Chapter 60 : A beautiful monster (1)

Hearing what Alex just said, they coughed with an embarrassed look.

"Don't look so embarrassed ladies, I understand that you couldn't hold yourself after seeing me, after all, I'm really handsome" said Alex with a beaming smile on his face.

"..."

"..."

At this point, the girls were at a loss for words, uncertain about how to respond to him. They simply stared at Alex, who stood there with a smug smile on his lips for a while.

Trying to shift the focus, Lilia then said, "Congratulations on reaching level 4. Now that that's done, we can start the training immediately."

"If you want, I'm also eager to know what I can do, but I must warn you, I may be stronger than you, so, you may be hurt" said Alex with a confident demeanor.

"Oh, we will see about that" replied Lilia with a cold sneer, thinking inwardly 'you might be a level 4, but your combat experience is no more than that of a level 1, I will wipe that smug expression off your face'.

Seeing her cold expression, Alex almost caved out but then took a deep breath and straightened his posture, showing that he wouldn't back down.

'Good, that's the right attitude' thought pleasantly Lilia, however on the outside her face remained as cold as a block of ice as she said "If you are ready, let's begin, Scarlett will give the signal to the start of the fight".

Alex and Scarlett nodded, then Alex and Lilia made their way to the center of the training ground.

As they walked, Alex's previous arrogant demeanor seemed to disappear as his focus heightened, contrary to what Lilia thought, he was actually going to take this fight as seriously as he can, after all if war taught him something it was to never underestimate your opponent.

'Let's see, I'm sure Lilia won't easily buy my act of being arrogant as she knows that I'm someone who is cautious, which is why I wouldn't give the first strike and will wait for her to strike at me first, I'm also sure she counts on that opportunity to end the fight, which is why I shouldn't let her strike first' thought Alex as he made his way to the center of the training ground, contrary to what Lilia thinks this Alex indeed have battle experience, and a solid one at that, after all it's not everyone that can become a war hero, even on earth.

When they got to the center of the training ground, Alex and Lilia faced each other and as Lilia gazed at him, she felt that something was different about Alex, it was like a kind of dangerous halo was surrounding him.

'That kind of sensation should only come from someone's who had fought for years, I'm just imagining things' thought Lilia as she shook her head.

"Ready ?" Asked Scarlett with her arm held in the air, they both nodded and Scarlett lowered her arm, marking the start of the fight.

As he had planned, the moment the fight began Alex charged toward Lilia with all his speed, which, like he had also planned, surprised her.

'At least he is not passive in an actual fight' thought appreciatively Lilia.

Alex's sudden move was unexpected, but it was just that, she didn't panic or anything of the like, instead she took a fighting stance and looked at Alex that was charging toward her like a bullet.

In a split second, Alex was in front of her and sent a punch toward her, he didn't retain his strength as he knew that his wife wasn't someone to be underestimated.

'As expected' thought Lilia as Alex's fist was nearing toward her face, she had predicted that due to his inexperience he would do a move like that, which was quite easy to parry.

She smiled coldly and thought, 'this will serve as your first lesson-'

However, Lilia's train of thought came to a sudden halt when, contrary to her expectations, Alex abruptly stopped as his fist drew near. Instead, he executed a swift change in tactics, delivering a powerful side kick.

Taken by surprise with this unexpected feint, Lilia had no choice but to employ her arm to block the blow, however, due to the force of Alex's kick she was sent stumbling back several meters.

"..."

"..."

Not just Lilia, even Scarlett was taken aback by the development of the first clash.

Meanwhile, Alex, not wanting to lose his momentum, charged at Lilia again, throwing a punch again.

'You won't have me with the same move' thought Lilia, preparing herself for another feint.

However, Alex had predicted that she would think like that and didn't feint this time and just punched her.

Although not surprised like the first time, this move of Alex still surprised a Lilia a little, but it was enough to send her stumbling back again.

After she came to a stop Lilia gazed at Alex that was charging toward her again and thought 'I take back what I said; he definitely doesn't have the experience of a level 1.'
