"You are quite the tenacious one aren't you?" He hadn't walked three steps when a familiar and tender voice spoke out.
David's body froze visibly, suddenly, he felt his heart skip a beat without him intending it. Strange lights flickered in his eyes. He was thinking at an incredible speed.
He turned around slowly and looked towards the voice. His expression calm.
His eyes couldn't help but twitch by what he saw.
Janeane stood up unsteadily from the floor. Her current situation was quite pitiable as blood flowed down her lips.
Her hair was in disarray, the slight make up she had on her was messed up as dust and sand had settled on her face.
Her expression right now was ugly, borderline sinister.
Most importantly, her shirt had been blasted into oblivion by David but, to David's surprise, she wasn't naked as he expected. No, quite the opposite!
Her innervest was unharmed!
David could see a slight silvery metallic substance fading back inside her body. He could guess a few things and came to a conclusion that it was what had protected her from the power of the Three Fold Technique. If not, she would have at least ended up with a sunken stratum and a row of broken bones.
David's heart uncontrollably clenched in apprehension.
"Oh? I won't fall before you do. You seem quite alright to me. So, you should be able to handle another round." David's expression was nonchalant as he made a motion for them to continue their combat.
He rotated his blood to their limits! His heart beat wildly! like the roar an alternator! Blood surged, like a river as his physical body was strengthened to its limits. His muscles had bulged by quite a bit as he appeared a taller by a few centimeters!
40 Cycle per minute! The winds seemed to be stirred up by the pressure !
His current expression was quite savage as he hated hatefully at her! She was the first person he had ever suffered a loss from. His hate towards her was growing by the second.
Janeane was so angry that she smiled sinisterly when she heard him. But as if she had remembered something, her gaze flickered with a strange light as she glared at him with hatred. It was likely he was angering her on purpose, making her intent on attacking him.
She was currently weak and although her physical strength without blood revolution was nothing to scoff at, judging by the pressure he was exuding, their powers were almost quite at the same level.
If she forcefully rouse her blood velocity, she would definitely injure her internal organs which would in turn lead to at least two months of recuperation.
She had assumed he was also the same, but from his stance, he was either putting on a facade or he was for real
She hesitated, she had been tricked once and she wasn't willing to be tricked for the second time.
She stared intently at him, wanting to figure him out. In the end, she gave an hateful glare that was enough to chill any heart down his way.
"Bastard! I will take that position from you by any means, you just wait and see!" Stomping her foot in anger, she turned away and with a few leaps, she had vanished from sight.
Exactly four seconds later, Cough! Cough!!
David's body crumbled to the floor as he coughed out a mouthful of blood. He was incredibly weakened. He was just putting up a ahow, hoping to to scare her off, his internal organs were almost severely injured. Singlet of tears had appeared in several positions in his veins and blood vessels, they were on the verge of rupturing.
But it wasn't worth mentioning as he could just recuperate in the Energy Room for a few hours, he would be fine again.
He was exceedingly lucky that she had chosen to leave when she had. If not, he would be no different than a chicken in a slaughter house.
He suddenly smiled 'That was a good fight. It was worth it.' he had been hoping to spar with someone to see how strong he had become. Unexpectedly, he was given the chance to compare.
Wiping off the blood in mouth, he limply left the place, the crowds of students and the onlooking workers.
"Congrats on winning your first Forced Duel. Your account will temporarily be protected from any Forced Duel for a week. Afterwhich, the protection would expire. Good luck!" The cybernetic voice faded into thin air.
"What?" stunned, as he wasn't aware it was a Forced Duel.
* * *
He was really tired as he walked through the familiar hallway that lead to the Energy room.
Walking into the large door,
"Eh? It's you!" "Uhn? It's you."
Two voice rang out simultaneously as David glance at the figure behind the counter, directly opposite the expensive chair and desk he had seen the old man sitting on previously.
