Chapter 343 - Good Mood

Rex left the Faraday University grounds with his all-black clothes,

Even the security that is guarding the entrance of the university was surprised, they thought Rex is a criminal of some sort since the dim night shadowed his face and his all-black outfit.

With his huge muscular frame, it's normal if the security thought that he's not a student.

In the Faraday University, there are no students that even come close to Rex's size even the older ones still lacking in the muscular frame part.

Rex is the biggest guy there is,

Maybe Edward is one of the few that don't look small beside Rex.

When Rex steps closer to the entrance, the security sigh in relief when they saw Rex's face.

There's no one in the Faraday University that doesn't know who Rex is, he's practically the strongest student not only in Faraday University but also other universities.

He has proven that, so everybody here knows him.

Rex walks through the street that still has many people around,

The straight posture with his arms on his side powerfully gives him a more dominant and intimidating presence to anyone that lays their eyes on him, but he didn't care.

All of the people that pass him also instantly know that he's an Awakened.

Since the Amuerus Katana is strapped behind him, it becomes obvious that he's an Awakened.

They all give a polite smile with a bow whenever they pass Rex, but Rex is wearing a hat so his face can't get seen since it'll be troublesome if everyone notices that he's Rex Silverstar.

'I can just use the same item that Adhara uses to go to the Asylum, but I don't wanna', Rex thought.

He will need to rub the lotion on his face in order to morph his face to play it safe, but he can't be bothered to put on lotion on his face.

But he decided to just buy it in case he changed his mind while on his way.

Rex buys the lotion that Adhara use to go to the Asylum but then suddenly, a notification from the system makes him widen his eyes as he instantly erases the thought of using that lotion.

The notification gave Rex goosebumps as he shakes his head putting his thought away.

While walking on the side of the street with steady steps,

Many of the people around was wondering if Rex is uncomfortable walking like that,

Since Rex's body is very straight like an arrow because of the military, his walking posture looks to be tiring and uncomfortable but Rex is already used to this kind of posture.

'Hmm?', Rex stops on his track suddenly, but when he sniffs the air a smile appears on his face.

The smile comes before he sighs while looking up at the clear dark sky.

Moonlight is shining onto his face gently giving a pleasant feeling as he closes his eyes, 

If Rex was to be asked what is the best thing about being a Werewolf, he will definitely say bathing under the moonlight. It feels so damn good.

Think of it like getting a massage in the salon,

That is exactly what Rex or even any Werewolves felt if they stand under the moonlight, the difference from the regular massage is that the moon is using an invisible hand.

Massaging every part that got exposed to the moonlight,

After taking a brief pause under the moon, Rex started to walk again heading towards the Platchi.

Rex arrived at the four-way crossroads where the red traffic light makes the cars stop, he takes a left after arriving at the corner while pulling his black hat down and lowering his gaze.

But then suddenly,

A figure appears and peeks from the corner, it seems the figure is following Rex.

The figure also wears identical black clothes and also a black hat but the figure is also wearing a black face mask, the figure peeked on the corner cautiously but the figure's eyes widen when the figure doesn't find Rex anywhere.

With light steps, the figure steps out from the corner in confusion.

Rex is just like a ghost in the night that disappear into thin air, this makes the figure looks around trying to find Rex but the figure can't find him anywhere. He is already gone.

Only other people can be seen walking around her, there's no sign of Rex.

"Where is he?", the figure mumbles.

But then suddenly, "Looking for me?",  the figure's eyes darted to the right when the figure heard a voice from the back that gives the figure goosebumps.

Rex is already on the figure's back with his eyes blitzing with lightning,

There is even an evil smirk on his face, the figure can't see it but the figure can feel the animosity.

Pushing the figure on the wall beside him roughly, Rex puts his hand below the figure's neck pinning the figure to the wall with a devious expression.

There is a malicious intent that came out of Rex's body,

It was akin to meeting a predator in the jungle where you don't bring any weapon, terrifying.

His eyes then flash with ferocity as Rex pulls back his arms, the smirk on his face turns into a grin making the figure's eyes widen in fright before suddenly, "STOP! STOP! IT'S ME!!"

A female voice escapes the black mask halting Rex's arm,

The figure pulls down the black mask exposing her face, it was Evelyn who smiles wryly with a pale expression since she was almost got a heart attack when Rex pulls back his arm.

She knows how strong Rex is, and one punch from him will mean broken bones at least.

Evelyn is holding her hands up, she was not about to take the punch.

Seeing this, Rex's mouth wobble from stoic and a smile.

