The room is already bloodied because of Rex,

Blood gushed out of his mouth every time he tries to activate his lightning element, it paints the ground crimson red.

'It's not that painful but every time I do it, the pain shocked my body', Rex thought while holding his head, he started to feel dizzy because of the loss of blood.

He forced himself to focus, there is a time limit for this and it is only 10 minutes.

Rex gritted his teeth, he musters all of his willpower and tries to activate his lightning element.

Blitz!!

The electric current started to envelop his body, it's blitzing around his body while making contact with the dark energy inside of him.

Rex can feel his insides are stirred by the three elements, blood wanted to gush out of his mouth be he forced it in fear that he will lose focus.

The dark energy, holy energy, and the lightning element dances around Rex's body, they are twirling around each other.

The dark energy is super strong, it started to engulf the lightning element like a black hole but this is where the holy element stepped in.

It intervenes against the two elements making the dark energy weaker,

The lightning mana becomes aggressive, it attacks the invading elements powerfully especially the tyrannical dark energy.

Not long after, they started to merge with each other but suddenly,

BOOM!!

Lightning current exploded from Rex's body sending shockwaves to the surrounding,

"AAHHH!!!", Rex shouted in pain, the lightning is attacking Rex's body uncontrollably, it is starting to wreak havoc.

The lightning element inside Rex's body started to merge turning black in color, it is running rampant inside the meditation room attacking the surrounding and Rex.

In the midst of the chaos, Rex opened his eyes a little and grab the other elixir.

With much effort, he brings the elixir to his mouth and pours all of the content inside of it to his mouth.

The next process of the evolution is to enter the catalyst to the black lightning, it will act as a mediator to ease the rampaging black lightning and suppressing it.

After drinking the elixir, a blue string appears around the rampaging black lightning.

It started to catch the rampaging black lightning and tying it down.

The supposed rampaging black lightning becomes calmer after merging with the blue string, Rex can even start to take control of the black lightning little by little.

'Thank god I manage to pass the processes, now for the last part', Rex thought before he takes the last petals.

He held it between his two hands and start to meditate,

The last part of the evolution is to enhance the power of the element by absorbing the last petals, the black lightning is in the early process and it is still merging so this is the perfect time to add more mana into it.

Until it is fully formed and returns to normal, the black lightning will gain 2x the normal absorption amount.

Little by little, the last petals on Rex's hand started to fade.

Rex's scream of agony before is not heard by the others thanks to the room, it is equipped with a soundproof rune that will not let out any sound.

two hours have passed, the last petals are already halfway through.

Rex can feel he was about to break through to rank three but suddenly, 'Huh?', he frowns during meditation.

He can't absorb more of the dark energy for some reason, he then forced to open his eyes.

The evolution is over,

Rex has managed to successfully turn his lightning element into black lightning, it supposed to contain corruption properties but he still didn't know how it works exactly.

Rex opened his eyes and was surprised to see the room's condition,

The ground is no longer translucent rather it is crimson red, the surrounding glass wall is still displaying the night sky.

'Why didn't it got damaged? I swear the lightning zap them', Rex thought but suddenly he saw a glowing rune on top of the room.

It is a rank-five protection rune...

Rex smiles wryly, 'Of course there will be a protection rune'

Then suddenly, notifications popped out,

<Congratulation on completing Black Lightning Achievement>

<Obtained Flash Spell>

<Obtained Black Field Orko Spell>

Reading the system's notification, Rex smile wryly to himself, 'Got more spells that I can't use, nice!'

After getting the notification, Rex glance at the spells briefly and his eyes suddenly widened seeing the flash spell.

<Flash>

A low-rank utility spell for Lightning Elementalist users, increased the user's speed by 1.5x instantly for a brief moment. It is typically used for closing the distance or escaping.

Requirement: Rank Two Elementalist with 20 Intelligence

Rex was surprised because he can learn this spell, without thinking much he instantly learn the spell at the cost of 200 gold.

