Chapter 48: Lightning Elementalist
The fight ended with Rex as its winner,
The students sent their praises to him, Rex becomes the idol of many guys and girls.
He got down from the Arena with heavy steps, he touches his armor that is already bent because of Gregg’s magic,
‘I can’t overwhelm Gregg with my current power especially during the day, If I can’t overwhelm Gregg then there’s no chance I can put up a fight against Kevin Luc’, Rex thought with a frown.
Rex knows who Kevin Luc is, Kevin always appear on the news as the genius Awakened at his young age.
He is a Fire Elementalist that has terrifying potential, he stepped into rank three in his early fifteen years old and has the capabilities to reach rank eight in his life. Defeating an early rank four with his rank three power, trained to fight Supernaturals, and even got recruited into the number one guild in Ratmawati City, the Fire of Doom guild.
Compared to Kevin, the current Rex will have no chance.
‘I need to get stronger, but how’, Rex fell into deep thought, he held his chin while walking past the crowd heading to Rosie and Adhara.
Before Rex even got near to Rosie and Adhara, Rosie already runs to him and hugs him.
“REX!!”, She said sweetly.
Rex was surprised but he already got used to Rosie, Adhara also approach him and said, “Congratulation, the Battle Gloves seems to be useful”
“Yeah, It’s really great! Thanks!”, Rex replied while taking the battle gloves off.
Rosie pouted on the side, she’s being left behind by Adhara because of that stupid battle gloves but then she notices that Rex is zoning out.
“What’s wrong Rex?”, Rosie asks but suddenly she realized, “Are you thinking about Kevin Luc? It’s okay if you lose really”, she whispers.
Rex glance at Rosie, he saw a helpless look on her face.
Then suddenly something hit him, he opened his stats tab and saw that the next full moon is five days away.
‘System, I need to get stronger fast, can you recommend me something?’, Rex asks the system, it’s worth giving a shot.

Reading this, Rex was given two option to choose from.
He is contemplating about the two choices, he then asks the system, ‘System, the Evolution before didn’t give me many benefits like stats boost, why do you recommend me to evolve?’
After a brief pause, the system replies,
<becoming a=”” werewolf=”” gives=”” you=”” the=”” power=”” to=”” turn=”” others=”” into=”” half-werewolf,=”” half-blood=”” and=”” werewolf=”” is=”” essentially=”” the=”” same=”” but=”” the=”” latter=”” become=”” a=”” real=”” supernatural=””></becoming>
‘System, in simpler terms please’, Rex said feeling his head dizzy.
<half-werewolf can’t=”” become=”” a=”” real=”” supernatural=”” they=”” will=”” stuck=”” at=”” that=”” state=”” forever,=”” while=”” werewolf=”” is=”” a=”” supernatural=”” and=”” can=”” evolve=”” into=”” higher=”” ranking=”” beings=””></half-werewolf>
‘So that means Adhara can’t evolve further if I didn’t help her, but if I turn her into a Werewolf then she can evolve on her own?’
<yes></yes>
After getting a piece of useful information from the system, Rex was still hesitating in choosing.
He wants to become an Awakened by buying Elemental Affinity but he knows it will take longer to raise his power, his fight is next week so it seems impossible.
Buying a breathing technique on the other hand will surely boost Rex’s stats if he can reach level 20 and evolve,
After contemplating, Rex decided to buy a breathing technique for full-moon,
He opened the shop section and search for the full moon type breathing technique, he filters the breathing technique into high rank only.
Immediately after, rows of breathing techniques appear in front of him,
Rex has 17,000 gold in his pocket from the quest before and killing the Tree Giant and the Anansi,
The cheapest high-rank Breathing Technique is 15,000 gold, while the most expensive is 30,000 gold.
He only has 17,000 gold so he can only buy the cheaper one,
Rex filters the shop from the cheapest to the most expensive, after scrolling for a bit he found two Breathing Technique that he likes.

‘As expected of a high-rank technique, I am certain to get a mutation unlike low-rank techniques’, Rex thought.
The first technique is an offensive one while the second is a defensive one, ‘To be able to fight Kevin Luc I need to play defensive’, Rex thought.
After decided what to buy, Rex immediately bought the second breathing technique.
He spent 15,000 gold for it, it is the cheapest high-rank Breathing Technique that gives him the desirable mutation.
The match continues, the students that have lower than rank three power can’t participate in the tournament so only a handful of students will fight in the Arena.
Adhara and Rosie are watching the fight after they notice Rex is thinking about something, they decided to let Rex be.
Rex was left with 2000 gold left, he searches for elemental affinity and filters it to the cheapest, surprisingly it is within his budget.
He thought for a while, ‘System, can I change affinities later if I decided to buy one?’
<the user=”” can=”” have=”” multiple=”” affinities=”” if=”” the=”” user=”” bought=”” a=”” low-rank=”” affinity=”” and=”” wanted=”” to=”” upgrade=”” it=”” to=”” a=”” higher-rank=”” affinity,=”” then=”” the=”” user=”” can=”” just=”” upgrade=”” it=”” using=”” gold=””></the>
Reading this, Rex was elated.
