Rex went outside to find this canyon his maid talks about, but he went to the university’s cafeteria to eat first.
He felt weird when he arrives at the cafeteria after only walking for two minutes.
Back when he’s still in Ochyra University, he will need at least twenty minutes of walking to go to the nearest food place.
The size difference between the two universities is evident.
Arriving at the cafeteria, many students wearing red uniforms are eating there while talking with one another.
The university’s cafeteria is a spacious place with many tables and chairs in it.
On the side of the cafeteria is a big glass that boasts the scenery of the football field, and yes Awakened plays sports too.
It’s even a part of the class because it will help them train to control their elements.
Their kicks are imbued with their elements making their shots really powerful, because of this, the ball they’re playing with is not a normal ball.
Because of their powerful kicks, the football field is covered by a translucent barrier that will act as a shield for them.
If normal people were about to get hit by their shots, they will literally die.
The green lushes of trees with students playing football can be seen clearly from the cafeteria, and Rex’s stomach is growling.
He looks around the cafeteria and finds many kinds of food there.
‘Awakened High Energy Meal?’, Rex thought as he looks at the stall with many students lining up for the food.
Rex becomes interested before he started lining up.
Many of the students recognize Rex lining up, “Rex, please you can just skip the line and order straight away”, a guy said signaling Rex to go to the front.
“Yes, you earn that privilege”, another girl added.
Hearing this, Rex wanted to decline in polite but his stomach growls.
Grumble!
The guy and the girl heard Rex’s stomach growling before they smile cheekily, “It’s okay, I’m afraid that your stomach can’t stand another minute”, the girl said with a chuckle.
Rex’s face went red in embarrassment before he excuses himself to the front.
He doesn’t have to go to the cafeteria because the maids and the butler in his room can provide food for him, but he just wanted to go out.
Arriving at the front, Rex looks through the menu and didn’t recognize any of the food.
He then finally said, “I’ll just have your signature meal, and I would like to order two portions of it”
“Right away sir Rex”, the cook said with a smile.
The food didn’t take long to make, it’s done after two minutes of waiting.
Rex looks at the food in front of him and can’t help to widened his eyes, the aroma coming from the food is so rich that he started to drool.
It doesn’t have a great presentation, but the smell of it is delicious.
The food is a chunk of meat similar to a steak with a brown sauce on top of it, there’s also french fries on the side with mixed vegetables beside it.
Overall, the food doesn’t look that appetizing for him.
He then went to an empty table near the window where he can watch the football while he eats, he then started devouring the food.
Bite!
Rex bites the steak using a fork, the texture of the meat greatly shocks him.
He looks at the steak with a confused look, ‘The food is not great, it’s in fact basic with no substantial flavor’
But then,
<Obtained 4,000 Exp>
Rex was surprised when he got a notification from the system, he got 4,000 exp out of nowhere when he didn’t even do anything
Then, a realization came to him.
‘It’s the food?’, Rex thought in surprise.
He looks at the food in front of him with a curious look, he’s still doesn’t know why this food gave him exp unlike any other food in Ochyra University.
But when he’s thinking, two people sat in front of him.
Rex looks at the people and found that he never met the two of them.
“Hai! You must be Rex, I’m Lisa nice to meet you!”, a girl greeted Rex with a cheerful smile, she looks like a good girl based on her appearance.
She has short brown hair that falls to her shoulders, her white oversized sweater is covering her body from neck to waist, and her light brown eyes are eye-catching because of how bright they are.
Then, a guy beside her added, “Name’s Jack, We’re a second-year here”
Hearing them introducing themselves out of nowhere, Rex tilted his head and said, “Are you going to bully me senior?”
Both Jack and Lisa laugh hearing this, they didn’t expect Rex’s remarks after seeing them.
“How could we? You’re said to be on par with the top-ranker of the third-year”, Jack said while scratching the back of his head.
The rumor about Rex’s power started to spread in the university’s website forum, and all of the students of Faraday University must’ve known this already.
So none of them has the guts to be the first person beaten by Rex.
Lisa chuckles lightly, “We’re just saying hello, and also if you don’t mind we can show you around the university”, she said with a smile.
Rex’s eyes squinted as he looks at both of them,
Both Lisa and Jack unconsciously gulps roughly when they got stared at by Rex, his own achievement and fame can easily crushed theirs.
“I can tell you want something, just say it”, Rex said nonchalantly.
Lisa and Jack smiles wryly before Lisa said, “You saw right through us, I’m wondering if we can spar and train with Adhara”
Hearing this, Rex raises his eyebrows, “Why don’t you ask her yourself?”
“Well, she’s not exactly easy to approach”, Jack said with a sigh, it seem they both tried to talk to Adhara and failed.
‘Isn’t she friendly? Or is it just the new environment?’, Rex thought.
