As he was about to exit of the hall, he heard the same familiar raspy voice that had spoken out earlier.
"What's your name boy?" Sighing softly to himself, be had to contain his rising anger 'I just want to leave this place to test my strength, is that too much to ask?' David thought while turning around.
He didn't want to appear disrespectful so he answer the old man patiently.
"I'm David, you can also call me Dav. Can I leave now?" he was already getting impatient with these people.
The old man behind the desk, leaned backwards in his chair, he scanned David from head to toe. Ignoring his question. The man spoke up after a while.
"Alright Dav, it has been a very long time since someone dared to call me 'Old Man'. You must be a new student right?." The old man spoke up indifferently.
Before waiting for David's reply, the Prof spoke out once more.
"The tank you jumped out from Is called an Energy Tank. And to use an Energy tank, there have to be a payment of 50 Gyno points for each usage." After saying all this, the prof went back to viewing the holographic report he was previously inspecting, ignoring the stunned David.
Normally, to use the Energy Tank, one has to pay 50 Gyno points to utilize a low grade Energy Tank.
Energy tanks are graded by the amount of purity included in them. A low grade Energy Tank contains a high amount of impurities in them almost taking up a 50 percent of the energy tank which are harmful to ones body and progress , but they also contain 50 percent of energy in them.
Too much impurities could shorten the time for one to lose control. It means it could lead to one losing control at a more faster speed.
David's smiling expression had long since turned blank In that moment.
Although he might seem as if he doesn't care much about things, he still knew what 50 Gyno points are worth and he knew they were worth a lot. Since the school gave he only 100 Gyno Points. Now, the old man was telling him he had to pay half of the Gyno points given to him by the institute for something he doesn't know about.
Find, he gained a lot from soaking in the energy tank, but the main theme here is, he didn't want to soak in there himself, and neither did he implore anyone to place him there, so it technicality wasn't his fault.
Thinking up to here, he turned around slowly to face the old man's desk. His formally confident attitude had home through a 360 degree change.
"Sir, Since I didn't come here my self, I clearly didn't ask to be out here. So technically, it isn't my price to pay, I'm I right sir?." David said while smiling politely at the old man.
Upon seeing the clear changes in David's attitude, the interns couldn't help but blink their eyes rapidly in surprise.
The blond haired guy wasn't even surprised at the change, he had already expected something like that from the shameless young man.
He only wanted David to quickly step out of the hall. Once outside the hall, he couldn't wait to see what David's expression would be.
The reason was that, the institute has a type of rule, if David came out of the Lab without paying for the energy tank he had used, he would be forced to pay twice the amount of Gyno points the moment he set his foot outside the Lab. It would still be automatically deducted from his Account.
And if he doesn't have the necessary amount of Gyno points to Exchange, he would be automatically assigned forcefully to a specific task for a specific amount of time by the institute.
That was the Moment the blond boy was waiting for, he could imagine how the other boy's expression would be, and that got him excited. That was the reason he instigated David, to make him leave the lab in anger without paying, so he could finally teach the boy a lesson on behalf of the professor to gain the professor's approval and favor.
Upon seeing the change of David's attitude, the prof raised his eyebrow in slight surprise. After a moment, the corner of his mouth tilted upwards lightly.
"Hmm, your explanation was slightly convincing, go ahead if you think you don't have to pay." the professor's smile widened as he rested his chin with his hands resting on the antique table.
David heaved a soft sigh of relief when he heard this. He put on the brightest smile he could possibly muster and smiled towards the old man.
"Really? Then I will have to thank you sir then. I will take my leave now." David thanked the old man and turned to leave.
The old man's smile widened when he saw David leaving.
Although David doesn't like thinking too deeply into things, his brain soon found that something was wrong with the old man's words and also the atmosphere, he chose to ignore it, but his body was soon reacting to something as his eyes appeared to droop slightly.
He couldn't possibly ignore it this time. He turned around again to face the old man.
"Do I really not have to pay?" David asked again.
The man's smirked and said "Of course, you could chose not to pay if you so wish."
When he heard the words, David's smiling expression had turned expressionless. The man's words clearly meant that he could chose not to pay, but he clearly didn't explain what would happen later and from the old man's smiling expression, he was smiling as if wanting to watch a show. Even all of the interns especially that blond hair bastard had the same face, his expectant expression is more than disturbing.
'An old man like you being so petty, how shameless could you possibly be?' As David thought of this, he put on a disdainful expression while he tapped on his imprint.
And to the disappointment if the crowds, he spoke out the words they weren't expecting him to say.
"Hazel, settle the account from the Energy hall."
