Chapter 53 Sensing The Plot Before It Started
Rosie gets into her battle stance, she's putting all of her focus on Lyn fearing she might not go to Faraday University with Adhara and Rex.
She predicts Adhara will definitely win the next round,
If Adhara is not giving her all when fighting against Rosie, then her combat power will be immensely powerful compared to the other students.
During her spare time when she's not with Rex, Rosie always trains hard thinking back to when they're in Vouver City.
Not only she can't give too much impact, but she is also almost unable to defend Laura.
Rosie inhales a deep breath while closing her eyes, she then exhales while refocusing on Lyn who's legs are already enhanced by the wind element.
Wind Elementalist is known for their speed, the wind elements are unrivaled in terms of speed.
"Boost!", Rosie also enhanced her speed preparing for Lyn's attack.
Lyn is a girl with brown hair, she looks normal in terms of look but the scar on her hand makes her look like a fierce woman.
"Wind Wave!!"'
SWOOSH!!
A gust of wind blows the Arena hard, Rosie raises her sword in front of her to block the gust of wind.
The wind is so strong that it actually manages to lift Rosie from the ground,
Lyn squats a little before jumping towards Rosie,
Her hands are covered with wind elements that are shaped like a knife, she swung her hands at Rosie intending to slash her.
Rosie waves her hand as the wind blows to push her down, she dodges Lyn's attack and sent out a kick to her stomach.
Lyn didn't intend to block, she also sends a punch to Rosie's face.
BAM!!
Both attacks landed solidly but to Lyn's surprise, Rosie's kick is heavier than what she expected.
"Huakh!!", Lyn wailed in pain as she was being pushed backward.
"They both are on equal footing"
p
Rex is watching Rosie's fight seriously, he saw that Lyn is taking heavy breaths in between the fight, unlike Rosie who still looks great.
Rosie's amazing figure is not just for show, she trained hard to get that kind of curve and her stamina pays off.
Noticing the momentary advantage, Rosie dashes and deliver slash after slash towards Lyn.
Rosie's hand is like a blur as she dances around with a sword on her hand, Lyn can only hold her hand imbued with wind element up trying to block Rosie's attack.
Slash! Slash!
Lyn's arms are bloodied, the wind element that is covering her arms is not strong enough to block Rosie's countless slashes.
Rosie raises her sword and swung heavily down but suddenly,
The wind elements on Lyn's hand tremble, she caught Rosie's sword, "Twisting Snake!"
WHOOSH!!
Rosie was caught off guard, Lyn is as fast as her but still grabbing her sword is not what she expected to happen.
The wind becomes a gushing gust that coils around Rosie, the wind is like a snake made of wind that is wrapping around her body restraining her.
Rosie gritted her teeth, she can't move!
Looking at this, Lyn smirks in satisfaction, she then dashes towards Rosie intending to finish her off but suddenly,
Rosie's eyes turn green, the wind mana inside his body becomes violent.
Lyn stopped in her track feeling the immense mana circulating inside Rosie, she remembers this attack that Rosie use to almost beat Adhara.
She wanted to back off but she was too slow,
"Way of Enlil! First stance, Wind Pillar!"
BOOM!!
Lyn got rooted on her spot before the ground beneath her exploded with gusts of wind, she was flung into the air.
She felt her body ache because of the attack, "Akhh!"
Rosie then appears right beside Lyn as her eyes glow green, "Second stance, Wind Eruption!!"
Her sword trembles uncontrollably, the wind mana gathered towards her sword before she thrust forward forcefully.
WHOOSH!!
Swiftly after, a wind hurricane slams towards Lyn's body as she spat out a mouthful of blood.
The hurricane slammed to Lyn and flung her to the Arena ground forcefully,
BAM!!
Lyn felt the air inside her lungs escaped from her lungs, she lies on the ground helplessly feeling pain all around her body.
Rosie landed on the ground beside her as she points the sword at her neck,
"Winner for this match! Rosie!", the referee announced after seeing that Lyn can no longer fight.
Rosie was standing still, then suddenly she jumped in joy, "YES!! I WON!!"
"WOOHOO, Nice match Rosie!!"
