Rex is currently sitting in the meditation room,
He already set the lightning crystal to make the surrounding lightning mana abundant, there's also a lightning stone on his hand.
The hand-sized dark blue stone is already dim,
Rex already meditated for almost two days on the train, one high lightning stone can be used for two days apparently.
In the last few days, Adhara and Rex didn't stop their meditation.
Because of the high elemental stones they got, both went instantly to the meditation room and never left.
If one looks closer, there's a rune on Rex's left elbow.
The rune on his left elbow is diamond-shaped, its edges are sharp, and it coils around his elbow like a snake. It looks more like a scar than a tattoo because of its pale color.
Black Lightning splashes around the rune as it is still not finished yet.
The center of it is a hollow circle, there are two symbols starting to take shape on it.
After a moment, the black lightning scarred Rex's shoulder as it nearing its finish.
The symbol starting to take shape.
The symbol on the left is a key facing down with a cold eye above it, the eyes are sharp and it creates an illusion as if it's looking at anyone looking at it.
While the symbol on the right is a lightning symbol with many branches on it.
Both symbols signify Rex entering new heights.
The first step of entering early rank four is to create the layout of the rune, it will be finished when the rune appears on the Awakened body.
Rex's eyes tremble slightly, he can feel the surge of mana exploded within him.
He opened his eyes before he glances at his shoulder, he can still feel a slight pain from his left shoulder, 'So this is my rune, it supposed to represent my element', Rex thought.
Rex studied the rune on his left shoulder,
'The symbol on the right definitely means lightning, so the right one means the properties given by the Dark Mooncress which is distortion right?', Rex thought.
The rune glint with black lightning, all of its lines, curves, and edges fit perfectly on Rex's elbow.
Rex still can't believe this rune is what makes Awakened so strong.
After studying the rune for a little longer, he then opens his stats.

<Average Human Adults have 5-7 points for each stat except for Intelligence>
His intelligence stats experience a huge change,
Rex felt that it will get harder for him to raise his rank but because of the high elemental stones, he manages to reach early rank four in a matter of days!
This is all thanks to the high elemental stone,
From this alone, Rex deduces that using elemental stones in meditation is really important. It can potentially skip months of meditating.
Although elemental stone help,
The speed of Rex's growth is still unheard of in any part of Ratmawati City, it is simply too fast!
'I manage to reach early rank four, let's try and learn other spells', Rex thought as he takes out the Mystic Shock Spellbook.
He spent his time reading and trying the spell in the meditation room.
After a couple of hours, Rex went out of the meditation room with a satisfied expression.
He ordered breakfast from the train staff before he started to eat his dinner, 'It's about time we arrive, let's get ready', Rex thought.
Not long after, the train stopped as they arrive in a city near Wedron City.
The city they arrive at is not a city, it is more like a resting place for people who are on a long journey like Rex himself.
There are many small people selling food, drinks, rooms, and even massage service.
All of them are wearing haggard clothes, the difference between the people here and Ratmawati instantly becomes evident.
This city only has hotels and a small number of houses, it's only a resting place so there are no defenses for wandering mutated beasts or Supernatural that decided to attack them.
It is suicide to live in this kind of environment but many don't have the option to move out.
Adhara got out of her meditation room before he went to Rex.
Rex is currently packing his stuff, he notices Adhara already got out of the meditation room.
He glances at Adhara and said, "Pack your thing, we need to travel by car after this so we can't waste anymore time here"
The SCO meeting will be held three days from now, so Rex needs to finish this mission fast.
Hearing this, Adhara nodded her head.
After a couple of minutes, they both wanted to get out of the train when suddenly Rex widened his eyes when he saw Adhara's eyes.
"Wait! Come here", Rex said while signaling Adhara to come closer.
He bought an item from the system before he takes it out and said, "Here use this, make sure to use it all times to avoid suspicion"
Adhara was confused, she looks at Rex with a questioning look.
Rex signals Adhara to look at her eyes, she opened her phone and looks at her eyes before she gasps in surprise.
Her usual brown color eyes change drastically.
Now, her eyes turn into bright yellow colors that are piercingly sharp. It even glows a bit when it got hit by light.
Looking at her eyes, Adhara immediately uses the item Rex gave.
Rex bought a soft lense from the system that can be used at all times, the system thankfully has anything he needed in the shop so it's okay for now.
Adhara looks at Rex, "Is it fine now? How do I look?"
"It's fine now, you don't have to change soft lense because that can be used forever", Rex explains before he turns his body around.
But then, his body suddenly feel weird.
Rex's eyes become hazy, his breathing becomes heavy when he saw Adhara.
'System, what's happening to me?', Rex asks but got no answer from the system, his hand started to stretch out to Adhara.
Seeing this, Adhara looks at Rex weirdly.
He then grabs Adhara's waist before he pulled her closer.
Adhara widened her eyes in surprise, the sudden change in Rex's mood come unexpectedly, "Rex? What's wrong?", she said with a rosy face.
Rex didn't answer Adhara before his nose run down on Adhara's neck.
