Multi-Gene

As they walked away from the medic centre, passing through varieties of buildings, the young man leading David was entire silent throughout the journey.

Although he might have not been scared witless, he had still been intimidated by David\'s display back then.

As a perfect Mortal stage practitioner, there was no way he would have fallen for an illusion from a newly advanced Mid level mortal stage student. Which meant that the scenario that had happened previously at the medic lab wasn\'t an illusion at all and was all real.

Which directly lead to the fact that although David\'s brain wave was low, his physical strength was likely off the chart.

The young man kept stealing strange glances at David with the corner of his eyes.

David didn\'t mind the stare and the weird silence, he was obviously absorbed by his surroundings.

After a few moments, the young man paused and pointed towards a finely decorated building that had boldly written words hung before it. Students Affairs.

"That\'s the students affairs building, go in there and register your details. I will be here when you are done."

David gazed at the building and nodded his head softly. Walking forwards along with the few students walking in and out of the building.

Going towards the signboard that stated \'Registration\' and ignoring the other stands.

After typing in his details including his name, age and other details about himself, David asked to drop a bit of his blood on a piece of a tiny object that has a faint illumination in it.

He was then given a bag not quite different from the badge he had been given when he joined in as a servant of the academy.

But the bag was clearly a bit different from What he had been given previously. Storing the bag in storage ring, he turned around to leave the hall.

He had long since noticed that some of the people here although they do not have storage ring, a few of them had one in their hands which was quite the surprise for him since back at the institute, storage ring was very rare.

But here in the academy, storage rings weren\'t all that rare after all.

As soon as David exited the building, the young man that was waiting by the entrance for David, turned around and started leaving as soon as he spotted him.

David walked faster to catch up to him.

"Where are we going? I thought u was done with the registration." David asked.

The young man remained silent and didn\'t want to answer David, but then, he flashed back and remembered the person he was talking with was a scary individual.

"We are going to the Treasure Hall ." he reluctantly answered.

"Treasure Hall? I\'m I getting any treasure or I\'m I dropping some." David asked sceptical about the name.

"You will know once you get there. " The young man was beginning to get irritated which was obviously showing on his face.

David raised an eyebrow but didn\'t ask for any information anymore a cold expression appeared on his face but then, it turned to pure indifference.

In a normal day, if he met with someone as weak as this outside the institute or academy, it wouldn\'t take more than a tiny slap to flatten him into a pile of meat paste.

But then again, killing and fighting was prohibited here and can only be done outside the academy otherwise it\'d be suspension.

\'We\'ll save you for later.\' his tongue locked the edge of his lips as he pondered how much resistance his opponent would put up. He honestly wanted to experience a fight with a mortal stage practitioner even if the person was in the perfect stage.

After all this thinking, the young man paused and right before then was a very large hall heavily guarded by students rotating shifts in an out.

From David\'s point of view, it was impossible to penetrate through their defences except one had overwhelming strength to crush those hindering his way.

But then, there had to be some hidden mechanisms that would stop that from happening. Anyways it was like he had a death wish, so David waved off the idea.

"Good morning senior Kysan. You brought in another new student again?" One of the guards protecting the Treasure Hall walked forward as he asked with a smile on his face.

The young man whose name was apparently Kysan remained indifferent as he said. "Lead the new student into the treasure Hall to pick his treasured weapon. I will be waiting."

Seeing the lack of response from the young man, the guard wasn\'t at all offended. In fact, he smiled even more as though he understood something, he replied. "I will do as you say."

"You and you, bring this young man into the hall and advice him on the best possible treasured weapon he could pick." The head guard pointed at two other guards.

"Okay sir." The two responded simultaneously.

Knowing what to do, David follows behind the two guards, curiously gazing at the luxurious materials used in building the place. It seems as though it was inky for decoration but then, there as something off about them. As they seem strong enough to withstand an attack from an Integrated Phaser.

After walking a few distance, they finally reached a door. The large door had several patterns engraved within them, along it look magnificent.

"Hu!" The two guards shouted in unison and then dragged the door open.

"Remember, you cam only chose one weapon otherwise, you won\'t be allowed to take even one of you grabbed more than two treasured objects." One of the guards advised.

"Although we shouldn\'t be doing this, but since you came with senior Kysan, we will give you a piece of advice." The second guard quickly added.

David nodded his and showed an expression that he was listening attentively.

"Really good treasured items have their presence locked within them. And if you aren\'t looking specifically for them, you wouldn\'t be able to notice them as they would look like ordinary weapons in one\'s hands but they are actually Legendary Weapons!" The guards exclaimed quietly, making David gasp.

Nodding his head he bowed. "Thank you seniors for your help, in the future, I will make sure to return this favour."

Although it was true that legendary weapons hid their presence from others, there was no way the academy would place a legendary weapon at the Public Treasure Hall which meant that the guards wanted David to pick a really weak weapon with no presence at all that can barely resist any attacks.

The two guards smiled at David\'s stupidity when they saw his actions, but then, they seem to feel some kind of chill creeping down their bones, making their laugh sound awkward.

"It\'s his fault for offending Senior Kysan. Otherwise, we wouldn\'t have given him such a bad advice. Who knows what kind of stupid weapon he would choose." One or the guards smirked.

"Come to think of it, he might actually be able to pick up that legendary object."

"The weapon had been here for so long and no one has been worthy enough to pick it up, there\'s no way a new student would be able to pick that weapon up, it\'s simply impossible." The guard refuted.

"Let\'s wait and see, I wouldn\'t be surprised if he chose an ordinary kitchen knife. Hahaha." Thee guards laughing uproariously. The treasure room was sound proof. They weren\'t afraid David might be listening to their words.

David snickered slightly entered into the treasure room. The badge he held in his hand gave off a slight heat as he entered. Immediately a destructive barrier formed right before him but before it could do any harm, it faded as David\'s badge continued to heat up.

David felt his heart jumped and his expression instantly turned serious. That barrier was just too dangerous and although it might not injure him serious, it was still enough to leave some nasty wounds if he was hit.

As the barrier disappeared, David\'s eyes squinted as his eyes touched upon different types of weapon. His pupils constricted and a type of satisfaction or temptation filled him.

If he could sell all of these weapons, he would make enough money he wouldn\'t need to go out for missions anymore and just stay indoor growing stronger steadily.

But then the reality of only selecting one weapon hit him as he knew it was only a pipe dream.

David sighed and then walked forwards upon the various types of weapons. He could feel different types of waves emerging form those weapons. Some were strong, some weak while some had nothing at all.

And there were some that David\'s brain wave was either too weak to probe or they actually might be ordinary weapon.

David paused. The setup was totally confusing. If you get too greedy and pick up a weapon you can\'t probe assuming it was a powerful weapon, upon merging with it, one might just realise it was only an ordinary weapon. The despair.

But then, if one was lucky enough to grab hold of a powerful weapon, then the person was truly lucky.

But one thing David had learnt about in his days, he knew never to depend on his luck, it wasn\'t worth it.
