"Then, I will explain what I know first. Well, it was what I get from Master, though. She said you were a genius that can learn a Sword Art just by looking at others. And she said we were sold off by the Sect Master to you" Song Yu said the last part to test Alex in this part.
Alex surprised a bit by that. There were two things that might incite the sect master to do so. First, his so-called 'Master'. And the second was his Seven Stars Cut. For his Seven Stars Cut, they can just force him to say it to them. That's why Alex speculated that the Sect Master still wary the presence of his 'Master' or Conn might not explain it clearly because of the Heavenly Oath, resulting in the birth of misunderstanding. That misunderstanding became another misunderstanding, and so on. Well, it was convenient for him since it might protect him for the time being. The more mysterious he was, the more people will refrain from making trouble for him. He didn't mind if Outer Disciple or Inner Disciple make trouble to him since he had Putri and Song Yu for now. And maybe the core disciple too.
As for the higher up, he didn't know how far his 'Misunderstanding' had spread. But the more it spread, the more convenient.
On the contrary, Song Yu completely misunderstood his silence. She thought Alex was the same as other males who wanted her because she was pretty and the like. So she said seductively to test him further, "Then, Do you want me to service you?"
Alex knew her intention. He knew that she didn't know about his 'background'. And there was no way a Martial Lord like her, wanted to be like that. Especially after she fought with Izak and let out that satisfying laugh. Alex sighed and said with a poker face. "Senior Sister. Are you teasing me, or are you seducing me? You need to do your job better, you know. Firstly, if you are teasing me, you should giggle since it is the point of teasing. It is to have fun. Second, If you are seducing me, you can't say it with the awkward seductive tone of yours. Haiz!"
Song Yu froze when she heard that. She didn't know why, but she felt somewhat hurt. Although, she was testing him. She was at least still confident in her charm. It seems that her Master was right. Alex was different.
"I'm sorry, Junior Brother. I was testing you just now."
Alex nodded, "It's fine."
"Then, for my apology, I will give you this" She took out a green pill from her Space Ring to Alex.
Alex obviously recognized the pill. First, he was also an Alchemist. Second, he was the one who made this pill. Third, He sold it to her personally. "Perfect Jade Heart Pill"
Should he take it? Or should he not? After all, he already had Perfect Jade Heart Pill a long time ago. Never in his thought, they bought it for him. After all, he was only a stranger who suddenly needs to be picked up by them. Well, rejecting it was rude to her. So he took it. "Thank you, Senior Sister."
But when he tried to take the Jade Heart Pill from her hand. Song Yu immediately reached his hand and inspected it. "As expected. You are the masked Alchemist back then."
"What do you mean, Senior Sister?" Alex was surprised by it, but he needed to keep his ignorance.
"Haha, You don't need to act. You underestimated my hearing very much. Even though your voice a bit tempered because you spoke behind the mask. After confirming your hand, I finally know you are him."
Alex sighed, it seems, feigning ignorance wouldn't be any use from now on. So he just admitted it. "Then, If I am him, so what?"
"Nothing. Don't worry, I won't say it to Putri about this. I just really want to clarify it. But well, I'm a bit disappointed since my gift is useless to you. After all, you can sell that much Perfect Purity Jade Heart Pills, there is no way you haven't eaten one yet." Said Song Yu.
"Well, I'm thankful if Senior Sister won't tell others about it. And I'm also thankful since you even bought something hard to come by like that for a stranger. I mean, you bought it from me around a week ago. If I'm not wrong."
"Well, you are going to be my Junior Brother anyway."

"Well, you are still a Martial Master. I will guide you and reform you thoroughly, even if I need to use force."
"Then, since I'm an Alchemist. I can also make some poisons to make you obedient, you know."
"You will?" Song Yu said like she feared and disgusted Alex.
"You don't need to say it like that, I won't" Alex said without expression. "I don't find any benefit for doing that."
"What do you mean by that? I'm still a pretty girl you know" She said like she was wronged.
"Whatever." Alex only shrugged his shoulder.
"Well, joke aside. Since I don't have any gift for you now. What should I do..." Song Yu was thinking about something.
"You don't need to give me anything."
"Well, I can't. As your Senior Sister. I need to give you something. That's right. Since you can learn Sword Art easily, how about I do some demonstration for you?"
"!!!" Alex thought about this in the beginning, especially when he chose a Spear Art instead of Sword Art in the Martial Arts Pavilion. He can just learn it from others.
"Now I remembered, Master has shown you her Sword Rite and Sun Beam to you in that fight. Have you learned it yet?"
Alex shook his head. "Her Sword Rite, I can't copy that. After all, it was fused by her instinct, along with her thunder element to make her attacks hard to predict. As for her Sun Beam...I might be able, but I need to see it a few more times. I am pretty interested in it too."
"Hehe, She was thinking to exchange a Sword Art with your True Seven Stars Cut, you know. I never thought you could comprehend the True Seven Stars Cut that nobody can in the last few centuries."
