Two days have passed, Rex and the girls have gotten better except for Laura,
The doctor said that Laura has been poisoned by some kind of fruit, she will need to rest for a few more days before she can get back to normal activities.
Rex remembered that during the night at Vouver City, Him, Adhara, and Laura drink the juice from the street stall while Rosie luckily didn’t. Turns out it is poisoned, Adhara and Rex are not poisoned because the poison is not strong enough for their Werewolf bodies.
The Anansi makes a trap from Lamia to the Tree Giant, it makes this trap to test the level of the enemy, which is a terrifying intelligence for a Supernatural if Rex thinks back.
After the mission, Argus holds his part true.
The university gives him appropriate medical needs, university points, and rewards.
Rex’s name becomes even popular than before because of this, the university didn’t keep the information a secret and broadcast Rex and the girl’s feat, beating a rank four Tree Giant.
Rex didn’t like the popularity but he can’t control it, some upperclassmen started to know his name by now.
Mr. Joseph gives them 5000 University Points and High Elemental Stones for the girls and armor for Rex, Rex’s previous armor already got tattered and destroyed because of the battle against the Tree Giant.
The new armor has a similar design to the previous one but the new armor has dark yellow shining tiger eyes on its shoulder pads. It is also imbued with a rank 4 earth element rather than a rank three protection rune.

Rex was happy getting the armor, mission from the university really does bring benefit.
If other students were to hear what Rex gets from a mission, they will turn green in envy because the rewards Rex gets are the same level as a person doing twenty missions.
The system’s sudden quest also reward him greatly, he got 10,000 gold that is equivalent to a million dollar! and also 5 Skill Upgrade!
Rex was on the way to the class, he is looking down in thought.
‘Hmm, what skill to get?’, just as Rex was thinking, he remembers he got a skill from that Tree Giant.
‘The system analyzed a skill randomly, I still can’t get the pattern of it’, Rex thought before he opens the skill tab.
There he found Brace of Moonlight skill, he then taps on it with his mind.
<brace of=”” moonlight=”” -=”” upgradeable=””></brace>
<a mid-rank=”” skill=”” that=”” the=”” user=”” got=”” from=”” a=”” tree=”” giant,=”” this=”” skill=”” can=”” only=”” be=”” used=”” during=”” the=”” night=”” under=”” the=”” moonlight.=”” the=”” user=”” will=”” absorb=”” the=”” moonlight=”” and=”” will=”” temporary=”” increases=”” all=”” of=”” your=”” stats=”” by=”” 20%=”” but=”” decrease=”” your=”” endurance=”” by=”” 20%,=”” the=”” skill=”” time=”” limit=”” is=”” 10=”” minutes=”” and=”” you=”” will=”” be=”” in=”” a=”” weakened=”” state=”” after=”” using=”” the=”” skill=””></a>
Reading this Rex nodded his head in confirmation, he then taps the Upgrade button to check how many skill upgrade to use and surprisingly it is exactly five skill upgrade.
‘Is this a coincidence? Or is this system just want to take all of my points?’, Rex thought, he then thinks about the pros and cons of the skill.
‘I have an attack skill, mental attack skill, and Brace of Moonlight is an enhancement skill, I don’t have a defense skill but I can make up with my Werewolf body’, After thinking for a while, Rex decided to ask the system about the upgrade of Brace of Moonlight.
<upgrading brace=”” of=”” moonlight=”” will=”” give=”” the=”” user=”” two=”” choices,=”” enhance=”” the=”” skill=”” temporary=”” increase=”” in=”” stats=”” or=”” reduce=”” the=”” decrease=”” in=”” your=”” endurance=”” and=”” reduce=”” weakened=”” state=”” duration=””></upgrading>
Reading this, Rex was tempted, ‘If I can reduce the decrease in endurance and weakened state duration, it will make this skill a full-on buff with no side effect’
He then decided to upgrade his Brace of Moonlight, the system shows him the available upgrade,
</pure>
<a mid-rank=”” skill=”” that=”” can=”” only=”” be=”” used=”” during=”” the=”” night=”” under=”” the=”” moonlight,=”” increase=”” your=”” stats=”” by=”” 25%=”” but=”” decrease=”” your=”” endurance=”” by=”” 10%=””></a>

<a mid-rank=”” skill=”” that=”” can=”” only=”” be=”” used=”” during=”” the=”” night=”” under=”” the=”” moonlight,=”” increase=”” your=”” stats=”” by=”” 50%=”” but=”” decrease=”” your=”” endurance=”” by=”” 30%=””></a>
Reading this, Rex immediately chooses the Pure Brace of Moonlight.
“Ouch!”, He felt his brain tingles as a painful snap happened on his brain after upgrading the skill, but the feeling quickly disappears.
After upgrading his skill, Rex wanted to buy a better breathing technique but suddenly Rosie appears out of nowhere and hugs him from the back.
Rex was shocked but he quickly calms down, without even asking who it is he already knows it is Rosie.
Besides only Rosie who got the guts to do this, Rosie’s ample body can’t be mistaken with another girl.
