Chapter 140 This Is Not A Good Sign



The obstacle course is not lethal, but rather it will be a test of stealth.

It got many glasses and bottles tied in a rope that is swaying left and right, wooden planks that they need to go through without making a noise, and a dummy that they need to avoid.

Edward is looking at both of them from the side, his eyes are scanning both of their movements.

He then cut a rope on his side making the dummy appear in front of Ryze and Kyran, they both instantly side-stepped to the side without making any sound.

They\'re accustomed to the training course, but that is not all.

Clang!

Ryze suddenly nudge a bottle that is a part of the training course, the bottle makes a clanging sound before its falls to the ground.

Thud!

Ryze looks in Edward\'s direction in panic, he let his guard down and hit the bottle.

Hearing this, Edward\'s gaze becomes fierce.

He signals Ryze to come to him before he slashes Ryze\'s back with a knife, he does this to remind both of them of the part where they lack attention.

It\'s a downgraded version of the USR punishment,

Back when Edward is still training in the USR, every time he makes a mistake he will be whipped, cut, and put in the red box where he will undergo his punishment.

The training there is also brutal, none of them can make any single mistake.

Even the smallest mistake in their training will result to be brought into the red box, and remembering the red box makes Edward\'s skin crawl.

After finishing the training course, both Kyran and Ryze fall to the ground.

They\'re both exhausted because of how stiff they need to be to complete the training course, their body felt sore all over.

Edward looks at both of them and said, "You guys wait here, we\'ll continue when I got back"

Ryze and Kyran didn\'t answer, they both only give a nod before they lie on the ground tiredly.

The day is still bright, Edward takes out a cigarette before he went to Ochyra University to check on something before he resumed Ryze and Kyran\'s training.

Rex hasn\'t come back ever since he went on a mission, it seems he\'s quite busy.

Meanwhile, Adhara is still in the Training Hall.

Aside from training her dagger-wielding skill and her purple fire, she also makes time for meditation to resume the rune she\'s making.

Although she\'s training, she didn\'t forget to do meditation.

It\'s still a must for her to do meditation, she didn\'t want to be left out by Rex again so she went all out in her training with little to no rest.

All of this is possible because of her Werewolf body, the Silverstar Mark on her neck is already grey.

Her evolution into Werewolf is already complete, and she can somewhat feel the changes happening to her body.

Adhara realizes that her senses have become even sharper, and also she can feel all of her bones becomes stronger.

It\'s not an overstatement to say that her bone is stronger than steel.

During the past few days, Adhara went to check on Kyran two times.

She saw how Edward trains them ruthlessly before she went back, the second time she went there she saw Edward smoking alone on the balcony.

Edward lit up the smoke when suddenly a guy trip and fall in front of the house.

Adhara wanted to help the guy because the fall is pretty bad but she refrains from doing so, she saw Edward turns his head away in fright upon seeing the scene.

His face shows fear, he then quickly poke the burnt side of the cigarette into his hand.

Edward\'s movement is so smooth as if it\'s a reflex, his face then turns back to a stoic expression before he resumes his smoking.

The guy falls right in front of Edward\'s eyes, and Edward should\'ve helped him because the guy cried for help. His ankle broke.

Ignoring the guy, Edward then went back to the house.

After Edward went inside the house, Adhara instantly helps the guy who is crying for help.

She saw the guy\'s ankle is broken, she glances at the house door with a frown, \'Why didn\'t he help this guy? Doesn\'t he have any empathy?\', Adhara thought.

Adhara then brought the guy to the nearest hospital.

Back to the present, Adhara is training in the Training Hall.

The scene where Edward didn\'t help the guy is still stuck in her mind, it just doesn\'t make sense for him to do something like that.

Adhara is finally accustomed to the purple fire, she can now control it freely.

She also manages to do the routine given by Edward easily, she\'s indeed compatible with a dagger making her training, not for nothing.

Purple Fire burns her dagger beautifully, the fire is shaped unlike the chaotic shape before.

The shape of the purple fire when incorporated into Adhara\'s dagger is a crescent shape that makes her dagger reach further.

She learns what a dagger wielder lacks is in range of attack, so she makes the purple fire shaped like that.

Adhara slashes to her front before quickly turning her body and slash her back.

SLASH!

The move is smooth like water, her form is tight and strong.

Adhara\'s body already remembers the move perfectly as if she\'s trained in it for years, her movement is not stiff like the first time.

While she was training, she suddenly senses someone approaching him.

She glances to her left and saw Edward looking at her with a surprised look, "I\'m surprised you master it so soon, you\'re blessed by the dagger", he praised.

Adhara straighten her body, "Thanks, I think I start to get the hang of it"

"You want to accompany me eat?", Edward said while raising the white plastic bag in his hand, there\'s food in it.