David's voice was quite casual and weak while the other voice rang out in an accused tone.
It was the blond guy David had an argument with the last time he was in the Energy Room.
And it appears that the other party also recognized him and also held a bit of a grudge against him.
John stared at the rude junior before him with slight annoyance, apparent in his tone.
"Why are you here?" increasingly annoyed, John spoke first.
"To make use of the Energy Room, obviously." He rolled his eyes at the stupid question.
Ignoring him Davis made his way toward the pod that looked Ike a coffin.
The piece of machine looked like the gaming capsules he had read from the fantasy like web novels in his dream. No, not his dream, it was his previous life.
It was a Cryogenic Pod. It's main purposes was to freeze the human's bodily activity. The body freezes, the heart slows down by a lot, the brain cells would also be slightly frozen.
The reason for that is because - for one to enters an energy tank, one would need to be in deep sleep which could only be induced by the Cryogenic pod. In the deep sleep state, one's body would temporary forget to breathe. After a few moments of deep sleep, a mechanism in the Cryogenic Pod would be activated, transporting one's body directly into the Energy Tank.
The fluid in the energy tank contains different kinds of elements. In which it includes oxygen, a massive amount of energy, mercury, protein, carbohydrates etc .
The oxygen element contained in the fluid was to provide the brain and body oxygen. The mercury is to aid the fluid in penetrating the body more easily. The massive amount of energy was to help strengthen, heal and enhance the body. The element containes the crushed Genetic Nucleus of the Rapidly Evolved Beings mixed with special vials and concoction.
The body was the main deciding factor in such cases. As it would readily absorb the fluid since it was beneficial to the body.
There are levels to energy tanks, on a normal circumstances, the first is the Black Grade Energy Tank.
Which was especially meant for those who started just started on their own path to power.
There are levels to Energy Tanks. The institute has three levels which it kept available to the public, and one, exceptionally kept privately for and by the Grand Professor of the institute.
The first type, which is the Black Grade is only meant and used by Spryhers - the newbies of the institute. the students who gain strength on the circulation of the blood. Cost 50 Gyno points per usage.
The second, the Brown Grade is only meant to be used by those who had advanced in their practices as Spryhers to become a Phaser. Becoming a Phaser is the true beginning on becoming an expert as they had opened up their Genetic Pool and had merged perfectly with a Gene after which, they could casually utilize the Genes they had fused with, Phasing in and out. Utilizing the Brown Grade Energy Tanks,
Costs 5000 points per usage.
The third, the Red Grade is used by Phantom Beast Master.
Phantom Beast masters are a level above Phasers. They had perfected the series of Genes they had fused with into a Single Powerful Entity.
When in battle, the peak of their states, they could call forth a Beast Phantom! Making for a perfect long ranged attack method. Costs 500,000 Gyno points for a single use.
Most instructors in the institute are stuck at the peak of this level. While a few instructors had a bit of luck to advance from the level to the next stage.
The main reason for that due to the fact that, it was necessary to utilize the Energy Tank. Either for strengthening the body or for recovering from injuries sustained from battles.
To improve further, the most common, easy and perfect way to advance is through combat. And not battles with fellow humans nor an ordinary spar. No, only battles with stronger REB's would most definitely Increase one's strength. If the battle is lost, and was successfully able to retreat unharmed, one's battle capability would increase by a fair amount.
But if one was successfully able to win, killing the strong REB's, one's strength would soar at an amazing pace.
But although the strength increases, if that person soaked in the Energy Tank, the rate of improvement would double at that moment.
* * *
David was quite unaware of this and he was especially not informed on how to get through to the Energy Tank.
He ignored the blond guy and moved to the front of the energy tank.
A five meters transparent glass tank that was filled with unknown blue fluid to the brim, stood in front of David. Not waiting to admire the beauty of it.
John watched on with a wide smile as the ignorant junior walked towards the Energy Tank. His mind screaming 'Jump in! Jump in!!'
