The next morning Gustav finally finished the last page of the last book. It was around five a.m at this time.
"This has been an eye-opener... The general public hardly know anything about the past, was this the government way of keeping information from a lot of people?"
After reading the history books, Gustav had suspicions because of the things he found out.
There was a lot of information withheld from the general public. There were still more that he wished to know. The fifth volume only covered years 2110 to 2120.
This was the year 4094.
Gustav longed to know what happened after and now he felt the world wasn't as simple as he thought.
They were terrorist groups of mixed-bloods that have been existing for centuries, creatures known as Mixedbreeds that were said to have their bloodline go haywire after defective awakening, e.t.c.
So many things that Gustav didn't know beforehand because the city he grew up in was a top-class one that hardly got infiltrated by criminals and the rest.
"How is it that the MBO is not able to handle all this?"
Gustav had always naively thought the MBO was powerful enough to handle everything related to mixed-bloods criminalism. He had no idea that the world was even darker than he knew it to be.
Ding!
A notification popped up in his line of sight
[Host has completed the goal: read a thousand books]
"What?" Gustav stared at the notification with a shocked look.
"Goal?" He had never seen the system bring up anything goal-related even after opening the system interface more than a thousand times. This was the reason for his shocked reaction.
[Goal reward: Host has unlocked a new attribute]
[Mental Fortitude]
"Hmm... is this what scholars mean when they say knowledge is power?" Gustav held his chin as he stared at the reward.
"Mental fortitude... I wonder how many points I'll get right off the bat for that," Gustav pondered as he opened the system interface and called for the attributes panel.

---------------------------
"Ek, just two," Gustav was kind of disappointed after noticing the small figure placed in front of mental fortitude.
He was expecting the number to shoot straight up like bravery but it ended up being lesser.
"It's gonna take a while for me to raise it," Gustav held his chin as he calculated how many days and points it would take for mental fortitude to reach the rest.
Gustav still wanted for each of his attributes to rise evenly so for now he had decided to put off adding attributes to other stats till mental fortitude will have the same points with them.
Gustav quickly went to prepare for school again today.
-Thirty minutes later
Gustav was on his way to school already with his skin color being pale white and his hair color being green.
He looked so much different from his usual self. Unrecognizable also.
What Gustav didn't know was, his height was increasing and his body size was becoming bulkier by the day.
If anyone saw compared him to how he looked last month, they would see the changes.
Gustav got to school and headed for the school kitchen immediately.
When he got in he met boss Danzo moving from place to place while giving instructions.
"You're late kid," Boss Danzo said and threw an apron towards Gustav's position.
Gustav caught it and wore it with a smile.
"Good morning to you too boss Danzo," Gustav greeted after he finished wearing the apron.
"Huh? wipe that cheeky smile off your face, I'm not falling for it," Boss Danzo shouted out as he turned towards the left.
This caused Gustav to smile even more.
"Sure Boss Danzo," He replied as he walked towards the large cooking equipment placed in front.
In the past fifteen days, Gustav and Boss Danzo had built a kind of relationship that Gustav had never shared with anyone.
The fifteen days were supposed to be filled with torture, instead, he was enjoying it. Boss Danzo always treated him like he was a real staff. Boss Danzo was liked by everyone for many reasons. He never discriminated against anyone, always valued the input of every worker here including Gustav. Gustav never thought a day would come when someone would utter the word, "Good Job to him," With a warm smile.
Boss Danzo always gave him tons of food to eat saying, Gustav was too skinny and short.
Gustav had really grown to like Boss Danzo. Also, he couldn't see the scheming and vileness in his eyes like the way he saw other people.
Gustav stood in front of a rectangular cooking equipment with seventeen different spots that were oozing out a blue fire.
Ten big pots were placed on nine of those spots.
"I say to wipe off the cheeky smile, yet you decide to make it wider... what a brat," Boss Danzo said as he opened up one of the large cooking pots in front.
Sshhhsss!
Steamy sounds enveloped the place.
"You're gonna be making a Tradashi dish today, combining the mutated fox chick, roasted duck, fried beans, and tomato sauce!" Boss Danzo stated while walking towards where the food items needed were placed.
