"I'm not done yet", Rex said while looking in Lucas's direction.
Adhara follows Rex's eyes and saw Lucas crawling on the ground bloodied all over.
Lucas is crawling trying to save his life! He saw how Rex killed a Rank Three Supernatural and comes out unscathed against the explosion.
'I must be dreaming, There's no way a non-awakened is that strong!', he thoughts while crawling away from the scene.
Tap!
Tap!
Tap!
Just as he was crawling, he heard footsteps not far away from him.
He got goosebumps just by hearing the footsteps, an ominous feeling dreaded over him from the back.
Lucas gritted his teeth and force his body to crawl faster but suddenly a foot stomp on his back making him unable to crawl further.
The foot stomp started to get heavier, "Akhhk!!", Lucas splurts another round of blood. He can feel his ribs is breaking from the pressure.
"FORGIVE ME! HAVE MERCY!! MERCY!!", he pleaded pathetically.
The foot stops giving pressure, Rex walks to Lucas's front and squat in front of him.
Lucas struggles to look up to meet Rex's eyes, Rex looks down on him while smirking devilishly.
"Fine I'll forgive you, Let me help you sit down. Let's just forget about the past", Rex said.
Lucas was smiling after getting a hint of hope, he replies, "Yes, In the name of Lucas Platchi, I will forget about the past quarrel between you and me"
Rex smiles and helps Lucas sit down,
The body of an Awakened is way stronger than a normal human, Lucas who has multiple injuries that can kill a normal human may be able to survive.
While he was helping Lucas sits down, suddenly Rex staggered on his feet and falls unconscious just in front of Lucas.
Lucas's eyes widened in shock, his shocked expression turns instantly into a brutal smile.
He takes out a knife from his belt, "HAHAHA, You piece of shit, I will definitely kill you!", Lucas brings his knife upwards and stabs down intending to finish Rex off.
Then suddenly, Rex opens his eyes and caught the knife. His expression is still smiling while he caught Lucas's knife.
He stands up while maintaining eye contact with Lucas,
Lucas's face drains from color, a bead of sweats started to drop from his forehead under Rex's gaze.
Rex once again squats in front of Lucas and whispers in his ears, "It seems Lucas Platchi, for you, the past is not the past", he said with a smile that turns brutal in the next second.
Rex gripped Lucas's neck and held him in mid-air,
"Me *Akh* rcy, Please *Akh* One more chance", Lucas said while struggling to breathe.
Without changing his expression, Rex snapped Lucas's neck with a twist of his hand.
CRACK!!
Lucas's struggle instantly stopped as Rex threw him away,
Adhara saw the scene and can't help to gulp, Rex is simply heartless at times.
Adhara saw at the top right of the barracks and saw a window, the moonlight shone down right on Rex decorating his already violent bearing.
'My suspicion is growing stronger, I still believe that Rex is not human. His temperament always changes during the night', she thought while looking at Rex's back.
After killing Lucas, he saw a row of notifications appear in front of him that makes his mouth quirked up.
Rows upon Rows of notifications appear in front of Rex that makes his eyes dizzy, he read each notification but he was stunt when he saw the last notification.
'An Evolution? System what do you mean of evolution?', just as Rex asked the system about it.
Instead of giving an answer the system replied,
Just as he read the system's answer, Rex started to feel dizzy, his head is starting to spin and his vision becomes hazy.
Rex held his head in pain, his head is hurting as if there's a needle stabbing his head from all directions.
Soon after, his body jolted when the bones inside his body started to move uncontrollably.
"AKHH!", Rex grunted in pain, he gritted his teeth to hold the pain in but the pain is too much.
Rex falls to on his knees, his head is hurting, his body is hurting, everything about him is hurting. Not long after, the pain started to rise to an unbearable level as he passes out cold.
While Rex is evolving, Adhara was watching him from the sides.
Her eyes give off all sorts of emotions, worry, realization, doubt, scared, everything.
Adhara is in a dilemma, her head is telling her to not approach Rex but her heart says otherwise. She checks on Rosie first making sure she's okay before looking at Rex once more.
