BIOLOGICAL SUPERCOMPUTER SYSTEM

<Good,> the young man thought. He got distracted for a moment by the sudden notification, which was enough for professor McAllister to notice.

"Erik!"

"What, sir?!"

"Stop daydreaming when you train!"

"Sorry, sir!"

The training then went on as usual, and after several hours, professor McAllister made the students stop.

"All right, guys, as you know, school will end in less than a month. This doesn't mean you will have to stop coming here to train since I'm responsible for all of you until you enroll in the military academy. I won't sugarcoat things but prepare for hell once you enroll at military school. The training will be gruesome; you will be asked to spar every day and forced to take several tests. There will also be competitions inside the school, so you better be prepared. Being the best student here doesn't mean anything there, especially considering that there will be students from other schools and they won't be a joke. Do you understand?!" Professor McAllister said.

"YES, SIR!" the students replied in unison.

"Dismissed."

The students then went toward the showers, Erik did the same, but as he was on his way, he got called by professor McAllister.

"Erik..."

The young man suddenly turned to look at his teacher.

"Yes, sir?" Erik said while looking at his teacher.

"Are you perhaps taking additional lessons at home?" the teacher asked.

"No, sir. Why?"

"You are not lying to me, right?" the teacher asked.

"No, sir..."

"Hmhmm... It looks like you are more talented than I expected," the teacher said with a smirk.

"Ehm... If I may ask, why are you saying so, sir?"

"Because you already move like you have done several months of training..."

"Really?" Erik internally smiled. He knew it was all thanks to the biological supercomputer, the information he injected inside his brain, and the increased dexterity.

"Don't get your head up, kiddo..." the teacher said slightly annoyedly. "You still have many things to learn, and you are not yet ready for sparring, and god only knows how much you need it."

"Yes...sir..."

"Just go now..." the teacher said.

"Yes, thank you, sir."

Erik then went to wash. As he finished, he found Amber, Gwen, and Floyd waiting for him outside of the shower room.

"Hey, Erik!" Amber said.

"Hi, guys!"

Floyd and Gwen gave each other glances and then looked back at their friend who was behaving out of character.

"Do you need another ride?" she asked while the young man approached the trio.

"Well, Uhm... if you don't mind..." Erik said, embarrassed; he also blushed a little bit.

The four students then went toward the main entrance, chatting along the way. After going through the gate, Erik noticed something unusual: people were staring at them.

At first, he didn't pay attention because he had seen such reactions before due to his condition. However, the stares grew stronger, some even pointing at him or making comments that he couldn't hear.

A few moments later, Erik realized what was happening because he was with Amber. She was a beauty, after all, and the school's trash, talking and walking with her was a weird sight to see.

At that point, Erik started getting suspicious about Amber's reason for approaching him. If she had purely good intentions, why didn't she approach him before he revealed he had another power?

***

Amber walked next to Erik and tried to talk to him, but he remained silent, which wasn't strange since he always kept himself distant from others.

After passing the gates, the students each went toward their respective cars. Still, Erik and Amber went toward the latter's vehicle. As he boarded the car, the student's whispers grew louder.

It didn't take much time before Erik arrived home. He and Amber talked about themselves during the trip, with Amber doing most of the work since Erik didn't even know what to tell her.

Erik politely said goodbye to the young woman and then went to his home. Once he was in, Erik made a sigh of relief. He wasn't used to talking to people, especially women, he didn't really know what to talk about, and he usually ended up saying embarrassing things.

The young man then slouched on the couch and rested for ten minutes; after that, he said, "System, start extracting the DNA from the Bush Hedgehog."

[SYSTEM READY. FIFTY DNA POINTS USED. COMMENCING EXTRACTION. HOST IS ADVISED TO LAY ON A BED.]

Erik lay down on the couch

As the system worked its magic, Erik felt the sensation of being pulled apart by invisible hands and started feeling the usual excruciating pain.

"UGH! I will never get used to this..." he said while suffering. As tears ran down his face, Erik held back his shouts until they were raspy whispers. Ten seconds later, his entire body started violently shaking. As the ache subsided, Erik slowly stood up until a notification rang inside his mind.

[YOUR DNA IS NOW ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE THE BUSH HEDGEHOG'S BRAIN CRYSTAL POWER.]

"Good, start the procedure," Erik said.

[BUSH HEDGEHOG'S BRAIN CRYSTAL ALREADY ANALYZED.]

[SYSTEM READY. DNA POINTS USED. COMMENCING EXTRACTION. TWO HOURS AND A HALF REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THE EXTRACTION. HOST IS ADVISED TO LAY ON A BED.]

Since he was already on the couch, Erik lay down on it. He closed his eyes, knowing that, as soon as the procedure ended, not only he would have a new power but also a new neural link. The young man closed his eyes, then the process began.

For two hours and thirty minutes, the extraction took place. During this long period, Erik was unconscious and unable to understand the changes that his body was undergoing. When the extraction was done, the young man woke up.

Erik opened his eyes, expecting to feel a surge of energy running through him. Instead, he felt nothing, as if the extraction never took place. Though, he knew it wasn't like that and immediately checked his status.
