The Messenger of Death

After Tsukishima's class ended, Adrian, Drake, Emma, and Katherine silently followed Camron and Alex to the guest inn.

"Eh, more visitors, you are famous." Xiao En mentioned when she saw the crowd that followed Alex here.

"They are my teammates." Alex cleared out, he didn't stay to chat or say anymore with the receptionist. They headed straight to the presidential suite...

"Alex opened the door to his suite and stepped in, the rest followed in right after him. They were stunned by the intricacy and beauty of the suite that they didn't have any words to say.

Emma only had her hands over her mouth to silence the screams she might make. Adrian stopped right where he was, too scared to step in, he felt like he didn't deserve to enter this kind of place.

Drake and Katherine had a more subtle reaction than their other teammates. As soon as they stepped in they started to take in the beauty of the place, nonetheless, they were also speechless.

"Sit anywhere," Camron said and snapped them out of the trance they were put into by the suite's beauty.

Alex walked over to the kitchen and made himself a cup of tea, not long after he came back to the living room with only one cup of tea in his hand.

"Hey, I thought you were going to make tea for everyone." Camron voiced out. "Do I look like I have the energy to waste doing that?" Alex asked and took a gentle sip out of his tea.

"Very hospitable of you Alex. I will be right back." Camron stood up and went to the kitchen to make tea for their guests.

['That wasn't nice of you Alex.'] Lex spoke up.

['Hey, I don't work for any of them, so I have no reason to make tea for them.'] He defended.

['It still doesn't matter, treat your guests' right next time.'] Lex insisted.

Alex only smiled at his alter's reaction. While they were waiting for Camron to get back, Alex was enjoying tea up until he couldn't endure the stares that Drake and Katherine were giving him.

-Chink!

He dropped his cup on a stool that was beside his chair. "What? Why are the two of you staring at me?" He snapped at them.

"No-no reason." Katherine blushed and turned her attention away. "Are you the owner of this place?" Drake questioned Alex.

"No, the school is," Alex replied.

"Who are you?" Drake thought out loud.

"Who I am is none of anybody's business, now is it?" Alex's reply was curt.

"Don't let today's victory get to your head. If our cultivations weren't sealed then you would be turned into a bloody meat paste." Drake sneered.

"Oh really? Do you still want to fight? If you do then know that I wouldn't show any mercy this time." Alex released his killing intent.

-Shoosh!

Everyone in the living room jumped into a defensive stance on instinct, they looked at Alex like he was a beast.

"Alex! Can't you try to be nice to people for once!?" Camron arrived in the living room with a kettle and cups on a tray.

"What do mean? I'm always nice to you!" He retracted his killing intent. "They are our teammates, we all should try to get along well. At least try not to threaten them with your monstrous killing intent." Camron sighed and proceeded to serve tea.

"You can all sit down now, don't mind Alex, his hospitable abilities are just like that of the receptionist down at the reception of the inn." He joked as he handed a cup of tea to the 4 of them.

Drake swallowed his saliva and thought; 'What have I gotten myself into?'

"Alright, now let us get down to business," Camron said. "There is no need to introduce ourselves since we already know our names right." He added.

"I will start by announcing the name of our team, as I registered it. We are known as the Seraphim team." Camron announced.

Alex who had been sipping his tea gently stopped and arched one of his brows as he looked at Camron. "Really? You named us the Seraphim team? You ret… You know what, forget I said anything." Alex returned to sipping his tea.

"What? You guys are okay with the name right?" Camron asked the rest of the teammates.

"Yeah." Adrian and Emma chorused. "I don't care about the name. Even if you named us sh*t, I still wouldn't say anything about it." Drake voiced his opinion.

"I'm okay with it," Katherine said quietly.

She had been throwing glances at Alex occasionally and blushing.

"Suit yourselves." Alex approved.

"Alex, do you… Do you have a girlfriend?" Katherine asked with her head bent, she had been blushing for a while now.

