Chapter 87: Meeting a Friend (2/2)
The guy didn't respond,
Looking at this, Rex decided to also use his skill.
Force started to gather on his hand fiercely creating a white hue, it makes the wind flutter. Because of Rex's Force Manipulation skill, he can control the amount of Force in his Force Beam and he can even use all of the force in his body to gather on his arm.
His Force Beam skill grows stronger thanks to the Force Manipulation skill.
The guy didn't sit idle, Fire mana started to twirl around his fist before turning into a red hulking figure.
It stares at Rex fiercely before he dashes towards Rex.
Rex accepts the guy's challenge as he dashes towards the guy with intense Force swirling on his arm.
”Force Beam!!”
”Fire Titan Art, Colossal Punch!”
BOOM!!
Both fists collided creating a huge explosion of energy,
The explosion makes the sand burst creating a shockwave to the surrounding, it makes everyone inside of the Training Ground glance at the arena feeling the intense fight.
It blasted both Rex and the guy away towards the Arena's wall,
BAM!!
They both got planted inside the Arena's hall creating a huge crater on it, the Arena barrier even flickers because of the impact.
Rex gets out of the Arena's wall with a smirk etched on his face, his full of injuries body seems to not hurt him at all.
On the other side,
The guy is also going out of the Arena's wall, he also has a smirk on his face as his mask cracked.
”It's been quite a while...Edward”, Rex said with a smile.
Edward scratches his head chuckling, ”I wanted to keep it a secret some more but you caught on too quickly Rex, That's no fun”, he said with injuries all over.
He then walks towards Rex before giving him a bro hug, ”How are you dude?”
”Hah! I'm fine. I was quite surprised confused when you can hold against my attacks, but your military-style takedown gives it off”, Rex replied.
All this while, Rex never meets an equal in hand-to-hand combat. He was quite shocked at first when he found a pretty sturdy guy in this place but who would've thought that this guy was Edward all along.
”No wonder It's hard, it's you all along”, Rex continues before tapping Edward's shoulder.
Edward laugh out loud and said, ”Of course, they didn't call me Turtle King for nothing. Let's catch up, I know a place around here”
Rex nodded before they both walk out of the arena.
The crowd was speechless, the fight ended just like that. They both left the arena while joking with each other like an old friend, which makes the crowd confused.
Hera and Bennie follows from the back,
Hera was quite confused and shocked by Edward's sudden appearance but Bennie doesn't, she then asks, ”Who is he?”
Hearing this, Bennie answered, ”He's Edward, the other guy who got the same two medals from UWO just like Rex. Heroes of Dwight City”
”That's the Edward?! No wonder he can match Rex, How can every ex-military personnel be this strong?”, Hera said wryly, she still can't believe there's another monster that can compare to Rex.
Bennie chuckles lightly, ”I don't think so, it's just them I must say. Heroes of Dwight City really lives up to their name”
After walking out of the Arena,
”That's the guy on the web! Rex Silverstar!”
”No wonder he knows our top ranker, Edward Rearta”
”Why are they so fierce, Military Personnel are so scary”
The crowd looks at them with different gazes, but one thing for certain. They will not mess with Rex.
”I never ask you where you are but who would've thought you're in Ochyra University after those injuries”, Edward said while shaking his head. He then continues, ”Now look at you, you're so strong and you can even match me without using your Awakened power. That's so cheeky of you, Noob Awakened”
Rex smiles, he then said, ”You notice I become an Awakened?”
Edward chuckles lightly, ”Really? Your elemental aura is reeking as if it was about to burst out of you”
”A lot has happened, I'm glad to see you”, Rex said genuinely.
”Hey, hey, I'm not used to you being like this. Usually, you would've said something like, 'Yes, I will use this power to kill Supernatural!', or something like that”, Edward said jokingly.
Rex can only chuckle wryly, remembering his days inside the Noob Box.
”Oh yeah, after the tournament we can visit Kyle's parents”, Rex said, he remembers the conversation he had with Edward before.
Edward widened his eyes and replied, ”I just remembered that, let's do that then”
Bennie and Hera were ignored on the back, they haven't said a word since they left the Arena.
Just as they're talking, Rex's phone rings.
Ring!
Rex looks at it and saw Rosie calling him,
Edward saw it from the side and said jokingly, ”Is that you're girlfriend? I'm not surprised to see you fall to a girl knowing how long you're in the military”
”Well sort of”, Rex replied before answering Rosie.
Edward on the side was shocked, ”Wait, I just said that as a joke, a JOKE! I can't believe you really have a girlfriend”, he said with a surprised expression.
Rex ignores Edward's shout, ”What is it?”
”Why are you so grumpy? We're done packing our stuff, where are you”, Rosie shouted.
Hearing Rosie's shout, Rex can only put away his phone for a bit before answering, ”I'm going to catch up with a friend of mine, I'll send you the location later”
”Okay, don't forget to send it”, she replied before ending the call.
”Quite a sassy one you got, she's perfect for you”, Edward joke.
Rex replied Edward with a glare making him shut his mouth completely, 'He's still as scary as ever', Edward thought.
Just as they wanted to leave the Training Hall, a voice called out to them, ”Ho, it's the hero of humanity Edward, who's that on your side?”
