Multi-Gene

Suddenly, David raised his head up slowly as he gazed at the five students who were currently staring at him in disbelief and an expression which contained a massive amount of fear.

It was as though they had witnessed something incredibly stupefying.

David said only one word with killing intent in his eye as his figure disappeared. "My turn."

Five-fold Step!

"Run!" Kleon immediately shouted in fear, warning his gang members. As he took off running. He obviously didn't warn them for good reasons. He was just hoping David pursued them, giving him enough time to escape.

Appearing behind a young man who was still stunned, looking at his afterimage still kneeling on the floor, David punched without hesitation.

Bang!

Like a kite without a rope, the young man was sent flying with a miserable cry from his lips, crashing into the wall of the hall, his fate unknown.

The other four were pretty quick to react as they immediately performed their motion techniques, disappearing like smoke in different directions since there wasn't one entrance to the hall.

Their speed was astounding and in the face of a plausible death, their potential seem to have been unlocked as they zoomed through the air like a phantom.

But how could they be faster than David. Their motion technique was only a Black grade technique while David's motions technique, Three-Fold Step was a red grade technique.

The difference between the two was as clear as day. Two grades higher, it was no small amount.

Forget about the difference between grades. The differences in their blood circulation was another different matter.

Non of them had even reached a 100 cycle per minute. The highest that David could sense was Kleon which had only reached 71 blood revolution per minute while the lowest had only passed through the first milestone of 1 cycle per second, just 63 cycles per minute

While David's CPM was almost double theirs. The difference in power was like the difference between day and night?

In a flash, David had appeared before the second member, he didn't even have the opportunity to scream before he was blasted into an unknown location.

In the blink of an eye, four miserable cries rang out which was abruptly cut off.

Kleon could feel the cold sweat of fear dripping down his head as his spin tingled.

But as he exited the caves entrance, his mind calmed down by a bit afterwards, with renewed vigour, his motion technique flashed him through the trees as he attempted to escape.

Suddenly, his expression changed drastically and without hesitation, he tapped a specific location on shirt.

All of a sudden, ripples spread around him as a force field attempted to form, David withdrew his hands as he watched the force field form and envelope Kleon with interest in his eyes.

This was his first time seeing one and although the principle behind it had been roughly explained to him and the other students in the institute, David couldn't understand some of it.

But now that he saw it live, he was intrigued. 'This guy must be very rich.'

Two gadgets in the hands of a single person, he couldn't even begin to imagine how much that would cost.

An offensive gadget would cost about 1000 – 1500 Gyno points while a defensive gadget would cost about 2000 – 3000 Gyno points to purchase in the institute.

After the barrier had fully formed, the fear in Kleon's face morphed and he laughed as though he had gone crazy.

"Just because you are strong doesn't mean you can kill as you like. Let me just tell you, I am the son of a professor in the institute. You can never hope to imagine the amount of resources the institute had spent to nurture me." Kleon growled

"This mid grade defensive gadget had been personally given to me by mother. Its defensive capability can withstand the full power of a 2 cycles per second Spryher." Kleon sneered.

An then greed suddenly shine in his eyes as he looked at David whose whole body was in a bronze like colour, he almost looked like a war god statue that was alive.

"If you tell me what training method you are using, I might just consider not telling my mother when we get back and also drop everything you have gained from the Underground basement." Kleon threatened.

David blinked his eyes in astonishment. 'Is this guy dumb or stupid?'

'Neither, he believes you can't break the barrier with your strength but you do not want to let him report to the professor about you, your secrets might be exposed by then.' Hazel suddenly chirped in.

It was true, if the professor truly investigated the reason he could use Three-Fold Step, a motion technique as a Strengthening technique, his secret ability of absolute control would be truly exposed and by then, he wouldn't even be able to die if he wished for it.

David only smirked. "I want to see if your barrier can withstand my fist."

Kleon's face darkened as he said "Try it then, this is the last chance I'm giving you, tell me your Training technique, and I won't report you to my mother."

David smiled as he replied, "Don't worry, you won't be doing any reporting."

David suddenly moved like a phantom as he punched at the barrier with lightening quick strike.

Scorching Fury, boosted with his Training manual Formless Heat.

Bang!

The barrier instantly rippled, but it held.

It held for only one second and then.

Crack!

It broke into pieces instantly!

David's fist didn't slow down at all as it punched at Kleon's chest.

There was a sudden puff and Kleon looked down with disbelief written on his face.

He still couldn't believe it, he touched David's arm which had penetrated deeply into his body as though to confirm if it was real.

But it truly was. He the spoke out with hatred written on his face and as blood filled his mouth.

"M-my mother will know of this, y-cough cough, you will never escape.." Breathing his last breath, he died with grievance.
