Come. Have lunch with us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey! Would you like to try our local drink? It's called Poncana.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, handsome~ How about you spend some fun time with us sisters? We'll make sure you don't regret it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Big brother, you're so cool!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here, I picked up some excess bananas. It's good for your health, you know? Have some.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex blinked once, then twice, as he took the bananas offered to him by the granny he happened to pass along on the streets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not only her. The entire village seemed to want to get to know him better. Some even invited him to eat with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Overwhelmed by the good graces of the villagers, Alex accepted what he could and politely declined what he couldn't.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, after what seemed like eternity, Alex finally reached the staircase that served as the Trial of the Hartwell Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dim Dim, do you know what is happening?\" Alex asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dim.\" Dim Dim shook its head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like Alex, the little one was also surprised to see everyone suddenly treating the young man exceptionally well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even those who had initially wished to challenge him for the position of Cairo's disciple had changed their minds and were now trying to befriend him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're back, Master Alex,\" Roselia said in a respectful tone. \"The Young Master asked me to take you to see him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Um?\" Alex tilted his head in confusion. \"But I still haven't cleared the Trial of the Hartwell Clan. How can I see him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex was treating the trial as a special training course where he could farm stat points without too much effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no way he would give up such a sweet deal since all he needed to do was to take two to three steps further in order to gain some stat points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're right, Master Alex.\" Roselia nodded. \"This is why I have come to give you this bracelet. Anyone who wears it will be exempted from the trial and can have an audience with the Patriarch of the Hartwell Clan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No thanks,\" Alex replied in a heartbeat. \"I'll pass.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"... Huh?\" Roselia, who was about to hand over the bracelet to the young man, paused because she thought she had misheard him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir Alex, did you just say that you'll pass up the opportunity to wear this bracelet and get exempted from the trial?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yep.\" Alex nodded. \"As my master's disciple, how can I possibly cheat on something like this? I want to gain the qualifications to meet the Patriarch of the Hartwell Clan fair and square. I have no intention of taking the easy way out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man's face was filled with righteousness, but he was starting to feel anxious deep inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to his estimation, he could farm thirty to fifty stat points if he cleared the trial normally, which would be a big boon to his stats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he possibly give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Meet the Patriarch of the Hartwell Clan? No thanks! No one is taking away these stat points from me!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roselia, who had no idea that Alex only wished to farm stat points, looked at the young man with admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Instead of taking the easy way out, he chose to challenge the trial fair and square...' Roselia thought admiringly. 'It seems that I have underestimated the Young Master's disciple. Maybe I shouldn't have looked down on him when he first arrived.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cairo and Ramza, who also heard Alex's declaration, were moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You got a good disciple,\" Ramza said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cairo only smiled at his grandfather's praise, but, deep inside, he was also touched to hear that his disciple wished to take this challenge as a man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately for Alex, the one who really wanted to meet him was not Cairo but Ramza himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bring him here kicking and screaming if you have to,\" Ramza ordered to no one in particular.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Sir!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several shadows moved from the corner of the room and vanished from sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Roselia was about to ask Alex to reconsider, she heard a voice inside her head, which made her stop whatever she was going to do next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm sorry, Sir Alex,\" Roselia bowed apologetically, \"but the Master's words are absolute.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex suddenly had a bad premonition, making him take a guarded stance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dim Dim!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man hurriedly turned to look behind him because Dim Dim had warned him that someone was there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first figure he saw was someone wearing a skin-tight, black Ninja outfit. Before Alex could even do anything, the Ninja lightly touched his chin, making him feel as if he had lost control over his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex staggered as his knees gave way and fell face-first on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least, that was what was supposed to happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, instead of hitting the ground, his face hit something soft instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh my~ I guess you're one of those aggressive types, huh?\" the Ninja lady said with some amusement while patting the young man's head, which was currently planted on her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"W-Why?\" Alex asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why?\" she giggled. \"It's because the Master wishes for it, that's why. Roselia, the bracelet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a brief moment, the maid hesitated, but since this was the Patriarch's wish, she decided to obey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as she was about to put the bracelet on the young man's wrist. Alex gritted his teeth and forced himself to say something first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait!\" he shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dim Dim!\" echoed Dim Dim, who was glaring at the Ninja and the maid as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm sorry, Sir Alex,\" Roselia replied. \"This is the will of the Patriarch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two other Ninjas appeared beside Roselia, ensuring that Alex wouldn't be able to escape no matter what.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they thought that the cute little creature perched on Alex's head was harmless, they didn't want to take any chances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Dim Dim showed any signs of resistance, they would also neutralize it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me say something first!\" Alex pleaded. \"If you agree, I will comply and will no longer resist!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that he only had a small window of opportunity, so he decided to bet everything on the next words that he was about to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roselia paused before glancing at the Ninja who was holding Alex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ninja just shrugged to indicate that she didn't mind waiting for the young man to finish whatever he wanted to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A-At least, carry me over the stairs without wearing that bracelet,\" Alex insisted. \"I want to do it right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ninjas glanced at each other and gave the young man a thumbs-up in their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will allow it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice filled with authority descended upon the group, which made Roselia pull back her hand that was holding the bracelet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, then. Time to go, sweetheart.\" The Ninja lady giggled before carrying the young man like a princess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then sprinted up the staircase, flanked by the two Ninjas who served as escorts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roselia also sprinted up the stairs, following them with ease despite wearing a maid's clothes with a long skirt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Ninja reached the halfway mark, she felt Alex's body getting heavier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant that the trial was still active on the young man, who was being subjected to this immense pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the Ninja only smiled faintly as if this wasn't a big deal to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her speed slowed down a bit as she continued to run up the rest of the stairs, but she didn't stop running.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Constitution +1]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Strength +1]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Dexterity +1]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Agility +1]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Intelligence +1]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Constitution +...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex looked at the blue window screen in front of him and was doing a fist pump internally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The consecutive notification sounds inside his head were like music to his ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he expected, he was able to gain the stat points because the effect of the trial was still active on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had worn the bracelet, he would have no longer needed to do the trial. The bonus stat points would've been gone as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to how happy he was, Alex had the strong urge to give the Ninja carrying him a kiss. This had been the fastest way he gained stat points ever since he arrived in Arcana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they finally reached the top of the staircase, Alex was laughing giddily inside his heart because he had managed to get thirty-five stat points in less than a minute.\u003C\u002Fp>",1407,"2026-06-09T06:11:16.043Z",1,"novelbin.me","2a57ec8504e8abf55780a5c35a1e3b0cbd4bd3bd62ff433eff5e6d70c51a006a","endless-leveling-done-right-chapter-36","endless-leveling-done-right-chapter-34",682,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fendless-leveling-done-right-cover.jpg"]
