Chapter 23: CHAPTER 23 – Duel?

Ann had entered the room at the same time when Alex held Alice\'s hand and Alice was blushing, Alex had noticed that but he didn\'t bother hiding things from her as it was better if she knew everything.

However, before the situation becomes awkward, he removes the disguise of the pup to change the topic, but he doesn\'t expect this reaction.

They started caressing it and patting it while observing it, forgetting whatever was happening, Alex smiled seeing their reaction but then he sighed when he saw the pup looking at him with a begging expression.

"I know she is cute, but can you guys leave her some space? She is injured." Alex said while moving the pup in his hands using the wind.

Alex looked at the pup again and he had to admit she looked adorable, it had dark-black shadow-like fur and shining blue eyes looking around curiously.

Her length was close to 35cm excluding her tail, which was very fluffy, and was waving around showing her happiness at being in his arms.

"I will call the healer." Alice acted fast when she heard his words and called the healer.

"What happened?" Ann asked as neither she nor Alice knew what had happened.

"When I was on the way here, I found her lying in blood. However, I found out that it was not her blood but her mother\'s, who had died giving birth to her, and I don\'t know how long it had been from her birth, but she was very weak." Alex explained to them since the healer was on his way, they had some free time.

Alice and Ann looked at the pup pitifully after hearing what happened to her, they moved closer and caressed the pup when they saw her becoming sad as soon as her mother was mentioned.

"You said she looked very weak, but why does she look fine right now? Did you find a low-ranking healer to give her some minor healing on the way?" Alice asked as the pup didn\'t seem injured to her.

This was also the reason when Alex removed the disguise, she didn\'t feel that the pup was injured.

"No, I healed her myself but as I am not really the best healer, I thought maybe I should get her healed with a better one. Better safe than sorry right?" He replied with a smile while caressing the pup.

He really liked this pup as she reminded him of someone he didn\'t even remember, but there was this nostalgic feeling he had, and he knew it had something to do with his past.

He didn\'t notice that the girls were surprised, not because of his smile but because he said he healed the pup. They knew he was strong, well, very strong, but they didn\'t think he would be a healer as well, this got them thinking if there was anything that he couldn\'t do.

*Knock-Knock*

It was when the knock was heard that everyone came out of their thoughts.

"Come in," Alice said, and the healer came inside but then got surprised after seeing the people inside the office.

The healer was a guy with a height of 170cm, green hair that went down to his back, dark green eyes, a sharp nose, thin lips, and his face looked feminine.

His build was very lean and delicate and if someone were to say that he was a girl dressed up as a guy, no one would doubt it for a second.

Alex would have also thought that, but nothing could be hidden from his eyes, and he knew that the person in front of him was a guy, even if that guy was blushing while looking at him.

The healer\'s name was Nick Morice, though he was called Nicky by everyone in the guild, he even received many proposals from both guys and girls from the guild as even if he looked like a girl his charm was still S-.

"Nicky, can you check up on this little girl here?" Alice asked Nicky with a smile as Nick\'s relationship was good with everyone in the guild and he was also accommodating.

"O-oh, Y-yes," Nick answered while stuttering, he looked at Alex again and blushed but then he moved to check the pup\'s condition. Alex had already placed the pup on the desk so that Nick could examine her better.

Alex then turned towards Ann who had been looking at him and Nick weirdly since she could see Nick\'s expression and understand it, unlike Alice. Alex just shook his head and shrugged causing Ann to nod and sigh in relief.

Alex was not someone who would criticize people\'s choices or preferences, but he was also not someone who would change himself for others.

So, he was not going to do something that might cause Nick to become depressed as he was a cheerful and energetic guy, but he would still not give Nick some false hope.

When he sees the situation moving in the wrong direction he will stop it, but right now what Nick had towards him was just Awe and Respect and Alex could see those things in Nick\'s eyes. As for why Nick was blushing?

Well, Nick is into guys, and with Alex\'s look it was normal for him to blush as even an S-rank raider like Alice was unable to stop herself from blushing, so, it was pretty normal for an A-ranked healer not to be able to withstand his charm.

"She is just hungry and everything else is fine. It seems like she was healed by a good healer." Nick said after he examined the pup causing Alice and Ann to turn towards Alex with a wronged look.

Alex just smiled helplessly; he was just doing his best, but he seemed to have forgotten that if he did his best then anything done by him would show good results.

It was his first time using water to heal and if given time there is a chance that he can replace or regrow cells with the help of water.

"Thank you, Nick." Alex thanked Nick who just smiled gently.

"It\'s my job." Nick didn\'t blush or show any awkward movements this time around as examining the pup had calmed him down. Nick then turned towards Alice, and she nodded gesturing that his work was done Nick also smiled and nodded.

"Good luck with the Duel, I am rooting for you." Nick stopped at the gate and said to Alex and then went out not noticing Alex\'s puzzled expression.

"Duel?" Alex asked, looking at Alice since he didn\'t know what Dual Nick was talking about.

"Well, about that......" Alice started explaining what happened and why she asked him to come quickly and by the time she ended up telling Alex about everything, both she and Ann were startled as they saw Alex smiling.

His smile was not his usual gentle smile, this time it looked like the smile of someone evil, but then it vanished as if it was never there making them question whether it was just their imagination.

"I see..." Alex said while he was thinking of what he should do with Frank. He still remembered the mocking smile he had seen and just thinking that he got the chance to wipe that smile off his face made him smile.

This is the smile that was seen by Alice and Ann, but he calmed down pretty quickly while still thinking of how he should make this interesting.

He hadn\'t realized it yet but from the moment he awakened the Incubus bloodline his personality had started to turn devilish, and well this might be the backlash that he had to suffer.

This is also the reason why in the earlier chapters it\'s said that even though the Supreme human bloodline doesn\'t look like much it\'s very powerful since its adaptability is very high and it would not give any kind of backlash.

Every race has its different characteristics along with the powers they provide, and their characteristics might also be their backlash, that is why even if humans are the weakest race in the start, they are still a race with the most potential.
