Virus began to focus as her brother had explained, she tried but her mind kept wandering until four hours later she began to get a hang of what her teacher was explaining.
As Virus became focused she didn't notice how her state had changed. Virus's state kept changing from a clueless state to a more profound state within the next three hours. Then something happened, she felt a glow igniting in her. She could feel that something was different about herself.
She began to concentrate more and for an hour Virus waited patently before suddenly something in her broke. Right outside her consciousness, Belor watched his sister as she broke through to the second stage of Chi. In the span of 9 hours Virus had bonded with her body something that takes months Virus had done it in half a day.
Now that she has broken through Belor had finally decided to tell her one of her secrets.
Virus opening her eyes could feel the changes in her body, her senses have been enhanced but not to their peak yet. She turned to face her teacher with the happiest smile he had seen after the incident.
°I did it, Brother! Hehehe I am your best student aren't I?° Virus smiled cheekily
°Yes you are. So, let me..... °
Before Belor could finish his sentence Virus interrupted
°Can't we save the second stage for tomorrow!? I'm fucking hungry!° Virus asked her hunger was more important at the moment
°Virus! No cussing!°Belor scolded before responding to her request °Fine let's get you a full course meal! I'm feeling hungry myself°
°Teacher I have some questions! Can we eat those dwellers!?° Virus asked
°Well not all but there are some that we can eat that nourish our body. Some of those dwellers that can be eaten grant us different nourishment depending on the type they are° Belor explained
°For example, naturally when the dwellers were still normal animals, we had some that we eat and some that we don't. For instance, we used to eat fish, we can still do but not all fish. You know that now dwellers all fight for what is called evolution. While some fishes eat smaller fishes to evolve, some naturally dangerous fishes even eat the bigger fishes just to evolve into some type of powerful dweller°
°Let me use we humans as an example. While we tended to kill fish for food and to restore energy, while also received extra benefits like nutrients that aid in our body improvements. That's how it is for them also especially now° Belor finished his explanation
°OH! Now I get it but does it also mean that it is now possible for some type of fish species to evolve into a mermaid!?° Virus questioned.
°I won't lie, while it hasn't been done yet, or rather while we haven't seen it yet doesn't mean it's not possible. And by chance you get to meet a mermaid before I do, I would like you to do me a favor. Do not attack them, instead make them your allies°
°Why!° Virus asked confused by her brother's sudden request.
°Because..... Your blood flows through their vein° Belor announced
°...°
°Although I did hear of an old Mermaid who was created by our Ancestral mother. Who by the way, was pretty pissed by her changes. Fortunately, she and our ancestor actually became even closer during the apocalypse outbreak°
°Really!? There used to be someone like that!? Do you think she is still alive? What about shark man? Any one of such?° Virus asked excitedly
Belor paused suddenly he had a disbelieving look on his face.
°Seriously!? Shark man! What sort of absurd thinking do you have!?°
°..., It was just a question....° Virus whispered behind her brother's disappearing figure with a shrug
* * *
Virus followed her now quiet brother silently observing his every move while trying to process all the information she had received that night.
Belor led her to the kitchen where the maids were busy making dinner for the siblings. Upon their arrival, Virus watched as whatever they were doing came to a sudden halt. Taking three steps back from their initial position, they bowed.
Virus watched as her brother ignored them while walking further into the kitchen, his destination was the dining room adjoining the kitchen.
Virus bowed with a smile toward the women. That alone was what they needed to get back to work.
Arriving at the dining hall, Virus took her sit to the side directly in front of her Brother.
Once she sat, Virus began to fidget, She felt nervous and uncomfortable with the heavy silence, and wanting to ease the unknown tension, Virus asked a question that had been weighing on her mind for a while now.
°Belor, when will I return back to school?° Her voice quiet scared of her brother's reaction and response
°Till you can at least defend yourself. Right now you can only sense the Chi in you but you can't use it yet° Belor responded staring at his sister's little form
°But I thought I had a breakthrough just moments ago?° Virus asked confused
Belor chuckled °Breakthrough!? No obviously not! You are still at level Zero right now, If you want a Breakthrough, you will need to keep cultivating for a few years°
°Let me tell you something. Do you know the reason why you could get this far in such a short time? That is due to the aid of the Chi tent I made. Naturally, I was meant to assist you in feeling what Chi was. But since I already gave that function to the tent, it made it far easier for you°
°.....° Virus was speechless
Fortunately, her attention drifted towards the sound of wheels. Virus watched as the cooks wheeled in their meal her stomach grumbling at the sight alone.
The head Cook stepped forward. He was slender with a unique physique, his power was for cooking, he had no attack power. He was small and feminine, eyes as green as glow sticks, nose as long as a toothpick, lips as small and pouting. He was old yet looked like he never aged a day. He was known as Hathan Blood.
Hathan began to speak °Your Highnesses, We prepared a special delicacy for you and I named it "The Queen's Resort" You see, the reason it was named so was since your Brother had told me what plans he had for you. While also explaining the fact that you haven't tasted any dweller delicacy°
°The Queen's Resort was made using edible dweller's meat that is mostly meant to increase one's vitality and physique. I hope you enjoy it for this would be your regular meal from today henceforth°
°What!?° Virus exclaimed
°Yes! Now eat up, there is nothing known as sleep for you from now henceforth!° Belor smiled evilly
