2024-10-29 19:42:56The bullies were surprised to approach them in the hallway and they were almost tempted to rub their eyes to make sure that they were not seeing an illusion because if they weren't they would not understand why she was so furious as she was marching towards them.
"Lyra?" one of the bullies called her name when she was finally in front of them, Lyra was the second most popular student in her first year and after that, but unlike Rex, she remained popular on a positive note because she excelled in all her classes though she was not as advanced as Rex was with his fire skill she was one of the leading students in his year.
She had never once looked his way before Rex thought in his mind as she walked towards them.
"Don't you guys ever get tired of picking on Rex, he didn't even do anything to you!"
she said to the bullies as she whipped back her brown hair that had golden highlights.
"Come on, Lyra, are you sure that you saw us right?"
said the only girl among the bullies who had always been jealous of Lyra as well.
"We were just messing around with friends, why are you poking your nose into our business...?!"
"I've already told you guys that none of you is my friend..."
"Shut up you loser!"
Rex looked over to Lyra and then said in a softer tone. But before he could speak the shorter bully grabbed the girl in their group by her waist because she looked like she wanted to pick a fight with the most popular girl in their entire year in fact the university.
"I'll decide what is my business and what is not..." said Lyra confidently as she crossed her hands together.
"And guess what? you guys are causing a little ruckus and bothering someone who didn't even offend you in the first place so now it is my business..."
The bullies, especially the girl amongst them, were now growling like rabid beasts that had been starved for days before they were suddenly let out. While they did not want to show it they knew that the girl Lyra would wipe the floor with them.
But too many people were looking at them at that moment and they knew that if they backed away now they knew that they would become the laughing stock of the whole university.
She was a genius since their first year even though she had initially been overshadowed by Rex and now everyone knew how talented she was so even attempting to pull a fight would be stupid too.
"It's not like we can't totally take you...but we are just going to let this slide cause we are in a good mood..."
Said the tallest in the group signalling the others to come along with him while Lyra tilted her head with an almost amused smirk.
"Lucky me, I wonder what would have happened if it wasn't for the chances that I caught you in such a generous mood..."
As they were going the shorter male glared at Rex giving him a dirty look with his eyes.
"Speaking of luck, good thing your girlfriend showed up right?
"She's not my girlfriend!"
He said glaring at the bullies after they said that
"Yeah lucky him, why didn't you start hiding behind her sooner?"
Said the taller guy and then Rex could not take it anymore, he wasn't even the one that called her over, she was the one that came to help him by herself and they were making it seem as if he would be shivering in a corner if she hadn't shown up.
"You guys don't just like spouting nonsense, so why don't you try proving all your big talk?"
"I think I should be saying that to you, you are the one that is always acting all big," said the bully.
"Fine, let's do this Kelvin..."
Rex called the bully by his name.
"in the next exam if you score higher than me then I will give you 100 gold bars..."
Everyone was looking at him with utter shock, a hundred gold bars? Did he live in a mining cave because that was the only way a university student could possess that much gold unless he was royalty?
"Deal..."
The bully said bringing out his hand to give them a handshake to confirm the deal.
"You understand that if you have to deliver a hundred gold bars when you lose right?"
After Rex said that without holding out his hand to shake the bully the other boy looked as if he was to pop out all the veins in his head.
"I can't wait to wipe that cocky look on your face...let's go guys..."
After the bullies left reality began to creep back into Rex's mind while he was a genius he only had two enchantments, one he had only begun enhancing and levelling up which was a huge disadvantage on his part.
"Are you okay?"
He nearly jumped out of his skin when I felt the hand on his shoulder and then he turned and confirmed that it was Lyra.
"Are you okay Rex?"
he sighed.
"I'm fine, and I don't mean to sound ungrateful or anything like that but it's best you don't butt into anything that concerns me in future..."
"But why?"She asked him in a confused tone."Why?"
He said, taking his fingers through his head.
"Why would you in the first place? don't you like being popular or would you rather be infamous and bullied like me?"
The girl looked down for a moment and then back at him.
"I don't care what people like them say anyways so you don't have to worry about that..."
Rex shook his head.
"I actually do..."
he said, turning his back on her.
"Where are you going? To class, I can walk with you..."
Once again he shook his head, refusing her offer.
"Thanks but I don't need your protection, let's just keep being strangers…"

