Chapter 54 - Change Of Heart
David didn't seem to hear the last part of the instructor's speech as his brain seem to be electrocuted, at some point in time his expression had long since crumbled.
He had finally figured out what was amiss. During the time he went to select an Exercise Manual, he was unaware of the categories. Although he had read through the Student's Manual, he only skimmed through it. He had been ignorant and had chosen a Combat technique instead of an Exercise Manual. A red grade one at that. He didn't know whether he should breakout into tears or laughter.
All of a sudden, the words Janeane had said during their battle regarding a Red Grade technique made quite a lot of sense.
Slapping his forehead in his foolishness, from the beginning, even with the name of the Technique - Three Fold Step, one would know that it was a fighting technique.
There was nothing else he could do, unless he went ahead to select an appropriate Exercise Manual but by the time he starts practicing it, most average student's strength would probably surpass his during that time.
This caused a massive headache to David.
"To my main reason for coming here, like I said previously, it's to deal with problems regarding theories on the practice methods and combat techniques.
To start with, every instructor or professor in the institute says that there are practically no easy shortcuts to help improve one's strength because most ways are very dangerous which includes constant dangerous battles with REBs or things like that.
But I will tell you, there are shortcut to every thing in life. it just depends if you are willing to put in the effort take it or not."
The ears of every student's perked up as they wished to listen to the shortcut they could to improve themselves.
This captivated Dav's attention swiftly.
"For now I will only mention those concerning Combat techniques, Exercising manuals comes later...
Every combat techniques, the Black Grade, Brown grade even the Red Grade utilizes the Vibration and Oscillatory principle!" the instructor was visibly shaking in excitement.
"The discovery was made by a genius in combat theories a few decades ago by Neistein Bristol. He made a bold assumption saying even in the ancient times, when the martial saints still ruled over earth, the mass destruction techniques they all had performed was proven to contain destructive and mysterious oscillating and vibrating frequencies that could casually slice mountain peaks and even smash them apart!"
"From the bits and pieces of information we have managed to excavate from the Ancient Ruinic Battle Grounds, we have strived to come up with a few Strong Battle Techniques of our own rather than stealing the Genes of the REBs to make them ours.
Becoming a Spryher grants one the ability to control any exterior parts of the body more easily and as time passes or as one grows stronger, controlling the interior parts of the body becomes a possibility.
To begin learning a Combat Technique, the control of the muscles are the most important. It requires vibrating the muscles to a specific frequency and a few external actions such as body movement." he let out an audible sigh.
Within the institute there was obviously this with terrifying controls over their bodies but, they would never be able to control their overall muscles perfectly.
But David was an exception, it was unknown when it started, but he had noticed with rapt attention that he could control most part of his body, if not all!
It was a terrifying thought but he had beber once thought much about it and hadn't really tested its limits either. When instructor Aella had mentioned something similar to that, he had been mistaken into thinking it was the normal ability gained from becoming a Spryher except, he was wrong.
David felt that if he really tried his best, he could make his blood, move throughout his body, it was inconceivable thought as anyone who headed him would probably laugh his ass off. Even David felt that he was probably mistaken, and hadn't tried to experiment it with himself. It was probably because he had been busy, he hadn't had enough time to ponder on it thoroughly. He had even almost forgotten about it.
But the instructor's words drove him wide awake. But right now, he desperately wanted to test it here, with the instructor in place just incase something went wrong.
The instructor then proceeded with an heavy sigh. "Its a pity that we haven't managed to find any test subject with extreme control over its muscles and body, we might just be able to extract the secrets from it."
This words immediately drew Dav's actions to a stand still. Test subject? Extract? He could help but shiver at the thought.
It was unknown what would happen if he was discovered. Although he hadn't experimented on it, he knew his body wouldn't deceive him. He calmed himself down, he planned on testing it after the class.
It wasn't that there weren't any Beast or Humans with extreme muscle controls, it's just that they had trained themselves to a very high level, making them Powerhouses each on their own. To experiment on them just for the sake of increasing the muscles control, was just too wasteful. Even the Grand Professor would oppose to such wasteful uses of precious material.

Scrolling down through the list of Top Ten Individuals in the rankings. When it got to the 7th place – David Syntex, the pretty fingers visibly froze.
Phylida's eyebrow rose as she pondered. Suddenly, she tapped in the option selecting for more information in exchange for 300 points. She was previously interested in him but now that she had been ordered to keep a watch on him, it had evolve from simple interest into an extreme curiosity.
In spite of the fact that 300 Gyno Points was no small amount, she had paid 300 points with no hesitation
It was Impossible for her family's elder to transfer some to her as that was going against the rules of the institute. The most he could was to grant her some preferential different. Otherwise, he would definitely lose his job in the institute since there were many people vying for the positions in the institute.
7th - David Syntex
Room No : 13248
Combat Technique(s) : Three Fold Step (Red level technique)
Current Location : Archive(1st Floor)
Battle Status : Currently Protected
Her beautiful lips pursed as she went deep into contemplation. Exchanging for one's information won't include the Exercising Method of the individual which was quite the dilemma for Phyllida.
However, she believed that the institute definitely had a detailed information on David, she just had to find means to get it.
But she soon frowned, Red level technique. What was this guy trying to pull. Should I call him ignorant or too smart.
Her thoughts soon changed. Just because she was asked to keep an eye on him and also retrieve some information on him doesn't mean he was very intelligent, he could a worthless individual and the only thing keeping him valuable is the information he held.
Coming to this conclusion, David's threat level dropped by half and the reason why it don't fully drop to the lowest level is because she could never underestimate someone who is in the 7th place on the Rankings List, protected at that.
Protected means currently unavailable for any forced battles.
