BXBX NOVEL Chapter 51 - Cryogenic Pod
There are levels to Energy Tanks. The institute has three levels which it kept available to the public, and one, exceptionally kept privately for and by the Grand Professor of the institute.
The first type, which is the Black Grade is only meant and used by Spryhers - the newbies of the institute. the students who gain strength on the circulation of the blood. Cost 50 Gyno points per usage.
The second, the Brown Grade is only meant to be used by those who had advanced in their practices as Spryhers to become a Phaser. Becoming a Phaser is the true beginning on becoming an expert as they had opened up their Genetic Pool and had merged perfectly with a Gene after which, they could casually utilize the Genes they had fused with, Phasing in and out. Utilizing the Brown Grade Energy Tanks,
Costs 5000 points per usage.
The third, the Red Grade is used by Phantom Beast Master.
Phantom Beast masters are a level above Phasers. They had perfected the series of Genes they had fused with into a Single Powerful Entity.
When in battle, the peak of their states, they could call forth a Beast Phantom! Making for a perfect long ranged attack method. Costs 500,000 Gyno points for a single use.
Most instructors in the institute are stuck at the peak of this level. While a few instructors had a bit of luck to advance from the level to the next stage.
The main reason for that due to the fact that, it was necessary to utilize the Energy Tank. Either for strengthening the body or for recovering from injuries sustained from battles.
To improve further, the most common, easy and perfect way to advance is through combat. And not battles with fellow humans nor an ordinary spar. No, only battles with stronger REB\'s would most definitely Increase one\'s strength. If the battle is lost, and was successfully able to retreat unharmed, one\'s battle capability would increase by a fair amount.
But if one was successfully able to win, killing the strong REB\'s, one\'s strength would soar at an amazing pace.
But although the strength increases, if that person soaked in the Energy Tank, the rate of improvement would double at that moment.

David was quite unaware of this and he was especially not informed on how to get through to the Energy Tank.
He ignored the blond guy and moved to the front of the energy tank.
A five meters transparent glass tank that was filled with unknown blue fluid to the brim, stood in front of David. Not waiting to admire the beauty of it.
John watched on with a wide smile as the ignorant junior walked towards the Energy Tank. His mind screaming \'Jump in! Jump in!!\'
Although he had been assigned to guide the new students on the process of utilizing the Energy Tank but he could do nothing to those who ignored him. In his mind, he wasn\'t at fault since the ignorant junior didn\'t wait to listen to his explanation.
Dav ascended through the stairs leading to the top of the tank since it was almost 5 meters long in height.
Standing at the edge of the tank, Dav gazed at the thick bluish liquid, adjusting his state of mind, ready to submerge, he was about to enter, when he instinctively felt that something was wrong as his body was reacting in a weird way again.
He muttered something to himself afterwards , he climbed down from the stairs. He had deduced that his way of entering the Energy Tank seems to be wrong, otherwise his body wouldn\'t react in such a way for no reason. It\'s seems to be the exact reason the senior was assigned here.
Dav\'s eyebrow furrowed. Dammit! I don fvck up. Need to amend things with that arrogant prick. Clearing up his expression,
"Greetings senior!" With the grandest smile he could muster he turned to face the blonde guy who seemed to have a malicious smile on his face.
"Forgive me for my negligence as I had been in a bad mood earlier, I apologize for the inconvenience I had caused." he continued with a smile that was certainly fake and a tone which seemed apologetic but also bland.
John\'s smirk widened. "Oh, and what does junior want with me?" he directly ignored David\'s apology as he went straight to the point.
David felt things were going bad, and without hesitation, he dropped the pretense. "I assume you were put in here to assist the students through the energy tank." David\'s face had turned expressionless as he looked at John.
He was just being polite earlier, thinking the senior might be compromising seeing as he had lowered his pride. But it seemed the senior had other plans in mind as he refused to budge a bit.
Noticing that David had dropped his pretense, John couldn\'t help but laugh widely.
"Haha, you are right, but what about it?" Folding his arms, John leaned his back against the chair, while gazing provocatively at David.
"Do you mean to say you won\'t assist me with it?" David smiled as he asked. John\'s job was to assist the new students. As long as he said \'No\', he would definitely lose his Job.
John\'s face darkened as he glared at David. "You sure are sharp with your tongue, aren\'t you."
"Thanks for your compliments, I try my best." with a slight smirk, he replied.
Gazing at David for a moment, he abruptly said, "Okay, you win." walking towards the metallic long box, John pointed out.
"That\'s called a Cryogenic Pod. It induces you to a deep sleep, after which, transporting you into the tank. Just tap on the button to open the lid." John said straightforwardly as if he had forgotten the earlier argument.
David stared suspicious at John as the change in attitude was nothing short of suspicious.
Waving his hands, "Do not worry, I have no authority nor power to open the Pod without your permission. So, be at ease." he Assured him.
Although David could guess he wasn\'t lying, his mind wasn\'t eased in the slightest, instead he felt restless.
He couldn\'t understand how a person could change his attitude like that in a blink of an eye, just like a switch.
But, he was way too tired to care about that it. So, he ignored the alarms ringing in his head.
He pushed down the button under the gaze of the smiling John.
Air puffed as the sounds of mechanisms rang out. With a whoosh, the metal lid opened revealing a space that could fit a regular human perfectly.
Not bothered about anything, he just wanted to take a rest, he laid down the space. With a light thud, the lid closed as David had laid within.
Lying down in the Pod, he could hear his heart beat and the sound of his breathe.
Under the span of a second, Atmospheric Chemicals was injected into the air as the air in the Pod became chilled as cold seemed to seep into his body, he could immediately feel the immerse chill rising.
\'No wonder it\'s called a Cryogenic Pod\' Dav could only mutter this words before he fell into a deep sleep.
Meanwhile outside the Pod, John turned around to walk back to his desk as he snorted. "You think you can just walk Scot free? Going to the Energy Tank twice when it\'s not even a week yet, He truly is ignorant." he smiled while his eyes glowed with a satisfied expression.
From his expression, It appears that entering the Energy tank twice in a week is quite dangerous but this was Davids second time in the Energy Tank in the span of two days, no one knows what would happen.
