Multi-Gene

Chapter 346 - Captured?

A man in a black cloak, wearing a ferocious and savage cat mask on his face, emitting a fierce wave from its face walked out from withing the crowd.

The large bonfire burned wildly, illuminating the rest of the people in mask and the environment like a small sun.

The fire flickered and the wood crackled as it fueled the fire, making it burn even hotter and brighter.

The person with the feral mask stopped not too far away from the blazing fire as though unaffected by the heat it was emitting.

"Brothers and sisters, we are all finally here together again, let the gathering officially begin." The voice of an old man sounded out from his mouth, completely different from what David had heard from him the previous times.

David's eyes squinted and he could tell that the leader was using an advanced Voice Contraption. A basic voice contraption could only make one's voice sound mechanical. While mid grade one's have a fixed human voice.

But the Advanced voice contraptions isn't as limited as that as one could fine tune how one's voice could sound. And although it wasn't really expensive, it was still worth a lot of money and a bit rare to acquire. 

"We welcome our new members back from their missions. And in case you had some problems during the advancement mission, you can wait behind after the meeting to fix that problem."

David's eyes narrowed upon hearing those bold words. Even Mr White would have gone through so much in order for him to receive another advancement mission and this person claim he can fix the problems of those who had problems passing the exams. 

Doesn't that mean he could basically assign other advancement mission to those who had failed? Which also means that the person had authority that either rivals or surpasses Mr White. 

This made David frown and he felt slightly uncomfortable with this new found theory of his. 

One of his main confidence in joining this Black Society was Mr White and now he figured this person had enough authority that almost rival that of Mr White, he knew one of his trump card had suddenly destabilised. 

Which means he only had his own strength and backing to rely on if anything ever goes wrong. 

With his insane perception, he could notice several people heaving as sigh of relief. Although they tried to hide it, David could sense it and he certainly wasn't the only one with sharp sense in the crowd. 

"That's that for now. Now, to the main topic of the matter, we are going to war."

"!!!" David eyes blinked rapidly as though he could hardly believe what he was hearing. 

They were going to war? What the hell is going on?

The other around him also whispered amongst themselves as the words of the leader dawned on them. 

There was roughly 200 plus people within the large clearing, although they were murmuring softly, their voices added together was quite loud. 

There was a sudden snap of the fingers and the murmurs within the place quietened down in an instant as though it hadn't even began in the first place. 

This action elicited a look of surprise from David. It was obvious the people here respect the leader a lot and didn't dare to be disobedient. 

"I know why most of you are worried and I assure you that that the war isn't with other Dark Society of our Institution. Instead, it is with the Dark Society of other schools." As the aged voice came out from the leader's mouth, several people were quite relieved to hear this.

Although fighting was a normal occurrence within the institute, of one spent enough time within the institute, they would soon find out that although fighting hones one's battle prowess to some degree, it was a quite the waste of time as one could be doing other things to grow stronger.

Instead of fighting with your mates and hindering your vision to the many ways to grow powerful within the institute, you could engage in an activity or job that is productive to your growth.

The most popular job amongst the students was accepting and going out for missions, while the talented ones strive to become a Genetist. 

There are also other activities that could make Gyno points which could then be used to exchange for resources within the institute. 

Which is why it was really rare to witness fights between two second year students or above. 

It was because they knew they had other things to do instead of eating their precious time to fight against each other. 

"This information has just been made known to me and a selected few numbers of people. There would be an exchange of students with the Mavedern Academy in at most three months time."

"There would be a completion amongst the first year students till the fifth year students. A selected few would be chosen amongst the winners of the competition and then they will be sent to the Mavedern Academy for studies."

"Likewise, their students would also be sent over to our place for studies. Although the competition is only three months away, I'm informing you guys so you prepare early. And those of you who are here will surely be selected amongst them."

"Once you get to Mavedern Academy, it's going to be war over at there and I'm just informing you in advance so as to prepare yourselves."

The leader finally paused to catch his breath. He then turned to gaze at the people around him as he stated. "That's enough of that. Now, just a reminder to those who haven't had the time to complete a mission, you are to complete one since you are back. Or, you could just wait and suffer the consequences instead. " 

The leader shrugged as he said that but the ice in his tone made everyone realise just how serious he was. 

"Alright, for the next matter on ground, we-" Suddenly, the leader froze and then he suddenly snapper his heads sideways to a particular position as an explosive but chilling wave of power started to rise from within his body. 

The two hundred plus people were taken aback and David was amongst them. He also snapped his head to the side to figure out what could elicit such a reaction from the leader. 

There was a man standing casually at one of the entrances to the huge underground place. He had a purplish colour hair and his eyes glowed a purplish hue. 

He had his hands in his pockets, wearing a smirk on his face as he gazed at the leader casually. 

"We meet again, pussy." The scorn was so obvious in his tone that it seem to have taken physical shape. 

The leader who had a feral cat mask on his face snorted as he stared at the new comer seriously. He said only one word but it rumbled like a thunder within the members mind in the underground hall.

"Flence."

David's expression changed slightly and his heart pounded ferociously upon hearing the word that escaped the mouth of the leader. 

"Boom!!!"

Numerous explosions resounded as the 200 plus masked figures fled out in all directions without delay. 

David wasn't slow to realize the situation but he wasn't the fastest either. "Run!"

Zara, no, Red-eyed Lion. Shouted at David before she fled towards a random direction. 

David's eyes widened. Sure enough, he was right. They were in a huge trouble as their hiding place had been found and if they were caught, David didn't know what the punishment was but he didn't want to find out either. 

The ground underneath David cracked into multiple spiderweb like shape as he vanished and turned into a streak of shadow, heading towards the entrance he had came in from. 

"I have this place surrounded, don't try to resist." Flence said with a small laugh and his figure faded like smoke. He had been an after image long ago!

"Boom!!!"

Shockwaves exploded off as Flence and the Leader had started their battle. 

David didn't spare any glance at their battle and instead continued to run towards the exit.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed as three figures stood vigilantly at the exit.

They were radiating massive amount of power that seem to be able to deter anyone that came into contact with it.

Their strength had surpass the triple-gene Phasers and together, they could even rival that of a Quad-gene Phaser.

David's pace slowed down upon seeing the line up. Three triple-gene Phaser guarding one exit, his luck was truly bad.

It was impossible for those people to find out all the exit in the underground space which meant that most of the exit wasn't being guarded by any one but David had been unlucky and the place he chosen to escape from turned out to be guarded by three triple-gene Phaser.

Even those second year/third year students in here would find it hard to escape this sort of lineup.

David's eyes strangely hardened and a smile crossed his face and he instantly picked up his pace.. It was as though he had gotten insane from fear.
