Chapitre 168: FRONT-FLIP

Afton groggily wakes up as notifications popup in his peripheral. Opening his eye's he's greeted by the white ceiling of the clinic. Doctor Usanagi didn't seem to be around at the moment though.

Afton checks the notifications while activating VATS so no one would bother him.

[Perk gained! : Agility Implant]

[Agility Implant] : Permenantly increases Agility by 1

[Agility Stat has reached 10! Perk gained : Masterful Movement]

[Masterful Movement] : Your Agility has reached peak human levels, you're able to perform actions and movements thought impossible to do. Parkour, dodging, jumping, sprinting, and much more has been given a huge boost!

...

Huh, Afton didn't know what he was expecting. Maybe he thought he'd get some superhuman ability? He didn't actually know how good [Masterful Movement] was, perhaps it did give him superhuman abilities? He'd need to check once he gets out of here.

Closing VATS he sits up and notices the stray splotches of blood decorating the table he was still on. He didn't see any wounds though, Doctor Usanagi must've used a Stimpack to heal the before they scarred.

Due to being forcefully put unconscious his mind feels slightly fuzzy, but the feeling is quickly leaving the longer he's awake. He puts a foot down to stand up but didn't spot the blood on the floor, just as he's about to faceplant into the floor his body reacts on its own, leaping in the air while performing a front-flip. Afton luckily lands on his feet without slipping again, but his expression isn't composed at all.

It felt like someone was playing a prank on him, he hadn't been able to do that before... It must be the Perk... He wasn't sure whether or not that was a good thing, during the flip he felt completely in control, as if he could alter his moment at any moment. Not to mention the fact that the flip itself had felt instinctive... He hadn't been able to do front-flips before the upgrade, so the Perk must've given him the knowledge to do so.

To be honest, now that he was getting a proper feel for his body, his movement felt... Tighter, cleaner and with less resistance. As if his whole life he'd been wearing weights on every part of his body.

He throws out a couple jabs and the air audibly whips in response, the speed he was capable of was stupid fast. He throws out a kick, and marvels at the fact that it looked faster than any he'd seen before... Even in his previous life, Bruce Lee wasn't this fast...

This all couldn't be just from the Perk, it must be a combination of the Perk and his maxed out Agility. He hadn't noticed it when he upgraded his Agility last time, but now it felt like a substantial increase.

Though, something was strange about all his improvements... The Implant was only supposed to increase his Reflexes, yet it felt like his whole body had been affected. Was it the system maybe? Converting the Implant from its original use into a Perk? Did he even have the Implant any longer, or had it just been deleted and integrated into his body?

Afton had many thoughts about these new changes, all of which were undoubtedly supernatural. If Doctor Usanagi were to learn of his strange body she'd probably strap him down and dissect him, that's how valuable his body was to the fields of medicine and biology.

Shaking his head, he looks over to his discarded clothes and starts putting them back on. Once completely dressed he walks towards the door and opens it, revealing the guards, Karl, and Doctor Usanagi. All of which seemed to be conversing.

"Ah, so you're awake? How're you feeling?" Doctor Usanagi asks, cutting off what she was speaking with Karl about.

Afton nods, "Good. Very good. When I get more caps I'll be sure to visit again." he says enthusiastically. She wouldn't know just how much he'd improved, but the rest of the Mojave would likely learn of his new abilities soon.

"I hope it was worth it kid, 4000 caps ain't nothing to sniff at." Karl says from the side as he hands his weaponry back.

Afton shrugs, "Whatever, what do you wanna do now? Can't say I really want to camp outside again."

"Well, we could try one of the places in Freeside... You wanted to look in New Vegas for that friend o' yours so we might as well."

The duo bid their farewells to Doctor Usanagi and leave, spotting Boone still sitting in the same spot, he was currently cleaning the Anti-Material rifle he'd bought. He releases the bolt causing it to click as he spots the duo. "Finally out then?"

Afton nods with a grin, "We're headed to Freeside to get a proper room for once. I know, I know, you can't hold back your excitement." he says before chuckling at Boone's blank face.

The group get moving yet again, riding up towards the North gate of freeside. There seemed to be a couple guards smoking cigarettes outside of it, but all of them were dressed very weirdly... Slicked back greasy hair, white shirts, jeans, and leather jackets with the words 'Kings' inscribed on the back.

They all turn towards the group as they ride up to the gate on Dirt-Bird. "Damn, now that's a fine ride!"

"Don't mention that bike, look at the guns they're carryin', look like they're comin' back from a war zone. Best not to antagonise these peeps, ya' hear?"

...

They seem to be trying to mimic how Elvis used to talk... Very, very weird. How did they learn all this anyway? Is Elvis Presley still alive somehow? Afton shakes his head, no matter how weird the wasteland can some times be, an immortal Elvis Presley would definitely take the cake.
