SWNOVELS Chapter 13 Shopping
Laura looks at Rex's back that is walking further away from her, She felt a sense of loss after seeing that Rex didn't help her to get up.
She bit her lips, 'How did he get this strong? Although I can probably beat him using my magic, even so, a non-awakened is not supposed to be this strong. Rex I didn't mean us to be like this'
Tom struggles to stand up and run to help Laura, When suddenly,
Laura's body is heating up, her forehead creased in pain. Her face turns pale as she falls down to the ground weakly, she musters her strength and whispers something to Tom's ear.
Tom then immediately carry Laura on his back and run towards the infirmary.
Rex is unaware of this event, He's smiling while looking at the system's notifications.

Rex looks at his Stats tab and notices some changes, 'So added strength that I got from increasing my claw level is displayed beside my actual stats, that's pretty convenient'
After pondering for a while, Rex decided to add his three attributable stats into mental stats.
'First thing first, I need to prepare for the full moon' he thought.
After assigning his stats, Rex notices that the students started to leave the training hall.
Rex decided to walk out too when suddenly he was called by Mr. Joseph,
"Rex! Come here for a moment", Mr. Joseph said while signing Rex to come to him.
Rex turns his head and raises his eyebrows in confusion, He walks to Mr. Joseph and asks, "What's wrong Mr. Joseph?"
"Have you got your room? You do know that as a student you will be unable to get out of university until the weekend right?", Mr. Joseph questioned back.
Hearing this, Rex was surprised, "Wait, I can't go home?", His high-pitched voice seeps into Mr. Joseph's ear making Mr. Joseph close his ear in annoyance.
"Don't overreact, Thankfully I am a considerate lecturer so I already have your room key right here", Mr. Josep said after taking a key out from his pocket.
Then he continues, "Your room is in the Dormitory Section, district C. If you want to go out, You can just ask me. Don't forget classes will start at 7", Mr. Joseph said after giving the key and walking away leaving Rex who is still processing his words.
'Sigh, I don't know about this. I didn't even bring any money', he thought when suddenly a message enters his phone.
Ting!
Rex opened his phone and found a message sent by his mother saying, "Rex, I forgot to tell you that you will be staying in the university dormitory. I already transferred money to your bank account, you can just check it. Love you!"
Looking at the message, the corner of his lips quirked up.
He opens his bank account and gasps in shock!
'$500,000!, how much money does the UWO gives to make mom give me this much money!', Rex thought after seeing the enormous money inside his bank account.
The world decided to use one currency during the Elpida Alliance, that currency is the dollar.
Rex never holds this much money, He never hails from a rich family so holding so much money like this makes his hand itchy.
Rex started finding his room while thinking, 'This gigantic university doesn't have a mall right?', just as he was finding his room on a map in front of the training hall, he saw a mall section!
'Should I?', He thought then finally he decided to go to the mall section.
When he was looking at the map he also finds that this university has a train that goes back and forth, he decided to use it because the mall section is pretty far.
Rex finds the train station not far away from the training hall, he waits for the train to come before entering it.
Inside the train, many students with different styles are chatting happily.
Rex is watching the students chatting to each other with his cold eyes but deep down he feels lonely.
After five minutes or so, he arrived at the mall section.
The mall section of the university is just like other malls, they got restaurants, coffee shops, branded fashion, automobiles, and many more!
'This university is out of this world', Rex thought.
He walks in the crowd of people looking left and right, He saw many branded clothing stores and restaurants. He also saw many elixir shops, magic shops, and even battle equipment shops.
Elixir is used by the Awakened in many ways such as to help them promote to a higher rank faster, replenish their mana, heal their injuries. Magic shops sell spells and items to increase their magic power or potency, while a battle equipment shop is a place where Awakened buys their equipment.
The Ochyra University's students are not all Awakened, some like Rex is a normal person.
