Chapter 97: Manticore Weakness (1/2)
”If you lose, I'll screw your sister. How about it?”
Hearing this, Kevin was utterly shocked to the core.
He can't comprehend the bold words that came out of Rex's mouth, he turns his head in shock, ”What...What did you say?”
”You heard me, you said you will bet anything? Then I'll say if I win I can screw your sister”, Rex said loudly, he's raising his voice as if he wanted everyone to hear it.
The others were also shocked, hearing the words from Rex's mouth is like thunder ringing on their ears.
Edward who is leaning on the wall chuckles from it, 'You really have to do him like that?'
Kevin lowers his head with a darkened expression, his body is trembling in anger as if a volcano was about to erupt from within him.
Even the representatives of Ochyra University were all dumbfounded.
Although they know Rex is as daring as ever, they can't believe that even towards Kevin Luc who is the number one student of Faraday University and also the first son of the Luc family he didn't show any kind of restrain.
Rex walks away from Kevin with steady steps, ”So? How about it Kevin Luc?”
Getting mocked around by Rex makes Kevin fuming in anger, he wanted to get Rex back for humiliating him in front of the audience but who would've thought that it turns like this.
Kevin gritted his teeth, ”I'll see you in the arena”, he said while leaving Rex.
After the other Faraday University representatives left the scene with obvious anger, Rosie smacks Rex's head.
Smack!
”How dare you use me to do that! Hmph!”, she pouted, she's still salty to be used as a bet.
Rex glance at Rosie, ”I didn't use you as a bet, he's the one who brought it up”, he tries to defend himself.
Rosie didn't buy it as she turns her head away in anger.
Then suddenly, Adhara tugs the tip of Rex's uniform and said, ”Do you really want to screw Kevin's sister?”, an ominous aura brushes past his neck.
”I...I didn't, I don't even know his sister. You told me before he has a sister”, Rex replied nervously, he didn't know why but Adhara makes him felt nervous lately.
Hera then said, ”Rex, we will be waiting in the training ground to know each other better. You're the leader so at least showup, don't wander around making a scene”
After telling Rex that, Hera guides the others to the training ground leaving Rex and the girls.
Rex nodded his head, ”I'll be there in a min, don't worry”
Just as Rex wanted to defend himself again, Edward approaches them, ”Yo Rex! So, which one is your girl?”
Rex punches Edward's gut jokingly, he then introduced, ”Rosie, Adhara, this is my friend from the military. You can call him Edward, a good friend of mine”
”Hello, I always wonder who can make Rex this soft. Now I can see why”, Edward joked.
Adhara and Rosie chuckle because of Edward's funny remarks, they then also introduce themselves before they leave the place.
They talk to each other especially Rosie and Adhara who are curious about how Rex was like during the military, their eyes flash with curiosity.
”You won't believe how much of a lunatic Rex is”, Edward said.
The girls' interest was piqued hearing this, he then continues, ”One time, I heard him mumbling in his sleep 'greyish black fur, deformed ears, I will kill you' and all other stuff before he suddenly cries. It was weird, I even heard that he punches a guy during his sleep”
Adhara and Rosie chuckle but then they realized, ”Why would Rex said that in his sleep?”, Hera asks.
”You didn't know? When Rex is little he-”, before Edward can finish, Rex already cover Edward's mouth with his hand, ”Okay, that's enough of talking about me”
Rex pushes Edward to the side, ”Okay off you go, we have to train to beat you guys”
”No fair dude, although you're stronger than me don't think I will stand still and let you win”, Edward taunted, he then waves his hand and left.
Adhara and Rosie were sad, they wanted to know more.
'Amidst that strong front, turns out Rex has a weak side too', Adhara and Rosie thought after they heard Edward's story.
They both then promise to themselves to be the one Rex head to when he's feeling weak.
Arriving at the training ground,
They went straight to the quiet room where the others gathered, it was in the corner-most room where the sound of fighting can't even reach there.
Rex and the girls enter the door and saw Tony and Hera are currently forming a plan.
The quiet room is quite spacious that can probably fit thirty people, there is a table in the middle with cushions surrounding it to sit.
”You're here, take a seat”, Tony said.
Rex went and take a seat near Hera and Tony, ”So, how is it going for the tournament plan?”
Hearing this, Hera taps a hologram beside her and pushes the hologram to the middle of the table, the hologram shows the manticore footage and its description.
”We are still talking about the Manticore that we will fight, the composition of our team is not a good one against a Manticore”, Hera explains.
The footage is showing a Manticore fighting a group of Awakened, it is gruesome.
Tony then added, ”Our team consist of two Fire Elementalist, two Earth Elementalist, one Water Elementalist, two Wind Elementalist, and lastly you, Lightning Elementalist”
He then enlarges the hologram footage and continues, ”As you can see, the Manticore has multiple elemental resistance because of their nature. They have fire, wind, and earthPla resistance and are very agile for their size. It is a bad match for us, so our plan is to make Rex our main damage dealer because of his Lightning Element, it is the only shot we have”
Ochyra University team has only 1 Water Elementalist, the Manticore is a bad matchup for them.
Hearing this, Rex frowns.
He recalled the system's description, ”Manticore doesn't have resistance to the earth element”
Tony was confused, he then replayed the footage, ”As we can see here, the rock broke instantly upon hitting the manticore”
The footage shows a peak rank four Awakened using a spell to summon a boulder crashing towards the Manticore but it broke easily as butter after getting hit by its tail.
From a glance, it looks like the boulder is ineffective but Rex trusted the system.
Rex squinted his eyes before he drags the hologram towards him, ”If you look closely, the tail of the Manticore attacks the boulder as soon as it got close to its body”
