'Holy… what an upgrade!' Alex looked at the paper with wide eyes.

"Well? Can I see it?" Julis asked barely controlling herself and not just grab the paper out of his hands.

That moment he snapped out from his shock and handed over the paper to her.

The pinkhead quickly took it and started to read the piece of paper.

Her eyes bulged out seeing all that.

"H-How did you increased your stats THAT much?" She asked him while lifting her eyes from the paper.

Alex perfectly honest had no idea, for one, he has no clue how long he stayed in that dungeon… does time even flow there?

All he can say that he was there for a long time!

Because he somewhat feels nostalgic seeing his room!

"No idea Julis, I can't track time in that place, neither the sun is moving, or I get hungry or thirsty." He explained to her, now that he updated his stats the dizziness was gone, and he is somewhat rejuvenated to point that he can finally leave his bed.

The moment he went up from the bed, the pink head eyes were on his chest.

She then motioned for him to turn around.

Alex eye-rolled at her and still, he did what she asked.

"So, a big gash on the chest... and it looks like they assaulted you from back." The girl inspected him.

"It appears so, I did took out 4 wolves and one of them was a pack leader." He smiled for second remembering that.

Julis lips twitched for a second hearing that…

"Just…take care of yourself, it looks like it was painful."

The pinkhead had no idea, even when the pain was dulled by adrenaline and electricity numbed it even further it was still quite painful.

Still, he nodded at her concern, he did try to survive as long as possible, even if he went down he took the pack leader out.

Seeing that he agreed to her question. Julis looked back at his paper, she can guess from all this how long he was there…

Some of his stats were in 100's! That is a massive upgrade!

While Julis was thinking Alex grabbed his uniform and started to walk towards the shower, but before that he stopped and looked at the thinking Princess.

"I am going for a shower, you had yours?"

His words brought her back from her thinking.

"Yes, you can have it, I already had mine, I am going to start making breakfast…" She then thought of something…" why don't we prepare bento for school?" She asked with a small smile.

Alex eyes nearly glowed from excitement hearing 'Bento'!

'Damn… how long I was in that place if I get that easily excited?'

"Sure… you need help?" He asked her.

"With the way you are? No thanks, you should just rest up instead." She shook her head, seeing tired-looking Alex.

He slowly nodded and went to the shower.

~~~

Now Alex was quite shocked just how much he missed the shower, now he really, wonders how long he was stuck in that place?

Is it possible for him to leave it on its own? Or he has to die each time if he wants to leave?

That kind of thoughts went through his mind, as he finished showering and dressing up.

Then he went to the living room and turned on the TV.

Just like last time, the morning shows is something he did not miss.

Instead, he pulled out his phone. He realised that the phone function to pop anywhere work outside THE dungeon too.

The first thing he did was to check the R.O.B's app.

Just like last time the lottery wheel function was blinking indicating that he can use it once more.

So, he pressed on it, and just like last time he saw the same notification…

[You have died! But, don't worry! R.O.B's Lottery Wheel has your back covered!]

[You Get: Free Spin!]

Without bothering much on it, he pressed [OK], and now he was able to check the lottery wheel in more detail.

The most obvious change was that Legendary rank was not there, the greatest stuff he can get is Epic Royal Purple.

Instead, there was only three things from the Epic category, eight in the blue category, 32 in the green one, and the rest were in white.

Still, free stuff is free, he can't complain… much…

After stopping thinking about this, Alex pressed the spin button and waited for the wheel to stop.

Soon, enough it stopped on the white one…

A groan escaped from Alex's lips as he saw what kind of card he got.

[You Get: A pallet of mixed Potato Chips!]

'Well, at least it's bigger than a box…'

After that disappeared he saw that he has four more spins!

'Wait a sec! The loot!'

Alex quickly left the Lottery Wheel window, and went back to the main menu and checked the inventory.

A smile appeared on his face when he saw the inventory.

He pressed on the first one.

[Northern Forest Wolf's Pelt x3]

[Crafting Item]

[Common Rank]

The pelt was greyish, while the background was white.

'So, white is classified as common, then the green one is uncommon, and the blue one is rare?'

Finally, after understanding the colouring, he looked at other items.

Next to the pelt was something similar to a fang in white background.

[Northern Forest Wolf's Fang x3]

[Crafting Item]

[Common Rank]

'Yeah, though so…'

He then check another item.

This time it was black pelt in green background.

[Northern Forest Alpha Wolf's Pelt]

[Crafting Item]

[Uncommon Rank]

Next to this pelt, there was a fang in green background, he already knew what it was without even checking it.

Instead, he looked at two last items, the first one was.

A white ticket.

[Common Rank Lottery Ticket x3]

And the other one was a Green ticket.

[Uncommon Rank Lottery Ticket]

"Well, something good? I was thinking after checking your stats and doing some simple math, you been away from up to several months to a year." Alex's eyes widened for a second after hearing what Julis just said.

"That's, if the stat growth was similar to yesterdays, plus you got two new skills too…" Julis said after thinking for a bit.

'Up to a year… damn… my growth is insanely slow compared to Bell's…'

Alex for second compared himself and the rabbit kid from the Light Novel.

'Guess, that single skill can make such massive difference.'

"I got some lottery tickets and some loot from the wolves."

For now, he decided to forget about that, most of the time he spends there was to improve himself, get more used to fighting and training in general, and not about the stats.

Besides he knows that manifesting skill or spell on its own is very difficult, most people get those from levelling up not manifesting, while he got a spell, and three skills!

"I see, we talk about this more, I got breakfast!" Julis walked over and brought some sandwiches, this time she has put something different in them.

Alex just smiled seeing her walk over, he is not going to lie, seeing Julis making food for him is one of the best things which happened so far to him.

"Interesting…"

"Nope, I am not telling you what I put in them!" The pink head said with a huff trying to hide her blush as she sensed an increase in her connection to him.

"Well, there is only one way to find out." He grabbed the first one and started to eat.

While the Princess just observed him with a curious look.

She wants to see his reaction to this new combination, the girl never tried to eat it before.

Julis got inspired by Alex, as she remembered him mentioning that he did experimentation before with food.

"Hmm, this is good, you should use mayo next time, and it will be perfect," Alex said after finishing the sandwich.

The pinkhead just stared at him with a deadpan look…

He finished the whole thing in two bites!

"..."

"..."

"What? I was starving!" He defended himself and his actions!

"Besides I think my metabolism increased after all that electrical stuff happened to me." He then quickly finished the other one.

Julis blinked for a second, her brain caught up to what he just said.

"I see… I will try mayo next time then…" She softly said that moment she put a mental note to include Alex increased metabolism in her future cooking.

