'This neighborhood might actually be a blessing in disguise,' Gustav thought with a wide grin on his face.
-
At the end of the day, Gustav was walking towards miss Aimee's office as usual.
On his way, he received a lot of glares from different students as usual but this time, it was a different kind of gaze.
The females glanced at him with subconscious desire while the males glanced at him with a slight look of envy.
Everyone couldn't help but wonder, 'Why does he look so attractive today?'
What Gustav didn't know was, his method of walking, the way he stared with a look of focus, the aloof expression, everything action performed by him had improved into an attractive kind of way that made others notice him even if they didn't want to.
His style of walking now was very graceful. His dirty blonde hair had a certain glow to it. Its silkiness stood out. It was smoothly packed to the back with some strands falling in front of his face.
Gustav's blonde hair was previously the falling type, that almost reached his shoulder. He woke up this morning and decided to style it this way instead.
Gustav passed by the side of a female in smooth black long hair. Her face was so beautiful that it could be mistaken for a doll. Her skin was pale white and her face was the heart-shaped type with a pointed nose. Her looks were not short of perfect. She was about 5'4 and her body seemed to have matured completely at first glance due to the massive peaks in front of her chests.
"Uh?" She turned to the side to stare at Gustav who had just passed.
She was dazed for a few seconds seeing his elegance but she quickly came back to normal.
'What's wrong with me? I already turned him down in the past!' She pursed her lips and turned around to face where she was headed.
'But did he not see me at all? He didn't even spare me a glance!' She turned to the side to stare at Gustav who kept walking forward without turning to stare at anyone.
'Hmph! I refuse to believe that this trash will not stare at me even once!' As she walked forward she kept staring at the side waiting for Gustav to turnaround and stare at her but to her disappointment, Gustav kept walking forward without doing that.
She found it strange and still kept staring at Gustav's back for a few seconds before a loud shout was heard.
"Hey, Yuhiko!" A female student sporting chestnut-colored hair called out from ahead while waving her hand.
"I'm coming," She replied and turned back around to start walking towards the other female student.
"What are you looking at?" The other female student questioned after noticing Yuhiko's weird state of turning around occasionally.
"Nothing Mara, let's head to the dojo," Yuhiko replied and focused her sight forward.
"Alright, remember you still have to duel with that Masuba and you have to defeat him or you'll go on a date with him," Mara said with a frown.
"I don't date idiots! especially one who lost to an F-grade" Yuhiko said in disgust.
"Hmm, I still wonder who that F-grade is... They say his physical strength is higher than a normal mixed-blood and he was able to defeat Masuba in a second! The only problem is he is always on the last floor and doesn't like to associate with anyone so there is no way to figure out whether this is true or not," Mara analyzed with an intrigued look.
"It doesn't matter because it doesn't change the fact that a B-grade lost to an F-grade! Do you think I would also lose to whoever that person is?" Yuhiko had an intense look as she questioned Mara.
"Of course not, whether he has an insane physical strength or not, battling is not all about strength, after all, I'm sure you would win," Mara said with a smile.
"Hmph! That Masuba is a disgrace yet still flaunts and has the guts to ask me on a date... I will make sure I crush him today!" Yuhiko said with a look of disgust.
-
Gustav got to miss Aimee's office after a few minutes. On his way, he had been thinking of how to use atomic manipulation bloodline in a battle so he wasn't so focused on his environment.
He knew he passed by the side of Yuhiko who was hailed as the most beautiful girl in the entire school. Also, the same girl who crushed him three years back but he was too busy with his thoughts to even care about glancing at her.
Yuhiko was surprised since there had never been a time when Gustav saw her that he wouldn't stare at her with adoration. His eyes would be full of praise until she was out of sight. She found it a bit bothersome but she enjoyed being worshipped so inwardly she would smile while totally ignoring Gustav.
She had expected this to happen again today.
Miss Aimee and Gustav headed to the Dojo afterward.
-
Two hours after getting to the Dojo, Gustav was about to finish training for the day. He had already sparred with miss Aimee which of course ended in his loss.
Miss Aimee was always merciless when training Gustav and Gustav's speed didn't come close to hers in any way. Even if he was to use sprint, he still wouldn't be able to touch miss Aimee. He would receive barrages of kicks and punches that always made him feel like he was hit by a moving train.
Miss Aimee would say after defeating him, "I'm not even using up to twenty percent of my full strength, you weakling!"
