As such, he began exercising regularly when he could. However, he wasn\'t the only one in the academy who was fond of working out early in the morning.

The sun has yet to completely show its face, yet more than a hundred students could be seen all around the campus, running around, some of them chatting, some of them heading toward the gym, and some towards the arena.

Soulforge Academy was huge enough to not look crowded despite having so many students around.

Alex began running toward the entrance of Soulforge Academy. Up to a certain boundary, students were permitted to roam outside, and given the natural beauty around the academy, Alex preferred to do his morning run outdoors.

Last night he received several platinum plates from Devon, which was a reward from the King for saving his daughter. Alex initially expected this reward to be granted to his shitty parents, but now that he thinks about it, the news of them abandoning him must have reached the Majesty already.

\'But still hundred platinum?\' One platinum means a hundred gold coins and two of them is more than a year of wages for a soldier. And he received it for saving the Princess, even though Alex was just venting his anger.

Well, not even once he thought of returning the reward.

"Hellllllooooo!" Suddenly someone approached Alex from behind and began to run at his pace.

It was an unfamiliar face with round glasses and a sweaty forehead. She has short brown curly hair and a pair of emerald green eyes.

"Who are you?" Alex asked in between his slightly ragged breaths.

"Can we stop and talk? This is important." The girl insisted, seemingly reaching the limit of her stamina.

Since Alex had already run quite a distance, he nodded and came to a halt, allowing the girl to stop as well. She planted her hands on her knees, breathing heavily as she tried to catch her breath.

Alex wiped his face with the towel he brought along and asked again, "Who are you?"

"I am...haah...Miguel, first class, second year. I wanted to take your interview for the article I am writing."

Alex raised his brows, "Article?"

The girl, Miguel, raised her face before nodding, "Yep! I am a member of the newspaper club and want to publish some facts about the boy enshrouded in rumours."

Alex asked, "You know you have to please your client when looking for a scoop right?"

Miguel grinned, "Do I need to compliment my senior\'s skills or how hot he looks with all this sweat clinging to his body?"

Alex rolled his eyes, "Listen, Missy, I don\'t have time to answer your questions so excuse-"

"Alex!" Suddenly, a third person entered the conversation, urging the two to look at the advancing figure of a blond Princess.

Unlike Miguel, this girl looked as though she might collapse at any moment; her face was flushed bright red from all the exertion.

Miguel grinned and took out her notepad just in case as Celestria finally arrived before the duo.

"Y-You are quite early today." Celestria greeted while barely able to talk.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Alex felt it was a mistake to come out today. He couldn\'t even get to sprint around without getting disturbed.

"If you aren\'t accustomed to running, why even try?"

Alex\'s question made Celestria flinch as she hurriedly denied him, "Y-You are wrong...I-I have been training seriously recently and run around the school three ti-um...two times at least before breakfast. Yes!"

She was lying, or at least hiding the truth.

Alex heaved a sigh, "If that\'s the case, see you-"

"Wait!" Suddenly Celestria held his hand firmly and said, "Please hear me for a moment. This is important."

Alex felt he heard the same thing recently only to be told something completely rubbish. However, since he promised Edric not to avoid her completely, he nodded, "Just a minute you got. Let\'s go there."

He gestured toward one of the resting benches since it didn\'t seem she would be able to remain standing for long.

Left behind, there was a wide grin on Miguel\'s face as she finished writing the perfect scoop for the weekly article.

Once sat, Celestria took a deep breath. After she collected her nerves, the first thing she asked was, "How are you?"

Alex raised his brows, "I am doing good as you see."

Celestria smiled, "You look different from before...and for you to actively get involved with others makes me happy."

Celestria remembered how she had always encouraged Alex to socialize with others, knowing she couldn\'t always be by his side. In the past, Alex had no other friend besides her, which had worried Celestria. But now, she was relieved to see him comfortably talking with others too.

A little too comfortably.

"Alex, I want to apologize to you," She finally began, "I know a simply sorry won\'t heal the scar I have created in our relationship, so let me extend a token of my apology to show my sincerity."

She suddenly pulled out a scroll and extended it toward Alex.

Truth be told her heart was beating faster than a horse\'s at the moment. Edric suggested her to use this method to get on his better side, however, Celestria was unsure if this would work. Considering Alex\'s personality, he might not ever talk to her again.

However, much to her shock, Alex suddenly snatched the permit and unfolded it.

His eyes lit up upon reading the content that allowed him to participate in raids actively. In short, it was an experience certificate which he could use at the guild to get himself a labyrinth appointed.

\'Perfect~\' Having the funds now within his reach, all Alex needed was a way to gain as many Soul stones as he could. And with this certificate he could actively raid and earn.

Celestria hopefully asked, "So...can we have dinner today like old times? Please?"

Alex shrugged, "Sure."

Saying so he got up. Celestria beamed with a smile, too excited to remain sitting.

However, suddenly Alex halted in his path and told her, "Celestria, although I have accepted your apology, remember that we can never get back to where we were before that night. The Alex you are looking for is forever gone."

Celestria\'s eyes widened as she turned stiff at her place.

Receiving no response, Alex continued to walk away from her, leaving a crestfallen Celestria behind.
