In the institute, it was known that using the Energy Tank recklessly would increase the rate at which a Spryher would lose control.
Lose control as in becoming mentally deranged or being controlled by the hidden Genetic Characteristics within the transplanted Organ.
In simple terms, Since the organ is originated from the body of an REB, there exists a possibility that the beastly characteristics of the monster still exists within the Genome but are extremely weak to detect or to be a threat.
But as one grows stronger, the hidden Genetic Characteristics would also begin to awaken and also grow stronger alongside the user waiting for an opportunity to strike, attempting to devour and gain control over the MicroGenes and MicroCells that made up the brain's Helix Structure, DNA.
In a more superstitious elaboration, it's like the monster soul weakly hiding within the transplanted organ. As the user grows stronger, the same consciousness also grows stronger with him waiting for the right time to strike until it could finally cause chaos and devour the consciousness of the user.
The dumb ones causes chaos and tries to destroy the body while the smart ones seem to wait for an opportunity until they strike unexpectedly.
David was unaware of this as he hadn't been informed yet. John also refused to imform him either, because of the grudge between the two.
Serums are especially created to counter and subdue such problems.

Roughly an hour later.
In energy room, different energy tanks jab been occupied as could be seen through the slightly blurry and transparent glass tanks.
One could roughly see the outline of a few figure in a deep sleep submerged deep within the tanks.
In a particular tank, the bluish fluid contained within the tank faded, it was now almost transparent in color, the fluid, let out a few bubbles Occasionally disturbing the peaceful surface of the fluid tank.
Splash!
A loud splashing sound was heard as a figure emerged from the previously calm surface of the fluid.
Cough cough!
David spat out a few drops of fluid that managed to find its way to his lungs.
Grabbing the edge of the tank, he stood up.
David gave a long breathe of air. The glee was evident in his eyes. He could feel his injuries had healed by a significant amount and the exhaustion that had pierced deeply into his bones seemed to have faded into thin air.
Clenching his fist, David felt countless energy coursing through his entire body. It was almost as if each and every part of his body and cell was emanating with vitality. He felt full.
He clenched his fists and sensed the warm currents of blood flowing through his veins, into every part of his body. His strength had improved by a fair amount but not as immense as the previous time.
Jumping down the five meter long tank, he touched down softly to the ground.
He could sense the wild flow of energy which was increasingly flowing through his body with the gradual pump of his heart, beat softly as he landed.
Letting out a breath of turbid air, he turned towards the entrance, intending to leave. From the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of John.
"I hope you enjoyed utilizing the Energy Tank, please make sure to come again very soon." John said with a bright smile as looked at David walking through the door. 'I'd like to see if you actually have enough Gyno Points to come here for the third time. No, I hope he does, Hehe, only then could he continue coming here every time completely ignorant. ' of course he said the words on his head.
He was well aware of the fact that new students are allocated 100 Gyno Points by the institute.
Since David has been to the energy tanks twice, he assumed that David had nothing left which was quite a pity.
He couldn't help but shake his head in lament. Nevertheless, the consequences of using the rank twice would manifest sooner or latter. He couldn't wait to see David's expression when that happened.
Smacking his lips in anticipation.
He also felt no need to waste his time on someone whose potential would soon be exhausted. He is no threat at all, in at most a year, he would be given to the army anyways.

At the entrance of the energy building, David felt a sudden chill. Abruptly he turned his head around, as if he could peer through the countless steel walls to faze at John. He silently mused 'I knew it! . That bastard must be planning something incredibly sinister. Need to be careful.'
Just a bit before lecture starts, He shook his head as gazed towards his tattered training suit.
Dark frozen blood stains were visible on the surface. It seems he does need to freshen up. He made a dash towards his dorm.

A mass of students sat in an extremely large auditorium. Murmuring things to each other while at the same time, each checking out their projection image. Their faces flushed in excitement.
A few students surrounded a Spanish male youth as he projected an image live. One could temporary disable the security from their imprint that stops outsiders from viewing only rays of lights and make them see the real images.
News soon circulated around the hall, so it turns out that a few new students were attacked by their fellow students roughly an hour ago. And although, non were killed, a few were injured quite severely
The motion pictures of their fights had already circulated among the students. However the atmosphere was quite intense.
One of the videos contained a fight between Sturm- the hunk guy that almost stomped David. And a thin but handsome blue haired Chinese looking youth.
Their figures were quite the contrast as one was thin while the other was huge. As a result, one could tell the outcome of the battle with just a single glance as it was obvious that from share power and pressure there was no doubt about Sturm losing the fight.
But what had happened next was beyond anyone's comprehensive ability.
Sturm was beaten to unconsciousness in just ten blows!
Just 10 punches!
How inconceivable was that?
The students watching could only gasp in amazement as they watched the blue haired figure walk out of the videos range.
It was at this moment that David walked into the hall.
Shua!
Numerous eyes swiftly fell on him. He was instantly confused and a bit pressured.

