"WHICH ONE OF YOU IS REX?"
The students in class 1-C knitted their brows, some students can't take the attitude of the four groups of guys that came to their class causing a ruckus.
The class president, Aldo, stands up from his chair abruptly, "Who do you think you are?! Arrogantly coming to our class bringing trouble, you think the other students will just sit idly?"
Hearing this, one of the guys in the group that seems to be their leader scoffed, "I am Lucas Platchi's subordinates, You dare offend me?"
Aldo gritted his teeth after hearing Lucas Platchi's name, he threw his face away and sits back down.
"Ha! That's what I thought", the leader of the group said disdainfully.
Laura and Adhara glance at Rex who is scrunching his face uncontrollably, they both thought that Rex is regretting his decision in becoming Rosie's boyfriend. With that thought, Laura and Adhara smile pleasantly.
Their thoughts were absolutely right, Rex is regretting his decision.
'Sigh, Do I really need to fight these kids?', then suddenly he remembers something.
'System, Does fighting that group gives me Exp?', he asks.
The system replied plainly as usual.
Rex's mouth quirked up, 'It seems being the scapegoat of Rosie is a blessing in disguise'
He stands up, his move attracted the group's attention.
"I am Rex, Let's take this outside shall we?", Rex said confidently.
In the military, he always plays rough although he never fights with an awakened. He used to fight with an experienced fighter so he felt wronged fighting with these kids, He doesn't like to bully other people!
"Ho, How bold of you. Saving your face in front of the class? Very well then, Follow us", the group leader said.
Rex nodded his head and follow them.
They brought Rex into an abandoned corridor that is isolated, the place has nothing in it except for a couple of locked doors.
"Lucas wanted us to beat you up but he is a generous man, instead of getting beaten up you can just strip naked and apologize to him while groveling. How bout it?", the group leader said playfully followed by the other laughter.
'Wow even in the military, this kind of thing will never happen because we are focused on the same enemy. I can't believe kids these days', he shakes his head in contempt.
Looking at Rex's calm face, the group is infuriated.
"If you want it the hard way then so be it. You beat that guy up", the group leader said while pointing to the square-faced guy beside him.
"Gladly", the square-faced guy said with an evil smile.
His body glows bronze as he walks towards Rex, he's cracking his knuckle to look intimidating but on the contrary, Rex found it funny.
Rex look at square-faced guy stats and smiles,
Race: Human
Power: Rank 2 Awakened(Early) - Earth Elementalist
Mental: 3
Strength: 8
Agility: 6
Endurance: 4
Intelligence: 10
Looking at Rey's stat, he can't help but chuckle.
'In terms of power I should be around Late Rank 2 Awakened', he thought after calculating the rough number of a Late Rank 2 Awakened.
Rex then refocus on Rey again, 'His body emits bronze aura, it should increase his overall stats by a bit just like Laura did'
Just as Rex was thinking, Rey bolted from his spot and sent a punch to Rex.
Rex easily parried it and smack Rey on his head, he didn't take it seriously because of the difference in stats and experience. In front of Rex's eyes, his move is sluggish, and looks so much like an amateur in Noob Box.
"You Non-Awakened! Stay where you are!", Rey said with anger.
Hearing this Rex scoffed, "Why would I let myself get hit by the likes of you"
Rey is angry, he runs with all his might and musters all of his power to swing down with his hands.
While he was swinging down, Rex notices that a dull sword made of rocks started to form on his hand.
Rex brought his hand up to block it,
BAM!
The sword didn't even do anything to Rex, It just stopped mid-track by Rex easily.
Rey was speechless, "What the? How did a Non-Awakened block my attack?"
Rex looks at Rey in the eyes and said, "Your movement is sluggish which means you didn't even train in close-quarter combat at all, Let me give you a piece of advice. Keep this up and you will die first when facing a supernatural"
After saying that, Rex twists his body and sent a kick to Rey's chest.
BAM!
"Whack!", Rey screamed in pain feeling the air inside his lungs was forced out by the kick as he screech towards the group leader's feet.
The group leader was dumbfounded, He thought that this is an easy job given by Lucas but who would've known that this Non-Awakened trash can be this strong.
Rex smiles after reading the notifications given by the system, 'It seems beating people up can raise my level quickly, Let's take advantage of Rosie's pursuers', he thought while making a plan to harvest Exp.
Rex turns his body and looks at the three guys left, "Come on, I ain't got all day"
The group leader was infuriated by Rex, "You two, beat him hurry up!"
