Chapter 36: Duel

Alex now is ranked at 11 in grade ranking, he saw Cornel's ranking is 25, while Alicia in 101. He also saw Princess Mia's name, she was rank 9, two ranks above Alex. And the last is Firia who in rank 279.

When Alex inside the forest, he was like a killing machine. If not because he was injured and forced to heal his wound for a week. Maybe he can come up as rank 1.

"That's impossible" Someone shouted.

When they saw the one who shouted. Yes, it's Cornel.

"You only a commoner and also a first-grade student. There's no way you can kill a rank 5 monster. That's right you must be cheated."

Alex frowned, he said coldly"You can eat anything, but you can't say any word without proof"

"Proof? I don't need proof. My word is proof. That's right if you want proof, I challenge you to a duel. I will defeat you and everyone will know you cheated in this ranking"

"You.." Alicia glared at him

"Princess... why can't you see he is cheating. He was a commoner so he resorted to cheating. He is really not worthy of you princess Alicia"

"In two days at the arena" Alex coldly said and he left.

"Look he is escaping, he doesn't want to embarrass himself".

"You...." She glared at Cornel and left following Alex.

She saw him in their room.

"Alex..." She worried about Alex.

"I'm fine, princess. You don't need to worry about me. All in all, I benefit a lot in the night forest. So I can't be bothered by him"

"That's good then" She relieved.

'system how many tickets I get?'

[273 Tickets, Host]

'how many that I have acc.u.mulated?'

[766 Tickets, Host]

'I see'

The next day, he sees the dean.

"Teacher"

"Alex, you have come. The ingredients for rank 2 pill already come"

"Yes" Alex hearing this, was eager to refine them.

"But you can't refine them today."

Alex's mood went down. The dean explained "You better rest for today. And also I want to talk another matter with you"

"What is it teacher?"

"I saw you make a flame wave using a sword. I want to forbid you using that move again."

"Why?" Alex confused, why he forbid him using this move.

"When you use that skill. The feeling of my fire in my body was suppressed. So if you use where other people present. They will know your pure element"

"I see" Alex nod.

"And also, I observe you use sword intent when you killed the bear."

"Oh..." Alex just nod. He still confused with that energy, he knows now that energy called sword intent.

"There are many great people in the way of the sword. They have a common job called Sword Saint. And the minimum requirement to get that job is Sword intent. Try to check your status, there must be sword saint in your job"

Alex nod, he spoke in his mind 'system'

The dean didn't shock with this. Because he knows, the status card was imprinted in his body. He can will it to appear and will it to disappear. All people have this card in their bodies. This card really miraculous. And you can see your status in your mind. But what he didn't know Alex see his status with system.

True, He now had sword saint as a job.

"Yes, I get sword saint as my secondary job" he nod.

"Secondary?" The dean confused, sword saint is one of the high-level jobs. Usually, people who have a sword saint as his job will become their primary job. "And your primary job is?"

"Adventurer" Alex said casually.

Hearing this, the dean almost vomited blood. He angry,

"What are you doing? Why are you keeping such a useless job as your primary job? Don't tell me you don't know how to change your job?"

"I can change them?" Alex innocently asked.

Dean's face was darkened. He tried to calm down for a while, he forgets he is from another world. so he is ignorant about this. He sighs "You can change them with your mind"

"Let me try" he closed his eyes. He tried to change his job within his mind

"Oh it's a success" but Alex confused "Why I need to change the adventurer job to secondary?"

"Don't tell me, you didn't know about the benefit of the primary job?"

Alex can only shake his head.

"Primary job has a boosting effect according to the job. Take your sword saint as an example. If you use sword saint as your primary job, though it won't boost you in attack power. But your comprehension speed in the sword will be increased. Another example is your Alchemist job, this job will boost your comprehension speed for alchemy. But it will only have an effect after you put that job as your primary job. Now do you understand?" he angrily explained.

"Uh...I understand" he didn't know about this. If he knows he already makes his job changed. Especially when he refined pills.

"If other people want to look at your card. You can hide your secondary job. So when you let them see your card put your adventurer job as primary and hidden your secondary job."

The dean continued, "Well whatever. I heard you will going to battle with second-grade students tomorrow?"

"Yes"

"Haiz, it will just become bullying for you. We will start refining the pill tomorrow after your battle. You can go back"

"Yes."

