Chapter 233: Envious Students (1/2)
A woman came out from the door as she suddenly stopped upon finding Rex in the room.
She widened her eyes in shock before it turns into horror, ”You?! What are you doing here? More importantly, How did you get here?!”
Rex glanced at the woman and realized who she is,
The woman has blonde hair and blue eyes, and her annoying voice is a trait that Rex remembers.
She's Vanessa, the woman he met in the Supernatural Territory.
”I got here because I'm qualified to be here, and I'm here to relax until you came of course”, Rex replied lazily, he then went inside the tub and sit there.
The steaming warm water brings comfort to his skin, but he just pretending to do nothing.
Seeing Rex nonchalantly enjoying the water without minding her, Vanessa bit her lips and press on a hologram beside the door.
Not long after she pressed that, a staff came into the room.
”I want you to kick that guy from this place, I don't want to be in the same room as him”, Vanessa said while pointing at Rex.
Hearing this, the staff glance at Rex and immediately recognize him.
The staff then said, ”I'm sorry, but you don't have enough achievement to dismiss him”
Vanessa looks at the staff in shock, ”I am the eldest child of the Rirgas Family, How can that guy beat my achievement”
While they're both quarreling, Rex can only smile lightly hearing Vanessa failing.
”That is Rex Silverstar a Black Lightning Elementalist, the strongest student having rank five power and never lost a single fight, gifted in strength, defeat a cursed creature and saving Wedron City, working together with Stevanus Reed, and also backed by President Vargas. He also recently just confirm that he can kill a rank sixth rank demon while simultaneously saving Beah City”, the staff explained politely.
But every word that came out of the staff's mouth makes Vanessa's eyes wider and wider.
She was at a loss for words after realizing who Rex is, his achievement is also no joke that puts her achievement in shame.
Rex chuckles lightly from the back,
Although the commotion is an annoyance, it is amusing, to say the least.
'She's from the 25 Golden Crest too? No wonder', Rex thought.
Vanessa heard his slight chuckle as she gritted her teeth, ”Then bring me to another room”
”Other rooms are full, this is the only available one”, the staff said politely after checking his phone to check for available rooms.
This makes Vanessa's face darkened,
She then slowly walks towards Rex with a reluctant look, one can see her defeated look clearly.
”Can you move to the other tub, I already used to use the left tub”, Vanessa said shyly, but she still tries to act tough in front of Rex.
But Rex's bare top makes her heart beat faster, it's clear that she's not comfortable.
Rex then chuckles, ”I'm not going to move, just use the right tub because I'm not moving from my spot just for you”
Hearing this, Vanessa stomped her feet in displeasure as she makes way to the right tub.
She glance at Rex wanting to rebut but Rex beat her to it, ”Sir, Is there anything you can do so that woman can't peep into my side?”
”Sure thing”, the staff said before he brings a walk-draw curtain just like what Rex asks for.
After putting the walk-draw curtain between them, the staff bowed a little and left.
While this is all happening, Vanessa was at a loss for words knowing that Rex did this just to make fun of her.
”ARE YOU SERIOUS?!”, Vanessa shouted desperately.
A couple of minutes passed, and Vanessa finally shut up after rambling angrily.
Rex can hear Vanessa's calm breathing and deduce that she's taking a nap,
He then slowly puts another Miniscule Demon Energy Suppression before he places the rest of the Demon Core into the tub.
The rest of the Demon Core contains a couple of bigger Demon Cores that Rex got from killing the winged demon.
So this session should benefit Rex more, and after putting the Demon Core,
The same thing happened, the crystal clear water turns black after the Demon Cores dissipated and the stinging pain comes once again.
But this time, it is even more brutal as if Rex's body is electrocuted.
”Rrrgghh!!”, Rex grunted trying to hold back his voice by desperately clenching his jaws.
While he's suffering from immense pain, Rex suddenly widens his eyes when slight fiery blue energy came out from the water.
It then wrapped around his body before suddenly, ”Arrghh!”,
The veins on Rex's neck bulged as he fight through the pain,
Based on how the blue energy feels, Rex knows that this energy came from the Demon Cores belonging to the winged demon.
The energy it contains is far more powerful than the session before.
SWOOSH!!
Rex widens his eyes again when the steam turns blue because of the energy, and the pain becomes even more painful as his eyes bulge.
”ARGH!!”, Rex lets out his voice for a moment in pain.
Vanessa snap out of her nap upon hearing a grumbling sound from her side,
She looks to her left and saw a shadow of Rex's body trembling, and she notice that the grumbling sound came from Rex's side.
”What is he doing?”, Vanessa mumbles in confusion.
Vanessa came out of the tub before wrapping herself in a towel,
She slowly walks around the curtain curious about what Rex is doing, the sound of Rex's groaning lightly can still be heard.
And this makes Vanessa becomes even more curious,
Vanessa grabs the curtain lightly trying to make as little sound as possible, she then opens the curtain in one go before her body freezes.
Behind the curtain, she saw Rex with his hazy eyes looking at her.
Rex already senses Vanessa's movement right when her breathing rhythm changes, he pays close attention to Vanessa because he knows that he's making a lot of noise.
So it wouldn't be surprising for Vanessa to be curious, just like she did now.
”Didn't I say no peeping?”, Rex said playfully.
Hearing this, Vanessa closed the curtain hurriedly feeling embarrassed.
Without even replying to Rex's remarks, Vanessa went back to her tub and drown her head inside the tub as if she's hiding from Rex.
”You know that I can peep at you back in return!”, Rex shouted from the side.
Vanessa burst her head out of the water before she shouted, ”Don't you dare! I won't forgive you if you try to peep on me!”
”I bet that's what you do to piss the Vampire off! You peek at the Vampire's princess while she's taking a bath didn't you!”, Vanessa added.
Rex chuckles after hearing her remarks,
But unknown to Vanessa, the water in Rex's tub is black and thankfully it already decreases onto Rex's stomach height.
That is why Rex intentionally surprises her by catching her peeking.
He did it so that Vanessa will not catch the black water, if she catch the black water then she will instantly become a pain in the ass with her questions.
”I almost got caught”, Rex mumbles with a sigh.
Meanwhile,
”Where's Rex, Where's Rex”, Edward mumbles while looking around.
He just exit the VIP room in the hope to find Rex,
Kyran is not waking up because of the dark orb and Edward can't do anything about it, and also his fire turns black and it even manages to turn something into ash.
Black charcoal ash nevertheless,
Anyone who is in Edward's position will definitely be filled with confusion.
Many gazes landed on Edward as he walks weirdly while holding onto the wall, but Edward pays the weird gazes no mind.
Until then, one of the staff approaches him.
”I'm sorry, Do you need any help?”, the staff asks in concern.
Hearing this, Edward grabs the staff's shoulder and said, ”I'm a friend of Rex Silverstar, tell me where can I find him?”
”Uh- Let me check”, the staff said before checking her phone.
But out of nowhere, a group of people approached Edward.
”Isn't it Edward from Faraday University, What happened to you? Got separated from daddy?”, a man said with a mocking laugh.
