Alex took down 3 reapers before his Might wore off. He used the ability once again.

[Ablity, Might. -20 Mana.]

[Mana- 23]

Alex looked at the prompt and hurried to take on the reapers. He punched a reaper before it could jump on him. Alex then stabbed another reaper and jumped to a third reaper. He continued to beat down the reapers as quickly as he possibly could. After 2 minutes, Might wore off again. Alex looked at the remaining reaper and smiled, "It's finally over." He kicked the reaper at its stomach and stabbed it when it landing on the ground. 

Alex looked up to the sky and took a deep breath. The people who were at the street end looked at Alex and clapped their hands. Alex waved back as he heard their cheers. "Well, Well… Well. You did pretty well for that battle. I would have recommended doing something more than just taking on all eight of them at once but I guess I can understand. Plus, It doesn't matter to me. It'll be more entertaining now that I get to watch you battle with another batch of reapers with less energy and minor injuries and cuts. Now, take a minute break. After that, it's round two. This time, Take your time and plan a little more." Imani said as she watched Alex through the screen. 

Alex nodded and sat down on a nearby ledge. He looked at his clothes to see them covered in blood. As Alex rested, Imani and the scientist had a weird smile on their faces, 'Now that you've experienced a Simulation, I want to see how powerful you truly are… This time, we'll have more special Reapers…' The scientist seemed to understand Imani's smile and spoke, "You were all friendly and caring before but that look on your face is evil, I like it! Is it a higher rank reaper? Or something else?" He seemed to be in joy to watch Alex struggle a bit fighting the reapers.

Imani shook her head when she saw the scientist and thought, 'I just want to see how strong he is and if he has other abilities hidden inside… This guy just wants to watch Alex have a hard time… Note to self, Never get too close to him.' Imani turned back to Alex on the screen. 

Alex looked at his health and sighed, 'I did take some hits and cuts here and there but at least it was nothing huge. I want to use my healing but I can't because I'd waste the opportunity to use Might in battle.' Alex then had an idea, "What if I…" Alex used heal to regenerate some of his wounds. But he only used it for a few seconds. 

[Health - 62]

[Mana- 20]

Alex smiled when he saw his lmani. 'I can still use might without a problem and I got 5 more health points so I should be safer. It also healed up the small cuts on my body so now I won't have to worry about them tearing up while I'm in a battle.'

Imani and the scientist looked at Alex with shocked faces. Imani was only a bit in shock while the scientist thought that he was crazy, "What the hell is he? Looking at his fight, I swear to god that he must be a fighter. Focused on using his dagger to kill. Wasn't his ability just Magical Casting? Making weapons to use? Why does this kid all of a sudden have healing abilities… Even after taking on an entire game on his own, he still has the energy to even heal himself…" He rambled as he looked at Alex.

Imani nodded and took a deep breath, 'Sometimes, you'll meet someone with intense powers and do nothing about it… That's what Master Ryan said to me when he talking about Hana… And I think I feel the same about Alex, His Powers and everything else he can do right now is just something that I can't reach. I was already told that Alex could heal but seeing it is surprising… A Magical Caster who can also heal, The only one in the world who can do such a thing. That is the person who I am training right now. I can't help but feel a bit proud of myself for getting this job.' Imani smiled. She then turned to the keyboard and started writing something. 

Alex, who was resting suddenly felt a huge vibration. He looked around but there was no gate. Another scream came from a distance. Alex quickly ran in that direction past a few streets to see a gate. Standing in front of the gate were 5 long ranged reapers and 10 short ranged reapers. Alex's eyes opened wide when he saw the number of reapers. He took a deep breath and cursed, "Well Fuck." He looked around to make a plan but his heart dropped a beat when Alex saw a man being held by the reapers. 

Alex knew that it was a simulation but he didn't want to let someone die, even if they were real or not. It was his morality that causes Alex to burst into action. Alex ran and threw the dagger towards the reaper's feet. Imani watched Alex and sighed, "I guess that's a good thing to have but still, jumping straight into it without a proper plan is just idiocy. Alex, Why are you just setting yourself for failure?" She watched as Alex ran toward the reaper barehanded. 

"Kwekh!" The reaper screamed as the dagger was lodged into its leg. It dropped the man and looked at Alex in fury. Alex took a sigh of relief and ran towards the man, avoiding the reaper. A few arrows hurled towards Alex, even tearing his tracksuit. "Son of a.." Alex screamed as an arrow pierced into his shoulder, "The same place!" Alex didn't have time to take out the arrow. He carried the man and took him to safety. After running some distance, Alex helped the man on the ground and ran back to the reapers. 

"Now we can fight!" Alex roared as he ran to the reaper which he had initially attacked. Alex took out the arrows from his shoulder and stabbed the reaper in its eye. The reaper groaned in pain but was quickly taken out by Alex's punch to its face. Alex, still being shot arrows towards him, quickly ran away after taking the dagger. 'It gave me strength abilities but why not movement abilities? I'll have to save up those energy stones to get a movement ability so I can be faster… Might isn't cutting it out for me. I'll only use it when I need to be in combat, not when I need to run away." Alex hid behind a building and took a breather. 

Alex quickly thought of a plan, which was very similar to his previous one, "Take out the long ranged reapers then go for the others!" Alex roared to pump himself up and ran towards the reapers. He used might for the last time and ran towards the long ranged reapers. On his way, a few close ranged reapers tried to stop him but Alex dodged them all. As he ran, Alex was shot two more times by the flurry of arrows, one in his stomach and one in his thigh. 'Hurts like hell.' Alex groaned once more but kept on running. "Finally!" Alex roared as he jumped towards the first reaper. He quickly stabbed the reaper, killing it instantly. 

Alex looked at the remaining 4 and smiled, "It'll be over soon." He smiled and he jumped to the next reaper. Alex had a harder time killing that reaper but he finally stabbed it in its chest. A dagger sliced past Alex's face, missing him by only a bit. Alex dodged back and punched the reaper at its chin. 'As Midnight said, It'll be out cold if I punch it on the chin.' Alex thought as he went in for the kill but was denied when an arrow flew past him, followed by 2 more. 

Alex cursed once more and jumped towards the third long ranged reaper to stab it but this time, the reaper seemed to be faster. It dodged Alex and shot another arrow at Alex, hitting him at the same shoulder that he was hit at. By this time, Alex had 3 arrows lodged in his body. He gritted his teeth and pulled the same arrow out. He then ran and slid under the reaper, stabbing the reaper in the leg and cutting his head from behind. "2 more." Alex smiled. He looked at his health and shook his head, "I'll need to finish this quickly."

[health - 43]

Alex then jumped to the 2nd reaper, "It's your turn now." However, as soon as Alex jumped towards the reaper, Instead of it jumping back to dodge Alex, the reaper jumped towards Alex, it's bow still in hand. It was trying to shoot Alex in Midair.
