BXBX NOVEL Chapter 85: Score
85 Score
Alex who didn\'t notice what kind of scene he created still looking toward the Ape. He is not thinking about the Ape or looking at the gruesome scene in front of him. He was in the process to comprehend what he just did. The new power by fusing power and speed.
After an hour he slowly opened his eyes. He let out a long sigh. He finished. When he looked at the gruesome scene in front of him. He pulled out a shovel and buried the Ape. After all, he was thankful to this Ape. The Ape helped him comprehend the Seventh Slash. After burying the Ape, Alex continues killing monsters in the perimeter. He mainly focused on the rank 5 monsters, but because the rank 5 monsters was a bit scarce, they were wiped out by Alex in a week. Then Alex continues by killing rank 4 monsters. Even though he can\'t get any mission points from that, he did it for gacha tickets. He didn\'t care about the ranking competition, after all, it didn\'t give him any benefit.
Two weeks have passed, the ranking competition ended. The students started to leave the forest. The scoring teacher started to announce each score that the students got and ranked them.
A female student comes to the teacher and said her name.
"Mili Ficta"
The teacher nodded, "23 rank 0 monsters and 7 rank 1 monsters, your points are 37"
The points were the same as the previous year. Rank 0 is 1 point, rank 1 is 2 points, rank 2 is 4 points, rank 3 is 8 points, rank 4 is 20 points, and rank 5 is 100 points
Mili was satisfied with her performance so she smiled smugly. The next students come in and shattered her smug.
"Mira"
"40 rank 0 monsters and 12 rank 1 monsters, your points are 64"
...
The scoring continued for a while. Alex finally arrived. Alex who just got out from the forest was very shocked when he saw Joshua who was defeated by him, standing in front of him. What a coincidence.
Joshua looked at Alex with a complex expression, The situation becomes awkward.
"Alexander"
Alex was surprised when Joshua called him, "Joshua"
"I don\'t know why but somehow I need to tell you this. When I lost to you that day, The \'Me\' inside my heart was broken. Sigh...The me in the past was too proud, Everyone looks up to me and praise me. I don\'t know when it started. My reason was clouded by my pride, I become arrogant and prideful. That day when I lost to you, I was very desperate. I become ruthless and cruel. This one year, I learned a lot. I apologized to the students that I hurt back then. Sigh... I make too many messes"
Alex was very shocked that Joshua was like this. He didn\'t know what to say so he just patted his shoulder.
"I wanted to say this, I\'m glad I lost to you that day. I will keep striving and I will take your throne, right...Fire Prince"
"Cough...cough" Alex\'s eyes widened when he heard that. Joshua\'s serious expression turned to a teasing one.
"Haha...I get you one for that. So... since you lost, can I make a request?"
Alex looked at him, Joshua seems already changed, so he said "What is it?"
"Can...can we become a friend?"
Alex\'s eyes widened, but soon he recovered, he smiled "We are already a classmate for a year. Why do you need to ask that? We are already a friend"
Joshua listened to that, smiled. "Then, Can I call you Alex?"
"Sure. I will also call you Joshua"
"There is no change to the previous one. I mean I called you Alex from Alexander, but you..."
"Haha...your name was like that, what do you expect me?" Alex grinned.
They laughed.
Alicia and Firia who was just out from the forest, saw Alex and Joshua laughing together. Alicia looked at Firia with a confused expression, while Firia looking at Alicia with a weird look. They thought the same thing.
\'Since when those two like that?\'
Alicia nodded at Firia and Firia nodded back. They approached them. "Alex"
"Alicia, Firia"
Before they say anything, Joshua bowed toward Alicia and Firia. "I\'m sorry Princess Alicia, I was rude to you back then. You can punish me as you fit"
Alicia was bewildered, she looked toward Alex weirdly.
Alex knew why she becomes like that, after all, he was like that too just a few minutes ago. He then nodded giving confirmation to her.
Seeing Alex nodded, she then looked toward Joshua "Don\'t worry about it, I don\'t really like royalty\'s formalities anyway. Even though I am a princess, I don\'t want to exert my status that much. I rather going hand to hand with my subjects. You have changed Joshua and I never hold a grudge from back then. So please rise, I\'m waiting for you to make this kingdom to be better"
Joshua was surprised by what he heard. He clenched his fist and put it in his chest and looked at her with determination "Yes, definitely"
This is the reason why Alici seems never exert her status when someone disrespected her. All of them are her precious subjects.
Alex and Firia smiled from the side. But suddenly they heard a commotion.
A male student walking toward the teacher. While he walking, he heard many praised toward this person.
"Edward Maelstorm"
Alex confused, he then asked the three "Who is him?"
