Chapter 278 - Meeting Familiar Faces

The institute was particularly lively today. The new students were preparing for their examinations.

Since the new students were about eight hundred, they had been divided into eight classes. And each classes having aboht a hundred students.

The time of their examination had come, each classes had been provided with one mission which can be executed with the maximum number of 15 people at once.

The mission can only be executed a single time and once a squad fails the mission, it cannot be repeated. Which will count as also failing the mission. They students would be graded according to the efforts they put in through the system installed in their imprint.

David had just exited Mr White's place and was heading towards the dorm. His mind was preoccupied and he couldn't wait to check out the Exercise Manual he had gotten from the senior professor.

He had seen the reluctance on Mr White's face and he didn't need to ask to know the Manual was a crazy expensive one. Moreover, reaching the final stages of the technique would grant one about 10%-20% the power of the original Silver Body.

Now, if their was the Silver Body Tempering Exercise, there would certainly be the Iron Body Tempering Exercise and possibly the Diamond Body Tempering Exercise.

He couldn't wait to check it out. There was a possibility he could increase his Silver body with this Manual which was why David was excited to try.

"Hey! Is that you David?" David was a bit startled and then turned to face the direction where the voice coming from.

There, a group of 13 people were opposite him. He immediately recognised five of them and he couldn't help smile softly as he called out their names.

"Clover, Fergus, Dagrin, Olamide and... April." (Chapter 150 – The dating siblings)

"Haha! It really is you." Clover laughed loudly and walked forwards, giving David a big hug.

David didn't mind it though, Clover was the ever cheerful guy amongst the five. He hadn't expected he would meet them

"Where have you been? We have looked every where for you, but couldn't find you. You don't live at the dorm right?" before the others could say anything, Clover bombarded him with questions.

"That's okay Clover." Before he could ask anymore questions, Fergus chuckled, dragging the reluctant Clover backwards.

"Long time no see." Fergus grinned as they shook hands.

"Yea, I've been a bit busy these day which was why I couldn't find you."

"Yea we noticed. We wanted to congratulate you on getting first place during the event but we just couldn't find you no matter how hard we looked." Fergus shrugged as he said.

"Oh, thanks. "David laughed slightly and apologised. Then he looked towards April.

And there she was, glaring at him. "I see she still doesn't like me." He said towards Fergus with a raised eyebrows.

"Nah, it's not you. She just doesn't like to interact much with people."

David laughed it off and nodded at the other two people he was familiar with. Olamide and Dagrin and they also nodded at him in response.

David was about to ask the reason they were there when a gruff voice interrupted them.

"Fergus, who is this?" It was then David turned his gaze towards the strangers behind Fergus.

The person who had spoken was a tall young man with an exceptionally handsome feature. His hair was red and so was his eyes, making him strikingly obvious amongst crowds of people.

His expression was one of vivid arrogance and he gazed at David as though he was beneath him.

Apart from the young man, there were eight other people standing behind him.

"I had almost forgotten. Silverton, this is my good friend David I met during the event. And David, this is Silverton the leader of our team." Fergus introduced them.

"Oh." Silverton nodded his head at David but after a while he seemed disinterested as he removed his gaze and turned to walk away.

David responded by also nodding his head out of courtesy.

Seeing this, Fergus quickly added. "He was also the one who got first place during the event."

This instantly got Silverton's attention and he gazed at David with renewed interest.

"Is that so?" Fergus gazed intently at David as his eyes scanned through David from head to toe.

David stared expressionlessly but didn't mind the stare.

"Since you got first place during the event, you are barely qualified to be in my team for the exams." As he said this, he reached behind him and took his backpack, dropping it by David's feet.

David was taken aback and his expression darkened as he gazed at Silverton's asked. "What do you mean by this."

Before anyone could speak, the seven strangers in the team walked forwards and they stood before David, glaring at David with vicious smiles on their faces.

"Are you dumb or just plain stupid." The rest instantly burst into laughter.

"You should be honoured you are a part of our team. Although as a servant, you will still get a sizable amount of points to pass the exams." Another piped in.

"Or do you think taking first place during the event count as something?" another snorted in disdain.

"If you know what's good for you, you will quickly pick up that backpack and give the rewards you received from the event to Silverton as an apology." The third person said to David as though he had good intentions.

David's eyes instantly flashed Gold-red as anger surged within him. Murderous waves erupted from him, distorting the air but before it could get our of hands, David contained himself as he took in a deep breath.

He had almost forgotten that there are rules that prevented fighting and killing in the institute since he had spent the last three months outside of it.

His three months of slaughtering people wasn't for nothing. The murderous waves he had amassed was already at a terrifying level.

The instant the waves touched the seven people, they felt as though they were swimming in a massive pool of deep-red blood with skeletal hands dragging them deeper into it.
