Chapter 23 - Unexpected troubles

Switching his attention back to the blood sample he had collected, Jaus took a bit of it and placed it under a special device of his.

"Now, let's see what we have here," he said and pressed his eyes against a part of the large device that looks quite like the viewing lens of a microscope.

" Ohhh, I expected this. Melinda as well attained changes down to the molecular level"

" I wonder though, what will happen if I inject his blood into that of others? I have to try that and see for myself"

" His body has stabilized the power of the cells so it shouldn't pose as much problem as directly injecting their bodily fluid"

" Why didn't we think of this with Melinda? Were we that stressed to meet schedule?"

Done with his mutters, he stood up and went to check on John.

" I should wait some more before I proceed"

The night had passed and it was the dawn of a new day, a young man opened his eyes and curiously turned his head about to view where he was.

"What happened?" Just as he said this, he happened to spot Jaus that was asleep laying his face on a desk...

" What's this? My vision?" he muttered noticing that his field of vision has greatly improved like he could see things from all angles and just as he strained them expecting the feeling to wear off, he suddenly spotted a group of people walking along the third passage of the floor.

He was taken aback by this and he brought his hand to scratch his eyes.

This didn't solve the problem however, he chose to relax, he squeezed his eyes and focused his range of vision on Jaus that was asleep.

" What!" he shouted, the sight had shocked him and accidentally, he fell off the elevated board.

This stirred Jaus up, he opened his eyes only to find John lying on the floor with a perplexed look.

" Whoa! Your eyes... They are...."

" Yes something is definitely strange with them, I can see things I normally can't" John replied.

" They are bright green!"

"What?!"

" They are green?" John questioned.

" What's strange with them now?" Jaus asked.

" I can't..... arghhhh!"

" What's wrong?" Jaus suddenly stood up, surprised by John's reaction, and went close to him.

" Everything suddenly sounds a lot louder, like hundreds of voices making way into my eardrums"

" Relax, relax," he said gently.

" Argghh! My head.... make the voices stop! John cried.

" What are you talking about?" Jaus asked, looking quite perplexed now, he didn't get this reaction from Melinda.

" The voices...."

" Relax and breathe slowly John"

" That's it! the training room is soundproof! Let's move there"

Immediately, he heard this, every bit of energy he had was directed to getting there as soon as possible. He leaped hoping to reach there when the sound of metal and concrete breaking sounded.

" Hehhhh!!! Who's this dude?!" a person occupying the spot above said with great shock as he saw a young man's head, and chest with his arms tightened around a metallic structure.

" Argghh, too loud!" John screamed, instinctively bringing his arms to his ears to cover them.

" What?!" the personnel screamed as he witnessed John casually breaking through the metallic floor and concrete that was holding him taking him back down.

" Get in!" Jaus shouted, he opened to door to the room and instructed Jaus to get in.

Seeing this golden opportunity before him, John swiftly covered the distance and got in under a second.

" Well that was fast," Jaus said in amazement.

" Sorry about the hole!" he shouted

He saw John laying on his back with a look of relief on his face.

" I'll talk as softly as possible" Jaus said lightly. John picked this and nodded in agreement.

" I think I understand the changes occurring in your body now but I'll love to hear them from your mouth"

The sight of Jaus's internal organs disgusted John but steeled his stomach and mind as he spoke.

" I can see your innards," he said scrunching his face.

" You can see through my skin and muscles? Whoa! Whoa!"

" Stop that" John said.

" Sorry"

" Also, I can hear things from multiple sources simultaneously, voices that should be far from my hearing range too"

" This is astounding," Jaus said with a broad smile.

" The speed you displayed earlier and that strength, I'll need to test you properly but I'm confident that you are at least at Melinda's level.

" Our efforts paid off John," he said brimming with excitement and joy.

" You mean I can kill those monsters now?" John asked with a weird smirk on his face.

" I don't know until we try, we took massive sacrifices just to kill very few of them."

"I know this though, we wouldn't stop fighting until we win"

" Yeah!" John replied.
