The pure humans in the line turned and saw Beatrice as well as Dante. Their cold expressions softened significantly, like seeing an old friend. They even greeted them with respect when they saw their attire. "Greetings, Admiral." "Hello, Vice-Admiral." They greeted Beatrice as an Admiral and Dante as a Vice-Admiral, which left him stunned. He was not even a cadet yet, how did he suddenly become a Vice-Admiral? Beatrice nodded to them amiably and introduced the two of them. She introduced Dante as…-

Dante's eyes snapped open as he took a deep breath and jerked upwards. He noticed that his body was extremely sticky and sweaty, and he suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable. He tried to wipe his eyes, but his face and hands were covered with… stuff. When he focused on what it was, he almost screamed. Blood! There was so much blood! God, all the sticky stuff on him was mostly dried blood and some that was still partially liquid. Even worse, he felt a warmness and extreme discomfort around his…

Dante slowly felt his mind coming to, but he was still so very groggy. His mind was extremely tired after going through that hectic situation with Beatrice, as he had always been on guard. The man was just a 21-year-old, not some 10,000 IQ champion. It was good enough that he didn't show his young age when dealing with the serious stuff, but to expect him to wade through all of that like a seasoned pro with no backlash was asking too much. And that manifested itself in the form of mental fatigue. So…

"Second question, are superpowers hereditary?" "There is a chance, but it is very low," Beatrice answered calmly. "Final question, what is the Unique batch and how does it differ from other batches?" Dante inquired. "Hmm, how do I say this… do you watch high school shows? The Unique Batch is basically the topmost elite who also happen to be special needs, who also happen to be misfits, and also happen to be incredibly gifted." Beatrice explained with a smile. Dante was speechless. "So, what's…

Dante felt enlightened. No wonder...! No wonder, those aliens had acted so crazy back then. It was a good thing he didn't wait to see how the situation would play out because he likely would not have his autonomy anymore by that point. "So how did you get here so fast?" Dante asked the crucial question. "I was actually coming here to refuel for a return journey to The Central System to report back for debriefing. Can you imagine my shock when I hear an unregistered pure human appeared on a random…

Dante obliged and got in, sitting opposite Beatrice. The internal of the shuttle was like a train compartment, or like the inside of a carriage. Due to the limited space, Dante's and Beatrice's knees were touching. She placed her hands on her lap and smiled while staring directly at Dante. Dante stared back with a neutral expression, wondering what kind of game this woman was playing now. Beatrice patted the pace beside her. "Why not come and sit beside me? That way we can be closer." Dante shook…

ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm Dante kept his eyes to himself most of the time. It couldn't be helped since she practically walked a few meters in front of him and walked like she was on the runway. However, the cold cyborgs by her side with their white coating and glowing laser rifles certainly made him not really enjoy the experience. Getting shot by metal was one thing but getting hit by pure energy? Dante feared that even more. Soon, they reached a teleporter nearby that was cleared for their use by even…

Dante moved downstairs and saw that his parents had already gone to the car, so he moved his stuff outside and with the help of his dad, lugged his suitcase into the back of the sedan. Then came a short drive where his mother exhorted him on the way about hygiene, girls, and safety. Dante listened to it all seriously, because hey, while it may be slightly annoying, there was actually some good stuff hidden in there that people often reflected on later in life. The apartment was in a small townhouse…

Dante suddenly jolted. "Right, that app!" He then rushed to his laptop and lifted the screen, waking it from sleep mode. Just as he was about to type, he saw a bunch of random strings of code flash by on his laptop as if it were some cheap hackerman movie. Dante was initially stunned then slapped his forehead. "Is this your doing?" He asked the AI chip in his head. Dante leaned back in his seat and rubbed his chin. "Huh. That's super neat and convenient. You are every user's dream." Dante…

Dante was unceremoniously deposited back into his room, and his face was still as pale as it had been from the moment every single being on that street treated him as their life's goal. He was panting heavily and sweat formed on his body despite not partaking in any strenuous physical activity. His mind buzzed with thoughts that were flying through rapidly and he realized that he was having difficulty actually getting air into his lungs. Suddenly, Dante felt his body relax involuntarily and he felt…