Alicia and Firia facepalmed, while Joshua was confused. Alicia sighed and answered "He is Edward Maelstorm, I heard he was a son of Marquis. He is a first-year and a rank 3 warrior, he was placed in class A and defeated the number one in class S but the problem is his age. He is almost 20, that means, he was in the last acceptable year."

"Oh... but I didn\'t saw him in last year enrollment" Alex said confusedly.
"Yes, he must wait for this moment. He must be planning to enroll in his last year so he can grab all the attention away. Though his potential was so-so, his \'Current\' power was real"
"Oh...like that guy huh...who is it again?...ga...gebu...gatu..." Alex tried to recall the name
"Its Garu, Garu Tekuis. He was unlucky because he is in the same year with the three abnormal" Joshua corrected him.
"Three abnormal?" Alex\'s eyes widened.
"Me, Alicia, and Joshua" Firia said.
"Oh..." Alex nodded.
"You are not classified as abnormal, you are freak" Joshua added.
Alex stumbled when he heard that. "What?"
They laughed.
Meanwhile, in the scoring place still bustling with people.
"Wooo"
"Rank 0 thirty, rank 1 one hundred one, rank 2 two hundred twenty-four, rank 3 seventy, and rank 4 four. Total points are 1768 points"
"Wooo"
"That\'s right, Edward is our pride, our first years\' pride"
"Keh, he is too old for that"
Some of them praised him and some of them sneered at him. After all, It\'s true that Edward already too old. If you think his age and his achievement, they were only mediocre.
Alex and the rest walked toward the scoring place. The crowd noticed four of them.
"Look, they have come"
"The first ranker of second-year, Joshua Fergusa"
"The twin beauty of the academy, Princess Alicia and Firia Merona"
But when he reached Alex, cheers erupted. Especially from the female students
"Kya..."
"Male God"
"Fire Prince please look this way"
Edward who was looking at this scene was angry. When those four come here, his previous glory was forgotten. Even the female students that cheered for him immediately cheered at Alex and forgot about him. His stomach become awful. He then walked closer to the group and glared at Alex hatefully.
"Senior Alexander, I heard you are the pride of the academy, I wanted to compare the score with you. But...would Senior Alexander grace his time for this lowly me."
Firia and Alicia were tired of this kind of scene. They just facepalmed, and pray for this foolish one. Joshua suddenly comes beside Alex and patted his shoulder. Alex looked at him.
"Let me go first. He seems didn\'t know that your score last year was above two thousand"
"Sure" Alex nodded.
Joshua walked toward the teacher, as he walked he said this to Edward "Don\'t be too complacent, I was like you last year. Those pride of your might crushed you and lead you to your death"
"You! You are just a loser, you can\'t be a first rank in second-year if he participated in the ranking." Edward shouted
Joshua sighed and shook his head, "Well, that\'s true. I\'m still not giving up for that, I\'m just trying to advise you"
Joshua then looked toward the teacher "Joshua"
"Rank 0 Forty-three, rank 1 one hundred seventy, rank 2 two hundred, rank 3 ninety, and rank 4 twelve. Total points are 2143 points"
"Hiss"
Joshua\'s score was far above Edward. Edward felt his cheek slapped hard. He then sneered "You...you are a second year, so it\'s normal. I can beat you in my second year"
Joshua who heard that shook his head bitterly, this Edward was really... He looked toward Alex and the rest. "Princess Alicia, Miss Firia. How about you two come first? This guy might bring trouble if he went first, we might not be able to report if he went first."
Alex was dumbfounded. Alicia and Firia giggled, "Sure"
"Who are the first?" Alicia asked
"I\'m first" Firia said.
"Firia"
The teacher nodded, "Rank 0 sixty, rank 1 one hundred fifty, rank 2 two hundred twenty, rank 3 eighty-five, and rank 4 twenty. Total points are 2320 points"
"You next Alicia"
Alicia nodded and walked to the teacher "Alicia"
"Greeting Princess" The teacher greeted her and announced her score "Rank 0 sixty-one, rank 1 one hundred forty-nine, rank 2 two hundred twenty, rank 3 eighty-six and rank 4 twenty. Total points are 2327 points"
Since she hunted together with Firia. They split the monster equally, so their points didn\'t have much difference
Alicia and Firia smiled and went toward Alex. "You promised if our scores were above you, you need to take a break for a week"
Alex giggled then gently smiled "Talk after you win"
"Kyaa!"
"Male God"
"My Fire Prince"
Alex walked toward the teacher and smiled "Alexander"
The teacher pulled out a memo and said without expression. "Your points are Zero"
