Chapter 98: Too Curious (2/2)
Rex looks to the side and saw Adhara and Rosie just finished their training, they turn their heads and signal Rex that they wanted to eat.
He signals that he will eat later before the both of them left.
Just as he wanted to meditate some more, he remembers that he got into rank three so he can finally learn other spells.
'Let's learn some spells, I will also need to learn for the Mana Control round', Rex thought before he also left the room.
The quiet room is divided into many rooms, it is an all-function place.
The meeting room is just like before, the meditation room that he just used, and lastly is the training room where students can practice their spells.
It is really convenient and it shows the stand of Faraday University based on the facilities they provide.
Rex didn't get disturbed today, it is weirdly calm without any interruptions.
'I wish every day are just like today, it's refreshing to be alone', Rex thought, he then went to an empty training room.
Entering the room, it was different from any training room Rex has ever seen.
The room has natural light from the window above it, the ground is made of sand to accommodate the students, there are rows of different kinds of weapons on the side arranged neatly, a training dummy, and even a training robot.
It has everything Rex has ever hoped in a training room.
'I'm quite tempted to move here now, it's really an elite school', Rex thought.
He then walks to the control pad on the side, he clicks on it before a hologram popped out showing many functions.
In the control pad, Rex can adjust many things.
The training robot difficulty, the training dummy durability, videos of different arts of weapon, but his eyes landed on a function.
It is the training dummy function that can measure an attack power, he wanted to give it a try.
He clicked on the dummy function and set it to rank five, he then ticks the measuring function before he pressed okay.
ZONG!
The training dummy on the right got sucked into the ground before a new dummy appears, it makes a mechanical sound before it stopped.
Right in front of Rex's eyes, a white human-shaped training dummy appears.
Rex approach the training dummy, he notices the room is getting dark, 'I need to be quick if I want to test out my raw power'
If the night came and his passive skills activated, then his stat would've raised by 50% then he can't measure his raw power anymore.
He positioned himself before he punches the dummy with only his raw strength,
BAM!
The dummy's gut area turns red because of Rex's punch, ”Power 956, Mid Rank Four”, a mechanical voice said stating Rex's punch power.
Rex was confused about the power the voice said but he thought that it was only a scaling made by Faraday University.
After testing his raw strength, Rex activates his force and punches it again.
BAM!!
”Power 1045, Peak Rank Four”
Rex nodded his head, 'My raw punch during daytime is a solid Peak Rank Four thanks to the Force Manipulation skill'
He then added his black lightning to the mix and got a new high score, ”Power 1090, Peak Rank Four”
Although it didn't rise by much, the speed his punch travel becomes faster than his usual.
Just after he punched the dummy, a notification from the system appears.
<night time!=”” increased=”” the=”” user's=”” stats=”” by=”” 50%=””></night>
After his passive skill is activated, Rex then puts all of his power into one punch.
His fist emits a white hue from the Force and the Moonlight Energy, black lightning is sizzling on his arm like a black snake wrapping around his arm before he punches the dummy once again.
BOOM!
The punch creates an exploding shockwave that charred the dummy, Rex puts his all into it.
</power>
It was evident from the impact Rex make that it will be at least early rank five, but seeing it in person still greatly shocked him.
'No wonder I can punch the living hell out of Ronald', Rex thought.
After testing out his power limit,
Rex opened the system to see the spellbooks he had from before, he got quite a few of them lying around.
He got a couple of spellbooks that he got from the system, there's Mystic Shock, Lightning Salvo, and Black Field Orko.
Rex takes the books out of the inventory, two blue books and one dark blue spellbook appear in front of him.
He knows that the dark blue one is the Black Field Orko, he got it from when he became a Black Lightning Elementalist before so he decided to save it for the last.
It is definitely the hardest to learn.
This time, Rex wanted to save his gold and decided to learn the spellbook by himself.
He realized the scarcity of gold and he decided to save it, he got a couple of thousands left in his pocket and he's planning to keep it that way.
'Just think of this as Mana Control training, yes that's it', Rex thought trying to assure himself.
Rex takes the Lightning Salvo spellbook and opens it, he read the introduction of the skill, 'So this spell is related to the Mystic Shock spell, I should learn this one before Mystic Shock'
The spellbook stated that Lightning Salvo is a spell that summons lightning to strike a target, it is done first by channeling the lightning mana to the fingers.
Rex stands up and closes his eyes, he concentrates on the lightning mana on his body.
He can vaguely feel the lightning mana coursing through his body and also the surrounding, he then commands the lightning mana to his fingers.
The lightning mana stopped flowing as it went to Rex's arm.
Rex frown, he can felt the heavy burden to guide the lightning mana to its new path.
Not long after, just as the lightning mana enter his arm he lost his concentration before the lightning mana went back to its original path.
When he learns a spell through the system, his body instantly remembers the path of doing that certain move.
Take Flash skill, for example, his body instantly remembers the path to use Flash skill.
Doing it the normal way, however, is rather hard because it needs a lot of concentration and training.
The system is connected to Rex's body somehow, it can help his body to instantly remember the path of a certain skill.
”This is gonna be harder than I thought”
