Death Guns In Another World

Chapter 158 - 156: Prelude To The Banquet

While Alex was lost in thoughts planning to rob the poor soul that would dare mess up with him clean, Silveria on the other hand was feeling frustrated, all of her honey traps and even provocation had failed.

Suddenly, she saw her master smiling, she felt a shudder running down his spine, she prayed that it was not her Alex was planning to deal with. 

''Silveria, can you tell me Elseria's level?" Alex suddenly asked startling Silveria, she composed herself before saying. 

''At least Saint Realm.''

''Saint Realm huh?! It's to say between Rank 13 and 14. The gap is too far apart. I need to work harder.'' Alex said resolutely.

Seeing her master's resolute face, Silveria sighed thinking it was a good thing to be so motivated.

''Sil, let's go eat. Alexandra just informed me of dinner being ready.'' Alex said while getting up. 

Silveria followed behind as the two arrived at the dining room.

''Welcome master, second mistress.'' Anna bowed when she said Silveria accompanying Alex, even though she was surprised by Silveria's sudden appearance, she chose to not probe, it was none of her concern to begin. This silver beauty was not simple as she seems, Anna's instinct was screaming at her to not mess up with this silver beauty, she was scared, even so, she hides it not showing anything on her face.

Silveria did not care about Anna's feelings as she was currently dissatisfied being called the Second mistress, however, she knew nothing could be done even if she were to throw a tantrum. 

Sitting on Alex's left while Gracier was on his right, the three started to eat, the dinner was delicious. Silveria must say, Anna was a pretty capable cook, the food was delicious than the one they ate at the Moonlight Inn. 

After they finished, each left for their rooms while wishing Anna good night. Silveria whispered into Alex's ear, ''Master, I'll visit you in the middle of the night.'' 

''What?" Alex asked not knowing what Silveria was planning to do, maybe another one of her honey traps? Unlikely, shaking his head Alex started thinking about the possible reasons for this visit, having found none, he dropped the matter and went to sleep.

Deep in the night, Alex abruptly woke up and to find himself standing in a dark world. 

''What? How did I end up here? I thought I was sleeping in my bed inside the Blue Haven Villa?" He said confused.

''Correct you are still sleeping inside your bed. Just your conscience came here.'' 

Alex heard a sudden voice, it was Silveria's voice, her figure appeared shortly after.

''Silveria, what's the meaning of this?" Alex glared at Silveria because he possesses the Night Vision and his senses got heightened after using the Wyvern's heart, he had no trouble seeing in the dark. 

Flicking her fingers, the world instantly turned bright, to Alex's dismay apart from the two, there was nothing else inside the current space. 

''Master, haven't I said I'll visit you tonight?" Silveria asked. 

''I do. Visit means this?" 

''Fufufu! What are you expecting? No way you aren't thinking about that-" 

''Enough go straight to the point.'' 

Annoyed Alex cut Silveria off and said. 

Pouting Silveria's expression became serious and she explained the reason why she brought him inside this space. 

''I brought you were for the sake of training.'' 

''Training?" Alex asked.

''Yeah, training. You may be strong but, it's only brute strength. You need some polishing or else you may lose miserably facing an unexpected situation even with your current strength.'' 

Hearing Silveria's words Alex mused over before nodding his head, what she said was true, he needs some training to help him further stabilize his power.

''Let's start with 250 kg gravity,'' Silveria announced before flicking her fingers, and instantly Alex felt a sudden gravity. It was as if 250 kg weight has been put on him, he had trouble moving.

Suddenly, numerous shooting targets appeared. 

''Try shooting at these targets.'' 

He heard Silveria's words.

Summoning the silver gun Alex tried aiming the gun at the target twenty meters away from him and shot. 

Bang! 

He missed the bull's eye, something which should be impossible considered that his Gun Art was at the max level. 

It seemed that the gravity was making it hard for him to concentrate, gritting his teeth, he kept shooting. 

Bang! Bang! 

Another two miss, even so, he continued, slowly his body started adapting, he didn't miss the bull's eye anymore.

