Multi-Gene

Fergus only smiled bitterly as he hurriedly explained. “Please do not mind her, she was only worried for me. To be honest, she is pretty nice if you met her under different circumstances.”

“I remember now, the box, lets see what’s in the box. ” Clover shouted excitedly as he recollected what he had forgotten previously, jumping down from the tree tall tree.

Fergus smiled. Nodding at David to lay the box out.

David squinted his eyes and a sinister smile surfaced on his face. “What box are you talking about?” although he spoke softly, his words were almost like thunder to the five students ears.

Clover blinked his eyes in surprise as he stared at David, April took up a battle stance while circulating her blood.

The remaining two guys were also surprised but they slowly took a battle stance, surrounding David within them.

Only Fergus had a relaxed smile. Which only served to annoy David more. It was as if he had known David was only testing them.

But even didn’t know himself well, so for someone to remain sure he wouldn’t pose any harm towards them, made him a bit uncomfortable. The trust was a bit uncomfortable to him.

Clover was still confused and he asked David. “What do you mean? Isn’t that the box on your back?”

Maintaining his sinister smile, David replied “Yes, it is. But who says I will give the box to you guys?”

The atmosphere instantly turned tense as intense sinister waves blew back and forth in the environment, silencing the sounds of ants and insects.

“Bastard! We risked our lives for you and that box. What are you trying to do?” April was incredibly angry as she pointed at David, glaring at him with hateful eyes.

“Haha, but I didn’t ask you to risk your life for me, with how strong I am, I could handle the situation myself.” David chuckled.

April’s eyes turned red upon hearing those words. If it were another person who had been injured, she wouldn’t be this angry but it was Fergus that had almost lost his life. Her anger was about to soar into the heavens, that’s how angry she was. 𝑛𝒪𝒱𝖊𝓁𝓃𝓮xt.𝐂𝑜𝓂

“You!” her face turned red as she pointed at David.

“You what? Why do you care anyways?” David questioned and suddenly, as though he had remembered something, he said. “Oh, it is your boyfriend who got injured, of course you would care. ” his lips curled into a mocking smile.

Infuriated, those words seem to be her tipping point and immediately, April stomped her foot to the ground and as she was about to launch an attack with her full strength, a masculine hand held her back.

Looking sideways, it was Fergus who had stopped her and she gave him a questioning look

“That’s enough April.” Fergus stroked her hair softly to calm her anger and he turned towards David.

“Hope you’ve had your fun?” he gave him a soft glare.

David pursed his lips as he frowned while he stared intently at the team. “Aren’t you guys trusting me too much?” he questioned.

Shrugging his shoulders, “That’s just how we are. Moreover, the only thing you can do is run away with the box. You obviously can’t beat us all anyway.” Fergus said while patting April’s head.

Rolling his eyes at the reply he got, David took the golden backpack from his back, placing it down on the ground.

Stepping back a bit, “Do the honours.” He said to Fergus.

Clover instantly heaved a sigh of relief as tense atmosphere seem to have dissipated.

He didn’t even wait for anyone, he jumped at the box and open the lid.

“Ohh! There is one gadget, two microchips inside! And something that looks like gold?” Clovers cheerful voice sounded out but at the end, he was somewhat confused.

Bringing out the stuffs from within for the others to see. That gadget was in the shape of a boot. No, it was a boot that seemed big for anyone to wear.

While the two fingernail sized silicone on his hands were the two chips he was talking about.

“Waa, t-this is a Sky walker right?” Clover shouted excitedly.

The expression of the other students lit up, including David’s. It should be known that the least expensive Sky Walker was priced at an exorbitant amount. At a ridiculous price of 10,000 Gyno points for the lowest quality type.

But the one clover was currently holding seem even slightly better that a low quality Sky Walker.

The students instantly huddled together to check out the boot, the rest of the supplies was completely forgotten.

Taking hold of the boot from the overexcited Clover, Fergus then rook the boots and gave them to David albeit reluctantly while saying “Hope no one object to this decision.”

Although he seemed to ask, his words gave them no room to disagree at all and even the carefree Clover swallowed his complaints down to his stomach.

David eyes glinted sharply, but he didn’t refuse the boots. But as he was about to record his imprint inside the Sky walker, he felt a slight pinch in his heart.

Breathing heavily and reluctantly, David rolled his eyes at his self consciousness. It was at this moment he wished it hadn’t existed. He was conflicted.

But in the end, he gave in. He picked up the boot and under the stares of the five students, he placed them on Fergus’s hands. “Well, you almost died. And as much as I would hate to admit it, April was right, you did it to protect me, so I would obviously be uncomfortable if I took the Boots without doing any thing significant that worth it.”

David finished his explanation with a cool expression which made the other students show awe on their faces for him.

But why wouldn’t his hands release the boots? His finger hooked in the insides of the shoes, refusing to release them.

After forcing David’s hands out, Fergus smiled widely. “I knew I made the right decisions in befriending you.”

“Alright, I obviously wouldn’t ignore your kind intentions, so I will gladly accept the gadget.” Fergus shamelessly stated and didn’t even argue with David.

David was a little stunned. He had been expecting a little bit of rejection, but this shameless guy just took it without even being polite.

He should have just kept it for himself. David could only grit his teeth in regret. There was no remedy for it anyway.

Breathing deeply he asked. “What are the two chips for?”

Clover was still a bit downcast since they didn’t give him the Sky walker. But he took hold of the two chips and told his AI to scan them for their uses.

“One is a Sound Enhancement chip grants one the ability to hear sound waves a specific distance for a specific period of time, while the other, just grant’s one the ability to be hyper sensitive to thermal heats for a period of time, called Thermal Vision.” Clover explained, while his excitement returned in his face.

Nodding his head, Fergus appeared deep in thoughts and after a few seconds, he turned towards David. “Why don’t you choose the one you would like to take out of the two chips.” Fergus suggested.

And from the silence Clover, April, Olamide, and Dagrin were emitting, it was obvious they clearly agreed with his suggestion this time.

Showing the whiteness of his eyes, David only grunted slightly. He walked towards Clover who still had the two micro Chips with him.

After a few seconds of staring at the two chips, David frowned slightly as he couldn’t decide on which micro chip he should choose.

As he was about to grab the sound enhancing micro chip, the corners of his eyes caught onto something and his hands paused.

It was a bar, the size of his two palms together, but what made it familiar was the gold colour it was with.

David was a bit stunned and he unconsciously muttered “This gold again?”

What was with the gold he had been seeing all over the place? This was pretty much the third time and honestly, it was getting pretty tiring to him.

But David wasn’t stupid. He had seen the gold metal in different shapes and sizes which is extremely precise as though they had been made that way to be a specific spare part in something like a mechanical piece of equipment.

Determination shine in his eyes a d he decisively took hold of the Gold Bar. Since he had other parts already, he decided to see just how everything will end.

Fergus frowned slightly as he said “There is no need to sympatize with us, although there would be only one chop left if you took one, we have already benefitted from this hurl with only the Sky walker. So feel free to choose a Microchip.”

It seems Fergus thought David was choosing the useless block of gold for their sake.. But he couldn’t be any more wrong.