A voice rang out
"Done! In 25 minutes, the science class would commence, It's advisable to leave at this moment." looking at the dissatisfied expression of the crowds. David left.
Seeing David's back as he left, the prof just smiled, he wasn't the least bit annoyed.
"David uhn, Interesting young man." He chuckled. Turning towards the students standing at each side of his desk.
"Enough fun for today. Now, the development of the Slit Eye Gene is a very simple and basic procedure, but why the f*ck haven't I seen any one with a 100 percent success rate!?" The prof's raspy voice started off slow at the beginning, but then it was rumbling as loud as thunder towards the end.
He threw the file in his hands furiously which dispersed into a multiple streams of light before disappearing since it was just a piece of an holographic image.
The surrounding interns cringed as they lowered their heads, the professor seemed to be dissatisfied with their progress. But contrast to ones expectations, the interns were relieved because this time, reason due to the fact that in a situation where the professor was really angry, he would be silent but in a case where he wasn't really that angry, he would throw a fit.
. . .
In no time, Dav was out of the laboratory. He was currently standing at the entrance of the building.
Although he was excited about his increase in strength, and also desperately wished to measure his strength, but he knew his priorities well and enough.
Although he didn't look like much, he was a man of principles who knew that there was time for everything, during which, he would perform those duties to the best of his abilities.
When it was time to eat, he would do so without hesitation and even enjoy doing it. when it was time to practice, he would also perform to the best of his abilities and when it comes to reading well, although reluctant, he still forces himself to grasp the limit he had set for himself, and when it came to priorities, he performed them without any hesitation whatsoever and his priority at this point in time was to reach the next lessons before the time runs out and according to his calculations he would need to rush to the next class with his full strength in at least 17 minutes.
Thinking up to here, he speed up the velocity of his body's blood revolutions making his heart thumped in an oppressive manner. if one had an extremely extraordinary hearing, one could seemingly hear the slouching sound of his blood as two sounds of heartbeat propelled blood further into his veins and body as they vibrated with power.
His body was currently filled with energy while his hearts thumped repeatedly like a power piston in a cylinder with force, with his acting as an engine, he tightened his muscles. And then suddenly released it. he dashed forwards with inconceivable speed. A single step from Dav was as long as five meters. He dashed at a speed of five meters per second.
Dav was surprised at his speed, when suddenly his instincts warned him while he was slow to react, his body seem to react without his brain giving the signal, his body bent backwards forcefully as if he had no spine nor a vertebra bone in his body akin to a broken stick. His legs were still running perfectly straight but his upper body was bent backwards flatly parallel to the ground.
In that moment he performed the action, he watched with wide eyes as a metal block almost two cubic meters brushed past his lips bruising it slightly. Cold sweat instantly formed in his back as he thought about the crises he had luckily avoided. He had suddenly lost control since he had almost forgotten his sudden gain in strength. In that moment, he had a feeling. Like an epiphany but also not an epiphany. Like be had comprehended something but also nothing.
But in this moment, he couldn't careless about anything, he could only thank his luck.
If he had rushed in head first towards the metal block, with his full moment, it was unknown what would have happened to him, even with his increase in strength, he wasn't as hard as a steel metal block. His face and body smashing the metal block wouldn't be a pretty sight.
The workers who were operating the machine that uses magnetic force to pull the metal block that easily weighed 300kg were stunned. As the machine required three people who were in sync with each other to operate it, only three of them saw the seen.
These three people had been in the institute for more than half a decade. They had seen plenty of bizarre sights, movements, dight, all sought of things. they had also seen plenty of fights among powerful people that they had long gotten used to them. There was even a time when there was an irreconcilable conflict between two Instructors. The conflict evolved as they had to fight to resolve the issue.
Their fights was phenomenon as the group couldn't step a hundred meters close to them otherwise, they would suffer, and in a worse case scenario, they wouldn't even know how they had died and would only watch with wide eyes as their life slips away from their grasp. Clearly, some things within the institute couldn't surprise them anymore as they would just watch with dull eyes
But they were stunned by David's movements. They watched with slight surprise as the scene where Dav's body bent flatly backwards and his lower body still running with large strides. It was as if his upper body and his lower body were two separate entities. Both, thinking and acting differently. The large metal block, brushing against his lips. They couldn't help but look at each other, as if asking 'What kind of bizarre gene did this guy merge with.'
But that was all, they were only slightly surprise at his performance because it was odd. Not because it was powerful or anything.
Dav straightened his body once more. he felt he was truly flexible all over his body although he had felt like that previously, it was alot different this time. Recollecting he had someplace to be, he dashed out fast.
