Multi-Gene

A few minutes later, the blurry earth's surface began to clear up and David could see the ruins the city had been transformed into.

It was the smell which engulfed him at first and he almost felt like puking. It was a wretched smell of decayed blood and broken buildings.

From the air above, David couldn't see the whole map but from his point of view, all he could perceive was trees, vines and a few weather worn and destroyed buildings surrounded by massive amount of grasses and weeds.

The roof of the buildings he could see had Caved in, weighed down by vines and other unknown folliages.

After about 20 minutes, the turbo thrusters suddenly rumbled as it changed its general direction which he and other students had been moving towards.

Previously, they were like a flock of birds, flying towards a certain direction but David's pod change of direction could clearly be seen by most of the students.

As if that was a green light, a few other student's pod began to separate from the park and they flew in an enitely different directions.

Although the safe zone was safe and all, it wasn't in David's character to stay in hiding.

Notwithstanding, the safe zones had several basic amenities, equipments and was a low teir loot zone, they were severely limited.

If he landed on the safe zone, he would need to fight for resources with the other students.

David frowned at the thought. Fighting was fine by him but battling like a maniac with his peers for a low level equipment was just stupid to him.

There were several high loot zones in the map, he wouldn't waste his time battling for a low level gadget when there was a mid level or high level gadget sitting around the corner.

After 3 minutes, David scanned his surrounding sky around him and saw that there seven figures Zooming in the same direction as he was, directly behind him

His eyebrow rose when he saw this. Scrutinizing their faces, David couldn't recognise any of them but he was sure that they were all male students.

After his scrutiny, his eyes turned indifferent as he instantly retreated gaze. He had seemingly lost intreast in them entirely.

As he was getting closer to the wet and muddy floor, David eyes lit up in joy as he saw what was on the ground, around the area he had calculated he would drop.

"I knew I was right in my decision." David smiled

It seems as though luck was on his side. The low level gadgets was directly a few metres away from his drop location.

Although he couldn't determine the amounts of the gadgets on the ground, it didn't matter to David, he was going to going to take the all.

If it was only one, then fine. If it was two, he was going to take two. If it was three, he would still take the whole three and if it was 10 that was there, there was no need to think, be would take the whole thing, not leaving a single thing for any one.

He smirked at his good luck.

Suddenly, he heard a few voices laughing out.

"Haha. My luck is unexpectedly so good today. A Gadget on my drop site, what luck." Someone let out a peal of laughter as it reverberated through the air. It was obvious Bronx had focused his blood circulation in his lungs and had hardened the muscles significantly, momentarily granting him the ability to shout as loud as he wished.

Someone immediately let out a cold snort that resonated like thunder in sky and they said with a chilling tone. "if anyone dares to touch my things, they are asking to die." Icarus said in a threatening tone, his tone not a single pitch lower than Bronxs'

"I think you guys should all calm down, we can setlle the matter more amicably but first, we need to touchdown, after which we can discuss things." Xavier said as he tried to pacify things and it seemed to work as no one else said anything.

David gave them a sidelong glance and he didn't mind them anymore. He was ahead of them and it was apparent that he would be the first to get there.

What was surprising was that neither did Xavier, Bronx, icarus nor the other four people said anything about him. It was as if they had intentionally disregarded him almost as though he wasn't worth their time nor concern.

David didn't mind it though. He actually liked the fact that they had neglected him. It was to his advantage, so why would he attempt to stop them. His smile grew a notch wider.

Suddenly the Turbo thruster's output slowed down considerably as its altitude began to decrease, also the few dead trees in the surroundings. Just 10 meters away to touchdown, the voice of his AI spoke again.

"Destination reached, Activating self Eject code. Self Eject code activated, please be prepared."

This time, David had learned from his mistakes. He didn't bother himself pondering the words his AI had spouted, he immediately circulated his blood, strengthening every part of his body.

There was a sudden rumbled and David felt like someone had given him a solid kick in his butt. The force was powerful as his figure immediately catapulted to the ground. If it weren't for the fact that he had been prepared, the experience would be quite painful for him.

Still in the air, David calmly twisted his body as he used the momentum to land gracefully on utge ground but, a few mud and dirt splashed in his black trousers, staining them to Ash.

David almost shouted out in fury. It was his favorite pant because it had lots of pockets in them. Which he had counted and it was about 25 in counting. 10 on the left leg whuke then on the right leg with 5 hidden on the interior part of the pants.

Although he was slightly frustrated about the matter, he swiftly threw that to the back of his mind as he remembered there was something important of his he had to get.

The a students were still a few meters away from David's position and two unexpectedly self ejected like that while the other five Emergency Pod passed over David's head.

Although they ought to have dropped together with David, they didn't select the exact spot David had chosen as his drop spot.

But the position wasn't exactly far off from David's location.

David moved swiftly towards the direction of the in which the Gadgets were located.

Upon reaching there, David immediately pulled the box lid open but he failed, it was as thought it had been locked tightly.

"Uh? What nonsense is this? If you want to give us something, why put a lock on it." david grumbled to himself but while he was doing that, he immediately took his left and and place it on top of the Box.

Shua!

David felt a type of vibration on his arm, as it was being scanned by the box.

A few seconds later, the box let out a peal of air and with the sound of a treasure box being opened. David gleefully opened up the box.

He saw two pieces of equipments within. As he was about to stretch out his hands to take them, he suddenly felt the wind behind him stir slightly and earth vibrating softly.

His eyes flashed and without looking back, he revolved his blood slighyly and he sent a fist hurling backwards. The fist was swift, fast and silent but was infact more fierce and deadly.

As if he had eyes had the back,

Bang!

His fist instantly connected with another person's fist with a bang that had been silently approaching his back. If it weren't for the fact that the wind was disturbed, someone else might not be aware of such attack untul it was too late.

David's body trembled slightly and that was all, but his attackers couldnt help taking a few steps backwards but he used the momentum to retreat speedily and his expression darkened.

He had outright used an ambushing combat technique but David was able to counter it with his an ordinary fist, no technique involved, he knew he had met an extremely troublesome opponent this time.

That person was unexpectedly Xaviar, the one that had acted like a gentleman previously and had tried to mediate between them. He had unexpectedly been the first person amongst the seven people to have gotten there.

David removed his stretched hands from the box to see the person disturbing him from his moments.

"Do you need something from me?" David asked puzzledly as he glanced at the handsome youth. He looked like a normal gentleman and David wouldn't expect that he was the type to sneak an attack on him.

Well, at this point in time, David wouldn't jugde a book by its cover anymore nor would he call a spade a spade. No students in the institute was really that kindhearted even he could feel himself changing.. But it was a change he liked.