For the first time in her life, Adhara let her heart take over and approach Rex.
During his unconscious state, Rex's face still frowns in pain there is no peace even in his state.
Adhara felt pity towards Rex, she then held Rex's head up and put him on her lap while rubbing his head trying to help Rex ease the pain.
While Adhara is rubbing Rex's head, Rex's bones are still making a cracking sound which Adhara ignores.
The barrack is big, Rex is located on the south-most part of the barrack which is devoid of people.
Although the barrack is big, this scene is not gone by without any witness.
On the corner of another T-Junction, Laura and Tom saw everything that happened from the beginning to the end.
Laura's eyes were filled with sadness, doubt, and curiosity while Tom's eyes burn with anger, determination, and hatred.
'Rex, What happened to you really', Laura thought while biting her lips before leaving the scene.
Thirty minutes passed, Adhara is still waiting for Rex to wakes up.
The cracking sound is already gone so Adhara expects Rex to wake up anytime soon,
Just as she was waiting for Rex to wake up,
"Woohooo, we got the fourth position because of our harvest before!"
"Yeah, we got lucky to find a group of injured students. we got almost a hundred points from them"
"HAHAHA, yeah we got lucky! But wouldn't it be nice to get lucky again?"
"Don't worry we will probably meet another injured group"
The chatter of a group of students was heard, their sound is getting closer to Rex's location.
After ten seconds or so, a group of students that consist of three guys and two girls appeared near Rex.
The girl who seems like the leader notices Adhara and the big corpse of Skeletal Dragon in surprise, the surprise turns into a burst of loud laughter.
"HAHAHAHA, Oh my god! I can't believe we're this lucky", she said to her group.
The students in her group also laugh after seeing Rex's group state, two unconscious, and one injured person seems like an easy target for anyone.
One of the guys approach Adhara and said, "Hey you, Just give us your points", just as he said that the guy's words choked when he notice Rosie.
"Eeek!! Rosie!", the guy exclaimed in surprise.
The leader of the group also notices Rosie and frowns, because of that she also guesses the unconscious guy is probably Rex who is the center of hatred for male students.
She feels her throat gone dry, she knows that Rex defeated Laura from class 1-C who is a powerful Awakened that is way above their league.
She clears her throat and said, "You there, although you are from class 1-C, you will not win against us so just give us your points", she said demandingly.
Hearing this, Adhara shakes her head in pity, "If I were you, I will just go back and pretend that this never happens", she said after feeling Rex's aura getting stronger.
The leader of the group felt insulted, she then steps forward with a red aura enveloping her and said, "Don't get cocky in your state, Although you are stronger there are five of us!"
Adhara sigh helplessly, "Remember, I warned you", she said before she stops rubbing Rex's head.
Just as the leader wanted to rebut, she feels a devastating aura lock onto her, her mouth stops abruptly unable to let out the words she wanted to say.
In the blink of an eye, Rex suddenly appeared in front of her with his hand around her neck.
She didn't even realize Rex's appearance before Rex disappeared again followed by four screams, from her back.
She was scared stiff, Rex is like a blur of shadow, his movements are way out of their leagues.
The leader turns to her back slowly, the scene on her back makes her legs feel like jelly.
Behind her, four of her comrade is already on the ground unconscious.
In the middle of all of them was Rex who is looking at the leader sharply, he approached the leader leisurely.
Every step that he takes makes the leader want to just run away but she knows that running is impossible.
Rex stops in front of her, Rex's body is towering in front of her as he whispers into her ears, "You should've listened, I'm going to punch you now. Make sure you remember this pain and be more humble when you meet me in the future"
The leader stands blankly hearing Rex's words that seep into her ear, regret starting to fill her heart.
Rex puts his left hand on the leader's right shoulder, then in a flash, his fists planted on the leader's abdomen.
BAAMM!!
"Huakk!!", the leader spat a mouthful of blood.
Her body flung like a jet crashing to the wall making a really big crack before stopping, the advice that Rex gives that moment rang on her head before her consciousness slowly disappears.
