Rex and the girls walk out of the Task Hall when suddenly Adhara remembers something and said, “Oh yeah! Dave told me to take our reward from the field test on the treasury”
‘I forgot about that’, Rex thought before they all go to the treasury.
Laura is walking on the back with a troubled expression, ‘I can’t even reach top five during the field test, just how did Rex get so strong’, she thought enviously.
Arriving at the treasury, the staff there ask for their names and verify their faces before giving them their rewards.
Adhara, Rex, and Rosie get their respective reward.
Adhara and Rosie each got medium elemental stones, fire for Adhara, and wind for Rosie.
Rex on the other hand only got a sleeveless battle armor, it is black and grey in color that covers his body from his shoulder to his toes, the shoulder pads are tiger-shaped.
Rex looks at the armor and a notification appears,
<sleeveless galant=”” armor=””></sleeveless>
<a sleeveless=”” armor=”” made=”” for=”” a=”” person=”” using=”” a=”” short-handed=”” weapon,=”” the=”” armor=”” will=”” not=”” hinder=”” the=”” mobility=”” of=”” the=”” user=”” and=”” has=”” a=”” high=”” resistance=”” against=”” bladed=”” strikes.=”” it=”” is=”” also=”” geared=”” with=”” rank=”” three=”” protection=”” and=”” anti-magic=””></a>
Increase the user’s endurance and agility by 10 and 5 and give a 5% resistance to magic attacks when equipped>
Reading this, Rex was quite surprised.
‘If I can see item’s stats then what about the girl’s gifts?’, Rex thought, he then looks at the items given by the girls.
<glove of=”” fire=””></glove>
<a battle=”” glove=”” given=”” by=”” adhara,=”” it=”” is=”” imbued=”” by=”” a=”” rank=”” four=”” fire=”” elementalist.=”” it=”” is=”” a=”” great=”” defensive=”” weapon=”” and=”” highly=”” resistant=”” to=”” bladed=””></a>

Increase the user’s overall stats by 10%>
The gifts given by the girls are surprisingly all useful, Rex now also knows that equipment can increase his stats.
‘This will be helpful during a mission’, Rex thought when suddenly his eyes caught the bracelet on his hand given by Rosie.
</possesive>
<a bracelet=”” made=”” of=”” iron,=”” it=”” is=”” made=”” in=”” a=”” pair=”” with=”” an=”” earring.=”” the=”” bracelet=”” and=”” earring=”” is=”” imbued=”” with=”” communication=”” rune,=”” the=”” person=”” wearing=”” the=”” earring=”” can=”” contact=”” the=”” other=”” person=”” and=”” send=”” a=”” limited=”” sentence=”” through=”” telepathy=””></a>
‘As expected from Rosie, giving me a useless bracelet pair that only the person using the earring can send a message but not the bracelet’, Rex complained in his heart.
He looks at Rosie and saw a shiny earring on her ear,
Rosie noticed Rex’s gaze and smiles at him, while Rex is getting annoyed the longer he looks at Rosie’s face and the earring she’s wearing.
After wearing the equipment, Rex looks fresh and have an Awakened air around him, his stats is as follows,
<stats></stats>
Name: Rex Silverstar
Pack: Silverstar (1/2)
Level: 11 (5290/8900)
Race: Werewolf

<average human=”” adults=”” have=”” 5-7=”” points=”” for=”” each=”” stats=”” except=”” for=”” intelligence=””></average>
Rex’s stats increased tremendously because of the equipment especially his strength and endurance stats, he nodded in satisfaction seeing his increase in stats.
After getting their rewards, Rex wanted to go back to his room feeling tired when suddenly, “Well would you look at here, the lazy squad finally got out from their cave”
A mocking voice comes from Rex’s back,
Rex turns his body and saw a dark-skinned guy with buzz-cut brown hair, he wears casual clothes but one can know that the accessories he uses are top-notch battle equipment. there is an oversized blue owl with a strong aura on his shoulders as he looks at Rex disdainfully.
Rex looks at the guy in confusion before Laura whispers to him, “He’s Gregg from class 1-D the first place on the field test, he called us lazy because there is a leaderboard for students with the highest cleared mission count”
“You scaredy cat should’ve stayed in your cave, the outside world is not for you”, he said pridefully while puffing his chest up.
Rex feels annoyed that a kid who knows nothing looking down on him, “What makes you say that?”, he asks.
Gregg smiles evilly and replied, “There is a saying in the Task Hall, those who didn’t clear any mission is a little scaredy-cat, HAHAHA”, he laughs as he passes by Rex and the girls.
“Good luck clown! Don’t die on your first mission”, Gregg said while waving his hand and left.
Rex’s veins bulge, he never lost his cool but that Gregg guy somehow gets on his nerve.
The girls know that Rex is pissed judging from his expression, Rex grabs Adhara’s hand and brought her away leaving Rosie and Laura.
Rex brought Adhara all the way to the dormitory section before he finds an empty corridor,
“What is it, Rex? What’s the hurry? We left Laura and Rosie there, we should get back”, Adhara said helplessly.
Rex holds Adhara’s hand and said, “I need to tell you something”
“What is it?”, asks Adhara curiously.
“When I turn you into a Werewolf, I’m afraid the other Werewolf packs noticed our presence”, Rex whispers slowly while looking at Adhara’s reaction.
Adhara’s face went blank, “Eh?”
Then suddenly she snapped out of her daze and flipped out, “What do you mean?! We can’t fight them, Rex!”
Rex calms Adhara down and said, “That’s why I need you to focus on getting stronger. Think about your father”
Adhara’s lips trembled, then she rebutted, “But, They’re too strong! I…”
Before Adhara can finish, Rex intervenes, “The reason I turn you into Werewolf is that I see hatred in your eyes, But now that I look at you, It seems the hatred that I saw belongs to your father, not you”, disappointment can be seen clearly on Rex’s face.
‘No matter what, the hatred is forced on her so it didn’t actually belong to her, but what’s done is done, let’s work with what we got’, Rex sigh, Adhara is still at a loss for words.
“I wanted to create a pack of Werewolves to fight the Supernatural, I want them to have a taste of their own medicine. So, if not for me then for your father, be stronger for your father”, Rex said before he left Adhara.
Hearing Rex’s words, Adhara felt a sense of obedience, the aura emitted by Rex seems to bring authority over her.
She then swore in her heart, ‘No matter what, I will get stronger. For Father, and for Rex’
A week passed,
Nothing unusual happened during this week, the news about Supernatural also quiets down as the week passes.
Rex does his usual routine, going to class and meditating during the night, He successfully broke through level 12,
He puts all of his attributable stats into his mental stats,
<stats></stats>

