Although a little surprised by the sudden quest, Alex still maintained a calm exterior, however, when he saw the penalty, his expression couldn't help but turn weird and it did not go unnoticed by the two girls that were with him.

"What's wrong Alex?" Alice asked with a hint of worry in her voice. She thought that the change in expression Alex had was somehow related to the gate they were going to enter, Ann's face also mirrored Alice's expression.

They knew Alex was very mysterious and strong, he also knew many things and was very knowledgeable, so, the first thing that came to their mind after seeing him stop just before they were about to enter the gate was that something was wrong with the gate.

"Oh, nothing. I was just wondering how lucky I am to be entering a gate alone with two beautiful girls." Alex smiled a little and spoke after realizing his mistake.

His words, however, caused both Alice and Ann to blush furiously while looking down, too shy to meet his eyes after he complimented them.

'Why?' He asked in his mind as he could hear Sophia trying to hold her giggle for the reason he knew very well.

[The mission is far too easy for your level and you will also get SP from killing the monste-] Sophia's words were cut off before she could continue.

'You know that I didn't ask that from you, right?' Alex spoke with a groan and Sophia finally started giggling, not trying to suppress it anymore.

Alex knew what she was talking about and he didn't have any problem with that as the rewards provided by the system were still generous. He would get 120 SP just by killing a single B-rank mob and 200 for an A-rank mob. As for the boss and mid-boss, it depended on them.

[Well, it was the system that did it, but it doesn't matter, right? Or are you saying you are going to fail this mission?] Sophia asked with an infectious giggle.

Even though she knew that Alex was not going to get the penalty, just the prospect of Alex doing a cabbage patch made her giggle.

'Sigh... Yeah, there's no way I am doing that penalty.' Alex sighed; he was feeling mentally exhausted even before entering the gate.

Before they could understand or think something.....

*Slash*

Their surroundings turned silent as they heard the sound of something being slashed.

"AUUUUUUUWWWWWW!!"

They turned toward the howls and saw the jackals that were stealthily moving towards them were now running away in fright while their tails were tucked between their legs. Just from the way they howled, anyone could tell they were scared shitless.

Then both of them turned toward the direction where the jackals looked again and again while running with all their might. They kept looking in the same direction as if to ensure something or to check something.

They were stunned when they saw Alex standing there with Noctura on his shoulder and a jackal with his head cleanly shaved off his body below his feat. They could see a normal-looking silver sword with a black hilt that he was holding making them confused about where he got that from.

They couldn't even feel when he had moved there and killed the jackal, much less follow his movement. Ann felt a chill run down her spine as she remembered how she thought of testing Alex when he entered the guild, it wasn't only her, even Alice was a little scared even though none of it showed on her face.

Just then they saw Alex turn towards them and their bodies tensed a little, but then they relaxed as they saw Alex smiling gently at them. They smiled as well, they tended to forget who he was and that he would not harm them, still, who could blame them?

In front of power, everything is useless and everything about Alex screams power, so, it is natural for them to feel a little scared. When they are by his side, they don't think much since they can feel his warmth, but it is when he moves away from them that they start having unnecessary thoughts.

"Are you guys coming?" Then they heard his warm and gentle voice.

"Yes."X2

Both of them replied and moved towards him with a smile, they decided to ignore the fact that the guy who was smiling at them right now had the power to kill them in a second since they knew that was never going to happen.

As they reached by his side, he smiled at them and rubbed their heads gently which they accepted without any resistance. Alex could feel their fear since he had been observing their expressions and he knew that it was natural to get a little scared since they hadn't known each other for that long.

But he would not let them distance themselves from him just because of this, he was going to print it in their minds that he was never going to harm them.

As Alex ended patting their heads, suddenly Noctura jumped down from his shoulder surprising everyone present, but the next event was more surprising for the girls, though not that surprising for Alex.
