REX: The Powerful Being

Chapter 12

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 person, you haven't made a single comment about anything that hasn't been said since..."

He looked up at her, closing the book that he had found on the table for reading when he came there.

"As I said we are just studying together, but that does not mean that we are friends or anything like that.."

she smiled, placing her head on her hands that were folded together.

"You don't have to worry about that at all, I've never wanted to be your friend in the first place..."

"you didn't?"

Rex was surprised by her response, he thought with the way the girl was following him like a lost familiar that she probably wanted to be his friend.

"You probably don't know this about me but I'm from a very important family. I also plan to graduate as the best student in this university...."

As she was saying this she was flipping through the book that was in front of her but she was satisfied that she had more of Rex's attention.

"So the thing is that nobody really gives me the thrill of a challenge. It's so boring because I feel like everything is practically being handed to me on a silver platter... and when I heard about you I was so excited to finally find a worthy opponent..."

At this point, she had full attention. He thought that she just wanted to be his friend but she was breaking his expectations because she wanted something totally different.

"So what are you trying to say with all of this?"

he said to her, closing the book in his hands and placing it carefully on the table while giving her an unblinking gaze.

"I want to see you at your strongest so that I will finally have a worthy challenge, and with that, I will know that I have truly earned the title of the strongest wizard and make my family proud...."

Rex actually found himself being a little impressed.

it seemed that the girl was more like him than he had expected and for now, she could be a useful alliance.

"No wonder you don't mind people looking down on you, as long as you get what you want..."

She smiled and nodded, affirming what he had said. He was a bit surprised that she was being so forward but that was not important at the moment he stood up from his seat and then put it back into place inside the table.

"I've heard about your skills but I've never really seen you fight properly. Do you mind having a sparring match with me?"

her eyes seem to glitter like gems asking that question.

"you don't really mean it!"

she said, bolting up from her chair, almost knocking it down to the ground.

"Let's go!"

she held his hand trying to pull him out of the library but then he shook his head peeling off her hand.

"We can't spar now, we'll be having a class in a few minutes so after classes, I will be able to truly analyze your skill..."

"you won't be disappointed!"

she said with determination burning in her eyes he just simply tilted his head with a shrug " I'm afraid that you might get disappointed by me though I'm flattered with all these things you're saying it's possible that I might just end up with these two enchantments and remain the freak of the school."

"Don't worry about that Rex I'll never let that happen, "

she said in a very determined voice.

"No matter what happens, even if the other students keep trying to get you expelled, I'm going to make sure that that also never happens so that we can have our epic battle..."

After saying this she then said to him,

"So should we start heading to class now?"

as they were walking back to class together the whispers were getting worse and it seemed like people were trying to bury them with their eyes.

"Lyra, are you really sure you are fine with all of this? some people seem like they're going to push you down the stairs when you're not looking soon..."

she just smiled and waved a hand.

"I wouldn't pay any attention to them, the person that I want to focus on is right next to me so even if I wanted to pay some attention to those people that have nothing to do I wouldn't be able to..."

Rex finally sighed giving up on lecturing the girl genius anymore after all it was her whole life if she started getting bullied and people started harassing her at least his conscience would be clear knowing that he had warned her that all of these things will happen soon after they walked into the class the prof also came in as well with a very stern expression.

"I have an announcement for all of you concerning your forthcoming exams."
