Rex gritted his teeth as Issac got away,
He also becomes irritated after seeing the system’s notification,
<Sudden Quest Failed>
<The user will not get the Quest Reward>
‘This is the first time I failed a quest, I’ll make sure to kill you next time’, Rex thought while thinking about Issac before.
But then, he suddenly remembers the scene when he punches Issac.
Right when his fist was about to land on Issac’s face, he heard Issac shouted something as red scales appeared on his skin.
It was a bizarre method, and Rex didn’t know Vampires have such spells.
“Thank you, young man”
“Bless you both for saving us”
“Are you two also a Black Hand?”
The captured humans that got saved by Liliya’s barrier thanked Rex and Liliya, they manage to survive thanks to both of them.
All of them are grateful, they didn’t even know what will happen to the half others.
Hearing them, Rex ignores them.
But Liliya on the other hand shows her black crow tattoo before the people that got saved smile in surprise.
“We’re right to join AoL!”
“Yeah, thank god we join the AoL”
Rex heard what they said before he thought, ‘So this city is also a part of the banded level four city that is protected by the SCO huh, no wonder Green Messenger sent me here”
When Rex is thinking, Liliya approaches him and said, “Did you see the spell that Vampire use right before he got teleported?”
“Yes, it’s weird and I never knew Vampires can do that”, Rex said with a frown.
But then, Liliya added, “They shouldn’t be able to do that, the spell that Vampire use is the war spell of the Dragonman. It’s what makes the Dragonman known for its defense”
Realizing this, Rex looks at Liliya in shock.
Liliya nodded her head, “They somehow can use a Dragonman spell”
Rex was surprised by the realization, he has a hunch that the spell Issac use is not normal but to be actually a Dragonman’s spell is still surprising.
‘Just like Strada City, Siren’s spell shouldn’t be red in color. They live in the sea!’, Rex thought.
He remembers the attack that he saw in the news about Strada City being attacked by Sirens, General George was the one that got attacked.
It’s weird from the start, the Sirens territory is far away.
The UWO and other organizations think that the Sirens somehow find a way to attack them from afar, using some kind of formation to teleport the attack.
“What if they manage to find a way for races to use different races spell, it can’t be no other explanation”, Liliya said.
Rex also agrees with her, ‘If the attack is red then that means it’s probably an attack from the Vampire or Demons, so they did find a way to use other races spells’
After realizing that, Rex then said, “You should go report these findings to the Green Messenger”
“Where are you going? You’re not coming?”, Liliya asks.
Rex shakes his head, ‘The Violet Moon is tonight, and also’, Rex thought before he turns his head to the side.
There, he saw Rosie is stealing glances at him.
‘Well it’s a relief that she’s in the right half’, Rex thought with a sigh.
Liliya notice Rosie looking at Rex before she said, “I know that she knows you, so I decided to save the half where she’s in”
Rex looks at Liliya in surprise, he thought that Liliya did it in random.
“Thanks… I guess”, Rex said before he scratches his head.
Seeing Rex acting this way, Liliya smiles before she said, “Just give me the tears, I will report back to the Green Messenger while you take care of her”
“What?! I didn’t say I would go with her”, Rex said aghast.
Hearing this, Liliya chuckles lightly, “Since when did you get flustered easily? I thought you’re always calm and collected”
“Just take this and go”, Rex said as he tossed the pouch of tears.
Liliya then left to report back to the Green Messenger,
After she left, Delta approach Rex before she rubs her head on Rex’s side.
“You did a good job, I’m surprised”, Rex said while patting Delta’s head.
Delta whimpers annoyedly hearing Rex look down on her, this makes Rex chuckle before suddenly a voice called out to him, “Rex…”
Rex looks back and saw Rosie behind him,
Now that Rex looks at her properly, Rosie didn’t change one bit from the last time they met.
She is still the same beautiful girl with her hazel and brown curly hair, despite her haggard look because of the incident before, she still looks stunning as always.
Rex looks at her while slightly widening his eyes before he turns stoic again after scanning her, ‘I guess it’s not such a good thing to not change much’, he thought.
Rosie then said, “Rex, I want to tal-“
But before she can finish, “You come with me”, Rex said before he dragged Rosie to a much more quiet place.
The captured humans have already recovered and already going back to check their houses,
But some of them still look shocked, and some are crying after seeing their loved ones killed because of this tragedy.
Their city that has been flourishing got raided by the Vampire, and thankfully they survive.
Amongst them is Victor,
Rosie saw Victor going back to his house casually, he didn’t seem bothered at all.
This makes Rosie pissed because of how Abby sacrificed herself for a guy like him, but she’s not in a position where she can confront him.
Especially when she saw how Abby talks about him before,
Abby will not want her to do anything to Victor, and Rosie knows it.
Rosie then sigh as she got pulled away by Rex, she still can’t believe that Abby is dead.
Abby’s annoying voice and her effort to comfort still can be seen clearly in Rosie’s head, she’s just talking to Rosie an hour ago but now she’s dead.
Rex pins Rosie on a wall far from the others, and Rosie snapped out of her daze before she looks down in front of Rex.
She didn’t have the guts to look Rex right in the eye,
Although it’s been a while since they met, she still remembers clearly the words that Rex said to her that night.
“Did you keep my secret?”, Rex asks softly.
Hearing this, Rosie looks up with a surprised look, “Of course I did! I never told a single soul about your secret”, she said hurriedly.