Rex's class is 1-C, 1 stands for first-year while C means elite class. the class is divided into A, B, C, and D where A is a normal class full of normal people, B is a middle class that has a fifty-fifty ratio between normal people and an Awakened, C is an elite class full of Awakened, and D is core class for the elite of elites student.
'I really don't care about my appearance but a watch is not that bad', Rex thought before he enters a branded watch shop.
Unknown to him, Adhara notices him amongst the crowd and starts to follow him.
"Welcome dear customer, what can I help you today?", ask a clerk wearing a formal suit and tie.
"I'm looking for a watch, can you recommend me some", said Rex while looking around.
The clerk observed Rex from head to toe, He smiles and motion Rex to follow him, "Right this way sir"
The clerk brought Rex to a collection of watches, there is a couple of series of watches in front of Rex with different designs.
The watches are arranged neatly inside a big glass cabinet.
"This is a collection of our Bronze Series, It is made by one of our best craftsmen and fully automated. It is resistant to heavy impact and if you request it we can put a rune on it to add defense properties turning this watch into battle equipment", the clerk explains with a smile.
Rex glance at it and points at another one located on the top of the display, "What about this one?"
"Sir, I'm sorry but it is a pretty high-end product. Our bronze series is much affordable", the clerk said with a look of doubt on his face.
"How much for this one?", Rex asks while pointing at the Gold Series of the watch collection totally ignoring the clerk.
The clerk said mockingly, "It is $93,999 sir, Will you buy it? You are not an Awakened so I just trying to help you save some face by showing you the bronze series collection", the clerk folded his hands in front of him.
After hearing it, Rex smiles mockingly. 'This guy is so annoying, judging my abilities eh?'
He turns his head and calls another clerk that is standing in front of the shop entrance, "You there come here I want to ask you something", Rex said towards a female clerk wearing the same outfit as the clerk before.
The female clerk approaches Rex politely and asks, "What can I help you with?"
"How much is this one?", Rex asks while pointing to the same watch he asks the other clerk before.
After looking at it, The clerk answers, "It is $93,999 sir"
"Then I'll buy it, also, add a rank 3 protection rune on it", Rex said while giving the clerk his debit card.
Hearing this, the clerk that mocks Rex before is shocked. "Sir I can wrap that one up for you", he said pleading for Rex.
"No Need, this miss here can do that", he replies coldly, 'Say bye-bye to your bonus' Rex thought with a mocking smile.
The clerk felt depressed after losing his bonus, while the female clerk brought Rex his newly purchased watch with a happy expression.
"Thank you for your purchase! Please come again!", Said the female clerk while Rex exiting the stores.
After Rex walks out of the store, He wanted to go to his room when suddenly he said, "I know you're following me"contemporary romance
Adhara that was blending with the crowd walks out after she got exposed by Rex, "How do you know?", she asks.
Instead of answering, Rex replied with another question, "What are you doing?"
"Nothing, just following you", she replied innocently.
Rex studied Adhara trying to find her motive to no avail, her beauty seems to be a perfect mask to hide her thoughts.
She continues, "Do you want to eat with me?"
Rex replied while resuming his walk, "No, Don't follow me"
Adhara stood there in thoughts, 'Why is he so cold? He isn't cold when he introduces himself before so why the sudden change?'
Rex walks out of the mall section and goes to the dormitory section,
He goes to the C district and found his room, Room number 13.
While he's walking towards the C district, he found that the room in the A and B districts is normal while the C district is two times the size and more luxurious.
Entering the room, he found that his room has minimal furniture in it.
One king-size bed, big Tv that is hanging in front of the bed, a study desk that is pretty big with a high-end computer on it, a brown L shape sofa, and a bathroom.
'This is way more than I thought', he thought while he opens his upper clothes and crashes on the bed.
Just as he wanted to closes his eyes, he remembered that he still didn't do his daily quest and also he needs to meet Rosie.
"Ughhh...", Rex wakes up from the bed, puts his clothes back on, and left the room lazily.
