Multi-Gene

Chapter 415 - Megathon Blade



"For someone, a complete stranger that's not even a true student of this academy to forcefully whisk away the legendary Megaton Blade, this is completely unacceptable!" The middle-aged man seated at the edge of the half-rounded table slammed his hand on the wood with an angry expression on his face.

"There are times when u rarely agree with Li Feng but Dean, Li Feng is absolutely right. The kid is not a true student of this academy and just an exchange student from that institute. Therefore, retrieving the blade from him should be of utmost priority and if the situation." Seating opposite Elder Li Feng is Elder Shi Li.

"My my, why do you guys want to deprive a kid of his luck? The blade has been sitting in that particular hall for hundreds of years without acknowledging a master since non of you are worthy enough for it. I say its high time someone took it anyways." Fifth Elder, Elder Du Yan mocked as she gave her opinion on the matter. 

"Although the blade as being without master, we are not that desperate to give it away to some random person." The Second elder piped in. 

"Hmm, what are your thoughts on this matter first elder Yan." A soft crystalline voice spoke, coming from the very center of the arc table. 

It was the Dean. A top a lotus-shape chair, the woman wore a light-colored silk dress, with eyebrows shaped like jade feather ans skin as fresh and white as snow. Her waist was so thin one could hold them with just one arm. And a white veil covered her face, only revealing her clear eyes which seemed to flow like water as the world seemed to lose its brilliance in her presence. 

A woman like this with such aura and grace was rarely seen in this world. Even after a few years, the elders had barely gotten used to her. 

"Retrieving the blade should be the most suitable option as it might be used against our academy but then, according to the academy rules, a student is allowed to take a single weapon from within the treasury instantly making it their property, so if we collect the blade from the kid, it's no different than stealing." The first elder said with a thoughtful expression.

The other elder kept quiet upon hearing his words. It was correct they gave the student the blade but retrieving the blade back will just tarnish their image and if other academies or institute especially that institute were to catch wind of this, things won't be so easy anymore.

"Which is why after careful consideration thought about this matter, this plan formed up and should be perfect. If the situation is handled carefully, this matter shouldn't blow off to the extent that the people from that institute should be made aware of and retaliate." The elder continued. 

"If an elder or one of the teachers was sent to retrieve it, then that might just allow things to worsen but if it's a fellow student, then it would be much easier and the situation would die down quite quickly. First elder is wise." Some other elder added while he praised. 

"But I don't see the need to be afraid of that institute. They are just a bunch of crazy muddled-headed people that implant their bodies with genes of animals and beast. While we train our brains, making our thinking process thousands of time faster. how can they ever hope to pass through nirvana and reach the immortality? If there was an all-out war between our schools, we would certainly stand on top." Another elder inputted with disgust written all over his face. 

To the academy, installing the genes of ancient beasts in your body is a completely barbaric and desperate method of evolution. To the academy, evolving first had to do with the mindset and then, meditation. 

Plus, they believe the body had to be kept clean and not tainted by any other type of gene as that might hunger their thinking, thereby hindering their will to grow stronger. 

"Fifth elder Cheng Chan, you shouldn't be so naive in your thoughts. If the institute is weak, why would the Dean even bother making this exchange with them?"The first elder reprimanded. 

The elders present all nodded turning their necks to the enchanting beauty seated before them seeking for her opinion on the matter. Most have also tried to ask the reason for the Dean to choose to accept this exchange since she refused to tell them when they asked directly. 

The Dean remained silent before she replied. "While keeping the mind and body pure is gem, it can also be called ignorance. We will do as the first elder suggested, now let's move on to the next topic. The hunt which is coming up next week, how are the student preparing for it."

Three days later, David stayed in his new place. He sighed in relief when no one came barging into his room for the blade he took. 

He knew how important the blade was and the fact that only the Dean and an unknown elder possessed a weapon that powerful, states just how important and powerful the weapon actually is. 

David had been on edge for the last three days which was why he stayed indoors, trying his best to forcefully infuse his mental energy into the blade but his effort seem to be futile. 

Currently, he had his eyes closed and he was currently in his fifth star form. His muscles and body were all puffed up and he looked as though he had been body building from the womb. 

The large rusty blade was sitting on his crossed-legged lap, barely able to fit inside his room. 

But he hadn't just been wasting his time with the Megathon Blade, he had also been meditating and also training but his speed had slowed down considerably in the Mid Mortal level. 

His progress was very slow during the past few days even with his ridiculously fast recovery rate, his progress had barely moved. 

"Seems like I need to select a new technique first." David muttered. He had thought that the progress would be the same or even slower if he selected a new technique but from how thing are going, he had no choice but to try it and see if it would be better than the SuperSensory technique. 

Cleaning himself up, David wore his Blue robe which signfied that he was finally an official student of the Academy.

New students are entitled to pick one weapon from the treasury, a new meditation manual and a technique from the library.

David had holed up within his room for the past three days. Apart from the weapon, he hadn't selected a meditation manual yet nor had he selected a technique. He was actually looking forward to it.

Keeping the Magathon Blade back inside his storage ring while placing his main weapon the blade without handle, back at the sheath inside of his sleeves. The robe had been built that way for quick draw.

He then exited his apartment. Walking outside, David gazed at the other apartment with indifference but even then, there was a tiny bit of envy in his eyes.

Back in the institute, everyone was given the same room while you had to spend Gyno points to enchance the room further, making it according to your wishes as long as you have enough Gyno points.

But in here, the rooms depended on your strength. About 999 houses were there in total and each one of those houses was better than the last.

David had been placed in house 987 three days ago. And he if he was to describe the place in one word, the that word is trash! 

The house wasn't even a house, it was supposed to be called a small room that could barely contain anything. Only slightly netter than the room back at the servants block. 

If he wantednl a good house to stay, according to the guide, he needed to challenge those staying at that specific place. If he won, then he can replace the person but if he lose, his opponent could beat him up as long as he isn't dead and crippled, anything is allowed. 

David tuned his eyes away and started walking away from area. He had learnt that the rest of the people from the academy, Freda and the rest had gotten here a few days before him. He had been really surprised and slightly shocked even 

But although they seem more talented than him, his recovery rate is insane which was why he wasn't the least but worried about them rising faster than he could catch up. 

The academy was a perfectly quiet environment except for a few skirmishes that occur between the students. The only thing David didn't like was the fact that there was no transport here. 

As David was think of this, his eyebrows furrowed and his eyes twitched he then turned his eyes towards a specific place in the skies.
