Vash woke amidst the HSGA ejection process.
He knew two days have passed since he entered HSGA for examination.
He felt a combination of nervousness and excitement. In a few moments, Aurelia would notify him of the result from HSGA examination.
The results could swing both ways. The pleasant news would lead to future filled with immense potential.
The bad new could be about any of bad outcomes due to the mutation. But Vash knew even those scenarios would be better than one a month before.
So he was prepared for both.
Vash did not hunger for power. What he desired was freedom.
Freedom to walk on his own path. To be free from helplessness ever again .
Humans are helpless against the laws of nature.
Only By reaching the apex in human evolution (level 100), could he transform into something new.
Something much greater then he is now, one that would make him capable of understanding the mysteries of the higher dimensions. Only this greatness could bring him out of the abyss called helplessness.
As he got up, Vash found himself in the familiar white room.
"This would be the last one," Vash thought to himself.
As he turned towards the doorway. He saw Aurelia standing with a smile on her face.
' So?' he inquired
"Vash, I was right. You have achieved an all-star gene sequence with a rating of 72-star points."
"Good" Vash nodded, he had already predicted the outcomes and he was prepared for both the best and the worst. Now, what remained was to act.
"Cheer up Vash. Not everyone have the prestigious all-star gene sequence and yours have same star points rating and to sweeten the pie the ratings are in tier A. You have now ascended to a heaven defying genius."
" I am happy sister Aurelia. It will just take me few days to come in terms with all this. I came prepared for both outcomes. But acceptance now that will take time". Vash spoke solemnly.
" I have a lot of work to do sister Aurelia. I would have to work on my body my body stats are abysmal compare to their potential at my level, apply for a prestigious high school, and then join the big 7. Now as on All- star I have a chance of entering those 7.
"Vash admission to those seven universities is a good ambition. Only by studying in the big 7 could you ever.
" But, Vash I believe you should not mention your gene sequence as All-star to anyone".
" Why? Wouldn't mention All-star give me better treatment and better opportunities? "
" Yes, but the danger out ways the advantages " Aurelia answered.
" All-star at A tier is very, very rare. Rare doesn't even justify it. The all-star gene sequence is as rare as S tier gene sequence with star points higher than 95 points."
" Moreover all the known cases of All-star has been for tier B and below. "
During these 27 days, I have combed through both the internet and ultra net. But I wasn't able to find anyone who has All-star at tier A."
" Having a whole star in body and intelligence and neural aptitude at tier A would be the best arrangement for your narrative."
" This Arrangement will present you as a genius. And the other categories in the mental domain are easy to hide. "
" Your gene sequence before mutation leaned towards body domain, so this would be easier to digest. "
This was a factor Vash had never even thought of sometimes being too exceptional can lead to a premature demise. The whole star in the body domain is as good as a high S tier gene sequence. Also, he could pursue researched work because of Intelligence at tier A. He could even riot mechs.
Also, Aurelia was right if he goes with the whole star in mind domain. His attributes in the body domain would be difficult to hide.
" But sister Aurelia HSGA already have data on my gene sequence. "
" Don't worry this HSGA machine is special, they do not connect it to the Hedron Inc's network. As for gene the sequence certification from HSGA, drink this "
Aurelia said while handing Vash a vial filled with blue liquid.
" This is ?" Vash hesitated.
"This is an anti agent used to suppress gene sequence temporarily to cheat HSGA."
" but would this not render HSGA ineffective ?"
" No, it can only cheat HSGA by lowering the attribute shown. cheating HSGA to show higher tier is next to impossible. HSGA certification matters because cheating to show higher tiers is impossible and to show a lower tier is a fool's errand without benefit and those who slip by are very secretive. Now hurry drink it we will do another test right now."
Vash first informed his parents about another test, mentioning the first test was inconclusive. Then on his way to another room. He drank the blue liquid. It was tasteless but smelled like honey.
As he entered the room Vash saw a large version of HSGA he was familiar with while the precious on was sleek and shaped like an MRI.
This one was quadruple the size. A rectangular box with a connected table to lay on .
" Ok let's start " Aurelia said
As soon as Vash on the table . The table injected anesthesia into his body . Table then moved into the rectangular box completely sealing the box.
Vash woke up In a compact room with a single bed and an enormous window. It was still afternoon according to the sun in the sky. Aurelia was sitting on a chair engaged with her own device.
" How long has it been? " Vash asked.
" One day that one works fast. Here is your gene sequence certificate ." Aurelia answered, transferring the digital copy to his device.
" Vash remember to tell no one about ALL-star not even to your parents. Secrets should be known to as few as possible " Aurelia said.
Vash disagreed with Aurelia on this, his secret would be safe with his parents but that's his matter so he didn't agree back.
Within twenty minutes, Vash left the Smith labs. He decided to walk home .