Shua!
Numerous eyes swiftly fell on him. He was instantly confused and a bit pressured.
Frowning slightly, he ignored the gazes while he walked towards a particularly empty seat.
Settling down, he saw that most people were projecting visible holographic images and to the air.
Not willing to lose out, he stood to ask a students.
"The hell is going on?"
Looking away from his holographic projection, Grover cast a sidelong glance at David. "Stop bothering me, go as–" his speech stop as he visibly froze.
His lips quivered a bit as he turned around again as if to confirm something "I-yo-we" he sttutered for a few seconds. It seemed as If he had recognized David from somewhere.
David didn't say anything, he just watched on with a deedpan expression.
Finally getting himself together Grover replied "There were quite a few impressive battles amongst the elites of our set, roughly an hour ago." excitement visible in his eyes, he sputtered on.
"And the cause of this was non other than the rankings list that was unexpectedly released a few hours ago by the institute." his eyes shine as spittle flew all over.
"I heard that the rankings list was supposedly supposed to be released after a week but the institute unexpectedly released it before the official release date, it was like chaos on earth. Those terrifying monsters that were previously wolves in sheeps clothing wishing to gain an extra advantage immediately pull off their cloacks and battled those at the top 10."
David blinked his eyes. It seemed like he wasn't the only one who had been attacked by others.
Not noticing David's pondering expression, Grover tone turned soft as he whispered. "Word got out that the First position obtained 10,000 Gyno Points!"
David's eyes widened a bit as he asked, "Really?" Although he had made some speculations about it as he had calculated the numbers of Gyno points the others in the rankings list would be allocated, based on the amount given to him. He didn't want to arouse any suspicion bringing trouble to himself.
If he had acted like he knew, one might suspect he was among the lucky bastards enlisted on the Rankings List which would turn out to be a extremely troublesome matter to deal with.
Although some might have known of his identity. It was very expensive though. Not many of the students are that rich. Even if they are, they would likely keep it to themselves. It was 300 Gyno Points, not 30!
Grover tapped his arm, projecting an image to the air, David saw only saw a few rays of dim light. In just a few seconds, the image distorted. Soon afterwards he could see a video of two figures standing a few meters apart.
He instantly recognissd the huge one to be Sturm. The bulky figure that almost attacked him earlier. But couldn't recognize the other figure.
Unexpected, Sturm was knocked back in the video in a contest of strength and the beaten to unconsciousness at the 10 punch.
David's face tightened, he had seen through the basics of Strum's strength, Dav knew he was no match for him. Fighting him was basically courting death even if he had used the same tactics as he did with the red hair, it was highly likely he would lose.
But now, there was someone who could beat him into a pulp in ten blows! Just how do this people practice?
Grover moved closer "I heard that the blue haired guy is called Lu Feng. I also heard that with his combat prowess, he was only capable of retaininh the third position." he whispered.
David's heart clenched uncontrollably, although he had not thought himself very strong, he had also never thought of himself this week. Thinking back to when he assumed he could sweep through his peers, it was a truly laughable thought.
Third place? With that strength? What about first and second? What kind of monsters are those?
As if hearing his thoughts, Grover continued "They say the first and second place in the Rankings Lists are very strong, but no one actually knows who they are."
Calming his nerves David pondered, although there exists a possibility it was true fact, it could all just be rumors.
Knocking himself up just for something like this, it wasn't his style.
"Thanks." He turned back to his seat after saying that leaving the slightly chubby Grover, wide mouth.

In a few moments, a very large middle aged ugly man entered the hall. The class immediately descend to silence. The previous chattering sound died down.
"Good morning students, I am your instructor for this class, I do hope we get along quite well." With a flirtatious smile, he winked at the female students.
The students instantly felt a chill running down their spine. The guys glared at the instructor almost simultaneously. David lips couldn't help but twitch. What was this situation.
"I will make sure to attend to you guys quite thoroughly, but for now let's get down to business. I will take you things concerning Theories." as if he didn't notice thier glares, he continued.
"Exercise Methods and Combat techniques are two separate things entirely." This captured David's attention as he thought she was speaking specifically to him.
"Exercise Methods or manuals exponentially increases ones rate of Heart Beat, thereby increasing and improving one's overall body capabilities such as strength, flexibility, speed, etc permanently! " The instructors voice has gradually grown solemn.
"When practiced to the highest level, special effects maybe obtained. Listen carefully, I said Maybe!" his voice stern.
"Now, let's visit the matter concerning Combat Techniques. Combat techniques are fighting methods that increases one's strength, reaction time, speed or other aspects explosively for a short period of time. Reducing one's stamina in exchange. Just incase you don't mix them up in the future.
For example, The Impulse Fist... Go to your Combat instructor for further information, I am only here to sort out the theoretical problems in cultivation. " The instructor pointed out.
David felt his mind buzz as if trying to tell him something, but unfortunately he didn't quite grasp it.
Smiling softly, he continued "Now that we've gotten that out of the way, let's talk about the levels involved. Both Exercising Methods and Combat Techniques are divided into different grades and which is then divided into three different levels.
Black Grade, Brown Grade and lastly Red Grade.
That's as far as the best of you could get anyways.
They are all divided into three levels in which the power level, Gyno Points and difficulty increases respectively. Low level, Mid level and high level.
For example, The Impulse Fist is a low level Black Grade technique. Easy to learn, costs 499 Gyno points and increases one's strength by a bit.
The Rebounding Body is a mid level Black Grade technique. A bit hard to learn, cost 899 Gyno Points because it's a body technique, increases the bodily defense by more.
The Drill Punch is a High level Black Grade technique. 999 Gyno points " He watched the students awed expression, causing him to smile.
"To my main reason for coming here, like I said previously, it's to deal with problems regarding theories on the practice methods and combat techniques.
To start with, every instructor or professor in the institute says that there are practically no easy shortcuts to help improve one's strength because most ways are very dangerous which includes constant dangerous battles with REBs or things like that.
But I will tell you, there are shortcut to every thing in life. it just depends if you are willing to put in the effort take it or not."
The fat instructor smiled, handsomely? As if he just said something casual.
