BXBX NOVEL Chapter 290: Leaving
290 Leaving
"Alright. We are not going to force you. You can continue." Bazza said.
Alex nodded his head and proceeded in drawing the Pollen Illusion Array on the floor.
Alex used the same method to make it. After he finished drawing it, Alex then showed it to them by activating it. Alex\'s skill was impeccable in this, and they could only leave praise on his expertise.
He then made the Array Plate. He didn\'t take a long time before he completed his work. But surprisingly, after he made this array, his body was fully covered in sweat. His mind felt a bit heavy as it seemed he used a considerable amount of Mental Energy to make the Array plate this fast.
From Alex\'s perspective, he realized he could only make two Array Plate a day. But, he didn\'t have any plan in selling the array plates as he thought selling the pills was enough for him.
"You are truly good, and we are honored to have you as one of the Array Masters in this guild." Bazza came to the front and stretched his hand for a handshake.
Alex also smiled and shook his head. "Elder overpraised me."
"I believe the other elders have the same opinions as me," Bazza said while looking at Olaf and Stig, who nodded their heads. "Then, you are officially a bronze rank 4 Array Master. I really wish my disciple could learn something from you."
"Ahaha..." Alex only smiled at his praises.
"Jonathan. Come here." He called the glasses guy back to the room.
"Yes!" Jonathan came hurriedly.
"Go get the bronze rank 4 Array Master Badge."
Jonathan was surprised to see Alex had passed the test. He couldn\'t believe someone this young managed to become a rank 4 Array Master. If he said it to other people, they would brand him as a liar.
"Why haven\'t you moved yet?"
"Ye-yes!" Jonathan ran again hurriedly. He didn\'t know whether he was happy or sad about this information. After all, there was such a young rank 4 Array Master.
"How about we chat a bit more, err..."
"Redna, Redna Xela. You can call me with that name." Alex said with a smile.
"Good. Mr. Redna, how about we chat over tea after this?" Bazza asked. He didn\'t call Alex without honorifics since both of them were rank 4 Array Master. Although, because of his contribution, he was a Golden Rank 4 Array Master, it was only a matter of time for Alex to reach Golden Rank 4 Array Master or even higher.
"I\'m sorry. Elder Bazza, I need to go back as soon as possible. Maybe next time." Alex said.
Bazza became a bit disappointed.
Jonathan came back with a bronze badge and handed it to Alex respectfully. The badge was a pentagram, and there were four stars on it.
"This is my student. His name is Jonathan." Bazza realized he never introduced him to Alex.
Jonathan became nervous when his master introduced him to Alex. Even though they looked like they had the same age, Alex was far more amazing than him.
Alex tapped his shoulder, "A journey ten thousand miles starts with a single step. Persist no matter how long and no matter how hard the path is. I won\'t say your hard work will be rewarded or not since I am a nobody to you. But I will say this, as long as you try, the chance is never zero. Just believe in yourself."
Jonathan\'s eyes brightened after he heard Alex. Bazza said hurriedly, "Why are you not thanking Elder Redna\'s teaching?"
"Thank you, Elder Redna."
Alex was startled when he suddenly became an elder. He was too young to be called Elder... except Elder Brother, of course.
"I am just too young to be called Elder. So, you don\'t need to call me, Elder." Alex just shrugged his shoulder.
"No can do. People with skills are respected, no matter how young he/she is. Only fools are ignorant enough not to respect someone like that."
"Well, I think it is time for me to go," Alex said.
"Jonathan."
"Yes!" Jonathan immediately guided Alex to the door. Alex seemed to make a certain distance from an elder like him. Still, he should not be like that to the same generation, so he let Jonathan accompany Alex.
[Host, you need to think more about that name. You can say you are Jack or whatever, but you choose that name. What the heck with Redna Xela. You just make your name backward.] His system teased him.
"Shut up. It is only for one-time use."
Jonathan led him to the exit, but before they reached the exit. A familiar figure appeared in front of him. The young girl had pink hair tied into a ponytail. Her appearance seems to be the same age as him. Modest curves, she appeared to be a carefree and willful young girl.
She came with a young man with long dark blue hair. Just from his expression alone, Alex could see that this man was arrogant. He was unsure whether it was from his ability or his parents, though.
"You... You are Alexander!" The pink hair girl shouted in surprise.
"Elder Su Hua\'s granddaughter," Alex said. To be honest, he forgot her name.
"I have my own name, Su Yue. How can you call me like that! What are you doing in Hua Town? You must be regretting your choice and come to beg my grandfather to be his disciple?" Su Yue said with a smug face.
\'Is a woman this annoying?\' Alex wondered. But that thought disappeared after he remembered Anna. This Su Yue must be a special case.
"Junior Sister Su Yue, do you know this person?"
"This is Alexander. Back then, my grandfather is gracious enough to let him be his disciple. But he rejected it. Such a fool. He is nothing compared to Senior Brother." Su Yue said. She then introduced that person to Alex. "Look, he is Grandfather\'s new disciple, Senior Brother Toran. He is thirty years old and a low rank 3 Alchemist."
"I\'m not as talented as Junior Sister Su Yue. You are a twenty-two years old high rank Alchemist. You will overtake me sooner or later."
