The dinner went well. Vash and his family had booked a table on the third floor of the restaurant.

The restaurant was near Sublime district. Named The Dempsey's Parallax not only was it the First restaurant of the Dempsey family, it was also a crown jewel in the Dempsey restaurant chain across the western continent.

In the main square of Narhik city, the national capital of Moheran. the location and reputation of the restaurant brought VIP guests from all the Moheran, the largest country in the western continent.

Mr. and Mrs. Dempsey were head chefs in this fine establishment.

Vash and his family were sitting on a table for four. The third floor had Golden chandeliers with golden stencils on the red walls, this contributed to the golden interior design theme as intended by the owners.

They made the table and chairs from crimson ivory.

Pink ivory was an expensive wood used to manufacture furniture before new beginnings, but this era saw this tree mutating further into different variants.

Crimson ivory was a variant of pink ivory. The crimson colour of the wood contributed to its name.

The reddish brown colour of the wood made it a must have in the VIP community.

Chewing on the delicious lobster frittata Vash spoke "Father, mother was right to pick the golden stencils on the wall and the ambience remarkable."

Mr. Dempsey smiled while nodding "interior designing is one of your mother's many fortes "

Vash's parents had one of the most successful marriages. Still in love after 23 years of marriage told tales of their love and their mutual understanding.

They met when Mrs. Dempsey started working as a young chef at his father's the restaurant. His tier A taste buds and hers tier A olfactory system took over Narhik like a storm.

His sense of taste and hers of smell resulted in a cooking partnership that dominated the Moheran's cooking community.

"Vash now that your gene sequence will recover. What are your plans?" Mr. Dempsey asked

Vash's father Daniel Dempsey was a large middle-aged man towering at 6.8 feet with a bulky physique. Brown hair with a full brown beard gave him a bear-like appearance, but Vash knew his father had a heart of cotton candy for his family.

"Sister Aurelia told me there is hope of my genes in the Body domain recovering within this month."

"I have the required credits in all my courses except in microbiology. So I am planning to finish my school this month."

"Ok so are you still targeting your sister's university?"

"Yes" Vash replied

"I believe you should join a University training program, the pressure there plus better facilities would help you catch up with your competition,". Mrs. Dempsey suggested.

Next day

Vash received a message from school asking for his physical presence at school.

Vash attends most of his classes through VR because of paralysis, but school mandates him to come to special occasions physically.

Moving his wheelchair to the designated spot, Vash waited for the cab.

The ride to school was monotonous.

The Orion academy was a prestigious middle school. In the education district, which was 45 minutes away from the sublime district.

Vash reached the school gate only to find his friend Noah waiting for him.

"Vash, I knew you would come today"

"You know there is a special guest arriving today," Noah whispered, coming close to Vash's ears.

Walking into the classroom, Vash heard his classmates talking in excitement.

"Have you heard Victor Valch broke the mech record"

"Now he holds two mech reaction speed records, one for peak baseline stage and now for level 2 of genesis stage, he is amazing "

"Yes, he is 13 years old just like us and is already at evolution level 12 ."

"So what! He is the heir of the Valch family, one of the biggest super families in the human alliance. If I have the same amount of resources as him I would be just as great"

"What do you know? Victor has S class O genes and adds S tier speedster gene sequence. He is the complete package deal, every gene in his body including both body and mind domain that is related to speed are in S tier adding Store neural aptitude up he is the Prince of mechs and you are comparing yourself to him ? "

"They created him, Valch family created him in a lab so understandably he is good, if they had created me like that I would be as good as him."

"Those are rumors man won't believe them."

"Don't waste your time on him Akash we all know he is jealous of Victor "

"40 basic commands in 1 second the previous record was of only 38 commands he beat that with whole 2 commands, what a man "

"Yes, he is my prince, if I Can go on a date with him I could die in peace," a girl meekly whispered

"He is the trendsetter of our generation bound to break records. All of us would live in his shadow"

Victor Valch is a media superstar. He is the most popular kid of his generation. His supreme gene sequence made him one of the most talented in Vash's generation.

"Its 7.58 am teacher Mark will come soon," Noah spoke coming forward before the teacher's desk.

"Vash you also came to class today, well" Teacher Mark spoke, noticing Vash sitting on his desk.

"Everyone, today an influential figure within our star region will visit our academy"

"So all of you should carefully listen to the lecture."

"Many of you would work for Gene medicine based companies in the future, this and the importance of Gene meds in evolution levels make this lecture very important

"Pay full attention and remember to act in discipline. A man of that stature needs your respect at the very least."

"Now let's begin our class"

"Ader as you are confident enough to even challenge Victor Valch the class will begin with you answering the first five questions from yesterday's homework. "

"Vash, Teacher Mark is a fan of Victor Valch. Ader sure is unlucky today," Noah whispered.
