Everybody was shocked to the cores not with the cores....
The guild master calming down a bit and spread his mana around.
"1151 rank 4 cores and 139 rank 5 cores. The total is ..... Yuna help me" Bernard said, this was too big number for him.
"Yes guild master, the total is 4,843,000 copper or 484 gold coin and 30 silver"
"That's my Yuna, you really good with number" Bernard praise her.
Yuna was embarrassed.
"And the score..." Alex turned to teacher Farida who was shocked to the cores...or shocked with the cores...or maybe both...whatever. well the rest was the same though. Since Bernard and Yuna already saw an exaggerated thing come from Alex, they can calm down faster.
Alex tried to awake her. After a while Teacher Farida recovered embarrassedly.
"Ahem... the points are 36,920 points. Since you haven't submitted any cores previously so that is your total score. This....this score..." She took a long breath "This score will become a highest score from academy was built. The previous highest score was only around eight thousand points and he become the strongest academy's dean back then, but you..."
"Thank you teacher" Alex scratched his head.
After a while, Firia and the rest start to recover. They noticed Alex rank 4 cores, and Alex already give his cores to them. that means his total rank 4 cores was above 1300 cores. 'What a Monster' 'What a Freak' This was what on their mind.
Bernard was sweeping Alex's cores silently. He also thought this little monster Alex and sigh. It seems his good friend, grand duke get a super son-in-law.
"I still want to go to dungeon after three days" Alex dropped a bomb.
"Please Not!" Teacher Farida snapped.
"..." Alex was speechless, "But teacher, the examination still proceed."
'No no no, that's not the point here' Everyone snapped on their mind.
"..." The room was silent
"Sigh, since we are done here. Let's clean up, do you all have any other need?"
Everybody shook their head, and left.
After they went out, Rery and the rest bid goodbye to them.
"Alex" Firia tugged his arm.
Alex look at her, then he turned to Alicia, "I'm sorry Alicia, can you go ahead?"
Alicia looked at Alex then at Firia, she nodded.
"Alex" Firia said.
"Yes"
"Do you hate me?"
"No"
"Do you hate me? Is it because of me that Alicia was injured"
"No, it's not your fault"
"Why...why..."
Alex sighed, he thought for a while and decided to tell the truth "I was engaged with Alicia"
Firia heart now in pain, tears start forming on her eyes "Why... It is an arranged marriage right? Why ?"

Firia bited her lips, she beat Alex chest "Do you love me?"
"I thought of you as a friend"
Firia tears streaming down, "Why...Why..." she keep saying 'why'
Alex sighed again, "There was a boy, a silly boy, the boy have a girlfriend. He work hard to get what she want. There was a time, she want something expensive so the boy work really really hard. Even when he was sicked, he endured the pain and continue working just to get money to buy her a present.
When her birthday come, the boy come with his 'expensive' present. But that also a fated day as well. On that day, his girlfriend betrayed him with his best friend. He thought the world is already over for him. But the heaven still give him a chance.
The boy want to change his life so he work hard to get stronger. There is a time, when the boy somehow meet a girl. He save her. After that, they journey together, fighting together, as well as quarreled with each other. The girl didn't care with the boy status nor with her own status even her family not. They started to get closer, the boy want to overcome his trauma so he want to slowly developed a relationship with the girl.
But an accident happened and the girl life was undetermined. That was the turning point of him. He want to slowly developed his relationship, but what if the girl wasn't there anymore..."
Firia was still crying as Alex tell her his story. "That girl is Alicia and the boy is you right?"
"..." Alex keep his silence. Even with his silence, she already knew the answer.
"I really envy her, why is she was the one who meet you earlier"
"..."
"I now think, I really can't beat her in your heart."
"I'm sorry" Alex said.
"You are the person who seems only want to marry when there is love"
"..."
Firia continued "Is there a possibilities for me in your heart"
"..."