Gustav was always amazed by her strength. The most absurd part was, Gustav had never seen miss Aimee use her bloodline abilities. Whenever they sparred she would always dodge his attacks as if she could predict them. She only trained Gustav in combat but she allowed him to make use of his abilities which she still didn't understand till now.
Gustav only sparred for one hour with miss Aimee and he used the rest to train solo.
He was currently attacking a robotic-looking machine. This was a similar battle Android to the one Endric battled against when the inspectors arrived close to three months back.
He had been using disintegration ability repeatedly. He wanted to train it well enough to use in combat but it was proving impossible.
This was the ability tied to the bloodline he got from Ben. The day he extracted this ability, he found out that it was very slow and impractical to use in combat.
It was a very good ability but it slow. The day he killed Paul he used this ability to disintegrate billions of Hung Jo and Ben's brain cells.
The ability was able to make anything it came into contact with, disappear. Gustav had been testing it out repeatedly. It was very slow in causing disintegrations from an atomic level, luckily Gustav only focused on the cerebrum when he was using it which made it faster.
When he tried disintegrating something larger, it would take time before he could completely make it disappear.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Gustav's hand glowed a milky light that only he could see as his palm struck the two-meter-tall Android.
It was barely visible but whenever he struck a part of it, that part would reduce a bit. It would compress slightly but it wasn't due to his strength, it was due to the disintegration ability.
Gustav squatted as he dodged the swung-out left arm of the Android and threw out his palm towards its side.
Bam!
Contact was made again, this time the left side of the metallic Android sunk in by an inch.
'It's improving but...' Gustav was in his thoughts and was about to throw out another attack when he heard voices coming from outside.
He paused his attack and moved backward.
"Activate sleep mode!" Gustav said.
"Going into sleep mode!" A robotic voice was heard as the Android shut down.
-"Here?"
-"Yes, this is the dojo,"
-"Just call him out already,"
-"You call him out, isn't that why you're here?"
Gustav could hear the voices of some people coming from outside.
Young masculine and feminine voices could be heard in some sort of argument.
'Looks like they finally grew some balls,' Gustav turned around and started walking towards the door.
'Time to collect more compensations,' A wide grin could be seen on Gustav's face as he got to the door of the dojo and slid it to the side.
I plan to post the next chapter in eight hours time. Remember, if we're able to stay in top 100 till the end of the week without dropping, the release rate will increase by next week.
Please keep supporting and I will make sure I keep improving.
Thank you all.

'Looks like they finally grew some balls,' Gustav turned around and started walking towards the door.
'Time to collect more compensations,' A wide grin could be seen on Gustav's face as he got to the door of the dojo and slid it to the side.
Immediately Gustav slid open the wooden doors what appeared in his line of sight were two boys and girls. They looked to be teenagers like him and he could recognize two of their faces. Two of the boys were among the students that watched the fight between him and Aurora, along with Masuba. The other two girls were unknown to him.
The four of them immediately stopped arguing after seeing Gustav appear.
"Is that him?" The girl on the right sporting black and purple hair questioned one of the boys.
"Yes, he's the one," One of the boys who had a chubby look answered.
"What? He looks so tiny and weak!" The second girl who sported brown hair spoke with a look of ridicule.
The two boys' faces paled as they heard that.
"I thought it was going to be someone more intimidating," The girl with black and purple hair spoke again.
"He looks like a pretty boy, how could Masuba lose to this feathered-looking person," The other girl sporting brown hair spoke again.
The both of them spoke like Gustav wasn't standing in front of them.
The faces of the boys paled again upon hearing the conversation of the girls.
They stared in Gustav's direction with a frightful look. Surprisingly Gustav didn't even look bothered. He just stared at the girls like they were some clowns performing a circus act.
"He's right here, you know?" The chubby boy couldn't bear it anymore and finally spoke since he was afraid of Gustav misunderstanding the situation. He didn't want Gustav to think he was also among those insulting him.
"What's this? You're scared of him?" The female sporting brown hair questioned with a look of disgust.
"If you don't have anything tangible to say I will return to my training, I have better things to spend my time on than wasting it on watching a circus act play out in front of me! You two should get your circus monkeys out of here," Gustav said to the two boys and turned around to enter the dojo once again.
"Hiss, did he just call us...? How dare this...?" The female on brown got mad immediately and wanted to approach Gustav but the other girl dragged her back.
"Remember the rules?" The girl sporting purple and black hair questioned with a reminding tone.