After paying the system, the skill instantly turn into light and seeped into his brain.

He instantly learned the flash skill, he can't wait to try it out but he knows he can't do it in this cramped place.

Rex opened his palm and felt the black lightning coursing through his body, he tries and activates the black lightning, and swiftly a black electric current started to envelop his body.

Blitz!!

The lightning is ink-black in color, it is blitzing constantly as if it's happy it just transform and it is definitely more powerful than the normal lightning.

'What rank is this lightning?', Rex asked curiously.

<Black Lightning is a peak rank two lightning element>

The system popped out suddenly,

Looking at this, Rex nodded his head in satisfaction, he's happy with the outcome of the Dark Mooncress.

Elements are divided into rankings, it is divided into three rankings.

The first rank is the elements for new Awakened ranging from rank one to rank three, this element is where all of the Awakened start with and it will only help them until they reach peak rank three.

The second rank is called the high-rank element, this element is a higher form of the first rank element and will help Awakened to reach rank four to six. This is why not many manage to reach rank four, they lack resources to evolve their elements.

The third rank, however, is called the ultimate element, it is an even higher form of elements and they can guide Awakened to rank seven or eight. They are the absolute pinnacle of elements and unrivaled against all other weaker elements.

The second and third ranks will be further divided into early, mid, and peak.

They will be the greatest measure to how far an Awakened reach,

For example, an Awakened with early second rank element can only reach rank four until they manage to evolve their early second rank element into higher rank elements.

Awakened with peak second rank element on the other hand can further reach rank six without having the need to evolve their element.

Having Black Lightning means that Rex can reach rank six without an obstacle in his path, he just cleared the most difficult obstacle that blocks an Awakened path to rank four.

'With this, I am now confident in fighting Kevin Luc', Rex thought.

He then turns off the meditation room, he then walks back to his seat feeling tired.

His shirt is black so the bloodstain on his shirt can't be seen, although that didn't help when suddenly,

"AAHH!!", Rosie shouted in surprise.

She walks past the meditation room and saw the ground filled with blood.

Hera runs to her followed by Adhara and asks hurriedly, "What's wrong?"

Rosie covered her mouth in shock and points towards the meditation room where Rex just left, her hands are trembling while pointing towards the room.

Following Rosie's hand, the both of them look to the side and saw the bloody scene.

Adhara widened her eyes in shock but she soon recovered, while Hera on the other hand is gasping uncontrollably.

She can't believe what her eyes are seeing.

'This room is the one Rex used, then that means this is Rex's blood right?', she thought before glancing at Rex.

"Excuse me! Can you please clean this up?", Hera shouted to the train attendant.

After that, she immediately approaches Rex to see his condition but to her surprise, Rex is already fallen asleep, fatigue overwhelms him making him instantly fell asleep.

Rosie and Adhara also pops their head from her back and saw Rex sleeping,

Hera wanted to touch Rex's forehead to feel his temperature but to her surprise it is hot, she felt worried but Rosie intervenes, "It's okay, he's always this hot"

Hearing this, Hera hesitated before decided to trust Rosie.

Just as they wanted to leave Rex to rest,

Hera saw a black current flashing around Rex's hand from the corner of her eyes, she turns her head to look at it but there's nothing, 'Maybe it's just my imagination'

Hours have passed by,

Rex's eyelids tremble slightly before he opened his eyes slowly, he adjusted his eyes to the surroundings and found the girls and Hera sleeping.

He stretches his body before straightening it,

The black lightning inside his body has already fully merged, he can feel it coursing calmly unlike before.

'I want to test it out but there's no training room, I'll just try to play with it', Rex thought.

He then activates the black lightning and plays with it on his hand,

The black lightning is filled with corruption energy, he can even feel some dark mana intertwining with the black lightning.

Rex felt stronger for some reason, he controls the black lightning to envelopes his body and felt his power increase dramatically.

