The next day,


    Rex stands strong with apletely stern expression while waiting for the receptionist in front of him to finish registering something in the holographicputer. Under such intense expression, the receptionist can be seen crumbling under pressure.


    Mistakes are bound to happen, and the receptionist''s move bes clumsy.


    Knocking the papers, repeatedly pressing a button on the screen, and even knocking the coffee on her table that she just bought five minutes ago. It''s early in the morning, usually, this ce doesn''t have any signing people until nine.


    But today a big surprise is already waiting for her, the hottest head family there is. Rex Silverstar.


    "My apology sir Rex, I- I''ll be finished in a couple more minutes. If- If you don''t mind, I suggest waiting in the waiting room. When you''re registered, I will personally notify you"


    "No problem, I''ll wait here"


    Just like her entire hope crashing in front of her eyes, the receptionist''s expression turns stiff. Rex doesn''t know but he just makes the receptionist even more nervous, the only chance of her working normally has been declined and thrown down the drain by that simple answer from Rex.


    ''Why can''t he take the hint...''


    Thinking to herself with a polite smile, the receptionist was forced to continue the registration. Her hands are shaking and even be cold with Rex standing right in front of her nonchntly.


    Dealing with a high-rank figure across Ratmawati City is normal for her, that''s her job as a receptionist at Awakened Transcendence Stadium in sector 2. The biggest private arena that is usually used by numerous Awakened from the top ten families to train.


    Naturally, registering and making an appointment are her daily activities.


    But standing in front of her is not just an Awakened from the top ten families of 25 Golden Crest, but he''s also the head family of the newly established Silverstar Family. The hottest head family and some even consider him the dime of Awakened in this era.


    Feeling her face burning from Rex''s gaze, the receptionist tries to make haste with her work.


    Rex waited while looking around the interior of Awakened Transcendence Stadium, it was his first time being here but it''s natural and normal. Only the top ten families are allowed here. Due to the Silverstar Family''s odd position, it seems he can also register here.


    As expected of a ce dedicated to the best of the best, the interior doesn''t disappoint.


    ''I quite like this ce...''


    The interior is spotless showing the effort to maintain the professionalism of the ce, the subtle music in the background coupled with the sound of the water from the big fountain next to the receptionist desk gives a rxing atmosphere inside the building.


    Even better than that, Rex can smell the fragrant vani-like scent. Warm and fruity, it''s probably cinnamon. The perfectbination to the freezing cold interior dominated by luxurious marble.


    Rex has decided to check the arena here, the training ground in the mansion is not suitable.


    Although it''s pretty advanced and good for training with many technologies that even Rex doesn''t know a whole lot about, the design is certainly made for training and testing things out. Fighting or sparring is not inside the architect''s mind when making that training ground.


    Because of that, he decided to check this ce that pops out first when he searches on the inte.


    ''I hope there are no cameras inside, there shouldn''t be one if this ce is made for Awakened from the top ten families. They demand privacy, of course. A generic condition from them''


    Even though it''s unlikely that the arena here is equipped with CCTVs based on the reason that he thought of before, it''s not going to hurt him to be careful. Adhara and Giste certainly will go all out. And in order for them to do that, they will be turning into their Werewolf forms.


    Auras or energiesing from them are not a problem, there are runes to help them with that.


    But of course, that is if Adhara and Giste really listened to him and give it their all. If not then he will be the one punishing both of them, the anger inside him got vexed again from the incidentst night.


    "Sir Rex, we''ve got the affirmation and have registered you to the server. Here''s your member card. Are you going to reserve an arena for today or for some time in the future?", the receptionist finally grasp back her professionalism as she gives a ck card to Rex. It''s the member card of the Awakened Transcendence Arena, and there''s Rex''s name written in golden letters on it.


    Rex gives the ck card a brief nce, he then looks back at the receptionist.


    "Can you give me a tour of the avable arenas? I''ll be booking it for today if it matched my taste"


    "dly. Please follow me, Sir"


    With that, the receptionist takes a tablet with her before guiding Rex to the hallway on the other side of the receptionist desk. The building is only two stories high but is very long and shaped like a rectangle. The arenas should be on the back.


    Following the receptionist, he''s guided through many doors and even the garden part.


