Kyran held a dagger on the fat man's neck, his movement was quick making the fat man unable to react to him.
His eyes are sharp, he glances at the plate in front of the fat man before his expression changed.
The food that the fat man eats turns out to be the corpse they threw earlier, it's already cut into small pieces and it's a strain for untrained eyes.
Kyran looks away before he grabs the fat man's neck and threw him to the side.
BRAK!!
The fat man got smashed into the wall heavily, his belly wobble left and right as he sits helplessly on the ground.
Kyran's body boils in anger, he can't believe the guy in front of him.
For another human being to eat another human is simply sick, Kyran can't believe that this kind of thing happened under the authority's nose.
He then looks at the fat man with a disgusted expression, "Talk"
BAM!
Kyran stepped on the fat man's neck pinning him down as his cold eyes look at him, "Who are you and what is your position in the Platchi Family?"
Hearing this, the fat man simply gazed at Kyran in panic.
"I...Uh...", the fat man stutters, his eyes then darted to Kyran's back in panic.
Seeing this, Kyran immediately ducked when he fell that someone trying to hit him from the back.
SWOOSH!
BRAK!
The wooden furniture around got smashed by a metal bat, A guy missed Kyran as he stumbles forward.
Kyran rolls to the side and looks at the guy.
He also saw the fat man throwing up on the ground, the human remains he ate started to come out of his mouth.
'Did he got forced eating this?', Kyran thought.
But then, his train of thoughts got stopped abruptly when he saw the guy already coming at him with a metal bat in hand.
The guy's body glows with a red hue, it was evident that he's also an Awakened.
Kyran grabbed the guy's wrist before he twists it to the side, his small figure is contrasting with the monstrous strength that he got from turning into a Werewolf.
The guy widened his eyes in surprise as he got slammed to the ground.
But during this moment, the guy manages to hit Kyran's leg and making him also fall to the ground with him.
BAM!
Both of them started to struggles on the ground.
Kyran is trying to stab the guy with his dagger while the guy desperately holds onto Kyran's hand trying to prevent Kyran from stabbing him.
They both roll on the ground trying to get the upper hand.
After struggling because of their even strength, Kyran manages to catch the guy by surprise and stabbed him in the chest.
"ARGHH!", the guy shouted in pain.
Kyran quickly covers the guy's mouth as he stabs the guy again ending his life.
He then falls to the ground with heavy breaths, the guy is also has a peak rank three power making their fight event.
Thankfully, although the guy is an Awakened he didn't use spells.
Kyran felt lucky because the guy is afraid to make a scene and put the authority's eyes onto them, it will be disastrous for the market.
After calming himself down, Kyran glance at the fat man.
The fat man is still vomiting, red puddles started to be made in front of him.
Kyran stands up before he grabs the fat man's collar, "Answer my question now, don't make me kill you"
Seeing the dead guy on the floor,
The fat man then said, "I'm a nobody, the Platchi punished me by making me do this because I took $1,000 from their warehouse"
Hearing this, Kyran widened his eyes.
He's shocked at how cruel the Platchi's done their thing, it is simply inhumane forcing someone to eat another human being.
Although the guy is in the wrong, it's still wrong to do this.
Kyran then grabbed the fat man's collar again, "Is there another exit aside from the front door?", he asked.
"I don't know", the fat man said.
Getting no answer from the fat man, Kyran then looks around.
He can't find anything aside from this place that is used for the fat man's punishment, the other room is empty.
After finding nothing, he then decided to take a gamble.
"This should be the other side", Kyran thought, he positioned his fist before punching the wall to create a hole for them.
Crash!!
Kyran tries to create the hole as silent as possible.
He manages to create a wall but he doesn't know if the guards heard him, he then grabs the fat man and left the place.
Not long after, the guard went inside.
He saw what happened inside before they contacted the others to report to them what just happened here.
Kyran on the other hand is already back at the rooftop.
He's surprised that the dark power that he somehow got can be used on others too, the fat man got blended in the dark by his power.
The guard can be seen looking around the streets trying to find the fat man.
"Guide me to their warehouse", Kyran ordered as he packs his stuff, he takes back all the traps he set up and put them in a black bag.
The fat man looks at him and said, "You sound young, are you a prodigy from the other families?"
Hearing this, Kyran didn't answer.
"Guide me to their warehouse", he said again completely ignoring the fat man's remark.
Knowing that Kyran is not answering him, the fat man then nodded his head before he guides Kyran to the warehouse.
Both of them dashes in the night like a shadow.
Kyran is carrying the fat man while jumping through buildings, he needs to be wary to not get spotted by the police around or even other Awakened.
It's the rule here to not use powers in public places.
After about twenty minutes of jumping through buildings silently, both of them finally arrive in a place that is quite far from the public district.
This place is only filled with factories for bussineses.
Some factory workers are still working to give food to their families by arriving early.
Kyran then arrives in a factory that is completely dark, it looks like the factory is not operating yet because it's almost morning.