He then browses the affordable affinities, there are common elements such as fire, water, wind, and earth and they all cost 1000 gold for the low-rank one.
Rex scrolls down and found exotic elements such as Shadow, Chaos, Lightning, and many more.
‘I want my Strength to be my main stat, but I will be too slow if I focus on strength only. I need to find an element that can make me fast and compliment my high strength’, Rex thought.
His eyes then fall to an element that costs 1500 Gold for its low-rank affinity, Lightning Affinity.
Lightning is a destructive element just like fire.
Although fire is the most destructive with little to almost none defensive capabilities, Lightning is almost as destructive but has speed as its form of defense.
It is the perfect elements for Rex,
He immediately buys Lightning Affinity from the shop, starting this day, Rex can become an Awakened just like everybody else.
After getting the necessary preparation for strengthening himself, Rex looks at Adhara, ‘System, can a breathing technique used by Adhara?’
<yes, all=”” of=”” the=”” user’s=”” pack=”” member=”” can=”” use=”” the=”” breathing=”” technique=”” the=”” user=”” bought=””></yes,>
Reading this, Rex decided if he has more gold he will buy for Adhara,
Soon, the day turns to noon.
The match for today ended, tomorrow the match will resume.
The students started to go out of the training hall to attend their own business.
Rex is walking out with Adhara and Rosie, “Oh yeah, now that I remember. Where is Laura?”, Adhara asks.
Rex and Rosie widened their eyes, “I can’t believe I forgot about her”, Rex replies before face-palming himself.
“I heard Laura is recruited by the Ice Angel guild, she’s probably busy right now”, Rosie said casually.
‘Well, she is talented and has connection I must say’, Rex thought.
After that, Rex bid goodbye to the girls excusing himself to go back to his room tired.
But deep down he just can’t wait to try out the Lightning Affinity, it’s been his dream to become an Awakened and now it is only a couple of steps away.
Arriving at his room, he immediately sits down on his bed in a meditative position.
‘First thing first, let’s learn the Breathing Technique’, Rex brought the Lin the Kapre Breathing Technique from the inventory.
Then immediately, a book appeared on his hand.
The book is red in color, the cover of the book is a tusked creature and the book emits a faint smoke from the creature’s mouth.
<do you=”” want=”” to=”” learn=”” this=”” technique=”” for=”” 200=”” gold?=””></do>
Rex felt pain after seeing the costs increase the higher the rank, he then nodded his head in confirmation.
The book turns into a red light and seeped into Rex’s head, rows of information that are many times more compact than his first technique enter his brain.
Rex felt pain in his head but he can manage to endure it, not long after he instantly learned the technique.
After learning the technique, the moment he’s been waiting for has come.
Rex brought the lightning affinity out of the inventory,
Blitz! Blitz!
An orb made of lightning appeared on his hand, the lightning is blitzing around chaotically, it even prickled his skin as if it’s attacking him.
The orb is small, it is only the size of a tennis ball.
‘System how do I use this?’, Rex asks the system, he felt nervous for no reason while looking at the lightning orb.
<the user=”” needs=”” to=”” close=”” the=”” user’s=”” eyes,=”” held=”” the=”” lightning=”” orb=”” with=”” both=”” of=”” the=”” user’s=”” hand,=”” and=”” try=”” to=”” absorb=”” it=””></the>
Rex do just as the system says,
He closes his eyes and tries to absorb the Lightning Orb on his hands,
Rex tries to feel the lightning properties but he can’t feel anything, this continues for about an hour before finally, he can sense a little bit of the lightning mana.
He can feel the lightning mana inside the orb, the lightning mana is a ball object that is dark blue in color and it is very minuscule in his surrounding.
Unknown to Rex, the lightning orb already disappeared and absorbed by him.
He is currently still in a meditative state, he remembers Adhara explained that the first rank is to feel the elements and need to accumulate enough mana to advance to the next rank.
Rex tries to pull the lightning mana on his surrounding but none of them reacted to him,
Another hour passed,
Rex’s veins bulged, he tries very hard to attract the lightning mana but it only moved by a little bit before it goes back to floating around.
Two hours passed,
Every time Rex rest for even a little bit, the lightning mana that is already close to him goes back to its usual behavior which is floating around.
Rex got frustrated but he didn’t give up,
Finally, after five hours of meditating, he managed to attract one lightning mana after so much effort.
Blitz!!
He felt his body tingles as electric shock runs through his body, it didn’t hurt him but rather it felt great.
Rex opens his eyes slowly and looks at his hand, he can feel the lightning mana coursing through his blood.
<congratulation! the=”” user=”” has=”” become=”” a=”” lightning=”” elementalist!=””></congratulation!>
Reading the system notification, Rex was stunned, his brain go blank before suddenly, “YESS!!!”, he shouted in delight.
‘I finally become an Awakened!’
