CHAPTER 38 – Rewards.
38 CHAPTER 38 – Rewards.
"Keep it for now, maybe it can be used later," Alex spoke from inside the kitchen while Alice and Ann were sitting on the chair that they had dragged at the entrance of the kitchen.
"Un, I will do that." Alice nodded in acceptance and spoke and Ann wrote it down on her notepad.
They were unable to decide what to do with the rewards they got from the Orc chief. They were able to think of many uses for the Mana core that was dropped from the Boss but they didn't know about the other drop.
Yes, the first reward was Mana Core, even though it was an incomplete one. Still, there was a point that an incomplete mana core was also a mana core, and it did every one of the things that a normal one can do.
However, the price of the incomplete one would be higher as it was the first time anyone was ever going to see an incomplete mana core. They didn't have a rising star in their guild as of now, so, they didn't need to save the mana core for them.
After a long discussion, they decided to sell it and buy something more useful. They knew it was a very important item that could cause a sensation in the Raider world, and they wanted it to happen.
Alex told them that it would be better to sell it as it would cause a lot of commotion which included lots of killing which meant lots of crimes. Raider association being Raider association, they had to do their job to protect the peace of the country.
This would mean that they will have their plates full for some time and they would not cause any trouble for them in the meantime. Alice and Ann readily accepted the idea of selling the incomplete mana core, throwing out the little hesitation they had in their minds.
Finally, they decided to sell the incomplete mana core in an auction as it would fetch them a larger sum along with a larger commotion.
Resulting in more work for the Association and more time for Alice and the group to prepare for whatever the Association was going to throw at them.
They didn't think of using the mana core to strengthen themselves as they already asked Alex to train them to become stronger.
They knew that Alex would have a way of making them stronger by training them, after all, he was the one who told them about the bloodline thing. Now they just wanted him to help them get stronger and reach the limit of the world.
The second reward was a skill book, which surprised them more than the mana core as the skill books were the rarest of the rare. That too when the skill book was of an SS-rank skill.
It was the skill 'Infernal Sword Aura' that was used by the boss and after looking at the Rank of the skill book they realised just how dangerous the boss was. But then they sighed as they remembered how easily Alex defeated the same boss, added to that, his stats were suppressed as well.
Back to the topic – they couldn't decide what to do with the second reward as the other rewards were not much when compared to this.
Alice had asked Alex if he wanted it, but his reply was simple – "I can create an ability stronger than that without a skill book, so, why would I need that?"
They just speechlessly looked at him causing him to shrug nonchalantly.
So, when he suggested that they keep the reward stored for now they agreed without hesitation. Selling it was never even considered by them.
This skill would only contribute to increasing the strength of the person who bought it more than any mana core could, they also couldn't guess who would buy it.
If the person who bought it was an enemy, then well, there's no need to say it right. It would be like inviting themselves more trouble.
If the one who bought the skill was their ally it is still bearable, but no one knows when an ally will turn against the other, so, it's better if they kept it to themselves.
It was an SS rank skill after all and skills that could compare with it were the ones that people called table turners of an organisation or simply the trump card of the organization.
Now, some people might be thinking, why was Alex doing the dishes? It was because he wanted to and no one could stop him if he wanted to do something. However, that was the reason that Alice and Ann knew, the real reason was simple – Alex was just happy.
He prepared the best dinner he could as well as did the dishes as a thanks to Alice and Ann for taking him to the Gate. Because of the Gate, he had earned a good sum of Points for himself, though he had already thought of a way to use it as well.
"All right, let's move to the living room. I have something to talk about with you guys." Alex spoke with a smile while using wind and Fire to create hot wind, that he used to dry his hands.
Ann and Alice, who could clearly see and feel everything just sighed while thinking, 'What's the use of the towel in the kitchen?'. Alex used the same magic to dry the dishes and now he used the same for drying his hands when there was a towel right in front of him.
However, they hurriedly went to the living room as they were also curious about the thing Alex was about to talk about. Then the next second their faces became serious as they remembered Alex's feats.
They looked at each other and nodded their heads with a determined expression. They thought that they were ready for whatever Alex was going to tell them.
They had decided not to get surprised with any of the surprises (normal things for Alex) that Alex was going to present them and they were determined to follow through with it.
But they didn't know just how easy it was for Alex to crumble the wall of determination they had. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The girls saw Alex entering the living room and sitting on the sofa in front of them, then suddenly two things appeared on the glass table that was between Alex and them. At first, the things looked simple, but when they realised what those things were…...
They had their eyes wide open while their mouths opened and closed, not knowing what to show. Alex on the other hand smiled contently since he could see the desire that was hidden deep in the eyes of the girls as they saw the items.
