She thought for a while, having thought of something, 'Troublesome, will just dump them in an energy pod. They would have to pay up once they woke up. ' having thought up to here, she picked David up by the collar together with seven other students.
She spoke up to the few students who were still standing in a clear voice
"When you all are done with the exercise, you can then leave. See you in… whenever. " With a single thought, she called forth her pink sky cruiser which was over her head in just that the amount of time the eyeball takes to roll.
Stomping her foot, she was instantly catapulted through the air, towards the opened cockpit. Passing through the entrance with a perfect arc. The two thrusters by the sky cruiser instantly trembled as if storing energy.
With a 'Whoosh', large amounts of heat burst out simultaneously, sending the sky cruiser reeling forwards at an immense speed, leaving behind clouds of warm air.
. . .
Opening his eyes, breathing out heavily, he had to admit though, that was the most satisfying sleep he had had since he transmigrated. He was about to roll over so as to sleep more,
"Hm?" His body seemed incredibly heavy. Opening his eyes, to check what was wrong. His vision was incredibly blury and was stained with a tinge of blue in them.
His drowsiness was instantly cleared as though someone poured cold water on his body.
His mind swiftly cleared as his body relaxed and his heartbeat began to get heavy. Upon this, he tried to inspect his surroundings more carefully.
When he inspected his surroundings, David froze in shock.
That was because he is currently submerged inside a transparent fluid that had a tinge of blue in them. It was as if the fluid was previously blue and then, it had been absorbed by something. He was quick to realise the reason why his vision was stained with the blue color
But the fluid was almost clear, and he could see far. It was when he focused his eyes adeptly did he realise adequately where he was.
He was situated inside of a tank, floating freely inside the tank which contains the blue fluid.
He looked around whilst he was still submerged in the fluid, he saw that he was in some kind of a laboratory and that laboratory was filled with hundreds of tanks. They were almost five meters in height. meanwhile, the tanks also contains the same blue fluid but some were more concentrated than the other and more concentrated than the one David was currently in. The tanks seemed to have different rows of tubes connected to them.
The tanks were arranged systematically to fit themselves side by side. Leaving only a slight space in the middle to walk on.
There was almost at least 100 piece of tanks arranged to fit perfectly in the wide space.
"What the–" David was thoroughly confused as to why he was currently in the submerged in a liquid. He thought back to the last thing he was doing before he woke up.
As he went deep in thought, his eyes instantly glazed over, but his expression was that of one who was smiling.
Shaking his head to get rid of the thought as his rationality came back.
"I think I need to avoid that girl at all cost, don't I?" David muttered but all that came out if his mouth was only bubble.
Flapping his hands, David's head came out of the liquid. He could see more clearly now and he saw that he was right about the large hall. It was a laboratory.
He raised himself to step out the tank with the descending stairs that was connected to every tanks.
Stretching his body, popping sounds rang out of his body rumbling lowly like that of a muffled thunder.
"This is–" he noticed that he was naked, but his attention was caught up by something else entirely.
Looking down at his hands, he clenched his fist tightly. The air seemed to howl at the sudden clench of his fists. He felt his body was filled with massive strength that wasn't there before, his movements appeared sleek, agile and more graceful, almost like that of a trained panther.
His blood, flowed in his body, similar to a surging pond raised by the winds. His heart, pounded ferociously in his chest, but it wasn't uncomfortable. In fact he felt that it was exactly how it was supposed to be, or maybe even stronger.
His skin and muscles, appeared to be more toned than it previously was. When he touched his skin, it felt almost like leather but not that hard though. A simple paper cut would be unable to scratch his skin.
Smiling widely, with a light tap of his feet, he jump down from the tip of the five meters long tank, not bothering to take the descending stairs.
Instead of the normally loud sound of his body hitting the floor, with a light thump, he landed with the grace of a skillful feline with his legs slightly bent, no broken bones or any complications.
Upon witnessing that he possesses such he abruptly burst into laughter like a mad man while holding his stomach, he was both blissful and delighted. His heart couldn't help but be filled with pride. His laughter was loud, wild and brazen
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha–"
"Keep it down boy or shall I do that for you?" A raspy voice appearing to be that of an old man rang out admist his frenzied laughter.
David's laughter was swiftly cut short by the voice. He couldn't help but turn his head around, towards the entrance of the hall where he appeared to hear the voice.
He saw an old man sitting behind a desk that looks quite old and antique and most definitely going to be very expensive. The old man was on the verge of reading a report judging by the holographic sheet he was currently holding, when he was was interrupted by the sudden laughter that came from david.
Beside the old man was a group consisting of 14 people standing equally at both side of the old man's desk. They were dressed in a neat white coat while standing quietly with their heads lowered.
But, they are currently glaring daggers at the naked David.
Seeing as the group of people who were just a few years older than him dared to glare at him, he just rolled his eyes. Apparently, he was in a good mood, so he would let it slide just this ones.