After he made a bet with the bullies that became the new hot topic at the University of Jared, everyone was talking about it eventually it got to the ears of the professors and then one professor took a particular interest in it, a lanky disciplinarian had graduated from the University for over three decades as the best of his year.So he summoned both of the boys to his office because he wanted to make some things clear."A wizard's word is not to be taken lightly..."he said to both of them."... and in this university, we did not only teach you how to hone your powers, but how to become responsible members of society that can handle this power... and responsible people do not lie or go back on their word..."The reason for his long speech was actually that he wanted to get involved in the bet. He had been one of the professors that had been most disappointed when Rex stopped developing.He had hoped that he would be the student that would finally break his record, so after hearing

As soon as both of them walk into the library together eyes were already being targeted at them and Rex casually looked at Lyra to see her reaction to all of this she was just walking beside him as if she did not notice the people that were staring at them and even whispering too.He could already guess what they were thinking, what was the most popular girl in the entire University doing with the biggest loser. She decided that she was going to leave eventually the moment she saw her people were going to be treating her differently so he did not have to worry himself too much about lecturing her."I've noticed you are coming often to the library these days... rather than the training hall..."she said to him as he was casually relaxing in his seat, initially, he wanted to ask how she knew his daily routine but then he waved it off and just decided to focus on studying there was no way he could get 100 gold bars so he had to pass this exam."Rex it seems that you are a very quiet pers

The professor was surprised to see Lyra sitting next to work, but he did not make any comments about it and just went home with the important announcement that he had come to tell them in the first place. "The exams have been adjusted by the higher council of wizards that run this University which I am also a member of I must note..." Rex began to feel his breathing becoming regular but he maintained a straight face because you could sense that the girl sitting next to him was staring at him intensely as if she was trying to shoot a hole through his head then his eyes remained on the professor as the man said that the decision to adjust the exams had gone through a lot of thorough examination and had been seen as the best decision. "There is going to be a group section of the exam, so if you do well in your other classes but then you fail in the group work it is seen as an overall failure..." As soon as the professor said this the entire hall was taken over by every morning as the

After both he and the girl collided with each other Rex saw stars for a few seconds before his bearings finally came back to him and then he got up he saw that the girl was still struggling to get up as well and so he held his hand with an apology."Sorry, I didn't see you there..."Immediately his hand was slapped away after you made that comment and she glared at him with eyes burning like freshly lit flames."What do you mean you can't see me? Am I some kind of mushroom that is so tiny that it is impossible for you to see me?"After she made that comment he took a closer look at her physique and you tried not to laugh when how small she was someone would have easily confused her for a child that was crossing 15 or 14 but if she was in the university she was bound to be older than that as there was a certain age restriction for entrance into the magical University."I didn't mean it like tha-""Rex doesn't mind her, that's just how she is and I could clearly see that she was the one

As Rex walked into the dorm he could feel that somebody was following him but he pretended not to notice and kept walking towards his room it became more and more of yours and it was hard to avoid. This disturbing stalker kept following him until he finally stopped and turned.He was not surprised to see that it was his bully Kelvin that had been following him all along, and he sighed."Look whatever you have to say, can it wait till tomorrow? I need to recharge my energy right now..."As always the bully had an entourage following him, Rex could not remember a single time that he had ever seen the boy in front of him alone even when he was in the washroom he would still have somebody following him like a lost familiar."You seem to be getting cocker and cocker every day, anyways I don't have much to say. I just want to wish you good luck on your duel tomorrow."The bully said with a snicker as he looked at his friends."But I guess that you don't need any luck when you have your girl
REX: The Powerful Being Chapter 16
The next morning Rex woke up with the duel in his mind he knew that there was no way he could lose, for one that will make him a bigger joke in the school when he was still trying to get up his image, and also he would have to apologize to that rude small girl that had a tongue that was a sharp as a dagger. But he was still curious why Lyra didn't want that girl in their team well there was only one way to find out and that was to ask her again today, but as he was arranging his bed he hoped that it was something that could be overlooked because he was still struggling to even find a fourth member of their group and the deadline was getting closer by the day. When he was done arranging his bed he looked at his roommates and the other boy seemed as if he was going to jump out of his skin. "What do you want now?" Even though his tone was still not friendly Rex could sense that his voice was trembling as he spoke to him. "Well I realize that you changed the lock yesterday, someth

None of the students was actually focused on the class that was going on even though they were supposed to be because their exams were coming up and they were very close. Instead, all of them were placing their bets on who would lose and who would win the duel that was going to happen after classes. Of course, as it was going to be held in the university training hall, they would first have to gain the permission of a professor who would also observe the duel so that it would not go too far and there would be no cheating or serious injuries out of it. The professor that they got permission from was called Prof Gregor who taught magical history and culture, he was usually easygoing but could draw the line when his students were coming unruly.Before the duel began Rex had asked Lyra if she had any information about his opponent and then she told him, as they were walking along the hallways towards the training hall after classes that the girl was mostly a wind enchantment user even

