Rex smiles after he got the system's notification, but he was confused as to why the Killing Intent got completed like that.

'Oh well, thanks for the free reward', he then put the attributable stats into his endurance. He got a feeling that he will need it.

He closes his eyes to rest or at least that's what he wanted.

But as soon as he closes his eyes, his head was filled with thoughts about everything that happened to him recently.

'I need to go back to the warehouse again to get Miru and Kiru, I'll probably do it tonight', Rex thought. Miru and Kiru are currently in the warehouse hiding, the place is still filled by FAA so it is still a mystery whether Kiru and Miru will still be there when he got back.

He then remembered about the ambush before, 'Whoever sent them, they will be alerted about how strong I currently am. But it's odd, I don't sense any killing intent from them as if they're just wanted to injure me or test me'

From the way the assassins move, they never attack Rex's group vital part. Even Rosie and Adhara only got slashes on their body, none of them was injured badly.

It seems the assassins only wanted to injure them.

After shrugging it off,  Rex then opened the system tab remembering he still got 8 Skill Upgrade,

He opened the skill tree tab to see if there's anything that catches his eyes, he needs more skills in his arsenal before he reaches rank three.

'I need defensive skill, it will be useful during hard times. I can't just keep relying on my regenerative abilities', Rex thought.

After scrolling for a minute in his mind, his eyes caught a skill.

<force manipulation=”” -=”” level=”” 1=””></force>

Force is an aura that is produced by a strong fighter that trains their body to their max, it is a sign of a master hand-to-hand combat fighter. This skill can help the user to feel and manipulate force that can greatly increase the user's body durability, it can be applied to anything the user thought.

Seeing this skill, Rex was tempted.

Not many people comprehended force in this era because of Awakened powers,

An Awakened usually focuses on their elemental mana which can also increase their physical power but mainly uses spells, the Force however needs an astonishing amount of physical training and will increase their physical attributes more than elemental mana can.

Because of learning Ugrok's skill and upgrading it to Force Beam, Rex can tap on this Force power but he still can't feel or control it.

The Force only gets activated when he uses Force Beam.

'Let's learn this skill', Rex decided to learn Force Manipulation. The skill costs 5 Skill Upgrade and it is divided into three levels, the cost for this skill is 15 for level two, and 30 for level three.

With the amount he has now, Rex can only buy the first level.

He then learns Force Manipulation skill,

Immediately after, rows of information enter his brain and his body jolted a little. Unlike learning books or spells, skills from the skill tree didn't cost any gold.

His body glows with a white hue, he felt his body becomes stronger and more powerful than before.

Rex can also feel different entities in the surrounding, there is a white, dark yellow, and red substance dancing around along with elemental mana.

It is a bizarre entity,

Every time it gets close with Elemental Mana, the Elemental Mana simply changes its routes but if they do collide the Elemental Mana will just go through the entity.

'That must be Force', Rex thought, he then tries to absorb this Force.

Unlike Elemental Mana, this Force can be absorbed easily but Rex can only absorb the white Force. The dark yellow and red Forces didn't budge no matter how hard Rex tries to attract them.

He was confused but he then suddenly realize, 'That must be a higher-level force, that's why I can't absorb it yet'

After absorbing the White Force for about a minute, he then suddenly can't absorb this White Force anymore.

There is a limit to how much he can get this White Force.

He can feel his body filled with these White Force and he also felt stronger!

'I must try this out later, I reckon that my physical abilities raise for quite a bit', Rex thought, he then tries to surround himself with the White Force.

His purpose for getting this skill is to make a barrier made of force, it will act as a defensive measure.

Rex puts his focus to the max, he guides the White Force to surround his body like a barrier.

The White Force easily covered Rex's body creating a thin white barrier that hardly seen by naked eyes, it makes Rex's skin brighter.

'Let's try out its durability later when I got to Faraday University', Rex thought.

Just as he wants to open his eyes, Rosie already shouted from his side, ”REX!! We're here!!”

Rex jolted because of Rosie's shock, he opened his eyes and straightens his body forward but slipped and stumbles to his other side.

Squish!

His head landed on something squishy, ”Eh?”, he was stunned for a moment.

A sweet womanly fragrant seeped into his nose, it smells like a sweet lavender that felt soothing to his nose. He can't help but praise the person wearing this perfume, he nodded his head repeatedly but suddenly.

Tsss!!

Rex's head suddenly felt scorching hot, he looks behind him and can't help to sweat.

His head accidentally lands on Mr. Hera's twin big mountains, it landed perfectly in the middle.

They are currently in a van so the seat is face-to-face with each other, Hera, Rex, and Rosie is on the left side while Adhara is on the right side facing them.

'So that's why it's weirdly squishy and soothin', Rex thought but his expression suddenly freezes when he saw Ms. Hera's expression.

”Ms...Ms. Hera...”, he said stutteringly.

Hera's red aura started to leak out, her face becomes red like a tomato.

Rex is preparing himself to get slapped, he closes his eyes accepting his punishment but that slap never comes.

He opened his eyes and peek at his front, he saw Hera looks down embarrassedly.
