"So, if i get this straight, you are currently experiencing an heartlock?" Freta said while squinting her eyes, scrutinizing him.

"I guess so?" David replied with a slight hesitation in his voice.

"Uhn, uhn." Freta replied as though she couldn't quite believe him.

"And this is also your first time experiencing this?" she asked again.

David sensed something wasn't quite right with the way things were going but he didn't know what, so he answered. "Yes, it's the first time i am experiencing such things, so i got really worried." He frowned as he recalled the amount of repetitions he had gone through but still, his heart failed to break past its limit even by a little amount.

It was as if his heart, blood, and veins had been locked down by something, refusing to increase its blood circulation, that was why he was here currently.

"Ppft!" a small laugh escaped her lips again, but as she tried stifling them with her hands, she accidentally sprayed some droplets of liquid crystal on David's face.

David hurriedly closed his eyes. But he could do nothing about his face as he hadn't even expected something like this.

He immediately grew angry. What type of situation is this? Does this young lady find everything funny to her or something.

Glaring angrily at her. "Are you even a consultant?" he doubt in his heart began to grow. Which consultant bursts out laughing when her patients tells her about their problems. She is obviously lying.

"No No. I mean yes, of course i am. It's just that your problem is a bit funny to me and also very cute too." She chuckled.

David's eyes widened in disbelief. Cute? Cute? Who calls a man Cute!? You can call me something else but do not call me CUTE!

Calming his mind, he asked. "What is funny about the fact that i am experiencing a problem which may very well be a crisis?" David almost roared at her face.

"Woah there little guy. Calm down alright. " she smiled as she calmed her self too. Then she said seriously.

"How long have was it since you had been admitted into the institute?"

Seeing that she had finally turned serious, David pondered before responding too.

"It should be almost a month now." He nodded as he confirmed that it really was almost a month.

Freta didn't say anything as she just stared seriously at David. She didn't know if he was serious or if he was just joking.

If he was joking, then it was a pretty good joke which had lightened up her mood.

But if he was serious, then things would turn more serious than she had imagined.

She suddenly leaned over the desk as she suddenly said "What did you say youe talent was again?"

Looking at her suspiciously, "I'm i even allowed to reveal that to someone else." David replied.

"Just answer the damn question." Her expression turned a total 360. She appeared really anxious.

David's eyes flashed for a brief moment but then, his face turned expressionless as he replied "Never mind me, i was just joking earlier. I have something to do, so I will see you later." After saying that, he turned around to leave. As he walked towards the exit he could feel a bit gaze watching him as he left.

As he was about a few meters away from the exit, a semi transparent bubble enveloped his surroundings, with him as the centre.

David's face immediately turned ugly, he turned around and he shouted. "What is the meaning of this?"

David had read about the transparent barrier that enveloped him. It was a mid level Gadget which forms a delicate barrier that has the ability to absorb the surrounding colour to camouflage and obscure the areas within the barrier.

David glared at Freta from a distance demanding for an explanation. And as Freta was about to explain,

David's body shook and surprisingly, his legs expanded by multiple folds.

BANG!

With the strength contained within his legs right now, he could easily stomp a mammoth to death with a single strike.

But as his legs made contact with the ground, the floor didn't even shake as one might had expected.

David's figure instantly flashed as his body was sent catapulting backwards with immense speed like an arrow imbued with air resistance.

Whoosh!

He was about to burst through the barrier to exit the Archives when he suddenly heard a sigh.

His spine tingled as the hairs on his neck stood on end. He instantly felt cold. It was his body warning him of danger.

He roared loudly as he attempted to increase his speed when,

Coil! Screech!!

A soft like thing wound around his calf, his moving figure was suddenly pulled to a screeching halt almost instantly.

It was a vine branch which had wound up around his feet. It was also moving upwards, trying to wound up his waist, without giving him the slightest bit of opportunity to fight back.

David instinctively knew that he couldn't let the vine reached his waist, unless he would be doomed.

In that instant, he propelled his blood with maximum velocity, pushing his blood, veins and body to its limit. The blood within him flowed like a river within his veins as his hearts pumped dark red blood into his system like a blood machine.

Heat waves spread visibly from him and the surrounding air distorted and the wind churned in Fury, the heat seem to want to burn almost everything surrounding him.

Obviously feeling the intense heat, the vine started to loosen from his thigh. As he was about to sigh in relief, his face suddenly paled.

Two purplish vines which appears to be quite thicker than the first one, swept through the air as they wrapped around his waist and his arms, like an anaconda as they began constricting themselves. Squeezing his bones and flesh.

David tried to struggle, but it was for naught. He suddenly heard Freta's voice.

Freta stood at a corner of a book shelf as she glanced at David with a smile. "Trying to leave or are you planning on escaping?. That was just wishful thinking. No one knows this yet but in here, I am god." She shrugged as though what she said wasn't anything surprising.

David glared at Freta with his bloodshot eyes, hesitation flickered in his eyes but he didn't say anything, he didn't know what this crazy lady was up to.

His brain told him that the situation was quickly getting out of his control, he was mortal danger but yet, instincts told him otherwise. It had remained quiet throughout the ordeal. He hadn't sensed anything at all. Which made him quite hesitant.

As if he had made a decision, David suddenly spoke up. "Thinking about holding me here, Naive!" in a deep tone he shouted.

"Ahh! Open for me!" The heatwaves in his body suddenly great and an orange colour bathed him in their lights. It was as if there was an orange halo around him. Although it wasn't clear at the moment, but the heat waves in his body had began to take in an orange hue.

Crackle!

The air in the surrounding bubble crackled with pure heat. As the distortion in space grew and the heat in the environment increased at a terrifying pace.

It had never happened before. But David was too far gone to notice.

Freta raised an eyebrow in surprise. This new student was interesting. If she was truly an evil person and truly didn't want to help him, she might just want to hold him hostage.

Suddenly, David's figure trembled incessantly and, his body turned a few shades red. Huge amount of red veins popped out from his body as though attempting to burst out from his body.

Swish! Swish!!

Blood revolved in his body with no end like an engine. It was as if his heart was an internal combustion engine as the strength in his body also gradually increased. The orange colour of the heatwaved began to grow more prominent, distorting the air with its force.

His skin cracked as though about to break. His tendons shook and vibrated, his head streamed out steams of air. David gritted his teeth as he shouted in his head 'A little more, just a little more.'

David's mind suddenly turned blank as a bang went off in his heart.

It was at this moment that the green vines receded back as they loosened their hold on him. But if one checked properly, one would see a few parts of the Vines had been burnt black.

Upon seeing this, Freta was stunned and when she recovered, she turned towards David in anger.

The vines were her most precious. She had nurtured them to be quite resilient and with her resources, she was finally succeeded, but with the few charred sides of the vines, the vines would need to recuperate for a while, messing up her plans.

And she would also have to spend a few Gyno points to do that, she doesn't really have the time for all that, she still needed to read as much book as she could.
