Tying the bandage around his arm. Claude silently reminisced a sudden memory that he could swear was candid but now foggy to the point only the basic sense of feeling were all that remained.
'Strange, why did i forget that felt important? Why am I so accustomed to this me on any other day would panic but it feels natural in fact too natural.'
He thought to himself as he surveyed the room all the instruments were still clean and the room well kept. It was a surerity that there weren't any abnormals here at least not destructive ones.
Now Claude was a normal man with outlandish passions one of them was simply the fantasy of eternal health, that was the reason he had promised himself not t find himself in the nurse's office any time that year.
Since he had broken some part of the promise he wanted to avoid full breach, he ransacked the place searching for antibiotics stimulants and any other whacky things he thought he would need.
The problem soon came about there were too many things for him to even try and carry casually.
"Seems like I need to skim my baggage, well someone did say excess is disability."
He said loudly looking at the mountain of supplies.
(Detected materials with ratings above C would you like to devour A level item Penicillin Strand Mutation to activate Unique trait vessel)
Fearing he would not understand the board listed out the skill vessel
VESSEL: Unique skill
IT ALLOWS FOR THE STORAGE OF AN INFINITE AMOUNT OF ITEMS OF QUALITY ABOVE FFF, CANNOT STORE LIVE MATERIAL, MATERIAL WILL BE BROUGHT BACK WITH THE STATE IT WAS PUT IN *RARE CHOICE WAS TRIGERED BY THE SKILL LIMITLESS(passive)*
"All this for antibiotics, wait stimulants are rated lower than bandages wait is there anything special urg i don't want to think about it. I accept."
He loudly said as the materials all got warped into a vortex that appeared on Claude's forehead.
'So on the forehead got that.'
Walking about the silent halls he had started to think of something. The dimensions were hilariously simple, if there were 2400 abnormals in the school and judging by the size of the academy if they were reasonably spaced at 10 units [er area then every 50 meters he should have encountered some abnormals.
'These bastards are concentrated elsewhere.'
He silently cursed taking a corner and a strange smile that seemed more forced than natural appearing on his face.
Standin in front of him were three things abnormal even for being abnormals, they were thin almost comparative to a broom stick, tall almost three feet difference between him and them.
"let me guess you two are fast huh?"
He asked as he narrowly bent his body at an unsettling 90 degree angle head facing the ground. The malnourished hand blew a gust of wind with it's thrust. The gust broke the intricate balance between him and his center of gravity.
He fell in an instant, scrambling to recover he found himself in a face off with the three things that had changed their hue from green to red.
(High level abnormal detected, bug sealed no quest were given out.)
'That seems to be the limit for limitless at this point.'
The abnormals all clenched both of their fist combining hem to form a mallet of flesh and blood crashing it down on the flabbergasted Claude.
Through some fluke he had managed to avoid the combined impact of the three abnormals, looking at his pubic area with an expression of horror on his face.
'Don't these things understand the value of these things? Of course not they are dead, I think.'
The things did not stay still they blitz to his position jumping high in the air doing some drill spins before falling like a tungsten bomb onto Claude's position
'They are leveraging their speed for offensive power these things are way too smart. If i keep staying on the ground i will eventually be cornered I need to find an opening to stand.'
He thought as he squirmed helplessly avoiding the abnormals attacks
(Discovered, mutation within species undocumented species, special task, capture abnormals, reward 12 times the experience obtained upon their death.)
"First it's the drugs now these things, I'm actually starting to believe these things are mor valuable that what you are offering."
He voiced his thoughts simultaneously rolling on the ground like a worm avoiding the abnormals attacks.
'Didn't we have a genius trying to discover some new strand of something when this school wasn't a ghost town. That means that wasn't normal antibiotics i sold to this thing, huh?'
Eventually he managed to stand, between his fall and his recuperation he had acquired some bruises from these things so of course he had to pay it back ten fold.
Any person with a martial acumen would find facing three opponents with large appendages and terrifying speed as difficult so facing three at once was a hassle beyond hassle.
Claude was being pummeled the large things leaving no rom for effective resistance.
Sensing an opportunity the status came back with an offer too sweet to turn down
(Accept the task reward three minutes of trait supercharged)
SUPERCHARGED
INCREASES COMBAT EFFECTIVENESS BY OVER 4500%
"Hell no I'm winning this by myself."
He roared as blood slowly spattered from his mouth staining the white tiles in it.
The real reason he had refused was that if it was willing to give him such a boost then it would be a waste if he didn't milk it for all it had.
Soon enough he was already regretting his previous decisions the punches were still raining i and up to then he had been doing no damage.
'If i had more strength would it actually help right now, no this is a skill issue, I'm no martial artist I don't know how to fight. I only know how to brawl.'
He contemplated as he was desperately guarding and trying to block some, in short he was in a miserable state.
*Use what you have*
These words instantly came into mind as he fell further into thought, the pain was tolerable so he could afford to fall into comprehension.
(Resonating with dormant bloodline, Life energy being felt, resonance too little, bloodline has failed to awaken)
The status flashed but he paid no heed to it. His entire world view changed drastically. Before he was so focused on trying to calculate the punches probable source trajectory and whatnot.
Now even minutely he saw the things as an amalgamation of veins hid by a fleshy coat the veins came from two circles one on his head the other where their hearts were supposed to be.
Whenever they wanted to punch the energy surged and travelled to the arm that was about to be used.
Instinctively he could now catch the blows.
'Fuck too much momentum, can't block, wait energy can be transformed.'
He thought as he deliberately shifted the position of his arm o the abnormals hand then using some strange laws of physics made the thing slam into the wall.
Now since he found a method of coping he quickly adapted to fighting three at a time.
'Is it normal to be excited by utter dominance in a fight, so this is why people practice martial arts this sense it's weirdly calming to be one with my carnal self.'
Soon he had dispatched the things as they lay sprawled on the ground in a near death state.
'If I kill them I should be able to advance.'
The thought to himself as he bent down next to one of the ramming his fist which had been reduced to bone despite the bandages.
(Candidate, please, surrender the abnormals, rewards include....)
"If you have nothing better to give then It's better i kill it, maybe I'll get more value."
(Rewards include, 25times experience, 5 thousand gold ingots, A chance to awaken dormant bloodline....)
"Fine you seem sincere enough take them."
He said as the things instantly disappeared instead being replaced by a floating chest.
"So old school I like your tastes."
He said as he calmly approached the chest, upon contact it opened
(Level up current level Life seed Lvl 17)
(Bloodline failed to activate)
(Trait seal failed to release)
(5000 old successfully accredited)
Although over the moon for wringing the status dry he was a bit concerned about something,
"How come I'm past Lvl 10 and I'm still classified as a life seed."
He had thought that every ten levels he would move on to the next stage.
(Classes aren't determined by strength It is a form of evolution only creatures with bloodlines can advance in classes)
"Don't I have a bloodline? Or is its dormancy the problem?"
(Bloodline cannot be graded, Bloodline is too dominant, Bloodline is a bug, Cannot be classified until bloodline name is revealed)
"So Its just curiosity over my bloodline, but does it mean I'm weaker that the average Post natal candidate?"
(Life seed limit is level 9 but due to incredible resonance between trait and bloodline, the two bugs broke through administer settings now limit for Life seed for candidate Claude Liverier is infinite)
"So that means I' m still growing in strength but not in class."
(No if bloodline is revealed and bug is patched the current level will correspond to the class)
"So in short I'm still the average candidate?"
(No the higher the class the higher the class of abnormal needed to level up but since you are life seed it takes less exp to level up and you can use any class of abnormals)
"Actually I don't want to discover bloodline name."
