The individual who had spoken was a Caucasian young teenager. He had a long, light brown hair which he tied in a ponytail. A pretty tiny but long nose with a perfectly symmetrical lips. All in all, he was a pretty attractive guy. He was currently walking towards David's position.
Dav spoon which was about to enter through his mouth paused, as he heard the voice. But as if he heard nothing, he placed the final scoop into his mouth, chewing on them softly. Closing his eyes, he was decent enough to savour the taste this time.
Sighing in delight, he opened his eyes. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a brown haired teenager directly in front of his table, staring angrily at him. Behind the teenager were also three male students, glaring at Dav as if to swallow him.
One, had a large build, his arms almost as thick as one's thigh. He stood behind Nick like a loyal body guard.
The other had a good physique as he was just slightly shorter than the muscular guy but he was with a bald head.
The third student was schorlarly and a lanky youth. One glance at him, one would instantly see that he was extremely sly individual. His eyes seem to shift from place to place. No one knows what plans he was cooking up.
David was a bit startled, he was previously so immersed in the feeling that he had completely ignored his surroundings. Looking at the guy, David frowned. But upon noticing his angry expression, David's eyebrow rose slightly, thinking they were asking him to give up his seat. Suddenly, his expression regained its calmness.
"I'm done anyway, you can have the table now." David gestured while he stood up. Making his way out of the cafeteria. He knew that the best reply to give someone like him is to just ignore them.
Nick's expression changed slightly as he gazed at David's back who is currently walking towards the exit of the cafeteria. Nick had an ugly expression on his face.
Suddenly, the lanky youth whispered something in Nick's ear. His ugly expression loosened, returning back to his arrogant and humorous expression, he seemed to remember something, as he smiled maliciously.
"Wait!" Nick called out towards David. He was a few feet from reaching the exit when he heard the voice. Dav's expression tightened. He glanced towards the Caucasian youth with the corner of his eyes.
"What is the problem?" Dav was getting impatient. And it was clear from his tone.
Nick wasn't angry at all. He had thought of a plan. "You seem familiar to me." he tapped his head with his head lowered as if to remember.
"Oh, I think I got it now. You were with us when the instructor dropped us in the Energy Room." Nick spoke out with a smile.
'Uhn?' It was news to Dav as he hadn't thought of the fact that he wasn't the only one that had recuperated in the energy tank. But, so what. Although they might be in the same set, he doesn't appear to be concerned.
"Then, what about it?" Dav replied in a dull tone. He didn't see the point of this conversation.
Nick's smile froze but then it became frosty. "According to the rules set by the institute, I can request a compulsory Duel to a student per week. In which the other party must accept, as long as there isn't a big enough gap in the power level." His smile grew wider as he said this. He was already imagining himself beating him up.
They were up to five students that the instructor had dropped to the energy room. He had challenged two other Students who had been to the energy tank with them and he had won.
But although he won, it wasn't an easy win though. If it weren't for the fact that he was a Three Star talented individual he would have lost the first battle not to mention the second.
His one day of practice is almost the same as a Two Star talented individual's two days of practice, but that wasn't enough to dw
He had actually selected his Exercise Manual two days ago. The Energy Tank had already strengthened his body by a fair amount and together with his talent, and through a night of practice, His blood revolution had reach a level of 20 cycles per minute! A terrifying 1 cycles per three seconds! From its previous 12 cycles per minute. He was definitely stronger than he was, and previously.
He was confident enough to defeat his most of his peers. Although not all, he was still confident on defeating most of them! As he stared at David, although he tried to hide his malicious smile, but it was still ozzing off of him.
David's frown deepened further. Although he had skimped through his student's guide, he had read of something like that and he knew Nick wasn't lying either. He was just puzzled about the fact that Nick was so sure he was one of the students that was taken to the Energy Tank.
Scratch that, it's difficult, thinking deeply into things.
He train of thoughts was interrupted as a voice rang out in his head.
"Nick requested for a duel, do you wish to accept? Yes or No?" The cybernetic voice of his AI rang out.
He subconsciously was about to accept the battle, seeing as he had no choice.
"Hm?" His body failed to react though, as he instinctively felt that something was wrong with the sentence.
He checked it again only to be sure that something was really wrong with the phrase.
'He requested the battle, instead of imposing it on me. Trying to trick me? He seems he had used his Forced Duel on someone else or he was saving it for someone special. Ha! Does he take me a fool? ' Without any hesitation, he rejected the request immediately and without waiting for him to talk, he walked out of the cafeteria.
But before he could completely steer clear, he seemed to hear a roar, shouting out the word 'Coward!! '
Hearing those words, David couldn't help but smile faintly while he muttered. "Why would I bother myself when I can possibly ignore the matter."

Back in the cafeteria, Nick's expression kept changing several times. But it wasn't in a good way.
At long last, his expression settled on a shade of green. He was exasperated, indignant. He had used a bit of psychology. He had threw in a suggestion that was almost impossible to ignore towards David.
Those with little mental power and a cowardly attitude or even an ordinary person would subconsciously accept the Duel thinking that they had no other choice but to accept the duel. But David was clearly different.
Although, he had almost accepted the Duel, he still rejected at the end.
He had used the same method into tricking the second person he had challenged to think he had no choice but to fight. It worked perfectly.
