Alex sat there looking a bit surprised, "He had a call on his phone and as soon as he saw who it was from, He just ran away." Alex then stood up, put his hands on his pocket, and shrugged, "Well, Whatever, I can't know everything that's going on at this moment. All I can do is drift along with the wind as I try to get stronger." Ale walked into the hallway and smiled, "For now, I'll go back to the room… Nothing interesting is happening lately so I can probably watch some more documentaries on this world… I'll try to learn about their technology and nature… Animals here seem to be similar yet still have many differences." Alex mumbled.
He walked onto the train and headed to the hotel. Alex knew that he wouldn't be able to converse with Rachel in the reception as her shift was over for the day so He went straight to the room. Alex walked up to the door but noticed that it was partially open.
A slight sense of fear entered Alex as she slowly opened the door, not knowing why his door was open. 'I didn't leave it open… So someone else entered this room… I should do this, I'll go down and inform the security guards about this.' Alex thought this through and walked back to the elevator. He didn't want to risk anything.
A voice came from within the room, stopping Alex. "I would have punched you if you had entered the room. You made a sensible choice of not entering… If it was an enemy, They would have killed you or taken you away as soon as you entered the room for investigation."
It was Hana's voice. Alex smiled and breathed out in relief. He walked into the room and saw Hana sit on the couch. "Hello Hana, I'm surprised to see you here. From everything I've heard, you almost never use this room." Alex spoke.
Hana looked back at Alex and nodded, "That's true. I have my own duties that don't let me come here at night to sleep. And if I did, It would be a pain to go back and forward anyway. So I just sleep in my office. But I've already told you that before" her attention turned to the clock, "well, I guess I need to go now. I had something to do so I came here. I'll need to go now." Hana stood up and looked at Alex.
Alex noticed a small box in Hana's hands but he didn't ask about it. He looked at Hana and smiled back, "Well, I want to thank you for letting me stay here. I do feel a bit guilty and I feel like I'm taking advantage of your kindness… I think if I become an A rank in the future, I'll rent my own room so I won't need to use yours." Alex spoke.
Hana rolled her eyes and shook her head, "You can do that if you want but It doesn't matter if you stay here. I have my own things to take care of so I will most probably never use this room until my duties are done. Until then, You can stay here. It's safer here and it's one of the best places to live in this city. So I'd recommend you stay. The money cost for this isn't a big deal as well, I don't pay for this… This room was more of a gift to me. A gift I never wanted. But I won't go on explaining that for now. I'll need to leave." Hana picked up a purse and walked out of the room. "Bye Alex. Take care of yourself and get more powerful. I know you can." She said as the elevator doors closed.
Alex smiled and walked over to the couch, "She is very kind… But I'm curious, It looked like she was here for that black box. What was that?" He looked around but didn't see anything. "I shouldn't snoop around with other's things anyway. That's just creepy and bad." Alex smiled as he walked to the kitchen. He wanted to make some snacks for himself but he noticed something particular, "I did lazily leave some of my dishes uncleaned but they're clean now…" He thought back to 5 minutes ago and spoke, "Did… Did Hana do this?"
Alex was surprised by the thought. He smiled and laughed, "No matter how much I say this. The more I know about her, The more I'll probably say it… She isn't as harsh or cold as she acts with others… Doing the dishes left behind by someone else and not even yelling at them for it… She had the chance to yell at me or be mad at the dishes when she saw me but she did nothing…" Alex shook his head and went on to make his snacks.
He walked to the living room and started to watch documentaries. Suddenly, Alex heard some music. He looked back at his phone and picked it up, "Midnight?" Alex read the name. "Yup, Hello Alex." She answered.
Alex pondered for a while and spoke, "Hello Midnight, Is there something that you need to talk about? Did something happen?" He asked curiously, thinking about the meeting that Midnight and Imani had to go to.
Midnight spoke, "No, Nothing that particular. I just wanted to make sure that you were home. The training ended promptly cause of certain reasons so I'm sure that Oj sent you early after teaching a few things."
Alex nodded, "I'm in the room right now and I'm fine. You don't need to worry. You can focus on your mission if you need to. I can take care of myself." He laughed.
Midnight nodded and answered, "Well, okay then. Take care. I might not be able to make the training tomorrow but I'll try to. I'll be off now." She hanged up the phone.
Alex nodded and put his phone down. He looked at the tv and sighed, "I guess It's fine. Things seem to be happening recently and I think them being engaged in that meeting meant that something serious happened. I probably won't hear of it until it can be public or if I get stronger… Guess I have nothing to do for the rest of the day except lie around. I would have killed to go outside and explore the city but The restrictions won't let me." Alex sighed.
A few hours pass, Alex learned a lot more from watching documentaries. He turned to the news channel for recent news. "The perpetrators for the recent attack on the Countries head News channel have not been found. But Investigators are looking for any hints towards the terrorist group, Brotherhood of Freedom." Alex heard the anchor.
He sighed, "I can't do anything about that. Guess I'll just sleep and go to workout early tomorrow morning." He went to bed.
After a good night's sleep, Alex went got ready and went downstairs. He saw Rachel and spoke to her for a while. "It seems like your training might have been called off for today… Well, at least that means that you get to relax for a day, doesn't it?" She smiled.
Alex smiled back and nodded, " I guess so. It just means that I get to relax for today and get to training at full force tomorrow."
He walked outside and started the training just before the timer came. Alex went all out, he did everything as fast as he could. Without knowing it, Alex was close to beating the training.

Alex looked up at where the time was and roared in joy. He turned to his health bar and saw something surprising.

He looked very excited, 'Completing the training also gave me EXP… That means I can just quickly increase an attribute of mine and just hop right into the Hades challenge… I have a free day today. I would have waited till I was able to do the morning training every day but it seems like today is the perfect time for me to hop into Hades and get that weapon…' Alex walked into the hotel with a huge smile on his face.
Rachel looked at Alex and spoke, "It seems like you reached your goal of doing everything in an hour… That's scary for someone normal like me but for awakeneds like you, It's amazing. I'm happy for you!" She said in an excited tone.
Alex nodded and looked at Rachel, "Yeah! I have some plans of my own in my room today so I'll need to go up. I was waiting for this. I'll need to go Rachel. Bye!" Alex ran to the elevator.
Rachel looked at Alex and waved him goodbye. Alex went to his room and opened his attributes. "Here." He spoke as he touched his screen.
