"What are you two doing?", A domineering voice questioned from behind Rex.
Rex tries to retreat from his spot by jumping away but suddenly an ice tentacle holds onto his limbs, he then looks at the source of this domineering voice.
Behind him stands a black-haired woman with tan skin, she wears a formal outfit with glasses on. She is holding a book and her gaze is sharp as a sword, she is pretty but her expression now gives off a warning sign to Rex.
Rex observed the woman and said with a respectful tone, "Miss must be the librarian, I apologize if I make a ruckus. It's just and my friends over there who likes to spar whenever we et", he said politely.
The woman's eyes knitted, she gazed at him observingly.
Under the gaze of the woman, Rex feels uncomfortable as if she can see through his lie.
The woman turns her head and asks Noah, "Is that true?", she said with a cold tone.
Noah sweats profusely, after mustering himself, "Yes miss Lia, We won't do it again"
Noah decided to cooperate with Rex to avoid trouble, the sester has just begun so getting a bad note is not good for him.
The woman stares at Noah and Rex and sighs, "Don't do it again, this is the first and last warning", she said with a warning tone.
"Thank you miss, It will not happen again", Rex and Noah replied in unison.
The ice tentacle lets go of him, Rex's arms and legs are numb because of the coldness of the tentacle.
Rex and Noah exchange glances, one gives a mocking look and one is burning with anger. After the exchange, both of them threw their head away and walks towards the exit.
Just when Rex wanted to get out of here, "You, stay here", Miss Lia's voice creeps into his ear making the hair on his neck stand up.
Rex freezes on his spot, 'What did she want now?', he turns to his back and approaches Miss Lia.
"Do you need sothing from miss?", Rex asked with a polite tone, especially when he saw Miss Lia's stats.
Race: Human
Power: Rank 5 Awakened(Early) - Ice Elentalist
ntal: ???
Strength: ???
Agility: ???
Endurance: ???
Intelligence: ???
'This librarian is strong! This is the first ti I saw a rank 5 Awakened', Rex thought while marveling at her prowess.
Lia looks at Rex for a couple of seconds that feel like an eternity for Rex, she then said, "What is your na?"
"Rex Silverstar", Rex replied truthfully not intending to lie in the slightest.
Hearing Rex's na, Lia's eyes get a little bit wide in surprise which Rex saw even for a glimpse of a second.
She then asks, "How can a non-Awakened like you contend with a rank three awakened?", her expression is flat but Rex can tell that he cannot leave until she is satisfied with his answer.
Rex is brainstorming his brain to find a good answer, he considered himself a direct guy so he is having a hard ti thinking of an excuse.
Just as Lia wanted to say sothing, "Ms. Lia, what a surprise"
A skinny man walks towards Rex and Lia with little strides, It was Mr. Joseph!
'Why is he here? He usually stays inside the lecturer's room after finished lecturing, How co he's here', Rex thought after finding Mr. Joseph's appearance is strange.
"This student causes a scene in the library, I'm going to discipline him", Lia replied politely.
Mr. Joseph looks at Rex who is giving him a pleading look and said, "Oh? My apologies, this student of mine is a little rowdy but he's a good guy. As his lecturer, I will make sure he is well behaved"
Hearing this, Lia frown, "He's one of your students?"
"Yes of course, so if you'll excuse . I'm going to discipline my student now", Mr. Joseph said while pinching Rex's ear and brought him away.
Lia looks at them for a mont, her expression is changing occasionally before she turns around and left.
anwhile, Rex and Mr. Joseph are walking side by side.
Rex still feels that Mr. Joseph's appearance is too well-tid, he looks at Mr. Joseph's back while thinking about it.
His train of thoughts was stopped by Mr. Joseph, "Rex, tell . Are you one of the gifted?"
Rex knit his brows in confusion, "Gifted?"
"an Awakened is a magic practitioner that can control the elents, they are the pillar of humanity. A gifted is those who can't control elents but instead have physical properties that of a superhuman, they are the monsters of humanity", Mr. Joseph explained while putting his hands behind his back.
'If I rember correctly, during the ti I'm in the military there is a group of people called the Crow Angels. Their mbers are called the five ssengers, each of them is non-Awakened but has the power to fight three high-ranking supernatural and won. Their mbers have a black crow tattoo on their body, the crows have multiple pairs of wings and eyes', Rex thought after hearing what Mr. Joseph said.
