Blood Evolution System

"Is it possible for me to awaken both Life Recovery and Shadow Travel?" John asked, looking at Veronica in anticipation.

"You can do it through consuming a darkness-type extraordinary evolution material to awaken the latter, followed by the awakening of Life Recovery due to the intense pain that\'ll come while awakening Shadow Travel." Instructor Veronica explained, highlighting her wisdom on the subject of evolution and awakening.

She knew many ways to arouse supernatural cells and awaken abilities, be it ordinary or extraordinary, as she has not only memorized the information related to such topics in the database of the federation but also the ones in the database of the Hollow Great Royal Family, which only a selected few can access.

"So there\'s a way!" John\'s eyes brightened in glee after he found out that there\'s a way for him to awaken two extraordinary powers.

Instructor Veronica\'s eyebrows raised after she heard John\'s word of excitement, and she began speaking, "Don\'t tell me you\'re thinking of doing that."

"I am," John replied in a confident voice, a serious expression on his face.

"It\'s not easy to get an extraordinary evolution material," Veronica said, knowing full well that there was little to no chance of a teenager like him to come across an extraordinary evolution material as such things are only obtaining from the bodies of certain monsters not found in Xavier. Even in planets rumored to have such monsters, there was little to no chance of encountering them. A person could look for them but never find even one in their entire life.

"I already have it," John said, causing Veronica\'s lips to remain parted as if a lightning bolt has not only hit her but also paralyzed her in time.

"Oh, okay." Instructor Veronica said, blinking her eyes a few times. "However, there\'s another catch."

"What is it?" John asked in a calm voice.

"Your life will be at risk if you try to do something like that." She said, telling the harsh truth that comes with double ability awakening.

"Huh?" John felt a bit surprised, not too shocked, as his sister has undergone the same thing, making him find it a bit relatable.

"You see, you don\'t have enough life force to support the awakening of two extraordinary powers simultaneously," Instructor Veronica said with a grave expression on her pretty face, "The awakening evolution process will consume your life force whole mid-way, ending your life."

"Couldn\'t I just use magical herbs with life force?" John asked, feeling that it should work him as it worked for his sister, too.

Instructor Veronica shook her head in declination and said, "Even ten of them won\'t be enough. You\'ll need several dozen magic herbs that increase a person\'s life force by 100 years to successfully undergo the awakening evolution process and awaken a mutated version of Shadow Travel and Life Recovery, or a mutated version of these two abilities. There\'s also a chance of your extraordinary supernatural cells mixing into one to give rise to an unordinary ability! If that happens, however, you\'ll need ten thousand year\'s worth of life force."

Supernatural abilities and cells are of three types, ordinary, extraordinary, and unordinary.

Ordinary < Extraordinary < Unordinary.

Unordinary supernatural cells are a mixture of Extraordinary cells. Similarly, extraordinary cells are a mixture of ordinary supernatural cells. A person who awakens using ordinary cells can only use the most basic type of abilities such as fireball, water blast, and so on. The combination of two ordinary abilities creates extraordinary abilities. For example, Leilani\'s ice ability is a combination of water and coldness.

"I see…" John uttered two words after a moment.

"If you don\'t have any more questions, then please go back to your seat." Instructor Veronica said in a gentle voice.

"I understand." John nodded before turning around and returning to his seat.

"Don\'t worry. If there\'s a way, then big sis will do her best to get ten thousand year\'s worth of life force for you." Leilani said with the look of a responsible elder sister on her face.

"Don\'t bother. There\'s no way to get so much of a precious resource." John refused her with a laugh, knowing full well that that\'s easy to say but more than just troublesome to do.

Furthermore, he didn\'t want to burden others once again.

Leilani didn\'t know what to say as John was right. It was hard to get life force as it was a monopolized resource. The best way to get it was to roam the wilderness in search of it. The second was to join big auctions and purchase them using a large amount of money, one they couldn\'t afford. 100 year\'s worth of life force will cost them half their life force, but they needed 10000 year\'s worth of it, after all.