"That spell is so strong!! I think it's a middle-grade spell!"
The students clapped their hands respecting Rosie as its winner, they also fear Rex if they didn't clap for Rosie.
Rosie looks in Rex's direction,
Rex raises both of his thumbs up congratulating Rosie, he is also mesmerized by Rosie's spell and thought, 'Just a bit more and I can use spells like this'
Rosie got down from the Arena while jumping happily,
She arrives at Rex and said, "How was it? I'm strong right!!"
Rex chuckles seeing Rosie's childish behavior, but nevertheless, he nodded his head agreeing with Rosie's statement lest she throws a tantrum.
"You'll surely get a spot at Faraday University", Rex said confidently.
Hearing this, Rosie got even motivated and nodded her head.
The match continues as usual, the intensity of the fight becomes fiercer because only stronger students are left during the match.
Adhara got into a match with class 1-D but she easily defeated him using her overwhelming speed because of the agility rune.
Her opponents didn't have a chance to even land a hit on Adhara before getting knocked out of the Arena.
Rosie's next match was also held today,
Her opponent is another student from class 1-D but he immediately concedes, 'No need to fight Rosie and becomes Rex's enemy, I'll just concede the fight', he thought.
The student glance in Rex's direction, he saw Rex staring at him fiercely.
He immediately turns his head away breaking the eye contact, he was scared shitless because of Rex's gaze.
Unknown to him, Rex is oozing off while staring at him.
He is thinking about how to get gold to buy a higher-rank affinity so he can become a rank three quickly, his thinking face does indeed looks scary though.
With that, Rex, Adhara, and Rosie got a spot for each of them.
Gregg and his group are watching Rex from afar, they have a darkened expressions on their faces.
"Shit! Can't believe Adhara and Rosie got a spot!"
"Yeah, How can we make a trap for Rex if both of them will be beside him all the time"
Gregg was deep in thought, he also didn't feel confident in his plan, 'Rex alone is already enough of a threat but now adding Adhara and Rosie it is impossible to trick him'
Just as he was in thought, the girl that suggests killing Rex opened her mouth.
"Are you guys stupid? Having Rex's girls come will make the task a thousand times easier", she said confidently.
The others look at her in confusion, "Gaby, What do you mean?", Gregg asks.
Gaby scoffed and replied, "Although Adhara is probably as strong as you, Rosie is only an early rank three"
She then smiles evilly and continues, "We can just gang up on her and kidnap her, then Rex will have no choice but to come to us"
Hearing this, the other's eyes lit up.
They then also smile evilly while glancing at Rex and Rosie, killing intent filled their gaze.
Rex was chatting with Rosie when suddenly,
<DING!!>
<Sudden Quest!!>
<Killing Intent!
There is a malicious killing intent towards you, Find the culprit and kills them!
Quest Rewards: 5,000 Exp, 2500 Gold, and Medium-Grade Mana Charm Elixir>
Rex was surprised by the Sudden Quest, he then snaps out of his daze as he looks around him.
He then notices Gregg is staring at him but turns his head away when he was caught looking at Rex, Rex then smiles brutally, 'I'm planning to ignore you but you decided to kill me, let's see who kills who'
Gregg and his group are also smiling brutally thinking about the day they kill Rex, little did they know that Rex already knows about their plan.
Somewhere in Ratmawati City,
There is an underground city that is full of people wearing masks and black robes, they have one thing in common that is the black crow badge on their chests.
The people in here are all tending to their business when suddenly a visitor came to their city,
The visitors consist of two people, one male, and one female.
They are called visitor because their clothes clearly differentiate them from the others, the male wears elegant all-white clothes that has a gold chain decorating it while the female wears haggard brown clothes that looks shabby.
Both of them look in their late twenties or even early thirties, judging from their mature aura.
Out of nowhere, a figure appeared in front of them.
He's not different than the others, the only key difference he wears a crow mask that emits a fire gas and there is a six-headed crow badge on his chest.
"Who are you guys?", the masked figure asks coldly, he didn't even bother covering his rank six power threatening the visitors.
The male visitor then bows politely and replied, "I am Devan and this besides me is Liliya, we are here as the chosen green recruits"
Hearing this, the masked man raised his brows.
