Pa! Pa! Pop!

His bones popped, his muscles shivered and his tendons stretched out with extreme flexibility!

Clenching his fist, he could feel every muscles, veins and cells in his body shiver in excitement as they had just been soaked in the Energy Room for a few hours.

His heart purred in satisfaction, and his blood flowed quite easily.

Although his strength didn't increase as, his body felt quite full of energy. His was at a stage were his strength wouldn't increase easily and even if he were to soak inside the energy fluid for a whole day, his strength still wouldn't increase a single bit.

As he exited the energy room, he received a message from his imprint. It was a message from the Institute saying that there was an emergency gathering the next day.

His eyebrows furrowed as he thought. This was the very first emergency gathering and David didn't know if it was a good or a bad thing. Thinking too much was usually his problem, so he just left it as it was. When he gets there, he would know.

David dismissed the message as he turned around to leave.

As soon as he entered his room, he slept off immediately. His snore resounded in his room.

When David woke up, the sun was almost up. But the weather was extremely cold. It appears bas though it was winter already but there wasn't snow, nor was there rain, but the weather was a bit cloudy

As soon as he finished cleaning himself up, he left his room, unhurriedly. He didn't head towards the Cafeteria this time, he felt quite full of energy. He might just end up making himself more uncomfortable.

Leisurely, he walked out of the dorm. He was in quite the good mood. He nodded his head at any and every one he came across with.

Soon, he spotted Nihyuh from a distance, David glanced at before he nodded his head.

Nihyuh smiled. "You always leave immediately after class, its been a while since i have seen you." Nihyuh grinned and his white teeth with his long canine could be seen jutting outwards.

With a raised eyebrows, David said casually. "Why do you still keep up the facade, i assume you must be tired by now." he turned towards Nihyuh as he scrutinized him. "That doesn't seem to be the case."

Nihyuh visibly froze he gazed at David, trying to figure something out. David's eyes were normal as though he didn't care. Both of them held their gazes for almost 30 seconds straight.

Suddenly, Nihyuh bursted out laughing "Alright, you caught me." he said, but his expression changed instantly from his previous smiling face, to just pure indifference.

"When did you notice?" his tone was cold, freezing to the ears. It was like the warmhearted Nihyuh wasn't there to begin with.

"Does it matter?" David smirked as they continued to walk towards the distance.

Nihyuh frowned, he needed to confirm something a glint flashed in his eyes

"You sure are very stupid to get deceived for this long." Nihyuh mocked with a small laugh.

Giving him a sidelong glance, David responded. "You don't need to instigate me." David snickered.

"I found out during our first meeting, I just wasn't sure." he responded with disinterest.

Nihyuh's frown deepened. And he replied "That is impossible." Obviously finding it very hard to believe.

"Oh, why is that?" David chuckled.

"Then why didn't you say anything?" Nihyuh appeared truly confused.

David snorted, "Why would i?" David questioned back.

While also mumbling "I was too lazy to read the Student's guide, so you think I have time for your nonsense." he cast a disdainful glance at Nihyuh.

Nihyuh finally kept quite he squinted his eyes as he observed David, but his expression soon turned indifferent.

Silence reigned amidst the duo. Which was immediately interrupted by the massive flow of students flooding in like a wave towards the large hall at a distance.

The hall was unbelievably large but it looked really old as the signs of time visibly shown. It looked as single fist stroke was all it would take to make it crumble to the ground.

There was almost a thousand students that stood outside the hall discussing amongst themselves. The large hall was closed off, so they needed to wait for the hall to open in other to enter.

David and Nihyuh stood in a corner near the hall, under a larged tree.

There was a sudden emergence of sound and murmurs rose up among the students.

"Isn't that Nie Ming?" one of the youth suddenly spoke up.

"The one currently ranked 5th in the Rankings?"

"Yes, that's right. I heard his sword palm can slice apart anything."

A fierce looking youth walked by as the crowds parted a way out for him. His was a Chinese youth that had practiced the a sword palm Combat technique to almost the perfection state. Utilizing the sword palm, he had severely injured the former student that was in the fifth rank position previously.

And now, he had occupied the position in the ranking. He walked until he directly reached different of the door and then he sat down closing his eyes.

The waves of murmur died down for a bit. David opened his eyes to check, then he closed them back. He was enjoying the breeze and the morning sun.

While Nihyuh remained indifferent, as if the fifth rank position was nothing to him.

There was a sudden racket in the crowds, obviously larger than the previous time.

The cause of the racket was a black male student that seem to originate from Africa. His skin colour was all black and his body huge. He was a very handsome man with a punk haircut.

His pupils were golden and they shimmered like star lights. On his face, two lines drawn horizontally on his right and on his left cheek making them two. They almost looked like tribal marks, but they appeared different.

"Lion king, Sturm!"