"At least, you\'re better than me. I can\'t even contain supernatural cells, yet you have three different kinds of them in your blood." Nevis said in a self-nocking tone, trying to cheer up John.

"Better yet, we found out that it\'s not safe for you to consume the fruit of darkness as there\'s a 100% chance that it will arouse both your extraordinary cells."

Yes, that was just one of the good things that happened today.

He would have surely died or at least enter the same state as Leilani if he had consumed the fruit of darkness without prior knowledge of the cells inhabitation his bloodstream, leading to the funniest and joked after death – an accidental, suicidal death!

"Well, I\'m not too sad. I\'ll just focus on arousing my Life Recovery cells. For that, I need someone to hurt me." John said, feeling disgusted with the idea of self-harm and wondering just who would like to beat the shit out of him.

"Haha, you can leave that to me," Nevis said with a laugh, cracking his knuckles.

"There is a way," Iris suddenly said in a low voice as she grabbed John\'s hand gently.

"You don\'t need to lie to make him feel better. Am I right, buddy?" Nevis said after he heard her words.

"Yeah. Am fine." John said, smiling at Iris, telling her that there\'s no need for her to trouble herself by thinking too much about it.

"At least, hear her out first." Leilani butted in, rolling her eyes at the two boys.

"Honest to my family name, what I said is the truth!" Iris added, swearing in the name of Twilight.

"Really?" John asked, blinking at Iris in surprise.

He thought she was just trying to make him feel better, but it seems like there\'s more to it.

"Yes," Iris said, smilingly.

"What is it?" Nevis asked, wondering how is it possible to obtain 10000 year\'s worth of life force.

"I will tell you about it once we are in a less crowded place," Iris said, only looking at John as if Nevis and others didn\'t exist.

"Ah, okay," John said as he couldn\'t help but feel suspense eating him up from the inside.

The class was still going on as Veronica checked the affinities and supernatural cells level of the last few students, inputting the newfound information in the database of the federation.

Today, most of the Beta and outer circle students learned a new thing, while even Alpha class students clarified themselves about a few important matters.

The most important of them all was how a change in emotion, life, and personality arouses supernatural cells, eventually leading to a person entering the awakening evolution process.

A combatant arouses Air & Water supernatural cells to awaken an ability once they lose their shit and become angry or start raging, destroying things, or right on killing others.

A person with supernatural cells of fire inhabiting their bloodstream can awaken by remaining calm for a day, week, month, years, or several years depending on the strength of the ability they will end up awakening. Felix, for example, awakened at a young age, the time when he used to be nice, happy, patient, and kind.

The stronger the ability, the more time it will take to arouse the supernatural cells in the bloodstream.

John, for example, has a lot of supernatural cells in his bloodstream, and 67% of them are of the highest quality, an extremely big deal. However, to arouse the Life Recovery cells, he needs to undergo tremendous pain. And to arouse the Shadow Travel cells, he needs to feel what it means to be without gravity for several years.

From the same knowledge, Leilani also realized that she must have awakened her ice ability because she was feeling too tense and stressed out as the military entrance exam was upon her. Ice was cold, calm, emotionless, and rigid, yet she was overflowing with opposite emotions. Naturally, it aroused her ice cells. She wondered what might have aroused the telekinesis cells.

"Might be because I was crushing on Vincent," Leilani thought in her mind, blushing a bit as she recalled the times when she used to sneak a peek at him training shirtless in the training ground of the orphanage and a lot of other times.

A few minutes later, once all the students have passed through the gates, undergoing the necessary and compulsory assessment, instructor Veronica looked at them and said, "Alright, that\'s it for today. You guys can go to the reception building, and the receptionists will give you an eatable ordinary evolution material. Consume it in a safe and isolated place and awaken. The faster, the better. I\'m sure you won\'t regret it."

Her words contained double meaning, which only a few were able to comprehend.
