Chapter 32: New Comer, Young Alpha! (1/2)
”Hasty eh? Well, it doesn't matter, you kids can call me Prof. K but you might know me as the... Green Messenger”, the figure didn't emit any elemental properties as if he's just a normal person but after feeling the pressure from him, Rex and Adhara know for a fact he's not normal.
'Green Messenger? Is this the person mentioned by Mr. Joseph?', Rex thought, he remembers exactly the words said by Mr. Joseph about this person.
'In the bleak night when the night is at its coldest, the green messenger will come and visit. His eyes are venomous green, his skin is paler than the mighty vampires, he will come...so be ready', that is the words said by Mr. Joseph that Rex recalled.
The green messenger looks at them, although his eyes are covered by his mask, Rex can still feel his gaze on him.
Rex tries to look at the green messenger stats,
<green messenger=””></green>
<stats></stats>
Unidentified
Looking at this, Rex was shocked!
This is the first time he can't see the stats of a person, usually, if the person is a high-ranking, the system cannot calculate their stats but can still identify their power and name.
But this figure in front of him, not only Rex can't see his stats, Rex can't even see his real name!
The green messenger straighten up his body and said, ”Let's see what you can do”
He brought his hands up aiming towards Rex and Adhara, Rex and Adhara put their guard up expecting an attack.
Flick!
The green messenger flicks his fingers, Rex and Adhara were confused the flick looks ordinary when suddenly,
WHOOSH!
The flick produces two concentrated white forces that shot out like a bolt, it makes a whooshing sound as it pierces the wind.
The attack is so fast that Rex doesn't even have the time to dodge before the attack hits him,
”Akhh!”, Rex was pushed a couple of meters back because of the impact, he touches his chest in pain.
Surprisingly, unlike Rex, Adhara manage to dodge the attack by twisting her body to the sides.
”Hoo, so that girl is gifted in speed. Let's try that again”, the green messenger sent another round of attacks by flicking his fingers.
The same concentrated white force appears and shot out like a bolt,
Rex already anticipated the attack, ”Force Beam!”, Rex musters the force in his body and sent a white beam.
BANG!!
The collision between them explodes sending a gust of winds to the surrounding,
Rex looks around, he remembers that there are a couple of students chilling here on the rooftop but what he saw is a couple of unconscious students lying on the floor.
'So he knocked them all out first before he comes to me, I didn't even sense that', Rex thought in surprise, his senses never fail him but this guy is on another level.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
”So you are gifted in strength? You even comprehend a gist of Force, what a genius”, the green messenger said excitedly
”But that girl over there...”, the green messenger glance at Adhara then he continues, ”You are not only gifted in speed but you are also a Fire Elementalist”
Adhara's body is covered with a red hue, the second attack seems to be faster than before so she is forced to use her fire element.
Rex then opened his clothes revealing the tattoo on his chest and said, ”What is this? Explain!”
The green messenger glance at him, ”So you are Rex Silverstar, the guy who holds two medals of honor, the heroes of Dwight City”
”Allow me to explain, You have been chosen by our organization and I'm here to test you”, the messenger said while spreading out his hands.
Rex knitted his brows and replied sharply, ”Why am I chosen? What if I don't want to be chosen?”
”HAHAHA”, the green messenger laughs.
”You will eventually know, for now, take this”, the green messenger tossed an injection at Rex.
Rex caught it and looks at it briefly, he saw there is a black substance in it that looks sketchy.
He then asks, ”What is this?”
The green messenger tilted his head and answered, ”Why don't you try it? Maybe it's a poison or maybe it's an enhancement. Anyway, my work here is done”, after saying that, the green messenger explodes into green smoke before vanishing from sight.
Rex and Adhara lower their guard when they feel the green messenger has already left, they look at each other briefly before they sit back down tiredly.
”You got some explaining to do”, Adhara said while knitting her eyes in suspicion.
Rex can only smile wryly before he tells everything to Adhara.
Adhara listens attentively then she said, ”I once heard from the lecturers the other day about this organization called the Stygian Crow Organization. The lecturers said that they are the rival of the Ochyra University or rather the rival of all Awakened”
Hearing this Rex questioned, ”Why did they say that?”
Adhara holds her chin in thought, she then said while recalling the lecturer's conversations, ”If I remember correctly, they are non-Awakened who strive for power by using body enhancement...”
After talking to Adhara for a while, Rex returns to his room.
He crashed into the bed feeling tired and sore, 'That green messenger guy, why do he have to hit me so hard'
While lying on the bed, Rex recalled that he still has 5 Skill Upgrade points that he still hasn't use.
He then opened the system and looks at his stats briefly,
<stats></stats>
Name: Rex Silverstar
