The institute

Mu Chen smiled slyly when he saw the girl called Celine happily jumping up in joy.

50 Gyno points was nothing to him anyways, so giving it off was noting to him. But, it's half of what would be given to the students by the institute.

If her talent isn't good enough and her myalgia lasts for more than two days, the Gyno points would be sent back to him with immediate effect after two days, making her unable to retrieve it any longer. He was just practically getting her hopes up for nothing. If she wasn't a talent.

Mu Chen was smiling slyly as he thought through his sinister plan in his head.

Recollecting he still had some things to say to the students. Mu Chen continued.

"This week could be considered the most dangerous for you all. No, I take that back. It would be an extremely dangerous week for some of you just like I was about to say before I was interrupted, do be careful throughout this week.

The pain from a simple paper cut might not be any different to being hacked by a machete."

Mu Chen gazed at the students, wondering if they would repeat their mistake one more time but they were quite sensible this time.

Shaking his head.

"I'd advice you all out of consideration for you guys, Stay indoors till your myalgia heals and also watch your steps and be careful of who you offend throughout this week as it might prove detrimental.

The only positive side to this situation, is the pleasure..."

Mu chen's eye lit up, the corner of his mouth lifted up into a sly smirk as he appeared to be thinking of something, making the crowd quite stunned. Almost 100 times the pleasure. One would simply faint from a simple pre-ejaculation.

"He he."

A light laugh escaped his lips.

"That's all for now.

Exit the building then follow the magnetic pull from your tags located on your left wrist. It will lead you towards your respective rooms... As for now, you're all dismissed."

Murmurs broke out amidst the group of teens. People saying things in low voices like what does he mean by pleasure though, finally, thank Goodness, wasted our time for something so trivial etc. Though, Not daring to say it out loud.

David was frozen in place, an obvious frown visible on his face. It was deeply immersed in thought.

Things Mu Chen talked about like xenogeneic transplantation, talent phases, myalgia genome, etc left him in a bit of panic. It was the fear of the unknown. But his expression which was that of shock soon steadily change into that of excitement.

'Seems like this world isn't as simple as I thought it would be... interesting. 'David thought in his heart. Smiling to himself.

Once he thought about the amount of action he would experience in this world , his smile widened. And his heart pumped loudly in fear and excitement.

Thinking about evolving and getting stronger wasn't a foreign concept to him, but he had only experienced those in games and not in real life.

Thinking about the low probable rate of survival, his smile turned into something else entirely. It was fear, panic and excitement.

He was deeply immersed in his thoughts that he didn't notice someone had stood in front of him, trying to get his attention.

" I've been trying to get the attention of this guy since a long time ago, but he wasn't actually ignoring me, the dude is just really crazy. Sigh, what a pity." the guy named Nihyuh said to himself.

Before David had the chance to sink further into his thoughts, he heard a voice interrupt him.

"We need to get out of here, or we would be the only ones left in here." Nihyuh said as he snapped his fingers at David.

David gazed at him with a perplexed expression and then realized it was actually true when he gazed around him.

"Thanks." With that, David turned and also left for the exit.

Behind him, Nihyuh glanced at him with an inexplicable expression.

"My intuition might be wrong. But if what father and grandfather said was right, i have no choice then."

The words he spoke was a bit weird, but what was more chilling was his facial muscles that kept twitching rapidly as if trying to suppress his original emotion.

After a while of pondering and surpressing, Nihyuh noticed that David had left a while and had exited the building

"Hey, wait for me!."

He hurried towards the exit of the building with David using the stairways.

...

"So, what's your name?"

Nihyuh asked.

"David."

Hearing David's reply, Nihyuh immediately got fired up

"Oh David, good name, good name. You know, my parents wanted to name me Neil but then, my grandmother didn't quite agree with that, likewise my grandfather. Although my grandfather is a bit old, he still thinks he is quite young. The things dementia could do. There was one time he..."

David immediately stopped paying any attention towards Nihyuh.

Immediately Dav and Nihyuh came out the building's exit,

He was overwhelmed by what he saw.

Gigantic buildings of different styles and architectures filled his vision.

Observing his surroundings, he noticed the street was a bit filled with crowds, people moving in and out of different buildings and that was the ground, the sky was an entirely different matter.

Looking up at the sky, vehicles of different shapes, sizes and forms littered the sky. Zooming past each other in a speedy manner. They flew through the sky like they owned it.

