Interlude: Shadow (2)
Two weeks later, inside the BPRD training ground.
Chigusa Wakaba was fighting her opponent, and everyone thought that she would never win this time, but when they witnessed the battle, everyone present couldn't help but be amazed.
"Did it take only two weeks to get to that point?" said Bernard in disbelief, "knowing that the guy she fought against was in the top five!"
"Don't be too surprised. Rex patted Bennar on the shoulder, "People always have to improve, so don't look at someone the same way all the time." ”
"You're right. Bednar nodded, "That's pretty surprising." ”
"The winner is decided!" Mano shouted to stop the fight, nodding at Chikusa Wakaba. "The winner is Chikusa Wakaba, you have passed the training assessment this time. ”
"Thank you, instructor!" Chikusa Wakaba bowed to Mano.
"You don't need to thank me, all of this today is the result of your hard work. Mano said with a smile.
Chikusa Wakaba glanced at Rex as she left the training ground, and she made a triumphant gesture at him, and Rex winked and smiled at her.
Chigusa Wakaba knew in her heart that the reason why she was able to improve so quickly was largely due to Rex's guidance, coupled with the fact that she spent several times more time exercising every day than others, which made her successful today.
"Next, Rex. Mano said, pointing at Rex.
"I went, Bena. Rex jumped into the training ground with a confident smile on her face.
"Looks like you've helped Wakaba a lot. Mano walked up to Rex and whispered, "I'm all too familiar with her movements, and there's no doubt that they're your combat moves." ”
"I just taught her a little bit. Rex replied, "It's all thanks to her hard work, if it weren't for her sweat, I'm afraid even if I taught her more tricks, wouldn't it?"
"You're really different from everyone else. Mano distanced himself from Rex as he spoke, "Then let's start your training assessment." ”
"Wait a minute, instructor. Rex raised his hand, "And who is my opponent?"
"Isn't he standing in front of you now?" Manor smiled, "I'm your rival, do everything you can to defeat me!"
Everyone present let out an exclamation, although Rex was the first in every event, but even then he was a trainee after all, how could he play against Instructor Mano now?
"What's the matter, do you want to throw in the towel?" asked Mano.
"It's weird. Rex didn't have any fear, "It's not every day that you have the opportunity to fight with an instructor, so please show all your skills!"
"Well said!" Manor shouted, "It's like my student, so let's get started!"
"Is that really good?" said Winston to Philip, "let Mano fight him, what if something goes wrong?"
"We have to do it. Philip replied, "Rex must be pushed to the limit, and only then can we judge." ”
"What should we do if we find out that he is the source of energy fluctuations?"
"Then he's going to be arrested. Philip sighed and said, "I don't want to get to that situation, but if it's really him, I'm afraid we'll have to do something." ”
On the training ground, the battle between Rex and Mano made everyone present hold their breath, but they didn't expect Rex to be able to fight with the instructor equally, this battle was really exciting.
"Boy, didn't you expect to be able to draw with me in martial arts?" Mano complimented, "It's amazing, maybe you'll surpass me far in the future!"
"I hope it will come true!" Rex fended against Male's fist, "but don't let it go, even if I win, there's nothing to be happy about!"
"Then satisfy you!" a golden rune suddenly appeared on Mano's arm, and Rex also felt Mano's strength change at least several times in an instant, and knocked him out with just one punch.
"Is the instructor actually going to use the Divine Word?" said Bena in surprise, "how can this situation be won! Rex, hurry up and stop fighting!"
"It's okay, Bena. Rex just stood up and dusted his pants, "Don't miss this fight, I don't admit defeat so easily!"
Rex, I don't believe that person could be you, Mano thought to himself as he looked at Rex. I can't believe it anyway, that guy is telling a lie, so please prove it to me for yourself now!
Mano launched an onslaught at Rex, and as he had expected, Rex was almost completely suppressed by the power of the Word, and Mano was even more convinced that what the man who could say was just a lie.
"Enough is enough. Winston frowned as he looked at the monitor, "Rex is completely powerless, if he really is the source of power, then the situation simply can't be the way it is." ”
"Wait. Philip stared at the monitor, "I know your concerns, but as long as Rex can pass the test, it will prove his innocence once and for all." ”
"Didn't you think that even to this extent, it wouldn't be able to stimulate his power?" the comer watched in silence in the dark.
