Chapter 88: Wicked Smile (2/2)
He just finishes the cleaning and started to walks back to his barrack, he's covered with sweat from head to toe so he decided to go take a shower real quick.
Other recruits that have night shifts like him avoid him when they met, he's always known as the weirdest.
The other recruits once hear him sitting on his bed while mumbling, 'T-shaped Red Rune on his shoulder, 9 foot tall, greyish black fur, deformed ears, and black aura', he keeps saying this over and over again like a lunatic.
Some even heard him repeatedly mumbles, ”I will kill you', some even saw him suddenly cry in the middle of his mumbles.
Because of that, the other recruits avoid him thinking that he went crazy.
But not all of them think like that, some sympathy him for having PTSD and one guy especially keeps him company every time he wanted to cry.
His name is Billy, but other recruits called him Lil Billy because of his small frame.
Rex always finds a remote place when he wanted to cry, but somehow Billy always found him and listens to his cries. In the morning they often got punished for not sleeping on time, but Billy takes the punishment with no regret.
He doesn't know why but he felt Billy knows what he feels, Billy feels like an older brother for him.
Just after Rex wanted to wash from sweat, he suddenly hears a noise near the bathroom.
'Who is it? Aren't they afraid they will get caught by the patrol guard?', Rex thought, at first he thought a group of recruits sneaks outside to smoke.
But when he got closer he recognizes a familiar voice,
”I can't, my hands haven't recovered from yesterday's punishment”
”What do you mean Lil Billy? I told you to do my shift, you dare to talk back to me?”
”Yeah Lil Billy, does last time's beating not enough?”
Hearing this, Rex peeks at them and saw Billy cornered by two recruits. They are smacking Billy while mocking him.
The guy looks at Billy disdainfully and said, ”Fine, where's your dinner. Give it to me”
Billy takes out a couple of bread and fruit from his pocket and hands them over to the guy, he didn't even fight back.
”That's a good boy”, the guy pushes Billy making him fell to the ground.
The other guy laughs mockingly as they opened their zipper and piss on Billy, once again Billy didn't fight back and let them piss on him.
Rex who is looking at this scene gripped the bucket he held strongly, his eyes bulged as immense anger erupted within him making him threw the bucket full of water to the two guys.
Splash!
”What the heck?! Who's that!”
Without even pausing, Rex attacks them with erupting anger.
He punches the guy's stomach, the guy felt the heavy blow from Rex before he kneels on the ground holding his gut.
The other guy wanted to attack Rex but Rex is faster,
He held the other guy's head and slam his head towards the other guy's nose,
BAM!!
The guy's nose broke as blood spurted out of his nose, he then fell to the ground holding his bleeding broken nose.
Rex didn't stop, he kicks the guy who is kneeling on the ground right on the face.
BAM!!
The guy got smashed to the wall, ”Argh!! Stop!!”, the guy pleaded but Rex is not that merciful.
He held the guy's head and slam it to the wall, it immediately knocked the guy unconscious as blood dripped from his head.
Rex with his murderous eyes and a smile glance at the broken nose guy,
”Rex! Stop, it's enough!”, Billy held Rex's arm trying to stop him from continuing the fight but got smacked away by Rex.
Rex already got engulfed with anger as he sits on the guy before starting to pound him repeatedly,
BAM!!
Two of the guy's teeth got knocked out of his mouth,
BAM!
The guy's right eye got bloated as it turned dark blue, he can only helplessly receive Rex's punch without even having the energy to defend himself.
Looking at this, Billy ran to the nearby barracks and shouted, ”HELP!! There's a fight!!”
The sleeping recruits woke up abruptly, their intense training makes them easy to wake up before all of them rush following Billy.
The group of recruits saw Rex pounding at the guy as they rush to separate them.
”LET GO OF ME!!”, Rex struggled, he pushes everyone that held him back crazily. The disturbing part about this is that a smile was plastered on Rex's face all the way through the end, he didn't even feel bad about destroying both guys.
The recruits got overwhelmed by Rex, ”Help! He's strong I can't hold his right arm alone”
After a while, they finally manage to separate Rex from the battered guy with the help of eight guys holding him back.
The next day, Billy thanked Rex wholeheartedly and said that he doesn't need any help. He said that if he needed help then he will ask Rex, but all this time he never said anything.
The event caught the captain's attention.
The captain sent the two guys to prison while giving heavy punishments to both Rex and Billy,
Rex and Billy got chained and whipped 100 times in front of the other recruits, they are punished for disturbing the Noob Box's peace and not following the order.
Rex then got the most intense training without food until dinner and went on therapy, while Billy disappeared from the Noob Box.
Through those rigorous punishments and training his hatred for Supernatural still buried deep within him, the therapy doctor even deemed him uncurable.
And from then on, he got transferred to the Special Reconnaissance Unit where he finally ends up meeting Kyle and Edward.
~
Edward got a flashback of that event, he's still new at that time and he saw how Rex brutally beat the two guys half death, it is a gory scene with blood spilling everywhere.
He himself as an Awakened can't possibly have the mental to beat a guy half-death, or at least he can't do it back then.
It was a scene that he can't forget, and the expression Rex gives to him is the same as that scene.
'Chris is dead, he provokes the wrong guy'
