Rex is sitting on his bed in meditation,
He already packs all of the things he needs to go to Faraday University, he didn’t pack much but if he needs something he can just buy it from the system’s shop.
Because of his mid-rank affinity, absorbing lightning mana becomes easier although not as fast as when he’s in the Cluster Domain.
Specific element mana will become abundant if there’s a natural phenomenon going on, for example, if one wants to find fire mana then they just need to make fire on their surroundings without using mana.
For Rex, if he wants to find abundant Lightning Mana then the best time will be when there’s a storm that spat lightning. That lightning will then left lightning mana which can be absorbed by an Elementalist.
But for some reason, the Crystal on Rex’s Cluster Domain makes the lightning mana abundant and it is very useful, it can be classified as a high-rank treasure if known.
Not long after, Rex opened his eyes.
Rex can feel his power growing every time he finishes a session of meditation, he then opens the stat section to checks his stats.

‘Hmm, my stats rose for quite a bit, my strength can match that of a mid-rank four but it can match early rank five during the full moon’, Rex thought.
After seeing his stats, he opened the system’s shop and filter it to equipment only, ‘I got 10% Fire Resistance but if Kevin’s fire is just like that Luke kid…I need more resistance’
The dark fire although it can’t leave a dent on Rex’s skin it still hurts, Luke is only a measles rank three but that Kevin Luc is certainly a rank four.
He searches for equipment that gives fire resistance, there are many options but his eyes catch something.
<sakhmet tattoo=””></sakhmet>
A tattoo that is made by Khneum the water king, the tattoo is made using the damned fire queen Sakhmet blood. Queen Sakhmet is beloved by the Eternal Fire making it extremely scorching, Khneum suppressed this blood and turn it into a tattoo.
Grant the user 15% fire resistance (Can be stacked), the tattoo can be summoned at will.
Reading the item’s description, Rex got excited!
Sakhmet Tattoo will give him 15% fire resistance! It will bring his fire resistance to 25% which is astonishing!
This equipment will give him the edge against all Fire Elementalist, in the future, he might even have a perfect resistance to fire!
In the UWO list of official Awakened, Fire Elementalist occupy 27% of it.
This means that more than a quarter of all listed Awakened has fire-related abilities and spells, and having fire resistance will certainly come in handy in fighting future enemies.
That’s why Rex wanted Sakhmet Tattoo badly.
He wanted to immediately buy it but the cost for Sakhmet Tattoo makes him stunned, ‘Eh?’
Rex looks at the bottom right corner of the Sakhmet Tattoo description and found an astonishing 15,000 gold!
He currently only has 10,430 gold which is not quite far off from the costs.
The most expensive thing he bought from the system is the mid-rank affinity, but this equipment he wanted to buy costs almost two times more than the mid-rank affinity!
His heartache looking at the item, ‘I really want it, it will guarantee my win against Kevin Luc’
Rex was thinking about how to get Sakhmet Tattoo, he badly wants the item, ‘Sudden Quest and Dollar is the only way to get gold…’
Just as he was thinking, he remembered that there is still the Killing Intent quest from Gregg.
He checks the system’s sudden quest and found the killing intent quest still there, ‘Will the quest disappears when the quest becomes unavailable? using that logic, then Gregg will probably still try to kill me”, Rex thought.
Although the gold reward will not be enough, at least it will bring him closer to buy Sakhmet Tattoo.
An evil grin blooms on Rex’s face, his eyes flash with killing intent as he went out of his room.

On another dormitory not far from Rex’s,
“Gregg! There’s a change of plan, Rex decided to go to Faraday University today. We need to fast forward our plan into today”, a woman said hurriedly.
Hearing this, Gregg frowns, “Gaby? What happened? Why do we need to hasten our plan?”
“Kevin Luc provoked him, he then decided to return the favor by going to Faraday University”, Gaby said while packing her stuff.
Gregg laughs madly, “That Rex thinks he can beat Kevin? Too bad he will not be able to arrive at Faraday University”
After saying that, Gregg dialed his phone and calls someone.
Not long after, the person answers Gregg’s phone, “I need you to send the people to the designated place today”, he said.
*Bzztt* *Bzztt*
“There has been a change of plan, I’m sorry for the sudden request”, Gregg said politely.
*Bzztt* *Bzztt*
Gregg was stunned for a bit, he snaps out of it before answering, “Yes, I will pay triple the amount no problem, but are you confident?”, he said with a bead of sweat dripping on his forehead.
*Bzztt*
Hearing the answer from the person on the phone, Gregg smiles evilly, “I’ll look forward to that”, he then hung up.
Gaby on his side then asks, “What did they say?”
Gregg glance towards Gaby for a brief moment before saying, “They said they have never failed, Rex will certainly die by my hands”