"That's not going to work, they might think I'm telling a lie, and my plans will be ruined, and I can't allow anything like that. ”
The visitor raised a finger: "It's like guiding your power before, let me help you again this time!"
"Uhhhhh
"What's wrong? Rex!" Mano asked with concern, "if he's not feeling well, and if so, then I can end the fight first." ”
"There's no need for that. Rex said in a low tone, "It's going to be over soon, and the only one who can win this battle is me!"
"Didi!" the detector in the room made a screeching sound, and both Philip and Winston understood what this meant, and their expressions instantly became extremely stunned.
"How so?" Philip slammed the table, "Is it really him? Is what we see real?"
"The detector doesn't lie. Philip looked at the screen, the muscles in his face twitching visibly. "No matter how much we don't want to believe it, the facts are already in front of us. ”
"So what's next?"
"Go tell the ops to be ready to move at any time, we may have to arrest Rex. ”
"How could it be? How could you have such great power?" Mano found that his power was actually suppressed by Rex, but without the Holy Word, even Rex should not be able to do it.
"Isn't that natural?" Rex smiled with a creepy grin, "How could you guys win me?!"
Mano, who was completely overwhelmed by Rex's combo, was knocked to the ground with no intention of stopping.
"That's enough! Rex, stop fighting!" Beina shouted, "You've won this fight, you don't need to fight any more!"
"What are you talking about?" Rex said without looking back, "how can the battle be over, for me this is just the beginning!"
What is this feeling?Bena felt as if he didn't recognize the person in the training ground anymore, was that really my friend Rex?
"Whew!" Mano, clutching his chest, gasped as he approached Rex, a sensation he knew all too well.
Demons! The word popped into Mano's mind, yes, he had fought against an unknown number of demons, and this feeling of longing to destroy everything undoubtedly belonged to those demons.
"It's time to finish. Rex laughed, his eyes clearly filled with murderous intent.
"Don't fight anymore!" Wakaba Chigusa suddenly jumped into the training ground, and she hugged Rex tightly, hoping to stop him from moving forward.
"Let it go!" Rex roared, "Hurry up and let me go!"
"I'm definitely not going to let go!" Chikusa Wakaha shouted, "never, I don't know what the hell happened to you, Rex, but it's definitely not the real you." ”
"Wakaba, Wakaba. Rex's expression was very uncomfortable, and he struggled to squeeze out a few words.
"Rex, wake up!" Burna came to Rex's side, "What the hell is wrong with you?"
"My head hurts. Rex muttered, "What am I doing now? I can't remember, my head hurts!"
"That should be enough. The Hidden Visitor nodded in satisfaction, "They'll believe what I say, and as for you, Rex, what will happen to you?"
"Don't go too far. A voice came from behind the comer.
"I'm measured. The visitor shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "I promise that everything is under my control, and nothing will go wrong." ”
"That's good, then I'll leave the rest to you. ”
"Wrap it around me. The visitor smiled as he looked at Rex, who had fainted.
"Get Rex to the infirmary. Mano rose from the ground and ordered.
"Yes!" After receiving the order, Bednar and Chikusa Wakaba immediately helped Rex in the direction of the infirmary.
Mano watched Rex's back fade away, but his brow furrowed more and more tightly, and he didn't come back to his senses until he was reminded by a trainee.
"Today's training is over for the time being. Mano said to the remaining trainees, "Disband!"
He walked briskly to the conference room, and the moment he pushed the door open, Philip and Winston had clearly been waiting for him for a long time.
"What the man said was true. "I know it's hard to accept, but we're going to have to do something." ”
"I know. Mano gritted his teeth and said, "It's really him, I already felt it when I fought him, so what are you going to do next?"
"Sit down, Mano. Philip pulled a chair over Mano, "We're going to have an action meeting now, and hopefully we can figure out the surest solution." ”
The three of them looked at each other, obviously they hadn't recovered from the shock they had just had, but now they were sitting here and didn't want to make a final decision.
