The Invincible Full-Moon System

The second round ended as Ochyra University killed the Manticore first, it comes as a shock even for the crowd because of how bad they were doing in the first round.

In the last round, Rex looks completely outclassed by Edward.

Rex just became an Awakened recently, his skills in using mana is not that good even though his progress is still shocking.

But during the second round, this is the place where Rex shines the most.

He's adept in fighting Supernatural, his main power lies in his physical strength that surpassed many or even all of the students around his age.

"Good work all of you! We can win this!", Hera said as soon as the round is over.

All of the Ochyra University representatives are already in the back room, they are currently resting and tending to their wounds.

Many high-ranking medical Awakened came to the back room treating their wounds.

Because of the fire breath from the Manticore, many of the students that are not Fire Elementalist or Earth Elementalist suffer burn injuries. Including Rosie.

It was a devastating attack from a peak Rank Four Supernatural, if not for Rex then all of them will not able to beat it.

Hera knows this perfectly too, "How did you know that destroying the orb will end the Manticore's final attack?", she asks.

Rex shrugs his shoulders, "Instincts"

"If the Manticore manages to do that attack, I'm afraid the other will not get out with these light injuries", she said while looking at the injured students.

Rex walks towards Adhara and said, "You don't need to thank me, I'm a part of Ochyra University too"

Hera nodded her head but then Rex continues, "Besides if I didn't do it, Adhara will"

Before Rex destroyed the orb on the Manticore's mouth, he saw about ten fire scimitars aiming at the orb as well.

Adhara stopped it when she saw Rex destroyed it first.

From this, Rex knows that Adhara felt the threatening attack too and has the clear mind to decide and attack it.

He also notices that Adhara is moving faster, it looks like she got stronger.

'Well, Edward did say that she trains hard so I'm glad to hear it. But Rosie...', Rex thought as his eyes landed on Rosie.

She's currently got her injuries healed by the medical team, she looks like she's in pain.

Rex notices many changes in Adhara's power, he notices that the fire scimitars got even stronger than the last time she used them.

He also notices that there is a dagger on Adhara's thigh.

But Rosie on the other hand, Rex hardly saw any changes in her power.

She manages to raise a rank but her growth is still far too slow compared to Adhara, Rex also never got a glimpse of her hard work.

Rex arrives at Adhara who is sitting on a bench, "I notice you got stronger", he said before casually sitting beside her.

Adhara blushes slightly, "I know you need more help"

Hearing this, a smile crept on Rex's face.

But then, he suddenly remembered, 'Wait, Edward wanted to say something about Adhara and it seems like a big deal but what', he thought.

Adhara looks at Rex from the side with an innocent look, "What's on your mind?"

Rex snapped out of his daze, "It's Nothing"

Adhara got suspicious for a moment when suddenly, Rex's phone rings.

'Speak of the devil', Rex thought, Edward called him just after he wonders what he wanted to say about Adhara.

"Hello?"

"Rex come outside, it's still half an hour before the third round start"

"Where are you?"

"Just go to the second floor, I'll be waiting in the toilet"

After saying that, Edward hung up.

"Who is it? Is it your friend?", Adhara asks, it's not an everyday thing Rex got a phone call.

Rex stands up and said, "Yep, just wait here it's just going to take  a minute"

He went out of the backroom under Hera's nag.

"Rex", Rosie called out to him just before he went out of the backroom.

Rex glance at Rosie before he said, "Sorry Rosie, I need to go somewhere real fast don't worry I'll be back"

Hearing this, Rosie can only nod her head.

She looks at Rex fading back before she sighs.

Arriving on the second floor, Rex immediately went to the toilet where Edward is waiting.

'Why does it have to be the toilet', Rex thought.

He went to the toilet and immediately saw Edward picking his nose in the toilet, "Oh Rex! You're here"

"What's the thing you want to talk about? Is it about Adhara?", Rex said, he went straight to the point because his curiosity is killing him right now.

Edward thinks for a moment before saying, "I don't know how to say it, there's no way to ease into it but I think Adhara is sick, she ate a raw mutated beast meat!"

Hearing this, Rex widened his eyes in shock.

Rex looks at Edward with a questioning look, his eyes are judging Edward, "I swear man! I saw her eat the dead mutated beast right in front of my eyes!"

"I don't mean like a little bite to the dead rhino, but dead ass munching it!", Edward said desperately, he tries to mimic how Adhara eats it making him look silly.

Rex studied Edward's expression but it seems like he's telling the truth.

'Why did she eat a dead mutated beast?', Rex thought, he then asks the system about it.

<Adhara is a Half-Werewolf born from the Dark Moon, she cannot become stronger using the moonlight energy. The odd feeling she gets every time she's exposed to the moonlight will make her desperate, this desperation can lead to many things>

'What do you mean by many things? Do you mean that every Half-Werewolf uses their own methods to ease this desperation?'

<Yes, Adhara was born from the Dark Moon. Half-Werewolf born in this moon usually satiate their desperation by eating raw meat because of the Dark Moon devouring nature>

Reading this, Rex frowns hard.

He didn't expect that turning Adhara into a Half-Werewolf will have many implications that he doesn't know.

"Be careful dude, you might be the next person she will eat", Edward said.

Hearing this, Rex punched Edward's shoulder jokingly, "Shut up"

After saying that, Rex and Edward went to the same lifts.

They both are going to the basement, "By the way, who give you that sword? That sword's design looks familiar with Kevin's"

"Kevin is like the fire version of it while yours is the lightning version, it's a weird coincidence considering that Kevin's sister is a Lightning Element", But then, Edward froze when he realizes, "Don't tell me?!"