Both of them stop while staring at each other,
Rosie then realized that she’s looking Rex straight in the eyes before she averted her gaze.
Rex studies her expression while squinting his eyes making Rosie nervous, he then said, “I trust you. Now you got another secret of mine, keep it”
After saying that, Rex walks away.
Looking at Rex turning his back, Rosie shouted, “Do you mean being a part of the Black Hand?”
Rex stopped in his track as he chuckles lightly, he clicked his tongue in displeasure before he approach Rosie again, “What do you want now?”
“Let me into your pack”, Rosie said nonchalantly.
Hearing this, Rex chuckles, “I told you no last time, and it’s still the same answer”
“You did something for me for your first secret, now you have let me in your pack if you want me to keep your second secret”, Rosie said bravely.
Rex glared at her in anger,
Rosie just realized what she just said before she added hurriedly, “Look, If you let me into your pack then I will make sure to do anything you said”
“Yet I already told you the answer, you’re just not in line with my target”, Rex said harshly.
The sun is up and already shone down on them, the birds are already singing signing that it’s morning already.
Rex look at Rosie straight in the eyes, and this time she didn’t back down.
Looking at this, Rex was quite intrigued,
But then, he saw Rosie’s sweat that flow down all the way from her neck to her collarbone.
He tries to avert his gaze but something in him prevents him from doing so.
Seeing Rex’s weird behavior, and where his eyes are looking, Rosie’s eyes lit up as she remembered something.
“You’re an Alpha, right? From based on what I read, and Alpha needs a Female Alpha”, Rosie said seductively.
Rex knows that something is wrong with him and Rosie notice it too,
But no matter how hard he tries to look away, his insides are preventing him from doing so making him helpless in the situation.
He then said, “I already have a Female Alpha”
“Is it Adhara?”, Rosie asks.
Rex nodded his head, it’s at least what the system said before.
Rosie stops for a moment seeing Rex nod his head, she then takes a deep breath to calm her down and lean closer to Rex.
Her lips then went closer to Rex’s ear before she whispers, “Then where is she now? When the Violet Moon is already so close at hand”
Hearing this, Rex widened his eyes in surprise.
He looks at Rosie in shock, ‘How did she know? Even Adhara didn’t know about this’
Seeing Rex’s surprised look, there’s a sweet smile on Rosie’s face before she slipped her arms and lock them on Rex’s neck.
Their bodies are close together, and Rex can smell Rosie’s sweet scent.
Rex’s head started to spin as his breathing becomes heavy, “Get off me…Don’t come any closer”, he said weakly while pushing Rosie off of him.
After Rosie got pushed away, Rex started to walk away from her.
Rosie wanted to catch up but Rex shouted, “Don’t! Just Don’t…”
He then left the place and goes to Delta who is waiting for him, his walk is not as steady as before and his chest is burning on fire.
“Let’s go Delta”, Rex said before he and Delta walks away.
Rosie is looking at him from the back, and there is a smile on her face.

Meanwhile,
Normal Faraday University’s students are going to their classes, it’s already morning and the first class of the day was about to start.
It’s just like any other normal morning,
But outside of Faraday University, there’s a commotion going around.
“Sir I want to buy that!! I came here first!!”
“Get out of the way!!”
“I’ll buy that twice the price!! Let me have it now!!
Many students are gathered on a Magic Shop,
Magic Shop sells spells and items to increase magic power potency or even their ranks, it’s always crowded because Awakened needs items such as Elemental Stones.
The university provides the necessary items for their students, but it’s always better to have more.
But today, the Magic Shop is more crowded than usual.
Long lines of Awakened can be seen filling the street, and they’re all going to the Magic Shop to buy a new item that makes them crazy.
There’s a sign on the front of the shop,
‘New Item, Ultra Grade Fire Stone! Greater than high grade! Purchase it now!’
Just from the sign, the Awakened that line up for this Ultra Grade Fire Stone are all Fire Elementalist that just got the news.
This rumor about Ultra Grade Fire Stone travels fast and far,
With only a day of selling, the Fire Stone becomes the hottest item in the whole sector.
Everybody is curious about this Ultra Grade Fire Stone, and everyone that bought it came back as soon as possible to buy more.
This creates this crowd that is gathering for the Ultra Grade Fire Stone,
In front of the Magic Shop, there are two people looking at the Magic Shop across the street with wide smiles on their faces.
These people are Adhara and Edward,
“It’s not a surprise, even I got shocked when I use the Fire Stone you made”, Edward said while looking at the crowd of people.
Hearing this, Adhara chuckles, “Yeah, If I were them then I would be as crazy if not crazier”
The stone that Adhara accidentally made turns out to be some form of Fire Stone, and this is the first batch that she made for testing.
And the result is in front of their eyes, people craved for this.
But then suddenly,
“Adhara? What’s wrong”, Edward asks.
Adhara suddenly swayed left and right imbalance, there’s a ringing voice inside her head and her chest is hurting like crazy.
The pain is unbearable as she falls slumping to the ground,
“You okay? Let’s go to the infirmary”, Edward said while holding Adhara’s shoulder.
She nodded her head before she walk into the university with Edward’s help, ‘What’s happening? Why is my chest hurting so bad’
The pain she had is not a physical one, but it’s some sort of mental pain.
It feels exactly just like when getting betrayed by a friend or a partner, it is even almost as painful as seeing her mother die.
‘Did something happen to Rex?’, she thought in concern.