When the girl on brown heard that she calmed down. One of the rules forbids fighting within the premises of the dojo. Fighting was only allowed through duels and failure to comply would result in a permanent ban.
"Don't worry senior Yuhiko will take care of him for us," The girl sporting purple hair whispered in the ears of the other girl as she smiled.
Gustav's ears caught what they said even though he was already about to close the door. Perception had increased his five senses so he would hear even the tiniest of whispers so long as they were within the range of detection.
"Please wait," The boys were the first to call out to Gustav before he could close the doors.
"What is it?" Gustav asked while turning his head to the side.
"Masuba would like to invite you to watch his duel with Yuhiko on the second floor," The chubby boy answered.
"Yuhiko would also like to invite you to watch the duel," The girl sporting purple and black hair spoke.
"Is that why you all are here?" Gustav asked.
"Yes," The group of four nodded.
"Not interested," Gustav turned around after answering.
"What?" The two girls were surprised that Gustav would turn them down even after hearing the name of the person who was inviting him. No one in the dojo could claim, they hadn't heard of the most beautiful and powerful girl in the dojo.
The boys weren't surprised as they were already used to this cold attitude since Gustav had turned down their friendship several times.
"Please senior Gustav, Masuba is willing to do anything for you to attend," The other boy wearing a pair of glasses spoke.
"Oh," Gustav looked interested after hearing that, "Is that so?" he came out of the dojo again as he questioned.
The boys nodded in affirmation.
"That's good, but before I can decide to come with you these rude girls must apologize," Gustav demanded.
"What? I'm not apologizing to this..." Before the girl with brown hair could even complete her statement Gustav interrupted her.
"Alright we're done here," Gustav turned around once again to head in.
"Ah, please wait," The boys called out to him but he didn't answer. He went in and slammed the door shut.
It was after he went in, that the brown head girl realized her blunder.
"You know senior Yuhiko will take it out on you when she hears the reason for us failing to bring him with us," The girl on purple and black hair said with a sigh.
Even the boys were sulking because they knew Masuba was likely to punish them if they failed.
The girl on brown had a look of fright before speaking, "Let's call him out so we can apologize... I don't think we have any other choice right now,"
They started knocking on the doors after that.
After a few seconds, Gustav came to answer them again. This time a look of annoyance could be seen on his face as he demanded for the girls to apologize on their knees this time.
"How could you...?" The girl sporting brown hair was about to speak again when Gustav interrupted.
"I'm going back in then," He turned around to leave once again but this time the girl sporting purple hair quickly reacted by kneeling and dragging the one with brown hair down with her as they begged for forgiveness even though looks of unwillingness were written all over their faces.
Gustav was smiling inwardly after seeing this but his outward expression was still the same.
"Let's go then,"
-
On the second to the last floor, a small stage that was similar to the one Gustav and Aurora had their first duel was placed in the northwest corner of this floor.
A group of young boys and girls could be seen gathered around this stage. There were about twenty of them and they seemed to be waiting for something or in this case someone.
Two of these people were Masuba and Yukiho.
Masuba was on the left side of the stage while Yuhiko was on the right.
The same inspectors that played as referees for Gustav's and Aurora's fight were also present and they were all waiting for the same person before the duel commenced.
Yukiho had a look of annoyance on her face, 'What's taking so long, I can't stand this idiot staring at me in this kind of way! I want to stomp on his face as quickly as I can!' she thought in her mind as she stared at Masuba who was also exchanging glances with her. Masuba was staring at Yuhiko with a longing gaze. He stared at her like she was a holy being, a deity that wasn't supposed to exist on the earth, and truly Yuhiko looked the part. She was unrealistically beautiful.
'Just look at this idiot, he practically has drool leaking out the side of his mouth.... no different from how that guy used to look at me, hmph!' An image came to her head but she looked quite disturbed as another image interloped with the one she first pictured.
'Just what was...?' She didn't get to complete her thought when loud voices were heard in the vicinity.
-"He's here,"
-"Is that him?"
-"Wow, he looks quite weak,"
-"How could Masuba have lost to him?"
-"But he also looks pretty, hehehe,"
Everyone turned around to stare at the group of five who had just arrived.
The person in the middle was who they were referring to.
Yuhiko stared at the group approaching with a look of shock visible on her face.
"That's...? How could he be the one?"
Vote vote vote... keep us in the top 100 with your votes and expect the release rate to go up by next week.
