Chapter 25 - Unusual
After David was calm enough, he couldn't help but think back to the stunts he had just performed just a minute ago.
His eyes couldn't help but widen in astonishment and surprise. Diving backwards was a very simple thing to do. But the maneuver he pulled towards the end.
In which he twisted his body as if it was elastic or like a spring board where one pulled back towards one side building potential energy then fire at an extreme speed towards the opposite direction due to kinetic energy.
He didn't even think thing through as he didn't have the time, it was life and death back at that moment.
Normally he would be unable to pull something like that off in a normal day as he wasn't that flexible.
As he was about to think things through thoroughly, he raised his head up to listen as the voice of the instructor rang out once again. Cutting through his thoughts.
Instructor Aella continued "Currently, I would like to congratulate some of you for finally stepping onto the first and most important step in becoming an expert."
She glanced towards the students, her expression had long since turned stoic.
While her eyes unconsciously turned towards one particular student of hers for a second, her gaze in that moment was tinged with a hint of pity as she looked at him but it immediately cleared up as if it had never been there. No one noticed at all.
To those whose body already accepted the Genome planted in them, she had seen their abilities during the test and her Personal Artificial Intelligence had already sent the list of students that successfully merged with the Genome with their images directly to her brain
She soon spoke up once again, while fixing her glasses with her Snow white little fingers.
"Not to waste my time and energy, I won't list out names. Those of you who feel any changes to your body, it could an increase in your flexibility, or if you feel that your body becomes lighter with every breath you take or you feel a bit stronger or lastly, you feel that your heartbeat has risen exponentially at one point in time, move to that place.'' she pointed towards a particular side of the field.
Upon hearing her words, David immediately closed his eyes, he could feel that his heartbeat had risen and although his heart rate was now calm, he remembered how fast it became when he thought that he was about to die. He also felt his body was getting stronger at each heartbeat. Although it was a tiny bit of increase, he could still feel it increase by a tiny amount.
'Hm?' David's eyebrows furrowed as he felt something strange he closed his eyes deeply and at the same time, concentrate his focus to increase his senses. He suddenly noticed something strange and foreign and wierd, beating alongside his heart inside his body. He could exactly say what it was but it felt like a second heart.
Shock and interest appeared in David's eyes as he opened his eyes wide abruptly.
He was about to check to confirm what he had just seen when a loud voice rang out from his front.
"Be fast with that, don't waste my timeā¦go NOW!" instructor Aella shouted as she glared at the students whose expression keeps in changing alike the light of a multicolored beam of light.
Some of the students wore an incredulous score on their faces as if they couldn't believe the things they had noticed. While some were happily performing stunts like backflips and front flips which was now as easily as moving their hands.
But upon listening to the instructors words, without hesitation, they immediately scrambled towards the position the instructor had pointed towards in that instant.
David also rushed to line up together the other students. As his body seemed light to him, and his strength which had slightly risen, with the stomp of his foot, his body propelled him with do much force, he felt like he was flying. His body already tilted to one side due to the uncontrolled strength.
If not for his quick Witts like David likes to think, instead of his instincts, he would have crash landed face first on the field.
He Immediately turned his legs and waist as he used the force to perform a backflips.
As he landing on the ground while heaving a sigh of relief to the fact that he almost died. Going back to his formal position in the new line of students formed.
He instantly felt a dangerously cold gaze gaze. His body reacted instantly as his eyes drooped lowly. his body relaxed while his body entered his abnormal battle mode.
He suddenly felt his blood circulation slowed down considerably but the force at which his blood flowed in became heavy. His heartbeat thumped with a force that attempted to breakthrough out if his chest. It was a like a patient panther, ready to pounce at any given moment.
The transformations happened in an instant. David was aware but he didn't have the opportunity to confirm. He scanned his surroundings for the hidden enemy.
But as his gaze swept past the students, towards the instructor, he instantly saw the instructor glaring at Him like an angry lioness.
His heart immediately froze as he Swiftly exited his combat mode, looking towards his shoes like it was an interesting piece of art.
She had just shouted at the students to make haste and stop their nonsense, bit this little bastard still deem it fit to execute a backflip after she had just spoken. She felt she had been rudely disable. But that anger was changed into suspicion and interest.
With her keen gaze, she had clearly seen how his body seemed to relax as if he was about to go to sleep which was wierd considering the fact that he had just performed a backflip. What was even weirder was that his heartbeat also slowed down, but each beat was immensely powerful.
It was pumping blood at a slow but forceful manner as though it was restraining it self, waiting for a single moment to suddenly strike! As though he was executing a combat technique.
Instructor Aella was immediately surprised as she had never come across such situations before, she made a mental note as he AI recorded the images and scans it had gotten from him.
Although it was unusual, it only made her about 2 percent interested in him.
