Chapter 101: Back

101 Back

Two days have passed after the incident, Alex and the rest have woke up. Except…Alicia who still lay on her bed. Alex locked up himself, saying it is all his fault. Firia also saddened by this and accompany Alicia. Sherry already stayed by Alex's side.
An old man stopped in front of Alex's room.
"Knock Knock" he knocked the door
There is no sound from the other side.
"Knock Knock" he knocked it again
Still no sound from inside.
"Sigh…Alex, it's me"
"…."
One minute… two minutes…. Five minutes…
"Alex…"
"Te…teacher…." Finally, there is a weak sound from the inside. "Am…I…Wrong…"
"Sigh… Open the door first. I wanted to talk about you about that"
One minute later…
"Clack"
The door was opened. The dean entered his room and looking at the weak Alex. Sherry also in the room watching her master like this, pained her heart. She looked at the dean hopefully. She hopes that the dean able to help her master.
"Am…I…wrong…Teacher…"
"Yes, you are wrong"
"I…"
"Bam!"
He threw Alex to the wall. "Let me list your wrong. First, What are you doing? Holing up like this won't make your wrong become right, won't erase your mistake. Second, You holing up here, what do you think about the other who cared about you? You are just hurting them. Third, who are you? You are Alicia's man, but what are you doing? Did you help her in time like this? You just sit here, nice and comfy thinking that you are the only one hurt? No! you are not the only one hurt Alex, there are others. But what are you doing? And what are they doing? They are searching for a solution while you? You only sitting here"
"But…"
The dean looked at him seriously, "Your biggest mistake... When you fought the assassins. Did you use your flame?"
"I…"
"No, right?" The dean sighed a little, "I know you didn't use it. If you used it, I might be surprised. The reason is simple, I… or maybe other people also said the same thing. Don't use your flame in front of others."
The dean looked at Alex bitterly, He always watching Alex grew up. And he knew, despite his brilliance, there is actually a shadow… a big shadow in his heart. He always wanted to break this shadow of his but there is no chance for it. After all, to destroy this shadow, he needs a setback. But never in his thought, that the price of this setback was…Alicia.
"Ha… I don't know what kind of environment you lived in before you become my student. 'I will get hurt if I don't obey', 'I will obey', or the like. You must have experienced something like that continuously from childhood. I know, it was imprinted inside you. That is your shadow. It was like a brainwashed whether you did it yourself or someone did it. It becomes your own doctrine. Just because I said you can't show it to others. You didn't show it. On the contrary, if you fought the assassins along with your fire. You might be able to finish them easily. Actually, In that situation, it was the perfect time to unleash it. This is why I said that was your biggest mistake"
"Without a wrong, we didn't know what is right. Without a mistake, we didn't know what is wrong. Without a fear, we didn't know what we need to fight at. Without a setback, we didn't know what we lack. If you didn't do anything, we didn't know if it is possible or not. We will do our best first so we will accept the result without regret"
"But…it was the legendary poison. There is no one who can cure it"
The Dean shook his head, "No, there is one man that managed to cure it."
Alex's eyes brightened a bit.
"He was the ascender. We will try to search for his record about it. After he ascended himself in the Death Forest. Many already tried to search for his inheritance, but sadly there is no one that managed to do it."
Alex's eyes brightened once more when he heard 'Death Forest'. Back then, he felt some kind of connection within the forest, but the dean said that many people already tried to search it but to no avail. Then…what is that connection? What is the difference between him and them? One word came on his mind 'Pure Fire'. That's right, both of them have the same element, they both have Pure Fire Element'. The reason they can't find it because they don't have the same element.
The possibility is slim but not zero.
"Well, that's all. I only wanted to say that to you. Rather than holing up here, better to use it for something else. Alright, I will go back first. I still need to investigate who is the mastermind"
"Teacher. Actually…"
With his teacher encouragement, he finally told the whole story about what happened back in the forest. From when they appeared until the last talk.
"Hmm… If what he said was true. We won't let off Zircodina and its hero."
"Teacher, can you leave him to me. I wanted to kill him myself"
The dean looked at him and nodded, "Alright. We will conduct the investigation with the hero as its base. We don't know whether the assassin saying the truth or not. He might also want to make us fighting with each other"
"Yes"
The dean left the room. Alex planned for his next move.
"System, can you cure the Green Devil Poison?"
The system didn't answer him. that means, the only possible way was in that Death Forest. Alex had decided to search that ascender palace. He took out his sword and spear.
"Wuu"
He looked at Sherry. After that depression, he didn't look at her enough. Sherry's body shrank by much. Before, she had a height of one meter. But this time, it was only around thirty centimeters. But the Sherry now was absolutely cuter than before.
Alex caressed her a bit. "What happened with your body?"
"Wuu Wuu Wuu. Wuu Wuu"
"What? You can grow back like before?"
"Wuu Wuu" Sherry nodded. She then started growing and growing until she reached one-meter height like her previous body.
"I See. You really can transform back"

