[▪︎Main/Virgil's Pov▪︎]

Tilting my head to the right, I dodge John's beam just as it was about to hit me. I have already trained my reaction speed to subsonic levels so dodging his heat vision is childsplay.

It seems my plan of making him angry is successful. I don't know a lot about his physical capabilities but from what I've seen in Vogelbaum's memories, he is way stronger than me physically.

When humans are angry, their rational side diminishes, and thus they move and act without much thought.

Judging by the look on his face, he was underestimating me and so he didn't think I will be able to dodge his beam.

Taking advantage of his pause, I stretch my left hand and send a telekinetic wave towards him, sending him flying and hitting the wall on the other side of the room, cracking it in the process.

He groans and gets up from the floor a few seconds later with no injuries, only his eyes shining red in anger.

I know it won't damage him, the attack was meant to create some distance between us.

He floats in the air the next moment and positions his body towards me.

<Boom!>

The air explods and the next moment he is in front of me with a punch aiming towards my face.

I hurriedly block the punch with my left hand, the force behind the punch sends me flying but I position myself mid-air and flip backwards making me land on the ground safely.

My left hand is feeling numb after taking his punch. Even though I've been neglecting my physique, I know full well how durable my body is through some tests so I knew I could at least block his punch.

If it wasn't for my [ESP] which sensed the punch and my accelerated thought process, which then made me see the world slower, I wouldn't have been able to block that punch.

He is able to break the sound barrier at this age, I'm impressed but it's still not enough to harm me.

"How does it feel to be beaten by someone you called trash?"

He asks with a smirk. He is looking at me from above condescendingly.

"I'm impressed, I never imagined you were this fast. But the game ends now, it's time to get serious."

I reply with a smile.

I've been developing some techniques and moves but I haven't really gotten the opportunity to test them out yet.

I'm refraining from using my [Telepaty] in this match as it will make the fight too easy and I want to use this fight as an opportunity to train and polish my skills.

I can end this fight in a few minutes but where's the fun in that, the audience will not like that and it's been long I satisfied my inner sadist.

I grin and levitate the next second.

Surprise shows on his face but this time he frowns and makes himself ready instead of blindly rushing at me.

I guess he is learning huh? Oh well, it doesn't matter at this point.

"[Force Pull]."

I mutter in a low voice executing a pulling gesture with my right hand.

John yelps in shock as he moves towards me at high speed the next second with no control of his body.

I go into a boxing stance and reel my left hand which is now okay and wait till he gets to my position and punch him in his stomach with my hand which is now covered in a barely visible membrane.

My punch sends him flying downwards with enough force that it creats a huge crack on the floor with him groaning due to the internal shock he feels.

I don't wait for him to recover, and with a wave of my hand, he is sent flying into the wall close to him creating a large dent in it.

He falls to the floor and gets up with no injuries other than a few scratches.

He has a fear-stricken face, but it quickly gets replaced with anger as his eyes glows and the next moment a beam of highly concentrated heat is sent towards me.

With a thought, a barely visible transparent concave shield is projected in front of me effectively protecting me from the beam.

It is dispersing the beams into small rays that strike the ground, burning it and creating holes in it in the process.

The beam doesn't stop but is constantly striking the shield with an increasing concussive force that is pushing me backward in the air.

The shield starts to crack due to the force so I utilize another technique.

"[Force Push]"

<Boom!>

A wave of concussive force emits from my body immediately spread across the room, creating large cracks on the wall and pushing John to hit the wall with his back, embedding him in it.

This gives me enough time to fly towards him at high speed, effectively catching him off guard and strike him with a drop kick.

<Bang!>

The force of the kick sends him further into the wall sending dust and debris everywhere making the room shake uncontrollably.

I land calmly and watch as he drops onto the floor from the human-shaped hole.

I don't bother to check on him since he is probably unconscious, so I turn and walk towards the door that is behind me.

I only take two steps before I hear coughing noises behind me. When I turn, I see him gradually standing up from the floor with his clothes in tatters but his body with no injuries.

My eyes widen when I see this as I don't want to believe that after all that damage he will still be unharmed.

The shockwaves his body experienced alone should have knocked him out but there he is with no visible injuries.

A part of me is screaming to strap him down to a table and experiment on him to see how much he can take.

But my logical side takes over the next second as I know I only had to either fully scan Vogelbaum's memories or acquire his experimental records which is easy given my current status.

My brain only takes a second to discover a way to incapacitate him fully so I make my way towards him with an eerie smile on my face that frightens John when he sees me approaching him.

"The fight ends with the winner being Virgil, write what you want and give it to me tomorrow."

Doctor Vogelbaum's voice announces.

Hmmm, it seems today is his lucky day. Oh well, there will be a next time eventually.

I stop and smile at John who is standing at the moment looking at me like I just fucked his mom in front of him.

I turn my back and fly towards the door leaving behind a fuming John.

I've already looked into his mind but I couldn't scan it fully because of the time. What I've seen is enough for me to make a profile on him and that's enough for now.

I guess it's time to fully scan the memories of the important people around to know the things I'm missing because a lot of things don't add up.

And with that I leave the room, thinking about all the plans that need to be set in motion.