Gustav's face turned serious as he saw the peeled skin of a dead chick that had a foxy-like head and tail, A freshly skinned duck, and some other foodstuffs needed.
"Have a go at it... and don't burn down my kitchen!" Boss Danzo tapped Gustav's back and left went to stand by the side to observe his work.
Gustav first washed his hands before he started. His right hand first went towards the body of the duck and his left hand grabbed a knife.
Chop! Chop! Chop!
In the blink of an eye, Gustav had already chopped the body of the duck to small pieces with the knife. After doing that he opened one of the pots and threw them in.
Sshhhsss!
The sounds of steaming could be heard again as Gustav's hand moved to the next item.
Boss Danzo watched him from the side with a wowed look.
'This kid is really great,' He thought internally with a smile.
Suddenly he frowned once again as he remembered something.
-Thirty minutes ago
Behind the kitchen building Boss Danzo was having a conversation with a middle-aged fat man sporting brown hair.
"I asked you to make sure he suffers! Give him a heavy workload! Why does it look like you haven't done any of that!" The man spoke with a look of anguish.
"Mr. Lon, he was sent here as punishment to work in this kitchen and he is doing just that!" Boss Danzo replied the man.
"Oh is that how you have decided to play it! You want to protect that trash!" Mr. Lon stated with a threatening tone.
"I don't know what you're talking about, Mr. Lon... Gustav is serving his punishment just as you four wanted," Boss Danzo stated and turned around to head back towards the kitchen, "If you'll excuse me, I have work to do,"
Boss Danzo didn't even bother looking backwards as he walked into the building.
"Oh, we shall see!" The man stated and turned around to walk towards a red floating vehicle in the middle of the road.
If Gustav was here he would recognize the man who was one of the teachers in the disciplinary committee.
-
'I wonder what those bastards have against this kid,' Boss Danzo wondered as he stared at Gustav who was currently running from pot to pot and putting ingredients inside them.
The aroma of his cooking entered into Boss Danzo's nose and he smiled.
'What a good lad,'
---
The school activities ended uneventfully again today. The environment became rowdy again as students walked out of their classes towards the school park where their rides will be waiting to take them home.
Gustav recollected today's activities as walked towards one of the buildings he was meant to clean today.
He couldn't find anyone of the subjects they had today, substantial except for Miss Aimee's.
"I am close to channeling my bloodline past the fourth point... it only needs a little more push," Gustav said as he remembered that one of his classmates had successfully channeled his bloodline past the fourth point becoming the first Zulu ranked mixed-blood in their class. Drale Godson was his name and he was among the students who Gustav planned to deal with.
Class three had several students that had channeled their bloodline past the fourth point but Drale was the first student to do that in class 3 c.
Gustav was able to sense his bloodline within his body from the time his bloodline got upgraded to F.
He had been channeling it day by day during the middle of the night to make it move further and increase in quantity.
Also, his daily usage of morph helped in the increase. He was only a little step away from channeling it through the fourth point now.
Gustav was walking on the path that led to the Mixedblood training hall.
He was currently passing by the side of a pitch where some mixed-bloods could be seen playing a football match.
This was one of the Mixedblood playing grounds. The mixed-bloods couldn't mingle with normal people because normal people could get hurt due to their high level of strength.
This was why Mixedbloods had their own sports grounds located separately, where they played among themselves.
Bam!
All of a sudden a loud striking sound reverberated across the place.
Gustav turned to look towards the left and saw a blazing ball coated with fire heading towards his direction.
"You kicked it in the wrong direction idiot!" A loud voice shouted out from inside the pitch.
Zwwhhhii!
The ball cut across the air in an arc with an astonishing speed as it flew towards Gustav.
The speed was way too fast for a normal person to follow but Gustav saw could see the incoming blazing ball.
Gustav reacted by quickly stretching out both his hands with speed.
Pow!
The sound of collision rang out as the ball got trapped in between Gustav's palms like a keeper protecting the goal post.
The force made him slide back a bit but he was still alright nevertheless.
Shhhsshh!
Smoke was erupting from the ball and his hands as the fire went out.
