Chapter 9 - Lesson

Drip was woken up by his watch indicating that he was 25min late for class standing up he climbed up the bed to check up on leo but he wasn't there.
he's probably gone to class without me. what a weird kid...
putting on his uniform he didn't bother to bathe, as he hurriedly brushed his tooth and barged out of the room, hitting a wall opposite him.
arghh.. i have to be careful am above a normal human now. he straightnened his posture as he ran to his class, he was lost for words because, he couldn't even locate his class there were just so many classes.
this is going to take a while...
ahh! C3, no B2, A3 no yes F1.
about entering the class, he was stopped by a bulky looking man with, black jet razor cut hair looked to be in his early 30's about 6ft...
sense...

[hp: 100/100]
[race: human]
[mana: 200/200]
Are you a student of class F1? the voice was deep and dominant..
yes... drip replied casually
i see you lack the manners newbie so how about 10 meters across the Field...
what but-
really then make that 20 for also coming an hour late to class on your first day.
now go!
drip was speechless as he was about leaving he sensed leo sitting at far end of the class apparently giving him a thumbs up with a you can do this and sorry for not waking you up face as he left the class.
i can't believe am being punished on the first day of class...
he headed out to the huge field beside the academy, as it was covered with green grass and a huge stadium, was beside the track.
this track must be at least a 100 meters long and 50 meters wide.
apparently he could see some other students running lapses too.
guess i wasn't the only one..
[Side quests]

come on 1 meters ..
2..
3..
4, 5,
[You have successfully completed quest run 5 meters +10 exp acquired]
[You have successfully completed quest strengthen your body by work out +20 exp]. he didn't have time for that as his whole muscles were bulging from the run.
8.. it felt as if his tissues where going to explode as his speed reduced his breathing unbearable.
i can't give up now i have to push myself more. he continued running as he approached the 10th meter, his tissues couldn't take it anymore as his joints caved in, with him collapsing on the field unable to move eventually passing out from the pains.
it was about 2 hours when PT jack finished lecture and class was dismissed but he stopped a certain student.
leo i need you to do something important for me... pt Jack said with a serious face.
me... but am the weakest amongst all the other kids here.
that's why your perfect for the job.he then told leo what to do as he headed towards the field area.
arriving there, pt Jack casually strolled to the 10th meter only to find drip passed out on the ground.
feeling his pulse he saw he was ok and something else...
how is he recovering with this weak body, at a fast rate without treatment whatsoever...
he looked at drip lying there with different thoughts, in his mind as he was interrupted by a certain voice.
am back with the bucket of ice water sir. leo said panting not realising his passed out friend.
good drop it here leo. as he approached pt Jack he noticed someone lying on the floor.
who's on the floor pt Jack. he asked already inching closer with a curious look on his face.
it's drip! he must've passed out due to the fact he pushed himself beyond his limit. he didn't wait for leo to reply as he carried the bucket and emptied its content on drip.
the former eyes abruptly opened up as he coughed mouthful of waters out his mouth.
finally you're awake. sneered pt Jack
drip! leo hurriedly rushed to help him stand up as he could barely walk.
you didn't reach 20 meters. said pt Jack in a deep voice staring at drip.
i-i tried but my body gave up. he said in a weak voice.
that's the what the whole lesson is about pushing yourself beyond your limits. he said with a satisfied smile.
l-lesson?
yes now that's enough for today it's up to you to continue or not. with that he started walking away.
i have this feeling about this boy i just can't explain...
what a complicated man. said leo as he helped drip back to the room.
argh! it hurts.
sorry drip... but what were you thinking running 10 laps, you're just not fit for that.
i know leo don't bother about me I'll be fine. he said with a weak smile.
what did you learn in class?
oh nothing you should be worried be worried about...
ok then...
grrrr, am starving
well break was an hour ago...
what! what am i going to eat?
you can go get some food from the school canteen.
but i don't have any money on me.
it's through your watch, the military give us 50 credits daily to buy food stuffs and other thing we may need.
I'll go get some food for you drip since your not 100%...
wait leo can you get some ice raw meat and cooked one. I'll pay you back.
why would you want ice raw meat?
for my legs and hands, please...
ok I'll try. as he shut the door and left.
[consume meat +50 exp]
[feed on fresh blood +30 exp]
he kept on staring at the screen thinking back when he ate that hare in the forest that feeling of meat and fresh blood was so good.
he was so caught up in the moment he didn't know when leo returned home .
hey drip drip.
regaining himself he saw leo with a white shopping bag with the military symbol on it .
your back...
yeah I've been back for a while but you were ehhm drooling over something?
what drool. that's when he felt the liquid on his body, he was so caught up on the moment he tasted blood and meat he started drooling.
i really am a parasite...
ha! it must because of the meat right?
yeah definitely, was drooling over such sweet meat.
come take... you need to eat to recover your energy. I'll be sleeping early today drip goodnight. as he climbed on the upper bed.
hmmm, that was weird...
i wonder what's up with Leo?drip noticed something strange with Leo when he handed him the food as the look in his eyes were that of worry.
I'll have to ask him tomorrow...
guess it's just me and this meat then. as he bit on a piece of cooked meat.
[You have gained +25 exp for consuming meat]
hmm, just 25... i guess it considers raw meat more adequate.
[You have gained +25 exp for consuming meat]
[Quest completed consume meat]
he wiped his mouth as he looked at the raw meat next, as something was drawing him nearer to it as he chomped on it.

looking at his tab mainly the skills section he found out there was a skill he hadn't used.
Gaze... it says here I'll be able to stun a specie and control it, kinda like mind control...
i wonder if it works on beasts as well.
maybe i should try it on leo? he shook his head as he dismissed the idea of making Leo his test subject.
ah leo's a good guy he just doesn't have anyone to protect him, kinda like me. he thought in his heart the first time he met leo.
i-I've never been like this with anyone except lola...
she's been with me since i was little, i wonder where and how she is. he thought of how trouble he'd caused her.
now that am alone i can finally test out a few things...
