Gacha Sovereign
chapter-81

After the dean left the courtyard, Alex looked toward Sherry intently. Now she was already a rank 6, he can't lose to her.

"Sherry, let's change. I'm going to eat the pill now" He said as he walked to Sherry

"Wuu" Sherry left her spot and went toward Alex's previous spot, they exchanged spot

Alex sat down as he prepared himself. After a moment, He eats the Quenching Fire Pill. The pill melted in his mouth. As soon as the pill melted inside his mouth. A Dense of energies burst out from within, the dense energy started to flow to all over his bodies. Soon enough, the energy trying to fuse with Alex's flame.

The fusing took a few seconds, what shocking the most is when the energy fused completely. It burst out with his flame outside.

"Boom!" Alex flame gushing out from his body. The red-colored flame kept rising, reaching almost ten meters high. After the flame can't rise any longer. It started to spread toward its surroundings. 1 Meter...3 meters...5 meters... the fire stopped when it reached the length of 15 meters, the length was three times higher from Sherry.

With a red-colored tyrannical fire that rises up to ten meters high and 15 meters in diameter, although people can't see the bright flame from outside because of the wall, the bright red light that brought by the flame caused this courtyard very noticeable from the surrounding area. Many people looked toward the bright red light that brightens up the academy.

People in the city were very astonished by the sudden red glow from the academy. From a whisper to a shout was heard.

"What is that?"

"Is the academy planning something? Will there be an event?"

"I don't remember there is something like this last year?"

"Then, Are they going to hold a new event?"

"I don't know, after all the academy still on holiday right?"

"Yes. Maybe, there will be some event in the next enrollment? It will be held in a few days after all. There are already so many people gathered in this city. They wanted to enroll in this academy"

"Yes, my daughter also registered for the enrollment"

"Eh...wait the light started to shrink"

...

The dean watching this scene, facepalmed. He knows what kind of commotion this phenomenon made. He also can't stop Alex from this process, After all, Sherry was also like this. He started to think of an excuse for this phenomenon

Alex felt his flame that gushing out from his body was very free. The flame was like eating a stimulant after fusing with the pill energy. They jumped out from one spot to another within 15 meters radius

Soon, the pill's energy compressed the flame.

"Ugh" Alex started to clench his teeth in pain.

When the flame started shrinking, he felt pain all over his body. The flame was a part of his body so when they are compressed, he felt like his organ was pressed with an invisible force. the process was very painful. This is also why Sherry screaming in pain when she reached this process.

"Agh!" Alex refused to let out a scream, he continues to clench his teeth in pain.

The shrinking speed was slower than Sherry, After all, their flame attribute was not on the same level. Not only that, his flame was spread three times longer than Sherry.

An hour...

The flame keeps shrinking, while Alex still in silence. After this one hour, Alex started to get used to the pain. Though the pain that the process gives not become lesser. Alex can easily withstand the pain.

Another hour, Alex flame almost disappeared, only the flame that covers his body that still remained. Sure enough, after a couple of minutes, all of the flames were nowhere to be seen.

Reaching this stage, Alex started to feel comfortable. The pain was stopped and the warm feeling started to fill him. He checked the flame inside of his body. The dense red-colored flame becomes a translucent red flame. though it becomes like that, Alex felt this newly translucent flame was even more tyrannical than his previous flame.

The newly compressed flame wanted to release all of its power to show the world its prowess. It started to run through every inch of his body and gushing out at the same time.

"Boom!"

Exploded. Alex flame gushed out from his body. The more tyrannical flame brighten the academy once again. This time the people can clearly saw the form of the bright red glow because the flame rises to one and a half of its previous height. It now rises to fifteen meters with a radius of 20 meters.

The citizens can see this translucent red flame. they were captivated by its appearance, the flame beautifully blazed in the middle of the academy, like an immortal flame. It shines the academy with its translucent color.

Contrary to the citizens, the mage, especially those who had a fire element, wanted to kneel in front of this flame. this was an element suppression. All of them were shocked by this, especially for the new students who have a fire element and wanted to register in the academy. This feeling of suppression makes them looked at the academy with a fiery feeling.

'This is the Acacia Kingdom Royal Academy'

Because of this incident, the Acacia Kingdom Royal Academy's reputation went through the roof and reaching a new height.

...

Alex who still sitting on the ground was completely ignorant of what kind of scene he made. After all of the flame exits his body, his mind feels refreshed. He enjoys this new feeling for a while. He then slowly opened his eyes.

Surprised with his own flame, he immediately tried to retract the flame. the flame gradually dimmed down. Alex then sighed with relieved.