He stared at the students approaching with a cold look.
Thank you all for the votes now you can support more by sending gifts if you wish to.
I'm thinking of creating a discord channel where we can have conversations about Gustav future prospects and plans. We could even talk about the plot and you can ask me for spoilers.
If you wish for me to do this, comment below.
If we're able to get to 600 votes this week. The chapter release rate will increase.
Thank you all.

Mist was erupting from the ball and his hands as the fire went out.
He stared at the students approaching with a cold look.
The students playing in the pitch were heading towards him.
There were about seven of them headed in his direction. Four of them wore a yellow sporting vest with white shorts while the other three wore green sporting vests with blue shorts. They all had bulky builds that made them look like bodybuilders.
"Hey, are you alri..." One of them wanted to ask when he recognized the face of the person who caught the ball.
"It's you," The student who was currently in a yellow sporting vest with long blue hair pointed at Gustav.
"Return our ball," He said with a threatening tone.
Gustav held the ball in front of him with one of his eyebrows raised, "Is that how to apologize?"
Gustav recognized these students to be from class 2. Which meant they were his juniors.
They were his juniors yet he looked like the junior among them due to his size.
Normally students of class 3 will not be seen playing since everyone was busy trying to channel their bloodline through the fourth point.
"Apologise?" The male student stared at Gustav with a look of bafflement.
Hahahaha!
The seven students suddenly started laughing hard after hearing what Gustav said.
"This trash has the guts to tell us to apologize! Trash like you who only know how to use enhancements drugs don't deserve an apology!" One of them voiced from the side.
"Alright since there's no apology I guess your game is over!"
Immediately Gustav uttered those words his hands on the ball clenched tightly.
Pah!
A loud bursting sound reverberated across the place.
Gustav's fingers had pierced through the ball causing it to burst.
Gasp!
'How did he do that? even with my strength right now I can't destroy the ball unless I attack it with my full power!' The male speaking earlier had a look of disbelief as he stared at the ball that had been completely flattened.
This ball was a special type that was specially made to be stronger than normal. Its elasticity made sure they didn't sustain injury when they kicked it yet it was powerful enough to withstand their kicks when they made use of their bloodline abilities.
When mixed-bloods played football they made use of their abilities in the game which was why the ball was coated in flames the other time. One of them used his bloodline ability to fire a shot.
'He must have made use of those drugs again,' Most of them came to this conclusion after thinking about it.
The student wanted to speak again when he saw something headed towards his face.
Gustav threw Whatever was left of the ball at the face of the student who just spoke.
Pow!
It was only a casual throw, yet it packed enough force to push him back.
"Arrggh!"
The student exclaimed in pain after the unexpected hit. He held his nose which had a drop of blood running down it.
"You bastard!" He spoke while holding his nose.
"Oops, my bad... I was just trying to return what belonged to you," Gustav said as he moved slightly to the left and started walking forward.
Gustav passed by their side as he kept walking on the path.
The remaining six did not try to stop him.
"You bastard where do you think you're going?" The student with the bleeding nose quickly dashed towards Gustav from behind.
He swung out his fist from the back.
Gustav continued walking forward like he didn't even know that a fist was headed for him from behind.
Just when the fist was some centimeters away from touching the back of his head Gustav suddenly shifted his head towards the left.
Swhiii!
The fist passed by the right side of Gustav's face from behind missing him by a hairbreadth.
The student didn't relent and continued sending out fists even after he failed to land the first.
Swhhii! Swerve! Swhhii! Swerve! Swhii!
Gustav dodged every attack with ease and fluidness.
The junior student threw out an enlarged fist as he moved forward. This time it was obvious that it was much powerful than before.
Gustav who had been dodging without even turning to face the student all this time suddenly swerved to the left and stuck out his right foot.
'Hmm?'
Due to his body moving forward with sudden acceleration from the heavy fist he threw out, he couldn't stop himself in time even after seeing the foot stuck out in front of him.
Trip!
Immediately his left foot collided with Gustav's right foot, he was sent tumbling forward.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
He rolled repeatedly across the road before coming to a stop.
