Chapter 48: Lightning Elementalist (1/2)
The fight ended with Rex as its winner,
The students sent their praises to him, Rex becomes the idol of many guys and girls.
He got down from the Arena with heavy steps, he touches his armor that is already bent because of Gregg's magic,
'I can't overwhelm Gregg with my current power especially during the day, If I can't overwhelm Gregg then there's no chance I can put up a fight against Kevin Luc', Rex thought with a frown.
Rex knows who Kevin Luc is, Kevin always appear on the news as the genius Awakened at his young age.
He is a Fire Elementalist that has terrifying potential, he stepped into rank three in his early fifteen years old and has the capabilities to reach rank eight in his life. Defeating an early rank four with his rank three power, trained to fight Supernaturals, and even got recruited into the number one guild in Ratmawati City, the Fire of Doom guild.
Compared to Kevin, the current Rex will have no chance.
'I need to get stronger, but how', Rex fell into deep thought, he held his chin while walking past the crowd heading to Rosie and Adhara.
Before Rex even got near to Rosie and Adhara, Rosie already runs to him and hugs him.
”REX!!”, She said sweetly.
Rex was surprised but he already got used to Rosie, Adhara also approach him and said, ”Congratulation, the Battle Gloves seems to be useful”
”Yeah, It's really great! Thanks!”, Rex replied while taking the battle gloves off.
Rosie pouted on the side, she's being left behind by Adhara because of that stupid battle gloves but then she notices that Rex is zoning out.
”What's wrong Rex?”, Rosie asks but suddenly she realized, ”Are you thinking about Kevin Luc? It's okay if you lose really”, she whispers.
Rex glance at Rosie, he saw a helpless look on her face.
Then suddenly something hit him, he opened his stats tab and saw that the next full moon is five days away.
'System, I need to get stronger fast, can you recommend me something?', Rex asks the system, it's worth giving a shot.

Reading this, Rex was given two option to choose from.
He is contemplating about the two choices, he then asks the system, 'System, the Evolution before didn't give me many benefits like stats boost, why do you recommend me to evolve?'
After a brief pause, the system replies,
<becoming a=”” werewolf=”” gives=”” you=”” the=”” power=”” to=”” turn=”” others=”” into=”” half-werewolf,=”” half-blood=”” and=”” werewolf=”” is=”” essentially=”” the=”” same=”” but=”” the=”” latter=”” become=”” a=”” real=”” supernatural=””></becoming>
'System, in simpler terms please', Rex said feeling his head dizzy.
<half-werewolf can't=”” become=”” a=”” real=”” supernatural=”” they=”” will=”” stuck=”” at=”” that=”” state=”” forever,=”” while=”” werewolf=”” is=”” a=”” supernatural=”” and=”” can=”” evolve=”” into=”” higher=”” ranking=”” beings=””></half-werewolf>
'So that means Adhara can't evolve further if I didn't help her, but if I turn her into a Werewolf then she can evolve on her own?'
<yes></yes>
After getting a piece of useful information from the system, Rex was still hesitating in choosing.
He wants to become an Awakened by buying Elemental Affinity but he knows it will take longer to raise his power, his fight is next week so it seems impossible.
Buying a breathing technique on the other hand will surely boost Rex's stats if he can reach level 20 and evolve,
After contemplating, Rex decided to buy a breathing technique for full-moon,
He opened the shop section and search for the full moon type breathing technique, he filters the breathing technique into high rank only.
Immediately after, rows of breathing techniques appear in front of him,
Rex has 17,000 gold in his pocket from the quest before and killing the Tree Giant and the Anansi,
The cheapest high-rank Breathing Technique is 15,000 gold, while the most expensive is 30,000 gold.
He only has 17,000 gold so he can only buy the cheaper one,
Rex filters the shop from the cheapest to the most expensive, after scrolling for a bit he found two Breathing Technique that he likes.

'As expected of a high-rank technique, I am certain to get a mutation unlike low-rank techniques', Rex thought.
The first technique is an offensive one while the second is a defensive one, 'To be able to fight Kevin Luc I need to play defensive', Rex thought.
After decided what to buy, Rex immediately bought the second breathing technique.
He spent 15,000 gold for it, it is the cheapest high-rank Breathing Technique that gives him the desirable mutation.
The match continues, the students that have lower than rank three power can't participate in the tournament so only a handful of students will fight in the Arena.
Adhara and Rosie are watching the fight after they notice Rex is thinking about something, they decided to let Rex be.
Rex was left with 2000 gold left, he searches for elemental affinity and filters it to the cheapest, surprisingly it is within his budget.
He thought for a while, 'System, can I change affinities later if I decided to buy one?'
<the user=”” can=”” have=”” multiple=”” affinities=”” if=”” the=”” user=”” bought=”” a=”” low-rank=”” affinity=”” and=”” wanted=”” to=”” upgrade=”” it=”” to=”” a=”” higher-rank=”” affinity,=”” then=”” the=”” user=”” can=”” just=”” upgrade=”” it=”” using=”” gold=””></the>
Reading this, Rex was elated.