    About a minute after walking behind the receptionist as her high-heels make a clicking sound that echoes through the hallway, Rex nce to the right when he saw a long window exposing some people that looks to be professors with an Awakened wearing all kinds of electronics on them.


    "I may not be aware of this, but does this ce host experimentation too?"


    "You mean this? This is more like a testingb for new inventions surrounding technologies, it''s a part of the Weapon Development department of the UWO"


    "Is that so..."


    Rex looks through the window and finds some Awakened holding a sword madepletely of electronics, it''s powered by an energy core on the crossguard. Futuristic weapons one might say. The Awakened grabs the sword before he activates his fire element and imbued fire mana into the sword.


    Under Rex''s surprise gaze, the sword burns with a zing fire that turns the insides reddish.


    Not stopping at that, the powering from the burning sword bes greater than that of the Awakened. It''s like an amplifier of the Awakened''s element, and Rex was surprised that such an invention existed. But then again, humanity before the Supernatural Emergence is technology-based.


    It shouldn''t be a surprise if there are some researches funded by the UWO such as this.


    Although any kind of weapon made with necessary materials and also runes can also do that, they require extensive development by experts, and one wrong move will make the sword break or the Awakened be engulfed in their own element.


    For humanity to somehow finds a way to incorporate technology and element together, it''s going to be one hell of a breakthrough that might tilt the tidal of the war. Mass producing this kind of weapon will amplify Awakened''s power on humanity by a mile.


    ''At least Sebrof did one thing useful, keep up the good work''


    Rex and the receptionist arrives in front of a huge door that is at least 25 feet high, it''s quite a big door that towers over any humans or even Supernaturals if they''re put into consideration. After stopping in front of the big door, the receptionist then steps forward.


    "Since you''re new here, I will be apanying you to open the door during your time here"


    The receptionist then taps the screen on the door making a couple of beeping sounds, she puts a password, eyes recognition, fingerprint recognition, and even elemental recognition before the lock finally opened.


    With a gentle push from the receptionist, the door slowly opened automatically.


    Nothing but white, Rex was greeted by the entire arena as big as a ser fieldpletely epassing with white color. It was minimalistic but there are some gadgets protruding on the walls that he doesn''t know what they do.


    Stepping inside the arena and looking around, Rex nodded his head finding that it was big enough.


    "One of our best avable arenas,pletely covered with formation enhancing the walls and blocks the sound. The ground is also equipped with a new invention called Psi Holoadapter, it can change the ce into whatever you wish including sounds, environment, and everything to mimic the experience of fighting on the front line"


    Rex nodded his head repeatedly as he looks around the ce.


    But instead of inspecting the room as he was portraying to the receptionist, Rex is trying to find anything that act and functions simr to a CCTV. It''s the only type of technology that can expose him and definitely spill his doom in humanity''s territory.


    Wanting to show the feature, the receptionist altered the ce through a holographic screen.


    Under Rex''s eyes, the entire ce slowly turns into the familiar barren ins in front of the Great Barricade with the full moon shining down from the sky. It almost manages to perfectly mimic the feeling of the actual ce, even the warmth from the moonlight can be felt directly on his skin.


    If not for the electronics that are bleeping and can be felt, Rex might feel he''s really outside.


    Seeing Rex closing his eyes to feel the moonlight that almost feels real, the receptionist feels a little bit proud despite not being the one creating the invention but the one showing it to Rex. Opening his eyes, he then turns to face the receptionist again.


    "Does the ceiling of this ce be opened too?"


    "Of course, everything can be essed through the control screen. You can ess it simply by saying control screen and the sensor will summon it"


    Hearing this, Rex nodded his head feeling that this ce is perfect.


    "Does this arena suit your taste, sir Rex?"


    "Very... I really like the ce and I will book this arena for tonight around eight. Is that possible?"


    "Of course, I''ll reserve the ce for you"


    After saying that the receptionist instantly taps on her tablet intending to book this arena for Rex, she was quite happy with Rex''s reaction to the arena. She was booking the arena but her attention was attracted back to Rex.


    "It might bete to ask this, but who is overseeing this ce?"


    "Well, I''m not authorized to tell that information freely but since you seem to have a good rtionship with the person itself I might as well tell you. President Sebrof oversee the ce himself, I ask him for permission earlier to approve of your membership here"


    "President Sebrof huh..."