Rex leans back on his chair and said, “I’ll talk to Adhara about it, but you have to answer two questions for me”
Jack and Lisa were shocked, their hearts are not prepared for this.
They saw Rex’s expression turns serious as he gazes at both of them, he clasps his hands together in front of him while still looking at them.
‘What did he want to ask? Why the serious face?’, Jack thought.
‘Is my makeup messy? Why is he looking at my cheeks’, Lisa thought, she feels insecure under Rex’s probing gaze.
Rex opens his mouth making Lisa and Jack’s hearts thump, he then said slowly, “This food…What is it made of?”
Hearing Rex’s question, Lisa and Jack’s expression is that of a shock.
They thought that Rex will ask something important but turns out he only wants to ask about his food, their adrenaline spike for nothing.
“Man! Why the serious face if you’re just asking that”, Jack said while throwing his face away.
Lisa laughs and was relieved at the same time hearing Rex’s question, “If you’re asking about the meat, it’s a mutated animal meat”
The meat turns out to be mutated animal meat, it may be the cause of the exp Rex got.
‘Adhara has once eaten mutated animal before. If it can make Adhara strong, then why didn’t I thought of eating it too’, Rex thought while cursing himself.
Adhara has tried eating mutated animal in order to be stronger, the system said that it’s a behavior she may get but turns out it can really make her stronger.
If Rex knew about this sooner, he probably already tried eating it.
“It’s not good, but the energy you got from it can make you train longer”, Lisa added.
Jack then points at the stall and said, “Although it is expensive, many students are willing to pay in order to train longer”
“Expensive? I didn’t pay for my food!”, Rex said as he stands up from his seat.
He wanted to pay for his food after remembering that he forgot to pay for his food, but then he got held by Lisa as she pull Rex to his seat.
She then said, “Are you stupid? You’re the first-ranker, so of course, your food is paid for by the university no matter how much you eat”
Hearing this, Rex is instantly dumbfounded.
‘Paid by the university?’, Rex thought in surprise, but his surprised look turns into a smirk.
After about thirty minutes,
Piles of plates are stacked on Rex’s table that catches everyone’s eyes, the plates are like a mountain and there is a couple of mountains making many widened their eyes in surprise.
Even Lisa and Jack becomes dumbfounded,
It’s not the university’s pocket they’re concern about, but they’re shocked at how much Rex can actually eat that surpassed even Supernaturals.
Burp!
Rex then burps after fulling his stomach, there’s a happy expression on his face.
‘I manage to get 300,000 Exp from the food, If I can eat like this every time then that’ll be about 900,000 Exp per day’, Rex thought, he’s thrilled by this discovery.
“Are you finished now?”, Lisa asks still dumbfounded.
Rex nodded his head in satisfaction before she continues, “So, What’s question number two?”
With a stomach full of food, Rex can hardly move too much lest he will throw up everything that he just ate in the past 30 minutes.
He positioned his stomach and said, “Do you know of a canyon that just been found recently?”
“Canyon? I don’t like to read, so nope”, Jack said nonchalantly.
But Lisa beside him is thinking, she then snaps her fingers and said, “Oh! I remember a hidden canyon was found near here, What about it?”
“I want to know its location, I’m curious about it”, Rex said.
Lisa then replies, “You can check the exact location at the university’s website, there you can find any news in Sector 3E faster than in any other place”
Rex thanked both of them, he’s thinking that he will check it out today.
“If you don’t mind me asking, in Ochyra University there’s a rumor going on there”, Lisa asks, she seems to be curious about something.
She then continues, “There’s a public rule to not mess with any people around you”
Hearing this, a smile crept on Rex’s face, ‘There’s such rule going around? I didn’t know they are giving me that much credit’, Rex thought with a chuckle.
“Based on that rumor, Are you the one who trains Adhara?”, Lisa asks with a curious look.
Rex paused for a moment making Lisa becomes even curious, he chuckles when he saw Lisa’s expression becomes even desperate, “Well, I’m not her teacher but I do contribute to making them stronger”
Lisa and Jack becomes excited, they then said, “How did you do that?!”, they shout in a union.
The people around glance at the because of how loud their shouts are, it makes them sit back down on their seats.
“I have connections, that’s it”, Rex said nonchalantly.
He then positioned his full stomach before he stands up, he wanted to check on that canyon right this instant to find its location.
But he got stopped by the two,
Rex looks back with a questioning look before Jack said, “So, Will you ask Adhara to train with us?”
“We already answered your question, so you must fulfill your end of the deal”, Lisa said with a hopeful expression.
“Fine, I’ll talk to her”, Rex said before he walks away.
While walking, Rex can hear Jack and Lisa celebrating happily after he promised them he will talk to Adhara about them.
