Chapter 11: Arena (1/2)

'Why is my emotional aura so red she ask? Is it because I'm a werewolf now?' Rex thought, he decided to ask the system.

'System, Why is my emotional aura is red?', Rex asked inside his head.

A dinging sound was heard as the system answers,

<the user=”” is=”” a=”” half-blood,=”” werewolf=”” is=”” fueled=”” with=”” anger.=”” despite=”” you're=”” current=”” mood,=”” your=”” aura=”” will=”” always=”” be=”” red-blood=””></the>

Reading this, Rex nodded in affirmation. 'Just as I thought'

While Rex is talking to the system, silence covers both him and Adhara.

Finally, Adhara interrupted Rex, ”I only saw that kind of red Aura from a man that has his family slaughtered or...”, Adhara knit her eyes and said, ”A Supernatural”

Rex started to sweat under Adhara gazes,

Then suddenly, Adhara smiles and said, ”Well you probably have a reason to be that angry, Don't mind me”, she walks to the nearest weapon log leaving Rex.

”Phew, That girl seems to know everything. Scary!”, Rex said before sighing in relief.

Unknown to Rex, Adhara walks while looking down on the ground as if she's thinking. 'He's not normal, grieving people can be that angry but there are no people that can emit such negative aura'

Adhara looks to her back and saw Rex rubbing his chin in thought, 'There is a faint black aura amidst his red aura, I need to be careful around him'

After every student gathers inside the training hall, Mr. Joseph walks to the front of everyone and tells the students to pick their chosen types of weapons.

The training hall is big enough to play soccer inside of it, the ground is made of hard sand, It is still mild inside the training hall although there are no windows inside. All types of weapons decorate every nook of the room, some even emit a faint elemental aura. There is an Arena made for sparring located in the middle of the hall, The hall's wall seems sturdy and there is a translucent barrier covering the whole hall.

In this world, people already figured out to enhance weapons by merging them with elemental properties. The higher the Awakened ranks, the more powerful their weapons become. Although if a high-ranking Awakened imbued their elemental properties into a low-ranking Awakened weapon then it is either the weapon will be destroyed due to weak material or the low-ranking Awakened will not be able to wield it.

The weapons in the training hall don't only consist of traditional weapons such as sword, saber, and bow but also includes modern weapon such as rifles, shotguns, machine guns.

Rex doesn't like long-range weapons, he prefers a full-blown brawl so he circles around the hall trying to find his preferred weapon.

While circling around, Rex saw that Laura pick up a katana that looks exquisite and sharp.

Rex approached Laura and said, ”That katana is suitable for you As if it's made just for you”, Rex compliment Laura trying to ease the distance between them.

”That worth nothing coming out of your mouth”, she said while leaving Rex who is stunned speechless after hearing what she said.

'Fine! I won't bother you anymore!', Rex thought scowling. He resumes his weapon hunting.

The weapons inside the hall are so many making Rex dizzy just by looking at it, Rex wanted a type of battle gloves or a brass knuckle but he still didn't find any.

While walking around, Rex caught a glimpse of battle gloves but it is located on the top of the weapon log and it is too high to reach.

The gloves seem to call to him, 'It must be special then, Besides, I considered myself lucky'

Rex musters his power and jumps towards the battle gloves,

The battle gloves are like eight meters high but Rex nevertheless reaches them, He was surprised by his feat as well.

The students also look at Rex in confusion, ”Didn't he said that he's not an Awakened?”

”How can he jump so high? I certainly don't feel any elemental properties coming from him”

Rex heard the doubtful whispers and curse himself, 'I should've been more low-key, why did I attract needless attention'

Rex looks at the battle gloves and he instantly loves them!

The battle gloves look ordinary and are black in color, it is made of a smooth and sturdy material, It has a whitish-grey plate on the back of the hand to block objects and the best feature that Rex likes is that it has steel covering its whole knuckle! This weapon is a combination of brass knuckles and battle gloves! Exactly what Rex wanted.

He tries to wear it and it perfectly fits her hand, He's in love with this weapon so he can't help but rub it in delight.

'Why is it so light?' Rex thought, he then tries to touch the whitish-grey plate when suddenly,

<your stats=”” have=”” been=”” decreased=”” by=”” 20%=””></your>

Rex feels weaker after reading the notifications, 'Eh? What happened' he thought while still holding the gloves.

'Is this?', Rex looks at the gloves and widened his eyes in surprise.

'This plate is made of silver but is covered by stainless steel, Shit I'm a werewolf now. That explains the decrease in stats', he thought with a sad look after being reminded that he is no longer a human.

'I really turn into a werewolf didn't I?' he smiled wryly, He let go of the silver plate, and instantly he feels his body becomes normal.

It is a common knowledge that the Supernaturals is weak to silver object, especially werewolf. Silver is humanity's best weapon against the supernatural but the supernatural knew this so two years ago they raid most of humanity's silver mines which make silver scarce. Although, some high-ranking supernatural has immunity towards silver.

Rex looks around and noticed that almost all of the weapons are made of silver but the outer part of every weapon is covered by stainless steel.

After a while, every student already finished picking their own weapons.

Mr. Joseph scans the group of students with aggravating smile, ”Now, after picking your handpicked weapon you guys will be tested. Let's go to the arena, there you all will fight against each other while I will assess your skills on the side”

The student already expected this so they all nod their heads and circle around the arena,

”I will pick the student at random, so be prepared!” Mr. Joseph said as he out of nowhere makes a seat made of the ground and sits on it.
