The Gene Gamer

Chapter 8: Training Project

After arriving at his apartment, he tried to know his real ability and if he wasn't wrong his real ability was enhanced hearing. Judging things location just by hearing, and presenting the whole world to him in a colourless 3D picture. Although it didn't have any offensive abilities it was a sought after ability by various schools.

If described offensive abilities could always be replaced with genes but perception type genes were rare and this ability would also develop by strengthening themselves. Due to its nature these people with perception type abilities could be developed into a nice sniper, creator and many more.

Either it was a sought out ability. X-ray though sounding supernatural in fact it was just an impossible type of sense. By developing the eyes one could see through atoms and through the gaps could see the things that is obstructed by something.

It all sounded like a bullshit but it was proved scientifically possible. Just like that this hearing thing was one of the type. Judging by the sound, wind colliding and so on the hearing ability could locate the things near the user.

Tomorrow, he got up early and got back to the gathering place. When he got there the dwarf was also there standing in front of them. Farold was also there looking energized too.

"Listen trainees, from now one you all would be divided into ten groups and will receive different training from different instructors. The ones that had above fifty percent would get into the better ones while the ones that are below fifty percent would get worser treatment."

"Now you all would divide by yourself, for now just divide by whether you lit up a stone or not" the crowd then quickly got into formation, the ratio was 1:3 the 1 represented the people who lit up a stone.

"Now, the ones who lit up a stone will divide into two groups while orphans who didn't lit up a stone would divide into eight. The people who had a inner gene would all get in the same group"

They did as the dwarf told, and the large crowd was soon divided into ten large groups neatly. They then did as the dwarf told and went into each of the tunnels that appeared.

After arriving at their destination they were told to pick up a suitable gun for themselves.

It was way more advanced than the guns found in the garbage dump. Not only was it's power commendable they could refill more quickly than the ones at the dump. Nowadays, guns didn't need bulles to shoot anymore as the guns now could refill themselves with energy from the surroundings and shoot out energy.

But physichal bullets still existed, and when they were used the power would amplify. There were also instant refills that could be of use in desperate times. Looking at the large arsenal of weapon types he was excited.

Each trainee could choose the main weapon while the sub weapons would be distributed equally. For the weapon he chose a black riffle with blue outlines. Comparing the weapon to his previous one it was just trash.

He instantly wanted ot try out its power but held from doing so, if the ship gave them this riffle it should also have an aiming test.

After all of the trainees picked out their weapon, they were given a handgun and a knife. The knife looked sharp when he sliced his skin with the knife it was able to cut through it cleanly but only a scratch was made.

As expected the ship wanted to test their aiming ability from two hundred meters away. It was an easy test as he could shoot a bird from three hundred meters away even with the normal gun.

The surroundings were all black but he could feel the air fluctuations around him meaning that his eyes were deceived. Nothing was in sight and he couldn't move until a bait appeared in sight. It was moving but slowly. There were three circles in it and the core circle was quite large.

After aiming for a bit he pressed the trigger. Right after he felt a strong force pushing backwards. But he perserved and managed to not fall down. Looking at the bait again, there was a hole right in the middle of it. He didn't know the power of the attack but he estimate it roughly based on the pushing force.

"This thing could blast a person's head off, f*cking powerful." he said with a shocked face. Yet this was a weapon given to all of them, even if an ordinary person were to dodge the bullet from their vital organs they would still die from the blood loss made by the large wound.

But geneticians weren't so fragile, some powerful genes could block it with no scratch made at all. The bait changed once again and now this had five rings within. Rigth now he was exhausted by the pushing force earlier, it was just to test the power of the riffle and for the next tests he would use the handgun.

The handgun's power was commendable but still lacking compared to the riffle. Still he passed without a hitch and in the next one a bait with seven rings appeared he shot it in the center. That's when the distance increased to three hundred with ten rings in the bait now.

Before he would be unable to but htis time with his increased perception it was within his reach. Only after the three hundred meters thirteen ring bait appeared did he miss the center of it, all of it ended when he missed it.

The dark environment changed to a lit one and people were looking at him in awe while the dwarf nodded at him slightly. Yesterday the trainees had all told the dwarf of their ability and the top three was Farold as the top, Garen following suit and Cylius as the last of the top three.

According to the dwarf this was the shooting test and after it will be the combat test. People can choose a weapon of their choice, be it swords, knives or hidden weapons.

For this one he chose a knife because swords maybe long and powerful but his physic was weak he couldn't even lift the lightest one besides with his gun he wouldn't be afraid of anyone. The other orphans physics were slightly better than him as they at least moved around a lot while he a lazy ass was in his room all day playing games except getting out to get lunch.

After a hundred meter run he would be all out of breath trying his best to breath. He was quite relaxed about this test but when he heard the following words of the dwarf he almost cursed out aloud. "Then for safety reasons you won't be using any firearms you have chosen but genes are allowed."