He then opens his stats tab and sees the changes,

<Rex Silverstar>

Pack: Silverstar (1/2)

Level: 20 (547,500/650,000)

Race: High Werewolf

Full-Moon: 23 Days - Yule Moon

Berserk: 60%

Sanity: 75%

Mental: 40 (+32)

Strength: 87 (+13)

Agility: 48 (+2)

Endurance: 35 (+10)

Intelligence: 38

Attributable Stats: 0

<Average Human Adults have 5-7 points for each stat except for Intelligence>

Reading the stats, Rex frowns, 'It raises my stats for quite a bit especially my agility but why am I still rank two? I remember Rosie's intelligence is 43 and she is mid-rank three but mine, on the other hand, is 38 but I'm still peak rank two?'

Rex was confused but suddenly the system answers,

<Black Lightning is a peak second rank element thus to reach rank three the user need to have 45 intelligence stat>

'Oh, so that's it. Although my elements become stronger, the requirement to reach next rank also becomes heavier', Rex thought.

After playing with the black lightning for a bit, he gets up from his seat and went to the bar.

The bar is empty with no one except him and the bartender.

He takes a seat and said, "Give me any drink"

The bartender nodded her head and takes a bottle from the cabinet, she takes a glass and put it in front of Rex.

She then puts a couple of ice before pouring the drink professionally.

Rex takes the glass and drinks it in one go,

Gulp!

He slams the glass on the table in satisfaction, he's currently looking down in thought.

Out of nowhere, he felt nervous, the closer the train got to Faraday University the faster his heartbeat.

Maybe because of how hard he prepared for this fight, he becomes like this, 'I'm confident in fighting against Kevin Luc, I prepare so hard but there's always the possibility of losing. If I lose what then?'

He leans his head on his hand with a frown,

The bartender notices this, she approaches Rex and asks teasingly, "So, the strongest first-year. What's seems to bother your mind?"

Rex raises his head and saw the bartender asking him with a bright smile while wiping a glass,

The bartender looks in her late twenties, her blonde hair is twirling until her shoulder, her hazel eyes glow that will surely attract him but Rex decided to turn his head away.

"Nothing really, just give me the damn bottle", he said.

Hearing this, the bartender chuckles lightly before putting the bottle beside Rex.

Rex pours himself a drink, he gulped it all in one go without a care in the world.

Not long after, the bottle is already empty and his head is already lying on the bar counter drunk.

"I work hard to beat that Kevin, so why am I so nervous?", Rex started mumbling, his mind is not in the right place right now.

The bartender approaches Rex, "Well, pour it all out. You can tell me anything, I'll listen to you"

Rex nodded his head dazedly, "Do you want to know? I just evolve my element! how cool is that? I'm cool!"

"Wow really? What did it become?", the bartender asks curiously.

Rex flexed his hands as black lightning started to course on his hand, "Peak Rank Two! Ha!*Hic* How cool is that? I will *Hic* reach rank six smoothly"

Hearing this, the bartender widened her eyes in surprise, "That's great! No wonder you're the strongest!", she said while clapping lightly.

After flexing, he slammed his head on the counter, "No worries,*Hic* I will certainly use this power to kill all Werewolves! How dare they *Hic* Kill my parents"

Tears started to fall down from his eyes,

The bartender was quite shocked by the sudden change, she approaches Rex and stroke his head gently, "There, there, you will certainly avenge them I don't doubt it. How did you get so strong? have you killed anyone with this much power?"

"I killed many Supernatural and annoying people, they're all annoying people. and why am I so strong? HAHA, Of course, that's because I'm a We...", before he can finish, he suddenly passed out.

The bartender clicked her tongue in displeasure, she then helped him up before bringing him back to his seat.

She then went back to the bar and takes her phone, "Sir, I got some news and I assure you it will be quite useful", she said to the person on the phone.