Alex looked at both of them. This Toran seemed to be a 3-Star Martial Grandmaster while Su Yue was a peak 1-Star Martial Grandmaster. He shook his head disappointedly.
"Why are you shaking your head?" Su Yue narrowed her eyes while Toran seemed to be offended. Su Yue was still thinking without her grandfather\'s support. Alex would still be a high rank 2 Alchemist.
"I think you should apologize to Eld-" Jonathan wanted them to apologize to Alex. Although he was confused why they called him Alexander, it was rude to ask Alex about it. So, he wanted to reprimand them for offending a Rank 4 Array Master.
But before he could say it. Alex tapped his shoulder again. He said while walking, "Let\'s go."
"Elder Redna... Why are you-"
"It\'s fine. It is better to practice your skill rather than bothering yourself with those kinds of talk." Alex said casually. Jonathan didn\'t dare to say anything since Alex had spoken so.
"You...!" Su Yue was angry.
Toran didn\'t talk again. He suddenly disappeared from Su Yue\'s side and approached Alex. He was going to attack Alex.
Of course, Alex felt Toran approaching him.
He only turned his body around, uninterestedly. Watching Toran attack him with his fist that was covered by fire. Alex only put his hand forward to block this fist.
The fist completely blocked by Alex. Alex didn\'t even do anything special. Alex was not bothered with the flame, and his raw strength alone was enough to stop this fist.
Toran\'s and Su Yue\'s eyes widened in shock. Back then, Su Yue could completely say Alex was weaker than her. But this time, Alex could even overpower Toran.
"Remember the last sentence your master said?"
Jonathan pondered for a moment before his eyes brightened. Alex must mean, \'Only fools are ignorant enough not to respect someone like that.\'
Alex shrugged his shoulder while saying, "This is the example. I hope you don\'t become something like this."
Toran didn\'t know what Alex was talking about, but he felt offended by it. After his fist was blocked by Alex, he sent a kick to him.
But before that, Alex gripped his fist tightly before spinning him in the air. Alex then sent a normal kick to blow him away. His raw strength alone was high enough to beat this guy.
Toran crashed on the receptionist\'s table, where he met Jonathan for the first time.
Alex gave Jonathan his Pollen Illusion Array plate. "This should be enough to compensate for it. Alright, bye."
After Alex gave his gift to Jonathan, he disappeared without giving Su Yue, Toran, and Jonathan a chance to react. He complained in his heart, \'I should just use my mask here and abandon that identity after that. Sadly I can\'t use it since the Zhou Kingdom might hunt me without my mask.\'
"Who dares to make a ruckus in the Array Master Guild?" Bazza finally came after he heard the breaking table sound. He looked at the broken table and Toran, who was struggling to get up. He also found Su Yue.
"Jonathan, what happened?"
"Erm..."
"I am Su Yue, the granddaughter of Mount Hua\'s sect third elder. Just now, the person he brought kicked my Senior bro- I mean, Mount Hua\'s sect third elder\'s disciple and escape."
"How dare he! I will tell Master to kill him," Toran shouted.
When he heard about that, his expression turned to dark. He had been treated Alex carefully, so he didn\'t have any displeasure with the Array Master Guild. But it had been ruined by these two people.
"Only fools are ignorant enough not to respect a person with a high skill." Bazza cursed.
"Elder said that too, Master. He also gave me this Array Plate as the compensation. This is not elder Redna\'s fault because they are the ones who started first." Jonathan told him Alex\'s last message before he left.
"You can keep that. It is only a table. Try to learn from that Array Plate." Bazza said to Jonathan.
Bazza then released his Spiritual Energy.
Su Yue and Toran immediately misunderstood him. They thought Bazza wanted to help them to chase Alex.
"I hope Elder Bazza helps us to settle our grievance."
But surprisingly, they suddenly floated in the air and couldn\'t move their body. Bazza used his 8-Star Martial Lord spiritual energy to restrain them.
"Sure, I will settle this grievance," Bazza said. Su Yue and Toran were happy when he said. But Bazza said something unexpected, "By sending you back to the sect."
"Jonathan. I\'m going to have a chat with their sect master and Elder Su Hua. I leave the reparation to you."
"Yes, master."
He then flew with these two.
"Elder Bazza, why are you bringing us back?"
"That person is going to escape. We need to chase them."
"You want to kill him? You should pray for your well being first. I have a mountain of scolding for you two, but I will let Old Su do that." He snorted and ignored them.
Soon enough, they reached Elder Su Hua house. It was similar to the traditional Japanese house. Because he was well known and familiar with the area. There was no one to bother him by visiting Su Hua.
Of course, with such a huge presence, Su Hua immediately noticed it. When he appeared in front of his house, he was surprised to see Bazza come while using his Spiritual Energy to restrain his granddaughter and disciple.
"Old Bazza, why are you coming to my house? And why do you restrain my granddaughter and my disciple like that."
"It was that Alexander, Grandfather. He beat Senior Brother Toran." Su Yue immediately shouted.
"Old Bazza, what is the meaning of this?" Su Hua turned his head in confusion. He was surprised to hear that name again, but this was not the problem.
"Well... How do I say this without mixing my anger? Hmm, you can just say these two have offended my guild, rank 4 Array Master. So, I thought about bringing them to you first, so they didn\'t need to face my wrath (?)" Bazza said.
"What?!"