But, it obviously didn't work on David. As he was about to bellow out in anger to vent, The lanky youth behind him spoke up again.
in a gentle but clear tone, "Boss, Since he saw through the trick, why don't you just make Stravor battle him." The youth pointed towards the huge guy by Nick's side indicating for Nick to make the huge guy who is called Stravor to battle Dav in a compulsory Duel.
In a gentle and clear tone, "Boss, Since he saw through the trick, why don't you just make Stravor battle him." The youth pointed towards the huge lackey by Nick's side indicating for Nick to make the huge guy who is called Stravor to battle Dav in a compulsory Duel.
Nick's maddened expression calmed down slightly but he frowned.
"What makes you think Stravor is a match for that guy? His physique had been strengthened by the Energy Tank, you haven't been to the Energy Room before, you probably don't know it's mysteries. Stravor is no match for him."
Nick shook his head slightly. He had been to the Energy Room and had soaked in the fluid for a few hours, he knew how strong he became.
"Even if Stravor is a Two star talent, he hasn't been baptized yet by the energy tank yet." Nick frowned.
Sébastien laughed slightly. "I have already considered such matters. Although that guy had been strengthened by the energy tank, and there might be a possibility he his might even be a three star talent. Even more so, he might have practiced his Exercise manual, his combat prowess might even be comparable to yours. But. " Sébastien smile grew as he continued.
"What is the use of such power without control. I am absolutely sure that guy hasn't had enough time to study a Combat Technique nor an Exercise technique. But Stravor has, to the Prosaic Level at that. " He pointed towards the huge guy.
Upon hearing his words, Nick's eyes instantly lit up. "You mean to say, Stravor had started practicing a Technique? And he had reached the first levels of it?" He asked, facing the huge guy behind him, staring at him with expectations in his gaze. Upon, Seeing him nod his head in acknowledgment, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Ha ha ha! Good. Excellent!!"
Practicing a combat technique to the first level in just a few days of been In the institute was astonishing. That person deserved to be called a Three star Combat Genius.
A Four Star talent, and a Three star Combat Genius as his guard, he was indeed very happy.
Strevor had been working for Nick's family since he was young. When Nick was about to study in the institute, his family had used their connections to also Admit Strevor into the institute. For the sole purpose of protecting Nick.
Strevor couldn't help smiling also. He was especially anticipating the moment. He had been with the young master since he was young. He had also done a lot of evil things for him which he was willing to, Since he enjoyed every moment of it. His favorite part was the sound of bones breaking, it is always incredibly satisfying to hear the sounds of bones breaking and the cries of pain and despair.
He had ways tried his best to hold himself back since he was in the institute, but now, he couldn't help but anticipate the battle.
David was still smiling but then, he remembered something as his expression turned savage.
"Why was I not informed of this earlier? Wait, why didn't you inform me first. What stunt are you trying to pull? " he turned towards Sébastien furiously. 'Is this guy trying to control my people?'
Sébastien was taken aback. He hadn't expect Nick to be smart enough to notice something like that.
He had met Nick a few days ago and had given him a couple of ideas, he had noticed that Nick was just the typical dumb young master. With just a few occasional words of flattery, he gained his trust.
But now, the dumb young master was getting a little smarter. It was like they say, if you spend enough time with someone smart, it would surely rub off of you.
"Do not be angry, boss. I had told Strevour that I would surely inform you, but it totally slipped my mind because I was too happy for you. There aren't many people of our class that had reached 3 cycles per second. It's not a stretch to call you a genius seen once in Five decades. " Sébastien lowered his head in an apologetic manner while he flattered him endlessly. But if one looked carefully at his lowered face, deep in his eye, there was an obvious glint of cunniness deep within but he had lowered his head.
Nick was unable to see it. The feeling of being flattered had overwhelmed him.
Still though, he snorted "Hmph, I will let you off this time. And as for that guy."
He snickered "He escaped today doesn't mean he would successfully escape every time." He turned towards Strevor.
"He would definitely attend History class. At that time, send him the forced Duel when you see him. I'd like to see how he would escape this time." Smiling sinisterly, he flung his sleeves as he turned around to walk towards the Meal dispenser.
He would have happily sent one of his lackeys Sébastien especially to pick up his meals as a punishment but it was impossible to pick a meal up for others as ones imprint is needed to be scanned by the machine.

Taking a deep breath, the morning cool breeze blew past his face as he came out through one of the entrances of the Dormitory.
He spoke to his AI for a few seconds, before he set off towards a direction.
It was currently 7:45 am, he had no class for now until 9am.
He needed to know how strong he had v b bbecome so, his destination, The training room.
The Strength Quantum Room was just a few hundred meters away from the two dormitories. The male and the female.
In just a few minutes, he was directly in front of the building, he entered the building.
The Strength Quantum building contained several hundreds rooms in the building as they had been numbered. He walked through the hallway, passing by the room numbered 1 all the way to room number 79.
fhus was due to the fact that the rooms from room 1 - 79 had been occupied. Evident from the large holographic image that shown 'OCCUPIED'.
He reached towards the entrance of the room, he stretched his wrist which had his imprint, directly under the protruding flat metal material. Stuck by the wall five centimeters away to the door.
A few dull rays of blue light, scanned his wrist. The next moment, the door opened up.
Entering through the door, A robotic voice rang out, welcoming him but also reminding him that he had 8 free uses left after which, he would start paying the necessary amount of Gyno points to use the room.
