Chapter 207: What Happened Last Night (1/2)
A day passed,
Rex arrives back at the entrance of Faraday University, there's a tired expression on his face upon arriving back.
He's wearing a sling for his right arm,
It's shocking to him that his right arm still hasn't healed, the Vampire and Demonic energy that infiltrate his body slowed down the healing process.
His arm will need at least a few days to become normal again.
Arriving at the entrance of the university, many students look at him in shock.
The news of Benrith City that also got attacked by the demons already spread wide throughout Ratmawati City, and the students of Faraday University also know this by now.
Many of them look at Rex in concern because the demons are vicious Supernaturals.
Demons are the most feared fighting Supernatural forces ever known by mankind,
Their entire being is filled with malevolent and evilness that makes them wild, vicious, and predictable.
Red blazing eyes that portrait hell itself, charcoal skins with cracks of fire spreading throughout their bodies, and their mindless head that filled with killing blow a wind of fear to humanity.
Other Supernaturals has thinking abilities that rival humans,
So getting caught by Vampires, Fairies, Werewolf, Shapeshifter, and other Supernaturals will not always result in death.
Some even manage to get out using their wits,
But Demons, on the other hand, there's literally zero chance of surviving if a human gets caught.
The only hope that the caught humans can beg for is to not get caught by an Archdemon, each Archdemon likes to toy with humans and their method of cruelty knows no bound.
And unlike other Supernatural,
Demons don't have any substantial weakness except for the light element, which only a few Awakened have it just like the dark element.
In fact, the UWO believe that demons will not die permanently if killed with other means than using light element.
They will eventually rise back, and be born again with newfound hatred.
Knowing that Rex faces such creatures concerns the other students that put Rex as a role model, and it can be clearly seen on their faces.
Rex smiles awkwardly before he steps forward to entering the university.
But just as he stepped his foot inside the university, a man that looked like a lecturer because of their uniforms already waits for him at the entrance.
Seeing this, Rex sigh knowing something like this will happen.
”Rex Silverstar, the principal is waiting for you in his office”, one of the lecturers said.
Rex waves his hand and walk past them before he said, ”I just got back, let me settle in for a moment then I will meet the principal”
But just as he wanted to walk past them, they blocked Rex's way.
”The principal instructed to guide you to meet him the instant you came back”, they added.
Hearing this, Rex can only sigh as he signals to lead the way.
After getting Rex's compliance, the lecturer guides him to the principal's office.
Arriving at the principal's office, Rex was greeted by Vargas who is already sitting on the sofa waiting for him while sipping tea.
Rex politely approach Vargas and sits on the sofa in front of him,
There's a silence that covered the room as Vargas kept sipping his tea, this makes Rex feel a little bit of uneasiness inside him.
After a moment passed, Rex was getting impatient.
He's beaten up from the event that happened during his mission, and he's also tired.
”Principal what do yo-”, Rex said but got intervened by Vargas.
He said, ”You left the university without my permission, somehow entered the news in the Benrith City incident, and now you came back beaten up”
Hearing this, Rex was at a loss for words.
Vargas then lifts his eyes up to look at Rex before he said, ”I thought that you went to deal with the trouble you had, but the news stated that you're not”
”Where were you?”, he added.
'I can't use meeting Rosie in Qrila City as an excuse because many witnesses saw me there with Liliya, and He probably knows that I become a Scavenger because of his position in the UWO', Rex thought with a frown.
Rex then finally said, ”I'm linking up with my friend in the Great Barricade, and decided to go train in the Supernatural territory”
Hearing this, Vargas squinted his eyes studying Rex's expression
But Rex kept calm in this situation, his expression didn't change one bit.
”Well, that doesn't matter”, Vargas finally said with a sigh.
He then points at Rex's right arm and said, ”But that's going to be a problem, the yearly tournament for the university's ranking will be calculated in 2 days”
Rex remembered that he need to beat up some kid for Vargas, and this makes him slouches on the sofa tiredly.
”You said you can beat them easily, with your right arm like that I assume it will still go smoothly”, Vargas said with a smirk.
This makes Rex groan in displeasure, he then said, ”Fine, just arrange a one on one and it will be done in seconds”
Varas' face then lit up in joy before he nodded his head,
Rex was about to leave but got called by Vargas right in front of the door, ”I already sent you your monthly part, and the lecturer that you met with brown hair will be your tutor”
Hearing this, Rex was surprised because he forgot about that.
'I almost forgot to ask Vargas how to advance to rank six, but the supposed tutor he assigns will probably know it too', Rex thought.
But just as Rex touch the door handle, he turns back and said, ”Sir, can I ask a favor from you?”
Vargas who was about to go back to his room stopped before looking at Rex confusedly, he then sat back down as Rex also sat back down.
After a while, Rex then left the principal's room where a lecturer is waiting for him.
This lecturer is one of the lecturers that guides him before, he's expression is stoic and he looks like a strict lecturer.
”My name is Chandler, I will be your lightning tutor from now on”, the lecturer introduced.
Rex glance at Chandler briefly with judging eyes, ”I would like to talk to you more about the training, but I'm very tired now so can I leave?”
Hearing this, Chandler was about to flip out but he held it in.
The condition Rex is in right now is not suitable for training, so he lets Rex go after telling Rex to meet him once he finished Vargas' tasked and got better.
After leaving the place, Rex went straight back to his room.
But right before he wanted to knock on the door, he suddenly remembered something, 'I forgot about Adhara and Kyran!'
Remembering them, Rex busts into the room startling the maids and butler.
All of the maids and butler look at Rex with a surprised look, before they turn their heads with a solemn expression.
Seeing their weird behavior, Rex frowns.
He then instantly runs towards his room where Adhara should be before he saw Adhara lying on the bed covered by a blanket like a sleeping princess.
Looking at this, Rex was confused as to why the butler and maids are like that.
Rex approach Adhara who is looking paler than the last time he saw her, he then sits on the edge of the bed before he touched Adhara's forehead.
He felt the coldness of her body with a frown,
After realizing that something happened to her, Rex opened the blanket and widened his eyes in surprise.
Her body is covered with wounds, and Rex is sure that it's from last night.
