Chapter 213 Rex's Dilemma
Chapter 213 Rex's Dilemma
The next day came,
Rex wakes up on his bed before he reaches out for his phone.
He will be training again with Chandler today,
From the session they did these days, Chandler refuses to tell Rex how to advance to the sixth rank before he masters the technique he gave.
It irritates Rex as he tried to master the technique,
But the technique is not that easy to master, he's still stagnant in his training.
Upon seeing his phone, Rex got a bunch of messages from the news application he had about the current demonic cities and the war.
The war in Vofpool Plain has been won by the humans,
Another war in White Savanna also has been won by the humans, and this makes UWO who is in a predicament rejoice.
With the news being highlighted in all media, the riot calmed down a little.
The Supernatural the humans fought in Vofpool Plain and White Savanna consists of many races, but they are led by Dragonman, Vampires, and Demons.
In the news Rex read, there's a video showing the battlefield with piles of Supernatural carcasses.
This news is great news for the people, it makes the resident of Ratmawati City calm down a little despite the demonic cities that worries them.
Rex scrolls down the notifications to find other interesting news,
He didn't find any more interesting news aside from usual crimes and other filler.
The demonic cities are still a hot topic because it is still not handled by the UWO until this day, but the news is probably a follow-up from the recent update of the situation.
So Rex skipped it,
With nothing interesting, Rex went to take a shower because the training with Chandler is starting in about 20 minutes.
Chandler gets grumpy easily when he's late, and Rex is not in the mood for hearing that.
After taking a shower, Rex got out of his room and notice that the place is empty aside from the maids and butler.
He frowns before he asks the butler, "Where did everybody go?"
"Adhara and Kyran went out a while ago, Do you want me to find them?", the Butler asks back.
Hearing this, Rex shakes his head intending to leave.
But just before he left, Rosie suddenly called out to him, "Rex!"
Rex turns to his back and saw Rosie just got ready for her class too, she will be put in a regular class because she's not as strong as Rex and Adhara.
"Can you accompany me to the classroom?", She asks pleadingly.
Rex then looks at her for a brief moment before he turns back to leave, "No, I also have class and I will be late if I accompany you there"
Bam!
The door opened and closes as Rex leaves,
Rosie was left there all alone, she as a troubled look as she bit her lips.
"I don't know how you know Rex, but I suggest you get stronger so you can keep up with Sir Rex and Miss Adhara", the butler suddenly said from the side.
This makes Rosie even more troubled before she too left the room.
Hours passed as the day is already afternoon,
Rex is sitting inside the training room with heavy breaths, Chandler just left the room after instructing Rex for a bit.
From what Chandler instructed, Rex is too focused on the destructive force.
Because of that, this technique will be hard because Rex barely knows how to control his element or even his element's nature.
Although Rex hates this training, he knows he needs to do this to reach the sixth rank.
He's never been a lazy guy all his life,
Rex is in the military before he got the system, and thus he's used to training hard to meet the military's regiment.
But this time is different, he won' reject help from the system.
'I don't have time for this, System is there an item that will speed up this process?', Rex asks.
<Do the user want to buy Learning Pill for 1,000 Gold?>
Reading this, Rex then opens the Learning Pill description.
<Learning Pill>
A pill that is equivalent to a fifth rank elixir that can be used to enhance the user's focus, the pill will allow the user to learn anything at triple or even higher times than normal for two hours straight.
This makes Rex instantly think yes, but he still felt a slight pang in his heart.
For one Learning Pill that will last two hours, it costs 1,000 Gold or equivalent to 100 grand which is a lot for even him.
But this can increase his learning process, so it's worth the cost.
After buying the pill, Rex then summons the pill from his inventory before a blue pill appeared.
The pill emits a slight blue aura that Rex never felt before, it's an aura that is completely foreign to him.
He then looks at the pill curiously before he gulped it in one go, he didn't need to use any water because of the training he got in the military.
It's necessary for any military personnel to be able to drink a pill without water.
Only a handful of healer Awakened is available in the war, and all of them will not go directly to the battlefield so regular medicine will have to do.
Rex thought that it was unnecessary at first, but it comes in handy at times like this.
Gulp!
The pill went down to his stomach as it instantly dissolves, It turns into blue energy that seeped into Rex's internal organs.
After traveling through the internal organ, the blue energy then went to Rex's brain.
The blue energy refreshes his brain, and upon touching the brain,
Rex suddenly widened his eyes as his mind suddenly becomes clearer, his eyes glows slightly blue as his mood and even his mind become eager to learn.
The pill is so effective that even Rex's fingers started to tremble.
It felt like a drug at first, but this drug makes him desperate to train rather than make him drunk.
He then instantly went into beast mode as he stands up and started practicing.
Thirty minutes passed and Rex felt the difference in his training,
'This pill is broken!', Rex thought in surprise.
He already did about 10 rounds of conjuring spells from thin air, and he can feel that he's getting better at it.
Back when he didn't use the pill, he need to figure out what he's lacking on his own.
Only Chandler can give meaningful advice that helps him a little, but this Learning Pill is just like an expert tutor itself.
Although he is still stuck where he's at,
With the assistance of the pill, Rex notices that he can somehow feel something the longer he trains while in the pill's effect.
It's like his feeling is telling him what to do,
Rex follows his instincts as he gathers the lightning mana turning it ball-shaped.
Right about ten meters away from him, a really small blue ball can be seen materializing as it started to spark with electricity.
After doing that,
Rex then imagine that the lightning strike that he was about to make turns dragon-shaped.
His eyes then glow with a blue hue as he started to conjure it,
Spark!