The other two guys with similar strength to Rey nodded their heads and dash towards Rex.
They both envelope their bodies with red and blue aura and rain blows to Rex who is easily dodging and parrying them.
For Rex who is an expert at a close-quarter fight that can even fight veteran soldiers, these kids' attack patterns are simply child's play.
Easy to predict, Easy to parry, Using no brain just swinging.
Rex quickly shoves his fist on both of their faces and knocks them out, Rex's strength is stronger than Laura who is an Early Rank Three Awakened so these kids can't take one of his punches.
The group leader steps back in fright, Just like that three of his subordinates fall.
Rex doesn't want to waste his time, He checks the group leader's power just in case,
Race: Human
Power: Rank Two Awakened(Mid) - Earth Elementalist
Mental: 9
Strength: 11
Agility: 9
Endurance: 9
Intelligence: 14
'Middle-Rank Two Awakened eh? Let's just end this' Rex thought after looking at Brock's stats, not even worried a little bit.
Rex turns into a blur as he appears in front of Brock and sent a punch,
Brock snapped from his daze, "Stone Skin!"
Brock's skin turns dark brown, Rex's punch landed on the group leader's stomach.
BANG!
Rex felt his hand hurting a bit, Brock's skin is pretty hard but his pained expression tells Rex that he felt the punch too.
Rex observed Brock and noticed that his head's skin is not brown but his natural skin,
Before Rex can engage once more, Brock moves first.
He dashes towards Rex, Rex brought his guard up waiting for Brock to make his move but suddenly Rex's right leg was gripped by rocks that make him unable to move it.
Brock arrived in front of Rex and sent a punch aiming Rex's face,
Rex's eyes flash and he grabs Brock's fist, The fist was stopped by Rex.
This shows the difference in their strength, Brock can't even push Rex back even a little bit.
If Brock's strength is on par with Rex, he might push Rex back which will result in breaking Rex's right leg.
But reality proves that he is not strong enough,
Rex held Brock's hand and his eyes flash with ferocity, Rex headbutted Brock right on his nose.
BAM!
Brock covers his nose in pain, his nose is broken by Rex's headbutt. he fell to the ground miserably with blood leaking from his nose.
Rex didn't sit idly and punch Brock on his face sending him to dreamland right away, Rex is trained to not show any mercy so his instincts make him knock Brock out.
After looking around, Rex smile with guilt, 'Did I go overboard?'
After hearing the notifications Rex smile in delight, 'It's all worth It'. Then he decided to check his stats to immediately attribute the stats to the mental stat.
Name: Rex Silverstar
Level: 6 (370/800)
Race: Half-Blood (Werewolf)
Full-Moon: 26 Days - Dark Moon
Berserk: 35%
Sanity: 77%
Mental: 14
Strength: 19 (+3)
Agility: 12
Endurance: 11
Intelligence: 0
Attributable Stats: 0
After attributing his stats, he looks at the four unconscious guys and decided to leave them be.
'This university is developing awakened to help the frontline, a fight between students is probably a normal occurrence, Rex thought while walking back to his class.
While walking, Rex sigh, 'These kids, even though they are greenhorns and fight like amateurs they can pose a threat to me because of their elemental power. I envy them for being an Awakened'
Arriving at class, Rex walks back to his seat leisurely under the student's gazes and Mr. Joseph.
"Where are you from? You know that class already started 5 minutes ago", He said with a warning tone like a proper lecturer.
Rex smiles and replies, "I just got back from the toilet, my stomach hurts. I won't do it again", he said lying his way out.
Mr. Joseph scoffs and lets Rex go after reminding him to not repeat this again.
Rex sits on his usual seat and found that Adhara is sitting beside him,
Adhara looks at him curiously and asked, "Did you beat them up?", she said while knitting her eyes in suspicion.
"Didn't you hear what I just said? My tummy hurts", Rex replied lazily.
"You definitely beat them up", she nods her head agreeing with herself.
Rex felt wronged when Adhara didn't believe his lie, "I just talk to them okay?", he said coming out with another lie.
Adhara didn't believe him for one second and said once again, "Yup you beat them alright"
Rex decided to ignore Adhara when suddenly notifications appeared in front of him,
Rex was surprised, Now that he thinks about it the quest was completed now rather than yesterday when he talks with Rosie.
'That annoying girl, so you just made up your mind after knowing I beat those guys earlier', Rex thought while shaking his head thinking about Rosie's annoying behavior.