Rex was deep in thought, 'I can use this to tell people the source of my power', Rex looks at Mr. Joseph who is also looking at him.
"This silence ans I'm correct, no? If that's the case", Mr. Jospeh's hand glows a black light, he presses his palm towards Rex's chest.
Rex didn't have any chance of resisting, His chest feels burnt and he also feels that sothing enters his body the mont Mr. Joseph's hand touches his chest.
After a mont, Mr. Joseph takes off his hand.
Mr. Joseph's back is facing Rex who is looking at his chest, Mr, Joseph then said, "In the bleak night when the night is at its coldest, the green ssenger will co and visit. His eyes are venomous green, his skin is paler than the mighty vampires, he will co...so be ready"
After saying that, Mr. Joseph was eaten by the ground and vanishes from Rex's sight.
Rex looks at his chest and finds a black crow tattoo with red eyes, he tries to rubs it off to no avail.
'What is this? Why there's a black crow tattooed on ?', Rex thought before he eventually gives up thinking and just let ti do its thing.
The day later,
"Rex! Are you still sleeping?!", a female voice shouted in front of Rex's room.
"REX! Hello!!", the voice keeps on blabbering, disturbing Rex's sleep.
There is too much event that happened yesterday, Rex is exhausted and wanted to sleep a little bit more but the female voice keeps on shouting.
Rex was annoyed, he gets up from his bed and shouted back, "ROSIE! LEAVE ALONE ALREADY!"
Rosie from the other side got hurt and replied angrily, "What?!! I'm just being a good girlfriend and wakes you up but this is what I get! Get out of there this instance!"
"NO! Leave alone!", Rex replied back while covering his head with a pillow.
"Open this door right now! Or I'll bust it open! Don't you dare think I'm not going to!", Rosie said while banging the door louder.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Rex is gritting his teeth in annoyance, He can't believe that he needs to argue this early in the morning.
BAM!
The door is busted open, Rosie walks inside with big strides.
"Crazy woman! Do you not respect others' privacy?!", Rex said helplessly, he is not in the mood for this but what can he do? nothing!
"How long are you going to sleep? Just wake up we need to...", Rosie stop mid-sentence when she saw Rex lying shirtless on the bed, his refined and muscular body makes her face blushed red.
She turns to her back and said, "Why are you shirtless? You pervert!"
Rex was speechless, 'How am I a pervert when I'm shirtless inside my own room!'
"What do you an pervert?! You are the perverted one busting inside people's room", Rex rebutted while throwing pillows at Rosie.
"You! I ca here with good intention hmph!", Rosie pouted while she folds her arms in front of her just under her chest.
Rex was stunned and gulps unconsciously, Rosie's folded arms are highlighting her bigger than average chest even more.
Rosie noticed Rex's gaze and shouted, "PERVERT!", she said before she stord out of Rex's room.
Rex shakes his head helplessly, 'She is the one who started it but I beco the villain'
"Get your ass to the class! Today is the field test, you better hurry before you got left behind", Rosie's voice seeped into Rex's room again which makes Rex jumped in shock.
He bolted to the bathroom before he put on his clothes and runs to the class.
Arriving at the class, everyone is already in their gear while Rex is only using his training outfit and his battle gloves.
Rex feels like a bum when he saw the other using fancy gear, 'I should buy myself equipnt later'
Instead of Mr. Joseph, another lecturer is in front of the class today.
Rex took a seat before the new lecturer explains the test, "Today you will be lead by , you can call Dave. Today you will go to the skeleton cetery and you will be graded, it's pretty simple you just have to kill as many skeletons as you can to get a higher score. there is also rank two skeleton knights there which will give you more score than the average skeletons"
The students broke into a discussion,
"Skeleton is the lowest level of supernatural, it supposed to be easy right?"
"It is easy but a skeleton knight is way stronger because of their defense"
"Will there be rewards for the top scorer?"
Dave smirked and said, "The top scorer will naturally be rewarded, If you guys are ready then let's move out. Let's gather at the train station in ten minutes, those who are late will be scored 0", Dave turns into a blur and disappear from the class.
Looking at this, the students imdiately run out of class heading to the train station lest they ca late and got 0 as their score.
Rex smiles in delight, "Let's grind so Exp!"