Adhara felt Rex's warm breaths brushing on her neck, she started to breathe heavily herself, "Rex we need to go, there are people here", she said meekly.
This scene was caught by two train staff, they stand beside the door awkwardly.
Hearing this, Rex pulls himself from Adhara before he shakes his head, 'What's wrong with me? Why did she look more appealing now'
Both of them leave the VIP train, they're searching for a ride to Wedron City now.
The day already turned dark, the street lamp started to lit up as Rex and Adhara walk around the street.
"Excuse me, Can you tell me where I can get a lift to Wedron City?", Rex asks a man sitting on the edge of the street.
The man looked up, he glances both at Rex and Adhara before he answers, "Wedron City? That city is sieged by Orcs now, are you two an Awakened?"
Rex and Adhara nodded their heads.
Seeing this, the man stands up from the street and said, "OH! I can show you the way, please come with me"
Just before Rex and Adhara wanted to follow the man,
"Mister, Are you an Awakened?", a teen that looks in his 16 tugged the corner of Rex's clothes, his eyes are sharp, and his posture is quite good for a kid.
Rex glance at the teen, "What if I am?"
"How did you become an Awakened? Can you tell me?", the teen said with a demanding tone.
Hearing this, Rex smirks as he turns his body towards the teen, "Is that really the tone you use to ask for something?"
The man then interrupts, "Just leave him be. He just lost his sisters, his mind is already lost it now"
Rex didn't respond to the man as he stares straight into the teen's eyes.
The teen didn't faze under Rex's eyes, Rex didn't saw a crazy person through the teen's eyes but a resolute one.
"Make me an Awakened", the boy said with a demanding tone again.
Rex scans the boy and he's disappointed at what he saw,
<Kyran Cervantes>
Race: Human
Power: Rank Zero - Super Sense
Mental: 10
Strength: 3
Agility: 5
Endurance: 3
Intelligence: 0
Although Kyran is gifted, he's only gifted in Super Sense which is not a fighting-based gift.
Rex's sense is already powerful enough that he thinks that he didn't need someone like Kyran, he only needs someone with high fighting power to add to his pack.
Before he can answer the teen,
"GOBLIN ATTACK! EVERYONE RUN!"
Rex heard someone shout from afar followed by the sound of people screaming and panicking all around the city.
'Goblin? a Rank Two Supernatural, I'll might as well help the city', Rex thought.
He wanted to immediately massacre the goblins but then a voice interrupted him, "Make me an Awakened"
The teen still stands still in front of Rex unmoving, his eyes are still glued on stubbornly.
Rex then sighs, "If you want me to take you with me, bring me two goblin heads"
There are many normal people who ran around fleeing from the goblins, two heads is not much but for Kyran it should be impossible.
'He'll probably give up', Rex thought.
Green small creatures appear out of nowhere like a horde of bees, many of them wear gears like chain mail, sword, and daggers. It is a really scary scene for normal people, even the man got closer to Rex and Adhara in fear.
Rex and Adhara glance at each other before they nodded their heads.
Both of them then vanish from sight as they went to the horde of goblins and started to massacre all of them, the ground instantly turn red everywhere they go.
The goblin has no chance, "Lightning Salvo!"
Lightning mana gathers on Rex's fingertips, the rune on his shoulder become concentrated with mana before suddenly,
BLITZ!!
Lightning strike pierced every goblin that got caught in its path, dozens of Goblins died in a flash, the goblins got charred by the lightning strike.
Adhara also arrives on the other side, "Fire Schimitars!"
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
Adhara's Fire Schimitars exploded upon hitting the horde of goblins, she kills hundreds of them in a blink of an eye.
Although she's still in peak rank three, the rune on her arm is almost done. She is on the edge of breaking through early rank four.
The city's people stopped on their track as they saw the goblins got massacred.
Kyran and the man also look at Rex and Adhara with a surprised look,
They saw the destructive power of Rex and Adhara that easily killed dozens of goblins in one strike, it's not an everyday thing for them to see a powerful Awakened fight.
There's only Adhara and Rex that can defend the city. They are the only Awakened.
Seeing this, Kyran suddenly takes a rock on the ground before he left the man's side to find goblins to kill.
Just after a couple of minutes, the horde of goblins that threatened to flatten the city died just like that.
The city's folks look at Rex and Adhara in awe.
Rex and Adhara went back to the man, they saw Kyran is nowhere to be seen.
'Did he die?', Rex thought as he turns his head around trying to find Kyran who recklessly try to do the impossible task from Rex.
Just as he wanted to tell the man to guide him, he senses someone approaches him.
Thud!
A thudding sound was heard as something roll to Rex's feet, he looks to his back and saw Kyran's bloodied.
Kyran got many scratches around his body, blood decorates many parts of his body, and his right arm looks broken by the way it twists.
Rex look to his feet and saw four goblin heads! Four!
It should be impossible for someone like Kyran to kill two much less four! It's beyond Rex's expectations.
Adhara also looks at Kyran with a surprised look, she then nodded her head.