Suddenly, the target started moving, 

''Eh?" Alex exclaimed before trying to shoot the moving targets, unfortunately, he missed them all. 

It was then he heard Silveria's words that made him sweat. 

''By the way, every time you miss, the gravity will increase by 5 kg. Do your best Master, fufufu.'' 

''This damn black belly divine weapon, she is enjoying herself. Ah! I won't let you have your fun.'' Alex spat out.

One should that the moving targets numbered 10, if he missed 10 times, the current gravity will increase by 50 Kg. 

Bang! 

A miss, the gravity increased by 5 kg putting more pressure on him.

Bang! 

Another miss, another increase of 5 kg, he was now feeling a weight of 260 Kg. 

Nevertheless, he didn't falter and continued, he missed another two times before starting to shoot them down as he finally understood the moving target patterns. 

Silveria's lips curved up when she saw this because this world, training space to be accurate follow her wish, she made the moving target patterns unpredictable. 

Alex was caught off guard, he missed few times bringing the gravity to 300 Kg before he summoned another silver gun. 

Armed with two guns, it had become easier to shoot down the moving targets. This hellish training continued for another two hours until Silveria decided to stop for tonight. Alex could feel his speed increasing, without the gravity he had no trouble shooting down twenty moving targets in seconds.

Sprawled on the ground like a dead log, Alex panted heavily, however, there was a smile on his lips. 

''Not bad, next we will increase the gravity to 500 kg,'' Silveria said while locking eyes with Alex's heterochromia eyes, because he was sleeping he removed his eye patch.

Alex's smile stiffened when he heard Silveria's words. It was like a devil's sentence.

''Fufufu, can't wait to see. Have a good night Master~" Silveria smiled, her smile was beautiful yet evil at the same time. This was the start of Alex's spartan training.

''Damn it.'' Alex cursed before being sent back. 

He was too tired, he slept until 10 AM. 

Gracier followed by Anna and their butler named Chris went to tour the capital, it was almost evening when they came back. 

Alex toured the Blue Haven Villa, he read books in the library. Alex was shocked to see his Agility increased by 25 points when he checked his status, it was not a lot but it was not less either. Just one night, he earned this, imagine if he trains for 10 days, it would mean an increase of 250 points, a pretty good thing.

Alex and Gracier started to prepare for the incoming banquet that would be held in the academy.

•••••

Known as the mother of talents, the Imperial Academy was the number one magical institution in the world training both Magician and Adventurers, it was founded by the first emperor Klaus Van Havens, and Freya, a SS Rank Adventurer to assess and groom the new generations.

The Imperial Magic Academy was about to open its doors again. Talented youths from across the world came to be students here, hoping to graduate with the certificate that would enable them to have a free pass to dive to any dungeons in the world. The dungeons were under the supervision of empires and powerful organizations, without their consent it was utterly impossible to dive into dungeons. There exist two methods to dive into the dungeons, either by being given the authorization by one of the empires this meant you'll work for them or simply by graduating from the famous Imperial Magic Academy to have the authorization to do so.

Naturally becoming a student at the Imperial Magic Academy was not an easy feat, the selection was pretty harsh, you must have a certain age to be enrolled: 20 limits for human, 50 for Elves because they mature slowly than human, beastmen were not different from human, just they tend to live longer. Those who received special invitations do not need to participate in the examination as a special invitation meant you are talented, one of the staff members of the academy acknowledged you.

The Imperial Magic Academy stood at the northeast of the Imperial palace, naturally, it was truly enormous possessing numerous facilities and dungeons. 

How dungeons were formed or when they appeared was unknown. Some said that it was a relic from the Era of Gods, Mysthia's first era, whether it's true or not nobody knows as Gods did not exist anymore, even the few who managed to step into the God realm after the Dark Era (the Era following the Era of Gods) had disappeared centuries ago after a huge battle, since then no Gods appeared again, as if it became impossible to advance into that realm, Demi-god realm became the limit of current Mysthia's world.

All that could be said about dungeons were that they existed since the creation of Mysthia's world. 

Tonight a banquet will be held to welcome the new students. Alex and Gracier were on the way to the Imperial Magic Academy.