    Rex rubs his chin before looking back at the arena but this time with a new light in his eyes. He looks in a certain direction at the corner ceiling of the arena before a smirk appears on his face, it''s like he''s looking at someone there.


    The receptionist doesn''t know why he asked that but she instantly went back to the tablet, she didn''t catch Rex''s smirk. But as she was booking the arena, she suddenly felt a cold wind brushing her body.


    Instantly after that, the receptionist then heard Rex mutters softly.


    "There''s one more thing I''d like to check, please don''t panic"


    The receptionist lifted her eyes off of the tablet in her hand upon hearing what Rex said, but her eyes widen seeing a powerful wave of lightning explode from Rex''s body. Every inch of his body started to sizzle with snake-like ck lightning slithering and bearing the full might of his Ultimate Mid-Rank Element.


    It''s her first time seeing such a powerful elementing from a person before.


    ''E-Even sir Denzel Rogers or President Sebrof himself doesn''t have this strong of an element. He''s really a dime of humanity...'', the receptionist thought with marveling eyes looking at Rex''s mighty back.


    Without her even realizing it, there''s a cloudy spirit standing towering behind her.


    She was caught in surprise by the cloudy spirit but soon realized that it was Rex''s spirit shadow, the spirit enveloped her body with a lightning barrier. Looking down to the ground, the receptionist''s eyes widen even more seeing that there was not a link connecting Devo with Rex.


    ''How can a Spirit Shadow have no link...? Is this really possible?''


    Just as the receptionist thought of that, Rex''s eyes started blitzing with ck lightning like a god of lightning himself before in the next split second the sky-ck lightning bes even more violent, "Blitzing Cry!"


    CRACK!!


    A shockwave of powerful ck lightning exploded from Rex''s body like a raging tidal.


    Not stopping there, Rex then chanted another skill as powerful as before swiftly after the blitzing cry skill that makes the receptionist''s jaw falls to the floor, "Thousand Lightning Thorn!!"


    BOOM!


    Root-like thorns spread across the entire ce just under the facade of the shockwave.


    Every single one of them is powerful enough to injure and even kill a peak sixth rank Awakened, the power behind those skills bes even more devastating thanks to his bloodline evolving into Exalted which amplifies every lightning or light skill or spell that he has.


    The receptionist that is protected by Devo can feel the force and powering from the two skills despite being covered by a bubble of ck lightning barrier, it''spletely baffling to think about.


    After the skill leftover recedes, the ground surrounding Rexpletely turns burnt ck.


    There is no actual damage done by Rex''s spell that left a mark on the ce, it seems the ce was certainly made carefully by the UWO to be really sturdy. But Rex doesn''t try to use his higher-rank spells though as it might be a little bit too much.


    With that out of the way, Rex turns around before pulling Devo back into his shadow.


    Nonchntly walking towards the door, Rex then puts both of his hands in his pocket, "It''s sturdy enough, I''ll book this arena for tonight and make sure to be this one. I don''t want my arena to be changed into others"


    "O-Okay sir!", the receptionist replied before running after Rex.


    ~


    Meanwhile, in the UWO main office building.


    There''s an exciting look in Sebrof''s eyes as he looks at the screen in front of him. He was just finished reading a message on his phone before instantly opening an application, there are live videos in front of him right now.


    It was two people, one is a muscr man while the other should be a receptionist.


    "Rex Silverstar... I''ve always wanted to see your lightning prowess, and finally, I have the time and opportunity to see it for myself", Sebrof mutters feeling a little bit delighted. It was of course the live video of the Awakened Transcendence Stadium where Rex and the receptionist are checking an arena.


    But not long after leaning back on his chair, Sebrof leans forward again to see the screen.


    "Hmm... is that brat looking at the hidden camera?"


    As soon as he said that, Serbof''s eyes lit up seeing that Rex was about to use one of his spells. Just as he witnessed two spells Rex chanted consecutively, there''s one particr lightning strike that traverses off course and heads right onto the camera.


    ? The screen turns nk immediately after being struck by the ck lightning strike.


    Upon seeing this Sebrof can''t help but chuckles to himself, there''s an obvious amusement on his face, "I''m not allowed to see even a little bit, huh... you''re a pretty careful brat I must say"