It's as if he's trying to hold back his laughter, but Evelyn thought that Rex laughing is impossible.

But after inspecting Rex's expression,

Evelyn noticed that Rex is really holding back his laughter, it makes her frown as she didn't get why Rex wants to laugh, "I-Is there something funny?", she asks with an innocent expression.

But upon seeing her innocent, pale, and confused expression.

Rex burst into laughter while holding his stomach, this caught Evelyn off guard as her body froze seeing Rex laughing as if he just heard the funniest joke in his life.

It went on for a couple of minutes that even Rex falls to his knees while holding his stomach.

Many onlookers also look at Rex and Evelyn weirdly especially since the one that's laughing is Rex while Evelyn is standing stiffly with her back on the wall.

"You- You...", Rex was trying to say something but it's hard to do it while laughing.

After collecting himself enough, he then said, "You should've seen your face"

Hearing this, Evelyn is looking at Rex aghast since she was still confused but then suddenly her eyes widen in realization as she started to get annoyed.

Evelyn pushes her lower lips into a sulky pout, "You know it's me?"

"Are you serious? For a somewhat smart woman you do dumb things sometimes", Rex replied.

Evelyn opened her mouth wide as she looks at her in disbelief, she then rebutted, "Somewhat smart woman? I am smart!", she declared that even makes the onlookers chuckle seeing her declaration and Rex laughing on the ground.

This makes her expression darken as she started to feel embarrassed,

Rex stands up after laughing to his heart's content before Evelyn said in annoyance, "You seem to be in a good mood, I don't like this you should just act like usual!"

"You're just mad realizing that you just did something dumb", Rex replied with a mocking smile.

For Evelyn to sneak on Rex even after she knows that he is a Werewolf, it's almost comical that Rex has never thought Evelyn would be doing such dumb things.

That is what makes it funny for him because it's Evelyn.

Evelyn clenched her fist while biting her lips angrily, she hates to think about it especially when she also realized that was a stupid move of her.

"Anyway, What are you doing here?", Rex asks while wiping his tears.

With a rough exhale, Evelyn then replied, "I saw the look on your face when you're looking at Maurice, It's definitely a look for trouble"

Rex rubs his chin while squinting his eyes,

"But still, How do you know it's me?", Rex asks since he feels that he put enough effort to hide his identity by wearing these all-black clothes and a hat.

Hearing this, Evelyn chuckles giving Rex a mocking look which makes Rex annoyed in turn.

"Are you kidding? Who else would have this kind of physique and come out of Faraday University, at least make it look as if you're trying", she said making Rex looks down at his outfit.

Evelyn then added, "The 25 Families will definitely recognize you"

"Are you Rex Silverstar?", a teen boy not older than 18 suddenly approaches them.

Rex's body froze upon hearing the teen call his name, he looks at Evelyn and finds a mocking grin on her face as he forces a smile to the teen.

Seeing Rex's face, the teenage boy's eyes lit up as he said, "Can I take a picture with you?"

"I'm sorry but maybe next time, I am in a disguise as yo-", Rex replied with a wry smile.

But before he can finish, "Of course, take your phone and take a selfie with him. Rex is a great guy, so he doesn't mind taking a selfie with you"

"Really?! Alright!", the teenage boy takes out his phone and poses with Rex on the back.

The teenage boy's smile was so wide since he's a fan of Rex, while Rex on the other side is also neutralizing his expression and letting the teenage boy take a selfie.

But after the selfie and the boy left, Rex glared at Evelyn, "It's payback for pranking me"

'Is it really that bad?', Rex thought as he look at his outfit.

Rex sigh as puts his hands on his waist, there's a troubled look on his face which makes Evelyn curious, "What are you thinking? Don't just ignore me"

"I have something to hide my face, but I don't want to use it", Rex said.

This makes Evelyn looks at him in disbelief since it's not logical no matter how she thought of it, If Rex has something to hide better then why not just use it as a precaution.

"Are you dumb? Just use it or you'll get into trouble", Evelyn replied in disbelief.

But Rex is still reluctant and it's clearly seen on his face,

Stretching her hand upside down, Evelyn then said, "Just show me the thing that can hide your face, what possible item that can make you reluctant to use it"

A moment later,

"Pffft!", Evelyn holds back her laughter while tending to Rex.

Both of them are currently in a public women's bathroom, Rex is standing in front of the mirror while Evelyn is doing something on Rex's face.