Looking at it, Adhara then nodded her head.

They both went to a nearby place where they started to eat the food brought by Edward, it is satay that he bought from a stall outside of Ochyra University.

Adhara and Edward eat their food while awkwardly sitting in a seat.

They both are not that close to each other, in fact, Adhara feels weird around him because of the incident during the tournament at Faraday University.

Adhara takes small bites while Edward glances at her a few times.

"You manage to master the move I gave you, it\'s quite fast for an amateur that hasn\'t wield a dagger in their life", Edward said opening a conversation.

Adhara then replied, "I don\'t know, the dagger just feels right in my hand"

Edward nodded his head, the awkward vibe came back to them instantly making Adhara uncomfortable.

Just when Adhara finished her food, Edward asks, "How\'s Rex?"

Hearing this, Adhara frowns, "What do you mean?"

"I mean is he fine? Did he ever act weird sometimes?", Edward added.

He\'s curious about Rex\'s life after the military,

Edward knows that Rex manages to survive which makes him happy but he just met him a couple of times post-military, he thought Adhara will know more about Rex since she\'s hanging around Rex all the time.

Adhara thinks for a while before she said, "No, he never did anything weird aside from his ruthless behavior that shocks me every time he becomes like that"

Edward sighs, he already expected the answer.

Seeing Edward\'s expression, Adhara then asks, "If you don\'t mind me asking, have you been to a doctor after you\'ve been dismissed from the military?"

Edward looks at Adhara with a surprised expression, he didn\'t expect Adhara to ask something random like that, "Why do you ask?"

"I saw you yesterday when a guy broke his ankle in front of your eyes", Adhara said.

Edward turns his head away, he seems hesitant before he said, "Do you see all of it?"

"Yes", Adhara replied.

Just as Adahra thinks Edward will tell her, he suddenly stands up and said, "Well, you just need to know that not everyone can handle it as well as Rex. Not everyone came back the same"

After saying that, Edward walks away before saying, "I\'ll give you the next move later, just drop by to the house"

Meanwhile, while Adhara and Edward is talking.

Rex is currently inside a hall that are filled with people, they are dancing and celebrating because the Supernatural that attacked them before got fend off.

It is Rex\'s third mission since Rex left Ochyra University, he\'s currently in a level three city.

The city is more developed that the city before because this is a level three city, there are skyscrapers in this city with a few Awakened living here.

Many of these Awakened live here because this is their home city, they don\'t want to abandon it.

The human lost a battle in the border against the Supernatural, a huge chunk of them got inside human\'s territory and manage to arrive here.

Many undeads ranging from early rank three to early rank four went rampage inside the city, they manage to penetrate the well built wall around the city easily.

It\'s a miracle that Rex arrives here in time,

The Awakened that guards this city is only rank threes, they can\'t handle the horde of undead.

\'I manage to level up by two in the last couple of days, it\'s faster than I expected\', Rex thought.

From the constant taking missions from the Task Hall, Rex manage to level up by two in this last couple of days without dangering himself.

He only fight with rank three and early rank four at most.

Rex opened his phone to take another mission from the Task Hall but then, a notification from the system appeared.

<Carabidis Temple is near>

Reading this, Rex immediately open the Pack Quest.

He opened the map and saw that the Carabidis Temple is about 6 kilometers away from this city, it\'s not too far for Rex to run there.

\'Should I check it out?\', Rex thought.

Rex knows that the Pack Quest is the hardest quest he will ever undergo, judging from the bountiful rewards he will get if he manage to finish the quest.

After thinking for a while, Rex finally decided to check it out.

The city folks went out of their way to thank Rex, the Awakened living here also sent their gratitude for helping the city in need.

Because of Rex\'s help, the city manage to decrease their casualities.

The undead horde almost reach the city folks that take refuges in a big warehouse on the corner of the city, Rex manage to stop them and kill all the undead nearing the big warehouse.

It\'s a clutch moment, and Rex thanked himself for it.

After going out of the city, Rex immediately run towards the Carabidis Temple at the west.

Ten minutes passed,

Rex finally arrive at the Carabidis Temple, at least that\'s what stated in the quest map in the system.

In front of him, there is a huge cliff.

Rex looks down to the cliff and saw that there\'s dark clouds covering the bottom of the cliff, he can\'t see the bottom clearly.

Just as he looks down, the sky suddenly turned dark.

Pitter-Patter...

The darkened sky rains the place with water, the rain become heavy instantly drenching Rex\'s clothes.

CRACK!!

BOOM!!

A thundering sound was heard as the sky spat lightning, the rain come suddenly making Rex frowns in thought.

\'This is not a good sign, right?\', Rex thought wryly.
