Chapter 12: Rex vs Laura (2/2)
Slash!
Slash!
Slash!
'Shit, I can't see her movements! She's aiming my blindspot!', Rex thought while he's being slash again and again by Laura.
'He has incredible strength but in the end, he's only a non-awakened person. This is his limit', Laura thought as she sent slash after slash.
Laura's speed is overwhelming, She is nicknamed the Water Vortex by the students because of her speed.
Laura appeared in front of Rex, ”Surrender Rex, There's nothing to prove. Your talent is limited”, she said. She flicks her katana, Rex's blood splat to the ground coloring the sand golden red.
Rex exhales a heavy breath as his eyes spark, His body is dripping with his blood but his eyes show no sign of yielding.
Out of nowhere, anger welled up inside him.
A dinging sound seeped into his ears as notifications appear,

Rex glanced at the training hall window, the sky is already dark with a crescent moon decorating it.
After hours of fighting between students, the day unknowingly turns into night.
The corner of Rex's mouth curved up, the anger within him somehow feels good that It's started to get addicting.
Laura raises her brows in confusion, 'Why is he smiling? Let's just end this'
Swoosh!
Vanishing from her spot, Laura appears behind Rex who is standing straight and thrust her katana towards Rex's back.
'This is the end', Laura thought as she closes her eyes waiting for her katana to pierce Rex. But the scream of pain that she anticipated never come.
Laura opens her eyes and gasp in shock,
Rex held the katana by his hand!
The other students also suck in cold breath in surprise, Mr. Joseph smiles while looking at Rex.
'What?!', Laura wanted to pull the katana away but she's can't even move it as if the katana is held by god himself.
Rex pulls his hands back while inhaling, his figure is towering in front of Laura.
Laura was frozen in place, Rex's bearing intimidated her so much that her legs turn to jelly.
Rex's fist makes a cracking sound as he gripped it tightly,
”Ground Splinter!”,
Rex launches his fist towards Laura, his muscle bulge with might as the fist descends. Rex now looks like a demigod sent by god himself with his towering figure.
Swoosh!!
The fist travels like a jet, it is so fast that only some students saw its trajectory.
BAM!!
The students look away in fright, 'Is that even a non-awakened person?!!', This thought travels into every student's head.
Whooshh!
The sand was blown by the force of the fist, The sand blocks the arena hindering other student's vision.
The sand slowly fades away as Rex's shadowy figure starting to appear and another person in front of Rex, the person blocks Rex's fist.
Rex was surprised after seeing who is in front of him,
Mr. Joseph steps in and blocks Rex's attack, His hands are covered by rocks as he grips Rex's fist.
”Rex, this is a spar. I already assessed both of your capabilities so get down from the arena now”, Mr. Joseph said while smiling.
Laura fell to the ground behind Mr. Joseph with a dumbfounded expression,
Rex looks at Laura and decided to ignore her as he walks down from the arena.
Everybody makes way for Rex, They are all scared of him now. No matter how anyone looks at it, Rex is not normal.
They all nodded in realization, 'Well if he's really a normal person, There's no way he could get those medals'.
Rex walks leisurely when suddenly,
”REX! YOU DARE TRY TO HIT MY SISTER!”
A loud sound comes from someone behind Rex,
Rex turns his body to look at the source of the voice, It is Tom Frostbrand, Laura's brother.
”Eat my magic! Water Spike!”, rows of spikes made of water burst from the ground aiming at Rex.
Laura noticed this and screamed, ”Tom! DON'T!!”
Rex dodged the water spike by stepping to the sides,
Tom leaped towards Rex and sent out a punch while a faint blue aura covers his body.
Rex caught Tom's fist and stopped it midtrack,
”YOU BASTARD! LET GO!”, Tom struggles to break free but Rex's grip is too strong for him.
Tom is just a rank two awakened, even his sister Laura can't beat Rex in terms of strength so how can a measly rank two awakened stand in front of Rex.
”Piss off!”, Rex said as he kicks Tom's gut that sends him screeching away while holding his stomach in pain.
Blood leaked from the corner of Tom's mouth, His eyes burned with hatred.
Mr. Joseph didn't interfere when he saw Rex turns around and left Tom alone not intending to continue.
Mr. Joseph looks at Rex, although he is smiling his hand that is covered by rocks has a crack on it.
'He really is not normal'
Meanwhile, Rex left Tom alone with a smile on his face especially after seeing the notifications that appeared in front of him.
