"Try to form a good relationship with him. There's seems something big behind him. It might also be the reason why he didn't fear the Thiveapia Kingdom."

"Brother?" The one who was shocked the most by those words is Lena. After all, she was infuriated by Alex. To be told to put it off and try to befriend him. She can't accept that. On the contrary, Evelyn didn't mind about it. It can also mean that he can play with him since he didn't put her royal title in his eyes, in other words, all his actions are genuinely from his heart, not because of his fear of her status. She nodded happily, "Un!"

She suddenly coming toward Alex, "Big Brother, I win. Can…can you call me by my name?"

Normal people can't see the truth behind his sword wave. From all of the people present, only the Third Elder can see the truth behind his Seven Stars Cut. In fact, he is the winner. But Alex actually didn't mind after seeing the earnest expectation in her eyes. Alex smiled a bit. "Sure, Nice to meet you. Evelyn."

"Un!" Evelyn nodded innocently. "Then, I will also call you, Big Brother Alex"

"Sure, I don't mind"

"Evelyn!" Lena can't accept this.

"Good, Evelyn" Timothy nodded satisfied. He looked at Lena, who can't be convinced for the time being. He can only slowly advise her and make sure that she won't do something excessive to Alex.

From a lie and misunderstanding of Elder Conn seems to make a perfect cover for Alex, who is alone in this world. It is an ideal start for him.

"Ahem! The test has ended. Those who have gotten their tutor, your tutor will bring you and explain everything to you. Those who weren't lucky enough, please follow me. And also, this is your disciple token" The third elder gave each student a wooden token.

"Thank you for your hard work, Third Elder" The senior disciples salute to him one more time before they left with or without their disciple. Alex also bowed to him showing his thanks.

Himura Minami grabs Alex and Kenshin and flying toward her own residence. Alex asked with a poker face, "Why do you drag me too?"

"Hmph! This is my Master's order. You are lucky enough to be picked by me. So, you need to make pills for me."

"Fine, I can make pills for you." Alex said

Himura Minami shocked by it. She thought when this brat suddenly become generous? But she becomes frustrated again once she heard Alex's next words.

"I will sell it to you with 50% more of the market price."

"You!" Himura Minami decided to teach him a lesson when they've arrived.

"Hmph!" Alex snorted.

...

Not long after, they finally reached their destination. The mansion is in the foot of a mountain peak. From the outside, this house looks cozy. It has been built with bricks covered in render and has white wooden decorations. Large, octagon windows add to the overall style of the house and have been added to the house in a very asymmetric way.

The house is fully surrounded by overhanging wooden panels. The building is rectangular shaped divided into four separate courtyards.  Each courtyard is surrounded by a modest garden, covered mostly in grass, a few flower patches, and a small pond. Its purpose seems to make the dweller comfortable and creating a perfect and calm environment for the disciples.

Himura Minami finally explained. "This is the seventh peak, it means, Master, The Seventh Elder's peak. Master's house is at the top, and we can't go there. If he wants to teach us, he will descend and go to our home. If not, there is a training field on the other side. He usually used it when he taught us, the disciple of Seventh Peak together. But most of the time, the field is used for Arena.

As for this house, there are four courtyards in the house. Inner disciple or Core Disciple can only take two disciples under their tutelage. Each of you will get one courtyard. And the last courtyard is for a meeting room. Kenshin, you take the one beside me. And this brat will take the one beside you."

"All right. I also don't want to take the courtyard beside you. Aunty" Alex said mockingly.

"You! That's right. Since you are under my tutelage. It's time for practice. This talented me will grace you a lesson."

"Ptui, you are not qualified to teach me."

"You!"

"And you better not enter my courtyard. If you ruin the atmosphere there, especially when I am refining a pill. I'm going to charge you ten times the prices. If you are not going to pay it, the debt will go to Kenshin automatically." Alex said.

"Hmph! Who wants to enter your filthy room."

"Don't fight. We should look at the room, first" Kenshin finally stopped them.

"That's right. How can I forget about that. I lowered myself to this brat level. Let's go Kenshin, I will show you your room." She dragged Kenshin away.

"Bro-con!" Alex snorted. Then, He went to his own courtyard. The room itself is very spacious. He can do many things inside this room. There are four rooms in total. A living room, two bedrooms, and a storage room along with the yard itself. Alex is wondering what to do with all those rooms. And what is confused him the most is...Why are there two bedrooms?

Alex shakes his head. "Living room...I will leave it for now. As for the two bedrooms, I will use one for my bedroom. As for the other one...I will change it to my training room. I will draw a Gathering Array inside. Because I was restricted by the cultivation stage. I can't make any Rank 3 Array, I need to improve my cultivation faster. At least, I need to be at least 7-Star Martial Master to master the Rank 3 Array completely.

I can also make a simulation room for 3rd Rank Pill since to make 3rd Rank Pill's ingredients need a Rank 3 Simulation Room. That means I will put the 'Simulation Room' in the storage room. And lastly, the yard is for training."