The time limit for the deal was about to end and if that happened without either of them taking the other down then it would be a draw. Both of them were waiting right now and especially Miranda was looking very exhausted from the fight that had already gone past an hour she was throwing everything she had in each attack and that was why she was getting more fatigued. Initially, he was waiting for her to drain herself so that he could easily subdue her and then he would easily win the fight however she was not allowing him to get close to her and she was becoming more aggressive by the moment as adrenaline was pumping through her body. "don't you think you are taking this a little too far?'' he asked her, concerning his voice and then she looked like him and scoffed. "You must seriously be joking right now, just admit it you know I'm going to win that's why you want me to give up." As she was saying this habit was ragged, and he could see that she was only moments away from col

Then she began to sob and then Lyra placed a comforting hand on her shoulder even though she felt like crying herself Rex could not be here to see his friends like this all know that one of them was gone so he turned to the Head wizard and asked if there was any way he could give them Crystal's location. He looked pensive about this for a moment for when he saw how dismayed his niece was he finally gave them the information that they were looking for and even prepared a carriage for them along with a letter that would permit them to miss class

"Pathetic, and you call yourself a noble!" This was something that Miranda had gotten used to being told every single day of her life from the moment that she had been born that she was a failure that would one day disgrace the family and she was pathetic. All these things that they her she swallowed like a sponge and I've solved it into her life so before she would even make an attempt at learning anything the first thing that would come to her mind was; failure. She tried to hide it by talking loud and acting as if it didn't affect her even though she would immediately talk about how she was sure somebody was looking down on her. On the night before her departure to the magical Jerard University, her father called her into his study and then he briefed her on a lot of things one particularly stood out."I'm taking you to a Uni, where even someone as pathetic and useless as yourself cannot fail…high scores are practically dished out to nobles, the only thing that you have to do

"Have you eaten today?" Those were the first words that she ever said to him and the first time they had ever been that close he used to see her before in places around campus surrounded by a couple of friends. Sometimes they were more, sometimes to be less but each time she spent on them like there was no tomorrow.The questions that came from her lips were so peculiar, that he had to lift his head and look her up in the eyes when normally he would have just kept his eyes planted on his book without even sparing high class since he was just that unenthusiastic about people."I'm sorry what?"She placed her hands on her hips and repeated her question as if there was nothing out of place for one stranger to ask another if they had eaten."I don't see how that's your business"Crystal never got the chance to complete that blunt sentence before his stomach growled loudly in the lecture Hall but luckily for him most

Crystal paused for a few breaths as he was climbing up the stairs that would later lead to the hallway that would further lead into the head wizard's office. "What kind of trouble has that girl gotten into now?" He mumbled under his breath as he kept walking faster and faster even though his body was really against it he remembered the words of the healer wizard that had treated him. "You have a very weak constituency …" the healer wizard, who was even blunter than he deadpanned, the healer wizards were known as the most unsympathetic type which was kind of ironic because their job was mostly treating others that had been injured. But then again it fits perfectly for the job because they are passiveness to many emotions such as empathy made it easier for them to function in their job without constantly breaking down or worrying much, however, this was still an ethic of their work that made people very reluctant to go towards them because of how emotionless they were.

Two days flew by in the blink of an eye the only thing that made me feel drugged was the fact that Miranda and Crystal had not settled their issues rather they are the most even sat down to table the fact that they had issues at all and so the chances of them even having to talk about not settling the issues had not even come yet. In the meantime, crystal seem to be isolating himself from the entire group altogether and then there was Miranda trying to love-bomb them from the way things appeared, she would buy them all sorts of lavish gifts as if she was trying to burn out her entire allowance before the session would even end and most of the time they had to return the gifts or at least try to. Her response to this was to squint her eyes cross her hands and then glare at them as if she was waiting for the fire to burst out of those eyes."Where are both of you being so fussy it's just a couple of gifts, the polite thing would be to accept them and just say thank you."

A clash between Miranda and Crystal was not something that the group had ever really expected to happen, even though Crystal was naturally blunt to everyone including Miranda, there was a special kind of patience that you have for all the members of his team, especially Miranda. He will take care of her as if she was her arranged guardian or something like that, no matter how much she seem to have done something that would have normally irked him, but it appeared as if he had been holding back a lot of feelings for a long time and does bottle of feelings are finally exploded in the outburst that happened in the healer's building.Miranda on her own part was expecting him to have an abyss full of patience for her and when he didn't meet that expectation she also flared up as well.Honestly, they both said hurtful things to each other but the only issue now is who was going to put his or her pride away first to apologize and save the friendship.
