While Magna went to get his bike, Alex lightly slapped Noelle's butt, startling her.

*Slap!*

"Hey!..."

Alex smirked and stepped close to her, staring into her eyes. "You sure like to act smug, huh, Miss Royal? From now on, every time you make a mistake and be a bad girl, I'll punish you like this. But since you also overcome your fear and protect everyone, I'll have to reward you too."

And without waiting for her, he kissed her cheek, smirking. "Keep up the good work."

Noelle covered her face which was hot red as he could even see smoke rising from her head.

'H-he... He... He... He just kissed me, ahhh!...'

When Magna returned, he was surprised by her weird behavior and asked Alex who just shrugged his shoulder, saying that he had no idea.

Tossing the unconscious prisoner on Magna's bike, Alex held Noelle through her waist and flew away...

After returning, Magna reported everything to Yami and handed over Heath to him who took him to the capital.

It seemed Heath needed to be conscious to activate the magic item stored on his body.

When Yami returned, he informed the trio that Wizard King was impressed by their work and granted a star to them.

Seeing the -30 stars, Alex's face twitched uncontrollably.

'Just how bad is the situation!'

Then Yami distributed the salaries among the squad.

Vanessa invited Alex and Noelle on a shopping trip to a castle town, Kikka in the Common Region.

Alex roamed around the town until the girls ran their own errands.

After that Vanessa took them to the black market to search for a magic wand for Noelle, so she could control her magic easily. He saw Magna playing in a casino and losing his entire salary.

Alex also saw Sekke Bronzazza gambling against an old man at a stall and losing everything. He then started whining about his magic knight status.

Well, it looked quite funny seeing him whining with Wizard King in disguise.

When Sekke turned around, he saw Vanessa and Noelle. He was about to approach them to flirt but seeing Alex with them, he nearly got his soul scared out of him and he left the place quickly.

It was then.

"Hey, stop that's my belongings!" The old woman who won against Sekke shouted. "Somebody stops the thief!"

Sekke tried to act heroically by stopping the thief with his magic. But bad luck for him, as the thief possessed a dagger with paralyzing magic.

The dude got hit and fainted.

Just as the thief was about to turn around, a punch landed on his face sending him flying and slamming into a wall.

Alex sighed as he looked at Sekke and picked up the stuff stolen by the thief.

He handed it to its owner and said, "Keep your stuff safe, Wizard King!"

The last two words were said in such a low voice that only the old woman heard them.

A surprised expression flashed on her face for a second.

Alex nodded his head lightly before leaving away with Vanessa and Noelle.

Julius Novachrono looked at his back and transformed into his original form.

'Ha ha ha, interesting, very interesting. I'm looking forward to your performance in the future.'

The next day, everyone was lazing around, doing their stuff at the base when Yami kicked open the door and announced loudly.

"Hey listen, a report came saying the appearance of a new dungeon."

"A dungeon?! For real?!" Magna yelled in surprise.

Vanessa then explained what a dungeon was.

"And this time, the dungeon is in an area that's close to an enemy kingdom, so to make sure they don't get it, we need to get this mission done quickly and properly. There are tales of how people made kingdoms out of the desert because of the magic items they found in dungeons. But that's not all. There have also been stories about someone who was able to use the most powerful form of magic because of a dungeon." Yami took a puff and continued.

"You're in luck, pretty boy. The magic emperor himself chose you for the mission."

"WHAT?! The emperor himself?!" Magna screamed with a shocked expression.

"Alright, I'll do it." Alex nodded his head.

"Well, you alone are enough for this mission but Noelle and Luck will accompany you," Yami said as he glanced at the other two.

Finral sent the trio to the closest location, he could send to with his spatial magic.

After we left Vanessa asked Yami "Captain why did you send Noelle? I mean isn't it kind of dangerous for her?"

"Since it's a hard mission, she might grow up a little! And with Luck and Asta, there is no need to worry."

'But I'm mostly worried about Luck.' Vanessa sighed as she thought.

Yami didn't pay attention and continued. "And it might help Luck to change his attitude by fighting in a group."

...

The trio reached their destination after a few hours of travel.

On the way, Noelle suggested naming the anti-bird (Secre) following Alex.

The name she suggested was Silvantus Schnauzer!

Alex's face twitched as he thought about calling Secre by that name and a shiver ran down his spine.

In the end, it settled on Nero since he liked the sound of it.

Alex glanced at Noelle and decided to punish her for suggesting such a lame name later.

When they entered inside, it looked like a pitch-black cave.

"Ah, it must be here." Luck put his hand forward onto the wall and it opened sideways.

"Wow," Alex and Noelle couldn't help but exclaim. The inside was really beautiful.

"This area is being upheld by magic. I can feel more mana in here than I ever did in my life" Luck stated.

"This is the first time I've seen a place built with this much mana." Noelle agreed with Luck.

Luck looked around and said to Alex. "Hey Asta, check this out."

A slash landed on the tile Luck was pointing at, destroying it with the magic rune on it.

"Stop playing around, Luck," Alex said to Luck while checking the paths with his powerful perception.

"*puh* You're no fun." Luck pouted lightly before laughing out

Suddenly, his face changed and he summoned his grimoire.

'Lightning Equip Magic: Thor's Boots!'

"Something important came up. So, you guys will be handling the clearing of this dungeon alone." Luck said and left. He didn't give a chance to the duo to speak.

"What the hell is that guy thinking?!" Noelle's face paled.

Alex said as he looked at the entrance. "Forget about him. Let's welcome our guest."

"Guest? What guest?"

It was then.

Three people walked and the one in front smiled as he looked at Asta.