<average human=”” adults=”” have=”” 5-7=”” points=”” for=”” each=”” stats=”” except=”” for=”” intelligence=””></average>
Adhara also shows signs of improvement, instead of idly doing nothing, she now started to absorb the mid elemental stone diligently raising her power steadily.
Rex now is on his bed shirtless, he opens the system feeling bored when suddenly he remembers that the Green Messenger from before gives him an injection that he forgot as it sits idly inside the inventory.
He takes it out and immediately an injection appear on his hands,
There is a black substance liquid in it, Rex scans with the system and immediately a notification appears,
<mutation modifier=”” -=”” level=”” 1=””></mutation>
<an elixir=”” made=”” to=”” activate=”” the=”” mutation=”” of=”” a=”” gifted=”” person,=”” the=”” substance=”” can=”” increase=”” the=”” gifted=”” power=”” and=”” gives=”” other=”” mutation.=”” upon=”” injecting,=”” the=”” person’s=”” mutation=”” will=”” be=”” enhanced=”” as=”” well=”” as=”” gaining=”” night=”” vision=”” and=”” supernatural=”” sense=””></an>
Reading this, Rex was intrigued.
He then asks the system, ‘If I inject it into my body, will there be complications?’
<no, there=”” will=”” be=”” no=”” complications=””></no,>
After confirming with the system, he wanted to inject himself with the Mutation Modifier.
He stabs the injection to his arms and presses down the liquid inside it, the liquid is thick and it flows slowly to Rex’s insides.
Rex can feel the substance entering his veins when suddenly he felt sick, ‘System, you said there are no complications’, he thought to the system.
<the modifier=”” will=”” change=”” a=”” person=”” mutation=”” and=”” it=”” will=”” hurt,=”” but=”” the=”” user=”” is=”” a=”” werewolf=”” so=”” the=”” user=”” will=”” go=”” back=”” to=”” normal=”” in=”” a=”” moment=””></the>
After reading this, Rex can feel that his body started to get used to the substance.
Although the veins in his body are contracting uncontrollably, he didn’t felt uncomfortable on the contrary he can feel the substance enhancing his body.
After sitting in a meditative position for 10 minutes, notifications appear in front of Rex,
<congratulations on=”” absorbing=”” mutation=”” modifier=”” -=”” level=”” 1!=””></congratulations>
<absolute strength=”” has=”” been=”” enhanced,=”” increase=”” strength=”” stat=”” by=”” four=”” instead=”” of=”” three=”” points=”” upon=”” leveling=”” up=””></absolute>
<night sight=”” has=”” been=”” upgraded=”” into=”” medium-rank,=”” you=”” can=”” now=”” see=”” better=”” at=”” night!=””></night>
<gained supernatural=”” sense=”” passive=”” skill,=”” this=”” skill=”” will=”” help=”” the=”” user=”” in=”” sensing=”” supernatural=”” better=””></gained>
While these notifications popping in front of Rex, he is shocked about the godly elixir that he got.
He is now more interested in the organization behind Mr. Joseph and the Green Messenger, ‘To give something so powerful easily means that they are a huge unknown organization, the system also identifies the elixir is level 1 meaning there is a higher level elixir’, he thought feeling excited about the organization.
Rex looks at the rising sun from the window when suddenly,
DING!
His phone rang,
Rex looks at his phone and found Adhara message him saying, “Rex, I just got the information that there is a mission for us, I will send you the mission details”
Reading this, Rex smiles as he puts on his clothes and walks out of his room.
