“How dare you betray us like this?” Claire looked at Alexander with hatred
Alexander couldn't help but sigh
He completely forgot about these two
But he expected to face a reaction like this when they met
That's why he prepared something to solve the problem before it got worse
Alexander wanted to approach her, but the sword Claire was carrying made it difficult
“Can you put this sword down?” Alexander pointed to the sword
"Do you think I'll let you go easily?" Claire raised the sword at Alexander
"..." She doesn't intend to stab me with that thing, right?
“Listen to me, please...” Alexander raised his hands. "Weren't you the one who agreed to help me?"
“Don’t make it seem like I agreed to have you throw me off the cliff—” Claire stopped talking when she saw someone forcefully open the door.
Alexander felt a powerful aura behind him
He turned around hesitantly to see Agartha looking at him with cold eyes, holding a spear and looking like she was ready to kill someone
“Miss Agartha...” Alexander smiled awkwardly
"Did you think I didn't find out that you were the one who buried those explosives inside the cave?" Agartha approached him
“I didn't mean for this to happen to you, it was an unintentional mistake,” Alexander quickly justified
"And what about pushing me into the abyss? Was that an unintentional mistake, too?" Claire approached him as well, standing completely beside Agartha
" What's going on?" Instructor Christina entered the hall to find that there were two girls carrying weapons and they were surrounding a person
Are they fighting over a boy or something?
No, wait a minute, it's Alexander, he seems to have created a new problem
You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.
"Go back to your place. The lecture has begun." Christina went to her desk and sat down
Claire and Agartha looked at Alexander fiercely and returned to their seats, grinding their teeth
Alexander's body relaxed and he returned to his seat
“Today we will have a small test,” Christina began distributing papers to everyone
“Every warrior has his own fears, and you must overcome these fears. The first step to overcoming them is to share them with others. Please answer these questions honestly.”
Alexander read the first question
'What do you hate most?'
Alexander smiled when he saw this question. The answer was already ready in his mind as soon as he read the question
|
That's easy... Alexander muttered as he moved on to the second question
'Why do you hate this thing?'
|
'What is the second thing you hate the most?'
|
'Why do you hate this thing?'
|
'What's the worst nightmare you've ever had?'
Alexander shuddered when he remembered this terrible dream he had in his previous life
He forced himself to write: |
'Can you overcome your fears?'
Alexander paused for a moment to think
Frankly, his deepest fears were those entities that had haunted him in his previous life
After thinking for a full minute, he simply replied |
Facing the Great Ones?
You've got to be kidding me, I'd rather shoot myself than fall into the hands of those monsters
'Have you gotten into a fight in the past?'
Alexander raised his hand
“Is there a problem, Apprentice Alexander?” Christina asked.
“It's about asking about a battle in the past. May I know what you mean by past?”
“...” The students stopped writing and looked at Alexander
What's so incomprehensible about this?
“I mean anything before this moment,” Christina answered patiently
Alexander nodded. In this case I think my previous life also counts within this range
|
'Did you win that fight and how did you feel?'
|
'What is the reason for this feeling?'
Alexander didn't know why that question existed in the first place
|
It may be a rude answer, but it is appropriate for this stupid question
Alexander got up to hand his paper to Christina and had to wait in line because Christina was discussing each student with their answers.
After five minutes, it was almost Alexander's turn, and there was still one student in front of him
“Claustrophobia is relatively common. This will be a problem because the next test will be inside a dungeons so we should try to fix this problem.” Christina looked at the student and said with understanding.
The student nodded and returned to her seat after a few words of thanks
Alexander gave the answer sheet to Christina
Christina took a deep breath to prepare herself for what would happen
She started reading Alexander's answers slowly, but couldn't help but stop in the middle and look at Alexander blankly
She expected that Alexander's answer would be unusual, but what he wrote was beyond anything she had imagined.
“Alexander...” Christina's tone was emotionless. “What exactly is your problem with engineers and pigs?”
"...." We did not agree that I should narrate what happened
Alexander didn't know how to explain it
After a few seconds of thinking, he decided to explain very simply. “It was an accident that happened in my childhood. I got into a fight with an engineer and a group of pigs.”
"...." What kind of childhood did this person have?
The students waiting in line looked at him strangely
Christina rubbed her forehead
How should she help Alexander overcome his fears?
Should she make him punch an engineer?
Well let's start with the easy thing. Christina's tone softened because she knew the sensitivity of the matter. “Do you want to eat some pork?”
Alexander's face turned pale and he put his hand to his mouth
He remembered the army of pigmen that the Engineer had led to invade Earth
After seeing those creatures, even he who was considered a foodie would not dare to touch pig meat
“...” Christina’s lips twitched
She did not expect that Alexander, who would not hesitate to strike anyone, regardless of his background, and who defeated Lily and stood face to face in front of the Sword King, would be afraid of something like pigs
