SWOOSH!
The dark fiery lion vanishes as Kevin snapped his fingers.
He leads the other Faraday University representatives in an arrogant manner, the way he walks is brimming with confidence as if he’s the king of the place.
The Faraday University waves to the crowd like they already won, they didn’t put Ochyra University in their eyes.
They all wear normal clothes but then suddenly,
Woosh!!
Their clothes burn with fire as it turns into a bright red uniform, it is definitely an eye-catching transformation that makes the crowd goes wild.
Red uniform with leather red pants wrapped on their body, they wear black gloves and shoes that match their belt.
“LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, I PRESENT YOU OUR HOST!! FARADAY UNIVERSITY!!”, the announcer shouted excitedly.
The audience gets up from their seats frantically as Kevin waves at them, all cameras got directed to Kevin.
‘He is quite popular I must say’, Rex thought.
Kevin Luc is a well-built guy with red blazing hair the exact same as Luke, his fiery red eyes match his uniform with two silver earrings on his right ear. He’s not as tall as Rex in fact much shorter than Rex but his confidence is off the chart based on how he walks, and he also has human fangs peeking every time he opened his mouth.
He then glances at his shoulder arrogantly glancing at Rex, a mocking smile appear on his face after he looks at Rex.
“Faraday University is lead by the Blazing Lion, KEVIN LUC!!”, he said while he points at Kevin.
After the crowd quiets down, Faraday University’s representative lined up in front of Ochyra University.
The eight of the Faraday University look overly confident with their smiles, they are all looking at Ochyra’s university students with a lowly gaze as if they’re looking down on them.
Some of the people caught Rex’s attention, he saw Edward and the guy with the number four pin on his chest.
Edward was all smiles as he looks at Rex, he was making dumb faces at him making Rex chuckles a bit.
Rosie and Adhara saw this and they already guessed that is Rex’s friend that he said yesterday.
The announcer then continues, “Rex Silverstar and Kevin Luc please steps forward”
Hearing this, Rex and Kevin step forward facing each other.
The announcer went to the middle of them and asks Kevin, “Kevin, what do you think about the match against the newborn Ochyra University tomorrow?”
“Of course we will win like we always do, they’re nothing but amateur in my eyes”, Kevin said arrogantly, he even locks eye contact with Rex while saying this.
The announcer chuckles, “That’s bold of you Kevin, what is your response about that statement Rex?”
Hearing this, Rex who towers over Kevin glance at him up and down.
Rex chuckles a little before he said mockingly, “Well I must say, It’s quite hard to take someone LOWER than me seriously”
Hearing Rex mock Kevin viciously, the crowd burst into excitement.
Because of Rex’s confidence in saying that, some people from the audience went to his side, while most of them booed Rex but Rex definitely takes the audience’s attention.
Kevin’s face darkened, he was shocked at how bold Rex in his home territory.
Dark Fire started to envelop Kevin’s body threatening to burn his surrounding, his aura is leaking and everyone can tell that Rex’s words hit him hard.
BOOM!!
His aura exploded as he raises his gaze crazily meeting Rex’s eyes,
It makes the announcer stunned for a bit, he wasn’t expecting Kevin who is always confident got angry all of a sudden.
Then suddenly,
BLITZ!!
Rex also replied by bursting the lightning mana around him, it is not as strong as Kevin because of the miles difference in rank but it is still a Peak Great Element just like Kevin’s Dark Fire.
It makes the crowd shocked to see such bizarre elements from students like Rex.
In their eyes, Kevin’s Dark Fire is considered amazing for a student to have because there’s only a handful of students that has Peak Great Element in their fourth year lest a first-year like Kevin.
So seeing Rex have the same rank element as Kevin surprised them so much.
Kevin widened his eyes in surprise, he was surprised by Rex’s element but he quickly returns to his normal expression.
“Bring it on little guy”, Rex said making the arena even more intense.
Their elements are clashing against each other, it creates a subtle element spark that makes the wind flutter.
The audience held their breaths as they also felt the tension, it makes them suffocated.
Just as the tension begins to rise, the announcer intervenes, “Let’s hold our excitement for tomorrow shall we?”, he said while tapping bot Rex and Kevin’s shoulder lightly.
Kevin was annoyed but then he felt someone watching him from the third floor so he decided to stop.
“Just wait for tomorrow, I will teach you our differences”, Kevin said as he turns his head away unwillingly.
After Rex and Kevin separated, the announcer continues, “HOW EXCITING!! I can’t wait for tomorrow, it will be epic!!”, he said, luring the audience’s attention back to him.
“Let me explain the tournament rundown. The first round is a test for your mana control, it is self-explanatory so I don’t have to explain much”, the announcer joked.
“The second round however is a little bit interesting”, he said before two huge holograms appeared above the arena.
“Each team will fight a Supernatural! The first Supernatural is a peak rank four Mummy!”, the announcer pointed at the hologram on the left.
The hologram then shows the Mummy that is attacking a group of Awakened using sand and insects.
Its body is rotting with flies hovering around it, It is very agile with bandages wrapping all over its body from head to toe and a metallic scimitar that is glowing with a green hue on its hand.
Looking at this, Rex was in thought, ‘Mummy? I only know they’re able to manipulate sand’
<mummy></mummy>
A high-ranking undead with human-like intelligence relies on magic with the purpose of guarding a place, is resistant to bladed, poison, and corrosive attacks. Mummy can manipulate sand, insects, and are practically an immortal Supernatural. They are very weak against fire and water elements but their ability to turn into sand makes them very agile.
