Chapter 79: Element Evolution (1/2)
'What is she doing here?'
Rex saw Hera running towards them, she wears the lecturer's uniform of Ochyra University that is a white blazer with a roaring panther on its right chest.
She approaches Rex and the others, ”Hello there”, she said with heavy breaths.
”What are you doing here?”, Rex said with a cold look.
Hearing this, Hera frowns for a second because of Rex's cold tone.
She wanted to rebut Rex and teach him some manners, she looks at Rex but suddenly the words that are about to come out got stuck on her throat.
Rex is looking at her with cold eyes making her back sweats, 'Why? Why did I feel threatened by his presence? I'm a peak rank four Awakened for god's sake', she thought.
Hera knows that she is of a higher rank but every time she looks at Rex, she felt an unconditional pressure as if Rex is of a higher rank than her.
Before Hera can answer, she suddenly remembers what the vice-principals said from one hour ago.
~
”Ms. Hera, you will be tasked to keep an eye on Rex to Faraday University”, a man said with a strict tone.
Hearing this, Hera frowns, ”Why me? I'm sure there are others who can do better than me”
The man sighs, ”Mr. Joseph decline due to personal matter and we know there are others but I think the other will only irritate Rex, on the other hand, you already make contact with him so it should be fine”
Hera bit her lips, it's not that she didn't want to but she just felt uneasy around Rex.
Seeing Hera hesitate, the man said, ”You will not lose out on this, Rex is the most talented first-year and I got a feeling something will happen in Faraday University that's why I need to give you this task. Of course, as a reward, the university will help you breakthrough rank five”
With the condition given. Hera can only shut her mouth and nodded her head.
Rex is undoubtedly the strongest first-year, she gets why Rex is important but what she didn't understand is the pale expression of the vice-principals in front of her.
'Why is he look so terrified?', Hera thought.
”Oh, and one more thing, you must treat Rex better. It's a hunch but I think the Faraday University will try and poach him”
~
”Hello? Am I talking to a wall here?”, Rex snaps his fingers in front of Hera who is in a daze.
Hera snapped out of her daze and got embarrassed.
She coughs to ease her nervousness before saying, ”I'm tasked by the vice-principals to accompany you”
Rex laughs, ”Just be honest, they sent you because they want you to monitor me right?”
Hearing this, Hera only smiles wryly.
”Well it's your job and I will not make it hard for you, let's go”, Rex shrugs her off before getting into the train that has just arrived.
The four of them walk inside the train, the students who also want to take the train stopped abruptly.
It's not that the train leads to other destinations but the train clearly has a VIP sign carved above the doors.
The train Rex in is different from the train they use before, this one is more luxurious and bigger than the one they use before.
Because Rex announces he will go to Faraday University, Hera takes her time to book the best train for them to ride on because it will affect their reputation, and also the vice-principals warn her to treat Rex with the best services.
Each car can only accommodate eight people, it is very spacious and is filled with gold colors.
There are many things to accompany the passengers, there are a meditation room, spa room, TV's to watch, and even a bar to hang out and have fun.
Usually, this train can only be used for Vice-principals, principals, and a handful of powerful second and third-year students but now Rex is using it too.
”Wow! What is this train? I have never seen something this luxurious before”, Rosie cried out in amazement.
Adhara on the side also make an O with her mouth, she looks at the surrounding with excited eyes.
Hera coughs to gather their attention, ”It is the VIP train, Rex becomes one of the few students who can use this train by becoming the number one first-year student”, she explains with a proud look.
The train is one of the masterpieces of Ochyra University, not only it is spacious but the place is filled with treasure.
The spa can help one to relaxed and open up their pores, it will greatly increase the power of absorption of an Awakened. The meditation room also has treasures to change the surrounding mana, it is a very high-rank treasure and many more other treasures!
Because of these privileges the students race against each other to become the number one because of the privileges they got, it is simply astonishing!
Rex nodded his head in acknowledgment, this train is truly beautiful.
The four of them sits on their respective seats,
Rosie is complaining as usual because the seats are far apart and she can't sit beside Rex, Rex needs to send a glare before she pouted and sit on her seats.
Not long after, the train started to move.
Rex looks at the passing students who laugh and play with each other, 'How good will it be if every place will be like this', he thought.
Ratmawati City is a safe place guarded by many powerful Awakened, that is why the people here are happy. Other smaller cities are not quite like this.
For example, Vouver City, Zrolis City and Strada City got wiped easily by the Supernatural.
The feeling of safety and peace makes the people from smaller cities dream to be inside of Ratmawati City, if given a chance they might even kill each other to live here.
Rex can saw the train leaving Ochyra University,
It's about noon now, the sun is hanging high up in the sky shining on Ratmawati City.
'It will be night when we got there, let's just meditate', Rex thought before he gets up from his seat.
But to his surprise, Adhara and Rosie also get up from their seats.
”Where are you two going?”, Rex asks.
Rosie rolled her eyes in annoyance and replied, ”I want to go to the spa room, I certainly will use this opportunity”
Adhara on the side also answers, ”Same here, it's very beneficial for both of us”
Hearing this, Rex nodded his head before he excuses himself to the meditation room.
