Rex and the others roam around the place trying to find a spot that is exposed to the moonlight.

The giant trees are very lush, their leaves and trunks covered the sky. It's very hard to find the perfect spot to recuperate.

After searching for five minutes, they luckily find one.

There is a gap between the trees that lets the moonlight shine through, the gap is quite big for the four of them to be exposed to moonlight at the same time.

Adhara helped Rex gets down from Delta before she carry Kyran.

Kyran lies on the rough ground just under the moonlight as his body started to emit a faint blue aura upon shone by moonlight, the moonlight makes Kyran feel relaxed and rejuvenated.

Seeing this, Rex then said, ”Pull the thorn out, it's okay now”

With a swift pull, Adhara pulls the thorn out of Kyran's chest as blood spurted out.

”Rrghh!”, Kyran grunted as the pain overwhelms him.

Although he's now a Werewolf, he's not used to getting hurt like this because he rarely gets this injured even during his training.

The gaping hole on his chest makes beads of cold sweat appear on Kyrans forehead.

His eyes averted to see the gaping wound on his chest, getting injured and injuring someone are two different things.

”Don't worry, that kind of injury is not going to kill you”, Rex said assuringly, but Kyran still feels sick even though he knows that he will be alright.

Rex can see him struggling to not look at the wound on his chest.

Adhara also becomes uncomfortable because of Kyran's gaping wound.

Looking at both of them panicking, Rex sigh as he forgot that both of them came from different backgrounds than him.

After a slight whimper from Kyran, Adhara suddenly said while glancing at Rex, ”You have been in a more painful state than this”

Her words attract Rex's attention making him glance at her.

”H-How can you be so calm even when you're injured badly”, she added in curious.

Adhara then said in awe, ”It's like your pain tolerance is very high, and I just can't help to wonder how you reach such a state”

But the stutter and her trembling voice show that she's uncomfortable, especially upon seeing Kyran who can only look up at the moonlight avoiding seeing his gaping wound.

Rex smiles lightly before he replied, ”I didn't always as calm as now, I'm trained”

”How did you exactly got trained?”, Kyran suddenly asks while keep looking at the moonlight.

Hearing this, Rex remembered the time that he got put into that rigorous training before he said, ”I got into prison when I was still a part of the military”

Both Adhara and Kyran were quite surprised to hear this statement.

Rex thought for a moment before he corrected, ”I should've gone to prison but a friend of mine from the military help me, and thus I got transferred to the SRU instead”

”There I got trained with Edward and my other friend, Kyle”, Rex added.

But Adhara and Kyran can hear a slight pain when Rex said the name Kyle, but they didn't intervene as Rex seem to feel sad remembering this Kyle.

Rex then continues, ”There's a room we called the red room there, it's more like a torture room. If we do any mistakes, they will put us there for a day to remind us to not make mistakes.

Upon hearing this red room, Adhara and Kyran's skin got goosebumps.

Seeing their scared reaction, Rex chuckles before he continues, ”It's not what you think. Yes, we got tortured a lot there but most of the times we will be conditioned there”

Adhara and Kyran listen to Rex's story attentively feeling curious.

Rex thought for a moment before he frowns, ”My mentor always said to clear my mind, every time I got tortured he kept repeating those words”

”Now that all of that is in my past, I realized what my mentor means”

After saying that, Rex looks at Kyran before he said, ”The key in increasing your pain tolerance is not just getting used to the pain, but also your mind. Your mind is a powerful thing that you can harness, and this will greatly increase the maximum pain you can tolerate”

”If you're panicking or nervous upon getting injured, the pain will be amplified”

Hearing this, Kyran scrunch his forehead in thought before he closes his eyes and tries to steady his breathing for a moment.

Adhara also nodded her head mentally writing what Rex said.

In just a moment, Kyran's breathing becomes even more steady and he feels the stabbing pain on his chest start to decrease as he tries to mimic what Rex said and calm himself down.

Although it's hard to calm himself down, Kyran manages to do so by thinking positive thoughts.

While this is all happening, Adhara glance at Kyran.

Then, her eyes widened before she look at Rex in surprise, ”It actually worked! I can't believe it!”

Rex smiles in reply before he leans on Delta behind him.

Silenced cover them again, but now Kyran already opened his eyes and not as tense anymore.

Delta is already sleeping behind Rex as the wound on her body also started to heal, it's surprising that the moonlight somehow also takes effect on Delta.

After a moment, Adhara glance at Kyran before breaking the silence.

”Wedron City huh? We met you there on our way, it's basically your home”, Adhara said.

Hearing this, Kyran remembered the harsh times that he went through trying to just live day by day after both of his sister's death.

It's not a good memory, but he won't be here if he didn't struggle there.

”Yeah, I kind of want to visit my sisters' grave”, Kyran said meekly.

Adhara looks in Rex's direction before he said, ”We don't have the time right now, we can visit and even transfer your sister's grave next time”

Kyran was a little bit down upon hearing this, but he didn't mind.

But then suddenly, Kyran asks, ”What about you Rex? Where is your hometown?”

Upon hearing what Kyran said, Rex's body froze for a moment. The bitter memory flash past his brain again as his expression changed slightly.
