BAAM!!
The leader shot away before crashing onto the wall in front of Rex,
After glancing at the leader who is now unconscious, Rex walks back to check on Rosie and Adhara.
“How’s Rosie?”, Rex asks, looking at Rosie who is pale and still unconscious.
Adhara sighs and replied, “I think she’s out cold, Let’s just asks the lecturer to take her away”
Hearing this, Rex turns around and shouted, “HELP!!”
After waiting for a while, the lecturer didn’t come even after waiting for another minute.
Rex frowns, as he was frowning he heard a chuckle coming from his back.
He turns around and cast a questioning look to Adhara who is still chuckling,
Amidst her chuckle, Adhara said, “Did you forget? The grey stone is still active”
Rex cursed himself for forgetting it, he crushed the grey stone with his hand and wanted to shout again but was stopped by Adhara.
Rex turns his head towards Adhara in confusion,
“Are you dumb?! You just killed Lucas and you wanted to call a lecturer?”, Adhara said with a disbelief expression.
Rex widened his eyes in realization, “Oh yeah, I forgot about that”
Rex walks to Lucas’s corpse and picks him up, his hands trembled while picking up Lucas.
‘Hmm, Although I feel fine, It’s still my first time killing a human’, Rex thought before he brings Lucas’s corpse and put it under the Skeletal Dragon claw.
He then stabs the dragon’s claw into Lucas’s stomach in hope that the lecturer will believe that he is killed by the dragon.
After everything is done, Rex then once again called out for the lecturer.
Not long after, one of the lecturers came.
She’s flying majestically with a fire cloud beneath her that makes the surrounding temperature instantly rise, from the ground she looks like a blazing fire goddess.
Rex heard about this particular lecturer, the students always drool over her because of her beauty, and she is the weakest among the lecturer. Although she is the weakest, her destructive capabilities are the best.
She is Hera Larson, one of the lecturers of Ochyra University known as the Red Rose.
Hera landed just in front of Rex, her red hair is matching with the fire surrounding her body that makes Rex compliment her taste in his heart.
‘Surely that’s not her real hair color right?’, Rex thought.
Hera looks at the skeletal dragon behind Rex and was a little bit surprised, beating a rank three supernatural is not a small feat for students.
She looks at Adhara and Rex and shakes her head, ‘There’s no way these kids can win, especially there’s this guy who is a non-Awakened in their team’
Hera glance around the place and was shocked, she saw many students lying on the ground or stuck at the wall as if they’re hit by a powerful force.
“What happened to them?”, she asks flatly.
Rex follows her gaze before looking back at her, “My team is fighting the Skeletal Dragon here and then the other students wanted to rob us that result in a three-way fight. My friend is injured because of that, I think she can’t go on with this field test”, Rex answered and making up things to cover for his track.
Hearing Rex, Hera summons a fire cloud and makes a protective barrier around Rosie but just as she wants to lift Rosie up with a flick of her hand, Rex beats her to it.
Rex carries Rosie carefully, the heat that comes out of the fire cloud is scorching him a bit but he can manage. He walks confidently and puts Rosie on the fire cloud under Hera’s gaze.
Hera’s eyes widened in shock while looking at Rex who is casually approaching her fire cloud.
All the students know that in order for a man whether he is a student or another lecturer, they need to have a sufficient amount of power just to talk to her.
The fire emitted by her acts as some kind of filter for those weaker people, even some rank three or early rank four Awakened can’t sustain the heat so Rex who is considered a non-Awakened should have no chance of approaching her.
‘How did he?’, Hera was speechless, she can’t comprehend the logic behind what she was seeing.
Rex notices Hera’s weird expression, he decided to smile at her to be more polite.
‘Why is she looking at me like that? Did she caught my lie?’, Rex thought sweating bullets.
Hera snaps out of her daze and also brought the other students to her fire cloud, she then frowns when she notices Lucas’s corpse.
She instantly recognizes Lucas, she frowns hard after realizing who he is, ‘This is going to be troublesome’
Hera flies once more but before she gets away, she throws the watches where the other students put their points to Rex and asked, “What’s your name?”