He looked toward his surroundings, he burned half of his teacher courtyard. The previous beautiful courtyard ground, become pitch black. He felt guilty inside. He asked Sherry to follow him.

Then he went to dean's office, "Teacher"

"Sigh... You really love to make a commotion, aren't you?"

"Ugh" He wanted to deny it but the word stuck in his throat. Not because he loves to make a commotion, he just somehow made it even though he didn't like to be the center of attention.

"Don't worry, I will just release some announcement to cover all of this incident."

"Announcement?" Alex was surprised.

The dean nodded, "Yep, Announcement. Just say that we make some research on fire magic. Though the power was powerful, it was a failure because there are many setbacks and not possible to use it practically. Though the suspicion would be cleared. I'm sure, the other kingdoms will send some spies to confirm it, as long as you did not use it for a while. They will give up soon enough"

Alex thought for a bit, though the reason was a bit rough, he confirmed that the reason was pretty useful. He nodded, "Thank you Teacher"

"Well if you are done, get the other two to eat the pill as soon as possible so I can repair my courtyard as soon as possible" The dean said.

"Yes, I will inform them now" Alex left the room.

"System how strong am I now?"

Alex was shocked by his new status. It's already a long time that he checked his status. The change was very big. The last time he checked his status when he was Early Qi Gathering Stage. Now he already passed two-stage. But what shocked him the most is his Job. He got two new jobs, one is Flame Ruler and the other is a forger. He knows what forger mean, after all, he learned it from his teacher. But for this Flame Ruler...

"System, what is this Flame Ruler?"

[The same with your 'Sword Saint' job, the requirement is your pure element Host. After you use the pill just now, you got the job]

"The same with my 'Sword Saint' job? You mean, it gives me a boost to comprehend about flame?"

[Yes]

"Hmm... I'm curious. Last time, I asked teacher what is the function of the 'Sword Saint' job. He just said it will give me a boost to comprehend the way of the sword. But is that really it? I mean, if that only the effect, wasn't the gap between normal jobs and high-level jobs was pretty insignificant?"

[Ask your teacher, not me]

"..."

"System, are your mood down at the moment? What happened? "

The system ignored him.

"Oi... System" Alex tried to call the system again and again but to no avail. He then sighed and continued walking.

He went to Rizertia's house after all the academy is still on holiday. It seems that Firia was visiting the house.

Alicia invited him in.

"Alex, do you know what happened just now?" Alicia asked

"Just now?" Alex was confused.

"A big flame appeared and when the second flame appeared, I felt my flame become submissive" Firia said

Alex facepalmed. This was his doing. "ugh..."

"Alex, you know what happened right?" Alicia asked worriedly.

"Sigh... It was a pill. The pill made my fire stronger, but...for the detail, you can observe it later" Alex answered. He then took out a pill and give it to Firia "This is Quenching Fire Pill. It will make your fire stronger, but the process was painful. So I'm asking you whether you wanted to..."

Before Alex finished his concern, Firia already took the pill from Alex's hand and answered him determinedly. "I will"

Seeing the determination in Firia's eyes, Alex nodded and turned to Alicia. "This last pill was for Elder Sister Mia, I wanted to ask you to call her to Teacher's courtyard. Because I don't know where is she..."

He hesitated, "I will search for her and give it to her myself"

He somehow felt guilty to Alicia, he didn't give anything and he even wanted to ask her to find someone...

Noticing the hesitation, Alicia smiled gently as she took the pill from Alex's hand. "It's alright. I will search give it to her now since she was in the garden now."

Alicia took the pill and left.

"Alicia"

Alicia halts her step. Alex then continued, "Umm... I still gathering the ingredients, when they ready I will give you a pill for an ice element user since this pill was only for a fire element user."

Alicia smiled, "Don't worry, I'm not the old me. As long as I'm with you, I don't care about that."

As she said that, she left.

Alex was somehow dumbfounded hearing that. Firia's expression somehow become complex.

...

After Alicia gave the pill to Mia, Four of them went toward the dean's courtyard. The girls were very shocked when they looked at the pitch-black ground. Alex can only scratch his cheek embarrassedly.

The first who took the pill is Firia. The process went the same as Sherry and Alex. But the flame gushed out from Firia was not comparable to Alex or Sherry. The flame was spread around two meters from her body. Alex also noticed that the pain was various for each people. That might be because of the flame ferocity. The process didn't take too long, only about fifteen minutes.

After Firia finished, Mia's turn comes up. Her process was similar to Firia. After they finished, Alex told the dean and they went back to Rizertia's house.