Firia bited her lips, "Polygamy is normal in this world, and with a capable person like you, having a multiple wives is common, so I won't give up. Even I can't beat her and become number one. I'm fine with number two, knowing your personality, you will divided your love equally"
"I..."
Firia hugged Alex.
"..." Alex froze
"Please let me like this for a while longer"
Alex look at her, he keep still and didn't pushed her away.
After a while, She asked "Can we still keep being friend?"
"Yes"
"Can we still keep acting as usual, not be awkward after this?"
"Yes"
"You promise?"
"I will try my best"
"I won't give up. You hear it!"
"..."
After a long while, Firia released Alex, she seems calming down a lot. She asked "Shall we go back?"
"Yes, Let's go back" Alex nodded. but Alex add "About the story...please keep it a secret, especially to Alicia"
"Alicia didn't know this?"
Alex nodded
Firia become a bit happy, "Then I'm the first who know this right? Don't worry, I won't tell anybody. But I never thought you have this kind story..."
Alex sighed.
"Well, never mind. Let's go back. Though I want to say, That woman must regret her decision" She said.
He recalled Sandra personalities, he shook his head. He didn't want to recall her in his mind. "Let's head back"
He secretly hoped Firia's feeling will diluted as time pass, he still hold monogamy from Earth in his heart as the norm.
...
After they arrived at the inn, Alicia come to him.
"Alex... how about we strolling around the town tomorrow" She asked embarrassedly.
Alex gently smiled at her, "Sure"
Firia cut in, "I want too"
Alicia pouted in, She look at Alex desperately.
"How about we all go together the day after tomorrow?" Alex asked.
"Fine, you two can go together first" Firia pouted.
Alicia blushed and Alex scratched his cheek.
...
After Alex go to his room, he go straight to his system
"System, I want to recycle all my items, except my cauldron"
Since all of his items was recycle before when he want to save Alicia. Now his inventory was only a bit left.
[Processing]
[Gacha Ticket x5 Acquired]
"5 huh..."
"What is the new thing after your update?"
[For Tools gacha, Host might get any rank 3 or below weapon if host lucky enough or something like low level cauldron that host get. As for techniques gacha you might get any intermediate skill/art, and as for material, you might get high rank material]
"hmm...Then I might as well use it on techniques gacha. System put all them in techniques gacha"
[Processing]
[Basic Sword Art x1]
[Guitar Skill x1]
[Sanguin Sword Art x1]
[Weaving Art x1]
[Basic Spear Art x1]
"..."
"Guitar skill? I don't even heard there is any guitar in this world, why am I even get that kind of skill. Just like a Piano skill back then...! Look! There is even a Weaving art... are you going to make me weave a sandal or a shoes?"
[Host, the system basically give you a random thing. Even System can't control what is out from the gacha. Look Host, you got an Intermediate sword art]
"Hmm... you are right, seems my luck was good this time"
[No host, the one who have a good luck is System]
"... what good luck!. You are a system, can you even have a good luck. Obviously I am the one who have a good luck"
[Host, my name is Good Luck gacha system. It literally cheering you by saying 'Good Luck' but another mean is I am a gacha system with a Good Luck. If you read it]
"...." What with this logic all about.
"No, I was the one who lucky this time."
[Host...]
"No, I don't care with what you system said. I am the one who was lucky and that's the end"
[...]
"Hehe...Love you system"
"Alright, Let me check this Sword art first"
He take out the Sanguin Sword Art.
"Sanguin Sword Art, a sword art focusing on slashing movement, for that the user need speed. There are a total 15 slash that producing a sword wave. That means 15 sword wave. The more sword wave I produced within a single movement, the stronger it is. That means I need speed for this movement. But I can't try it here. I will try it when I dive to the dungeon again. I might as well try to get gacha ticket again, I might get another intermediate art again"
[You just lucky this time host]
"... Can't I hope for something!"
Alex sighed, "I can try practice this sword art with 50th floor boss. Since only one rank 5 monster spawned at that floor, it will give me a good practice partner"
