Gacha Sovereign
chapter-186

"Jewel Wind"

The wind movement can be seen by n.a.k.e.d eyes. The air was sucked by the pressure and generate more wind as time goes by. The wind moves toward Alvaro. There is something hidden in the wind. Alex felt the sharpness within the wind.

"Berserker Axe"

Alvaro once again swings his giant axe to destroy the wind by disrupting its flow. But it seems his effort was futile. When Alvaro thought he had destroyed the wind. The wind generated again and passed him.

Like having sharp blades inside the wind. After it passed through Alvaro, Alvaro started bleeding all over. A few grazes on his face, hands, body, feet suddenly appeared as the blood begins to gush out of the wounds.

"Argh!"

Alex furrows his eyebrows. He can't see any Spear Intent inside the technique. And judging from what he saw with his Spirit Eyes. It is purely Spear Art. How can she do that? To generate the pressure to form a sharp wind like that is a very particular art. At the very least, he can't do it.

Noticing Alex's confusion. Song Yu suddenly broke her silence. "It is her family art. Her family is famous for their Spear Art. And the one who has Wind Element was more favored in her family. After all, most of their strongest Spear Art is based on Wind Element like the one she used just now."

Alex looks at her mysteriously.

"What is it?" Confused, she asked. She observes his eyes. She often saw l.u.s.tful eyes wandering on her or her junior sister. It can be said, she can distinguish a person's eyes. But for the time being, she didn't see it in Alex. So, her 'purifying plan' on him is on hold.

He doesn't want to ask this, but this curiosity is killing him. After all, their timing is perfect just now. And their action seems to protect him. So he still asked, even she will think he is over himself, "Are you two protecting me?"

"Umu, That's right!" She blatantly confirmed it.

"Why?"

"Eh, why, you say?" She looked at him confusedly. "Don't tell me you don't know about it?"

"Don't know about what?"

"Ah! So you still in the dark" Facepalmed, She sighed helplessly. "Let see. In short, you are sold by the sect master."

"Sold by the sect master?" Alex is confused by this. What is the relation between him with Sect Master? Is it the Third Elder, after all, he managed to use the real Seven Stars Cut? Maybe the Third Elder inform him about that to the sect master? That must be it.

"Ahem, Let me explain this to you. My Master, Ninth Elder, told me to become your tutor. And it was the order of the sect master. He said you are a genius. Then when my Master asked him why he didn't take you as his disciple. Then his answer was, 'He can't have a teacher nor a master. So, he can only have a tutor in this sect'. Even though my Master was confused by that answer, she, regardless, accepted the order."

The moment she said that he immediately gets his answer, only one name can tell him that. 'Conn Kidellan'. The culprit is the Seventh Elder. Conn can't say anything about his talents. But if he vaguely hints the sect master about it. It might pique the interest of the sect master. Then, the Sword Monument and Third Elder sealed his fate.

No master and no teacher. It is indeed what he said. If he knows, there is something like a tutor and protege. He might add that condition too. He can only curse his lack of knowledge and Conn Kindellan.

Now he is thinking, should he reject that? But the condition is a bit tempting even for him. After all, if he holed up in a Core Disciple house, he will be safe for the moment. There won't be anyone questioning him, except an elder from twenty peaks and the sect master. But he is sure they won't be that bored.

The one who might be bored is the disciples. Maybe, just say one in a hundred chance a Core Disciple suddenly come to Himura Minami's house. He is very sure that she will abandon him. As for a reason, to make her home become her love nest with Kenshin.

But Alex can't accept this offer just like that. "But, I still have a tutor, she is..."

"Himura Minami" Song Yu said her name before Alex did. "I know. In fact, She is only a substitute. According to my Master's words. Sect Master wants me to be your tutor. But, because the Seventh Elder said that I was in the mission back then. The Sect Master can only relent about it and let Himura Minami become your tutor for a month."

Now he understood the whole situation. Of course, he didn't forget to curse the sly Seventh Elder.

"So, we will go to my mansion and meet my Master after this. Oh, that's right, you need to claim your reward first. But I should say you are pretty interesting. I never thought a 4-Star Martial Master could place in ninth"

When she said about reward. Alex can understand another meaning behind that sentence. How can they know he still hasn't received his reward? They can only know if they watch from the beginning. After all, the most reasonable thing to do after you accomplished something in this battle tower is to receive the reward. "Then, what do I need to call you?"

"Just call me Senior Sister. You also don't need to mind about formality. I particularly don't mind about that. Especially, my Master, she hates formality. As long as you didn't say anything inappropriate, that's enough"

"Then, Senior Sister. I want to ask you something."

"Sure, ask me anything."

"You have watched me from the start, right? I mean, from I got outside that room."

"Of course" She admits it blatantly. She then pats Evelyn's head. "If you didn't step forward and let this little girl protect you. I will let that Alvaro to teach you a lesson before I appear! Haha!"

"That's not funny, Senior Sister. But certainly. Letting her protect me like that. Give a bad taste in my mouth" Alex said.

"Umm, will Senior Sister hurt big brother Alex?" Evelyn suddenly asked.

