Blood Assimilation

Randy reached his hand out to grab the blood-red spear with its ghastly appearance that struck fear just by looking at it. However Randy was unperturbed by this spear's appearance as he looked into the void in front of his eyes while holding unto the spear.

Soon, a few lines of texts begun to appear on the screen one after another.

⟪[[Discovered the weapon: Crimson Demonic Spear]]⟫

⟪[[Crimson Demonic Spear(Artifact)]]⟫

⟪[[Rank: S]] ⟫

⟪[[Weapon Property: Blood Ray(A)]⟫

⟪[[Description: This was a powerful divine spear once used by spear genius who lost to the Demon General, Kahnat, thus acquiring this Divine Spear for himself. By utilizing inexplicable methods, the Demon General turned this Divine Spear into a Demonic Spear enabling it to attain a new weapon property, Blood Ray. After going through countless of battles with the Demon General Kahnat, the spear has lost most of its durability, causing its rank to decrease over time.]] ⟫

Randy took a deep breath and breathed out slowly when he saw this weapon's description. And then, he suddenly thought of something.

'No wonder, this spear looks ghastly bloody red in color. It turns out it was used by a demon general. But what is this about it being a divine spear wielded by a spear genius? Does that mean that it used to contain a different weapon property instead of this blood ray?' Randy wondered to himself after reading through the description.

And then he proceeded to wait for a few moments.

And sure enough, a new notification popped up on the screen in front of his eyes with new lines of texts appearing one after another.

⟪[[Discovered and derived hidden skills from the Crimson Demonic Spear]]⟫

⟪[[First Derived Hidden Technique: Untraceable Shallow Spear Art(unknown)]]⟫

⟪[[Second Derived Hidden Technique: Destructive Demonic Spear Technique(S)]]⟫

⟪[[Would you like record these hidden skills and hidden techniques for comprehension?]]⟫

"Yes!" Randy replied with an enthusiastic voice, his expression was that of someone who had won a lottery on their first try at this moment.

'Don't be ridiculous, with just the rank of these skills and techniques, who in their right minds would not record them and comprehend them later?'

After receiving his response, a new notification popped up with a few lines of texts.

⟪[[Recording these skills and techniques in succession would take approximately 3 minutes to complete, would you like proceed right away?"]]⟫

"Yes, just do it already!" Randy urged the system as he could feel his heart beating so loud as if it would jump out of his chest at any moment.

⟪[[Recording in progress. Please wait…]]⟫

And thus, Randy waited for two minutes and half and all of a sudden, he heard a voice behind his back startling him.

"What do you think you are doing?" The voice asked.

Randy did not reply right away as his attention was focused on the system's display screen in front of his eyes.

…

When he saw that there was only about five seconds left until the completion of the recording, Randy smiled in delight. However the voice from earlier resounded again this time with a hint of anger.

"I said what do you think you are doing?" The voice demanded in a stern voice.

After pondering for a bit, Randy turned around to face the beautiful female police officer and her subordinates with an amicable smile on his face before carefully explaining the situation to them.

…

Back to the present.

Randy thought of various things as he took his shower in the gym with a soothing cold water running from the shower head. Randy obviously had a shower next to his own room, but he likes taking shower in the gymnasium more often than not.

In truth, their entire family itself likes to take their shower in the gymnasium whenever they come back after going out but due to the females' section of the bath being so close the males' section, in order to prevent any complications, they had him wait until they were done before it was finally his turn to take his shower.

Leaving that aside, right now it was currently early June, and it was almost summertime, since school was about to end in a week or two, then the remaining weeks is a break, followed by the university entrance examination in the beginning of July. Next week would either be review time, or some training boot camp to practice individual abilities and techniques.

But before that, Randy must inform the school of his awakening somehow and as naturally as possible without causing any unwanted attention to himself. Thinking about this, Randy felt a headache. He does not even know the name of his 'Class,' let alone how to explain his ability to others; for now, he would think about how to do that later.

As for his current plans for tomorrow, which happens to be Sunday, he would try to test out his abilities which he failed to do so today because he had overslept and also learn more about this 'Knowledge Points" and the other functions of his upgraded system.

'Should I use the virtual simulator to practice virtual combat as usual now that I have awakened or maybe I should go to the forest and hunt some mutated beasts and see if I can get my hands on those 'knowledge points' the system talked about. Which one is more important to me right now…' Randy wondered with a pondering look as he walked out of the bathroom.

"Ah"

After coming out of shower and was feeling refreshed. Suddenly Randy made a slight sound upon recalling something that he had almost forgotten about.

'That's right, I almost forgot about the blood I secretly stashed away when I drained that burglar of his blood earlier. Where did I put it?' Randy thought as he moved to pick up his pant that was in his laundry bag.

Randy rummage through the pockets of his pant to look for a certain case.

After searching a certain pocket, he found a contact lenses case. This was a contact lenses case that he always used to store his contact lenses. However, at this time, it was used to store something else instead. The case itself was not big but it was long. It has a cylindrical shape, the size of one's thumb, perhaps slightly bigger in diameter, nevertheless, it was just enough to store contact lenses. This case was made to be squeezed and turned around clockwise to reveal the contact lenses inside.

As for the reason why Randy had this case for holding contact lenses, one might think that maybe he was getting blind or something like that, but you would be wrong to think so. Ever since he turned ten years old, he suddenly felt like he could see clearly. Well, if was just that, then there was no problem with that, after all, who would not celebrate or show some sort of reaction about the fact that they had a near perfect eyesight?

However, that was not the case for Randy, it was not that he could see clearly, it was just that he could see way too clearly to the point where he started seeing other things besides people, like sprites of light which were sometimes blinding for the young Randy.

Due to that, his parents decided to get him a specialize contact lenses that would suppress this eyesight of his. It was quite unusual for them to not seek help from a specialize doctor but instead acquiring the contact lenses on their accord to provide for the young Randy. Nevertheless, Randy had been wearing his contact lenses ever since then. Whenever he took them out, and look in the mirror, he could see eyes glowing in grey light amidst all the sprites of lights.

At the time, his parents thought that he had finally awaken his ability, but unfortunately, it appears that was not the case since usually when one awakens their innate ability, there would be a sudden increase in their overall energy, whether it be magical energy, spiritual energy, Life energy, mental energy and so on.

Regrettably, even with this eye trait of his, the evaluation machine still read him as not fulfilling the minimum energy requirement, no, to be precise, it did not even show any readings at all on the screen as if he did not even have any energy compatibility in the first place. Randy shook his head to get rid of these traumatizing memories that he does not want to recall at this point in time.

Randy turned his attention to the cylindrical case in his hand and opened the bottle with 'pop' sound, there was nothing in the cylindrical case besides a red liquid.

"Phew… it is still in here." Randy sighed in relief.

He then used his Blood Authority skill to control the red liquid out of the bottle, floating in front of his eyes. Randy could not get enough of this feeling of absolute control over blood that resulted in a somewhat telekinetic ability, although Randy could feel like it was very different from an actual telekinesis as he does not feel like he was using his mental energy during this process of controlling the blood.

He then stared at the glistening liquid for a while and then wondered, "Should I just put it in my mouth or…"

After thinking for a bit, Randy moved his hand and used his Blood Authority skill to temporarily solidify the blood and held it in his palm.

Followed by a series of notifications from the system, as lines of texts started displaying themselves on the holographic screen in front of eyes.