After going out of his room, Rex met up with the girls.
They will go together by train, it’s quite convenient to have an exclusive to students train inside Ochyra University and they will make use of it.
It is quite far from Ochyra University to Faraday University, it’ll take eight hours to go there.
The three of them met in a cafe near the train station,
Rex is wearing his casual style clothes, a plain black t-shirt with a silver necklace decorating it, black chinos tightly hug his legs, and also his watch that he bought before.
The onlooking girls instantly fall in love with Rex’s masculine looks.
Although he always looks scary all the time, this time that scary look was covered by his handsome face and also his fashion.
The surrounding girls take a couple of glances towards Rex, especially when his good looks are backed with immense power behind them.
Rex approaches the girls who are already sitting at a table, they both look gorgeous in Rex’s eyes.
Adhara is sitting gracefully sipping her coffee while Rosie is waving her hands towards Rex.
Rosie is wearing a white crop top t-shirt with a black crop top baseball jacket as its outer layer, she wears light blue ripped jeans that tease the eyes with her silky smooth skin. She wears a white beanie on her head, there’s also a cookie between her mouth.
Rex maintains his stoic look although Rosie looks beautiful today, his eyes then glance at Adhara on Rosie’s side.
Adhara is the polar opposite of Rosie, she compliments the sexy but shy looks.
She wears an oversized grey sweater that falls down almost covering her knee, Rex can’t see what pants she’s wearing because it’s completely covered by the sweater exposing her long slender legs.
Rex gulped hardly, the saliva on his mouth suddenly went dry.
“Yo Rex!! You seem popular I see”, Rosie said teasingly although she glares at the surrounding girls while saying this.
Rex waves back before chuckle lightly, “Me? How about you two? Look at the guys drooling over you both”, he said while glancing at the passerby guys getting stunned after getting a sight of Adhara and Rosie.
Some of them even got stunned even though they’re holding their partner, rewarding them with a smack on the back of their head.
Hearing this, Rosie flicks her hair with her hand confidently, “Of course, a beautiful girl like me is used to this”
Rex’s stoic expression turns into a disgusted look,
If his face can talk, then it will probably say, ‘Where’s this overconfident gorilla comes from?’
Seeing Rex’s face, Rosie cried out and pinch Rex’s cheeks, “Why are you looking at me like that! Take that back! Huwaaa…”
While Rosie is wailing like a kid, Adhara approaches Rex, “You ready?”
Rex pushes Rosie off of him, “Yep, I got all of the things in my bag”
After that, Adhara and Rex walk side by side while joking with each other completely forgetting Rosie.
Rosie that is left behind was shocked, she looks at Rex with a disbelieving look.
She gritted her teeth in annoyance,
Wind Mana started to gather on her hand, this wind mana swirl on her hand covering her hand completely.
The Wind Mana in her hand takes the shape of a sharp and pointy object as if there’s an actual blade on her hand, it makes her hair flutters the same rhythm as the wind.
Rosie’s eyes flash, “Normal Spell, Wind Thrust!”
SWOOSH!!
She disappeared from her spot turning into a gust of wind!
The wind acts as her friend, it enhances her speed and sharpness as if her body itself becomes one with the wind.
Rex felt the mana disturbance in the surrounding, a smile blooms on his face.
Rosie arrives right behind Rex, she thrust her hand forward aiming at Rex not even caring if Rex might get hurt from it.
Before her hand can even hit Rex’s back,
Rex like a blur already turns to his back and caught Rosie’s attack, there is a smile plastered on his face while blocking Rosie’s attack.
“How is it?”, Rosie asks cheekily.
Hearing this, Rex grins, “Ho…you manage to enter mid-rank three almost reaching peak rank three”
Rosie smug proudly, “Don’t worry, I won’t become a burden in the tournament”
Rex nodded his head in understanding, his eyes glisten as he looks at Rosie’s stats.

‘Pretty nice, with this she probably can take care of her own in Faraday University’, Rex thought while nodding his head when suddenly,
Swoosh…
A gentle mana wave stroke him from his right,
Rex glance to his right and found Adhara emitting quite a powerful energy, “I want to show off too…”, she said as her energy kept rising.
Adhara’s red aura becomes more intense, it kept rising by the second until,
Swoosh!
A gentle shockwave of energy exploded from her body, it is quite intense making the onlookers glance towards them.
“Peak Rank Three! I thought you guys are slacking but here I am getting shocked”, Rex said in delight, although he will probably protect the two of them it is not bad having the ability to protect themselves.
He then looks at Adhara’s stats,

‘That’s good, she’s starting to get serious in training. It seems it’s not the wrong choice to make her one of my pack’, Rex thought in relief, he’s afraid that Adhara doesn’t have the will to avenge her father.
Then suddenly Rex notices Adhara’s race section, ‘I should probably makes her a full-fledged Werewolf right? I’ll do it later’
After showing off their power, the three of them takes their bag and head towards the train station.
They played with their phone waiting for the train when suddenly, “HOLD ON!!”, a woman voice shouted from afar.
Rex looks at the voice direction and frowns, ‘What is she doing here?’