"No I don't, but what does that have to do with anything?" He didn't seem to mind the question.

"I was just wondering… If… I could be your girlfriend." Her voice turned high pitched as spoke.

"Huh!?"

-Cough! Cough!

Camron and drake choked on their tea. They looked at Katherine to see if she was joking. Adrian only had his brows raised and Emma blushed at Katherine's confidence.

['What the fuck? Is this how it's done? Or did I hit her head too hard?'] Alex thought.

['Hahaha, this is the strength of our handsomeness… it even attracts our enemies. After receiving a beating from you she fell in love.'] Al commented.

['What the hell Al!! you make it sound like I'm an abusive person that enjoys beating girls up.']

['Hey! It's not my fault that the girl is into such kind of weird fetish. I say it as I see it.'] Al said in defense.

"No, I don't want a girlfriend now, besides I'm only 15 years of age." He rejected her.

"Uh, Alex, I don't know if it's different in where you came from but here in the western continent you are already considered an adult at the age of 15."

['Can't this retard take a hint?']

"That's not my point. My point is that I don't think it's time yet." Alex countered.

"Oh," That was all Katherine said. "But doesn't mean that I don't have a chance. I will wait till you are ready."

Alex was surprised by her resolve. "Do as you wish, it doesn't concern me."

"Now gets back to what's important." Alex urged. "We need to earn MPs as soon as we can. So I suggest that we head for a mission tomorrow."

"We also want that, but most of the easy ones have already been taking off the notice board," Drake spoke up.

"Then we take a hard one and do it."

"If we pick a hard mission and fail to complete it, the MP set as the reward would be deducted from us. It's a risky thing to do. It's better to wait till an easy mission comes up again." Drake argued with Alex.

"Waiting for something good to land on your lap is a very foolish thing to do. You have to cross the distance to get it. Easy or hard we should take it." Alex retorted.

"I would have had more confidence in the crap that you are saying if it didn't come from the weakest in the group. If we take a hard mission, you would only drag us down."

"Say that again and I would make sure to thank you by giving you a face reconstructing surgery with my spear." Alex threatened.

"Okay, that's enough. Having a heated argument wouldn't do any good for us. Let's just head to the mission notice board and see what's left. Then we would decide if we are going to go for any mission by voting." Camron interjected.

They all agreed with his suggestion and left the suite.

…

Roughly 15 minutes later they arrived at their destination. There were quite a number of people gathered here, they were also waiting for a suitable mission to arrive.

"I guess everyone here is also waiting for a suitable mission to come up," Alex concluded after he looked at the notice board and saw that there were some missions up but no one wanted to take them up.

"Alex, Cam." Alex heard a familiar voice call out his name.

He turned to where he heard the voice from, it came from a female in a red uniform. "Sara," Him and Camron said at the same time.

"It's been a week and the two of you didn't even think of searching for me." She said as she walked closer to where they were.

"Sorry, sis." Camron laughed and apologized. "Apology accepted, but only because you are a handsome little brother." She said jokingly.

"And what about you Alex you are not going to tell me why you didn't look for me?" She turned t Alex and her smile got wider.

"Me, well I have been very busy." He said nonchalantly.

Sara sighed. "You really know how to make a woman smile."

"I assume that you are here to look for a mission to go on, right?" Sara asked.

"Yeah, but according to them, all the suitable ones have already been taken," Alex answered.

"Then why don't you join my group. The mission that we picked up is an easy one, but it requires a minimum of 16 people before we can be permitted to start it. In other words we have to do it with another group." She suggested.

"Really, how easy is it?" Camron asked.

"We are just going to map unmapped places in the Agelong forest and retrieve any alchemy ingredients we see. The more we retrieve the higher the MP we receive." Sara explained.

"How much do you want for the spot?" Alex smirked as he asked Sara.

Sara giggled. "You never fail to disappoint Alex, 2 green HD-ECs." She stated.

"What!!??" Everyone in the seraphim team but Camron exclaimed.
