Multi-Gene

Chapter 243 - Show Of Strength.

Nick stared at his hands with slight disbelief. He had used about 50% of his whole strength and speed to make that grab but his hands had been slapped off. 

As a Phaser, his cells were all very active, vibrating with gene force and energy. His grab should have been faster for even a Phaser to track with its eyes not to mention slapping it away. 

He suspiciously stared at David before eventually placing it as luck.

"What do you think you are doing?" David asked with a frown and he continued.

"Are you trying to attack me in the cafeteria?" he raised his voice as he said this, attracting even more attention. 

Nick's expression darkened as he could see the crowed muttering to themselves but he immediately laughed as he replied. 

"Why would I attempt to attack you. This is conversation as friends."

This made David raised his eyesbrows. Nick seem to have gotten much smarter than the previous time. 

Using his full strength this time, he lifted his right hand and grabbed at David's shoulders viciously. His hand's moving speed was twice as fast as it was before.

It flashed with unpredictable movement as it appeared on David's shoulder. Just that, before the could touch the shoulder, it was caught effortlessly by David without breaking a sweat

David's eyes flashed with a cold look. He was intending to give this kid a lesson since he didn't want to learn. 

With a forceful clamp from his five fingers, terrifying physical strength erupted from his body to his fingers. 

At first, Nick remained indifferent but soon Nick's face began to rapidly flush red.

Davuds hands was like a vice grip as he clamped hard on Nick's hands. It wasn't merely filled physical strength but also a very intense heat that transferred from his hands to his body, making his face incredibly red. 

Nick immediately activated his own strength, his cells, blood and muscles became hyperactive as they increased his physical power, containing a destructive genetic force. 

"Clang!"

As their forces clashed the ground beneath their feet gave off a creaking sound, as though groaning the power of their clash. 

"Creak! Creak!"

Nick though he could hear his bones cry out loud. His opponent's strength was simply too ridiculous to handle. Even his opponent's force wasn't the least bit inferior to his strength right now as a Phaser, and was even complimente with that intense heat. 

Suddenly, the force in his body exploded as he finally managed to grab his hand back. 

Clenching his teeth angrily, he sneered. "Good! Good! I will not force you today. But rest assured, you will surely regret this."

With that sentence, he glared intently at David and finally took his leave. 

Dusting his hands, David was about to leave when Nihyuh walked from with the crowd. 

"You certainly are quite the trouble maker." he flipped back the table into position and sat down with his tray in his hands. 

"I can't just help it, they seem to fancy me alot." David shrugged as he also took his seat in disappointment. His meal had been interrupted and he wasn't in a very good mood.

"Do you think it's okay to solve the problem that's way?" Nihyuh asked. He was initially a bit shocked that David had grown to this degree since he could even fend off the strength of a Phaser as a Spryher. But now he was a bit concerned

"He came asking for a beating and with my kind-hearted nature, how could I refuse?"

 "This isn't the perfect timing to make enemies, David." Nihyuh said with a furrows brow as he placed his cutleries back on the tray.

"Amd why is that?" David was nonchalant as he asked back. Since he wasn't the one at fault, he had nothing to worry about. 

"Didn't you here about thr rumours?" Nihyuh suddenly asked. 

"What rumours?" David's intreast was peaked. 

"I guess you didn't know about it then. It's said that's the institute is forcing is to complete at least three missions every month or there might be some repercussions." Nihyuh explained. 

"When did this happen?" David askes with furrowed eyebrows. 

"It's been circulating amongst us new students since last week. Others are already heading to the mission Hall to grab the easier missions before they are taken by the others." Nihyuh grabbed his fork and stabbed at a piece of stake and replied before placing it in his mouth. 

"The rewards are quite satisfactory too." he added as he chewed on the piece of meat. 

David thought for a moment and then asked. "When do you intend to head over to the Misson Hall?"

"As soon as I'm done with this meal. The meat is absolutely delicious." Nihyuh taunted at David as he licked licked his lips and grabbed another piece before placing it in his mouth. 

"Wanna check it together?" Nihyuh asked. 

David rolled his eyes. "Do you intend for me to quietly sit still and watch you eat while mine is lying on the ground, and also wait for you to finish your meal? Not going to happen. I will head there on my own." David snorted and with that, he stood up and waved at Nihyuh then he took his leave.

Behind him, Nihyuh laughed loudly at him. " Haha. You are just jealous."

* * * * * * 

David stood in front of a massive building that had the holo symbol Mission Hall largely written on the top of the building. 

He had seen this building once from afar but he had never put it to mind. Didn't think he would enter it this quickly. 

The crowds was bustling at the he front of the building. Students walking in and out of the Mission Hall. 

David tensed up as he saw several teams of people walk past him as they laughed amongst themselves. 

They were certainly not new students. They should be in the third year or even fourth year. One could only imagine their strength as they had spent three to give years in the institute. 

The difference in strength would certainly be massive and David didn't for once think he was already strong enough to fight a senior student. 

"Strong." David mutters as he gazed at the students entering and exiting the building.. At this moment he felt a feeling akin to that of an ant.
