Following the Rank promotion, Alex's daily routine remained unchanged, with two days spent in the Ancient World and one day on Earth, just as before.
Alex distributed his time between dealing with the organization's needs, leveling to reach the peak fourth Rank, and refining his body with his elemental flame.
On Earth, Alex kept refining his body to increase his stats to reach the required level for the Second Rank promotion and refine his veins to get them accustomed to elemental mana, which was the second condition for the rank promotion.
Before the Rank promotion, Alex was expecting to spend close to two years and a few months to satisfy the two requirements for the second Rank promotion, but after the promotion he was progressing much faster than he expected.
