Rosie was caught off guard, she didn’t expect that Rosie can dodge her attack mid-air, ‘Shit!’
BOOM!!
Adhara’s body exploded with the fire element, the explosion sent a devastating shockwave to the surrounding.
The Barrier flickers because of the explosion, the barrier is only made to be able to sustain an early rank four power because no first-year got into rank four yet.
But now, the barrier flickers which means Adhara’s attack almost as good as a rank-four.
Rex was also shocked, he also didn’t expect Rosie can force Adhara to use her Agility Rune given by Rex when she turned into a half-Werewolf.
The Arena was filled with smoke, the students can’t see what is happening inside the Arena.
“Did Adhara win?”
“Rosie definitely takes a direct hit from Adhara’s spell, It’s hard to picture Rosie still standing after that”
“Ssstt, shut up dude”
Soon after, the smoke starting to dissipate.
The students can slowly see what happened inside the Arena,
They saw Adhara is still standing with fire blazing around her body, she looks annoyed for some reason.
On the other side, Rosie is surprisingly still standing on two although bloodied.
Her eyes are still staring at Adhara’s eyes, her eyes seem reluctant of the outcome but the reality already said so.
‘I already use my family’s skill, but Adhara is just too fast. I need to learn the third stance if I want to win’, Rosie thought with reluctance.
Rex shouted from the side, “It’s enough”
Rosie glance at Rex while still burning with determination, she then sighs and wanted to surrender but suddenly Adhara arrives in front of her with a blazing fire hand.
Adhara sent a punch towards Rosie,
The referee notices this and wanted to stop it but Rex beat him to it,
BAM!!
Rex caught Adhara’s punch as he stares at Adhara sharply, “I told you it’s enough”, Rex said while applying pressure to Adhara’s hand.
Adhara snapped out of it, she looks at her hand and was shocked.
Adhara’s aura vanished instantly as she looks at Rosie with guilt, “Rosie, I’m sorry. I don’t know what gotten into me”
Rex nodded his head to Rosie before Rosie replies to Adhara, “It’s okay, I forgive you”
Just as the three of them wanted to get down from the Arena, a devastating pressure suddenly locked onto them.
This pressure is not like any Rex has ever felt before, Adhara and Rosie felt the pressure and were slammed to the ground unable to resist.
Rex also falls to his knees feeling the pressure, he raises his head with great struggle and saw the principal is looking at them coldly.
The principal’s gaze seems to carry thousands of tons that can make even kings kneel in fright, Rex felt his body was pressed down by an enormous creature that can kill him in a whim.
The principal stands from his seat, “Rex Silverstar, How dare you interfere with the Tournament?”
The students went silent after they hear the voice, they all look down on instinct fearing they will be targeted after Rex.
Rex opens his mouth struggling to reply, “My apologies for stepping out of bounds, I act on instinct. It will not happen again”, Rex replied while trying hard to maintain eye contact with the principal.
The principal scorn, “There is a referee here for a reason, you don’t need to interfere or, are you looking down on the lecturers?”, He said with an air of authority.
The principal’s words are heavy, even the surrounding students fall flat to the ground.
Dark energy started leaking from the principal’s body, the saber on his back is trembling as if it’s excited because of the dark energy.
His blue eyes sent a piercing gaze towards Rex who is not breaking eye contact with him,
Just as the scene starting to escalate, the middle-aged man in military uniform stands up and said, “Sir Principal, I think it’s enough. It is not appropriate for you to take the problem into your hands, let the lecturers do it instead”
The principal locked eyes with the middle-aged man before he scoffed and retract his aura back,
He cast one last look towards Rex, “I hope you will refrain yourself from doing such things again”, He said to Rex before he sits back down.
Rex and the girls can finally breathe,
They stand up from the ground before they leave the Arena with heavy expression, ‘Although I know I’m wrong for interfering, the principal shouldn’t do that to a student’, Rex thought.
He swears that he will remember this event,
The referee clears his throat before declaring, “Although there is some disturbance, I declare Adhara Alpenore as the winner in this match!”
The students clapped awkwardly, they are still not out of the tension yet.
Rex and Rosie got out of the training hall while Adhara excuses herself and went back to the place under the tiger statue.
“You did well, I’m surprised”, Rex said to Rosie while walking towards the infirmary to treat Rosie’s injury.
Her body has a few scratches because of Adhara’s attack, especially her arms that are burnt because of trying to block the attack.
Rosie’s face turned red as she replied, “I lost, How can you be surprised”
“HAHAHA”, Rex laughs before he continues, “You are fighting against Adhara, I thought you will lose miserably but you put up a decent fight well done!”
Hearing this, Rosie stomps the ground grumpily, “Hmph!!”
Although she looks mad, deep down she is happy because at least she is not as helpless as before anymore.
Rex got his face closer to Rosie’s,
Rosie’s face turned red as a tomato, ‘Wait, what did he want to do? There are so many people here’, she thought.
But suddenly, Rex only got closer to her ears and whisper, “Actually, I want to tell you something about Adhara later”
Hearing this, Rosie replied, “Okay”
‘What am I thinking?’, Rosie thought as she turns her head away feeling embarrassed.
After treating Rosie’s injury, they got back to the training hall.
A rank five healer is treating the student’s injuries so, after just about a minute or so, Rosie’s injury healed until she’s back to her perfect form.
