CHAPTER 11 – New S-Rank Raider.

Joseph Claude, an S-rank Raider in Orange County. He has blond hair, green eyes, and sharp facial features. He had a slim build, like that of a girl, and not like the slim build that Alex had.

His height is towering at 174 cm, 2cm higher than Alice. Overall, he was handsome even for Raider's standard, which is also the reason for his popularity.

"I didn't think that dear Alice would force poor raiders to spill information about their clients." His words caused the Raider who was almost pissing a while ago look at the newcomer with admiration as the public didn't know his true nature.

"We can go now, right?" Alice ignored Joseph's comment and looked at the Raider that led them here. The Raider nodded his head, even though he was threatened by Alice just a while ago, he knew his place.

"Is my dear Alice ignoring me?" Joseph said while moving in front of them, blocking their path.

"You bast-" Before Alice could complete her words the whole building shook and not only that, it even became harder for people to breathe, except Alice and Ann.

However, even when they were not much affected, they could still feel the pressure in the Air. So, they turned to the source of the pressure. But before they could say something, they heard a thud sound and found that Joseph had fallen on the ground, unconscious.

It was Alex who had released his SS+ mana and concentrated it fully on Joseph while protecting Alice and Ann from any of it and that was enough for Joseph to fall unconscious, even if he was an S-ranked Raider.

"You know the way to the Testing area, right? I don't think that guy can lead us as he is right now." Alex asked Ann in a relaxed manner pointing at the Raider who brought them here.

Right now, he was on the ground holding his chest while panting as if he wasn't the one responsible for any of this.

Alice and Ann just looked at him dumbly, not knowing what to say. Alice knew that he was very strong but when she felt his mana, she felt that it was even higher than the Hidden bosses of the S-rank Gates that took at least 10 S-ranked Raiders to hunt them.

As for Ann, well, all her doubts about him were thrown out of her mind by now, and only awe was left. She felt that he was the perfect man for any girl with his otherworldly looks and powers.

"Right?" It was only when Alex repeated in an awkward tone while rubbing the back of his head were they broke out of their thoughts.

Alex felt that maybe he should not have pressured the poor Raider as he only did that to Joseph because he didn't like his personality. He could see right through Joseph, even though he met him for the first time.

It was also because he was annoying Alice that he did what he did.

"Yes, please follow me," Ann said politely.

"You don't have to be formal or polite with me, Ann. You are Alice's friend right, so, treat me as your friend." Alex said to Ann when he saw her still being polite to him.

Ann didn't know what to do and only blushed hearing him and imagining him smiling behind the mask. Then she turned to Alice and seeing her nod her head she also nodded her head and spoke.

"All right then, follow me."

"This is better." Alex said and followed Ann along with Alice, leaving 'Golden Spear' behind as he was ignored from the start to the end.

John Blare who was better known as the super rookie 'Golden Spear' was gritting his teeth while kneeling on the floor, but he didn't move since he knew that acting arrogant right now would only cause his demise.

When he saw Alice, Alex, and Ann, he just focused on the girls while ignoring the guy, but who would have thought that his guy would turn out to be a hidden powerhouse?

Alex along with Alice and Ann went through all the testing rooms and Alex used his power just enough to make him enter S-rank since he felt that the testing instruments would break if he were to use more than that.

Even if his stats were at S+ rank, if he used them perfectly with his All-Master, he could exert the strength of SS rank.

Alice and Ann helped him get the paperwork done and the staff even though surprised with the rise of a new S-ranked Raider did her job perfectly to leave a good impression on Alex, since she could feel that he was very handsome under the mask.

She gave him flirtatious looks from time to time and even gave him her number when he was done, much to the displeasure of both Alice and Ann but they didn't say anything since they didn't have the right to, at least not right now. Alice and Ann then led him to their guild to talk about his contract.

That day the news of the birth of a new S-rank Raider in Orange country was circulated all around the world along with another breaking news of Joseph being defeated by just the mana of the new S-ranked Raider.

The first news didn't cause as much commotion as the second one did, since even if there were strong and weak S-rank Raiders, it would still be a tough fight for them to defeat one another.

So, the news of an S-ranked Raider being defeated so easily caused a lot of commotion and every large guild and country started collecting information about this new S-rank Raider.

Some large forces also started to make a move, thinking of testing, recruiting, befriending, or killing Alex, but there was no news from Joseph's side, and no one knew what he was doing.

Not that Alex was affected by any of this, he was currently sitting relaxedly inside the Guild master's room in the Crimson Lotus guild, which is one of the top-ranked Guilds in Orange country along with Alice and Ann.
