"Alright, Alright! Here should be safe enough. I only agreed to help you because of the Gyno points you are offering and frankly enough, the amount you are paying isn't enough for the help I offered ." David said frankly with his arms crossed as he glared at Dravin.
Currently, their location is a few kilometres away from where the battle had taken place, so it could be said to be safe.
David hurriedly asked for his payments since he didn't want to be in the company of the two guys anymore.
"I know, but the amount I have here, isn't enough." Dravin smiled bitterly.
David's face darkened and waves emanated from him. "What do you mean? You plan to not pay me?"
"No, no. Its not what you are thinking. Honestly, I already spent all the points I have left but as soon as I get to the institute, it would be a simple matter to get enough Gyno points to repay. I just need to days." Dravin's eyes furrowed slightly as he stated.
Gazing straight into his eyes, David could see his sincerity. "Fine! Just do as you promised." David said forcefully and he turned around. But then, he seem to have remembered something.
"Oh, for everyday that passes by without paying the Gyno points, there would be a 10% increase rate on it."
"David, that's a little too much. I can't possible agree to such an absurd thing." Dravin yelled with his face flushed red. Although he could easily make money by making a few basic serums, he also needed money to buy materials and also, for other things such as replacing the button force fields he had used during the fight to ensure his safety.
"You either agree to it or I will just strip you of every thing you have here." David smirked and his voice was laced with a threatening tone.
"Fine! Fine! Just hurry up and leave!" Dravin agreed through gritted his teeth. He felt that if David stayed any longer, he would eventually explode even though he couldn't beat David.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Alright, I will take my leave." David chuckled before turning around. The corner of his eyes glanced at Slythen. He was on a large boulder, sitting cross legged adjusting his breathing. He seem to be healing his injuries by a few special method.
David couldn't help but admire him a little bit. He was even stronger than Phyllida if she didn't have the Combat Suit. But he lacks combat experience.
David felt that if Pyhllida without wearing the Combat suit and Slythen were to fight, Phyllida would undoubtedly win without a stretch.
Her combat sense was just too strong and Slythen would definitely be unable to keep up. If his reflexes hadn't been fast enough and his learning capability was just a tad bit slow, he knew he wouldn't have won his battle against Phyllida.
Slythen suddenly opened his eyes when he noticed someone was looking at him. Seeing who it was, he glared intently at David, obviously dissatisfied by the outcome of their previous battle but didn't say anything.
Shaking his head, David revolved his blood and his heartbeat quickened. With a stomp, he disappeared into the distance.

"Where did you get that bastard from?" Slythen seem to be genuinely curious.
"Black Spider sent me an information saying that someone strong from our class was coming to steal my Gyno points from me. At first, I was a confused and a bit sceptical about the information but since it was sent to me for free, there was no harm in taking a few precautions so I hired a few bodyguards." Dravin paused as he jumped on top of a branch. He continued.
"But when I received the information about him stating how strong he was, I knew the precautions I took wouldn't be enough, so I gave up and thought of a new plan. It was during that time I received another information from Black Spider about me being assassinated. Then I thought of a plan to make him owe me a favour. I guess he just fulfilled it." Dravin shrugged his shoulders as he leaned back on the huge tree.
Slythen arrogance seem to have reappeared. With a raised eyes rows, he asked. "That was supposed to be a favour? Then why are you still paying him?"
Dravin chuckled bitterly as he though back to the conversation he had when he contacted David through the ONI. He shook is head as he stated "I'm not really sure that guy is a man of his words, so I just enticed him further with what he truly wanted. It seemed to have worked though." He shrugged.
"I just didn't expect him to be this strong." Dravin said disbelievingly.
Slythen's expression turned ugly as he recalled being sent flying with single kick.
The atmosphere turned cold in an instant.
Dravin glanced at Slythen and immediately let out an awkward laugh.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
David was in deep thoughts as he rapidly ran through the dense forest. He had seen the strength of Slythen and to be honest, the guy was powerful and very talented. Is just that, there might be others like him or even more talented like him.
David didn't know but the possibility of there being people as talented as Slythen or even more talented than Slythen existing, was huge. But although talents in this case matters as that would enable one to grow at a rapid pace but still, effort matters.
David couldn't count the number of life threatening battles he had gone through which had pushed him to the level he was in right now. It wasn't that he was talented, it was the effort he had gone through and well, also his ability. It was widely known in the institute that going through numerous life and death battle was the best way to advance rapidly and increase one's potential.
It could be said that it was entirely true as David had personally experienced them. But, would one always be so lucky as to escape or come out top in every life threatening battle? That still remains a mystery and that is also the reason most barely talented individuals refused the training. They were extremely scared of death.
Shaking his head, David got rid of his thoughts. He himself is even more afraid of death than anyone as he has experienced it previously so he had no right to judge anyone. And that was exactly why he was using the method. And now, he could be considered the strongest amongst his peers.
But due to his low talent, he has already encountered a bottle neck.
Finding an empty cave, David killed the beast that was sleeping inside. Throwing its body far away from the cave, into the bush. And although, it stank, it was still bearable. David sat cross legged inside the cave as he felt the situation in his body.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe revolved his blood to the maximum. The sound of heart beat resounded throughout the entire cave. Scaring the smaller beast away from the surroundings.
His blood flowed smoothly through his veins and his felt his veins were already strong enough to withstand the fast pace of 199 CPM. It was another heartlock at 199 CPM. He had expected it to somewhat loosen during his fight against Phyllida and even more so against Phyllida but it remained tightly bound, unable to move past its limit.
His muscles bulged slightly and the blood vessels in his body popped out from his head, neck and chest. He looked particularly terrifying. But this ass just when he hadn't even tensed a single part of his muscles because he was in a relaxed state.
Lord knows how terrifying he would be when he was all tensed up.
Calming down his nerves, David let out a turbid breath. And he opened up his interface.
"Hazel, tell me. What is my current situation like."
"Body health is considered good. There are a few complications but that will disappear in a few days since it was the side effect of ingesting blood orbs and soaking in the energy tank for long periods of time. Blood revolution at 199 CPM and according to the information stored in my data base, that should be the limit of your potential as a Three Star talented individual."
David frowned and ignored her first sentence since it wasn't a very serious matter but then, he asked with slight suspicion
"So you mean a three star student would only have blood revolution of 199 CPM?"
"Yes, according to the records." Hazel seem to notice how serious David was, so she did t pull any tricks.
"Show me the statistics." David said solemnly.
A few seconds later, his interface blurred and another information was shown through the interface.
Upon seeing the information, David adjusted his sitting posture. The Institute didn't inform them about these things. He frowned and slight despair seem to be creeping up his heart slowly.. The Institute didn't inform them about these things.
