Chapter 5: Change: Back to school

Rex was finally able to talked with the Roselle duo of mother and daughter, at one point he thought they where siblings. While talking to Becky he found out she had been divorced for eleven years, she was married into a rich family but her husband left because she couldn't give him a son or another child after Stephanie, it turned out to be a bad decision as she later got half of his wealth thanks to the divorce, his family wants to retaliate but she had gathered evidence of him cheating and threatened to make it public news and ruin him and his families reputation so she was left alone.

Now she was a rich and wealthy widow, she started her own company and made investments that bloomed and made her even richer but then a personal problem arose, because of her accumulated wealth and status she found it hard to get another husband, some men did come seeking a relationship with her but later got intimidated by her wealth or got chased away by her daughter so she had been alone seeming to have given up on dating.

Rex was preparing to go to school tomorrow, he missed his old school but saw it as the best choice to relocate, he didn't want to remember the bad memories anymore and tried to move on from the past, he went to the bathroom and spent a good hour in there checking out his system, he guessed it was done with magic but from what he had learned it was passed down from generation to generation.

(who in the past had or could create such sophisticated magic like this) he thought, after waching up he tied a towel around his waist and came out just when Stephanie was walking through the hallway, she froze when she saw him half naked

(his jacked) she thought as she stared at his muscles, his physique was astounding, it made her blush just staring at him, his chiseled abs, broad shoulders and huge rock-like chest, his wet hair that covered his face just leaving a little space for his left eye to be seen

"Is something wrong?" he asked, "your face is red"

"oh uhh it's n.. nothing" she said, "it's just, your really muscular" she said before running down stares

"huh? but I've never exercised or worked out" he said

when he got to his room he checked himself out in the mirror and he could believe what he was seeing, he had muscles everywhere, almost like they had grown over night, his abs, chest and everything else was so defined that it looked like they where drawn on him.

(what did the system do to me) he thought, it seemed he had changed a lot without realizing it, he had grown a few inches too.

when he came down in his uniform both Stephanie and Becky where speechless, dressed in his white and blue uniform made like a suit with a blue tie, he looked stunning with white and blue shoe to match, aldo it wasn't cold he still wore the school hoody

"do I look weird" he asked

"no you look stunning, like a prince charming" Becky said as she checked him out from top to bottom

"mom" Stephanie called her out

"what? I never said I didn't like younger guys" she teased, "what do you think Stephanie, doesn't he look handsome"

hmph she pouted ignoring her question and heading to the door

"don't mind her you look great Rex"

"I think I look weird"

"let's go, we've waisted enough time" Stephanie said she went out the door. Few minutes later.

"hi my name is Rex Gryphon, I like sports and videos games this is my first time in this town so I hope to make new friends" he said as he Introduced himself to his new classmates, the boys where a bit intimidated while the girls where stunned

hey is it me or does he have this intimidating aura

yh man, even his glare sends shivers down my spine

meanwhile the girls where thinking opposite

damn he's hot

he gives my boyfriend a run for his money

oh boy where have you been all my life

alright rex you can sit at the back and don't get influenced by the delinquents at the bad

yes sir he said as he went to sit down, after a few classes it was time for magic practice where everyone would go out to practice magic, each of them where given magical wrist band that could calculate ones mana pool and give it a number

ohh mine has gone up, my mana is at 250, mine is 260, mine is 300. The highest was so far was the ace of the class and the most popular girl, her name was Rita she had purple hare and red eyes, bountiful ass and large tits, she was adored by the boys and her talent for magic earned her the admiration of the girls. Rex was standing next to a silent beauty in the class, a girl with black long hair tied into a pony tail and violet eyes, she didn't have an hourglass figure like Rita but she had a large set of melons on her chest, her name was Helen.

"uhh hey what's your mana level" Rex asked, this is a new school and he was trying be as natural as possible and make new friends but his lack of enthusiasm or interest for the class peaked Hellen's interest.

she showed him her wrist band and it showed 750, wow your pretty strong he said, "what about you" she asked, I don't know does this look abnormal" he said showing his wrist band that said 920

her eyes widened as she looked at the wrist band then at Rex

(he's this strong? but how) she thought

"so I'm guessing it's abnormal by your reaction then, can you promise to keep it a secret" he begged with his hands together

"yh, your secret is safe with me" sha said, this simple interaction didn't go unnoticed by Rita.

The class started and the first spell taught was a defence spell to cast a force field.

"umm hey I'm sorry I didn't get your name"

"I'm Helen" she said

"I'm ..."

"rex yh I know what do you want" she said getting straight to the point

(did I annoy her?) he thought

"sorry I just wanted you to help explain what the teacher ment because I didn't understand it"

"it's simple, you circulate the mana within your body then you release it and try to control it to create a magical barrier, that's how I do it, if you can't then chant the spell he says and it'll do it automatically"

"oh no it's ok I understand what you mean", Rex Didn't pay attention much in class so he usually had to rely on his friends to explain better, since Helen was the only person he had talked to since coming to the new school he decided to stick to her but one thing he didn't ask was how much mana had to be used, while the other had successfully made the magical barrier. Rex had done something a bit more complex, the magical barrier's where like magical glowing symbols and the students where to busy focusing to notice what Rex did at the left end side of the class only Helen and the instructor did and they where speechless. Rex had made mana skin, a more advanced use of magic in which the user would wrap themselves in condensed mana, it also boosted they're physical attributes as well, with his red glowing aura Rex has done just that and this peaked not only Helen's interest but that of the teacher as well because one needed to have exceptional mana control to do this.

While all that was going on, else where, in a mansion with different paintings a girl was kneeling before a man.

There has been disturbances in clover city, I believe that's where your school is Isn't it
