I Got The Gacha System In Another World
Incidents at Night

After a little calm, though,

"System, use ten tickets for Techniques and the rest for Materials. I don't need any tools at this time."

[Manual Piano 1x] [Fence 2x] [Manual Sword Arts 2x] [Manual Basic Forging 1x] [Manual Spear Art 2x] [Manual Basic Medicine 1x] [Manual Basic Acupuncture 1x] [Water Bottle 15x] [Iron ore 2x] [Mithril 3x] [Iron nail 1x] [Chicken Feather 1x]

"Forging!" Alex was surprised

"I finally got a forging manual. I already have the Alchemy Manual, but I don't have any cauldron to use. I searched everywhere but never found an alchemy cauldron. Looks like I can now make my own cauldron."

He jumped up and down happily, ignoring the many bottles of water he had just obtained.

After a while, he started to calm down.

"System, extract items as before."

[Process]

[2x Ticket]

"2 tickets... Let's keep it for now."

While Alex grinned happily, he had no idea what was going on in the dining room.

In the dining room, the atmosphere was so gloomy due to the presence of the grand duke and Alicia.

The others who were there were confused as to why the Grand Duke and Alicia were like this. So the wife asked the Grand Duke.

“What happened, My husband?”

Just as he was about to explain, the servants entered.

"Master, Sir Alexander said he was training, and he said he won't be at dinner today and the Grand Duke can continue without him."

"Huh..."

The Grand Duke's face darkened, "Alright, you can go."

The servants looked towards the Grand Duke, they were frightened by his reaction and immediately left.

"My husband, what happened to you? Alicia, can you explain? Why won't Alexander join us tonight?"

The wife was still confused by the expression of her husband and daughter.

"It's..."

He calmed himself down and began to explain what was happening in the restaurant. And how Alex started distancing herself from Alicia after the incident.

After hearing the entire story, the atmosphere became even more gloomy than before. After eating, they went back to their rooms.

Later that night, Alex returned to cultivation after finishing opening his gacha. After cultivating for 2 hours, he opened his eyes.

"Hmm.. in conclusion from before, for 6 hours I was able to get 5 status points with one point each." He said to himself.

It was almost midnight when he finished his cultivation so he immediately prepared for bed.

*Tok Tok*

Hearing the sound of knocking on the door, Alex opened the door and was shocked to discover that Alicia had entered the room.

"Daughter.."

"Alexes..."

The atmosphere around them was awkward, not usually Alex greeted him like that.

“Daughter, what business do you want to talk to me about in the middle of the night? It will ruin your reputation if someone sees you coming to the men's room in the middle of the night.” Alex broke the silence.

“Alex... please.. don't call me Princess, just call me Alicia like you always do.” Alicia bit her lip.

She could not bear to see Alex being so polite while talking to her, tears started to flow in the corner of her eyes

"Daughter, if you came all the way here just to talk about this matter. Please go back to your room and rest for tomorrow" Alex said.

"Alex.." she looked down, sad.

When Alex wants to close the door and Alicia is about to leave. They heard the window break. Alex immediately raised his fighting position as he recognized the voice coming from his back. He noticed that his bedroom window had just been broken by something.

"Killer!" Alicia screaming.

The assassin unceremoniously closed his distance with Alex and swung his dagger around Alex's neck.

Alex immediately blocks the killer's hand and kicks him. The assassin was surprised by Alex's reaction, he thought that since the target was an inexperienced young commoner, it would be an easy killing. He immediately put down his other hand to hold back Alex's kick. But Alex's kick still threw him.

'He is strong' both of them immediately thought.

Realizing each other's strength, they knew their strength was equal. The assassin immediately changed his target to Alicia who was behind Alex. She knows that her death was sealed when she failed to sneak into Alex's room. The only thing that occurred to him was to bring someone else to die with him.

Realizing the killer's intentions, Alex immediately pulls Alicia into his chest and dodges. Alex did not dodge without thinking. He dodged to the side of his bed, where he placed his sword. He grabbed his sword and Alicia froze as Alex pulled him into his chest, she blushed.