Song Yu looks at her gently. "Of course not. This Senior Sister won't hurt him."

"Un!" Just with those words, Evelyn nodded happily. Alex and Song Yu looked at her and thought, 'What an innocent girl.'

Then Evelyn looks at Alex. "Big brother Alex, can I ask you something?"

"Sure"

"I want to ask about the Seven Stars Cut. Back then, I felt something...fundamentally different from big brother Seven Stars Cut."

Alex suddenly froze, and Song Yu astonished as she looked at Alex. It seems she also in full ears. This topic piqued her interest as she is also a sword user. Of course, Lena, who seems to be forgotten by others, gets closer as she fixes her hair around her ears.

"If big brother Alex doesn't want to answer. Then it's alright."

Alex makes a wry smile. He suddenly pulls his mouth closer to Evelyn's ear and whispers something to her. "If you want to know the secret. Come back to me after you can send your Sword Intent flying. That's the requirement. It is futile to know about it now. Don't tell anyone, including your brother and sister, about this before you reach the requirement, alright? I won't tell you the secret if you tell the other about the requirement."

Evelyn was surprised by Alex's words. The requirement is very high. But she happily agreed to it. "Un!"

Song Yu is curious about it, "What is the secret of Seven Stars Cut Junior Brother? Don't tell me, you know the truth about Seven Stars Cut, or you have comprehended the true Seven Stars Cut?"

Alex is a bit surprised by it. People who have high cultivation seems to have more pride. They tend not to believe what a weakling said even if it reasonable. They will just say you are still inexperienced. But it seems, Song Yu is different. She can lower herself down to match her talking partner with her cheerful personality.

Alex only shook his head to her. And to his surprise, Song Yu only crossed her arms and pouted cutely. "Meanie!"

Although she acts like this, in truth, she felt something odd about him. She felt his voice is pretty similar to the masked person she met in Shades Town. She was born with great ears. Her ears' ability is far higher than average. She sometimes can tell the person lying just with their breathing and voice. But because of the mask tweaking his voice a little, she needs a bit more time to confirm it.

"..." Alex thought she would pursue this matter. But it seems she won't. Either she respects him, or she didn't believe him. Whatever the reason, Alex only wants to test her personality.

On the side, Lena grits her teeth while looking at him. She thought she could know something after asking her sister. But Evelyn seems adamant not to tell her. When she asked about it just now to Evelyn, Evelyn only answered with, 'Ehehe, Even Elder Sister and Elder Brother ask me about it. I won't give you the answer. This is what I promised to big brother Alex'

"Bam!"

With that loud sound, Alex's attention goes back to the green haired woman, it seems he has skipped the last strike. He sees Alvaro lying on the floor, unconscious. Of course, he is bleeding all over. The green haired lady only said. "Take that person away. He is only unconscious, he won't die like that."

Then she comes to Song Yu. "Senior Sister. I have finished the task."

"Good!" Song Yu nodded. Then she introduced Alex and Putri. "This is Alexander Sirius, hmm... a fine young man. She is Putri Wulan, She is also under my tutelage before my Master takes her as a disciple. But it seems she is very attached to me."

Alex nodded, "Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you" She greets back elegantly. That elegance seems has become her flesh and bone. Not that he cares, though.

"Then, we will go to my house after you collected your reward."

"Umm, Senior Sister. Can we postpone it?"

"Why?"

"I need to fetch my baggage in my room first. Then I also want to get a Martial Arts" Alex said. While adding, 'I also need to erase my array in my room.' in his mind.

"Oh, Sure. Then after you collected your reward. I will bring you to Himura Minami's house then to Martial Arts Pavilion. The Seventh Peak is along the way, after all. I can carry you since it is faster that way. Or should I personally teach you my Sword Art? I'm a sword user too, you know."

Alex is thinking about it, It is indeed beneficial that way. With the sect that has twenty peaks in the center, the sect sure is vast. It cost a lot of time to go from a place to another. Second, he can also have her become her shield when choosing a Martial Arts.

"Sure"

"Then, collect your reward first."

Alex nodded. He went to the previous elder.

"You are a good young man. I never thought a 4-Star Martial Master could get into the top ten. You have opened my eyes. The reward is 991 points. With that, I want to reward you another 500 points because you came here with the strength of 4-Star Martial Master, where usually people in there is 9-Star or 10-Star Martial Master. But don't be too proud Young Man. Keep striving forward. Don't make this achievement get into your head and hinder your path. But judging from your look, it seems the ninth position still hasn't satisfied you. Good. I'm looking forward to the next time you are here again."

"Thank you. Elder" Alex gets a total of 1491 points and with his original 904 points. His points are 2395. After receiving his points, he comes back to Song Yu and the rest.

"See you later, Big brother Alex" Evelyn waves her hand while Lena pouted like a squirrel.

"Yeah. See you later. Don't forget about our promise" Alex said.

"Huhu, You can come and visit us in my mansion on the Ninth Peak. A cute girl like you is more than welcome." Song Yu said while patting Evelyn's head. Putri Wulan didn't say anything but still give a slight nod.

"Un!"

After saying their goodbye. Alex and the rest finally flew away.