"Oops, my legs slipped, you probably should watch where you're going next time," Gustav said as he continued walking forward.
The student gritted his teeth with anger while still laying on the road and turned around to look at the rest of his mates.
"You all are just gonna stand there and watch?" He shouted out with a rage-filled voice.
The seven of them flinched.
"He's gonna use more of those drugs and I don't want to end up like Hung Jo!" One of them voiced out the thoughts of the others.
"You bunch of cowards he can't do a thing to us right now! If he fights he will be expelled!" The student on the ground revealed.
'Oh, so that's how it is?'
Now that they understood, they started walking forward.
They felt that even if Gustav was to make use of the drugs for enhancement, he couldn't dodge every one of them at the same time.
Gustav turned to stare at the six running towards him while channeling their bloodlines.
One of them had dark looking spike extending from his eye, which he dragged out and held like a weapon before running towards Gustav.
Another conjured flames around his fist and legs as he ran towards Gustav. One made small metallic balls appear out of thin air. He placed it in his palm and used his middle finger to start flicking them out one after the other.
The speed of the small balls were like bullets from a gun as they shot towards Gustav
Zwwhhhii!
Gustav moved to the left immediately dodging the first projectile.
Swerve! Swerve! Swerve! Swerve!
Gustav dodged the projectiles cleanly once again. The others had already arrived before him with their attacks when he finished dodging them.
"Hyyahh!" "Hyyaahh!"
They all shouted out as they attacked Gustav at the same time.
Swerve! Swerve! Swerve! Swerve!
It was as if Gustav had eyes at the back of his head as he dodged every single attack from every angle.
The flames, fist, e.t.c every single attack was unable to touch him.
Just like they said, Gustav couldn't attack them for now due to the punishment since he didn't want to get expelled but he had already thought of ways to deal with them without having to make contact.
What Gustav was currently making use of was his high perception stats and speed coupled with agility so he was able to accelerate and decelerate at any given time with ease.
His perception allowed him to sense everything within a radius of twenty meters. This was why their attacks couldn't hit him even from his blind spots.
Gustav dodged in a zigzag-like manner almost like he was dancing.
"This bastard just stay in one place!" One of the students voiced out idiotically with a look of frustration.
After dodging for a few more seconds, Gustav suddenly accelerated backwards.
Fwooom!
His sudden movement and speed was something they had not expected since he had been moving at a particular speed from the start.
'Uh?'
The student who had his fist coated with fire already threw out a punch and it was headed towards the face of one of his classmates but by the time he noticed it, he couldn't stop himself.
The one holding a dark long spike was currently swinging it towards the neck of the student who had his fist coated in fire while a small metallic ball was headed towards his left eye.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
It was too late to retract their attacks so they ended up hitting one another.
"Kiiarrh!" "Kiiaarrhh!" "Kiiarrh!"
Cries of pain rang out as four of them fell to the ground while holding on to different parts of their body.
The remaining three along with the first one to attack paused their steps and stared at Gustav.
Remembering the speed he displayed at the last second made them feel reluctant about resuming their attacks.
'We can't even touch him!'
'Just what grade of enhancement drug did he make use of!'
These thoughts ran rampant in their minds.
"As your senior, I think I have taught you seven a valuable lesson today... come near me and receive boundless humiliation!" Gustav stated with a cool voice as he turned around to keep walking again.
They wondered what Gustav meant by humiliation when they looked around and noticed that they were surrounded by students who had come to watch what was happening. They were focused on dealing with Gustav so much that they didn't notice that they were already being surrounded by students.
They immediately felt true humiliation. A type that seeped deep into their bones as they saw the disappointed stares of the students surrounding them.
-"They couldn't even deal with one trash!"
-"They're all bunch of useless!"
-"They ended up beating up each other without him touching them!"
The voices of the student's ridicules were loud making them feel like sinking into the ground.
Now they had a slight sense of how it felt when Gustav was being ridiculed and humiliated day in and day out.
"I shall deal with him myself!"
A loud voice was heard coming from the left.
Everyone turned to the side to stare at the person who had just arrived.
If we get to six hundred votes today, I will release three chapters tomorrow.