"Alex, I'll help!" Alicia started to calm down while watching Alex clench her sword.

Looking at Alex who has the same power as the killer, the killer still wants to escape. Deep down, he was still afraid of death even after he had prepared himself well before executing his plan to kill Alex.

“Are you going to escape?”

Alex immediately swung his sword towards the assassin, making him unable to escape that easily. Suddenly, the grand duke's voice sounded.

"Where's the killer?" The Grand Duke roared.

When the assassin heard the grand duke's voice. He knew he could not escape at this moment.

Realizing this, Alex wanted to interrogate him.

“Who are you? Who sent you?”

"You won't get any information from me."

"We'll see..stop"

The killer snorted and committed suicide. There's poison in the killer's mouth. He bit her and her mouth started foaming.

After confirming that the killer had died, he immediately looked towards Alicia.

"Daughter. Are you okay?" Alicia nodded.

“Princess, you must tell Grand Duke.”

"Alexes..."

Even after this incident, Alex seemed to be getting away from him even more. He bit his lip and left.

He had no idea why Alex had suddenly moved away from him. What really happened at the restaurant was that the trauma of his past resurfaced. When she was a child, her parents loved her very much. However, as soon as he became a useless child, they began to compare him to his sister and started to hate him.

The only person in high school he thought was his friend who treated him indifferently. She also had a boyfriend who treated her well at first but then she cheated on him with the fake friend. They betrayed him together and everything has traumatized him for life. He had thought that Alicia, the Grand Duke, and the king were now treating him well because of his talent.

When he thought, 'what if I don't have this talent anymore, will they also betray me?' it kept reappearing in his mind. That's why he started to distance himself from her. In fact, distancing yourself from problems with noble ethics is just one of many reasons. His main problem was that he was trying hard to deal with his trauma, but he was not a person who could handle it just because he wanted to. He was someone who would change only after a long period of time. One might think he was a coward or a weakling, but that was just him.

"Alexes... Let me do the rest. You can rest in the next room." The Grand Duke said after checking if there were any injuries on his body.

Alex nodded and left. The Grand Duke simply shook his head and blamed that bastard Nito. He then decided to increase the defense around the mansion.

In the new room, Alex decides to go to bed.

In the morning, Alex opened her eyes and she immediately got dressed.

*Tok Tok*

Alex opens the door and the waiters find Alex already dressed. It surprised the two of them because they were the ones who were supposed to dress her up.

“Master, we came to..”

"I've dressed myself up, led." Alex interrupts.

The servants then led the way to the park. In the park, there's a train waiting for Alex. He recognized the carriage, it was the previous carriage that Alicia had used on her way. Beside the carriage, the Grand Duke and the butler were waiting for him. Alex approached them.

“Good morning Grand Duke and butler.” Alex greeted them, but the tone he used was more polite.

Realizing this, the grand duke's face darkened.

"Alex, how are you?"

"I'm doing fine. Thank you for the attention of the Grand Duke."

Hearing Alex's reply, he gritted his teeth, "The killer is a rank 3, he is not a member of any organization or family. I heard from Alicia, you were attacked by the Marquis' son. So, what happened yesterday may have something to do with them. After you leave, I will immediately go to Pondria's house to ask for an explanation."

Alex nodded, “Thank you, Grand Duke.”

Grand Duke sighed.

A few moments later, Alicia left the house. She was wearing a white dress, matching Alex's white cloth. He let his long purple hair down.

Dad, he greeted the Grand Duke when he turned to Alex, he greeted Alex awkwardly.

"Alexes...."

“Good morning Princess Alicia.” Alex greeted him politely.

Noticing the awkwardness, Grand Duke said, “Since you two are already here, let's go.”

The four of them took the train, the journey did not take much time and they arrived after ten minutes.

"I wish you two had a great day." Grand Duke says goodbye to his daughter and Alex.

Alicia and Alex nodded and walked over to the academy. The Grand Duke and his butler were heading to Pondria's house.

They walked towards the crowd lining up in front of the academy. Alex and Alicia are in line.

"Rank 0, soldier, no element, 18 years. Failed it!"

