Alec smiled as he observed how much he had grown these few days of external training where he is free to kill bad guys,

Without hesitation, he quickly allocated the 22 available points to his agility rank, bringing all of his stats to over a hundred points.

Upon making these changes, Alec felt a slight itch in his muscles, particularly in his legs and hands. Despite this sensation, he was otherwise feeling strong and okay as there was no serious pain like the previous time.

”Back to zero, I guess,” Alec smirked as he looked at his available points, which had finally reached zero after so long, he sighed and went to the skills tab to inspect a set of skills he has abandoned for long.

When Alec first saw the list of exercises he had to complete in a week, he was initially happy that the numbers had been reduced.

However, his mood quickly changed when he saw the daunting tasks ahead of him, he face palmed himself, realizing he might have to rely on his blood Changdao more than ever now that the Blood reaper requirements have increased.

But then, he discovered the reason why he was able to seamlessly incorporate various weapon skills into his attacks.

It was because his weapon skills had already reached the maximum level in basic mode, so this revelation, made Alec realized that he had been using his weapons without putting much effort into checking the levels of weapon mastery he had learned, all he knew was that they were levelling up.

He was taken aback by the gift he received at the end of it all though, : techniques .

The maximum level of the basic weapon mastery felt like it equated to ten years of training for of other weapon masters.

As every time he held his weapons, he felt as though he had been wielding them for years, even though that wasn’t true.

Alec recognized that this remarkable progress was only achievable due to his system powers, although he hadn’t delved into the origins or mechanics of his system.

Nonetheless, he was grateful for the constant support it provided, and the fact he had it if not he would never have reached where he had gotten to today.

”Master, your student badge,” Legion’s voice interrupted Alec’s thoughts as he pulled his laser spear out of the chest of a dead priest.

Alec glanced down at his student badge, witnessing a slow transformation unfolding before his eyes.

As he raised his student badge to his face, Alec observed the emerald green colour being devoured and replaced by a deep navy hue.

The dark shade of blue, reminiscent of the deep ocean or a night sky, enveloped his badge completely.

The deep navy colour exuded a sense of richness, timelessness, and sophistication, it was at this moment that Alec realized his promotion from the commander rank to the prestigious captain rank has happened, and he has done all this while being in the Tier 3 Mage Realm, prompting an exhilarated outburst of laughter from him.

The previous revelation of him being a commander had been quite shocking to the other student mages, due to the fact that he was only a Tier 3 Mage and he was given command over about ten other Tier 3 Mages who were in the same realms as him.

Alec couldn’t help but wonder about their reactions upon learning of his promotion to captain rank now.

Even while he was still in the Tier 3 Mage Realm, Alec now possessed a level of authority comparable to that of the Tier 5 mage experts at the academy, as he could have ten different commanders group under him now.

As he looked ahead to his return, he could only imagine the surprises and reactions he would encounter from his fellow students.

The captain badge, intricately engraved with his name in navy, ignited a desire in Alec to emulate the smug demeanor characteristic of higher-ranking officers.

”Let’s move out, next stop: Sweden City!” Alec commanded, his golems swiftly clearing the battlefield and sifting through the possessions of fallen Priest mages for anything valuable.

# Underground Viewing

Edward W. Dunce’s gaze remained fixed on the water screen displaying Alec, his teeth clenched in frustration.

”He actually did it, ascending to captain rank while still being in the Tier 3 Mage Realm, What kind of extraordinary individual is he?”

Edward had grown bored watching Alec sleep previously, so he shifted his focus to the other screens where he observed the other mages undertaking one final mission before rendezvousing in Sweden City, the designated location for their upcoming first external training session.

As the mission was essentially a mock exercise to evaluate their ranking, Edward was engaged in monitoring the activities on the screens.

While, the lady with a scar on her face remained fixated on Alec, having observed him the longest, she had familiarized herself with his tactics and combat proficiency, and was more interested to seeing Alec’s final moment than watching anything else.

When she mentioned Alec’s promotion to captain rank, Edward was taken aback.

Turning his attention to his battle screen back, he arrived just in time to witness Alec swiftly dispatching the Bishop by thrusting his Bone Katana into the Bishop’s skull.

The deadly display of Alec’s prowess, with lifeless bodies and golems strewn around him, made it clear to Edward why Alec had preferred to handle his mission alone.

As Alec was indeed a force to be reckoned with, a formidable one-man army alone.

”Why didn’t you notify me at the start of the battle?, Enlarge the screen and display the ranking details,” Edward demanded, driven by a burning curiosity about the unfolding events.

The lady responded with a cold shrug, effortlessly enlarging the screen showing Alec.

She deftly repositioned the smaller screen and brought the ranking details into view as Edward continued to command.
