Chapter 185 - Easy Level [Part 4]
Mount Sefuri
"It worked" Shino said elated, it was a technique he has always thought of for the past one month, the use of his blood to defeat an Alpha if he was cornered again, that day still rang in his head when he was unable to do anything against the Alpha that came after Hiro, the use of his time pause drained his body so he had been thinking of another, and he finally found it.
'To get stronger' he thought, that was his goal 'And to level up' a scene flashed in his head of that day, when he protected Sumi, the tears in her eyes something he would never forget. His fist clenched hard, the dead faces of his comrades the pain they went through because of Alpha's. No one will die or suffer on his watch again.
"No one" he said sternly, no matter what it takes.

Ten
Ten shouts sliding on the ground, the laser beam from the Alpha's mouth missing him. It almost got his head, he knew it. He quickly sat up facing the Alpha taking harsh breath, the Alpha a few distance away from him, steams blowing from his mouth.
'Saito Ten, the brain of the bio-genetics' Anzai thought watching the scene. 'Does little efforts on the battlefield' his eyes narrowed, 'but that's able to change'
Ten rose to his fist, his blood weapon was already on his right hand, it was a black gauntlet embodied with crimson lines from his blood, it was like those gauntlet used by knights in ancient times but advanced.
"Few minutes to go before it shoots those lasers again" Ten said sweating profusely, he already counted the timing of the shoot out... how long was he gonna keep avoiding the lasers, he had to think of something to defeat the Alpha, he wasn't Hiro with the sword of slaying Alpha's but then again he knew if he was able to conduct a strong energy similar to that of an Alpha, then maybe he would have a chance of defeating it.
His fist clenched, using his other hand to adjust his glasses.
'A strong force of energy' he thought staring at his blood weapon. 'Another reason why I choose this blood weapon' he thought with a smirk.
"Let's give it a try then, my ultimate Technique" he said placing his hand forth like he about to call something, he used his other hand to wage it.
He took a deep breath, his eyes shaky.
'Concentrate Ten, concentrate... its almost like Haya's abilities but at a different scale, rather than focusing on sounds and vibration, i will use my blood to power up the gauntlet like a generator... alright let's do this!' He shut his eyes close for a brief second.
And then flashed his bio-genetics eyes open, the iris color changed to bright crystal blue like a diamond mixed with light and dark shades with a hint of red lines in it, forming a crack moving around, the pupil darkens more and extended.
'Focus Ten!' He focused his blood to flow to his gauntlet more not just that, he focused it all more to his palm as they formed from beneath in form of tiny molecules.

Operation Base
"He's directing tiny bits of his blood, along with the infected energy" Touka said amazed.
"Ha yes! The infected energy, just like the blue energy from the Alpha's mouth, like the one Hiro conjures around his body too" Hachiro said.
"He's releasing it along with his blood, thus forming a very strong energy, strong enough to rival that of an Alpha" he adds.
"But will that energy be enough?" Kaede reasoned facing her gaze back to the screen but then she froze, she notices the energy in Ten elevating.
"It jumped" Kashi said amazed.
"Sp3: Level 2" Kenta said.

