Chapter 224: Ryze Meet Delta (1/2)
Rex and the others went inside the university but they saw Vargas already waiting for them, he's standing in front of the entrance with a stoic expression.
Vargas is standing straight with a cane in his hand, and he's staring straight at Rex.
With only just one glance, Rex knows that Vargas wanted to talk to him alone so he signals to Edward to leave the both of them.
Edward brings Kyran and Russ after nodding his head to Rex.
After they left, Vargas instantly nodded his chin to the side signaling Rex to follow him.
Rex is led to the principal's office under the students gaze,
Along the way, Vargas kept smiling at the students who are looking in his direction until they reach the principal room.
While Rex is walking on Vargas' back, he frowns when he senses someone watching him.
The gazes of the people that are not students can be felt clearly, 'They're from the UWO, right? It seems they're suspicious of me'
All of the prying gazes come from people wearing Faraday University's uniform, but Rex knows exactly that they're not students.
'Peak Rank Six, Early Rank Six, They're really suspicious of me', Rex thought with a smile.
Reaching the principal's office,
”Close the door and sit down”, Vargas said after entering the office.
Rex closes the door lightly, and when he turns his head to his back Vargas already looking at him again with an unreadable look.
Vagas looks stiff for some reason,
But without him saying a word, Rex already knows what Vargas wants to say.
”What do you want to know? I'm going to answer it all”, Rex said while sitting on the sofa.
Vargas kept eye contact with Rex as he stands idly in the middle of the room, he then replied, ”How did you know about the demons' plan?”
Hearing this, Rex glance at Vargas disappointed, ”I'm going to answer, but are the people hiding in this room really necessary?”
From the moment Rex steps inside the room, he already senses four people hiding in this room.
Rex can't exactly see them but he can sense each one of them, he also can check their stats and they're scattered around the room.
'Invisible items? or equipment?', Rex thought.
After Rex said that, the four invisible people in the room suddenly materialize around him.
They're all wearing a white and blue robe with the UWO symbol on their chest, and all of them gaze at Rex coldly.
Out of the four of them, Rex finds an interesting person beside him.
The woman on his side is gazing at him intently and Rex can feel she's casting somekind of spell with her eyes.
Rex glanced at the woman and saw her stats,
<Mandy Hoyles>
Power: Sixth Rank(Peak) - Serrated Wind Elementalist
Mental: 427
Strength: 411
Agility: 533
Endurance: 358
Intelligence: 511
After scanning the woman's stats, Rex saw that the power section is bold.
He then taps the 'Serrated Wind Elementalist' part before another tab opened, and reading this Rex's smirk in realization.
<The user is under an inspection spell>
The system also confirms Rex's suspicion,
The corner of Rex's mouth quirks up even more after the system confirms what he thought about the UWO plan and the power of the woman beside him.
”Then answer this, Are we colluding with the Supernatural?”, Vargas asks.
The question makes Rex scrunch his forehead in surprise, it still surprises him even though he knows that the UWO is suspicious of him, 'We? What did he mean by we?', Rex thought.
But he eventually answered, ”No”
The woman beside Rex frowned after Rex answered the question,
She then glance at Vargas before she nodded her head, and at the exact same time, the four people inside the room vanished into thin air.
After they left, Vargas sigh a sigh of relief.
”What was all that about”, Rex asks curiously.
Hearing this, Vargas then answered while massaging his forehead, ”When I got your message, I instantly told Sebrof the UWO's main branch president but instead he becomes suspicious of me”
”So, he sent those people to check where I got the information from which is you”, Vargas added.
Rex nodded his head, he somehow already thought about that.
Vargas then said, ”The woman beside you is a trusted member of Vargas, she has a gift that can make her saw through lies that's why I ask you that question”
Rex widened his eyes this time,
He pretends to be shocked by what Vargas said, but the truth is that he already knows about the woman's ability from the system.
'Thankfully Vargas asks if we work with the Supernatural, not Am I a Supernatural. If it were the latter, then I don't know what will happen to me', Rex thought in relief.
It will be disastrous if the woman saw through that, he will be arrested or worst.
”So, How did you know about the demons' plan?”, Vargas asks.
From the looks of it, he's already more relaxed because those people are gone.
Rex leans to the sofa before he replied, ”A winged demon in Beah City told me that, he did it to see my helpless expression right before I killed it”
Hearing this, Vargas widened his eyes in shock, ”Isn't that a sixth rank demon? How did you kill it?”
Realizing what he just said, Rex was stunned before he think of an excuse on the spot, ”Shouldn't you know your best student ability? I'm a Zeragon remember?”
”Great beast I must say, it might reach a higher rank if nurtured properly”, Vargas replied with a slight chuckle.
But the laugh soon fade as the vibe becomes grim,
Vargas glance at Rex briefly as he said, ”You saw the videos I sent?”
Rex nodded his head, Vargas then continued, ”The UWO creates a temporary defense line against the strongholds, and many Awakened are put there to not let the Supernatural run havoc”
”We also identify a new blue demon, and it is as strong as the Demon King”, Vargas added.
The expression on his face becomes even darker and darker as he goes on, it was clear that Vargas has a lot of things in mind.
”Because of you, we know that the Supernatural has a method to turn us into them and we identify that the Vampires are kidnapping people but the real problem is the demon”
”They can do a ritual with a human from afar, and that explains the demonic cities. What a headache”, Vargas mumbles while thinking.
But then, he realizes that he just mumbled his thoughts in front of Rex.
