'Also my sister was also there and was extremely talented, so I doubt that with the last tournament being the Arcana Academy at the bottom. With her pride she wouldn't want that to happen and...'(Rex)
Looking at the three people beside him.
'I and these three are also gonna enroll there.'(Rex)
Rex has a big confidence on himself and the people beside him. The twins comes from a special race and very strong at that, they are still hiding something from him but it doesn't matter who has no secret right?
Even he, has one. Rex also cannot say anything to Argus, he might not be talkative this time but it's more like Argus has still did not completely opened himself up to the twins.
Rex has more trust on Argus than himself. He did not even doubt Argus when he decide to continue walking the path of a Close Combat Summoner.
"Why are we worrying about it? It still about 2 weeks, not too long and not too short of a time. Instead you and Argus should worry about your realm especially Argus since you haven't even received your quest."(Kelvin)
"Yes, you can just accept it now. Maybe we can be of some help or something. Although pretty much it's a solo quest."(Astelle)
"I would accept the quest tomorrow morning since I wouldn't like to think about it before I sleep."(Argus)
"Do not worry, I am pretty confident that I will reach it faster than him."(Rex)
Rex smirk at Argus which the latter ignored. After talking for a while everyone rested. Rex did not even try to enter Argus room and just prepare the sofa that he will be sleeping at. He even brought his own pillow and blanket.
***
The next day, Argus after washing up. Opened his Status Window to now accept the quest.
[Do you want to receive your «Realm Advancement Quest»?]
[Yes/No]
[Do you want to receive Astrea's «Realm Advancement Quest»?]

"Are you kidding me?! Astrea's Quest was barely okay but why is mine this hard?"(Argus)
Realm Advancement Quest is a quest that was given to any Awakener when they reach the max level of their current realm. Every Awakener would be force to finish the requirements for them to reach the next realm.
In Astrea's case, her quest was to bath in Solar and Lunar light can be easily understood. Astrea would store some solar or lunar energy in her body during her bathing on these heavenly bodies. As for the Star Crystals, it is a very rare materials just by its attribute alone and Astrea needs a thousands of them.
Then his Quest was also made him annoyed. The most hardest type of quest for a beginner realm was clearing dungeon. The lowest level dungeon was consist of 5 floors. It can be cleared by minimum by a Team of Beginner Awakeners that reach level 25 and all of them must be Special Awakeners and very skilled at that. That must mean at least 12 members.
The level of beast inside was only about Level 26-30 but the hard part was the realm suppression of the beast. The dungeon is also wild although it's a low level so it would take too much time.
Argus needs to clear a dungeon so that's mean, he needed to 100% kill all the beast inside. That is not a problem to him since he and Astrea can easily do it but the requirements said that he needs to clear 10 of those. An average number of monster on each F Rank Dungeon dungeon is about a Beast Legion level means about 500-1000 beast. Plus the Boss of the dungeon is a Special Beast or even Unique Beast.
Argus can decline the quest and ask the system to lower the quest difficulty. In return, the quest reward he will get will also decrease. Forming a core is the first most important realm of any being. Depending on what core or orb everyone form will result on their strength on their whole journey to the peak.
Argus did not know if Astrea and him can beat a beast, much less kill a Special Beast with their current power. As calm as Argus, it was still be big shocked that he received this ridiculous quest. And there is even a time limit on his quest. A minimum time to clear a 5 floor dungeon would be a 7-9 hours.
From what he knows, Realm Quest should not have any time limit but he does. He did not know the reason why. However, Argus will still need to rest and sleep so that he can maintain his peak power.
"Ah... I shouldn't have accepted both our quest at the same time. F***, why is this happening?!"(Argus)
Argus frustation was heard by Astelle, even Rex who was sleeping on the sofa was awaken by his sudden outburst.
"What happened? Is there a problem Argus?"(Astelle)
"Wha-wh-what's the noise?! I'm sleeping here!"(Rex)
Rex got up and prepared a fighting stance. When he realize that there is no enemy he relax his posture then he saw Argus's frustrated expression.
"Why are you making that face early in the morning?"(Rex)
Argus did not reply to him, he click something in his System and a blue panel appeared on Astelle and Rex front. Argus shared his quest info to the two. He keep Astrea's existence secret for a while.
"What?"(Astelle)
"What the f*** is this?!!"(Rex)
Astelle and Rex was shocked. Rex shouted loudly, Kelvin who was sleeping upstairs heard the commotion and was woken up. Without even a second he sprinted on the living room.
"What's happening?!"(Kelvin)
Argus just willed his mind and a panel appeared on Kelvin's face. Reading this Kelvin's reaction was not that different from both of them but he did not shout like Rex. It had taken all of them for a while to calm down.
"F***, I thought my quest of collecting other things and clearing 3 dungeons was already brutal enough."(Rex)
"We two also needs to clear 3 dungeons and collect some other stuff."(Astelle)
"Yeah, from what I know clearing 1 dungeon is quest given for a genius, dungeon for a super genius, and 3 dungeons for monster class genius but this..."(Kelvin)
The three looks at Argus who has now back to himself. He lost his composure a while ago since he was really shocked on the mission he received but after calming down, he realized that he have still a chance to complete it.
"Looks like you have figure it out. Do you have a plan?"(Rex)
"More or less."(Argus)
"Is there anything we can help?"(Astelle)
"Do not be shy to tell us."(Kelvin)
"Hmm... I need an info about the location of these dungeons. If possible a not discovered one or a non-owned dungeon."(Argus)
"That's... We have less connection here since we just came. I'm afraid we can't help in that regard."(Kelvin)
"It's okay, I understand it you just opened your borders after all."(Argus)
Argus and the twins think for other solutions.
"Ah... That I cannot help but 'she' can easily help."(Rex)
Rex said in a not so confident voice. Argus also opened his eyes when he realized who the person Rex was talking about.
"Who's she?"(Astelle)
"My older sister, Alicia Obscurite... We, Obscurite Clan was a clan known for its large Intelligent Network on the human race. And my sister is the current temporary heir of our family. The real heir would be me but I would gladly gave it to her if she ask me too but I doubt she would want that. My sister was very talented after all..."(Rex)
'And scary'(Rex)
Rex look at Argus.
'My sister will probably...'(Rex)
"I see, so why don't you contact her?"(Kelvin)
"This... It's his problem so he should contact her."(Rex)
"I get it. Excuse me then."(Argus)
"Eh... But I want to hear what to hear what you two are gonna talk about. Isn't it the same for you two?"(Rex)
Rex teasingly said while looking at Astelle. Kelvin already knows what Rex was thinking and also joined him.
"That's right I also want to hear it. What about you sister? Do you want to hear 'their' conversation right?"(Kelvin)
Argus look at the two with an odd expression and shook his head.
'This too idiots.'(Argus)
Argus knows what the two was doing. He is not as dense as his past self. He knows that Astelle has a crush on him but it looks like she was not aware of it or just ignoring it altogether. Argus also knows the reason why she has this feeling on him and it was his own fault.
'Goodluck to you idiots.'(Argus)
Argus ignored them and entered his room. Not long after a wailing sound can be heard outside by him and their neighbors. Argus just shook his head.
'Rex was already troublesome but another has come. Sigh... I hope this would be the last.'(Argus)
