Adhara’s eyes brighten up as she looks at the scattered High Elemental Stones, she even thought that she’s dreaming because it’s too unbelievable.
It’s just too good to be true.
If anyone was to see this many High Elemental Stones,
Not just the students, even the lecturers will be tempted to steal these High Elemental Stones that can make them a powerhouse.
By Reaching peak rank five, an Awakened will be a bigshot wherever he goes.
If the place he/she goes is in Ratmawati City, he might not be that special especially in the second or first sector but still, they’re well respected.
It will be a different story if the place they go is a city outside of Ratmawati City, they will be considered a god and worshipped if they go there.
All of their needs will be fulfilled no matter how hard it is.
Having a peak rank five Awakened living in their city is a blessing, not many Supernatural that raid them have rank six power.
So by having a peak rank five Awakened living amongst them, their safety is basically set.
Only a couple of unexpected raids like Zrolis City where they got raided by a horde of Supernatural lead by a pack of Werewolves can put the city down, and it’s very unlikely to happen again.
“How did you manage to get this?”, Adhara said while still gluing her eyes on the stones.
Rex chuckles lightly seeing her expression and said, “Just a deal I made with them, it’s all went according to plan”
“Thanks to you”, Rex added.
Hearing this, Adhara looks at Rex with a surprised look.
She is unable to contain her excitement as she jumps and hugs Rex, she’s filled with smiles as she can see their future is looking bright.
During the scene where Rex just found about the trouble Kyran brought, he was sent into a panic as his mind becomes cloudy.
But thanks to Adhara calming him down, he manage to devised a plan.
A very good plan that grants them many rewards, it’s not an exaggeration to say that this is possible because of Adhara.
Without her, maybe Rex will not be able to think about it clearly.
“Alright now, pack our stuff. We’ll go to Faraday University today, we’ll be staying and training there where we’ll be more efficient”, Rex said before Adhara let go.
Hearing this, Adhara nodded her head.
But when Rex was about to leave again, he said, “We’ll go to your father first and heal his arm”
After saying that, Rex left the room as a smile appeared on Adhara’s face.
Rex left his room before he calls Vargas, he tells him that he and Adhara will transfer to Faraday University today.
Vargas was ecstatic after hearing this, he even arranged people to fetch them.
After finishing his business with Vargas, his phone rings again but this time it is an unknown number that called him.
“Hello?“, Rex greeted.
The person on the other side then replied, “Rex, I just sent people to guard you. They already arrived at the university, you can command them as you please“
Turns out it is Deniz, he already arranged a group of people that will guard Rex.
“I’ll go to them right now“, Rex said before he went to the lobby.
Deniz already gives Rex their contact number so he can find them easily, Ochyra University is massive so it’ll be hard to find them without their contact number.
Arriving at the lobby, five people approach Rex.
Rex finds familiar faces amongst the five people, they are Ari and Jim that escorted him to meet Stevanus Reed before.
Ari then steps forward and said, “We’ll be under your command”
“No need for formalities, you’re all stronger than me”, Rex said politely, he can command them as he please but he didn’t want to be an asshole about it.
The other three people are new faces,
They introduce themselves to Rex, they are Jayendra, Dinesh, and Hamza.
Rex scans each one of them and found that they’re at least peak rank five excluding Jim and Ari, and they look like trained Awakened not just a nobody.
“Before I assign your tasks, I want to ask if any of you are forced here”, Rex asks.
He doesn’t want any of the people in front of him doing their tasks half-assedly, especially if he assigns them to protect their family that he will do later.
Jayendra chuckles after hearing this, he then said, “Forced? It’ll be an honor to work under a student that called Wesley a dog”
“Yeah, that’s some fucking balls right there”, Dinesh added.
Hamza on the other hand only smiles slightly, he seems to be agreeing with the others.
Seeing this, Rex can’t help but smile also, “That’s great then, I’m happy you all are excited to protect me”
Because of the slight exchange, Rex got closer to them.
Rex assigns Jim and Dinesh to guard his parents, Hamza and Jayendra to guard Adhara’s parents, while Ari will be sticking with Rex and Adhara.
After assigning them, Jim and Dinesh went to Rex’s parent’s house.
Rex already informs his mother that two guys will be there to protect them,
Mrs. Greene thanked Rex for his consideration and convince Rex that they will be okay, so Rex doesn’t need to be concern about them.
Rex then meet up with Adhara and told her the story.
Adhara becomes even more amazed by Rex,
Not only does Rex manage to get items that will make them stronger, but he also secures a friendship with the Reed Family and manages to protect their families.
Rex even provides two peak rank five Awakened to guard her father, this greatly touches her.
They then went to Adhara’s father,
Rex and Adhara look back to Ochyra University one last time, this will be the last time they will be here and they don’t plan to come back.
Unknown to both of them, a figure is looking at them from inside.