"I don't know why she borrowed me this okay, she's the one who came to me", Rex said defending himself.

Edward look at Rex with disbelief, he held Rex's shoulder and said, "Dude, I know that Kevin is a pain sometimes but to actually screw his sister, that's not cool"

Rex wanted to punch Edward in the face but they already arrive at the basement.

Without saying anything, Edward ran out of the lift and bolted towards the Faraday University side, "Good luck! and don't get eaten!", he said while running.

Rex got annoyed but Edward already disappears in the corner.

He walks back to the back room, he's still thinking about Adhara, 'If that's the case, then I need to turn her into a full-fledged Werewolf as soon as possible'

"LADIES AND GENTLEMAN! WE'RE REACHING THE END OF THE TOURNAMENT! ROUND THREE WILL START, IT'S A ONE-ON-ONE DUEL THAT WILL DETERMINE THE WINNER!"

The crowd cheer in excitement, their voice is like the chirping of thousands of birds that slightly makes the place tremble.

At this moment, the crowd already knows their idol.

Some of them stick with the Faraday side and some of them started cheering for the Ochyra side, the crowd split evenly between sides.

The match instantly started, the announcer called out each pairing.

Two of the Ochyra University representatives got defeated one-sidedly, from the looks of it, it was clear that Faraday University has better-quality students.

It was looking bad for Ochyra University once again, but Rex already made a plan.

From the start, If they lost to Faraday University in a clean manner then he will acknowledge their loss even surrendering the quest he got from the system.

But now, knowing that Faraday University decided to cheat on the first round. Rex will play dirty as well.

"Wind Spear!"

"Basic Spell! Whip of Fire!"

CLANG!!

Gregg is currently fighting with a number eight, a Fire Elementalist from Faraday University, and they're both evenly matched.

It was hard to predict who will win, both of their mana is decreasing fast.

Gregg waves his wind spear left and right, number eight dodges each of them easily.

Every time Gregg uses a wide swing, number eight dodge it and counterattacked using the fiery whip on his hands.

'They understand a little bit of hand-to-hand combat, unlike Gregg who attacks carelessly', Rex thought, but then he notices something.

It's already been five minutes of fighting, Gregg's mana is almost depleted.

Rex glance at number eight and saw that he's still in good shape, despite his heavy breaths, his attacks are still as strong as the first minute they fought.

Now that he noticed it, the other before was also didn't run out of mana.

Rex didn't need another explanation, he knows that they wear somekind of treasure to help their mana restoration.

'If that's how you play, then so be it', Rex thought.

He's currently watching from inside the backroom, the backroom has windows facing directly to the Arena where Gregg is fighting.

Rex notice Gregg is gathering wind mana like crazy, he puts his all in this final attack.

In the nick of the moment, Rex looks at number eight with immense killing intent.

The killing intent is so thick that number eight can even feel it through the window, it makes him jolted unconsciously.

Number eight got distracted as he glances towards Rex, at that moment when number eight looks at his eyes, "Alpha Intimidation!"

<The enemy's stats has been decreased by 30%>

"Basic Spell! Violent Spear!"

SWOOSH!!

Number eight suddenly felt his power got sucked, he was dazed because of Rex's Alpha Intimidation when suddenly he saw a violent spear made of wind aiming towards him.

He wanted to defend but it was too late, "ARGHH!"

BOOM!

Number eight got hit by the violent spear as his body got flung away crashing to the Arena wall, this makes the crowd stunned.

From the start, number eight already dominated the fight but this suddenly happened.

Gregg was also shocked by his own spell, he doesn't expect that his attack will finish number eight instantly. He even did that as a last-ditch effort, his mana already depleted.

"Winner! Ochyra University!!"

The crowd roared in excitement, it was an unexpected win and they love it.

Hearing this, Gregg snapped out of his daze before he raises his hand and shouted, "YES!! I WON!!"

Rex smiles from the side,

Adhara notices this as she whispers, "You did something didn't you? I can tell from your smile"

"What are you saying, I didn't do anything", Rex said while shrugging his shoulders, his tone was believable but his smiling face was not.

This happened again in the next match, Faraday University lost again because of Rex's Alpha Intimidation.

The victim didn't even know what happened before they suddenly got hit.

Even after they snapped out of their daze and lost, they didn't remember Rex's mental attack that makes them vulnerable.

They only notice Rex is glaring at them.

This event didn't come unnoticed, the principal on the third floor can feel the sudden mental attack but he can't see who is it.

Rex is inside the backroom,

The principal can't see anything because of his angle, he's right on top of Ochyra University's backroom so he can't see Rex doing this.

"Next up! Number two from Ochyra and Number two from Faraday!"

Hearing this, Rex glance at Adhara.

Adhara got called by the announcer, her opponents will be none other than Edward.

"You can do it, don't worry", Rex said.

Hearing this, Adhara nodded her head.

But deep down she knows that fighting Edward who is Rex's friend will not be easy, she even felt it's impossible.

In her perspective, Rex's friend will surely be strong or if not as strong as Rex.

She went into the arena under the crowd's gaze, Edward also enters the arena nonchalantly while putting his hands in his pocket.

"BEGIN!!", the announcer shouted.

They both faced each other, even after the announcer shouted to start they still didn't move from their spot, "Adhara, good luck fighting me", Edward said jokingly.

Hearing this, Adhara chuckles lightly, "For Rex's friend, you're personality is pretty different than him"

Edward smiles before his eyes glance at Rex.

Rex signals Edward to go all out with Adhara, he wanted to assess Adhara's strength.

He then glances back at Adhara, "Well, here I go!!"