Alex went back to his room. As usual, Alicia was waiting for him. She asked him for the usual training. And of course, after a few hours, you can only see Alicia laid down tiredly on the floor. She never landed a hit on Alex. But this training gives her a big benefit. Especially, when she fighting with the monster at night forest. even she was surrounded she can still fight with her staff.

The next day, after class he trained together with Firia as usual. But Firia keeps nagging him that it's already time to head to the arena. After half an hour nagging, Alex surrender. He decided to go to the arena.

In the arena, the audience was full even though now is a holiday for them. they are curious about this second-grade genius facing with first-grade super genius. And The dean was also in the audience.

On the arena, Cornel already waiting for him for a half-hour.

"Heh... it seems your student didn't have any courage," an old man said. This old man is Cornel's teacher. This old man is a rank 7 swordsman

The dean hearing this, he shakes his head. "It's better he didn't come. If not, your student's pride will be crushed by him. It will just become plain bullying"

"You.. you can only say that because he didn't come." He sneered.

"Haha..." The dean simply laughed away.

"Seems he doesn't have the courage to get here. He knows his cheat already blown away. so he doesn't have face to meet all people her." He sneered.

"That's right, he scared of sir Cornel" one of Cornel's lackey said.

But suddenly the audience cheered. Alex has come.

Alex slowly walked to the arena.

"You finally come. I thought you get scared since your cheating had already blown away by me. You really not deserve princess Alicia"

Alex ignored him, he only looked at the referee and said, "Please Start"

"You..." Cornel angry when he is ignored by him.

The referee checks them once again. "The match start"

"Die!" Cornel immediately charged at him with his sword.

Alex didn't even bother using his sword, he just dodges him effortlessly again and again.

The match went by like that for a few minutes, Cornel was infuriated. "Don't escape if you have the guts"

"..." Alex only keeps his silence while dodging.

"You can only escape. What right do you have to be standing beside her? Don't worry, after I kill you here I will take good care of her" He grinned evilly.

Hearing this Alex frowned, he was fine if he was insulted but he didn't want Alicia to get brought in it. he already decided to end this match.

He grabbed his sword on his waist, he swings it to Cornel weapon, Alex targets his weapon specially.

'clang' Cornel weapon was flown away. then he kicked Cornel's abdomen to vent his anger. He jumped in his direction and put his sword on Cornel's neck.

"Match ended. Alexander Win"

Alex nod, he sheathes his sword and turned back, he didn't want to be bothered by him. Just when he was walking away from the arena.

"No.. This is impossible. You cheat, you don't have any chivalry or it's impossible that I lose" Cornel grab his sword once again. He charged to Alex "Die!"

Alex frowned. 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"

'sword intent'

When the two swords clash. Cornel's weapon didn't have a stand. It immediately broke away.

Yes, Cornel's sword was split into two. Cornel was shocked by this.

"Sword Intent" a few teachers stood up when looking at this. Even Cornel's teacher was shocked too. He too was a sword practitioner, but he still doesn't have to congeal a sword intent. But this 17 years old youth, already have a sword intent.

Of course, Cornel didn't notice any of this, he went berserk. "No no this is impossible. My sword is rank 4 mithril sword. You must be cheating. There's no way your puny iron sword can cut my sword. That's right, your teacher is the dean's right. He is a master forging, so he must give you this sword. Right, you only win because of this sword. It's not your ability"

Alex simply looked at the referee and give his sword.

"This is only a normal iron sword" The referee announced and give back the sword.

"No this is impossible. How can you cut my weapon" he felt his face slapped a few times on the arena.

Alex looked at the referee, "He already broke away many rules, so this is only self-defense."

Alex kicked Cornel's abdomen, but this time with his full power, he really wanted to vent his frustration from Cornel's blabbering. Cornel was blown away and crashed to the wall outside the arena and passed out. This injury will leave him a few months to heal.

"Bastard!" Of course, Cornel's teacher was angry. He sent a sword wave to Alex wanting to kill him.

'sword intent'

Alex tried to cut this sword wave with his sword intent. He was pushed back by this sword wave.

"Ha..." Alex roared. He put all his power into his sword.

He managed to cut this powerful sword wave made by a rank 7 swordsman, but this leaves him with many internal injuries, he coughed blood.

"Alex" Alicia and Firia shouted they will immediately run to Alex.
