Multi-Gene

David felt as though a massive force up tied all of his organs and then suddenly yanked them downwards, making him groan in discomfort.

His body also felt incredibly heavy as a formless pressure weigh heavily down on him.

With a slight frown, David glanced towards Presha and saw that she didn’t seem heavily concerned about the pressure. In fact, she appeared quite comfortable.

“That was the warm up, the real training starts now.” With what seem to be an evil grin, Presha stomped her foot, suddenly bursting out with an abrupt force, and with a flash, appeared right beside David. Brutally smashing into him like a rocket.

David intended to move, but his actions were quite sluggish. He was barely able to raise his arm quick enough when a massive force slammed into him, making his body tilt backwards slightly.

“Bang!”

A thunderous roar exploded from their midst, spreading out to every corner

Presha was quite surprised David was still able to endure her punch without stepping backwards, but she soon smiled. The others would have caved in at this point, but David was still able to defend under the five times gravity, he would be able to help in her training afterall and might even last three days before giving up.

Not wastkng a singls moment, Presha pressed on and attacked relentlessly. Her every attack was more like a sledge hammer, striking at David from mutiple angles, the gravity didn’t seem to slow her down in the slightest but aided her instead.

Her waist twisted and like a whip, it lashed against David’s arms, making him grunt. At this point, his entire body was bulging outwards with incredibly defining muscles. Veins wriggling around his arms and face like large snakes. as he struggled to receive her attacks.

With a slight frown on his face, David noticed Presha’s attack seem to utilise the force of the gravity to increase her attack. Any time she struck out, her arms twist in some sort of way and although she was pinching straight, it looked as though she was attacking dowards from above.

Even at his limit, David didn’t look as though he would fall any moment. Although slow, he was barely able to counter her attacks perfectly.

David’s entire focus was on the weird way her arms and leg twisted with every attack. Seemingly defying gravity, she appeared to be floating. He then noticed the slight rhythm her chest moved and the slight tremble of her muscles…

Suddenly, his eyes lit up and his sluggish actions started to speed up, as though he had gotten used to the five times gravity. And in the blink of an eye, he wasn’t been suppressed anymore and appeared to be equally matched with her.

Presha’s sneering expression faded to a slight frown. Had David really gotten used to the gravity so fast? But then she noticed the familiar rhythm David’s body moved at and her expression darkened slightly. Was she learning from him or was he learning from her.

It hadn’t even reached 20 minutes of the battle before David had literally learned a part of the Momentus Physique Art.

A part which took her two weeks to learn, David had learnt it after a minute in combat, just what sort of genius was he?

Slightly angered, she said. “Increase gravity to ten times.”

David’s smiling expression froze and his entire body turned rigid. Before he knew what was happening, a heavy punch landed directly on his chest, making him stagger backwards.

Presha didn’t give him any chance to recover, she rushed at him like a raging bull. Her attacks were even quicker this time. Like a swirling tornado.

David was only able to block 75 percent of her attacks, the rest landed on his body, leaving slight reddish mark on them.

By the time the hour training time had reached, David was covered in multiple bruises and Presha’s face was covered in smiles, happy she had just relieved most of her stress.

“You and I will spend this week getting used trying to get used to each others strength and weaknesses. And then we can go ahead and infuse our attacks with elements. If that’s okay with you of course.” Presha asked, gazing at David with blinking eyes.

A week of this? David immediately wanted to curse. If he could talk right now, the words that would come out of his mouth would definitely not be good.

If the previous David witness what had just happened, it’s unknown if he would bash his head into a wall and die of anger. Was he actually been bullied by a girl no stronger than an Integrated Phaser? In his peak, only the sound of his heartbeat would have vaporized her into nothingness.

After cleaning himself up, David causally walked out of the academy. His body no longer covered in purple and red. That was one of the usefulness of the blood element, he could heal at a rapid pace.

He couldn’t help but wonder why others called the blood element the useless most basic element there is.

Undoubtedly, its not as hard as metal, nor is it as dangerous as fire, or as flexible as the wind or as heavy as the earth or…

David shook his head. Anyways, david felt it was the perfect fit for him, so he wasn’t particularly worried one bit.

Simon wasn’t here to pick him since he had informed him about his late practice.

Tapping on his wrist, an holographic screen popped up. David typed and was about to input enter when he paused. Ever since he had been adopted, all he had learned about this world was from the books he read from the library at home. He hadn’t found the time to explore the place as of yet. This was the perfect time to explore the world.

A relaxed smile appeared on his face and David started moving. His steps were not slow, but neither were they fast.

Numerous Leviteons passed through the air, covering the skies like some sort of a flock of bird , but instead of moving together, they were driving erratically through the air but managed to not collide into each other as though the were if one mind.

It was the Guidian Program installed within the Leviteons that select possible routes for them without having the Leviteon cars collide with each other.

The evening sun was getting weaker and David felt the weakness in his body slowly leaving him, but his thirst for blood intesifies during this moment. David always found it weird and had a feeling he might actually be the Rank 3 Blood-sucking Bat monster that has managed to turn into a human by luck.

Which was the only thing he could use to explain his need for human blood.

Examining the inverted bridge and the high rising buildings that seem to reach the clouds, David felt like an ant amongst giants.

Sighing, he looked around and then noticed his road was being blocked by three people. David laughed coldly within his mind. ‘You are finally willing to reveal yourselves after stalking me for three weeks.’𝔬𝑣𝑳𝐞xt.𝔠𝑜𝗆

David raised an eyebrow as though asking ‘Is there a reason you’re blocking my way?’

The three people formed some sort of triangle, two men behind the woman who appears to be their leader.

The lady indifferently glanced at David, not bothering to answer David. Instead, she glanced at him from his head to his toe. Her eyes forming two mechanical circles, releasing a massive invincible undulation that penetrated David’s body as though wanting to see through his secret.

“Hmph!” David instantly snorted coldly, his body trembled in various frequency and the undulation was instantly broken.

He bared his teeth in anger as though asking ‘What the hell are you doing?’

The lady’s expression changed and she was surprised. Even with his weak body, he was still able to shrug off her Reconnaissance-eyes and while her technique wasn’t as good as her dead junior brother’s, a barely made Star rank was able to destroy her survey, which made her really surprised as the distance between Meteor rank and star rank was an entire grade. David shouldn’t have been able to resist in the slightest.

This instantly made Rachelle suspicious of the boy before him. Could he have been the one?

She squinted her eyes and suddenly, an intense wave of pressure exploded from her holding David in place.

David felt as though his entire body had been glued to the ground. He couldn’t move a single muscle and even his blood circulation appeared quite stiff. Fiercely glaring at the devellish looking woman before him, David gritted his teeth and tried to move. All of his muscles bulged obscenely, but he was only able to form a fist but could do nothing else.

His red eyes shone with an intense glow and the blood in his body struggled against the pressure.

The woman lazily stretched her body and smiled at David before suddenly saying. “Did you Kill my brother?… Vather”
