Chapter 277 - Silver Body Tempering Exercise!?
"Listen carefully." Mr White's voice grew stern as he leaned forwards in from his seat.
David could tell he was being serious and didn't dare to joke around.
"I have only managed to stall the professors from personally coming after you for revenge. But that doesn't mean you are safe as yet."
David also knew not to be complacent about the matter. Although the professors had promised not to personally come after him and they possibly can't hope to deal with him in the institute, there are still lots of ways they could use to eliminate him.
David nodded his head in response. "It's good that you aware of the situation. I would advice you not to go out for any missions anytime soon, but with the mission assigned to your class to grade the students, it's impossible to remain in the institute during the mission as you must participate."
Professor White frowned and thought it was an headache. If it was just a normal test, then he could do something about it buy this was very different.
"Anyways, just be vigilant. Although you got first place during the event, that doesn't mean you are the strongest amongst the new students." The professor warned.
"Moreover, It's better if you advance to the Phaser stage before you leave for the mission since you are still a Spryh- Eh?!"
Mr White's words were abruptly cut short and his eyebrows furrowed as he gazed at David.
His eyes suddenly flashed an invisible wave erupted, sweeping against David's body.
David felt a chill run down his spine and he felt extremely uncomfortable. Subconsciously, his body reacted to the treat.
"W-what do you think you are doing!?" David shrieked
Every pores in his body instantly closed up and his skin and muscles hardened significantly but not enough to activate the bronze body.
The invincible waves was instantly repelled back as it bounced off his skin as though he was nothing but a block of metal.
"Interesting." Mr White's eyes shone brightly as he muttered. Standing up from his seat.
Suddenly, the glow in his eyes intensified. Instantly, slightly visible waves erupted from his eyes and in the blink of an eye, the waves roared and engulfed David within, attempting to penetrate through his skin.
David was barely able to see it coming and unconsciously he let go of his restraints, the silver body he had been holding back instantly revealed its self.
His body immediately turned silver like a sculpture and every couture in his body became defined and chiselled.
David staggered backwards in reflex. He angrily stared at Mr White "The hell are you doing old man!?"
"Eh!?" Mr White stared blankly at David's new look for several seconds before his expression changed into one of confusion then to disbelief.
His body trembled slightly and he pointed at David. His mouth opened and closed rapidly like a fish, unable to even form out his words.
Finally, he closed his eyes and took in a deep breath which lasted for ten seconds. Finally, opened his eyes and then was expressionless, he had already regained his composure which was as expected of a senior professor.
He took his seat and stared dead eyed at David.
"Is that the silver body or an imitation of the silver body?" although composed, he still couldn't contain the visible hint of excitement flickering through his eyes and the tremble of his voice.
David was slightly taken aback. He couldn't understand why the old guy was having this sort of reaction.
"Uhm, if I say no, will you kill me."
"Of course." Those words were without hesitation.
"Then it's the Silver body." David immediately replied.
Mr White breathing got a little rough and the eyes he was using to stare at David was as though he had found a precious gem.
When David was beginning to freak out and inch closer to door, Mr White's voice suddenly changed and he asked in a low voice.
"Who else knows about this?" his voice was grave and solemn as though David's life depended on it.
David frowned and felt the reaction form the senior professor was uncalled for but still replied. "Those who knows about it are dead."
Mr White nodded his head and sighed in relief. "Good. That's good. Let it remain that way."
When he said this, he brought up his interface and rapidly clicked on the holographic image. Then his expression was one of reluctance as though he was hesitate about clicking on that particular button.
David watched on but choose to remain silent.
Finally, he tapped it and then a few seconds passed after which, he a book no smaller than a jotter was brought out.
Flicking his hands, the holo book flew towards David. Although startled, David turned in his holographic image and caught the book.
"What's this." Grabbing the book with his hands, he checked the title and saw the words 'Silver Body Tempering Exercise '
David glanced at the the book in confusion and then also glanced at the professor.
"It is as you've read. It's an exercise that grants one the silver body at the perfection stage"
"What!? The silver body can be practiced?" David asked in shock.
He had literally gone through hell just for his bronze body to finally advance to the silver stage and had felt proud of it. But now that he saw there was actually an exercise for it, shock ran through his body and he wanted to weep.
"Don't misunderstand me, although the The Silver Body Tempering Exercise also grants one the silver body, its power is roughly only 20%-30 the power of the real deal, so it's nothing compared to the real deal."
"Oh. But why didn't I see it in the archives? I pretty much swept the entire place a few months ago" David was finally able to calm down he then asked, confused.
"Your authority level is still very low, moreover, you wouldn't be able to purchasing it anyway." Mr White responded.
"Oh. But why are you giving it to me then?"
"For safety. Practice the Exercise to the highest level and until then, never reveal your true Silver Body in public or even anywhere." Mr White's voice was extremely solemn and stern as his warning echoed through David's ears. Even after he left his office.
As for the reason why, Mr White had responded like this, 'The tallest tree attracts the most wind' and in his case, it was an hurricane that would come for him not just an ordinary wind.
