Chapter 44: Practice

44 Practice

Alex sat again on the sofa and wait for Alicia.
He realized, the amount of the impurities purged out from Alicia was much fewer than him. After pondering for a while, he conclude this was because his previous environment in earth. Since earth was polluted and the food he eat was another factor of it.
He wait for Alicia, She wasn't like him. She take half an hour to wash herself. After she out of the bathroom. Alex look at her and captivated.
If Alicia before was a fairy, now she become a goddess. Beautiful Face, purple colored hair reaching to her waist, snow white skin, and graceful figure. Alex was captivated to her.
She noticed Alex gaze at her and saw his expression. She become proud. So she went to Alex and brag. "Alex...Alex!" She wake him up
"Ah.. Princess, Sorry" He said embarrassedly.
"Hehe... how do I look?" She teased.
"Yes...yes.. you are very beautiful." Alex said timidly.
"Hehe...thanks, then how do I compare with me from before?"
"Ugh..." Hearing this question, he didn't want to Answer. But Alicia grabbed him, seems like she didn't want to release him before getting the answer.
"Before...Princess is a fairy, But now is a goddess" Alex said embarrassedly.
"Really?....hehe.." She grinned happily. Upon this, the world seems become warmer. Alex also captivated by this. But somehow Alex also felt a chill, he felt from this day many problem will come.
She satisfied with Alex's response, she go to bed, "Good Night Alex"
"Good night Princess"
The princess fall asleep, the smile still didn't disappeared from her face. It's seems she will have a nice dream today.
Back to Alex, he didn't know what to do. Should he eat another pill or he cultivated as usual. Blood replenishing pill, antidote pill, and qi replenishing pill are not possible for the moment. There are still qi gathering pill and body foundation pill. He want to take qi gathering pill but he wondering if he should take a bath with body foundation pill first.
He hesitated, he didn't know about any relation with two of them. he decided to wait first until he finished body foundation pill. The limit for both of them is ten, so he will wait for ten days to make foundation for his body first.
The morning come, the start of the class again. When Alex and Alicia come to the class. Everyone was shocked. Alicia become so much beautiful while average looking Alex become prince charming.
Firia was the one who was too shocked with this. One month ago, She saw Alex and Alicia. But this time she saw them, she look them like they are ghost. She wondering what happened with this month. She come up with two possibilities, first is Alex and the second is the Dean. She exclude the grand duke, because he is in capital while there are no big ruckus in capital.
Alicia was surrounded at first, everyone wondering what happen. What make her and Alex become like this, the boys was captivated by her and the girls want to know her secret. She only glance to Alex, passing it to him.
Alex was immediately surrounded by the girls, Alicia now regret what she have done.Alex can't handle them and he put all the blame to his teacher. That make them a bit disappointed, but also tried to secretly make plan for Alex since he is his student.
After a while, they start calming down. Alex and Alicia go to their seat.
"It is you right? Not my idol (His teacher). Is it a pill again? I want it too" Firia whispered to Alex. Firia was spot on. Alex can only admit it.
"Sigh...I will give it later after practice."
The classes was ended like usual. Firia was more fired up than usual, maybe since she will get the pill. After the practice Alex give her blood and marrow pill
"This is blood and marrow pill. It will purge impurities from your body, so prepared to take a bath after eating this pill" Alex said.
"Yeah, you really need to take a bath after eating this pill. If not you will become like this 'black and stinky' Alex." Alicia add
"Eh.. really?" Firia started become nervous
"It basically make all the impurities in your body out." Alex said.
"Then Alicia become like that too?" She asked Alex.
"There is now way I become like that. I already prepared the bath so I am not like that." Before Alex said anything, Alicia immediately cut in. Her face was red.
"Fufu...Alright, thank you Alex. see you tomorrow" Firia said with 'I understand' look and left.
"You..." Alicia want to shout but Firia already run away.
As usual, after he said goodbye to Alicia. He immediately went to dean's office. Today he will learn with forging.
"Teacher"
"Oh..Alex, you have come. Come here, you want to learn forging right?"
"Yes teacher, Thank you for your guidance"
"Actually, for normal forging is easy. You melt the ingot, when they become liquefied you pour them to the mold. If there are any excess you hammer them until it completely fitted with the mold. And then you just wait them to cool down. Then you sharpen them. the step was completed."
Alex was surprised. Is this really forging he thought.
"The different from normal forging is magic forging. This is to make magic weapon. What I will teach you is forging a magic weapon. The two main problem is to mixed many kind of metals and harmonized them, the other problem is purging the impurities within each metal. This is also problem in normal forging. You need to make the metal without impurities if you want a good quality weapon. But the different is when we use normal forge we only use one metal while the former we use many kind metals."
"I will teach you how to remove the impurities from metal first." He lead Alex to his workshop. He showed a gray metal.
"This is iron ingot. We will heat it first, after we heat them we hammer them. Look at this technique, this was called Metal Hammer techniques. I was lucky, some elder dwarf teach me this technique. This hammering techniques contain a total of 200 hammering."
