"You have piqued my interest." The old man stated as he glanced at David with a look of curiosity.

"At first, when you created those serums in just a week, I assumed you had been training in secret since your master is also a genetist but your match with Lilith changed my opinion." The old man stroked his beard and his eyes seem more penetrating, seemingly scrolling through all of David\'s secret.

David could vaguely tell something somewhat was trying to penetrate his skin to observe what was underneath it. Sensing this, David\'s eyes flickered but he hid them from view and put on an expression of ignorance, totally oblivious to what was happening. 

"I actually did have some secret training with my master, he had been helping me way before the test." David stated with an abashed look on his face. 

"I know, little white informed me about that. But the fact that you were able to produce a serum in just two weeks, means you have astonishing talents and also defeating someone with a demigod gene, it shows you have amazing talent."

"From what I could see, your body\'s talent for genes and Exercising Manuals are incredibly ordinary but your raw body strength is incredibly astonishing. I guess you\'ve had some luck while out on missions. Your luck isn\'t bad at all." The old man nodded his head as he praised. 

"Thanks for the compliment, sir."

"Normally with such raw strength at your age, I would have taken you in as a disciple but..." The old man sighed and shook his head. 

"But sadly, your latent body talent is incredibly weak, and luck can only carry you so far until it runs out and the limit your body can contain before it collapses is at most a Penta-gene Phaser. And as for your talents as a Genetist, it is very impressive, but I have no lack of talents of such under me."

David\'s eyes widened upon hearing this information, he couldn\'t believe his talent was that low as he knew his body the best. But then, he sighed in relief, his trick had worked. The old man had only seen what he wanted him to see. 

David\'s face held a slight tinge of despair and disappointment which the Grand Professor noticed in an instant. 

"Don\'t be sad, although I can\'t take you in as my intern, if you encounter any trouble during your practice, you can come to me. And you should be proud, it\'s not a small feat beating someone with a demigod gene. And with your talent as a Genetist, you will surely rise to the top. "

The old man smiled as he comforted David. "Take this. You can see it as a consolation price." The old man grabbed something out from mid-air and then gave it to David. 

It was a small heavy metal bronze ring with two circular rings tightly fit together with the ring on the outer edges circulating constantly at a rapid pace. 

Confused, David took the ring from the grand master while expressing his thanks but his eyes gave him up. 

The old man laughed. "I can see you are confused. It\'s incredibly normal. That\'s a storage ring."

"Oh." David nodded his head blankly as he saw the spinning ring. 

"You don\'t get it, do you?" The old man asked as though he had expected his reaction. 

"No sir, i don\'t." David said without the least bit of embarrassment on his face. 

"A storage ring is a type of circular particle accelerator where a continuous or pulsed particle beam may be kept circulating typically for many hours. In the olden era, Storage of a particular particle depends upon the mass, momentum and usually the charge of the particle to be stored. Storage rings most commonly store electrons, positrons, or protons."

"But we have long since advanced beyond the olden era. Things have changed and technology has advanced. The storage ring\'s capability as been enhanced and its size, thoroughly compressed into a single ring to make it easier to access."

"It\'s primary function is just as simple as it\'s name. It\'s a storage ring that stores limited amount of item in it. It will be of great help when you get to the academy and also out in the wilderness."

David was thoroughly astonished. He had heard about storage rings back in earth and had even read about it, knowing it was all fiction but here it was, a storage ring, sitting right before his very eyes. 

David grabbed the ring, careful not to touch the rotating outer edges of the ring. "How does it work?" the excitement David was feeling was very real and obviously shown through his face. 

"Instruct your AI to create a connection with the system in the ring which would allow you a direct path to the store or retrieve any item."

The old man smiled and said, "Don\'t worry you will figure it out eventually."

"It must have been very expensive, thank you." David sincerely appreciated the gift. And although the grand professor didn\'t chose him as his intern, something good had come out of this.

David was sure that even if he was filthy rich, there was no way he would be able to acquire a storage ring as there is not a single one at the market right.

"Alright, that\'s that. The others are waiting on you, I trust you will do well and make us proud." The old man patted David\'s shoulder and before David could say a word, he heard the familiar whirling sound of the Sky Cruiser.

The instructor was back already. "Go now kid."

David nodded his head and entered into the vehicle. The old man watched as the sky cruiser left the garden. His eyes seem to glaze over as he appeared to be in deep thought.

He then removed his gaze and then turned to stare at the garden before him, especially the red roses. "Interesting."

The journey towards the unknown destination was silent as the instructor merely steered the sky cruiser away. And David\'s interest was particularly piqued by the storage ring on his index finger.

The outer ring was still rotating and didn\'t give any indication whatsoever that it would stop anytime soon.

"Can you make a connection with the ring?" David said in his head, waiting earnestly for Hazel\'s reply.

"I can feel the energy wave emerging from the ring, once I connect to it, it will instantly bind with your DNA and can only be operated by you through me." Hazel explained.

"Okay, make the connection." David confirmed.

"Done."

David waited for a while and asked with confusion in his tone. "Just like tha-"

He hadn\'t finished his words when he felt sharp multiple sting. Seemingly like numerous needles emerging from the ring, stabbing deep into his index finger.

David frowned deeply at this. He wasn\'t disturbed by the pain or the needles, he was disturbed by the fact that the needles were so sharp. Sharp enough to stab through his almost impenetrable skin.

Even before he had used the body Tempering serum, his skin was almost as hard as steel and can only be pierced through after some effort. But when he had used the used the serum, he didn\'t even know how thick his skin was right now. It should be mostly impenetrable to any sharp object but the needles from the small ring had pierced through the skin he once was proud of, this made David slightly uncomfortable.

But he shrugged it and focused on Hazel\'s word. "Binding confirmed, DNA has been locked. Would you like to try it out now." Hazel asked.

Although David was excited, he knew it wasn\'t time for that yet, the time would come and he would try it then. As for now, he needed to known where the hell he was going.

"Can i ask which academy we are going to and why?" David interrupted the silence and asked the question that had really been bothering him all this while.

"The name is Cygnis Academy and you are going there as part of a mutual agreement the Grand Professor made with their Dean. Their best students from year one to give would come here for a few months to learn while our best students from all year would go to their academy to learn to resolve some old dispute."

"And we are going to meet the rest of the party you are going along with." The instructor explained and her voice had strangely changed. She no longer had the commandingly strict tone she always had during the Combat classes.

"We are here." The sky cruiser jolted for a bit and then the hatch opened.

"Good luck to you, and be careful." David seem to have heard a tinge of concern in her tone as he was about to leave. He nodded his head and thanked her for her help.

Meanwhile, he alighted the vehicle and came face to face with a huge gigantic sky cruiser, looking quite beastly and intimidating. But right at the entrance of the ship, there were four people standing right by the side of the ship as though waiting for something. He immediately recognised two people and his eyes turned indifferent immediately.