"There is no need for that old man, i would just leave right now." david said casually as he turned around to pick up the blue robe hanging by the sides of the tank.
He swiftly took the blue robes casually, while putting them on gracefully.
Sighing out audibly in happiness, he turned to leave the lab.
But what David was unaware of was that the moment he said the word ' oldman ' the group of interns momentarily drew in a muffled gasp of cold air. Muffled because they had quickly suppressed their mouths with their hands.
They glanced at each other, while trying to hide their astonishment. It was a well known fact in the institute that the professor dislike people calling him an old man.
The old man's eyebrows furrowed when he heard the words too. He gazed at the now smiling david who was currently about to leave though the entrance.
It appeared as if he really didn't like being called an old man. And by a junior at that. It wasn't that he doesn't like called an old man, in fact, it had nothing to do with it. The problem was that, he really wasn't an old man.
Extreme power comes together with an extreme price. After passing through the stage of 'Spryh' the higher one's amount of blood revolutions are, the more possibilities one has in Incorporating with a powerful gene. Although, it also has something to do with how long one could persist in the Adrenaline state, but that isn't the main ground for advancement.
The white haired man was a four star talented individual back when he was still a student of the institute. He had advance from the 'Spryh' state at the 299th blood revolutions. He was undefeated by his peers and was also the most talented students among his peers. His confidence came from the fact that he could remain in the state of Adrenaline twice the amount of his peers
Because of his confidence, he had chosen to develop and incorporate with a powerful gene that had the requirements of a 300th blood revolution Spryher.
Because if his decision, he had been admonished and counseled by the head of the institutes And also the instructors tried desuading him, because the consequences of merging with a powerful gene when ones body is clearly not prepared for it nor strong enough to control it, one might just lose control. He was aware of this fact, but he remained firm in his decision.
According to his calculations back then, he had a 10 percent chances of dying, 30 percent chances of transforming into a mutant, and a 60 percent chance of survival.
In the end, he successfully developed and also successfully merged with the gene but not without an extreme side effect.
Although he merged with the gene successfully, it still took a toll on his body, with a considerable side effect hence his white hair and eyebrow.
He almost failed though at the critical moment as the duration of his Adrenaline was a second and a half late than his calculations due to him merging with the gene.
The powerful gene sucked a bit of his life energy as fuel since his body had no energy to provide. Making his face look slightly wrinkled and rough. So at first glance, he appeared to be an old man.
Although he was like an old man, he was one of the strongest professors of the institute. One could infer from that fact that it was worth it to gain the power he currently had. If he was asked to make the decision again, he would still choose to merge with the Gene.
But if one looked closely, one would see his true appearance clearly. It was just that his face was a bit rough.
The professor's flash back was interrupted when one of the interns by his side quickly spoke out before david had the opportunity to step out..
"Wait, You haven't paid for occupying an Energy Tank yet!"
Upon hearing this, David's smiling expression dropped slightly. He tilted his head to the side slightly.
"Are you referring to me?" David asked while pointing at himself.
The intern who spoke up was a young man who looked to be 19 years of age. He had a light brown hair with a buzz cut as his hairstyle. A very handsome face with a slightly wide smile on it. But instead of making David comfortable, the smile hid a malicious intent which david had sensed since the moment the voice sounded out.
David's body currently appeared to be relaxed, while his muscles hardened, akin to that of a tempered steel.
But before his body could complete the transformation, he quicky put a stop to it, because at this moment, he was completely filled with absolute confidence. He believed that with his current strength, he could handle any of his peers at the moment.
If it was before, he wouldn't be able to stop his natural instincts towards a strong being because he had tried previously but it was to no avail.
But now, he had grown slight stronger and it appears his contract over his body appears to be more refined.
The young man smile dropped as his face hardened when he heard David's reply. He stride towards David with slow but heavy steps. "Yes, I was referring to you." he said, while stopping a meter away from him, glaring at David, face to face.
"Oh, is that so? But how can I pay for something i know nothing about?"
"I don't know what energy tank you are talking about. And I sure as hell do not remember coming into this place."
"So, who so ever has brought me here is the one to pay." David retorted with a wide smile and an innocent face before taking his leave. He was happy about his rapid increase in strength already, so he wasn't about to let a random nobody ruin his good mood.
The blond boy was stunned slightly as he had never heard anyone speak such shameless words with an air of righteousness.
You clearly gained a lot from the energy tank judging by your laugh of happiness but, you are refusing to pay. As he thought of this, his face twisted in anger and as the blond boy was to speak out, he sensed the old man gazing at him with the corner of his eyes, so he quickly kept his mouth shut, went back to standing respectfully by the professor's side but not without shooting a glare at the shameless David.
Laughing softly, David turned around to leave through the exit for the second time before he was stopped again to pay for the whatever tank.
But, reality was cruel as a slightly raspy voice rang out of the hall.
