112 Breathing?

The beautiful girl was confused and depressed, she had studied harder than ever refusing to eat or sleep only to be asked about her appearance and be insulted repeatedly!

"Now it's your turn!" The three-star alchemist turned to the beauty after chasing away practically everyone.

"If I asked for your hand in marriage at this moment, would you accept it?!" The Alchemist asked his question while systematically proposing to the beauty.

"No! Definitely not, how would I dare teacher, how can an ugly little pig like me lust after swan meat like you!" The Beauty had lost all hope and had now lost all sense of respect for this examiner. And even her words were entirely sarcastic and vain.

Why would she marry an Old bastard like him when she lacked nothing in life? The only reason she practiced Alchemy was that she enjoyed it as a nice hobby, nothing more, she just enjoyed the knowledge she could grasp through the profession, but other than that, neither the glory nor the salary enticed her.

This was because this beauty was the one and only daughter to a sovereign from the upper realm! And with that, she lacked nothing except things to pass her time with.

"What if I permit you to lust over my meat?" The Alchemist asked, he was proud of himself, he sure was a charmer, even a beauty like the one before him felt she was inferior when he asked her hand in marriage.

"You might permit it, but the heavens and my consciousness won't!" The beauty was about to lose her mind, why did this examiner come off as incredibly unconventional, did he perhaps have a screw loose in his head. She has already answered the question so why did he keep on asking after that, he should have either said she passed or failed. right?

"So examiner did...I pass?" The beauty just wanted to get out of here right now, it didn't matter if she went back home or to the next phase of the test as long as she got away from this psycho!

"You...have passed!" The Alchemist decided to take a new approach, why not just let the woman pass and work at the association, with his connections to the elder it wasn't that difficult anyway, then with both of them spending so much time together in the association feelings are destined to erupt!

"Really?! I passed?!" The Beauty couldn't believe her ears, had this crazy man passed her just like that?! But before the woman could cheerfully go to the next phase of the exams the man said another thing which made her even more dumbfounded.

"Yes, and not only have you passed, but you are also the One-hundredth person to pass my class, as such you are entitled to three amazing rewards!"

"One, you will be directly made into a three-star alchemist like me without having to go into the second phase of the exams!"

"Two, you will have the honor of being an employee of the Association after you get your alchemist robe!"

"And three, this will probably make you happier than the other two rewards combined! You will get to have an exclusive one on one training session with me, a senior three-star alchemist, to help you improve even further and reach the fourth star in your lifetime!"

The Alchemist then didn't wait for hear her response as he ran out of the examination room to go fetch the woman a three-star alchemist robe, he would of course have to plead with his uncle a little but it wasn't a difficult matter since that Uncle was also a high ranking elder in the association.

"What?!!!" The Beauty had taken nearly five minutes to wake up from her daze, each reward, especially the first and last rewards had truly shocked her to the core.

"I'm back, did you miss me?!" The Alchemist had returned just as the beauty woke up from her daze, and just as the two of them were about to speak at the same time, a mysterious dark vortex appeared right in the middle of the two, and from the vortex came two withered old hands followed by a complaining voice.

"Hmph, stupid brat! Always thinking with his ass, why on earth would he buy an alchemist robe just to cheat and scheme, why can't he just domineeringly kill all those that block his path like a true man?!" The Old geezer was of course complaining about Nick who wasn't here to defend himself.

The hand then slowly floated over to the Three-star alchemist, then before the man could react, it began undressing him immediately.

There were two alchemist robes in the room, one was the one the Alchemist was wearing and the other was the new one the Alchemist brought for the girl just now. But no matter how much the Old geezer would have enjoyed seeing Nick put on the female Alchemist robe, he still had to follow some guidelines set by the system which stated that he couldn't stray too much from the item displayed in the system shop.

At the moment, whenever the man attempted to stop the mysterious hand, the hand would directly smack the Alchemist in the face knocking him senseless and would continue with the undressing aggressively.

"Hmph what are you acting all shy for, can't you see I'm doing you a favor, after I undress you then wouldn't the beautiful lady over there have to see you naked, then you could ask her to take responsibility for you, after all, a man's body can't just be seen by anyone. If she just enjoys the view of your body without allowing you to do the same then she would be an animal!"

The Mysterious hand spoke every word solemnly as if they were the truth, this was a little trick the Old geezer picked up while watching Nick, anything could seem true if said solemnly or sternly enough, and if people still didn't believe you after that then it means you weren't stern enough, try holding a sharp object as you speak it helps some times.

"Ahhhhh!" The Alchemist was stunned for a moment, and then after giving the beauty by the side a quick stare, he began hurriedly helping the mysterious hand to get him undressed.

"Oh no, you don't!" The beauty reacted like a cat whose tail was stepped on as she shrieked and began wrestling with both the mysterious hand and the three-star alchemist to keep him dressed, the woman had heard the mysterious hand taking about her taking responsibility by also showing the alchemist her naked body and she would rather die than have to do that!

And so began a weird situation where men were trying their best to undress a man and a woman was fighting to keep him dressed as if her life depended on it!

"Test taker, let go of my clothes!" The Alchemist was anxious, as soon as he heard he could see the beauty naked he had lost all reason. He was not so convinced before and was just taking a chance, but when he saw the anxious look on the girl's face he knew the possibility was a lot higher.

"Yes beauty, let go and just enjoy the show!"The Mysterious hand then smacking her into the sidewall, then with her embedded into a wall he and the Alchemist finally finished taking the clothes off.

But the beauty had just gotten out of the wall and the first thing she saw was the robe in the mysterious hand's...hands. And without hesitation, she chose to close her eyes and made a break for the exit.

Yet coincidentally the mysterious hands had also floated to the exits before opening the dark vortex. And just as the vortex was about to close the beauty stumbled and rolled on the ground and into the vortex!

Inside a dark space, the Old geezer had opened a portal right beside Nick and sent the robes in, but just as the robes were about to enter the portal the beauty who came into the dark space rolling went directly into the new portal, leaving the Old geezer dumbfounded, what had just happened.

Nick then got an abrupt system prompt.

Ding! Congratulations host for...breathing, you have successfully breathed so the system will reward you with a woman along with the robe you purchased!

Then Baam, the beauty landed head first right beside Nick, then rolled a little before stopping.

"Breathing?!" Nick couldn't believe his ears.

What the fuck just happened, Nick and the Old geezer were both dumbfounded, but the geezer was more surprised with the system, what kind of system notification is that 'Congratulations for breathing?' Did the system hate admitting a mistake that much, What was next, a reward for shitting?! The Old geezer started looking down on the system.

Ding! The system's guide has made a mistake, as punishment, you will not be allowed to smack anyone during the next few shop purchases!

The Old geezer listened in horror, that punishment was way crueler than just taking away his legs, here in this space he would often be bored, lonely, and sad, but once Nick bought something and he was tasked in bringing it, he would relieve all that emotional frustration through a smack or two, and with that smack his will to live on, would return, but if the system took that away from him even for a little while then...
