Chapter 13 - DR MEAROV

A few hours later...

Ah, finally we came to the snow-white city, it looks magnificent with huge towers glass buildings, skyscrapers I mean whatnot, the streets are very clean many people are walking down crowded, patrol guards are everywhere.

looks like each street is different, one particular street is full of high-end restaurants, others are Shopping mall, and Hospitals. I can't help but sigh, I never visited any other place except orphanage streets! It's a real eye-opener.

As we walked across the streets, I asked Uncle James to visit the research facility as soon as possible! As much as I like to visit every place in the city it is best to complete our work.

"Lad, I thought you like to look at few places considering your first visit here since you want to finish our work, Let's go now. Zack, Dr Mearov is a good person, try to give a good impression as much as possible, if he likes you he will help you whenever it needed". Uncle James said to me.

"I will try Uncle James" I told him, I thought in my heart. How easy to create a first impression. I don't want to pretend to like someone else, But if the conversation is interesting let's be open-minded as much as possible.

Nowadays my entire thought is occupied by one single thing. Qualification test for the academy nothing else, Uncle James told me before Dr Mearov had something that will help me get good grades in the test.

Soon we came to a place! high tech building with huge A. I Screen which shows Dr Mearov Photos and his inventions! He looks tall, old with a white long beard I believe he is in his late sixties, no one is sure about his age maybe he will turn out to be an old monster.

"Lad let's go, I already called him he is here". Uncle James opened the front door.We walked in, soon the receptionist saw us, she recognized uncle immediately made a gesture to move to the upstairs room! she looks beautiful tho I laughed internally! hope it turns out to be a good day.

Dr Mearov, you look energetic as ever, looks like your research is moving forward! Mr James told Dr Mearov. Dr Mearov's room is full of books is not in an orderly manner his front table is covered with full of research papers and scribble notes and he is messing with the high-end tab scribbling something.

"Oh, James, both of you come and sit in a chair".Dr Mearov told them.

"So he is your junior looks handsome, by his outfit I confirm that he will be recruited in an ARMY Squad future. Considering the SAFE ZONE 1012 is under ARMY Federation.He is one of many promising young samplings in this zone". Dr Mearov told.

"Dr Mearov, Zack got the Saw Scale Viper Academy quota, and he is in a D grade institution. Warrior techniques and affinity totem were provided by the academy, according to the grades candidate get in a qualification test, but we all know no one buys that because all the candidates got their warrior technique and totem forehand from their representative organization and clans".

"You know that I need huge credit for that, I exhaust all my credit by getting a D Grade institution quota for Zack. So I need your help with this". Mr James told to Dr Mearov.

"Brat, I know your visit is intentional since you gave me the core X. this kid Zack looks pleasing to the eye but I don't know he will take the risk, because you know about the totem, it is dangerous and we don't know this kid's affinity ". Dr Mearov told us.

Man, their conversation is very confusing. It is the first time I have heard about totem and warrior techniques. Most of the techniques I heard about are mostly associated with weapons that warriors use. I sighed internally. It's better to ask the question to this elder why bother about something I don't know. Zack asked questions to Elder.

"Uh-hmm Elder Dr Mearov I have a question can you explain it to me?".

It is good that the brat is taking initiative, Mr. James looked happy.

"Oh, Zack looks like you are not a pushover. ask anything?" Dr Mearov asked. He is impressed with Zack's boldness.

"What are the totem and Warrior techniques?". Zack finally asked.

After listening to his question Dr Mearov answered.

"If warrior needs to level-up from Trainee Apprentice to Special Apprentice and later stages. He needs technique so that he can use his body meridians and veins to channel the world energy and move toward the totem, and totem statue attracts the world energy purifies it and store it in our dantian".

"later you use any weapon technique to channel this stored energy to attack monsters with weapons, this is a basic concept so warrior technique and totem statue were the combos that every warrior needs; world energy is complex, it is mostly associated with the affinity of warriors".

"There are various warrior techniques and totems, those biggest clans have clan heritage they use a single ancient warrior technique, once the clan warrior uses the technique the totem statue manifests itself in the dantian".

"So those kinds of techniques are rare and even in clans, very few clans have it.

As human civilization developed, the need for those techniques, monopoly, and pressure of various organizations reduced..The later researcher-developed several combo techniques based upon warriors' affinity, that's why we call them affinity totems".