~~~~~~Later~~~~~~

Sona alongside her 'Queen' Tsubaki was waiting outside the main gate, as Student Council President, it's her job to make sure everyone is in their classes before the bell rings.

If not, then the student will get a first-class ticket to her office or the faculty office, there is always some work to be done in the school and free labour is always welcomed.

That's why not many dare to be late. Still, there are few exemptions to that, of course…

As she was waiting and making sure everyone has their uniform properly on she noticed THEM.

The transfer students, Sona's eyes narrowed for a second, she remembered the yesterdays chess match, she replayed it in her head countless times.

She eventually realised why she lost, and it was quite a simple thing, she lost because she was too caught up with her plan, without realised that her opponent had his plan in play too!

And so, one could say, Sona is practically is thinking to stalk him and wait for the opportunity to play chess! And get her rematch!

But then, she noticed something was off about him…

From walking to aura, and she can feel something like static electricity washing her up.

'His magic has changed? Did his Sacred Gear changed his natural magic? I never heard of such gear!' The Sitri Heiress frowned as she observed him from distance.

'The only gear which comes close to this is Zenith Tempest, but it's not set to one element!'

Sona then tried to recall any known lightning-based Sacred Gear, but it was nothing like her senses told about the transfer student.

It feels more natural, and it's mixed with mana, instead of being created by mana…

"Good Morning Shitori Kaichou."

Alex snapped out Sona from her thinking, the Student Council President fixed her glasses before looking at the new additions to Kuoh Academy.

"Good Morning Komnenos-san, Riessfeld-san." The Sitri Heiress saw the flinch coming from Alex when she mentioned his surname, while his girlfriend was just looking neutrally at her.

His behaviour with that is something she will investigate as well, maybe it help her with getting him to join her peerage.

"You look tired Komnenos-san, is everything alright?" Sona curiously asked him.

"Yes, trained a little bit too much yesterday," Alex said that while scratching the back of his head.

While Julis was giving him a deadpan look, if only Sona knew how 'little' truly is…

Sitri heiress raised her eyebrow at that, she looked then at the pink head next to him, she had bags under her eyes, while Julis tried to hide those with some light makeup, Sona can easily see through that, her glasses are special after all.

It wasn't hard for the Devil Heiress to come to a conclusion, she (mis)understood what was happening...

"I know you two are young, but at least finish high school first…" She said that with a very serious voice.

It took a couple of moments for Alex to understand what Sona has meant, while it took a few extra moments more for Julis to understand that.

"W-What are you talking about!? We have not done any of t-that!" The Pink Princess tsun tsun tendencies manifest with her shutter.

Julis reaction only solidified what Sona was thinking.

"It's not my place to question what you two do after classes… now please get inside classes will start soon." The Sitri Heiress motioned to enter.

The Pink head still wanted to clarify more, but Alex just grabbed her hand and pulled her in…

"Teenagers these days…" Sona softly said under her breath, while Tsubaki next to her wanted to mention that she was one too, but decided to hold her tongue.
