Renjiro felt someone fiercely shaking him and when he opened his eyes he saw a scruffy face staring at him and he almost jumped in fright but he had to control himself. When he got a better view of the face he saw that it was Finnegan.
''what is it now?'' renjiro groaned in frustration.
''your mother asked us to come grab you'' Finnegan said
''us???'' renjiro said and looked around Finnegan, he saw elysandra sitting on the couch in his room. When she saw him staring at her she pushed her glasses up her nose and smiled at him.
''hi zephyrus, hurry so we can get this done, finnegan I'm off make sure he comes to the lab'' she said and walked away
''I am sure there's nothing else you need to do, let's go'' Finnegan said and pulled him by the arm
Renjiro let Finnegan lead him by the arm through the castle, since he came to this world this was the first time he was going to the lab, when his mother saw that he had no potential she banned everyone from bringing him into the lab or running tests on him.
Renjiro went down a flight of stairs that led to a long corridor that seemed to have no end at first, they eventually came to what seemed to be the end of the corridor, Finnegan stepped in front of him and put forth his palm and in a flashy display a small part of the wall reshaped into a panel with a display on it, Finnegan inputted a password and let it do a full body scan on him,
There was a ding and ripples appeared on the wall and a dark path opened up in front of them, and they stepped into it, as soon as they stepped into it, a blue light appeared above their heads and followed them as they went, from what renjiro knew the laboratory was underground, the walls around them were rocky and rough, renjiro dragged his fingers through them as they walked to the laboratory, a large metal door stood in front of them, there was a screen on the door that scanned Finnegan again and opened up letting them in.
As they went through the doors several nozzles popped out and sprayed them with gases, prompting renjiro to cough heavily, when he opened up his eyes everything looked blindingly white, he shielded his eyes immediately and crashed into a trolley, scattering the contents on the floor.
The whole place was lit up there were lights on the floor and walls, he heard squeals of delight and he knew it was caelia that was running over, she attacked him as soon as she saw him, with her massive bosoms pressing on his face.
''my sweet boy! Did you have a nice sleep'' she said heartily
Renjiro felt good but had to feign the act of struggling, to his utmost dismay he finally managed to wiggle out of her embrace and contorted his face in annoyance.
''let's get this over with, I have school tomorrow'' he said folding his arms on his chest
''you don't have to look so sad, it will be over in a minute'' caelia said and walked away
Finnegan walked over to renjiro handing him a light blue gown. ''put this on so we can begin''.
''here?'' renjiro asked
''yes here, it's not like everyone here hasn't seen you naked at some point''
Renjiro wasn't happy with this development but he had no option than to go along with it, he took off his clothes quickly and put on the gown he was given, Finnegan looked at him smugly as he led him towards a cylindrical machine, he remembered this machine the last time it was in it, the sensation felt like a thousand needles were poking into his skin.
He cringed as the machine opened up and he climbed into it, the material he lay on was soft, he closed his eyes and the machine glowed with a red light, and the painful sensations began.
Caelia stood in front of a holographic screen staring at the data that was being displayed intensely, her face contorted in confusion, last time they checked his energy pathways were shriveled and it didn't look like there was any hope of him being able to channel anytime in the future but now, not only were his pathways open it also looked very promising, with enough effort she was sure that he would might become a superstar in record time, but she didn't want to get her hopes up, knowing her son's personality she knew it would be very difficult to get him to the level of a professional elite.
The lights in the cylindrical machine dimmed and renjiro stepped out of it, the cold air of the laboratory caressing his butt causing him to reach out and try to cover his butt.
''is there anything else I need to do, or can I change out of this gown, I feel very uncomfortable in it'' renjiro said and began struggling with the gown.
''if you are not comfortable with it, you can take it off all that is left for us to do right now is to take your blood sample and you are free to go'' caelia said happily, the mere fact that renjiro could now channel energy gave her great joy.
There were a number of lab techies in white coats running around, carrying around different equipment. Renjiro lay on a bed waiting for whoever it was that was coming to take his blood, he saw elysandra walk towards him with a metallic tray, she sat on the chair close to him and looked at him with a big smile.
''stretch out your arms'' she instructed
Renjiro complied and gave her his arm, she took it and placed an object on his forearm, the object expanded and wrapped around his arm, and he felt a sharp pain shoot up his arm eliciting a gasp from him.
The object reverted back to its previous size and elysandra took it and dropped it back into the tray she came with, she handed him a small vial with a greyish liquid and instructed him to drink it before walking away.
