Multi-Gene

They were trying to escape. It was as though they knew they were no match for him.

David didn\'t pursue them as one would expect. He strangely remained still as he stared at another part of the forest.

Unknown to him, several figures stood on top of a huge tree staring at him. He wasn\'t able to sense them previously since he had been distracted by the group of bandits but now, he immediately sensed them the moment his focus left the bandits.

They were five people standing at the branches of the large tree, staring down at him while casually discussing amongst each other.

David immediately recognised them as the people who had alighted from the sky cruisers together with him the previous day.

They were from same institute and because of this, David didn\'t take any rash movement yet.

"What are they doing here?" David muttered with a puzzled expression as he also stared back at them.

Although he only felt threatened by the light skinned boy and not the others individually, but once they appeared together like this, there is no way he would be able to take them all on.

"Are you sure the smell of blood from the Black Falcon leader is coming from this guy?" One of the six people asked in obvious puzzlement.

While the four others also showed the same level of confusion on their faces except for the light skinned, blue haired guy. He kept staring at David as though wanting to punch a hole through him.

The reason they were confused was simple. With the level of strength David had just executed a while ago with the bandits, it was slightly possible he could have killed the Black Falcon leader.

But the fact here was that, the Black Falcon leader wasn\'t alone. There was also someone stronger then the gang leader but he had also being eliminated.

Not to forget but there is also the fact that the place was littered with gang members and although they were weak, their shear numbers could certainly make up for the lack of strength.

But they too had been totally annihilated. Which means the person that had done this was incredibly strong.

Even they couldn\'t hope to achieve such a result.

"I recognise this kid." One of the six people hesitated as he also wasn\'t sure were he had seen David.

"I remember now. He is the new student in the institute that had taken first place in the Rankings." The person snapped his fingers as he remembered where he had seen him from.

"A new student? Now this is funny. Bervlin, there is no way a new student could have the strength to exterminate an entire gang. Your sense of smell must have been mistaken again." Someone else\'s sneered.

"I\'m not mistaken, I\'m quite certain of this. Although he might not be the one to have exterminated the gang, I\'m very certain he was there and might have even seen something." The young man named Bervlin argued back.

"That\'s enough. Bervlin is right. He might not be the one to have eliminated the group, but he was certainly there." The leader of the group, the sky blue haired young man interrupted.

His gaze was on the clothed weapons that David had on his back. After a while of scrutiny, he finally figured out what it was. They were the nano weapons of the gang leader and the masked man.

His eyes shone when he saw this. He had come here specifically to deal with the masked man but certainly didn\'t expect someone else to have dealt with him.

And since David had the weapon the masked man had wielded, he might have acquired the Nightcore.

"Capture him, and let\'s interrogate him. He might have what we need." The light skinned, blue haired young man said to the other five.

"Let me do it." Before the others could say anything, a bulky young man in their midst said as he step forwards.

In a flash, the ground shook as he landed on the grass.

With a smile on his face, he advanced towards David step by step.

"Meeting a junior in such a dangerous place, what coincidence. I\'m a second year student of the institute, Zhang Yu." Zhang Yu paused in his steps a few feet away from David and stretched his hands forwards for David to shake.

David pretend as though he didn\'t see it. And instead asked a question "What do five second year students want by spying on me?"

Not at all embarrassed he was ignored. Zhang Yu felt he should at least give a David a little explanation and also confirm somethings.

"You accepted the mission kill one of the Black Falcon gang members right?" Zhang Yu asked.

Furrowing his brows. "What does that have to do with you guys spying on me?" David asked.

"We just wanted to know if you saw the person who had exterminated the Black Falcon gang. We might let you go if you cooperate well enough."

David remained silent as he heard this. Now he could roughly figure out why they had searched for him. But still couldn\'t figure out the specific reason why they did look for him.

His eyes then flashed as he remembered the black object he had taken from the masked man\'s body.

\'Did they come for me because of it or the star coins?\'

Although he wasn\'t certain with this conjecture, there could be some connection, meaning he was close to the answer.

"No, I saw nothing. I was kidnapped when I began to search for there hideouts and when I woke up, they were all dead." David replied with a shrug.

The young man named Zhang Yu frowned slightly as he remained silent. He didn\'t know do David was telling the truth or not. But still, it doesn\'t matter as he just had to capture the kid before him and search him.

"Okay, I believe you. You are free to go then." Zhang Yu said with a smile.

David squinted his eyes and he knew things weren\'t going to be as easy as the second year student had said. "But?"

"Haha, you are quite smart." Zhang Yu laughed and then his expression turned savage as he gave David a sinister smile.

"But you have to drop everything you took from the hideout and accept a thorough search before we can let you go."

David scowled instantly. He already knew won\'t be as easy as the guy had brought it out to be.

They expected him to drop his loot worth more than a 100,000 Gyno points and accept being searched by them. Do they think he was a kid?

"And what if I don\'t accept to such things?" David asked in reply, his expression solemn.

"It\'s not up to you to decide." One of the five second year students that was on the jumped down from the huge tree. His smile was even more fierce and it was as though they felt nothing wrong in bullying a student weaker than them.

Zhang Yu also chuckled in response and then his hands moved with lightening speed as he grabbed at David\'s shoulder abruptly.

With a snort, David\'s body swayed as he took a step backwards evading the grab.

Since his enemies had underestimated him, it was the perfect move to strike but he needed separate them as he could not fight them all at once.

The light skinned guy should be even more troublesome to deal with.

Surprised, Zhang Yu\'s gaze darkened and strode forwards. The ground beneath him have a groan as he stretched forth his hands once more.

This time, David didn\'t dodge and he allowed the hand to grab at his shoulders. And ROM outsiders perspective, it was as though he was to slow to evade Zhang Yu\'s grab.

Zhang Yu smile maliciously when he saw this. But as his hands were about to touch upon David\'s shoulder, his expression changed when he sensed as massive amount of force coming from beneath him.

A massive foot covered with terrible muscles and crawling veins stomped at his chest with air being compressed in it.

Zhang Yu hurriedly activated his gene, only a small amount of scales covered his body when he felt as though an entire Sky Cruiser had crashed Into him.

"Bang!"

The second year student flew backwards, before stopping as he hit a tree. He struggled to stand up from the ground, blood spilling from his mouth.

The others were shocked. David didn\'t allow such an opportunity to go to waste.

He ran towards the other second year student that was still in a daze.

The temperature in the environment rose as David activated Formless Heat. The muscles in his arm inflated and he sent a Punch directly to the abdomen of the young man.

Startled, the young man hurriedly activated his gene.

Fur as hard as metals grew out from his body and stood on end like a needle. This reminded David of porcupines but his fist attack didn\'t show any signs of slowing down.

The young man shouted and the fur like needles that grew in his body flew out in all directions like flying needles.. Their speed were even more faster than bullets.