Rex was hesitant in saying his name but under Hera’s gaze he finally answered, “Rex Silverstar from class 1-C”
Hearing Rex’s answer, ‘So that guy is the Rex Silverstar, no wonder’, she thought before flying away.
Rex heaves a sigh of relief after Hera left, he looks at the watches on his hand and puts all the points into his watch.
Rex’s points that are only about seventy jumped into one hundred and ninety, he looks at the leaderboards and saw he is in the fourth position with thirty difference with the third position.
He then walks to the Skeletal Dragon’s corpse and puts his hand on it.
Immediately after, his points increased by one hundred rising his position to the third position.
The second position is held by a group led by Ivy with four hundred points, while the first position is held by a group led by Gregg with four hundred and forty-five points.
Rex is satisfied with his position but suddenly his inner competitive nature prickles him, he wanted to be number one!
But when he looks at Adhara, he shakes his head.
Adhara looks haggard, her breathing is heavy and her usual rosy face is pale.
Rex walks to Adhara and said, “Let’s rest for the day”
Adhara nodded her head in relief, she then leans her head on the wall to rest.
Adhara is suffering from Mana Exhaustion, it is a state where an Awakened overused their mana that results in exhaustion. Mana can be replenished naturally by resting or meditating, there are potions to replenish mana but it is considered a high-rank potion so it is very expensive.
Rex follows Adhara and sits beside her, the atmosphere between them suddenly becomes awkward.
Adhara closes her eyes pretending to be asleep while Rex was deep in thought.
“What did she think of me after seeing me like that? She didn’t look scared though”, Rex thought while stealing glances at Adhara.
Rex sigh in helplessness, “I got carless again, the first time is with Rosie now her”, he looks at Adhara sleeping and suddenly a thought came into his mind.
‘Should I just kill her?’, He thought but he immediately shakes his head after realizing what he is thinking.
‘I’m not a killer! Let’s just ask her later’, He thought before closing his eyes to rest.
Although Adhara looks calm on the outside, inside she is in a mess. She is ransacking her brain to craft words to ask Rex what he really is.
But after a while, she decided to sleep because exhaustion takes over her.
The maze is dark and foggy as usual, a scream can be heard once in a while but no skeletons come near them. Despite the eariness of the maze, Rex felt the mildness and comfort if its not for the hard ground it will be perfect for Rex.
After ten minutes or so, Rex opens his eyes and decided to open his stats.

Rex notices the changes in the race section, ‘So, I’m a full-fledged Werewolf now huh’, he thought.
The thought of him becoming a Werewolf still stabs his heart but he decided to ignore it.
He also notices the changes in his stats especially his strength stats, ‘An Evolution should be an overall increase in stats right? Why does my strength increase tremendously but my other stats didn’t’
Just as he thought about it, a dinging sound was heard.
<during the=”” evolution=”” process,=”” the=”” user’s=”” potential=”” has=”” been=”” unlocked.=”” you=”” can=”” check=”” in=”” the=”” skill=”” section=””></during>
Hearing this, Rex opens the skill section and saw a new passive skill appear.
<absolute strength=””></absolute>
<the user=”” is=”” gifted=”” in=”” strength,=”” your=”” strength=”” is=”” naturally=”” stronger=”” than=”” other=”” people.=”” every=”” time=”” the=”” user=”” level=”” up,=”” the=”” increase=”” in=”” strength=”” will=”” be=”” three=”” instead=”” of=”” one=””></the>
Looking at this, Rex was delighted.
From little he always wanted to be strong, he doesn’t want to be the guy who dodges an attack and love a full brawn fight. He thought of this to be more manly than running away and low-blowing the enemy.
So this passive skill or should he say potential is the one he wanted.
Rex felt good about the skill, he is in a better mood because of it.
He opened back the stats tab and saw the pack section under his name which he just noticed.
‘Pack? Does that mean pack like a pack of wolf?’, he thought when suddenly he came into a realization.
‘Does that mean I can make others into a Werewolf just like me?!!!’