Reading this, Rex was shocked.
‘The system knows so much about these things? I should’ve known’, Rex thought helplessly, it will be a big help if the system can tell every Supernatural in detail.
Then the right hologram flickers revealing the next Supernatural, it is a Manticore!
“The other Supernatural surprisingly is a deadly Manticore!! This Supernatural is a nightmare for us Awakened!”, the announcer said.
Seeing this, the student’s faces was surprised when they see the manticore appear.
It was a devastating Supernatural that killed many people during the emergence of Supernatural, it brings terror to look at. Even the audience gasp in surprise.
Rex also knows about this Manticore, it is truly a dominant Supernatural.
‘System, tell me about Manticores’, Rex thought.
<manticore></manticore>
A high-ranking beast with low intelligence that relies on brute strength, fast attacks, fire breath, and wind pressure. They have pretty dense skin that renders bladed strikes useless, their body is resistant to fire, their tail is resistant to lightning, and their wings are resistant to wind elements, they also have regenerative abilities. They are mainly killed using brute strength, but their biggest weakness lies in an orb located on their tail, crush it the manticore will lose its tail and wings making them vulnerable to wind and earth elements.
After showing the Supernatural, the announcer then said, “Faraday University will get the privilege to choose the first pick for their home advantage, Kevin please pick your Supernatural”
Seeing this, Kevin smirk, “I choose the mummy”, he declared loudly.
“Great choice from Kevin! Ochyra University will be having a hard time fighting a Manticore that has multiple resistance”, the hologram then disappears.
The other Ochyra University frowns, one of them approaches Rex and said, “What will we do? Manticore is obviously a harder Supernatural for us”
“Yeah, we might not be able to beat the manticore”
“This tournament is rigid, how come they got the first choice instead of us”
Hearing the other rambling, Rex intervenes, “Manticore is better for us, just trust me on this one. They will be surprised”
The other hesitated for a while but eventually nodded their heads, Rex is an undisputable leader of them so they must at least work together against another university.
Although Gregg on the side is not having it, he’s still salty about Rex.
Rex notices Gregg’s aggression but he ignored it, Gregg is no longer an opponent he should be wary of.
Kevin glance at Rex and sent a mocking smile, he thinks he put Rex in a spot.
‘The system explains both Supernatural in detail. Although Manticore has much resistance, its power will drop dramatically if its tail got cut off. Mummy, on the other hand, relies on magic’, he smiles pitifully towards Kevin.
‘The system didn’t tell their magic so I assume it will be troublesome unlike Manticore who relies on brute strength’, Rex thought.
Kevin thought that by giving them the Manticore they will struggle especially with so much elemental resistance, but he doesn’t know Rex is a Werewolf with high physical abilities.
After choosing the Supernatural for round two, the announcer declared, “For the third round, it will be a duel against two universities. It will be random but because of the tension between Rex and Kevin, they will fight at the end of the tournament”
The audience cheered after getting the huge news, they really want to see Rex and Kevin battle head-on.
After explaining the tournament, the announcer tells each side to go back and gather here tomorrow before the opening ended.
It is quite thrilling for the audience to see Rex’s bold move, Rex becomes famous because of it.
In the backroom, Tony and Hera gave the students another briefing.
“Okay, you guys heard them. The rest of the day, we will go to the training ground to at least let you guys know each other”, Tony said while shaking his head.
Hera then steps forward, “We are not prepared for this so I hope you guys can prepare as best as you can during this last final day”
After they got their briefings, they went out and go to the training ground.
The crowd of the audience is still crowding the place so they need to go out from the other way, it will be a ruckus if they meet the audience.
While they’re walking, they suddenly met Faraday’s representatives.
Kevin approach Rex slowly, he seems to still want to mess with Rex even after the opening is finished.
He arrived in front of Rex, but his eyes landed on Rosie beside him.
“I can’t believe you’re this loser’s girlfriend, why don’t you be mine and leave this loser”, he said to Rosie.
Rosie was quite annoyed, “Mind your own business, don’t be sorry tomorrow when you lose”
Kevin chuckles a bit, “Quite feisty but cute, say…”, he then glances at Rex smugly, “Why don’t we bet on your girl right here, I’ll bet my girl over here, I’ll even use anything to bet against you in exchange for her”, he said while bringing a girl beside him.
She was quite angry by Kevin’s remarks but she held it in.
Kevin wanted to make Rex lose his cool, he lost the mental war in the arena so he needed to win this one.
Instead of answering Kevin, Rex walks past him and said, “I must say, the training ground here is quite good”
Hearing this, Kevin was aghast, “Aren’t you going to answer my question?”
Rex stopped in his track, he then smirks, “I heard you’re the second child of Luc Family”, he keeps ignoring Kevin’s remarks.
“So? What did that have to do with our bet?”, Kevin said feeling annoyed.
“Okay, let’s bet then. I’ll give you Rosie if I lose to you”, Rex said with a slight grin on his face.
Rosie was shocked, she was not expecting Rex to agree with the bet, “Rex! How could you think of me as an object!”, she shouted in anger.
She felt disappointed and hurt by Rex’s words.
Rex raises his hand signaling Rosie to stay out of this.
Looking at this, Kevin becomes even more daring, “So? What should I give if I lose? I can bet anything I have”
“That’s an interesting question”, Rex said while pretending to think.
He approaches Kevin, he stopped just beside Kevin’s side and whispers slowly, “If you lose, I’ll screw your sister. How about it?”
