THE CHOICE

Mr. Han stayed true to his words and began an even more intense training regime for David. The regime included a whole physical routine, after which Mr. Han would beat David to near death with the help of Tedenite. He was also asked to double the normal physical routine he followed during the night.

At first, David used to faint every time Mr. Han beat him. The whole atmosphere was a bloody mess and it would be followed by David being drowned in a medical potion which was personally monitored and delivered by Mia. When she would look at David's injured figure, her bloodlust would just burst out. But she controlled herself, as she knew that this process was to help her brother become strong in future.

The physical training did result in David's body becoming stronger and stronger as each day passed, but Mr Han still couldn't find any difference within his internal constitution. His body was akin to a bottomless pit that could devour any amount of potion fed to it. It was just then that he decided to ask for the help of the research division.

The research division had a deep connection with the Changs and hence they replied in kind. The initial procedure started with them sending examined samples with varying constitutions. The thought behind this move was that David's physique might have a different character than most of the population.

Evidently, it wasn't a new phenomenon for the research group, but soon enough things began to take a bad turn. No matter what sort of proportion was fed to David's body, everything was absorbed, yet no change in the constitution could be seen. The research group even sent some of their best scientists to examine David's blood samples. No change was observed for a very long time.

"What is the problem with this boy's constitution?"

"Honestly speaking, I am not sure myself. I have never seen a constitution that was so inefficient in processing high-grade potions. Even waste would have turned into a prospective hunter candidate by now, yet he remains unchanged. Although we wouldn't be sure until the very last moment, I feel that I have some bad news for all of you."

"Is his body rejecting the potions?"

"Quite opposite actually. His body is devouring everything which is being fed to it. The problem lies in the result. I feel that his body is either devouring it for a good reason, or it is simply unable to digest it out and wasting the resources."

"What are you suggesting?"

"Either something is sleeping inside waiting for the right amount of energy to burst out and become a very powerful entity, or this boy possesses the highest degree of the waste body in the world."

"Can't we do anything to change his fate?"

"There are multiple kinds of research going on regarding artificial creation of hunters but we remain unsuccessful. A minor default might have been rectified by the potions, but a wasteful body like his is not curable by science at present. Let's just hope that the opposite of my conclusion is true and he awakens to become an ultra-powerful hunter, never seen before in the world."

..............

David's training was following the normal routine, and Mr. Han would up the level of difficulty every five to ten days. David's body continued to drown in highly potent energy potions, but the only thing which changed was his muscle density and strength. There was no major change within his body.

The ball of light located near David's heart was absorbing every bit of potion which entered his body. It would occasionally send out the same faint yellow lines throughout David's body which would result in densifying David's muscle. But the traditional crevices within the body didn't show any improvement.

As time passed, even Nathan began to see the process as a waste of resources, but he had promised on his teacher's grave that he would continue to do this until David awakens. The awakening age was slowly approaching and everyone was preparing for the new batch of hunters who would emerge. Nathan had hoped that David would be able to perform better with the current prediction.

The top hunter guilds within the country fight within themselves to recruit powerful hunters into their ranks. Kaiser's recent acquisition of an SS class hunter put a lot of pressure on both local and international powers. Many forces even tried to eliminate Mia Chang to weaken Kaiser's power, but Kaiser, being the power it was, fended off each of those attacks. There was pressure on Mia to grow her strength fast.

Heaven-Dragon Academy-

Many of the top guilds sent their top hunter recruits to train within the academy. Heaven-Dragon academy was said to be the strongest force within the whole country, with its internal council a mystery to the outside world. Heaven Dragon academy was said to be ruled by a three-tier council. The lowest tier was composed of the instructors, while the second tier was composed of elders who were said to be composed completely of S-class Hunters. The highest tier was said to be composed of the three Vice-principals and the Principal himself.

Powers around the country and even the world value Heaven Dragon Academy as a top tier authority. All their hunter recruits would dream of becoming a student to one of the instructors. Many S class recruits were also present within the ranks and were training hard to attract the interest of the top echelons of the academy.

Mia, on the other hand, was undergoing intensive training within the top institutes of the country. Huntress chose to be Mia's instructor through the process since she was an agility type hunter herself. The other aspect which she required training in was the mental attribute and it was said that there was one instructor within The Heaven Dragon Academy who excelled in it.

"You need to focus on the physical aspect as of now. The instructor whom you are aiming for is a mystery to the world, and you could only connect with him once you attract his attention. The best way is by becoming stronger yourself. Your magic strength is currently in the B-rank. You need to train more intensively if you want to rise the ranks."

"I need your help to chart out a proper plan for training."

"For your mental energy training, I recommend you to do the basic exercise which is provided within the institute facilities. Your magical strength would propel you to power much faster than other students."

"I will be helping you in training your physical strength. Which body part would you like to concentrate on?"

"I want to train my whole body."

"That is an absurd dream. Trying to reinforce your whole body will take an awful lot of time. You should concentrate on one to two specific regions. You may go three or even four due to your insane magic strength, but the whole body is too big a dream to achieve."

"I want to do a full-body strengthening because I am positive about my chances to achieve it." Mia didn't explain her choice any further and hence Huntress was left in a dilemma. Achieving overall body strengthening has always been a dream for every hunter, but the time and effort consumed in training even one of the parts was very difficult.

Looking at Mia's stubbornness, Huntress decided to drop the matter for now and help her experience the hardship for some time.

"I can help you with your lower body training. As for the upper body, I will ask for the help of some of my powerful contacts within the academy. They can help you much better. I hope you can see how unachievable your dream actually is."

"I am confident to be able to reach the peak of B-rank of overall body training within half a year."

Huntress's eyes went wide with surprise on hearing such a blatant statement. Yet an inner feeling spoke to her that Mia might be able to achieve it. She never worked with a Hunter whose power rating was SS rated. She might be able to achieve the impossible.

"Fine then. Let's have a bet. If you can achieve the said realm within the specified time limit, I will help you pursue any path you follow. But if you fail, you will be following my idea of strengthening specified parts of the body."

"Agreed." There was no way Mia was backing down from her choice.
