"Hey, Yuno. Since when did I teach you to kneel in front of your oppo."

  "I..." Yuno opened his mouth to say something.

  "It seems you're sg your training, huh? Well, let's talk ter." Alex walked from behind him and stood in front of him. "Are you the one who hurt my brother?"

  "And what if I'm?" Mars said in his usual tone. He created several jewel es in an instant.

  'Crystal Creation Magic: Army of Talos Puppets!'

  "Wha...!" Kus gasped. "He made so many at the same time?!"

  "Mimosa..." Noelle looked at Mimosa with .

  "I am ashamed to be seen like this... You were right, Noelle. I did mess up big time." Mimosa slightly furrowed her brows from the pain as she healed herself.

  "Yeah, you were always like this. That's why... This time, I'm going to protect you." Noelle used her water creation magic to form a water barrier around Mimosa.

  "Noelle..." Mimosa broke out into a beautiful smile.

  Alex stared at Mars and said in an unusually cold voice. "Hmm, you sure had some guts for hurting my brother."

  The voice sounded so cold that it sent shivers to everyone who heard it. Even Kus, Luoelle, and Mimosa felt a chill run down their spine.

  'What?... What's this pressure? It's not magic! But I have never felt something like that before.' Kus's legs trembled as he fell on his butt.

  For the first time, Mars's expression ged as he furrowed his brows. He could feel that his oppo didn't have high magic but his sense was giving him danger warnings.

  Alex's figure blurred as he disappeared from his spot.

  'Where did he go?' Mars was surprised as he was uo keep up with his movements.

  Suddenly, a powerful forded on his fad the only thing that came into his view before losing sciousness was the roof of the dungeon.

  Asta grabbed Mars by his fad smmed him to the ground, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the floor.

  "What the?..."

  "Oh my, he's so fast!"

  "Now, I really want to fight him."

  "Just how... how could a enter like him have such power?..."

  Alex ignored Kus's harsh ent and said. "Hey four-eyes, stop daydreaming and use magic to bind him."

  Kus was startled by his words and immediately used his steel magic to create a steel coffin to bind Mars.

  "Alright the's see what this treasure vault holds." Alex nodded and walked over to the big gate, back to his usual self.

  "Hmph! Since we got here first, we won our little bet, but...! I'll allow you to ehe treasure room first!" Kus pushed up his gsses and said in a low voice.

  'How are we supposed to get in?' Kus's face revealed his thoughts as he stared at the huge gate.

  But before anyos, two sshes hit the gate f a path for everyone.

  A golden light fshed from inside, making it difficult for them to see inside.

  When the light faded a light, a big room filled with gold, ons, scrolls, and artifacts came into their view.

  Alex ignored everything as there was something more important present ihis duhat he wanted. He found the Demon-Dweller with Nero's help before paying attention to others.

  Yuno found the scroll for the Wind Spirit, Slyph.

  Just as both of them received some new kind of spells in their grimoire, the dungeon started falling.

  "Hey, look out." Luck shouted as a huge stone fell on Noelle and Mimosa.

  *Whoosh*

  A flying ssh cut the falling stone in two just in time.

  "It's not safe here. Let's get out." Alex shouted at them. "Yuno, take everyo of here."

  "But what about you?" Yuno asked with .

  "Don't worry. I'll be just behind you." Alex said with a fident smile.

  Yuno nodded and summoned a little boat made of wind to carry everyone.

  Just as everyo, Alex sighed and said loudly. "You guys take him and leave from the right side. Straight ahead, then turn right, the and you'll be out."

  He then stored the gold and remaining items inside his iory before leaving the duoo.

  He heard a small voice when he was leaving. "You're iing little fellow. Thank you!"

  When he came out, he saw Kus hugging Yuno and apologizing for his rude behavior before.

  The group said farewell to each other before back to their respective squads' headquarters.

  ...

  A day after the dungeon i. Alex went to his normal life in the mearaining as always.

  Luck challenged him ond got his ass beatey badly. After that, no one dared to piss off the newer of the squad.

  And when Alex asked them to not disturb him during his training, everyone agreed, well except Yami.

  Alex had made a habit of daily doing exercises despite Eden not giving out the quests anymore.

  He was training in the forest when he perceived the aura of a person approag in his dire.

  Normally, he had asked everyone in the Bck Bulls to not disturb him while he was training so he stopped his training and looked at the ining person.

  After a few seds, a silver-haired beauty appeared in his view, looking somewhat nervous from her expression.

  "Hmm, what brings you here, Miss Royalty?" Alex asked.

  "Well..." Noelle nervously fidgeted with her fingers.

  Alex stared at her and said. "You know I don't have the entire day, right?"

  "Uh?... this... actually... I..." She stuttered even more.

  Alex sighed and walked over, standing a few feet away from her, hitting her forehead with a flick.

  "Look, if you want to ask me to train you then don't. What you ck is not training but fidend self-trol! And that's something only you achieve it."

  Noelle looked down as she grabbed the er of her dress. "But I... I 't..."

  Alex stared at her for a few seds and sighed. "Fine. I'll help you. But you will do whatever I tell you, okay?"

  "Yes." Noelle nodded her head with aremely serious expression.

  Alex had no idea why she asked him but since she wanted his help, he would try his best. But it didn't mean he was beile or anything, he just thought that this way was more effective to tease her than the direct approach.

  Alex nodded his head auro his position. "Now then, you will attack me with your water magid every time you miss, I'll punish you by spanking your butt. So, if you want to improve then hit me with everything you got. We'll go with ten times each. So begin!"
