The Greatest Gene

Chapter 3 - Level Up

"1.15 tons"

An average man punches at around a force of .2 tons, all things considered. Cains strength was 2.5 times an average man, and his speed was 2.3 times an average man which made gave his punch a force of 1.15 tons. Force like that could easily shatter a man's skull.

"Defense 3"

Everyone was shocked as they saw Cain's results, especially the teacher, he had been Cain's teacher for the year and so he knew this young man wasn't anything special, so his current results shocked him. Cain did only a little worse than Ledger, who used to be the best in class by quite a big difference, Ledger wasn't use to see someone else take some of the spot light so he naturally was a little annoyed at Cain

"Well done students, especially you Cain. It seems that you've held back in the past to explode at this moment. The top three students will be given a pass, using this pass you can apply to Genetic Warrior College, hopefully you guys can get into the schools you want"

The students that once ignored Cain quickly came up to congratulate him, however Cain wasn't bothered with what they said. He knew these kind of people best, they were on your side while you were strong, but would step on you the second you lost that power. Cain received the pass from his teacher before heading home, the enrollment event would take place in a week, representatives from all the schools will gather at one spot and students will choose the best school for themselves.

Cain got home, before focusing back onto his gene, slow. He hadn't had a chance to test it yet because of all the things that had happened recently. The main reason Genetic Warriors were strong wasn't just due to their stats, but also their genetic abilities. The test he just underwent didn't use any genetic abilities in order to be less biased, however using them could increase a person's strength multiple times.

Through repeatedly using and mastering a gene you could increase its level and in turn increases both your stats and the genes own power. Cain sat down on his bed as he focused, he opened a window in front of him before activating his genes ability, the air that was once blowing onto his body suddenly slowed down, it felt like the air took longer to reach him and the force had died down a lot.

Cain grabbed something random from his room before tossing it up and using his ability, as the object fell back down, the second it was caught in Cain's sphere it slowed down to about 9/10 its previous speed, while that didn't sound like much, you should remember Cain's ability was still at level 1 and each increase would make it stronger.

Cain then shifted his attention, he tossed the object up again, but instead of creating a slow sphere around himself, he focused on the object itself. A small sphere a little bit bigger than the object itself appeared it, slowing down its movement by half, a significant difference compared to before.

Cain noticed his ability had 2 forms, an AOE sphere around himself that would influence anything that gets too close to him, or an individual effect on whatever object he focused on, the effect on it was much better, seemingly from having its power concentrated. The sphere around Cain had a radius of about 2 meters, which will probably also increase with his ability level.

Cain ended up playing around with his ability the entire night without noticing, eventually he heard a felt traverse through his body, similar to the time he awakened his slow gene, he felt a sudden increase in power and quickly went to check on his stats

Strength: 3.5

Speed: 3.3

Defense: 4

Genes: Inner Vision : Level - 1, Slow : Level - 2

After a night of practicing with his slow ability he managed to actually reach level 2, most people would take years for every level they broke through unless they had some of fortuitous encounters. Years might sound long, but Genetic Warriors have enhanced life span based on their defense, and an average person could easily live to 100 considering how advanced science has gone over the years. One's life span was essentially their defense x 100, increasing defense didn't only increase your bodies durability and regeneration, it also increased the overall level of your existence, extending your lifespan and making your future offspring have far better genetics. That's why powerful people rarely ever had untalented children, because they were considered a higher life form compared to normal humans.

Cain retested his skills after realizing his slow gene levelled up. His radius doubled in size to 4 meters, his slow sphere could now slow anything within it to 8/10 its previous speed, and when he focused on an object he could freeze it completely where it was for a second. His comprehensive strength skyrocketed based off a single level, he could probably beat 4-5 of his previous selves, which was also why each gene level was considered a big break through.

Suddenly the alarm went off, only now did Cain realize the morning had already come and it was time to head to the College fair, however Cain didn't feel tired at all, his breakthrough seemed to revitalize his entire body. Cain looked in the mirror and corrected his hair and clothes. He was 1.9, his body was streamlined from all his training, and his long black hair reached his waist, he was extremely handsome and his friends used to joke that even if he failed to get into college, he could find some rich lady to take care of him. His eyes were sharp and filled with determination, he was finally heading down the path he had always dreamed of, and he planned to keep marching until he reached the peak.
