Alex was happy to hear that the Artifact God would be teaching him directly in a few years. It was a little sad that he would have to wait, but the fact that his worries about her rejecting him were now gone was enough. On top of that, he was also fully allowed to keep the sword that belonged to her master.
Alex had skirted the truth a little by not really expressing just how impressive the metal that formed the sword was, but he believed that he was allowed at least that much leeway. If he told her that this metal might just be more impressive than any Primordial body part she could find, then it would have been impossible to keep it.
As he walked out of her courtyard, he considered what it was that he should be doing going forward as well.
'I guess all I can do is cultivate mostly, right?' Alex thought.
That was the most important thing he could do, after all.