The figure is shaking a glass of wine while looking at them, an unpleasant expression is plastered on the figure’s face before the figure turns away.

Meanwhile,
Edward is currently on his way back to Faraday University, he’s sitting in his car while leisurely smoking his cigarette.
After helping Kyran and Ryze train, and dealing with Rex’s request he is finally able to go back to his house in sector 3E.
He looks exhausted because of the past days, the task Rex gave is not that easy for him to complete as his body felt drained.
Edward looks at the street full of people with an absent expression, he seems to be daydreaming.
It seems that he got a lot of things on his mind based on his absent expression, Edward inhales his smoke while slowly blowing it.
HONK!!
Edward turns the steering wheel to the side in shock, he almost hit a car from the opposite side.
‘That’s dangerous’, he thought as he steady his car again.
His daydream almost makes him crash but it looks like it doesn’t bother him, an Awakened will not easily die because of a car crash anymore.
After steadying the car,
Edward seems to make up his mind about something, he takes a sharp right making the cars behind him honk angrily.
The car speed through the street as Edward stepped on the gas.
After about three hours of driving, Edward arrives at a place but the place is not Faraday University where he is supposed to go back.
The place in front of him looks like a hospital but it’s quite small.
It even looks more similar to a drugstore rather than a hospital, the place is located in an alley with a traditional building around it.
Edward went out of his car before he heads inside.
“Hi, Can I help you?”, the receptionist said after Edward approach her.
Hearing this, Edward takes out his wallet before he takes a receipt from it, “I already make an appointment with…Doctor Velma Zeitler”
He then handed the receipt to the receptionist before the receptionist look at her.
After reading the receipt, the receptionist checks on the computer in front of her and said, “Doctor Velma will be available in a moment, please wait there”
Edward then takes a seat in the waiting place before he plays with his phone.
There are many weird people in this place,
Just after a couple of minutes of waiting, Edward already saw a person that is fuming in anger, a person that is crying, and even a person that looks blank.
He’s waiting in the waiting place with an old man on his side.
The old man looks frail and weak with completely grey hair, he’s very skinny that Edward thought that the old man might not be able to walk properly.
It’s completely different compared to an old Awakened, An old Awakened doesn’t look old at all except for their wrinkled skin and grey hair.
Aside from that, an old Awakened can still be standing straight and not frail at all.
Some researchers even stated that an Awakened have a prolonged lifespan, some even manage to live past their hundred while still brimming with power.
But the oldest Awakened only manage to reach 115 years, it’s still too early to set it at a cap.
“Young man, why are you here?”, the old man said making Edward looks at the old man in surprise, it’s because his voice is so croaky and hoarse.
Edward turns his head away from his phone and said, “I have a pretty rough life”
“Huh!”, the old man scoffs.
He then said, “You’re still young and you already need to go to this kind of place, If you’re sick then it’s understandable but all people have a rough life not just only you”
“Listen, life is too short for you to spend time in this place”, the old man added.
But just after he said that the old man got called by the receptionist telling him that his doctor is ready to meet him.
Hearing this, the old man bids goodbye to Edward and left.
After the old man left, Edward plays with his phone again while he mumbles, “I’m not sick on the outside. But if you were to be put in my place, you will already commit suicide”
Edward plays with his phone again,
While he’s playing, a woman wearing a white coat walks past him with a tray in her hand.
She then suddenly slipped making the tray fall to the ground,
CLANG!
Right after the clanging sound was heard,
Edward suddenly stands up and gripped the metallic seat in front of him, he then ripped the metallic seat in front of him before he jumped to the corner of the room.
The woman wearing a white coat was surprised when she saw Edward jumped to the side.
All of the people look at Edward with weird gazes, they saw Edward gripped the remains of the metallic seat in his hand with heavy breaths.
He looks left and right in panic before he suddenly snapped out of it.
Clang!
Edward dropped the metallic remains from the metallic seat he ripped before, he looks around before he sits back on his seat in embarrassment.
The people look at Edward weirdly, but then Edward’s name is called by the receptionist.
He went to Doctor Velma’s room after getting called, he’s guided by the receptionist all the way to the room.
Dr. Velma’s room is located on the back, it’s silent here and refreshing with all the pots filled with flowers and trees.
Edward knocks on the door before he went inside.
“Sir Edward right? please come in and take a seat”, Dr. Velma said while signaling Edward to sit on the seat opposite of her.
Edward excuse himself and sit on the seat.
Dr. Velma is a woman in her thirties with beautiful brown skin, her black hair is tied in a ponytail, and she’s wearing casual clothes with a flower pattern.
Her smile is giving a positive vibe just by looking at it.
After Edward sits, Dr.Velma then said, “I’m surprised you make an appointment with me so soon, I told you that the next session will be next month. What makes you come here?”
“It becomes worse, I…I don’t know what to do”, Edward said stutteringly.
Hearing this, Dr. Velma frowns with a look of concern, “Tell me about it”
