Chapter 168: Spell Disturbance and Weird Phenomenon (2/2)
After confirming the canyon, he then calls for Clarice his maid.
”Sir Rex, you summon me?”, Clarice said gracefully while slightly bowing, her gaze is low as she doesn't want to meet Rex's eyes.
Rex then asks, ”Who runs the highest authority in this sector?”
”That would be Sir Vargas, he's not only the principal but he is also UWO's representative in this sector”, Clarice said politely.
Hearing this, Rex then rubs his chin and waves his hand.
Clarice bowed once again before she left Rex's room, she doesn't forget to close the door again.
'Vargas should let me go there, but I know that old man will not let me sit around too long', Rex thought before he closes his eyes while lying on the bed.
The next day,
Rex went out of Vargas' room with a bitter look,
He asked Vargas to let him roam the hidden canyon with an excuse that he's interested, Vargas gladly approves of his request but what Vargas said greatly shocks Rex.
In exchange for the request he make, Vargas wanted him to fight other universities students.
Vargas wants Rex to assert dominance over other universities' top-ranker, he wants Rex to do it just because he wants Faraday University's fame to grow.
Rex tries to bargain, and he eventually agreed by beating three top-ranker from three different universities.
He didn't have any choice, the Yule Moon is near.
That is why Rex's expression is bitter,
If he gets more famous then people that envy him will only grow, he didn't want to have any other conflict with humans again.
It's not that he's scared, but because he will end up killing humans again.
Rex went inside his room grumpily and saw Adhara lying on the bed, she just got out of the shower as she still wearing her bathrobe.
Adhara saw Rex's bitter expression, ”What's wrong?”
”It's Vargas, he wants me to beat the top-rankers of other universities in exchange for roaming the hidden canyon”, Rex said while lying face-down.
Hearing this, Adhara then asks, ”Hidden Canyon? What for?”
”The next full moon is coming, and it will hurt us if we get exposed by it”, Rex said lazily.
Adhara nodded her head in understanding, she then creeps towards Rex and hugs him to try and comforts him.
”It's just three students, you can just beat them with one punch!”, Adhara said cheerfully.
Rex buried his head deeper into the bed and said with a muffled voice, ”That's called bullying, these kids will not have any chance against me”
With the power he has now, no students have a chance against him.
Even if they're third-year students, they will not stand any chance against the current Rex.
And Vargas told Rex to beat these students making Rex feel uneasy,
Aside from unwanting any more attention drawn to him, he also doesn't want to fight these students because he will not gain anything from it.
It's better to get stronger so he can go to the Supernatural's territory faster.
But what he can do now is obey, he will need the shelter, ”Prepare to go to the canyon tonight, tell Kyran to also come with us”
Adhara nodded her head before she go and change.
That night,
Rex and Adhara are already ready for the hidden canyon, they already packed their bags if somehow they got stuck there for more than one day.
Today they will only scout the hidden canyon,
Although nothing strange has appeared from inside it yet, it didn't erase the possibility of any threats that might appear inside.
The items he got from the system stated there's a Diamond Wolf.
The system said that the Diamond Wolf is a mutated animal that lives underground, and this makes Rex prepares for any mutated animals that might come out.
After they were done packing, they went outside to search for Kyran.
Rex and Adhara went to Kyran's room and knock on it, ”Kyran let's go, it's already night and we need to leave right now”
Inside the room,
Kyran is currently lying in bed with a warm towel on his forehead, there's Ryze beside him that is tending to Kyran.
”I need to go Ryze”, Kyran said helplessly.
Hearing this, Ryze then rebutted, ”No! You're sick! You need to stay in bed”
Kyran wanted to shout to call for Rex because Ryze is not letting him leave, but Ryze then intervenes, ”I'll tell Rex and Adhara about your condition”
He then gets down from the bed and opens the door,
Rex was surprised to find Ryze open the door, he then said, ”Where's Kyran? Tell him to meet me in front”
”Kyran is sick”, Ryze said meekly.
Adhara and Rex frowns when they heard this,
They both thought that it is impossible for Kyran to sick, he's a half-Werewolf and a very severe disease is the only thing that can make him sick.
Even if Kyran got cancer, his body will heal it completely.
Rex then barge inside and found Kyran lying on the bed,
But the weird part is that Kyran does look sick, but he's signaling to Rex to help convince Ryze that he's not sick.
”Ryze, Why did you say that he's sick?”, Adhara said while lowering herself to meet Ryze's eyes.
Ryze then replied, ”Just touch his hand, you will instantly feel how cold his body is”
Hearing this, Rex approach Kyran and touches his hand.
But to his surprise, Kyran's hand feel completely normal, ”What do you mean cold? He's not sick, he's completely normal”
Just as Rex said this, Ryze frowns.
He then approaches Rex and grabs his hands, ”Turns out you're sick too, your hand is freezing cold like a block of ice. You're all sick!”
”Look at the mirror”, Ryze said while pointing at the mirror.
Rex looks at Ryze in confusion, he then walks towards the mirror and sees his reflection.
The reflection on the mirror greatly shocked him, 'What? Why do I look so pale?!'
