him thought him as a terrorist. And also are you a man? You seem don't have any gender right?"

[I'm woman Host]

"..." Alex was speechless, the system has a gender when it doesn't have a tangible body?

[I have a body Host]

"Then show it to me"

[When the time is right Host]

"Hoax, you don't have any proof for that, so it wasn't real"

[...]

"Now you ignoring me"

Alex sighed, "I will surely unravel all your secret"

[I am looking forward to it Host]

"Sighed"

His teacher comes back.

"Why are you sighing?"

"No...There is nothing. I'm just thinking, it was hard to gather rank 3 pills, and even I get the ingredients, I might not succeed in making them"

"have you try to make a rank 3 pill?"

"Yes, one time. It was pure luck that I manage to succeed. Even then, I get some internal injuries and my mana reserves were empty."

"..." The dean pondered a bit, "Well, let's wait for you to rank up first"

"Yes"

"Then, what do you want to do next"

Alex thought for a while, but he can't come up with something. But something comes to his mind,

"Teacher, Tomorrow, the he..." He hesitated.

"He..?" Seeing Alex hesitated, he pondered with 'The he...". suddenly his eyes brightened. ?He smiled to Alex gently "Don't worry Alex, Whatever you do I will always support you"

Alex was surprised, "Thank you teacher"

"Go back first"

"Yes" Alex left.

The Dean frowned, he also know the concerning matter between Alex and The hero. His heart was pained when he heard of this from the king. Alex was a quiet person, but behind his silence, There is an inferiority complex. He didn't know what happened in Alex's past, but he sure, there is some connection of it with the hero. He wants to make him become more confient, but Alex can only do this alone, if not he will become more reliant and reliant. So the only thing he can do was to silently support him.

...

When Alex comes back to his room, he saw Firia chatting with Alicia in the room. Her relationship with Alicia seems better.

"Firia?" Alex was surprised seeing her in his room.

"Alex" She stood up and greet him.

Alex smiled at her. "You have worked hard in the dungeon"

"Hehe" Firia was happy as well as embarrassed. Alicia pouted.

"I'm just want to greet you. Now, I'm done. I will go back, See you soon" Firia said.

"I will see you off" Alex said.

"It's alright" But Firia shrugged, She looks at Alicia.

"I will see you off then" Alicia smiled, then she went with Firia. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，

Actually, Firia seems concerned with Alex because of the hero. But after, hearing the story from Alicia. She decided to keep it herself.

Alex can only stand there stupified, then he shook his head and sat on his beloved sofa and cultivate again.

...

In the morning, Alex, as usual, woke Alicia up and meet up with Firia, then go to class. But because Alex felt something wrong, he brings his sword and Alicia bring her staff. But somehow, the class was empty. The three of them were surprised. But suddenly, Viola comes to them from outside the class.

"Ah"

The three of them look at the voice. They saw Viola.

"Miss Viola, why is the class empty?"

"Just now, The hero and his companion place in our class. But then from the start, he starts provoked everyone in the class, Joshua can't stand it and challenge him. Now all the people here went to the arena. And also the dean wants you to meet him." Viola said to Alex.

Alex pondered a bit, he nodded. "I will meet him now"

"Alex"

Alex looks at Alicia who called him.

"We will go to the arena. We can't let them do things like this"

Alex was surprised. He sighed, "Alright"

Then Alicia and Firia along with Viola went to the arena, while Alex goes to his teacher.

"Teacher"

"Haiz, Alex. What are those things from Zircodina doing. Just the first day and in the morning as well, they already pick on our academy" The dean was so angry, they don't consider those troublesome hero and his companion as a human.

"Teacher" Alex was surprised by his reaction "Are there no teachers who stop them?"

"Even the teacher comes, they will be stopped by the hero guardian." He sighed, "To think they even send a rank 8 fighter as a guardian"

"Then teacher going to stop them?"

"No"

Alex was shocked, considering his earlier reaction, Alex thought he will stop them, but he knows very soon the dean spoke his next words.

"I won't be the one who stopped them. I will only stop their guardian. You are the one who will stop them, of course, you are free to humiliate them. Well, it will be a bit bad if you kill them here. They will join up forces with the Holy kingdom and attack us. Even though We can win them, we won't escape unscathed

If that time the demon start launch attack on us. We humans will be wiped out. Well if you really want to kill them, that's also fine with me. Whatever your choice, your teacher will support you"

"Don't worry teacher, I won't be that impatient. Even if I killed them, if that resulting in our human race in peril then I don't want that. We also didn't have any hatred that runs through generations. So waiting a bit is also fine."

The dean nodded, "But make sure they were humiliated this time. If they humiliated, they will come back to their home sooner, and it will be better since I don't need to deal with them anymore here"

Alex nodded, "Teacher, is there any other rank 8 beside you in our academy?"

"There is, he is our principal. But he went to the demi-human territory, this is his second year. He said he will be back after he finished his third year there"

"Actually, where are all of our rank 8 fighter teacher?" Alex was curious about this.

"Rank 8? I and principal here in the academy. Yours soon to be grandfather-in-law was also a rank 8 too, but he lives in seclusion and only went out if the kingdom in peril or some important situation. We also have four dukes. West, east, north, and south dukes, each of them was rank 8 fighters. The other is our Mashall and his vice general. And the last is the captain of the royal guard"

Alex nodded, "Then..."

But before he finished his sentence, the door was opened.

"Bam!"

"It's terrible, Alicia was fighting the archmage, the sage, and Zircodina Princess on the arena"
