Chapter 208: Riot and Careless (2/2)
The car then zooms off the city street leaving the riot,
As they near Faraday University, Rex can be seen looking at his phone a couple of times anxiously as if he's nervous about something.
Linda caught this from the corner of her eyes, ”What are you thinking?”
”Nothing”, Rex replied before he turns his head to the side avoiding Linda's curious gaze.
The drive takes a full 15 hours in the special street, They arrive at Faraday University without a hitch.
The rain already stops a while ago,
Linda got out of the car as her heels creates a clacking sound, she wanted to go inside the university but stopped when she looks back.
She saw Rex is still in the car unmoving,
Looking at this, Linda looks at Rex confusedly as she signals Rex to come out.
Rex is currently looking at the notification from his phone with a nervous look, he hesitated for a moment before he walk out of the car.
This makes Linda even sure that something's going on, ”What are you doing?”
”Do I have something to do today?”, Rex asks back without even answering Linda's question.
Linda looks at her phone for a moment before she shakes her head,
After confirming that he doesn't have anything to do, Rex then separated from Linda as he went inside Faraday University.
Rex then went straight to the training ground,
Arriving at the training ground, he then scans around the room searching for someone.
He walks around the training ground while looking left and right, but then his eyes landed on a woman fighting against a robot.
That woman is Adhara,
After knowing the things that happened that night, Rex immediately apologizes to Adhara who he left alone with Kyran in the Violet Moon.
But Adhara quickly forgave him because they somehow didn't turn into their Werewolf form.
Adhara also apologize to him about the incident with the FAA, but Rex didn't think about it way long before Adhara apologized.
They then make up, but there's something that bothers him.
Something that he felt guilty about, but he decided to not tell Adhara about it.
Since then, the butler and maids have a weird look every time they look at Adhara but they quickly hide their expression away after seeing Rex.
This makes Rex worried but it's already been done,
He thought of creating an excuse to tell the butler and maids, but if he tries to explain it then he will become more suspicious.
That's why he just let them wander in their thoughts about Adhara's condition.
Adhara look at the approaching Rex in delight,
She then instantly got out of the arena and meet Rex in the changing room.
Rex saw Edward is also there in the changing room, 'They seem close these days', Rex thought.
”Edward, I got something for you to do”, Rex said before he takes out a spellbook.
He then gave it to Edward before he whispers, ”Take this to the Atkins Family and make sure that you're not being followed. Bring Kyran with you, to take his mind off of her”
After saying that, Edward takes the spellbook and left.
But before he left, Edward then asks, ”Oh yeah, Where's my car?”
Hearing this, Rex's body froze in shock.
'I forgot his car in the Great Barricade!', Rex thought in surprise.
He then look at Edward with a guilty smile before he said, ”I forgot your car in the Great Barricade! but don't worry, I'll take it back”
Edward was at a loss for words, ”Bro, I'm going to sue you!”, he said jokingly.
”Come on, I'm sorry okay! I'm going to take it so just get on with your delivery”, Rex said while rolling his eyes.
Edward scoffed before he left the place,
After Edward left, Rex and Adhara are left alone in the changing room.
Rex looks at Adhara, he's filled with guilt seeing Adhara's innocent smile especially when he knows what happened to her during the Violet Moon.
She said that she felt an excruciating pain that attacks her mentally.
This happened the same time when Rex do the thing he did with Rosie, and Rex instantly knows that it's his fault, not the Violet Moon.
'I should've held it in', Rex thought with a sigh.
Seeing Rex is dazed, Adhara then said, ”What's wrong? Is there something bothering you?”
”Nope, Let's go to the cafeteria because I need to tell you something”, Rex said before they both left for the cafeteria.
Arriving at the cafeteria, the place is almost empty.
It's already afternoon and the students are either training or in class, so they have the cafeteria all by themselves.
”So, Is it about the beast? Where is it?”, Adhara said excitedly.
Hearing this, Rex looks at Adhara confusedly, ”The beast? What do you mean?”
”Everyone knows that you become a Zeragon, so I want to see the beast you tamed. Is it a tiger? snake? or a Wolf?”, Adhara added curiously.
But this makes Rex face-palm himself, 'I totally forgot about Delta! What's wrong with me'
He then look at Adhara's excited face before he said stutteringly, ”Her name is Delta, and she's a rank five mutated White Wolf”
This makes Adhara even more eager to meet it,
”Well, there's a slight problem with that. I forgot to bring her here because I passed out”, Rex said with a wry smile.
Adhara gasps in shock, her mouth is O-shaped speechless by Rex's ignorace.
She then shouted in shock, ”HOW COULD YOU FORGET HER!!”
”Many Awakened wanted to become a Zeragon, and here you are forgetting your precious mutated animal”, Adhara added.
This makes Rex scratch his head, he also can't believe it himself.
Adhara kept on mumbling about Rex's stupidity before Rex finally said, ”Okay stop it, I get it that's my fault”
”But that's not the thing I wanted to talk to you about”, Rex continues.
This makes Adhara raise her eyebrows in confusion, she thought that Rex wanted to talk to him about Delta so she becomes confused right now.
She stares straight in Rex's eyes in confusion,
Rex hesitated for a moment as he struggles to come up with the words, this makes Adhara's heart thump faster.
Their emotions are linked together, and she knows what Rex's feeling.
After the past days, Adhara already knew that Rex is hiding something because she can feel it through her feelings.
But she didn't force Rex and just wait for Rex to tell her.
Rex then takes a huge breath preparing himself, but when he's about to open his mouth a soothing voice interrupted him, ”Rex!”