Seeing Evelyn's annoying expression, Rex then said, "This is exactly why"

Evelyn is now using eyebrow pencil on Rex's eyebrows while holding back her laughter, she was having the time of her life as Rex helplessly stands in front of the mirror while letting Evelyn does many kinds of thing to his face.

The item that Adhara uses is cheap and can change anyone's face for a time period,

It's a perfect item for sabotaging or even infiltrating places without having to worry to expose your identity, but there's one side of that item that makes Rex reluctant.

The item is not effective to Black Lightning Elementalist,

Black Lightning Elementalist has hostile mana and disturbance properties which will render the lotion useless, Rex can't use it because of that.

The system said that he can use it by using enhancements,

Rex finds this when he bought the item before, and the system suddenly popped a notification saying that the item can't be used on the user without enhancement.

The system told Rex after he bought it which makes Rex annoyed,

If he knew then he won't buy the lotion, but now the lotion was used anyway.

Because the lotion was not effective to Black Lightning Elementalist, enhancements should be made after applying the lotion to his face.

And the enhancements were in the shape of all kinds of beauty products,

"It's not that bad, you know many men use makeup and this kind of product nowadays", Evelyn said.

But this makes Rex turns his head towards Evelyn with a pissed-off expression with his left eyebrows bent different from the right, "Do I look like that kind of man?", he said grinding his teeth.

Seeing this, Evelyn chuckle before she takes another tool.

It was a blackhead remover tool,

Evelyn just finished changing the way Rex's eyebrows and now she will change his nose, she waves the blackhead remover in front of Rex playfully before she poked it on Rex's nose excitedly.

A couple of minutes later,

Rex looks at the mirror to see how his face turns out,

He puts his hands on the sink before his hands suddenly crushed the sink as he turns to Evelyn, Rex then points at his face and said angrily, "Are you serious?! Is this even a person's face?"

"It's my first time!", Evelyn defended as she hold Rex's face and turns it left and right.

After inspecting Rex's face, Evelyn then nodded her head with a proud look, "It turns out better than I expected", she said which makes Rex's jaw drop.

"My fucking nose is bent to the left, each side of my mouth was not symmetrical, and look at my eyes! I look like a freaking frog!", Rex complained while pointing at the mirror.

Hearing this, Evelyn turns serious, "How dare you insult frogs by comparing your face"

PSHHH!!

Red steaming vapor started to envelop Rex's body as he looks at Evelyn with hostility, he even clenched his hand into a fist.

"I'M JOKING!!", Evelyn shouted in a panic.

After calming Rex down, Evelyn suddenly takes the blackhead remover again before she said excitedly with brimming eyes, "Round 2? It'll surely turn out better"

"No!", Rex denied immediately.

But Evelyn stuck her body closer while pleading to Rex for round two, but Rex tries to push her away but she kept pleading before suddenly.

"That's enough!"

Rex suddenly said before his eyes widen,

Because of trying to push Evelyn away, Rex suddenly finds himself in a spot where he's pinning one of Evelyn's arms on the wall making them close.

If Rex moves forward a bit, his body will definitely touch Evelyn's.

The atmosphere becomes strangely intense as Evelyn and Rex lock their eyes, they both were surprised at how close their face is. Only a couple of inches away.

Rex saw how Evelyn's face started to turn red as she lower her gaze,

Strangely to Rex, he finds it surprising to find Evelyn being embarrassed in this kind of situation when she has even indirectly asked Rex to do intimate things with her.

Her black hat falls to the ground exposing her red hair that is tied into a ponytail.

Everything that Evelyn does, Rex catches it all starting from how her face turns red and even the harsh swallowing that she does for a couple of times.

'This situation is dangerous...', Rex thought wanting to pull away.

But his body was not listening to his head as his hand suddenly moves on its own,

Evelyn can just slip away since Rex only held one of her arms, but she also finds that her body is not listening to herself making her rooted on her spot.

Just like Rex, she also finds the situation is dangerous. Very, dangerous.

Rex's hand moves on its own, he held Evelyn's chin before bringing her face up forcing her to look at Rex's face again. Her face becomes even more scarlet trying to avert Rex's gaze,

The look that she's wearing and her trying to avert Rex's gaze,

He doesn't know why, but somehow Rex finds this side of Evelyn somewhat attractive.

Attractive in its own way,

Rex turns her chin towards him again forcing Evelyn to look at him, his eyes are unmoving from Evelyn's eyes which makes Evelyn's heart thump harder like a battle drum.

But her body went stiff when Rex leans closer,

Looking at this, Evelyn closes her eyes and unconsciously holds her breath, 'No way, I really can't do that'