The match continues, the fight is not as exciting as Adhara and Rosie but some are still decent especially the students from class 1-D.
After hours of fighting, today’s match ended.
Rex and Rosie got out of the training hall,
They waited for Adhara but they can’t seem to find Adhara.
They tried searching for her, they search left and right but they can’t find Adhara as if she’s vanished.
After giving up, they walk back and separated on the dormitory section.
The day already turned into night, Rex was preparing himself to go to the rooftop to do his daily quest.
Before he left, he already texted Adhara and Rosie to meet up at the rooftop.
He arrives at the rooftop and saw Rosie already sitting in his usual spot, Rex approach Rosie and surprised her by poking her waist.
“AAHH!!”, she jolted in shock.
Rosie then glances at Rex and hits him on his shoulder, “Stop doing that! I told you for some reason I can’t seem to sense you clearly”
Rex laughs teasingly before sitting in front of Rosie,
Rosie rested her head on her hand and said, “So, what do you want to say about Adhara?”
Rex looks left and right, after confirming that nobody is eavesdropping on them, “Well actually, Adhara is a Half-Werewolf”
Hearing this, Rosie’s eyes widened in surprise, “WHAT?!!”, she screamed hysterically.
Rex glance at his surrounding, the students are all looking at Rosie, “Keep it down, do you want the whole University to know?”
Rosie then closed her mouth with both of her hands, “You can turn others into a Werewolf?!”, she asks.
Rex glance at her before nodding his head,
“She’s acting all strange lately is because the Dark Moon is approaching, So don’t take it to heart”, Rex explains trying to make Rosie understand.
“So that’s why”, Rosie replied as she realized Adhara’s odd behavior, she remembers when Rex turns into a Werewolf for the first time and it is not pretty.
Before Rosie can ask some more, Rex notices Adhara already arrives and signals it to Rosie.
“Hai Rosie”, She greeted coldly, her eyes then landed on Rex.
“Rex…”, She said sweetly, her tone is very different from greeting Rosie.
Hearing this, Rosie was at a loss for words.
She was annoyed greatly by Adhara’s bold provocation before Adhara sits beside Rex and hugs his arms sweetly,
Rex can only smile wryly as he asks the system, ‘System, you say that she supposed to be cold?’

Rex then asks again, ‘What traits?’

Reading this, Rex laughs dryly, ‘Haha, this is going to be troublesome’
Rex looks at Adhara who is snuggling under his arm and said, “I told Rosie about you, so you don’t have to hide it from Rosie”
Hearing this, Adhara glance at Rosie, “Oh, Good then”
Looking at Adhara, Rosie gritted her teeth, “I condone your behavior but…I WON’T LET YOU DO THAT TO REX!!”, she shouted after seeing Adhara is wrapping around Rex like a snake.
“Get off of him!!”, she said while pulling Adhara away from Rex.
Adhara ignores Rosie’s shouting, she pulls Rex’s hand and put it on her neck signaling Rex to squeeze it.
Looking at this, Rosie becomes more hectic, “Don’t you dare squeeze it!!”, she glares at Rex sharply.
‘What have I got myself into?’, Rex thought while smiling dryly.
After a couple of minutes of trying to take Adhara off of Rex, Adhara finally concedes and sits normally.
Rosie is hawking Adhara up and down, she will immediately move when Adhara tries to coil around Rex again.
Her mind wanders as she looks at Adhara, ‘Why did Rex makes her into a Werewolf and not me? What’s the reason’, she thought before resting her eyes on Rex who already started meditating.
Meanwhile, Inside a mansion that is bigger than the Frostbrand Mansion.
The mansion is luxurious with a hexagonal-shaped garden and a big fountain in the middle of it that has a blue crystal on top of it. The mansion is filled with guards that emit a powerful aura, based on the aura alone they are not less than rank four power.
The guard is guarding each corner of the mansion, they wear a black uniform with a black tiger badge on their chest which means they are a member of the black tiger guild.
A muscular middle-aged man is sitting while intertwining his hands in front of him in thought,
If Rex was to see this man, he will immediately recognize this man as Lucas’ father Duncan Platchi.
Duncan was in thought, ‘I knew it, Lucas didn’t die because of that skeleton. He died because someone crushed his neck, but which student has that kind of strength?’
After giving it some thought, Duncan grabs his phone and dials a number, ‘It seems I need to pull some strings with the lecturers that are in charge of the field test’
Back to Ochyra University,
Rex is already inside his room, he changed his clothes into his pajamas preparing to sleep.
Just as he wants to sleep, a black crow is pecking on his windows with a green scroll on its mouth.
Rex wakes up from his bed and opens the window,
The crow landed on Rex’s arm as it gave Rex the scroll, it then flapped its wings and left Rex.
Rex opens the scroll and reads it,
‘Rex, This is me. I hope you become stronger than the last time because I already assembled a team that will accompany you, so be prepared to meet them soon. Also, asks your girl friend if she wanted to join our organization, her potential is pretty good. That’s all, be safe and Goodbye for now.’
Reading this, Rex fell in thought, ‘A team huh, I wonder what kind of freakish people they are’
He then slams his tired body on his bed before closing his eyes entering dreamland, but little did he care he forgot to close the window.
