Chapter 120: Back at Ochyra University (2/2)
Rex wakes up from his bed with lazy eyes, the incident yesterday night is quite tiring for him because of the tension.
He looks to the side and found Adhara hugging him.
Just as he wanted to wake Adhara up, he saw that Adhara is wide awake while hugging Rex.
”I can't sleep all night”, Adhara said meekly.
Hearing this, Rex was confused.
From the moment he went back to the room, he found Rosie and Hera sleeping on the other bed and Adhara playing her phone on his bed.
He crashed to the bed beside Adhara and instantly went to sleep.
But throughout the night, turns out Adhara is still wide awake and unable to sleep.
Rex scratches his eyes lazily before he said, ”Why can't you sleep? I thought that you're one heck of a sleeper”
Adhara leans to Rex's ear and whispers, ”I can't sleep, and I didn't feel tired either”
Hearing this, Rex widened his eyes in surprise.
He looks at Adhara and saw her pointing at the Silverstar Mark on the back of her neck, it is still glowing just like last night.
'System, Why can't Adhara fell asleep?'
<Werewolf does not need to sleep for weeks, some can even stay awake for months>
'Is this the side effect of becoming a Werewolf? Then why can I sleep soundly unlike Adhara?', Rex asks the system but he got no answer.
'Okay, can you tell me what changes will Adhara experience?'
After waiting for a moment, the system also didn't answer.
Rex then sighs before he whispers to Adhara, ”It's the side-effect of becoming a Werewolf, you'll get used to it”
The position Rex's in is too close with Adhara.
Adhara is only wearing a tank top and shorts while Rex is shirtless, the back of Adhara's neck is exposed and this scene caught Rosie's eyes who is also already awake.
Rex glance at Rosie before he went to the toilet.
After freshening himself, Rex went out of his room with Adhara after Hera told him to gather at the lobby in three hours.
”Rex let's eat! I want to eat!”, Adhara said excitedly.
Rex looks at Adhara weirdly before he said, ”Let's go, I'm hungry too”
The both of them went to the cafeteria to find something to eat, they're looking through the available menu when suddenly a guy sat down beside Rex.
Rex glance at the guy with a frown,
”Rex Silverstar, I'm Brim from the Assault Guild”, Brim said while giving Rex a name card.
He then continues, ”Do you have time to talk about business for a moment?”
Rex glanced back to Adhara who puffed her cheeks in annoyance before he said, ”I'm in the middle of eating now, after this we can talk”
”My apologies for interrupting you, I'll wait for you then”, Brim said before he sits at another table.
Adhara glanced at Brim grumpily and said, ”It's too crowded, I hate it”
”Just eat, are you on your period or something?”, Rex said with a slight chuckle.
After eating,
Rex talked to Brim from the Assault Guild before he heads back to Adhara and left the cafeteria.
”What did that guy say?”, Adhara asks.
Rex looks at the contract in his hands and said, ”They want me to join their guild, it's an interesting offer but I don't know if I should join one”
”Don't join a guild, let's just take missions from the university and be free”, Adhara said.
'She has a point, if I join a guild then I can't level up fast if they gave me a mission like scouting', Rex thought.
Just after they left the cafeteria, another man approaches Rex.
Rex looks at the man and thought, 'This going to keep happening isn't it?'
Three hours later,
Rex and the others are currently inside the VIP train heading back to Ochyra University.
In the last couple of hours, Rex got scouted 7 times by 7 different guilds that ask him to join them with different benefits.
The encounter takes much of Rex's time making Adhara grumpy.
She even asks Rex to sit in a different cart because she wanted to be in a quieter place, this makes Rex confused because Adhara never becomes this noisy.
While on the train, Hera approaches them, ”Rex, Adhara”, she called.
She then gave Rex and Adhara a pouch, ”This is the rewards we got from the tournament, there are elemental stones and a spellbook inside the pouch”
Hearing this, both Adhara and Rex looks inside the pouch and see its content.
In Rex's pouch, there are two blue blitzing stones, many smaller blue stones, and a purple spellbook called 'Purple Detection' signed on its cover.
Rex thanked Hera before he takes a blitzing blue stone.
He scans it with the system before a notification appeared,
<High Lightning Stone>
Lightning Stone is created naturally in a place with high lightning mana concentration, it will help an Awakened absorb mana faster because of its pure mana content.
After reading the description, Rex held it up and studied it.
The stone is dark blue in color and there are sparks of lightning inside of it, it blitz inside the stone beautifully as if it's asking Rex to consume it.
He then decided to enter meditation and so is Adhara.
A day passed,
After arriving at Ochyra University, Rex and Adhara stayed in Rex's room because Adhara decided to move into his room.
Rex didn't mind it because he gets to eat a delicious breakfast every morning.
'I need to buy a place for the kid', Rex thought.
The kid he bought from the Fire Band Market will be sent by them, so he needs to set up a place for the kid to stay before turning him into a Werewolf.
After taking a bath and breakfast.
He decided to take a mission from the task hall before finding a place for the kid.
Rex and Adhara went to the task hall to pick a mission, 'Let's start leveling up, that's my priority right now'
