Chapter 217 - Going Back
"What about outside the institute?" Brogan suggested. He seem to have accepted the fact that Phyllida was a much better choice than he is as the head of the younger generation.
Phyllida's eyes lit up. "After this event, we should be able to go out on missions. As long as we are outside the institute, our clan can take care of this trouble some matter. No matter how strong he is, he can't possibly fight off our four / five gene Phasers." She then glanced at Brogan with slight surprise.
"Not bad at all." She smiled
"Hmph!" he snorted and he swung his sleeves and left.

It took David and Elvi 10 minutes to get to their destination. It was a very wide clear field that David had passed by a few days ago and as it seemed that there couldn't be a supply box here, he took his leave back then.
There were lots of people gathered there as well currently speaking to each other or quietly waiting for professors to come address them and take them back to the institute.
Choosing a spot, David casually took a sit and rested his mind. He was very tired as the amount of concentration he had used to patch himself back perfectly was enormous. He really wanted to sleep back.
He had waved Elvi off earlier to go do her own thing. It wasn't like he own her or anything.
Although David was resting, his eyes were subconsciously looking for that figure he longed for. But the place was just too crowded, he couldn't find her.
Suddenly, David heard a beeping sound and he brought up his holo image. Her wasn't the only one though, the rest of the students also heard the sound and brought forth their interfaces
When he checked, he saw the information. "Seat No D46. Have a safe trip "
When he finished reading the information, David heard a buzzing sound from the skies. He and other students raised up their heads and they saw four Battle ships landed in the clearing right in front of them.
David wasn't in the right senses to. Be awed by the display. He was exhausted and it seems to be increasing with each passing second.
David yawned as he walked up to the plane having D on it and immediately entered.
It took a moment to search for his seat but he found it at last and immediately sat down on it.
As he was about to doze off, he smelled the fragrance of a lady sitting beside him.
Too tired to open his eyes, David turned his face to the other side.
"Uhn? You are still alive?" a female voice spoke in his ears.
David frowned and he rolled his eyes. "Idiot."
Not minding her any longer, he adjust his seat to make it comfortable for himself.
The lady wasn't bothered by his words and continued. "How did you manage to survive the more than 20 strong people that wanted to kill you?" the lady asked, genuinely puzzled.
But what answered her was a snore. David had slept off. So she could only keep her question to her self.
After a few minutes, the battle ship suddenly jolted and with the two omni directional thrusters by it sides, it took flight instantly.
* * * * *
Roughly three hours later, the ship arrived at the institute depot and landed with a terrible thump which immediately jolted David awake. Wiping the drool off his face, he looked outside the small window and saw that they were back at the institute.
He stood up together with the rest of the students and exited the ship.
As he was calling for a public transport, he saw Nihyuh from afar and immediately called out.
"Hey, traitor!" Nihyuh didn't answer to the calling but seem to feel someone's intense gaze at him so he turned around.
"Oh, it's you, David." Nihyuh smiled as he hurried towards David's side.
David frowned as he said "Can you wipe that disgusting smile off your face?"
"Uhn? Why?" Nihyuh frowned a little.
"Cause that just makes you look like a psychopath." David casually said.
And both of them started walking forwards.
"Really? How come? I think I look cute and innocent."
"Have you seen someone who smiles at you cutely like a child but reeks of blood and waves of killing intent?" David stated with disdain on his face.
"Uhn?" Nihyuh was startled but then, he put on his original face and he remained expressionless.
"Didn't think I'd see you alive. And I was thinking I had one less opponent with you dead." Nihyuh said.
"Are you happy I'm alive or sad that I'm alive?" David paused in his tracks as he squinted his eyes at Nihyuh.
"Uhm… its actually a bit of both but still, I'm glad your alive." Nihyuh answered truthfully.
"If not, who else would I be talking to like this." Nihyuh shrugged and they remained silent for a moment before they burst out into laughter.
"You are truly a psychopath man." David muttered.
"Who knows. So how'd you survive from that Brown daze beast anyway?" Nihyuh asked with a frown.
"I killed it if course." David said casually.
Stunned, Nihyuh paused in his tracks but soon he recovered.
"I always knew kids with higher bloodline had stronger gadgets to protect them selves. I just didn't expect it to be this outrageous. You even killed a Phaser level beast. Now that is just crazy." Nihyuh stated with a shake of his head.
David laughed but didn't say anything to refute it. "It's only a one use item anyway. There's no way I can use it any longer."
"Wait a moment, so if you killed the brown daze beast, wouldn't that like spike up your kill points to at least top 50?" Nihyuh speculated.
"What's your position in the rankings list?" Nihyuh asked ad he brought up his interface.
"First place."
Nihyuh began to scroll through the list as he responded unconsciously "Alright, first pla_ Wait, what!?"