The lightning mana becomes concentrated around the ball-shaped core that he already made, it started to take shape, and with a wave of his hand,
BLITZ!!
SWOOSH!
Rex looks at the dragon-shaped lightning strike that he just create in surprise.
It fires to the front swiftly faster than the lightning strike he makes before,
Rex is unable to dwell in his surprise for long as he tries to control the dragon-shaped lightning strike to he bends its trajectory.
'It's heavy!', Rex thought while fully concentrating to control the lightning strike he just made.
The dragon-shaped lightning strike bends its direction a bit before suddenly,
BOOM!
It hits the wall on Rex's side creating a loud booming sound, but the wall is not destroyed because of the rune that protects it.
The electricity sizzle along the barrier before it finally vanished.
Rex recovers in surprise,
He looks at where the dragon-shaped lightning strike exploded before he strikes his fist on the air, "Yes!!", he shouted ecstatically.
Although he's still far from mastering it, he's making progress at least.
With that, Rex kept on training for the rest of the blue pill period until the effect finally disappear.
Two hours passed,
Rex is leaning on the wall while looking at the message he got from the Green Messenger,
His body is already covered in sweat, and there is a couple of burnt mark on the ground because of his training.
The content of the message is read by Rex again, but he's still undecided whether to accept the mission or not.
He's tempted to accept the mission because it will definitely benefit his growth.
During his time in the university, his exp only rises for a little bit coming from the meditation he did in the night.
In other words, he's not progressing rapidly by staying in the university.
But if he goes to the demonic cities to do the SCO's task, he will definitely get a huge amount of Exp from killing the low-ranked demons in there.
And even possibly, kill a high-rank demon.
Aside from that, Rex also wanted to train his pack's chemistry by fighting together with Adhara and Kyran.
They can start doing that by going out of Ratmawati City to find Delta, but he knew he can't do that with the predicament he has with the Atkins that is still cloudy.
So Rex is in a dilemma in choosing which route is the best.
'It's probably best to train with Adhara and Kyran, they will be rusty if I let them in the university for too long', Rex thought as he nodded his head.
'The Atkins probably will not attack with the second spellbook being legit'
After assuring himself that this route is the best, Rex left the training room wanting to find Adhara and Kyran.
But just as he walks along the university's hall,
RING!
His phone rang suddenly,
Rex takes his phone from his pocket and saw Edward's name on the screen, "Edward? What's wrong?", he asks confusedly.
Edward rarely calls him aside from important matters,
"Come to your room ASAP!", Edward shouted.
Hearing his urgent tone, Rex immediately run towards his room to see what happened.
BAM!
Rex opens the entrance door roughly before he asks Clarice who is waiting on the side, "What happened? Where is Edward?"
"They're inside your room sir", Clarice replied.
Rex then walks hurriedly towards his room,
Upon getting closer to his room, Rex can hear a quarrel coming from inside his room and he knows that it is Edward and Adhara.
He then enters the room and saw Adhara packing her stuff,
"Adhara you have to talk to Rex first, it's suicide if you go there alone!", Edward shouted.
Adhara who is packing her stuff stubbornly replied, "I don't care if I die! That's my father!"
Edward then looks to the side and saw Rex looking at both of them, he then said hurriedly, "Rex! Stop Adhara now! It's suicide!!"
"You know how many Supernatural there! she will die!", he added.
Hearing this, Rex raise his hands and said slowly, "Calm down, What is happening here?", Rex asks confusedly.
He saw Adhara didn't stop before he said, "Adhara, Stop and tell me what's happening? Why are you being like this?"
Adhara's body stopped after hearing Rex's voice,
His authoritative tone emits an overbearing aura that makes Adhara's body stiff.
Seeing that Adhara didn't want to explain, Rex lays his eyes on Edward signaling for him to tell Rex what happened.
"It's the demonic cities, they're spreading fast to neighboring city", Edward said with a sigh.
He then continues, "The news that just got released today said that the UWO already dispatched the guilds to help the surrounding city, but the demons kept on coming which exhaust the guilds until finally, the demons manage to break through as the guilds retreat"
Hearing this, Rex still frowns as he still not understand what did it have to do with Adhara.
Edward then continues, "There is a level three city beside Benrith City, Beah City, and that is where Adhara's father lives..."
Upon realizing it, Rex looks at Adhara in shock.
That explains why Adhara is so desperate to go there despite the danger, she didn't even tell Rex about it and decided to go there.
After Edward's explanation, Adhara started to sob as she stumbles towards Rex in tears.
Rex hugs her body as she started crying in Rex's arms.
Knowing that his last family member that she had is in trouble, it's natural for her to be in this kind of panic state.
Rex didn't blame her, he too will be like this if something were to happen to his parents.
He rubs Adhara's back to calm her down,
While he's doing this, he's inside his thoughts thinking of a way to safe Adhara's father but the difficulty is very hard.
Although there is a glimpse of thought to just knock Adhara out to avoid her making careless decisions in order to save her father, Rex doesn't have the heart to do that.
It will make Adhara hate him, and he didn't want that.
After deliberating for a while, Rex knows that it will be very dangerous but he had to do it.
For Adhara's sake,
Rex then finally steeled his will to safe Adhara's father, but right before he wanted to tell Adhara to prepare herself to leave for Beah City,
<Sudden Quest!!>
<Safe Adhara's Father>
The user's pack member is in need of help, Adhara's father is trapped inside Beah City that is about to be taken over by the demons, and he will die if the demons manage to take over the city. Helping a pack member is the duty of the Alpha, save Adhara's father from the demons!

Reading this, Rex then smiles, "Let's save your father"