Alex opened the second bedroom. He took out Master Stage Monster Blood. He used the Spiritual Energy to draw the symbol pattern. Each movement is swift and precise. Alex is familiar with this. There is no obstacle for him to make any Rank 2 Array. If his cultivation has reached 7-Star Martial Master stage. The first thing he will master is the Rank 3 'Simulation Room.' He will make two Simulation Room. One is for his Array practice, and the other one is for his Alchemy Practice.

After he succeeded in making Spiritual Energy Array, he decided to test it first. The moment he activated it, the Array started to absorbing the Spiritual Energy from its surroundings. All of it began to concentrated inside the Array. Alex stops it after he makes sure that it is functional. After all, If he continued, others might be noticed the change in the Spiritual Energy in the air, and his identity as an Array Master will be busted.

He decided to use its other function, which is to increase the absorption rate from the Spirit Stones. And to sustain all of that, he will go to the town again to make pills, but this time he will cover his face and so on. He will make his identity mysterious. Though it was for later. For now, he will absorb the Fire Spirit Pills first.

"Summon" He took out Anna's card and summoned her.

"Young Master"

"I finally have a private space. This is our new home. I wanted you to follow the Leoz's progress along with the information, I want you to compile it into a book. If they are a particular place, note the monster's power along with its description. If it's a town, the same as before, all the power inside the city, if possible, with their description. Tell Leoz, don't push himself too hard." Alex said.

"Yes, Young Master. That's right, Young Master. Please check your Mission."

"My Mission?" Alex perplexed. He checked his Mission panel. And she is right, there is a completed mission.

[Hidden Mission: Do something unprecedented (Complete)

Reward: 3x Dart]

The moment he saw the mission, he knew what he did to complete the mission. He learned the essence of Seven Stars Cut. But he thought at the moment, He also learned both of Spear Intent and Sword Intent. It seems that he wasn't the first one. After all, it was pretty rare for someone to master two different weapons. He can understand if both of them are sword or spear. But, he uses a spear and a sword at the same time. It was very taxing to practice both of them at the same time.

(AN: Your Previous life is the first one lol)

But because of the reward, he didn't care about it. After all, he finally gets darts. This is the most convenient method to get an UR item. He immediately claimed it and used it.

He was brought to the previous white space where he used his first five darts. The darts, along with its assistant, has been waiting for him. There are three common, two uncommon, two rare, two SR, and one UR, a total of ten rewards. Alex skipped all of them and only looked at the SR and UR ones. After all, he only has three darts, and it fits perfectly with the number of prizes.

The UR has a bow drawn on it while Spear and a...face? He was unsure, whatever it is, he will still get it since it is an SR item.

He throws the darts one by one. He didn't want to repeat the same mistake like when he throws it for the first time, he adjusts his strength carefully. He remembered the first time he played this one, he destroyed the roulette plate.

[Bow Mastery (UR) -  Passive Skill]

[Lonely Skiver (SR) - Rank 3 Spear]

[Faceless Mask (SR)]

Alex was a bit disappointed to get Bow Mastery since he didn't use a bow. He thought about something, "System, can I use it to other people?"

[Yes Host]

'As expected'. He thought of giving this to other people, but the problem is who... maybe he will get a disciple later. But who knows, he decided to store it first in his Inventory. He looks at the next item, Lonely Skiver.

Almost two meters width of unique crimson-colored handle. It seems that the handle made by a particular type of metal. The top end has a fairly long and wide compared to the standard spear. The sharp blade makes the weapon not only can stab, but it can also slice the enemy. But, Alex is thinking another matter. Now that he has another spear. He is planning to enhance one of the two spears with Elemental Orb that he got in the lower world.

Alex checked the next item, Faceless Mask. Only this one that he needs to check the information from the system.

[Faceless Mask

Effect: Blur your aura and hide your cultivation (Can only fool Martial Lord or below)]

His jaw dropped unknowingly. It is the perfect item that he needs for now. Although it is only useful for Martial Lord or below. From the start, there are not many Martial Kings on this continent. So this is the perfect item in this continent and very useful for his plan.

Since there are four kingdoms, he thinks if there is a war between the two kingdoms. He wanted to become a mercenary. There are many benefits to it. First, he can get paid by a kingdom. Second, He can farm EXP and Gacha Tickets while killing those soldiers. Since they are indirectly become his enemy, it won't make his karma bad. Third, He can make his 'Spirit Nest' famous. And with this mask, he can openly show himself with just his spear. This is another reason why he chooses not to use his Spear Intent openly. Others won't doubt him who uses a sword when he used his spear and his Spear Intent.

After checking once more and there seems no other missions has completed, he asked Anna. "Is there anything more, Anna?"

"There...is another one" Anna seems a bit hesitant to tell him.

"What is it? Just tell me about it."

"I've leveled up since yesterday. It means I'm now equal to 2-Star Martial Master."

Alex wants to smile but can't make himself to do it. "I...I am very jealous right now. Can I just level up like you? If I have the ability to level up, I can just hole myself in someplace and kill those monsters, and finally go out when I'm strong enough. I'm very sure that I can raise my cultivation faster."

After a while, Kenshin suddenly knocked on his door.

"Alex. The Seventh Elder wants us to meet him in the fourth courtyard. It seems that he is going to explain everything about Heavenly Sword Sect."

"Yeah, you can go first. I will catch up in a moment."