There are two warehouses in front of him, both look the same.
"That one, it's where the Platchi's inventory resided", the fat man said while pointing to the warehouse on the right.
Hearing this, Kyran went inside the right warehouse and tossed the fat man to the side.
Kyran looks around and found many boxes in the warehouse, he wanted to check what's inside when suddenly.
BEEP!!
The place suddenly lit up just as Kyran wanted to check the box.
In a hurry, Kyran takes a long box that is placed on the backside.
The long box is different than the others, it looks completely ordinary as it is only made of wood, unlike the other boxes that are made of metal.
Kyran then glances at the fat man on the side that is crouching on the corner.
He looks afraid and pale because of the incident before and now, it is completely sad to see which makes Kyran pity him.
Without even looking back, Kyran then dashes outside.
'I'll just leave him be, he probably won't do anything judging from how the Platchi treated him', Kyran thought as he left the place.

The next morning,
Rex and Adhara are training inside the training hall, they are both just done sparring.
Now, they both are working on themselves.
"You become quite good with the dagger, I assume you learn them from Edward?", Rex asks, he saw how Adhara's body moves beautifully with a dagger in her hands.
It would've never happened if Adhara didn't train hard for this.
Hearing this, Adhara blushed before she said, "Of course, I'm your right hand remember?"
Adhara said that with a warm smile on her face, it makes Rex's heart stopped for a second as the weird feeling came to him again.
Rex looks at Adhara with hazy eyes.
They both are currently in a private room that the university just made to accommodate top-rank students, it's not much but it's still better than none.
'System, this feeling will be a hassle for me. Can you remove it?', Rex asks.
He can't be feeling like this all the time when he's around Adhara, he can't hold it in every time the feeling that emerges.
Rex is also a man.
Adhara saw Rex's eyes that suddenly turns violet, it shocked her because of how sudden it turns colors as if it's normal.
She also feels the weird vibe around them, Rex is inching closer to her.
Just before the vibe becomes even more intense, Rex's phone rings disturbing both of their weird moments with each other.
Rex shakes his head, he walks away while answering the call.
"Hello? Who is this?"
"Rex, this is the old man you meet before"
Hearing this, 'Old man?', Rex thought in confusion.
But then, he suddenly realizes who he's speaking to, "Oh! Sir Principal, How may I help you?", Rex asks.
The old man that Rex is speaking to turns out to be the Faraday Universit's principal, the one he met before leaving Faraday University.
"I'm just checking if you have come to a decision yet"
Rex pause for a moment, he looks to Adhara who is also looking at him, and said, "Yes, but I have a slight condition if you're willing to hear me out"
"Say it, this old man will surely do in my power to accommodate you"
"It's nothing much, I just want another student transfer there with me. Can you do that?"
The principal laughs, he then said cheerfully, "Of course, the student that is recommended by you is certainly a genius. We can arrange that too"
"Great, then I'll take your offer. I'll send you the details after this"
After agreeing to transfer to Faraday University, Rex looks at Adhara and said, "Pack our stuff, we'll transfer to Faraday University in a bit"
Rex then walks past Adhara as he wanted to resume his training.
But then, "I'm not going to transfer to Faraday University, I'll stay here", Adhara said completely shocking Rex.
Hearing this, Rex turns his body with a confused look.
Adhara never denies him like this before, or at least he didn't expect Adhara to deny his decision.
"Why? We'll be stronger there", Rex said.
With the promised benefits offered by Faraday University's principal, both of them will be strong faster compared to the training here.
Not only the benefit but also the facilities there are out of the world.
Adhara looks at Rex with a complicated expression before she said, "I'm not going, I'm staying here at Ochyra University"
'What happened to her?', Rex thought.
He studied Adhara's expression before he said, "Are you hiding things from me again? We agree that we will never hide things from each other"
"What about you? You never told me you got scouted by Faraday University", Adhara rebutted.
Hearing this, Rex was at a loss for words.
He knows what Adhara said is true but he thought that his thing is not that important, "Did you got approached by Ochyra University too?"
From the way she's speaking, there's no way that she will be this stubborn out of nowhere.
Rex suspects that she also got offered something that can entice her into being like this, everything has a reason is what Rex believes.
Both of them looks at each other, the tension started to rise when suddenly,
RING!
Rex's phone rang again, he kept it ringing while maintaining eye contact with Adhara before he finally answered it.
"Who is it?", Rex asks.
"REX! Something bad happened!", the person on the other side shouted.
"Edward? What happened? Did you get attacked or something?", Rex asks in confusion, he's shocked by Edward panicking
Edward then said hurriedly, "I hope that were the case but this is worst, it's about Kyran"
"Did he got caught?! How could that happened?!", Rex asks, he can't think of anything bad enough other than that.
Adhara approaches Rex with a shocked expression, she heard something about Kyran and she started to worry for him.
Edward denied, "It's not that, it's about..."
Hearing this, Rex gasps cold air.
He can't believe what he's hearing right now, "He WHAT?!"
