Physiological Research facility center, inside room number 23,
A fifteen year old spectacled boy sat at a small white bed in apprehension.
Just a few steps away from him, a certain brown haired boy was calmly sitting on another small bed similar to the one one he was sitting on.
The regular student Leon, was sitting on the bed while calmly whistling a melody as he stared at the rooftop.
Besides these two boys there were also other people inside.
Near Zack, there was a female nurse with long dark brown hair, clad in a dark medical uniform accompanied with a long lab coat. At the right side of this woman there was a red headed petite nurse also dressed in the same dark medical uniform, these two were busy near Zack, sorting out medicine on the wooden shelf located not far away from Zack's position.
Then at Leon's bedside there was one burly male nurse with short dark hair and small dark eyes and a blonde haired female with an average sized body that wouldn't pass of as neither thin or thick.
These two nurses were busy organizing some syringes and some bottles of medicines, seemingly preparing to conduct the genetic enhancement process.
Zack apprehensive and scared, watched attentively every move that these medical personnel were performing.
While he was observing them, he would sometimes sneak glances at Leon, in hopes of seeing a signal from the other party or at least receive a sign from the brown haired awakened.
Sadly to his dismay, Leon kept staring at the ceiling with a carefree attitude while whistling a strange melody as if there was nothing to worry about, this indirectly caused Zack to be more apprehensive.
One of the two female nurses near Zack, the one with the long brown hair suddenly moved towards him, nearly frightening the tense Zack in the process.
The nurse approached Zack, while holding a thick needle injection in her hand.
Upon seeing the injecting needle, Zack suddenly tensed at this moment.
Seeing his reaction, the nurse released a soft chuckle and reassured him that this was a painless procedure and he didnt have to worry about anything.
The statement of reassurance didn't seem to produce the effect that the nurse was striving for, instead it seemed to produced the opposite effect on the dark haired boy, seemingly terrifying him in the process.
The nurse walked slowly towards Zack while holding the syringe in her left hand.
At the same time, the burly nurse on Leon's side was also making a move.
The nurse had at some point taken a large transparent container that was filled with dark squirming liquid.
The female blonde haired nurse who was assisting him, had at some point in time, approached the relaxed Leon with a syringe in her hand.
Zack watched in trepidation as the nurse inched closer to him and just when she was about to inject the needle, Leon who had been whistling a melody with a carefree expression suddenly shifted his demeanor.
A serious and intimidating expression suddenly appeared on the youthful boy, startling nearly all the nurses inside.
This cause both the brown haired female nurse and the burly male one to momentarily halt their approach.
Suddenly at this moment the carefree and somewhat serious voice of Leon suddenly sounded,
"Baby doll, reveal yourself"
Everyone present in the room, including Zack were momentarily stunned when they heard those words.
One thought was instantly circling in their minds,
"Who is baby doll?
Fortunately they didn't have to ponder over this for too long.
A moment later from the shadowed place of the room, a dark mist suddenly appeared, coalescing into a dark hooded short figure.
Once this figure appeared, all the nurses inside were suddenly tense and they knew that something was off.
Before they could try and take an immediate action, something startling suddenly unfolded upon them.
All of the four nurses inside out of nowhere suddenly fell to the ground contorting in a eerie manner.
After a few minutes of writhing they soon turn emotionlessly.
Leon calmly alighted from the bed and moved towards Zack.
Along the way he gave a short moment to the hooded girl.
Once he reached Zack, who was still reeling on the shock of how things turned out to.
At this moment the young Mason suddenly asked,
"Are they dead ?
Leon shook his head and sighed emotionally,
"Unfortunately no, we have to keep them alive to deter suspicion from the Word United Governments' group outside"
Once Zack heard those words he was reminded once again that this young boy was a criminal and that he had also joined into their ranks.
Admist and oblivious to Zack's thoughts, Leon resumed,
"Anyways we need come up with a decision, while the medical staff is still unconscious.
Right now I have two choices that you can go through with, the first choice is that I can use my abilities to influence your genetic procedure, inducing for the luckiest possible outcome to happen.
This will only work if we use a low grade genetic potion, possibly either grade F or grade E. If you choose this option l will tell you this you enhancement will be really low possibly emerging with slight physical advancement that is higher than the physic of an average normal human by a low margin"
The genetic enhancement process was categorized into six grades, grade A,B,C,D,E to F, with A being the highest grade and F being the lowest.
The higher the grade the potion had, the lower the chances of success it possessed.
"The second option is that we don't go through with the enhancement process and we pretend like you are already any enhanced human, we deter suspicion from the people by using handmade mystical items to make you look like an evolved human, ofcourse this plan has the highest risk of being caught"
After being told of the two choices, Zack didn't linger to long on the decision.
"l choose the second option"
Although Leon had reassured him that he would influence the procedure to produce the luckiest outcame, Zack was still skeptical of his chances of surviving even by using the lowest graded potion.
Leon did linger to long, once he saw that Zack had made up his mind, he stretched out his hand towards the hooded girl.
A dark mist suddenly sprouted from the girl's robes, and coalesced into a brown tool bag.
Leon reached for the bag and retrieved to items from it.
These items consisted of dark plain looking gloves and a transparent bottle, containing red liquid.
After retrieving the items, Leon began to explain,
"These two items here are mystical items. The black gloves are called the forgotten touch and possess the ability of temporarily stealing the strength of another person and emplacing it on the wearer. This ability can be used once a week and the time period of the enhancement is random and can't be measured.
Then this bottle of liquid is called the provider's blood. If you drink the liquid inside you will be granted a momentarily boost in physical strength for period of thirty minutes. You only have to take a sip of the liquid for it to produce its effect and it can only be used once per twenty four hours.
Failure to stick with these rules will lead you to dangerous consequences, do you understand?
Zack nodded, clearly showing that he understood what he was being told.
After that Leon then said,
"Okay its best that you drink the provider's blood right now and don the gloves latter when reach the military academy"
Zack had almost forgotten about the military academy. The government had clearly stated that once one survived the genetic enhancement procedure they will then be allocated to a military academy, this was mandatory for everyone who was below thirty years old.
After recalling this information, Zack then pointed at the four nurses on the ground and asked,
"What are you going to do with them?
Leon replied in a casual manner. He simply shrugged his shoulders and said,
"Well what else can we do other than nothing"
This question left Zack puzzled.
Seeing his reaction Leon suddenly smiled and said,
"Just watch and see"
Before Zack could even ask another question, the messy brown haired boy, abruptly returned to his bed.
At the same time the four nurses who were laying unconscious on the cold floor started to show signs of waking up.
The hooded short figure who hadn't uttered a word ever since her arrival, suddenly bursted into wisp dark smoke and vanished into thin air, leaving no trace of her ever being in the room.
A moment the four nurses finally regained conscious, and once they were awake they collected all their tools and left the room without uttering a word.
Zack hadn't expected them to act like that, he actually thought that once theses four nurses were concious they would suddenly panic and call the artificial soldiers outside, he never expected them to leave as if nothing happened before as if they had already performed the genetic enhancement process.
While Zack was wondering what just happened, he suddenly saw the door being opened and a middle aged blonde haired man clad in a green military uniform with two star bedges on his shoulders suddenly stepped inside.
Once the man was inside, he scanned the room for a minute and said all of a sudden.
"Okay newbies, l am captain Gin of the transport department and I will be overseeing your transportation to your military academy"