The one thing those vehicles have in common is the turbo engine like thingy connected to both sides of the cars, some cars connected four thrusters to theirs while a few other has only two connected that could be seen from the outside. Empowering the cars to move through the air like a soaring eagle at every angle possible, making maneuver seemingly impossible for them to perform.

The holographic image at the top of every building amazed David the most.

'Tsk tsk tsk... holographic images? What next, laser guns? This world is beginning to. Interest me more.' he thought

Originally, the fact that he had reincarnated had taken a toll on his mind, making him a bit sick as though he was homesick or something. But now that he was getting to know the world he was in, the illness was clearing away like a fog in his mind.

In a good mood, David began weaving through the crowds of people with Nihyuh in tow, following the directions the gravitational pull was taking them to

The thing called tag is a small dot on his left wrist. It is a super microchip inserted into his forearm by the institute during the xenotransplantation for security purposes.

It also serves as an identity tag for students of the Institute's and in the outer worlds. Further more, it gives informations, serve as a kind of map for the students, helping device, etc. Performing various functions.

David glance casually at Nihyuh who was still busy running his mouth off.

Raising his eyebrows upwards, 'This guy doesn't get tired of talking does he'.

Interrupting him.

"What do you know about the institute?"

David asked him in a casual tone.. He didn't feel anything wrong with asking as he needed to familiarise himself with this world as much as possible.

"...ther sang me lullaby to sleep sometimes cause... um, what did you just say?"

Nihyuh's eyes opened widely as he blinked his eyes rapidly.

"I said, tell me what you know about the institute Mu Chen keeps talking about during his speech."

David repeated himself with hesitantion when he noticed the changes in Nihyuh's expression.

"Wh-what?"

Nihyuh's mouth went agape.

He was not to be blamed.

How could one be ignorant about the institute?

Before going through the process of xenogeneic transplantation.

One would be informed of the dangers concerning the process of the xenogeneic transplantation and things to take note or be careful about.

Although, they weren't forced by the government to undergo the process.

They were given two options.

First - Follow through with the process and become a student of the institute gaining both knowledge and power.

Lastly - Become a worker of the institute since the institute is in a dire need of workers for odd jobs for a period of time until you retire.

The choices made by the reckless teenagers who were filled with passion and ambition about becoming a powerful figure were very obvious as majority choose the first choice.

Noticing that Nihyuh was truly starting to get suspicious, David hurriedly made out an excuse.

"You see, during the process, my brain somehow got affected. I somehow couldn't remember somethings."

"Oh yea, temporary amnesia. I heard it's a side effect that rarely occurs after the process." Nihwsiad after some thoughts.

"Um, The institute was built by the government with the assistance of the Generic Association to nurture young people like us. Transforming our lives into becoming more powerful."

David listened attentively to Nihyuh's words.

"The xenogeneic transplantation we underwent was just the first stage to getting stronger. It prepares our body for the second stage, which involves the engineering of stably fusing other foreign genes into our body.

Sounds cool right?"

Nihyuh asked while grinning.

David nodded in agreement, while still try to locate his living space but since extracting information about the institute is his top priority, he took it slow.

"After which, they only let us undergo the second stage once the myalgia in our body disappears and we trained our bodies to accept the genes. Once this process is done, , the institution allows us to select a genetic modification serum which gives us different types of ability. Well, I'm not well informed about the process though but it sounds really really cool. Oh and the training is only for a year before being sent to defend the borders."

Nihyuh spoke enthusiastically, looking forward to selecting his very own Genetic modification serum.

David frantically absorb the knowledge spewing out from Nihyuh's mouth.

He analysed the words from Nihyuh. Breaking them down into simple phrases.

And the gears in his brain was rapid turning. One could guess he was thinking really hard at tge moment.

"Um, David?" Nihyuh called him softly.

But David wasn't really listening, he was still frantically trying to calculate somethings.

"David!" He called out to him urgently as his gaze shifted between the pole protruding horizontally out from the building which is almost two metres high in length and David is currently walking into it. Most importantly, his head is certainly ramming into the pole if he continued in his current path.

Shifting his gaze from the pole to David who is still daydreaming. He called out to him more loudly

"Hey, David!" He yelled his name again but to no avail

Their sensitivity had been enhanced by at least 50 times during this period of time, what would happen if one were to hit his head against a hard object during this moment.

Nihyuh's eyes glinted in expectation, very different from his worried look.
