Chapter 2302 Leaving Early

Alex stayed in the hall for two more days so he was back at his peak before he left this place. Aethersage needed around the same amount of time as well, and Killersky wanted to come along with them.

Since the tournament was shown throughout the world, they didn't feel too bad about missing out on anything. They could always catch it all back when they had the time.

Alex went by the other place where Momo and Pearl were staying. They had returned from the arena and were waiting for Alex to come get them.

"Master!" Momo said with an excited look. "Congratulations! You did amazing."

Alex didn't think he was as excited as she was. "Thank you. Do you want to stay and watch? Because I was thinking of leaving."

"We can leave," Momo said. "Since you are done with the competition, I don't see what the point would be the stay and watch anymore."

"I think little Momo wants to get back to cultivating as soon as she can," Pearl said from the side. "She hasn't had any time to rest for the past 3 weeks either, so she is quite tired."

"Oh... that's why I didn't feel so good," Momo said, finally understanding her own situation. "I was wondering why everything felt so lethargic."

"You still need to rest even as a cultivator," Alex told her. "I'll teach you about Intent and how using it up a lot can be troublesome."

Momo nodded.

Aethersage was talking to his disciple, a young black-haired young man. Next to him, Killersky stood alone. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Where is your disciple?" Alex asked her.

Killersky thought for a bit. "No," she said. "You guys go. I will stay here for a bit. Got a bastard to kill if he tries to come for me."

Alex looked at her weirdly. "You are talking about` the guy you started a fight with?" he asked. "Do you really want to fight him?"

"I gave my words. I don't do that so simply," she said. "Give me 2 months and a half. I shall meet you in the Trueflame continent in exactly those amount of days."

"Two and a half months," Aethersage mulled over the numbers. "In case we are late, stay around the Wineweed City. We will contact you when we arrive."

"Got it."

Alex and Aethersage finally left Hardrock city, making their way to the east from where they would take the teleportation formation to Rosefall city once again.

Along the way, they talked for a bit, explaining the situation of what exactly went on in the final minutes of the competition.

"I see. No wonder they took so much time tallying your points," Aethersage said. "Honestly, if I were you, I would have likely demanded a retest since they made the mistake."

"Yeah, I should've likely done something similar, but I just didn't have the time to think at all. Especially since I knew I was gonna get up high in the rank even when I failed."

"That's true," Aethersage said. "I wonder how our points will decide what happens overall. They did mention that it's not just the final competition that matters, right?" "All competitions, all points matter," Alex said. "I assume some competitions are going to matter more than others. Like I have no doubt they will care more about our ability to train future alchemists and find ingredients that are hard to find than our ability to make many pills at once. That is important too, but not as important in my eyes."

"I don't know," Aethersage said. "Sounds pretty important if you consider that there might be times when one needs to make many pills at once. My master said he had to do those sorts of things when he was a front-line Alchemist during the war."

Alex went over those words. "That's true too," he said. "Well, it doesn't matter what the points system is. All that matters is that we do the best we can in each competition, isn't it?"

"That's true," Aethersage said. "As long as we do our best, we won't have any regret. So, I'm going to do my best to win this whole thing."