"Rank 1, Warrior, no element, 16 years. Pass!"

"Rank 0, Witch, Fire Element, 17 years. Pass!"

The old man judged the recruits, some failed and some escaped.

“Alex, you have a letter of recommendation from the king so you don't have to wait here,” Alicia whispered to Alex

"I'll wait for you first, Princess."

"Rank 1, Witch, Fire Element, 16 Years. Pass!" the old man was surprised.

“We have a genius this year.” Other teachers who are standby also follow the initial assessment.

"Yes, a rank 1 fire element mage, and she is still 16 years old. He's a genius."

Recruitment this year for ages 16 to 19. A rank 1 warrior was usually around 18 years old, whereas a rank 1 mage was rarer than a rank 1 warrior. So a 1st rank magician of 16 years old is something funny.

"What's your name?" The old man asked politely.

"My name is Rio Maroria, Earl Maroria's first son." He said with a satisfied smile. He had expected this result because he had already tested it at his home. Many people claim he is a genius.

"So, this is Mr. Rio Maroria. I've heard a lot about you." The old man said politely.

Alex and Alicia watched this scene in silence. After Rio's assessment, many prospective students were envious and envious of his talent. Rio was standing beside her, watching the other appraisals while grinning.

After a while, it was time for Alicia's assessment.

"Rank 1, Witch, Ice Element, 16 years. Pass!"

The old man was shocked once again. Actually Alicia almost ranked 2nd. After traveling with Alex for four months. Alex likes to go out alone to kill monsters, but Alicia often follows him. So Alicia who is the 1st mage rank they first met, now almost reached mage rank 2.

"This..a genius has appeared again!" The audience was shocked by Alicia's rank.

"That's not the water element, but the ice element!"

The ice element is more advanced than the water element, so the ice element is even rarer than the fire and water elements.

Rio was startled, he was not only fascinated by Alicia's talent but also her beauty. He soon decided that he would try his hardest to make this woman his girlfriend. He then decided to walk to Alicia.

"Geez, is this Princess Alicia? Nice to meet you, Princess. My name is Rio Maroria. Earl Maroria's first son. Since the princess has already passed the assessment, why don't we go in together?"

"Greetings to you, Mr. Rio Maroria. I'll wait for him first." He looked at Alex to show that he was waiting for the man. As Alicia looked at Alex, Rio sent a cold gaze to Alex. Alex looked at him and sighed inwardly, Another Evil Young Master who thinks with his penis, not his brain. Why are there so many?'

He sincerely prayed that he would not meet such a person in the future. Even if necessary, he hoped that he would not meet many spoiled brats. But he did not know if his prayer would be fulfilled.

"You can get out here. You don't even need to be judged. You have failed!" rio's orders.

Alex ignored Rio and gave his letter to the old man.

“Pak, this is my recommendation letter.” Alex politely gave his letter to the old man. Each noble would have one letter of recommendation for his house. Usually they use it for their children who do not have talent.

See Alex's letter of recommendation. Rio thought Alex must be talented mediocre because he needed a letter of recommendation. So he looked at Alex with disdain.

"Well, letter of recommendation? Your talent must be so bad that you need to use a letter of recommendation. You have no right for Alicia to wait for you. Get out of here."

"Sorry Mr. Rio Maroria, but we're not close to each other. So don't call me by my name. And it's none of your business that I'm waiting for." said Alicia.

"You..."

Seeing Alicia reprimanding him, he hates Alex even more. He looked at the old man and the other teachers.

"I don't want him to enter the academy, he has no talent and only relies on letters of recommendation."

“You... please go, the academy does not welcome you!” The old man said as he returned Alex's letter.

"You... Why are you acting like this! You'll regret this." Alicia glared at the old man and Rio.

Rio just snorted, he envied seeing Alicia with Alex. He already considers Alicia as his woman, therefore he hopes to get rid of Alex. While the old man saw Alex relying on the recommendation letter, he had already decided it was better to side with Rio than Alex.

'No integrity' Alex was surprised by this action. He just shook his head and sighed. When he was just about to leave.

"Wait!"