"Show me your tattoo! If it's fake, don't even think of getting out of here alive", the masked man said fiercely, his voice is muffled because of the mask but that instead adds an eerie tone to him.
Devan and Liliya both sweat because of the threat, they both then immediately show each of their tattoos.
Devan's tattoo is located on his chest while Liliya's tattoo is located on her thighs.
The masked man approaches both of them, his hands are glowing with red energy.
He then taps both of the tattoos with the red energy, the energy looks scorching hot but instead of hot Devan and Liliya felt a cool feeling from the red energy.
Immediately after getting tapped,
The Devan's and Liliya's crow tattoo's eyes lit up with a green hue, the green energy is fighting back the red energy before both of the energy dissipated.
Looking at this, the masked man lowers his aura, "So you are the Green Messenger's team, just wait here", he said after hawking at Devan and Liliya top to bottom.
After saying that, he disappeared instantly.
Not long after, a green mist suddenly appeared in front of them and reveals the Green Messenger wearing his usual mask.
"Welcome to the Stygian Crow Organization, Please follow me", he said lazily as if his soul is not there with him.
Devan and Liliya looks at each other before following,
The three of them walk to the center of the city where a huge black castle lies majestically.
It is made of grey bricks that look ordinary, but the castle itself takes a huge chunk of land in the middle of the city.
After entering the castle, Devan and Liliya gasp in shock.
The inside of the castle is contrasting with its outside, the inside is golden in color with many big pillars. The chandelier has many diamonds and gems decorating it, the floor is a red carpet, maids and butlers also walking around busily.
It is simply more luxurious than anything they have ever seen, there are many unusual decorations inside the castle.
Devan looks around him and notices a big black skin that still has its fur that is on display inside a glass box, the skin is located in a room that can be seen through the crack of the door.
The skin is so big that inside the room is only the glass box.
When Devan looks at it carefully, he saw a dark blue rune on the skin that emits a terrifying amount of mana.
After realizing what it is, Devan widened his eyes in shock as he stumbles backward.
Thud!
Devan's shoulder nudge Liliya's back, she then looks at Devan weirdly.
She follows Devan's eyes and saw the black-furred skin on display inside a room, she immediately notices what it is, 'That... An Enchanter!!'
An Enchanter is a title given to Supernaturals that is highly skilled in strengthening spells, they are usually the first to be targetted in war because their spells make even a rank two Supernatural to almost have a rank four power!
Because of their crucial role in the war, the Enchanter is usually heavily guarded or located in the middle of an Army that makes killing one of them an impossible task before defeating the army.
'To think this organization can kill an Enchanter, based on its overwhelming mana it must be a very, very high-ranking Enchanter too', Liliya thought in surprise.
She now has more respect for the organization, her body even trembles in excitement.
The Green Messenger leads them to the west side of the castle, they saw many people the same age as them with different robe colors.
The three of them arrived at a big door,
On top of it, there is a big sign that says 'Green Recruit'
Below the sign, there is also a small sign that says, 'Green is Luck, Green is Tranquility, Green is Nature. Green is good but be wary of the Green Messenger'
In front of the big door, the Green Messenger suddenly turned around and said, "This will be your place, you can come and go as you please but you must follow these rules"
Devan and Liliya were silent listening to the Green Messenger, their view on this organization that has just saved them turned 180 degrees because of the Enchanter before.
Then he continues, "First, You must clear at least one mission every month. Second, You will swear loyalty to the SCO. Third, you cannot share about all the things related to the SCO"
Hearing this, both Devan and Liliya nodded their head in understanding.
Then, Liliya asks with a timid tone, "Umm, How do you know that we are loyal and never talks about the SCO to others?"
Hearing this, the Green Messenger smirked, "Oh trust me, we know. Oh I almost forgot, the mission can only be done by a group of three"
Green Messenger wanted to leave the two but suddenly he stopped and said, "The ritual for the swear of loyalty and secret promise will be held after the third member arrives here"
"Where's our third member?", Devan asks with curiosity.
"You will meet him soon, he's young so don't expect too much", the Green Messenger said before vanishing into green gas.