"That mini form was a convenient form?"
"Wuu" Sherry shrank back. She suddenly jumped to the top of Alex's head. "Wuu Wuu (I can also like this in this form. Together with master hehe…"
Alex smiled a bit, he patted her head, "Yes yes, as long as you like it"
"Wuu" Sherry joyfully accepted that.
"But, I need to go to a dangerous place first. I think I can't bring you. I didn't want you to-"
"Plak!"
Sherry hit Alex's head with her paw. "Wuu Wuu"
She reprimanded her, She said she wanted to live and die together with her master. As long as they are together, that was fine for her.
"Wuu Wuu"
"What? You can be what?"
Suddenly Sherry disappeared from Alex's head. Alex was shocked, he tried to search around but he didn't see Sherry in the room.
"Sherry? Sherry? Where are you?"
"Wuu"
Suddenly Alexander's back glowing. Sherry suddenly came out from the tattoo on his back. Alex was flustered when suddenly there is a? tattoo on his back.
"Sherry? What did just happen? How are you suddenly disappeared and appeared like that? And why is there a tattoo in my back?"
"Wuu" Sherry also didn't know why, but there is one thing She knew. She can go in and out from that tattoo.
"…It seems that we will research about that too"
"Wuu(then, can I follow you)?"
Alex contemplated a bit then nodded. "But, you need to go inside of me, alright? We will go now"
"Wuu" Sherry nodded happily. She went inside of him once again.
After Sherry got inside of him. he didn't feel any difference in his feeling or body, so he didn't really mind about it. He opened his door and slowly walked toward Alicia's room. He opened the door and saw Alicia laying on the bed and Firia who seems asleep after nursing her.
Alex slowly walked toward them, he didn't want to wake them up. Alex patted Firia head a bit and said in a very low voice. "Sorry for worrying you. I'm fine now. Wait for me alright"
Alex then turned to Alicia. He stroke her purple hair tenderly. "Wait for me alright. I will definitely cure you"
"Alex?"
Alex turned back and saw Firia woke up. Firia tear up a bit and hugged him "I'm glad you are alright"
Alex's heart in pain. He hugged her back "I'm sorry for worrying you"
Suddenly Firia realized. Alex brought his weapon. She started to worry again "Where are you going?"
"…" Alex hesitated. After contemplating a bit, he answered "Death Forest"
"What? Why are you going there again? Don't tell me-"
Alex placed his finger on her mouth. He shook his head, "No. Teacher said that there is a case where Green Devil Poison was cured. And the one who cured it was the ascender."
"Then, do you want to… But even after 5000 years passed. There is nothing there"
Alex shook his head. "The chance is slim but not zero. I also felt the connection there. I assumed there is a connection with my Pure Fire Element. After all, both of us were Pure Fire Element"
Firia's eyes widened. She was surprised by that.
"If Teacher searching for me. Please tell him that I went there. Please also tell him about the 'Connection'. And also, please don't stop trying to search for cures. I will also do my best on my end"
"Alex…" Firia looked at him. Alex patted her head again, "Don't worry. I will come back, definitely. For myself, for Teacher, for Alicia, for you, for everyone else. I will come back"
"I…" Firia looked at him with worry. She wanted to tell him that she wanted to follow him but after that incident, there won't be any situation like that if he was alone. So, this time she decided. "Alex! May Fortune be with you"
Alex was surprised but soon the surprise turned to a smile. "Yes! See you soon"
Alex opened the window and used his sky step and went toward the Death Forest once again.
…
Unprior to him,? in a room there is someone who still rolling herself on the bed. "That Poison! That F*cking Poison. Argh!"
