Chapter 78: Preparing for Faraday University (1/2)
Rex is sitting on his bed in meditation,
He already packs all of the things he needs to go to Faraday University, he didn't pack much but if he needs something he can just buy it from the system's shop.
Because of his mid-rank affinity, absorbing lightning mana becomes easier although not as fast as when he's in the Cluster Domain.
Specific element mana will become abundant if there's a natural phenomenon going on, for example, if one wants to find fire mana then they just need to make fire on their surroundings without using mana.
For Rex, if he wants to find abundant Lightning Mana then the best time will be when there's a storm that spat lightning. That lightning will then left lightning mana which can be absorbed by an Elementalist.
But for some reason, the Crystal on Rex's Cluster Domain makes the lightning mana abundant and it is very useful, it can be classified as a high-rank treasure if known.
Not long after, Rex opened his eyes.
Rex can feel his power growing every time he finishes a session of meditation, he then opens the stat section to checks his stats.

'Hmm, my stats rose for quite a bit, my strength can match that of a mid-rank four but it can match early rank five during the full moon', Rex thought.
After seeing his stats, he opened the system's shop and filter it to equipment only, 'I got 10% Fire Resistance but if Kevin's fire is just like that Luke kid...I need more resistance'
The dark fire although it can't leave a dent on Rex's skin it still hurts, Luke is only a measles rank three but that Kevin Luc is certainly a rank four.
He searches for equipment that gives fire resistance, there are many options but his eyes catch something.
<sakhmet tattoo=””></sakhmet>
A tattoo that is made by Khneum the water king, the tattoo is made using the damned fire queen Sakhmet blood. Queen Sakhmet is beloved by the Eternal Fire making it extremely scorching, Khneum suppressed this blood and turn it into a tattoo.
Grant the user 15% fire resistance (Can be stacked), the tattoo can be summoned at will.
Reading the item's description, Rex got excited!
Sakhmet Tattoo will give him 15% fire resistance! It will bring his fire resistance to 25% which is astonishing!
This equipment will give him the edge against all Fire Elementalist, in the future, he might even have a perfect resistance to fire!
In the UWO list of official Awakened, Fire Elementalist occupy 27% of it.
This means that more than a quarter of all listed Awakened has fire-related abilities and spells, and having fire resistance will certainly come in handy in fighting future enemies.
That's why Rex wanted Sakhmet Tattoo badly.
He wanted to immediately buy it but the cost for Sakhmet Tattoo makes him stunned, 'Eh?'
Rex looks at the bottom right corner of the Sakhmet Tattoo description and found an astonishing 15,000 gold!
He currently only has 10,430 gold which is not quite far off from the costs.
The most expensive thing he bought from the system is the mid-rank affinity, but this equipment he wanted to buy costs almost two times more than the mid-rank affinity!
His heartache looking at the item, 'I really want it, it will guarantee my win against Kevin Luc'
Rex was thinking about how to get Sakhmet Tattoo, he badly wants the item, 'Sudden Quest and Dollar is the only way to get gold...'
Just as he was thinking, he remembered that there is still the Killing Intent quest from Gregg.
He checks the system's sudden quest and found the killing intent quest still there, 'Will the quest disappears when the quest becomes unavailable? using that logic, then Gregg will probably still try to kill me'', Rex thought.
Although the gold reward will not be enough, at least it will bring him closer to buy Sakhmet Tattoo.
An evil grin blooms on Rex's face, his eyes flash with killing intent as he went out of his room.

On another dormitory not far from Rex's,
”Gregg! There's a change of plan, Rex decided to go to Faraday University today. We need to fast forward our plan into today”, a woman said hurriedly.
Hearing this, Gregg frowns, ”Gaby? What happened? Why do we need to hasten our plan?”
”Kevin Luc provoked him, he then decided to return the favor by going to Faraday University”, Gaby said while packing her stuff.
Gregg laughs madly, ”That Rex thinks he can beat Kevin? Too bad he will not be able to arrive at Faraday University”
After saying that, Gregg dialed his phone and calls someone.
Not long after, the person answers Gregg's phone, ”I need you to send the people to the designated place today”, he said.
*Bzztt* *Bzztt*
”There has been a change of plan, I'm sorry for the sudden request”, Gregg said politely.
*Bzztt* *Bzztt*
Gregg was stunned for a bit, he snaps out of it before answering, ”Yes, I will pay triple the amount no problem, but are you confident?”, he said with a bead of sweat dripping on his forehead.
*Bzztt*
Hearing the answer from the person on the phone, Gregg smiles evilly, ”I'll look forward to that”, he then hung up.
Gaby on his side then asks, ”What did they say?”
Gregg glance towards Gaby for a brief moment before saying, ”They said they have never failed, Rex will certainly die by my hands”

After going out of his room, Rex met up with the girls.
They will go together by train, it's quite convenient to have an exclusive to students train inside Ochyra University and they will make use of it.
It is quite far from Ochyra University to Faraday University, it'll take eight hours to go there.
The three of them met in a cafe near the train station,
Rex is wearing his casual style clothes, a plain black t-shirt with a silver necklace decorating it, black chinos tightly hug his legs, and also his watch that he bought before.
