Shameless David

But what David was unaware of was that the moment he said the word ' oldman ' the group of interns momentarily drew in a muffled gasp of cold air. Muffled because they had quickly suppressed their mouths with their hands.

They glanced at each other, while trying to hide their astonishment. It was a well known fact in the institute that the professor dislike people calling him an old man.

The old man's eyebrows furrowed when he heard the words too. He gazed at the now smiling david who was currently about to leave though the entrance.

It appeared as if he really didn't like being called an old man. And by a junior at that. It wasn't that he doesn't like called an old man, in fact, it had nothing to do with it. The problem was that, he really wasn't an old man.

Extreme power comes together with an extreme price. After passing through the stage of 'Spryh' the higher one's amount of blood revolutions are, the more possibilities one has in Incorporating with a powerful gene. Although, it also has something to do with how long one could persist in the Adrenaline state, but that isn't the main ground for advancement.

The white haired man was a four star talented individual back when he was still a student of the institute. He had advance from the 'Spryh' state at the 299th blood revolutions. He was undefeated by his peers and was also the most talented students among his peers. His confidence came from the fact that he could remain in the state of Adrenaline twice the amount of his peers

Because of his confidence, he had chosen to develop and incorporate with a powerful gene that had the requirements of a 300th blood revolution Spryher.

Because if his decision, he had been admonished and counseled by the head of the institutes And also the instructors tried desuading him, because the consequences of merging with a powerful gene when ones body is clearly not prepared for it nor strong enough to control it, one might just lose control. He was aware of this fact, but he remained firm in his decision.

According to his calculations back then, he had a 10 percent chances of dying, 30 percent chances of transforming into a mutant, and a 60 percent chance of survival.

In the end, he successfully developed and also successfully merged with the gene but not without an extreme side effect.

Although he merged with the gene successfully, it still took a toll on his body, with a considerable side effect hence his white hair and eyebrow.

He almost failed though at the critical moment as the duration of his Adrenaline was a second and a half late than his calculations due to him merging with the gene.

The powerful gene sucked a bit of his life energy as fuel since his body had no energy to provide. Making his face look slightly wrinkled and rough. So at first glance, he appeared to be an old man.

Although he was like an old man, he was one of the strongest professors of the institute. One could infer from that fact that it was worth it to gain the power he currently had. If he was asked to make the decision again, he would still choose to merge with the Gene.

But if one looked closely, one would see his true appearance clearly. It was just that his face was a bit rough.

The professor's flash back was interrupted when one of the interns by his side quickly spoke out before david had the opportunity to step out..

"Wait, You haven't paid for occupying an Energy Tank yet!"

Upon hearing this, David's smiling expression dropped slightly. He tilted his head to the side slightly.

"Are you referring to me?" David asked while pointing at himself.

The intern who spoke up was a young man who looked to be 19 years of age. He had a light brown hair with a buzz cut as his hairstyle. A very handsome face with a slightly wide smile on it. But instead of making David comfortable, the smile hid a malicious intent which david had sensed since the moment the voice sounded out.

David's body currently appeared to be relaxed, while his muscles hardened, akin to that of a tempered steel.

But before his body could complete the transformation, he quicky put a stop to it, because at this moment, he was completely filled with absolute confidence. He believed that with his current strength, he could handle any of his peers at the moment.

If it was before, he wouldn't be able to stop his natural instincts towards a strong being because he had tried previously but it was to no avail.

But now, he had grown slight stronger and it appears his contract over his body appears to be more refined.

The young man smile dropped as his face hardened when he heard David's reply. He stride towards David with slow but heavy steps. "Yes, I was referring to you." he said, while stopping a meter away from him, glaring at David, face to face.

"Oh, is that so? But how can I pay for something i know nothing about?"

"I don't know what energy tank you are talking about. And I sure as hell do not remember coming into this place."

"So, who so ever has brought me here is the one to pay." David retorted with a wide smile and an innocent face before taking his leave. He was happy about his rapid increase in strength already, so he wasn't about to let a random nobody ruin his good mood.

The blond boy was stunned slightly as he had never heard anyone speak such shameless words with an air of righteousness.

You clearly gained a lot from the energy tank judging by your laugh of happiness but, you are refusing to pay. As he thought of this, his face twisted in anger and as the blond boy was to speak out, he sensed the old man gazing at him with the corner of his eyes, so he quickly kept his mouth shut, went back to standing respectfully by the professor's side but not without shooting a glare at the shameless David.

Laughing softly, David turned around to leave through the exit for the second time before he was stopped again to pay for the whatever tank.

But, reality was cruel as a slightly raspy voice rang out of the hall.
