Multi-Gene

10:05 pm.

David glanced at the time with with an inexplicable expression on his face. He was standing at the edge of a balcony which was more than 20 meters away from the ground.

A few seconds later, he took out an eye glass from his pocket and wore it on his face. It was a Gadget that works like a path finder, kind of like a clear route seeker in the skies.

He wasn't the only who had the Sky walker and was obviously not the only one who was going to fly by it this night throughout the entire institute.

The eye glasses connects with other and makes a clear route for the user so as not to bump into others unexpectedly. The higher grade even had the Auto pilot function. Directly controlling the Sky Walker to fly safely to the assigned destination.

And as for Sky Cruisers, there was no need to worry about them as they were the ones who control the upper part of the atmosphere, meaning they were only allowed to fly in a designated high altitude.

While the Sky walker rules the lower atmosphere, allowed to fly in a much lower altitude and was banned from reaching higher than a specific altitude. So as to avoid any mode of accidents.

Pulling up the hood of his cloak, he sighed lightly. He was now ready.

Jumping off the balcony, the wind screamed miserably past his face as his body rushed towards the ground head first, flapping his hair fiercely backwards.

Gravity was upon him as his body sped downwards past the air with increasing velocity, parallel to the wall of the dormitory.

When he felt his speed of decent has reached its peak, he spread out his arms and changed his position, flying flat, horizontally to the ground.

With that, he immediately activated the sky Walker. The soles of his boots opened up with a slight clinking sound. And two thrusters emerged from within.

Pressing his toes lightly, heat instantly erupted from beneath the boots, propelling his body further into the air together with the momentum he had built, he was so fast that the student who were walking and discussing amongst themselves could only see a dark shadow move past them.

Flying for several minutes, David slowed down the output of his thrusters as he saw he had reached Windstate Street.

With a soft thump, he landed on the outskirts of the street as he retracted the thrusters beneath his feet. Looking around slightly, the streets was still busy even at this moment at night as several people were walking to and fro.

Shifting his body sideways, he allowed a fat guy that was about to bump into him pass by.

"How could there possibly be such a meeting in this area?" he was confused. This place appeared to be a well known street as students and labour workers bump into each other every time, selling or buying certain things like food, herbs tech parts and some other things he could recognise.

Opening his interface, he clicked on the message and allowed the arrow to pop up a few centimetres above his wrist.

Since nobody else could hope to see his own holographic image, David wasn't worried about people recognising that his holo image was an arrow leading him somewhere.

Casually strolling through the busy market, David checked out some things in the market as though he wanted to buy something.

When he reached a the middle of the market, David casually grabbed a book that was placed in front of a small store.

Reading its content. It was actually a training manual. "Unity Technique."

Reading its introduction, "The unity technique combines two Exercising manuals together, assisting them to coexist, forming a kind of symbiotic relationship. Contains only 12 levels in it."

David blinked his eyes as he returned to reality, he glanced at the book in his hands with a deadpan expression.

Expressionless, he dropped the book and immediately turned to leave. Did they think of him as a fool? If the technique was actually real, it would never have being in this type of flea market.

Combining two techniques that weren't really comparable with each other was just impossible and even if it was real, there had to be a huge disadvantage to it, otherwise it wouldn't be laying here.

"Hey! What do you think you are doing?" a hoarse voice shouted at him and before he knew it, he was grabbed by the shoulders.

Surprised , David turned around and saw it was an old man that had grabbed him. "What's wrong?"

"What's wrong? You dare ask me what's wrong? You took my technique off my shelf, sneakily recorded it with your system and then hurriedly dropped it, intending to leave. And you dared ask me what was wrong?" The old man who was the owner of the store screamed agitatedly, sending spit flying all over David's face.

The crowds of students and ordinary people began to stir as they gathered around them.

David was immediately stunned and he immediately opened his mouth to explain. After all, the person he was talking to was old and might have misunderstood him. "You might have been mis-" his words were instantly cut off short ass he was interrupted.

"Ha! You even dared to lie to my face." The old man snorted. David was beginning to get embarrassed. He watched as more and more people gathered as they pointed at him while shaking their head.

"Everyone look at this evidence!" the old man took out a device from his pockets.

An holographic image popped in the air, showing David picking up the technique and after a few seconds of reading the book, he dropped it and that was where it stopped.

'if you don't get moving in the next 10 minutes, you will be late to the meeting.' Hazel's voice rang out in his head.

'Fvck! What the hell is going on here!' David cursed in frustration.

"Alright old man, how much is the technique then?" he was beginning to get annoyed.

The old man seem to have calmed down when he heard that "It doesn't cost much, just a bit of Gyno points. With your magna-"

"How much does it cost!?" David almost yelled. He was almost late. Zara had already warned him never to be late to the meeting.

"Alright alright, it's just 10,000 Gyno points." The old man's beard flew swayed as he spoke.

David almost fell to the ground. "10,000 Gyno points? Why don't you just go rob the Institute's treasurery! " David cursed sending his own spit down the man's face.

"How much can you pay then!"

"100 Gyno points."

"Why don't you just steal it from me!"

"That's all I have, only 100 Gyno points left!" David said decisively. He knew he was being scammed but he wasn't going to waste his Gyno points because of some kind of pity he had for the skinny and bony old man.

"Y-you!!!" the man pointed at David and his face turned rapidly, struggling to breathe.

"Here, take it or leave it." David stated casually. He wasn't going to allow himself to be fooled more than that.

Blinking his eyes, the old ma could see tat David was already firm with his decision and shook his head inside his head. This one is a bit smart, but just a bit.

Grunting loudly, the hold man took out a device and accepted the transfer from David's system.

David didn't even wait for the old man to say anything, he grudgingly took the book from the counter and turned to leave.

The crowds parted ways as they allowed him to pass. As he was passing by he heard a few whispers.

"Old Bai had tricked another Ignorant student off his Gyno points. Tsk Tsk Tsk. The exercise manual is a wide spread technique that can't even be sold for 10 gyno points but that old guy sold it for 10 times its price. That old guy is just too scheming." One of the other traders in the surroundings whispered.

"I wonder why he hadn't gotten in trouble with the students yet."

"Old Bai is a smart guy. He always goes where there are crowds of people and never once goes anywhere alone. Naturally the students he had scammed wasn't able to deal with him as they would be expelled they are caught breaking the rules of fighting." One of the other traders inputted.

David felt his face grow red in anger as he turned and glared at the old man. He knew he had been scammed and had even allowed it but never in his imagination would he have thought he would be cheated to pay 10 times the amount. Ten times!

He was so ashamed of him self at this moment he wanted to hit his head against the wall.

The old man didn't even bother about David once he got the Gyno po

ints.. He sat down back in his reclined chair and happily hummed a tone while stroking his beard softly.