Although he had been assigned to guide the new students on the process of utilizing the Energy Tank but he could do nothing to those who ignored him. In his mind, he wasn't at fault since the ignorant junior didn't wait to listen to his explanation.
Dav ascended through the stairs leading to the top of the tank since it was almost 5 meters long in height.
Standing at the edge of the tank, Dav gazed at the thick bluish liquid, adjusting his state of mind, ready to submerge, he was about to enter, when he instinctively felt that something was wrong as his body was reacting in a weird way again.
He muttered something to himself afterwards , he climbed down from the stairs. He had deduced that his way of entering the Energy Tank seems to be wrong, otherwise his body wouldn't react in such a way for no reason. It's seems to be the exact reason the senior was assigned here.
Dav's eyebrow furrowed. Dammit! I don fvck up. Need to amend things with that arrogant prick. Clearing up his expression,
"Greetings senior!" With the grandest smile he could muster he turned to face the blonde guy who seemed to have a malicious smile on his face.
"Forgive me for my negligence as I had been in a bad mood earlier, I apologize for the inconvenience I had caused." he continued with a smile that was certainly fake and a tone which seemed apologetic but also bland.
John's smirk widened. "Oh, and what does junior want with me?" he directly ignored David's apology as he went straight to the point.
David felt things were going bad, and without hesitation, he dropped the pretense. "I assume you were put in here to assist the students through the energy tank." David's face had turned expressionless as he looked at John.
He was just being polite earlier, thinking the senior might be compromising seeing as he had lowered his pride. But it seemed the senior had other plans in mind as he refused to budge a bit.
Noticing that David had dropped his pretense, John couldn't help but laugh widely.
"Haha, you are right, but what about it?" Folding his arms, John leaned his back against the chair, while gazing provocatively at David.
"Do you mean to say you won't assist me with it?" David smiled as he asked. John's job was to assist the new students. As long as he said 'No', he would definitely lose his Job.
John's face darkened as he glared at David. "You sure are sharp with your tongue, aren't you."
"Thanks for your compliments, I try my best." with a slight smirk, he replied.
Gazing at David for a moment, he abruptly said, "Okay, you win." walking towards the metallic long box, John pointed out.
"That's called a Cryogenic Pod. It induces you to a deep sleep, after which, transporting you into the tank. Just tap on the button to open the lid." John said straightforwardly as if he had forgotten the earlier argument.
David stared suspicious at John as the change in attitude was nothing short of suspicious.
Waving his hands, "Do not worry, I have no authority nor power to open the Pod without your permission. So, be at ease." he Assured him.
Although David could guess he wasn't lying, his mind wasn't eased in the slightest, instead he felt restless.
He couldn't understand how a person could change his attitude like that in a blink of an eye, just like a switch.
But, he was way too tired to care about that it. So, he ignored the alarms ringing in his head.
He pushed down the button under the gaze of the smiling John.
Air puffed as the sounds of mechanisms rang out. With a whoosh, the metal lid opened revealing a space that could fit a regular human perfectly.
Not bothered about anything, he just wanted to take a rest, he laid down the space. With a light thud, the lid closed as David had laid within.
Lying down in the Pod, he could hear his heart beat and the sound of his breathe.
Under the span of a second, Atmospheric Chemicals was injected into the air as the air in the Pod became chilled as cold seemed to seep into his body, he could immediately feel the immerse chill rising.
'No wonder it's called a Cryogenic Pod' Dav could only mutter this words before he fell into a deep sleep.
Meanwhile outside the Pod, John turned around to walk back to his desk as he snorted. "You think you can just walk Scot free? Going to the Energy Tank twice when it's not even a week yet, He truly is ignorant." he smiled while his eyes glowed with a satisfied expression.
From his expression, It appears that entering the Energy tank twice in a week is quite dangerous but this was Davids second time in the Energy Tank in the span of two days, no one knows what would happen.
