Hero System! Transported to Another World

Chapter 18: Play Your Cards Right

As Alex continued on with his workout regardless of that fact that he couldn't finish it in time, He heard a familiar voice, "Alex?!"

It was Hana.

"Hmm?" Alex looked towards Hana in confusion.

Hana, who was even more confused and shocked to see Alex in drenched clothes said, "What do you mean Hmm?? Why are you up so early, leave that. Why are you working out early in the morning? That also to the point of drenching your body completely in sweat?"

Alex smiled back, "I was doing some morning training. I wanted to try out how much I can do, for example, I did a 10km run in 20 minutes. Something that I could never even imagine doing before. I want to finish this much before going in for a shower."

Han looked towards Alex and nodded, 'Well, I might have just acted a bit too shocked. I just didn't expect him to work out to this point.' Hana said to herself as she continues to watch Alex do push-ups. Some more time passes, Alex had already moved on to doing the 300 sit-ups. Hana just quietly watched as he did so while checking her watch every now and then.

"299300," Alex said as he finished his last rep of sit-ups. His body was aching all over but Alex didn't mind it, he only felt the adrenaline from the workout. 'Tomorrow, I'll have to do it in time.' Alex looked up to the sky and took a deep breath. A smile on his face.

Hana shook her head and walked inside of the complex, "Come with me."

Alex nodded and walked into the building slowly, his body was aching all over.

As soon as Alex entered the doors, he saw Hana holding a towel. "Don't enter my room being all sweaty. Just dry off as much as you can for now. Then enter."

Alex nodded, "Thank you." And started to dry off.

Rachel looked towards Hana and smile, "Maam, Will you stay any nights?"

Hana, Hearing Rachel's words looked towards he with a slight look of annoyance. Rachel smiled back and said, "I wouldn't mind taking Alex if you don't care."

Hana looked towards Rachel with confused eyes, she shook her head and sighed. Rachel giggled when she saw Hana's reaction. The two waited for Alex to dry himself off.

"Thank you, but where did this come from?" Alex said as he showed the now wet towel towards Hana. Hana pointed towards the staff room and said, "Most things are found in there."

Alex remembered something when he saw the staff room, he quickly took the skipping ropes and gave it to Rachel, "Thank you."

Rachel looked towards Alex and smiled, "You need not give me that, I'm sure you will workout tomorrow, the day after and so on. Just keep it, as a gift from us."

Hearing Rachel's words, Alex nodded and thanked her. He then followed Hana to the elevator.

Hana looked towards Alex and said, "You look good with the new hair cut. Once you take a shower and wear that suit I bought, you'll look perfect for today. It's a pretty special occasion, being appraised is something that is only done a once for every person so you better make a good impression."

Alex nodded, "I understand that but I still don't get how that happens. Plus, who am I trying to look good for?"

Hana shook her head, "You need to make a good impression, not look good. When you enter the room, they will first look at how you art and how you are dressed then look at your personality. But after what you did to rhino, they will trust you. Most people would think of killing the mind-controlled but you just injured him."

Hana then looked towards Alex, "But there is a slight problem. I think you might know this"

Hearing Hana's words, Alex smiled and laughed. "I think I know too." He said as he quickly pressed equip on the reaper dagger.

"I assume this is the problem." Alex showed to Hana. Hana looked towards Alex, "You're a caster? You never showed signs of being a caster but you can just create a weapon out of thin air, that also without any chants? Didn't you say that you were powerless in your previous world?" Hana felt confused when she saw the dagger. She heard that the dagger disappeared but to see that it was in Alex's hands once again, that also the fact that he could create it without chanting shocked her.

Alex smiled awkwardly, "Even I don't know how I did that. I just remember taking a reaper's dagger and the next thing that I know, the dagger disappeared as soon as I came into this worlds. But just before the battle, I felt like I could bring the dagger so I just imagined it. Then the dagger appeared in my hand. I don't know how I did it exactly, It's more like it just happened. I think the same might have happened, the dagger just disappeared and came back to me." Alex made up a bluff.

Hana looked into Alex's eyes and smiled, She then looked to the elevator door, they had reached the top floor.

"I hope you enjoyed it here. It is a pretty luxurious room. Sadly I don't get to stay here much but I still rent it just in case. Now I have a reason. Play your cards in today's meeting right, you get to keep this place for yourself. If not, You'll have to be homeless." Hana said as she walked inside.

Alex's eyes opened wide open when he heard Hana, he looked at Hana with horror. 'She really knows how to threaten you without sounding like it.'

Hana then looked towards Alex and clapped her hands, "Chop chop! Go and take a bath. After that change your clothes to the suit I got yesterday. I'll keep it in the bathroom while you bathe. We need to get ready by 7 am."