"Well, the explanation within the monument is pretty hard to understand."
"Haha. Anyway, Master might visit you later. For the time being, she wanted to try to comprehend it by herself according to your last attack. Her Sun Beam is High Earth Tier Sword Art. Since the Seven Stars Cut is a Heaven Tier Sword Art, you might be able to ask another thing from her" Song Yu said.
"It's alright. I can cultivate in here alone already enough." Alex said.
Surprised, she thought he would think about it. But she never thought, Alex wasn't that greedy. But that's fine for her. After all, greed can kill. "Then, can I learn about it too? I can exchange it too with my Sword Art. Or are you prefer I exchange it with my body?"
"Enough with your dirty joke. Senior Sister, you are not suited to say it. Well, I don't mind with another Sword Art. If I have enough varieties about them, my attack pattern will become wider."
"Junior Brother, Do you know what you said is a mocking toward others?"
"What do you mean?" Alex was clueless about this. What did she mean about his words can mock others?
"I don't know how fast your learning speed, but judging from your previous words, saying you can learn Master's Sun Beam if you can look at it a few more times. I can roughly guess how fast it is. And I can confidently say that it is impossible for normal people. For example, I think I need two months to learn Sun Beam from the manual. That is already considered as fast.
If you can really learn Sun Beam just from a few looks. I can only say you are a monster. You don't need to waste your time to learn any Sword Arts and can focus on your cultivation wholeheartedly. That alone can give you a much faster speed than others in terms of cultivation."
"Ah!" Alex rolled his eyes away embarrassedly. He forgot about it. Now that he thought about it, it was as she said. Ordinary people needed to spend part of their time to learn Martial Arts while within that time, he can use it for cultivation. He secretly thankful for the Gacha System. If he can get Spear Mastery, it would be perfect.
"You can recover first for the time being. After this, we can go outside, and I will give you some demonstration of my Sword Arts...or should I just demonstrate all of them so you can learn them altogether?"
"No, learning too much Sword Arts at the moment might make me undecisive at the critical moment, unsure of using which Sword Arts." Now that he thought about it, maybe he would search for A Fire Arts next time he goes to Martial Arts Pavilion. "Oh, that's right. Senior Sister, is there any measurement about a person's rough strength?"
"A person rough strength? Oh! You must mean Bull and Dragon."
"Bull and Dragon?" Alex can't help but feel this term was very familiar to him...where had he heard it?
"Yeah. 10 kilogram is equal to one bull. Then, a thousand bulls are called a dragon."
Alex finally knew the measurement. He never knew about this since, usually, he used kilograms. But to blend in, he needed to know this. 'If ten kilogram is equal to one bull, then a dragon is equal to ten tons'
It was almost similar to a big truck. Getting punched by that...Won't it be the same as sending another person to another world with truck-kun? But this time, the journey was to the afterlife.
"Is there any more question?"
"How long have I slept?"
"Two hours."
"Then, I should be able to move normally after another hour."
"All right. I will wait for you in the field. Since the house here pretty similar to others. I'm sure you won't get lost after Putri gave you a tour." Song Yu said. Then suddenly she opened the windows in the room. Then she jumped to the field from it. Forgetting she was wearing a skirt at the moment.
Alex nodded while rolling his eyes to the side...'Pink'
Alex didn't have anything to do at the moment. So he finally checked his Gacha Tickets.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm[Gacha Ticket x491]
[Premium Ticket x0]
[Dart x0]
[Summoning Ticket x5]
[Summoning Coin x0]
He was surprised by the sudden appearance of 'Summoning Coin'. "System, what is this Summoning Coin?"
[Gacha Ticket-Premium Ticket while Summoning Coin-Summoning Ticket]
The System didn't give him any explanation but only gave him an example that was easy to understand. He immediately knew, the newly Summoning Coin was the same as his Gacha Ticket.
"So, I can only get any rare summon from the ticket?"
[Yes Host. And you can get Summoning Coin from Normal Gacha]
"From which category? There are three of them, right?"
[You can get it from any of them]
"...Seriously?"
[Yes]
Contemplating, Alex placed his hand on his chin. Material Gacha only contain medicinal ingredients and useless thing, and even if he got medicinal ingredients, he could only get rank 2 medicinal ingredients. As for Technique Gacha, he might be tempted doing that, but he was wondering if there was a useful technique in the normal one, not the premium one.
The last thing was Tool Gacha, he can get tools or weapons with a maximum of Rank 2 weapons or tools. But he was thinking from a different point of view. He didn't use anything other than Spear and Sword. Although he might get a cauldron, but he already had a Rank 3 Cauldron. So it was not useful for him. But getting a few more Rank 2 Spear might be useful for him as something throwable. Since the System can't recover his spear automatically, this might be the solution for the time being.
But there was another option which is to exchange it with Premium Ticket. But he might be able to get them back after leveling up his other Spirits and let them farm Gacha Tickets. With that, he decided to use all of his current tickets in Tools Gacha.
"System, Use all of my tickets on Tools Gacha."