“Rex!”, She said happily.
Rex smiles cheekily after feeling other male student’s envy gaze and replies, “What is it? Why are you so happy this early in the morning”
She then jumped in front of Rex and said happily, “Look at this!”
Rex raises his brows when suddenly wind mana started to gather in her hand, the mana is denser than before, “Basic Magic, Wind Blade!”
A sword made of wind materialize on her hand, the sword is excluding sharpness as the wind moves around it.
Rex was surprised, “You just got into Rank Three? well done!”, he said trying hard to hide his envy.
‘I want to use elements too’, he thought, he id determined to buy an Elemental Affinity in the system’s shop.
After Rosie shows off, Rosie suddenly comes closer to Rex and whispers, “Meet me after class okay? Don’t bring anyone else”, she then winks cutely at Rex.
Rex was confused but the winks make his body jolted a bit as he nodded his head.
He then separated with Rosie, Rex is curious about what Rosie wanted to do especially added with a wink that makes his thoughts wonder about something…
Rex shakes his head in denial, ‘That can’t be true’
Arriving at the class, Adhara already sits in her usual place just beside him.
The classroom went silent when Rex enters the class,
The students in his class already heard about Rex’s feat and they started to grow more fearful of him, but instead of fear, some students become interested in him.
Just as Rex sits in his seat, Mr. Joseph got in and begin the class.
Today he is telling the students about the current situation of humanity to ignite some fighting spirit.
“As you all know, Zrolis City is still under the siege of a pack of Werewolves lead by Brutal Grey. the guilds under UWO and the FAA are working together to get the city back, they are still in the middle of preparing”, Mr. Joseph said while he shows the news about the event in front of the class.
Mr. Joseph then looks at the students and asks, “Can someone tell me, how can Brutal Grey enter our territory and manage to siege Zrolis City which is a level three-city”
The students fell in thought, then Adhara raises her hand and said, “Our carelessness brought the Werewolves into our territory”
“Not quite right, anyone else?”, Mr.Joseph said before glancing at the other students.
Then, Aldo, the class president answers, “The Werewolves are an expert at night, so it is hard to follow their movement”
Mr. Joseph chuckles and replied, “If that’s the case, there will be no captured Werewolf but there is many captured Werewolf in humanity’s side”
The class then went silent, then suddenly Rex raises his hand and said, “There is not enough manpower, or should I say, Awakenedpower”
Hearing this, Mr. Joseph smiles, “Yes, that is the right answer. Awakened is not that many compared to normal humans, if there is enough Awakened then why not just send a rank-7 Awakened to take back Zrolis City? Why can Brutal Grey never got captured?”
Feeling the students started to catch up, Mr. Joseph then continues, “That’s right, there is no available Awakened to do that. The Supernatural knows this, that’s why they are brave enough to enter our territory and siege Zrolis City. The high-rank Awakened are all on the border, fighting against the real horde of Supernatural, that’s why…”
Mr. Joseph pause slightly, he stares at each of the students with determination and said, “You new Awakened are our future hope, the faster you get stronger, the fewer siege like in Zrolis City will occur, and the sooner we will win the war”
Hearing this, the students felt the burden on their backs.
Many of their eyes shone with determination, feeling the power to make difference makes this young Awakened blood boil.
Mr. Joseph nodded his head in delight before he continues the class.
RING!!
After hours of lesson, the class ended.
Just as Rex wanted to go out to meet Rosie, Aldo approaches him and stop in front of him,
Rex looks at Aldo with a questioning look, “You guys just finished your mission, I’m here to inform you that tomorrow is the first-year internal tournament to get a spot in going to Faraday University to spar”, Aldo said while giving them a list.
“Oh, okay I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks for the information”, Rex said taking the list and standing up.
Aldo nodded his head and left Rex.
Rex left the class, Adhara wanted to follow him but he denied saying that he has something to do, Adhara pouted and finally left to train.
Rex message Rosie,
“Where are you?”
“Wait, I’m almost finished. Just wait for me near the University entrance”
“Okay, don’t be long”
“I won’t”
After chatting with Rosie, Rex puts his phone in his pocket before he walks towards the university’s entrance.
The entrance is crowded with people, Rex rarely saw upperclassmen because it is divided into their own section for different year students but the entrance is a mix of each year’s students.
Rex played with his phone on the corner, he missed going outside of the university, “I hope Rosie will ask me to go out of the university”, Rex thought.
Rex raises his head feeling his neck sore when suddenly he saw Rosie waving her hand from afar,
He then walks towards Rosie,
Rosie changes clothes, before class she wears a casual outfit but now she suddenly transforms into a beautiful goddess wearing a red slim-fit dress highlighting the curves of her body.
But Rex’s eyes fall to her lips, her lips are red wearing lipstick that looks mesmerizing.
Rex was stunned for a while before he snapped back from his daze, “Why are you wearing formal clothes?”, he asks feeling confused.
But Rosie’s next word makes Rex’s heart skipped a beat, “We’re going to meet my parents!”
“WHAT?!”
