<Level Up!>
<Obtained 3 Attributable Stats>
Rex smiles after he got the system's notification, but he was confused as to why the Killing Intent got completed like that.
'Oh well, thanks for the free reward', he then put the attributable stats into his endurance. He got a feeling that he will need it.
He closes his eyes to rest or at least that's what he wanted.
But as soon as he closes his eyes, his head was filled with thoughts about everything that happened to him recently.
'I need to go back to the warehouse again to get Miru and Kiru, I'll probably do it tonight', Rex thought. Miru and Kiru are currently in the warehouse hiding, the place is still filled by FAA so it is still a mystery whether Kiru and Miru will still be there when he got back.
He then remembered about the ambush before, 'Whoever sent them, they will be alerted about how strong I currently am. But it's odd, I don't sense any killing intent from them as if they're just wanted to injure me or test me'
From the way the assassins move, they never attack Rex's group vital part. Even Rosie and Adhara only got slashes on their body, none of them was injured badly.
It seems the assassins only wanted to injure them.
After shrugging it off, Rex then opened the system tab remembering he still got 8 Skill Upgrade,
He opened the skill tree tab to see if there's anything that catches his eyes, he needs more skills in his arsenal before he reaches rank three.
'I need defensive skill, it will be useful during hard times. I can't just keep relying on my regenerative abilities', Rex thought.
After scrolling for a minute in his mind, his eyes caught a skill.
<Force Manipulation - Level 1>
Force is an aura that is produced by a strong fighter that trains their body to their max, it is a sign of a master hand-to-hand combat fighter. This skill can help the user to feel and manipulate force that can greatly increase the user's body durability, it can be applied to anything the user thought.
Seeing this skill, Rex was tempted.
Not many people comprehended force in this era because of Awakened powers,
An Awakened usually focuses on their elemental mana which can also increase their physical power but mainly uses spells, the Force however needs an astonishing amount of physical training and will increase their physical attributes more than elemental mana can.
Because of learning Ugrok's skill and upgrading it to Force Beam, Rex can tap on this Force power but he still can't feel or control it.
The Force only gets activated when he uses Force Beam.
'Let's learn this skill', Rex decided to learn Force Manipulation. The skill costs 5 Skill Upgrade and it is divided into three levels, the cost for this skill is 15 for level two, and 30 for level three.
With the amount he has now, Rex can only buy the first level.
He then learns Force Manipulation skill,
Immediately after, rows of information enter his brain and his body jolted a little. Unlike learning books or spells, skills from the skill tree didn't cost any gold.
His body glows with a white hue, he felt his body becomes stronger and more powerful than before.
Rex can also feel different entities in the surrounding, there is a white, dark yellow, and red substance dancing around along with elemental mana.
It is a bizarre entity,
Every time it gets close with Elemental Mana, the Elemental Mana simply changes its routes but if they do collide the Elemental Mana will just go through the entity.
'That must be Force', Rex thought, he then tries to absorb this Force.
Unlike Elemental Mana, this Force can be absorbed easily but Rex can only absorb the white Force. The dark yellow and red Forces didn't budge no matter how hard Rex tries to attract them.
He was confused but he then suddenly realize, 'That must be a higher-level force, that's why I can't absorb it yet'
After absorbing the White Force for about a minute, he then suddenly can't absorb this White Force anymore.
There is a limit to how much he can get this White Force.
He can feel his body filled with these White Force and he also felt stronger!
'I must try this out later, I reckon that my physical abilities raise for quite a bit', Rex thought, he then tries to surround himself with the White Force.
His purpose for getting this skill is to make a barrier made of force, it will act as a defensive measure.
Rex puts his focus to the max, he guides the White Force to surround his body like a barrier.
The White Force easily covered Rex's body creating a thin white barrier that hardly seen by naked eyes, it makes Rex's skin brighter.
'Let's try out its durability later when I got to Faraday University', Rex thought.
Just as he wants to open his eyes, Rosie already shouted from his side, "REX!! We're here!!"
Rex jolted because of Rosie's shock, he opened his eyes and straightens his body forward but slipped and stumbles to his other side.
Squish!
His head landed on something squishy, "Eh?", he was stunned for a moment.
A sweet womanly fragrant seeped into his nose, it smells like a sweet lavender that felt soothing to his nose. He can't help but praise the person wearing this perfume, he nodded his head repeatedly but suddenly.
Tsss!!
Rex's head suddenly felt scorching hot, he looks behind him and can't help to sweat.
His head accidentally lands on Ms. Hera's twin big mountains, it landed perfectly in the middle.
They are currently in a van so the seat is face-to-face with each other, Hera, Rex, and Rosie is on the left side while Adhara is on the right side facing them.
'So that's why it's weirdly squishy and soothin', Rex thought but his expression suddenly freezes when he saw Ms. Hera's expression.
"Ms...Ms. Hera...", he said stutteringly.
Hera's red aura started to leak out, her face becomes red like a tomato.
Rex is preparing himself to get slapped, he closes his eyes accepting his punishment but that slap never comes.
He opened his eyes and peek at his front, he saw Hera looks down embarrassedly.
