Multi-Gene

Chapter 385 - Aella's Care I



The ruckus died down a few moments later and then the competition resumed towards its normal flow thanks to the coordination of the professors.

Although most students were still in shock about the whole situation, they could only hold it inside as they continued to fight for who was to be the strongest of Year one.

Some had already decided it was David but it was a pity he was already grievously injured which meant that he wouldn't be available for the next round of the competition, depriving him from fighting.

Come to think of it, this might actually have been planned by that instructor who had suddenly gone crazy at the defeat of her best student. Some shook their heads in pity.

"What a pity, he wouldn't be able to fight today anymore."

"With such grievous injury, it would take time of heal. At most, a few days."

"If he was given a high-grade insta-heal serum, he might actually make it no matter how injured he is."

"But then, who would waste such precious serum on a triple gene Phaser?" Another immediately refuted his words.

The competition went on to its final stages as the professors discussed amongst each other.

David's layed silently at the sick bay his whole body covered with his own blood, regulating his breathing and body movements as though meditating. While in fact he was busy manipulating his muscles and tissues, slowing down the rate at which they were healing by more than ten times.

It was the first time had thought about doing such a thing which was why it was a bit difficult to achieve as he didn't know what angle he should utilise.

At first, after his ruptured muscles and veins healed instant, he panicked since the doctors and nursed were about to take a partial scan of his body to know actual condition he was on before the proper treatment started.

Panicked David immediately ruptured his already healed wounds a few seconds to the scan. Since it want a full body scan, the medical didn't require his permission before going ahead with it.

In the end, he realized he only needed to slow down the regeneration of his cell tissues, thereby allowing his injury to slowly heal up.

Abruptly, David sharply opened up his eyes from his lotus position and his gaze revealed a dangerous look as he glared at a particular point not too far from the entrance of his ward.

There was nothing in particular in that spot except for the plain white wall and the neatly tiled ground and apart form that, there was nothing else in sight, is it was weird for David to unexpected show such hostility at the plain wall as though he had gone insane.

The room remained deadly silent and even the atmosphere looked as though it had been frozen under David's deadly stare but even then, his gaze refused to falter as he stated at the wall as though facing a great enemy.

A minute passed, three minutes, five minutes. It was only after an hour something changed in his ward. The white wall that was supposedly there and solid twisted and turned like space itself was being rendered apart.

And then rippled began to spread as distortions spread out through the wall like water. In the next moment, a human gaped figure walked out with the sound of heels clicking against the board.

David's eyes constricted as he saw who the person was but then, he blinked his eyes as he nervously laughed. "Instructor, I didn't know you were here."

Instructor Aella didn't say a word and just walked until she was right by David's bedside her eyes gazing into David's own as though she desperately wanted to see through all of his secrets.

"You knew I was here. Even a Full Genetic Phaser wouldn't notice there was anything wrong with my illusion until after 30 seconds but you, you noticed right away." She said as though stating facts and not even asking lensing forwards, with her face a few centimeters from David making David lean backwards until his back hit the wall, there was no space anymore.

She then proceed to ask. "How did you do it?"

David blinked his eyes and laughed it off. "Instructor, you must be joking. It was really easy to notice anyone coming in. The normal airflow in the ward was disturbed which was how I noticed that something was wrong."

Aella squinted her eyes as she scrutinised David with her charming eyes. There was no false in what David had said but still, even though the normal airflow in the ward changed when she entered, David wasn't supposed to be powerful enough to spot the difference and let's say he has integrated with an ability that allowed him to notice the difference in airflow, he shouldn't have being able to know he exact spot at which she was standing. 

Which could only mean one thing, he was able to see her but want able to detect her identity. Although she thought this, she didn't say it out loud.

It was already an invasion of privacy for her to ask about his ability. Clearing her throat, she leaned back slight and then produced took something from her pocket.

David breathed out slight in relief when he saw her retreat backwards, seems she bought his lies.

"Take this." In her hands was a glass vial with a serum in it. Confused, David hesitated, wondering what the hell this woman was up to again.

But then he caught her eye which was starting to frown upon his hesitation. Having no choice he took the serum from her.

"What's this?" he stated in a confused tone, obviously not knowing what the serum was since there wasn't a label on it. 

"No need to know what it is. All you need to know is that, it will immediately heal your injuries in a few minutes and you can be active again after a while. Aright, enough talk, drink up." Instructor Aella said, starting to get impatient.