Mount Sefuri
"BLOOD TECHNIQUE!" Ten shouts as the blood on his palm formed like a round red ball, beaming crimson, medium sized.
"DRAGON BALL!!!" he shouts as the energy in form of his blood zapped to the Alpha in speed, jamming with the Alpha's chest, and causing a very loud shock, the ball spinnrd like a spiral all the way to the Alpha's neck piercing through as the head disconnected off the Alpha's body.
"I did it!" Ten said elated.
He jumps up and down.
"I destroyed an Alpha" he applauded himself but then his bone cracks as he drops to the ground groaning in pain.
'As expected of Saito Ten, to think of something far off the ordinary' Anzai thought with a smile against his lips.
***
Yuki
"Blood Technique: Tornado smash!" Yuki hissed as she spin to the Alpha with her twin katana swords jamming with the Alpha's neck but it only just bounced back.
'It didn't cut!' She thought as she hastily drew back.
'Nagami Yuki, as flawless as she is but also irrational when making certain decision' Anzai thought as his lips pressed in a thin line. 'When it comes to Hiro' he adds as his eyes narrowed.
He remembered when Shino came to him, the discussed about what happened, about the second Alpha attack, and they knew that the Alpha was after Hiro from yuki herself.
*
"She called me Shino-san which was odd, I mean Yuki has always called me Commander Shino, I thought it was just a slight flaw but it got me thinking" Shino said with shaky eyes.
"Got you thinking about what?" Anzai demands with anticipation.
"That Yuki was an entirely different person, I told Hiro about it but over the past days we have been in Fukuoka she has been her usual self its almost like I hallucinated her being a different person... strange" Shino said with shaky eyes.
"The look in her eyes..." he trailed off.
Anzai eyes narrowed at Shino's words, his gaze finally lands Anzai's.
"... It was strange".
*
Anzai recalled the conservation he had with Shino, ever since that day he as always wondered about Yuki, a girl who could see the pattern just like he did, a girl that was almost a mystery to him.
*
"During the bio-genetics first training, it was also like she awake her bio-genetics abilities like she knew how, others were triggered by fear or a sense to adrenaline rush, but she... she triggered hers just merely trying to protect Hiro, she was able to grasp the full potential of her powers unlike the rest" Touka said with puzzled eyes.
*
He also remembered Touka's words, all this through and through got him thinking because he knew without anyone telling him, there was a mystery about Nagami Yuki, and he was hell bent about finding out because she holds a certain interest to his godson, he was curious.

Operation Base
Kaede paused seeing Yuki's level her eyes widen as well as others.
Touka stepped forwards in awe.
"She's in Sp3: level 3?" She said stunned.
"Only just a moment ago she was Sp3: level 2" Yukio said puzzled.
"She's the same level as Hiro" Kashi said gulping hard.
"Is her willpower that strong that she's able to climb so fast" Touka said with shaky eyes.
'What's her drive, what's pushing her to her limit' Touka thought puzzled.

Mount Sefuri
Yuki's bio-genetics eyes beamed dangerously, the only blue light you could see from her dark expression.
"Blood Technique" she said faintly her long light brown hair swirling from an unseen energy.
The blade of her twin Katana beamed a every bright red from the flow of her blood.
The Alpha summoned an amount of red energy from its mouth.
She stood calm, her looks unreadable and hard to predict her next move.
'Out of the bio-genetics' Anzai thought sternly as lips pressed in a thin line.
'You're a mystery'
The Alpha zapped the energy at Yuki it came at her in extreme speed but still she stood her ground as she quickly put on her sword in an x format, the energy jamming on it, making bit of the energy to disperse on neither sides of her, causing cuts and wave.
With one foot to the ground she zapped at the Alpha still blocking the beam directed at her, she got close to the Alpha.
"TORNADO SMASH!" she shouts as she spins, entirely dispersing the energy as she cut through the Alpha's head off, the force causing a shock to the ground beneath their feet and a large crack.
Anzai watch intensely as the steams around cleared, Yuki stood in the midst of the destroyed crater, the head at the corner, the body in front of her drops to the ground giving off electricity sparks.
Yuki stared into the skies, the wind swirling around her in waves, flapping her clothes and making her hair swirl behind.
'To protect Kimura Hiro' she thought as her grip tightens on her twin katana.
She then turned her gaze to General Anzai who had his gaze on her, they lock gazes their eyes lingering on each other for what seemed like a minute.
'Nagami Yuki' Anzai thought as the wind blew around them.
'You have caught my undeniable attention'.

Hiro
Hiro was seated on the ground, his back leaned against the black iron wall, he stared into the skies. 'That feeling' he thought, the energy he felt just a few seconds ago.
He held his forehead, the back of his head resting on the wall, tilting upwards.
'Yuki'
