It was a bit past 3 am in the midnight when David came to. He groaned miserably as he tried prop himself up with his hands but was unable to do so.
Extreme pain shot through his very bones. At this moment, he felt as if his body was entirely made out of jelly. He felt as though he had undergone the most vigorous training that existed.
His arms were awfully sore, the muscles in his arms were even twitching by themselves, barely listening to his @ stand up.
From anothers' point of view, David's condition was quite terrible. His body contained several bloody tears and lacerations because of the fragile outer veins, meridians and blood vessels rupturing, which was caused by the inappropriate usage and the abuse they had gone through.
In simple terms, it was because he had used a taboo technique. A technique meant solely for the lower limbs, he had utilized it using his upper body which caused some of his blood vessels to rupture by the shear amount of velocity, speed and power his blood had been circulating at. It was a miracle his major blood vessel wasn't badly damaged.
David could be said to have luckily survived a disaster. What he had done was unprecedented and nothing short of a miracle. Although he wasn't the first desperate person in the institute to think and use idea of using a Leg technique for the his arms, he was the only one that had survive after the initial exponential increase in strength and the burst in power.
Others before him had died shortly after their battles due to excessive blood loss, internal bleeding and the rupturing of several major Veins that pumps blood to the heart. Those could be healed In a few minutes if the institute got involved but despite that, the victims still dies, due to the fact that they lost control as the beastly characteristics would choose that moment to erupt.
The main reason David survived was simply because of his talent - Absolute Body control. The most amazing ability any powerful being would desperately wish for.
As a result, the repercussions of using a technique incorrectly was mostly negated but still, there were still some negative effects that had occurred in his body.
But that wasn't enough to cause that much bloody tears on his body. One wouldn't know how extraordinary one was unless when compared to others.
He was literally almost a bloody mess right now. Looking at the time, he was unconscious for almost 8 hours.
"Perform a full body scan." David's dry voice rang out as he.decisively spoke with the AI.
"Accurate full body scan will cost 100 Gyno points. Do you wish to continue?" the cybernetic voice replied.
Dav's expression changed slightly. 100 Gyno points was no small amount to him or any new students of the institute but still, he had to know the full extent of his injuries to dind the means of curing them fully without leaving some out.
In the institute, it was absolutely free and it costs nothing to make a full body scan at the Institute's Infirmary but, the result of the scan would be straight up sent to the institute and the secret he himself wasn't sure he had would surely be exposed to the institute–His absolutely body control.
The institute won't miss such a fine specimen and would spare no efforts at obtaining him.
He wouldn't even be able to resist and his disappearance in the institute wouldn't even cause the slightest ripple in the hegemony called the Institute.
Making the AI perform a full body scan on him would save time and effort and at the same time, the result of the full body scan would be absolutely confidential unless he wished to release it to the institute he would be rewarded with a few Gyno Points though.
Dav replied positively. In that brief moment, a few blurry rays of lights that were like lasers swept through his body. Dav felt tiny bits of electric current spread through his entire body. He shivered slightly in pleasure, the feeling was akin to been high on drugs or on the peak of a climax.
Almost as if he was high on estasy, it was a stark contrast with the pain and soreness he had been feeling a brief moment ago, he couldn't hold it in as a slight moan escaped his lips.
"Body scan complete. Do you wish to see the results now?" the robotic voice broke his moment as the initial euphoria faded. Sighing slightly, "Yes, show me. " he replied.
Some bits of energy had filled his body due to the initial body scan.
"Interruption in blood circulation and internal bleeding is the main cause of unconsciousness. Other diagnosis includes,
Internal tremor,
Essential tremor,
Functional impairment of the neurons,
Central nervous system disorders,
Damaged reticular formations,
Tachycardia,
Acrotism,
Cerebral concussion,
Minor blood vessels laceration,
Tiny bone fracture,
Whiplash
Knee trauma .
"Just stop!" Dav shook his head because he was getting increasingly dizzy by the minute. What was this all about? The only few things he understood was the first few sentences, the rest was just alien language to him.
"Just give me the rough estimate of my condition." David interrupted and started moving forwards.
In just a few moments, the AI reply came in "Scan revealed that user has Multiple bone fractures, internal bleeding, essential tremor of the organs, interruption of the blood circulation, several veins burst, muscles straining, blood loss, etc.
The most injury which seemed severe was the overworking of the hearts which had almost led to a heart attack and organ collapse caused by performing an higher grade combat technique or by abusing the limits of a combat technique." The robotic voice rang out in his head.
David took some time to ponder. He was truly lucky this time. A heart attack for a spryher basically means death. Because, it was at that moment the second heart's Genetic Characteristics would strike and if one was not very careful, one might just lose control.
"Solution includes submerging into the Energy Tank for a few hours. It would help heal the external and inter wounds. For better recovery, it is advicable to add a vial of serum as there seem to be a 50 percent chance of losing control." His injuries could be said to be serious and also not that severe.
Dav's eyebrow locked together upon hearing this. Serums are expensive stuffs, not just anyone could afford it but he had no choice if he wanted to recover quickly, avoiding the fate of losing control.
If he left his body to recover itself, it might take up several weeks of his time as he would be unable to practice, his blood circulation would not increase during this period and he would remain stagnant, left behind by his peers which was quite unacceptable by him.
The position he had risked his life for would surely be taken from him. It would surely be a disappointing outcome.
Coming out of his thoughts, he headed towards the Energy Room with slow steps. Almost every step caused him quite a bit of pain causing his face to distort.
"There is something which is uncertain to be mentioned." he raised his eyebrow in question to the AI's words.
"What is it?"
"The level of neurological activity and brain waves activities in the body seem to be more than 10 times higher than every living organism recored in the data base. It could be a systematic error that led to such conclusions but if it is not, this could be a huge discovery that could help humanity in some ways.
If you could submit the result to the institute, the least amount of Gyno Points estimated to be given is 20,000 Gyno points. Do you wish to proceed with the submission process?"
David's head was at first blank, after which, he was stunned and then frantically, he hurriedly shouted 'NO!' sending the result to the institute was just serving him to wolves on golden platter. He wouldn't even know how he died.
What huge discovery that could help humanity? it was just a sure death sentence. He would find a way to assist humanity but definitely not this way.
Cough! Cough!!
He had used too much force to shout out loud. That was how terrified he had being.. He didn't have any perverse wish to become an experimental subject.