He wanted to apologize fearing Hera will report him but suddenly, Hera only turns her head away and leave Rex's head be which is still laying on her chests.
"Eh?", Rex was stunned, he still can't process what Hera's action meant.
Just as he wants to clear the misunderstanding, suddenly two hands grabbed both of his shoulders.
His back started to sweat, he felt two tigresses looking at him from his back.
He slowly looks at his back and saw Adhara and Rosie with bulged veins, they are smiling gently but their aura is intending to explode at any moment.
Crack!
Their knuckles make a cracking sound, it is starting to get intense.
Rex looks at suddenly saw his own body releasing a pale black aura, his Bleak Sense saw immense fear coming out of his own body!
"Wait, It was an accident", Rex said wryly.
Adhara and Rosie didn't even want to hear Rex's explanation before suddenly, "AAHHH!!!"
~
In an office somewhere in Ratmawati City,
"Where are they? Why haven't they reported back yet?", a man wearing a black suit shouted with clear confusion, his eyebrows scrunched together in thought.
The person in front of the man replied, "I don't know Mr. President, we haven't got anything back from them"
The man touches his chin in thoughts, "That's weird, there should be at least one of them reporting back"
"Yes, It's not their usual style at all. There's no way this Rex Silverstar beat them all right?", the person said with a frown, he looks worried.
The man leans to his chair, and lights a cigarette, he then said, "How many White Assassins did you send to test them?"
The person looks down on a paper and replies, "I sent twenty-plus people, two peak rank four, and a couple of early rank fours to handle him, the rest are rank three. It should be enough to test a student like him"
After pausing briefly, the person continues, "The lecturer, Hera is only a peak rank four. So the mission should go smoothly"
Hearing this, The man chuckles a little, "Even Kevin can only hold his own against a peak rank four Awakened, let alone a nobody from Ochyra University. Let's just wait for a little"
~
Rex and the girls are currently walking towards Faraday University entrance,
Rex got a huge bump on his head because of Rosie and Adhara earlier, he follows the girls while holding his bump.
"I didn't even do it intentionally", Rex mumbles to himself.
Just before they arrive at the entrance, a woman wearing blue blazers with a white t-shirt underneath is waiting for them in front of the entrance.
Based on her clothes, she is definitely one of the lecturers of Faraday University.
Hera leads the others towards the woman, she puts on her stoic professional look as they approach the woman.
"Welcome to Faraday University, I'm Rita one of the Lecturers here", the woman said while bowing slightly.
She then continues, "You must be the representatives of Ochyra University, it's my pleasure to welcome you all here. I heard about the accident, my sincere condolences"
Rita glance at them before her eyes widened for a second, then a frown appears on her face.
Rex caught this weird reaction, 'Why she looks shocked after looking at us?'
Hera also notices this and then said, "Thank you, we thankfully manage to kill all of them"
Hearing this, Rita can't cover her shocked expression anymore. She then smiles awkwardly and said, "You must be tired then, please follow me to your rooms"
They then follow Rita to their rooms,
Faraday University is just like sector 2E, they are covered with white-colored and look futuristic.
The buildings are made of the same materials as sector 2E and it is comfortable to walk in, a huge levitating chandelier with a red crystal on top of it that emits a translucent red light greets them after they enter Faraday University.
It majestically shone on all corners bringing a comfortable feeling.
'Hmm, the fire mana is dense here. Is that chandelier a treasure?', Rex thought.
The students here are also wearing white uniforms, and they are all looking stoic and serious. It's not bustling like Ochyra University, they are all like robots.
Some of the students are wearing high-tech equipment that Rex has never seen before, firearms are also a common thing here.
Just by looking at them, Rex already knows they are all boring geniuses. He felt comfortable in this quiet atmosphere.
After walking for a while, they finally arrive at their rooms.
It is located on the outer-most dorm section, it is not luxurious like his room in Ochyra University but it's alright.
"Here's the key for your rooms, please if you need anything just call me by pressing this button", Rita said pointing at the hologram etched on the wall.
The other nodded their heads before Rita finally left them.
Just after Rita left, Rex said, "They're the ones who send the white assassin before right?"
"Yes, her expression is like an opened book", Hera said sharply, she's fuming with anger but she held it in.
Adhara also added, "Yes I can see her surprise aura and it is very intense, she definitely thought we will be in a bad shape"
Meanwhile, Rosie on the other hand got left out.
From the moment they arrive at Faraday University, her focus goes to the surrounding place that looks like a spaceship.
She didn't understand what's going on, "Wait what?", she said confusedly.
~
"Hello? Did you get Rosie? Where is she? I will immediately go there?", Gregg asks the person on his phone.
Bzztt!!
Gregg frowns, "What do you mean Rex has a peak rank four-guard protecting him? He's just a nobody"
BZZTT!!
Tuut~
"WHAT THE HELL!!", Gregg shouted madly, he can't believe that his plan failed just like that. He wanted to kidnap Rosie to lure Rex into a trap but who would've thought that Rex has guards on his side.
Gaby approaches him with a curious look, "What is it?"
"They failed, they got attacked by White Ninjas out of nowhere", Gregg said with a darkened expression.
