Chapter 308 - Strange Old Man



"I'm going to kill you!"

BOOM!

The fire around his body roared around his body like a fire storm,distorting the atmosphere and burning every particles in the air to crisp.

Suddenly, there was a drowning sound of something charging and then, a muffled thunderous boom sounded out as the fire around Bane's body exploded with a bang. 

This force propelled Bane's body by an unimaginable degree. He was like a raging dragon with untamed fire weaving through the atmosphere and in the blink of an eye he was directly before David.

Fire formed around his fist and he punched directly at David's chest. It appears he didn't plan on killing David and just wanted to render him completely helpless since he didn't use his claws.

But what happened next made Bane's mouth open wide and his jaw immediately dropped in shock. 

David had grabbed his burning fist with his own ordinary fist. Holding the fist so tightly and not minding the burning force around them. 

There wasn't the slightest bit of sound as David absorbed the entire force of the fist into his own body without causing the ground to explode. 

David face turned expressionless by this point as he gazed at Bane with complete indifference. 

"Who do you think you are?" his voice was cold, penetrating and chilling to the ears that one couldn't help but shiver from it. 

As he said that, the fire around Bane's hand was instantly extinguished as though some kind of genetic force was suppressing them. 

That wasn't all, the suppressive force spread from Bane's hand, growing from his arm, to his chest and his body within the seconds, extinguishing the flames around his body. 

A completely domineering genetic force gushed it from David's body, rushing right into Bane's body, dispersing his own genetic force that was feeding and creating the flames, dispersing them into nothingness. 

Bane eyes revealed a bit of fear but he couldn't believe he was going through such humiliation by his fellow student. In a moment of desperation, he roared out loud, agitating his cells to the absolute limit and feeding even more genetic force to the flames. 

Causing the fire around his body that was being extinguished struggle and flicker back to life. 

In a pure rage, he clawed at David, with his flaming claws that glowed red with fierce heat. 

"Riiip!"

The air between the two was being torn apart and David seem to be too slow to react or didn't even react at all as the claws tore through his body. 

"Shiiiiiing!" An ear piercing sound penetrated through their ears as the sharp claws scratched through David's skin, unable to penetrate a single centimeter into it. 

"That's impossible!" Bane's hoarse voice muttered to himself. His expression instantly turned pale as he stared at the scene that had happened before him. 

David was originally still indifferent but then, he noticed that his shirt was burning to aches due to the fire from the claw. 

He immediately exploded into a rage. "One of my favourite shirts!"

"Boom!"

He slammed his foot against Bane's chest, sending him crashing through several trees into an unknown distance. 

"My shirt!" David's face was livid as he stared at the half shirt. He had just wanted to show off his strength to allow that guy to see the disperity between them. 

He didn't think it would cost him his black shirt. He glared at the distance in anger. "Tsk Tsk Tsk. You really did deserve that. You could have just escaped from all this trouble since the beginning but instead, you chose to act cool." Hazel criticised. 

David gritted his teeth and then sighed before he turned around and start walking off. 

"You still aren't running uhn? Guess you just haven't learned your lessons yet." Hazel's said reprimandedly. 

"How else I'm i going to get a shirt to enter the city of leave with a half burnt cloth?"

"They would just think I'm some mad person and refuse to open the gate which would require me to force my way in which will eventually activate the city defensive system which by the way will obliterate me in seconds!" David retorted. 

But Hazel remained silent. "That's right. You only keep quiet when I'm right."

"Or when you act stupid."

David directly ignored the small mutter he heard inside his head. He had given up figuring out how his AI's personality grew to this point. 

A few minutes later, David flung an unconscious student aside and tried on the new cloth. 

"It's a perfect fit." With that, he stomped his foot to the ground and with an explosive sound that cracked the ground and a shockwave that level the jungle in a one meter radius, David was propelled forwards.He was now ready to enter the city. 

* * * * * * * * * 

Half an hour later, David reached upon a huge majestic gate that was being held by gigantic City Walls, protecting the city within. 

David could see as every person who entered and exited the city was being thoroughly inspected by the machines at that was at both side of the gates after which, was then further inspected by another set of soldiers at the gate. 

The security around the city gate was very tight and as David watched on further, his eyes opened wide. The defensive mechanism being used by this city was even more astonishing than he had thought. 

"That's a fvcking Suncraner 420H! A whole four being placed at the city wall." 

"If they placed this one out in the open, which ones did they keep hidden." David muttered in astonishment. 

"Are you new here kid?" Suddenly a the voice of an old man sounded out from behind him.

David's expression tightened and his face twitched. He slowly turned backwards like a robot as he stared at the old man who had appeared behind him without his notice. 

Even his intuition failed to notice the old man. Suddenly, David face lossened and he sighed In relief as he smiled at the old man. 

The man was just an ordinary mortal with no power at all. He wasn't even radiating any wave which stated he wasn't even a Spryher which could explain why he couldn't sense him in the first instant. 

But to approach him behind him that silently, David attributed it to him being so focused about the weapons on the city wall he failed to notice the old man's footstep.

"Yes, I'm new to this place. But how did you know about that?"

"Haha kid, that's because you talk too loud." The old man laughed gruffly as his white beard flickered left and right. 

David was a bit confused since he was almost sure he said that in his head. But he decided to let it go as he might have really said it out loud.

He laughed in embarrassment a she responded. "I guess my voice must have being really loud. Sorry to have disturbed you old man."

The old man smiled as he waved his hands. "Don't worry about it kid. You can call me Old Addict. What's your name kid?"

David was taken aback."Uhm, Old Addict? You sure?"

"Don't be so wishy washy about people's name kid. It's fine. Just call me Old Addict."

"Alright, whatever you say Old Addict. I'm Floyd by the way." David responded back at the old man with a smile. 

The old man gazed at David with a strange expression and his eyes flickered with a strange light. "Floyd? You sure about that?"

"What? Why do you ask." David was still smiling but his body was strangely vigilant as he stared at Old Addict. 

"You have a strange name Kid." The old man replied back. 

"Never mind that. I see you know your weapons well, seeing as you could recognise the four Suncraner 420H almost instantly." The old man said as he also gazed at the weapons on the city gates. 

"I try my best. And although I don't know much about weapons, I've read about weapons like this in a textbook."

"Is that so?" The old man stared at David with that same strange expression that made his eyes flicker with lights. 

But it was just too fast for David to notice it. "Yes." David nodded his head. 

The old man nodded and he bent down slightly towards David's ears as he said in a mischievous tone. "Do you want to know the weapons they kept hidden beyond the gates?"

David stared at the old man for a while trying to determine if the old man was joking or not but then, he gave up and laughed it off. "Old Addict, it's impossible for the City to reveal it's protection plans to the public. Stop trying to trick me, it's impossible for you to know about that."

"Is it?" The old man smirked and then gazed at David with a mysterious look on his face. 

David's laugh instantly paused as he gut closer to the old man. "Are you really serious?"

"Absolutely! I know the hidden weapons in the city gates." The man said with absolute confidence on his face that seem to say 'Praise Me!' in absolute confidence. 

David quickly placed his hands on the old man's mouth, appearing very anxious.
