Chapter 10: First day of entering Ocyra University (1/2)

Rex walks home lazily, hearing those harsh words that come out of his childhood friend really punch him in his heart.

Usually, Rex will not care about what other people said and think about him but when it's Laura who said it, it's a whole different story.

'Why am I so down for? I have the system, I will be invincible later on! We'll see about it then' Rex thought cheering himself up from the gloomy mood.

He runs back to his house and changes into casual clothes,

Rex wears his favorite grey sweater with a white undershirt beneath it, ripped jeans gripped his legs tightly and casual white shoes, He didn't forget to wear his necklace and a watch he bought not too long ago during his military break as his accessories, and he also one strap his bag that has his laptop in it.

With his muscular figure, he looks more manly than before.

Although his family is not that well-off, Ms. Greene's new husband is a pretty capable man so he bought a car for Rex to use. His mother's new husband Robert is a normal person that works in a company, He is pretty high on the ladder too so Rex rarely meets him.

Rex gets into his sedan car and set off to Ochyra University,

The traffic is not bad so Rex arrived at the university in just twenty minutes,

Arriving at the university, He gets out of his car and stands straight examining the surrounding.

The university is packed with students, the laughter of students fills the atmosphere as Rex glance left and right. Some students even play with their elemental control, juggling a fireball, pranking their friends by flushing them with water, some can even control wind elements to make a barrier for themselves to avoid bumping into people.

Yesterday, His mother told him that the Ochyra University is a school for Awakened. So Rex is a minority here, unlike regular universities.

Only one out of a hundred is lucky enough to become an Awakened, these Awakened get their power from an event called 'Awakening'. Awakening can happen anytime and anywhere, usually, it is triggered when the person is in a life and death moment but not always.

The passing girls glance at Rex in reflex, Rex can be considered good-looking so he already used to it. Contrasting with what Rex thinks, the girls glance because Rex seems to have some kind of magnet attracting the opposite gender.

Rex walks inside the university,

He asks around and finally found the administration room, It is a see-through room located near the entrance.

Rex sits in front of one of the receptionists, the receptionist is a woman wearing formal clothes with long black hair.

”Excuse me, I'm already a registered student but I just got in this day”, Rex said to the receptionist.

The receptionist furrowed her brows after observing Rex for a couple of seconds and replied, ”May I know what is your name?”, she said with a lazy tone.

”Rex Silverstar”, Rex replied plainly.

After hearing Rex's name the receptionist's face lit up in surprise, She brings her forced smile and said, ”Oh my apologies sir Rex, you will attend the first-year class 1-C. I will inform the class 1-C homeroom lecturer so you can go ahead and attend the class immediately”

”Can you tell me where it is?”, Rex asked after he glances at this maze-like castle university.

The receptionist smiled and said, ”My apologies, there is a computer map at the entrance of this room. You can just type the destination”

After saying his thanks, Rex left the administration room and find his classroom.

After Rex left, the other receptionist asks the woman, ”Is that The Rex Silverstar?”

The woman nods her head in a daze, then she continues, ”That is the guy who got two medals of honor, Although it seems that he is not an awakened”

”Really?” asked the other receptionists.

”I don't feel any elemental properties from him”, the woman said assuring her assertions.

The other receptionist's face dimmed, ”I thought that he will be cool and mighty, who would've thought the heroes of Dwight City is just a regular dude. What a disappointment”

After finding his class, Rex heaves a sigh of relief.

'What the hell is this university, It's too big. Even if I know this class before, I still need to walk for like 15 minutes', Rex screamed inside his head.

1-C Class is located on the eighth floor, It is on the corner of the floor with a more luxurious door.

'So this is the elite class I assume? Pretty nifty eh' Rex thought after looking at the majestic door with roaring panther symbol carved on it.

Rex's heart started to beat faster, It's been a long time he's been in this kind of situation.

He takes a deep breath and opens the door,

A silent vibe greets him after he enters the classroom, the lecturer pause in the middle of explaining something as he glances at Rex.

All of the student's eyes lock on to him making him even more pressured,

”Oh, you must be the new kid. You can call me Mr. Joseph, Come here and introduce yourself to the class”, said the lecturer. The lecturer signal Rex to comes closer with a gentle smile, he looks like a nice person.

The lecturer is a middle-aged man with a scrawny figure, He's wearing glasses and a foot shorter than Rex. Although he looks weak, Rex can feel his senses automatically becomes alert.

Rex stands in front of the class under everyone's gaze,