After he said that, he hammer the iron ingot 200 times, Alex see it, at first the hammering was slow, then fast and slow again. This hammering techniques was using mana when hammering, the purpose is to force the impurities out with mana. But there are something in common all 200 hammering. That is they use the same strength each time hammering.
The dean was finished hammering the ingot. The iron ingot become a metallic gray color. This show the iron was purified.
"This is the purified iron. You try this hammering techniques first. I will guide you step by step"
Alex tried to imitate the dean, he tried to hammer the ingot.
"Wrong, you didn't put enough strength.."
"Wrong, you are not fast enough"
"Wrong, this time you didn't put the same strength"
Alex train his hammering techniques with the dean, he always come back so late. And Alicia already sleep every time he come back. For the first ten days, Alex learning speed become faster and faster. This is enough scaring the dean. But what he didn't know Alex take body foundation pill each day.
Every time he take this pill while bathing, he feel refreshed. He was surprised at first, when he put the pill to the water, the pill was melted into the water. But when he got inside the water, he felt his meridian in the body start to opened up. He also felt he can use mana better and better. He didn't take the qi gathering pill yet.
Alex still train in his hammer techniques. After a month, he manage to completely grasped the techniques. The dean was scared still.
"Alex, you succeed in the techniques... You know how long I manage to grasp this technique?"
"I...don't know" Alex look down, he thought his talent was not up to standard as he take this long to grasp this technique.
"It's two years! Two years! You here me? This make me claimed to have the same talent with the dwarfs. And the elder dwarfs was usually manage to grasped this technique between half a year to one year. But you are only need one month to master this technique."
"Oh..." Alex relieved, he thought his talent wasn't enough.
"But don't be too proud, or you will get the consequences" The dean said, he didn't say the consequences.
"I won't teacher" Alex said, he didn't become proud. Because what he relied is basic forging manual from system. The forging manual have a set of a thousand times hammering techniques. The two hundred times hammering techniques from dwarfs was similar with this technique, so he think maybe this is the down grade from the techniques in basic forging manual.
"Sigh...Since you already finished we will resume the training tomorrow for harmonizing techniques" The dean said.
"Yes!" Alex left.
Now he is wondering, since he is early. What he should do. He recalled he still haven't eat the qi gathering pill.
He come back. He saw Alicia trying to make palm size ice ball, she tried to make a few simple shape, like cube or tube. This was Alex suggestion to improve her control. She started doing this everyday since holiday. Alex never saw her practicing like this. Maybe because he was always come back late. She was already finished her practice.
Alicia was surprised Alex come back early. "Alex!" the ice immediately disappear. She blushed "You..come back early"
"I'm sorry for interrupting your practice, Princess." This is the first time he saw Alicia practice alone.
"I...I don't want to always stand behind you. I want to stand beside you" She said, even though she was embarrassed but determination still full her eyes.
"Princess.." Alex heart moved.
'system, can I take the cultivation manual to her?'
[You can Host]
'Then I will give it to her'
[But, there won't won't be any effect for her to cultivate Host]
'.....Why?'
[The energy from her body was already imprinted with this World's law. if she start cultivate heaven and earth energy. the world's law will devoured that energy]
'I really can't give it to her?' he was disappointed. 'Then how about for people that haven't even level up?'
[It is the same Host. System can say, the only one who didn't have his/her energy imprinted with the world's law is Host. Because Host never absorb any energy when killing the monsters. Even the heroes now already imprinted by this world's law]
'Wasn't I take them back then ?' he remembered when killing a few first monster in Alisia Forest.
[Host Indeed taken them before. but before the world's law infused fully with your body, Host already decided to expel them]
'Sigh...but is there really no way for her to cultivate?'
[Yes Host]
Alex was disappointed, he sighed.
[But there are possibilities, to make her half cultivate]
'You mean?' Alex held a glimmer of hope Find authorized novels in ReadNovelFull，faster updates, better experience，Please click .Com for visiting.
[She can tried to absorb the mana in air like cultivation. Host can call this forced absorbtion. though the effect will be small as the absorbtion speed was slow, Host can boost them with your pills, like Qi gathering Pill. This take a principle like when tthey train their body to get a few points status related to body such as STR, AGI, VIT, or even Dex. This practice can make a new mana reservoir within the body since this is a different practice. For example, a rank 3 mage and he was cultivate his new mana reservoir to rank 3. That's mean if in the fight, he was like two rank 3 mage]
'That's it, Teacher said there are no method to increase mana. So with a few special potion like spiritual liquid was the only way to increase one's mana.' Alex smiled happily
"Alex?" She confused, looking at Alex who silent for a while suddenly smiled.
"Princess..." Alex hesitated. He gritted his teeth "I actually have a practice method to increase mana...but..."
Alicia eyes widened, if this was true. This practice method would make people go crazy. "What is it?"
"This is practice still not tested to other people. So there are no way to tell what happen later" Alex said.
"Other people? Then, you already tested it yourself?" Alicia asked.
"Yes... Aren't princess curious why I can still progress in here without killing monster?"
"Well, everyone have their own secret. But seeing you get stronger make me joy" She scratched her cheek and blushed.
Alex smiled gently. "Then, is Princess want to..." Alex hesitated.
