Chapter 61: CHAPTER 61 – Luna’s Visit.
Alex spoke again and hit Ann\'s dagger with his simple sword with force. Ann stepped back and looked at her hand which was confused.
"That\'s what happens when you grip it too hard. Your hand\'s flexibility will be reduced, the movement speed of the wrists will be reduced, muscles will tire out faster, lower control over the weapon, and lower sensitivity."
Alex spoke and let his words sink into Ann\'s mind.
What Ann felt the moment Alex hit her dagger was lower control and flexibility as she felt that she could do better, but she was unable to do it.
"Your senses are better than what you had before so you can see and sense the movements but now your body is unable to keep up with it as your posture and movements are not good enough."
Alex spoke again, explaining things in detail.
It\'s been a week since the incident at the Auction house and Alex has started training both Alice and Ann for a longer period of time. He even trained both Alice and Ann alone for an hour so as to get their postures and fighting styles better.
Right now, it was Ann\'s time to train, and she was improving at a breakneck pace, which surprised even Alex.
"The time is almost up, so let\'s get it over with. Attack me with all you\'ve got."
Alex spoke and stood with his right shoulder and leg towards Ann and left shoulder on the opposite side. He held his sword in his right hand and gestured for Ann to attack, which she did, and ran towards Alex with her maximum speed.
*Clang* * Clang* *Swish*
Just like that, they continued to train, or more like Alex continued to teach Ann.

In the past week, the Association has been very busy dealing with the foreign Raiders and trying to search for any clues about the thieves.
The one leading the team was Stephan as he was sent by the Association, just in case.
Stephan, however, just wished for the thieves to not be found since he knew that once they were found he would have to fight.
Just fighting with one S-rank raider alone was hard for him, let\'s not talk about what would happen if he were to find himself in a situation similar to Luna\'s.
The Association searched everywhere but couldn\'t find anything on those people; it was like they came out of the Air and vanished in it. What they didn\'t know was that they almost reached the truth.
They did get one thing though, and that was that there was a suspicious person that came along with the white shark guild master. From his attire, one could see the resemblance between his and the attacker\'s attire, so they decided to confront the White Shark guild master.
Stephan had a bad feeling, but he still went along.

"What do you think?" Argon spoke as he looked at his clenched fists.
"You are now complete SS-rank," Aurora replied to Argon as she observed him.
Argon\'s body had grown a bit bulkier, but it was not noticeable as his height also increased a bit as well, balancing his body.
Argon had searched for the guy who suddenly disappeared from his sight during his fight with the intruders in the Auction Hall, but in the end, he couldn\'t find him or any information on him much to his frustration.
He had followed the whole path made by them below the ground, but he still couldn\'t find that guy.
He knew whose men it was and where to find him, but he also knew that he wouldn\'t be able to find them until he got his hand on one of their men.
"You think it\'s awake?" Argon turned towards Aurora who narrowed her eyes as she knew who Argon was talking about.
"That\'s the only conclusion I can get right now," Aurora spoke after looking at Argon for a while.
"I see. Looks like I need to get stronger faster." Argon spoke with resolute eyes and moved his hand towards a multi-colored ball kept beside him.
If someone with the knowledge of Raider-related stuff was here, then they could easily tell that it was a Mana core.
Argon had been emptying mana cores left in his treasury and after he used this one, there would only be 3 more left which he couldn\'t use.
If he did use them then he might have to answer to those people who were contributing as much as they could for the empire just to get enough credits to buy the mana cores from the treasury.
Argon then closed his eyes and started absorbing the energy inside of the mana core and Aurora just observed the situation, but then she suddenly remembered Alex\'s face causing a strange glint to pass through her eyes.
She still remembered how Alex was able to see her, but she had yet to tell Argon about that incident.
.............................................…
Luna Tuner, the manager of the Auction House had been very busy the whole week as she had to visit many guilds and short out the matter related to Auction.
But she was also worried about Monarch as she knew that even if there were no movements from his side, he would come for his money or mana core.
However, right now she decided to focus more on the job she had at hand.
She had been going to meet every raider that was invited to the Auction to either apologize or compensate, but who knows what she was actually doing.
She had been following her plan of using her skills to get what she wanted, or more as she had always been like this. Whenever she feels that things are getting out of hand, she simply uses her ability.
However, she was feeling rather nervous right now as she stood before the building of the Crimson Lotus guild.
Her senses were telling her that she would not be making any profits here and that she should not use her ability in front of the guild master.
"Good afternoon, Ms. Luna."
As she reached the gate of the Crimson Lotus guild\'s entrance, she was greeted by the gatekeeper.
"Good afternoon," She smiled at the receptionist which made the poor guy\'s heart beat like a drum.
"Guild master is waiting for you in the Office, please follow me."
The receptionist said after calming down a bit and started walking towards Alice\'s office after he saw Luna nod her head.
When they arrived at Alice\'s office the gatekeeper was about to knock on the gate but just then a soft female voice was heard from inside the room.
"Come in."
