So here we are traveling to tokyo via bus and having chat about recent events and mofan's got everyone's curiosity as he was deciphering words of the ghost that died due to the injustice and getting his facts checked. everyone knows alex has proven her innocence by saying that Island is true and considering that to be a moving thing, island or beast it can be true but they still have a linger feeling that the size of the beast won't be possible near the coast without spoting or if it is the power level be beyond one or two super tier mages can take on. alex agreed with the statement as it would be a death wish if a single or two super mages get upfront with totem beast but he didn't voice it loud. alex was sitting beside my Ning xu and happily conversing with her and Jiang shaoxu but still thinking about the plots that going to happen and what should he do with black Vatican as their future plots will be annoyingly frustrating and risky. he is still thinking about he should search for them instead of taking part in the competition as for he only knows about two red cardinals but there are more out there that are creating chaos and that was left unchecked in the anime and it will proved from before experiences that they provide decent fights and tough one's that will contribute to his growth rather than what following plot will.
finally bus stops and their chatter pauses as they make their way towards the city but got confused with the siren but soon their expression changed as they saw a commander level creature staring there way emerging behind the building they got panicked by the sudden attack of the creature that going to hit mu Ning xue. while this event is happening mofan already had left with the Japanese instructor where Jiang yu got pissed and cursed mofan. A new entry as a boy in army dress try to save mu Ning xue by moving her but the victim already teleported near alex and he had already taken precautions and started nailing small mob of monsters with his shadow element. everyones got their wits together and finally started attacking AI Jiang tu is dealing with commander level creature where everyone burning small fries. alex moved a bit ahead and started searching for stronger creatures he let the group to fend off for themselves as this is a part of training but when zu zimming abandoned Jiang shaoxu to save his sorry as* . he arrived first and slap the hell out of him by literally breaking 2 tooths without any magic and then take her to regroup. zu zimming wanted to criticize him but alex is already enraged with him so he warned him that this is a monster zone with little to none safety and shit happens in the monster zone regularly for example a snap of alex unintentionally and him being teleported into monsters den. after listening his words zu zimming was terrified and he can see through alex eyes that he isn't kidding about throwing him away so he swallowed his saliva and did a head down and started following captain orders without uttering anything. same as the plot mu Ning xue saves the day with the help of her bow but alex seeing this feels dejected as he not able to use his destructive elements with area attack he did caught up with mu Ning xue helped her to stand. Jiang yu got carried away in his feelings and cursed mofan for leaving them in the time of need to be with beautiful women. everyone got some twitch on faces but to alex expectations mu Ning xue doesn't feel jealousy neither she showed any form of expression on her preety face only showed sign of indifference. alex find it pleasing for him and thinks that he still has a chance and therefore hold her hand while walking she did glare him for that but the reason for this wasn't sudden skin to skin contact but the increase in comfort that her soul feels when alex is near the euphoria feeling that her soul is experiencing and her backlash is smoothing. she is walking with alex hand in her hand and continuously eyeing him. they make their way towards the place where arrangments while staying had been prepared. alex did notice mu ning xue glares and offers to explain this phenomenon to his best of ability but that only will take place when they are out of this shitty place and situation. hotel manager didn't help them but just dropped a bomb by saying they needs to pay to stay or achieve 4 star rank team status for the resources that were allotted to them. nobody's have any ideas about the situation and set ups that are placed by the councilman finally AI Jiang tu asked about how to acquire 4star status to which he got an answer that they had to defend one out of the 32 zones that are available. everyone can see their stiffed faces with some cursing govt schemes but they readily agreed because they got no choice.
