Chapter 29 Bionics And Psionics Acquired!



Dante downloaded the school's information and was given a full and total understanding of the Eternal Academy, the rules, the layout, the schedule for his classes, the schedule for other's classes, extracurricular activities, the benefits, entertainment options, and most of all, the school shop.

He was also granted his Student ID which gave him access to all these facilities and more. As you might expect, in order to cut itself off from outside influence, the school had its own internal currency.

This currency was called the Supercoin, because the main theme of the school was superpowers.

Naturally, this left Dante speechless.

He wasn't going to go through everything one by one but would experience each and every one of these things for himself. Seeing as the day was fresh, he got up and planned to take advantage of one of the free benefits that came with not only being a student, but being a student of the Unique Batch.

It was time for Dante to install his Bionics and Psionics!

The young man couldn't conceal his excitement at the thought and had no plans to, wearing a pokerface like he was some unfeeling bastard was not really comfortable and did not represent his true character in any way.

He took the teleporter to the Institution of Student Enhancements. Here, whether it was Bionics, Psionics, upgraded AI chips, or gene enhancers, students could access them all as long as they had enough Supercoin to pay.

ραndαsnοvεl.cοm You could not buy Supercoin with external money, not even with the powerful Etran. Only internally validated methods that Dante would partake in later could gather Supercoin. He put them in his plans after acquiring his enhancements.

He was spat out of the teleporter into the lobby and saw that the building was semi-empty. After all, it was not like Supercoins were easy to farm for students so that they could continually upgrade and each upgrade cost leagues more than the previous one.

So even with a large continent-like landmass with probably millions of living beings on it, this building was only half full. Dante remembered the rules of the academy and went to a nearby 3D printer to create a badge that was imprinted on his chest.

It was a purple color badge with a number in the middle which was his student ID. Among the various student ranks, Grey was for Normal Batch students, Gold for was the Elite Batch, Purple was for the Unique Batch and Black were for staff/workers.

Seeing the purple on his badge, many of the grey-badged and gold-badged students glanced at Dante with envy and hints of hatred, making him frown. It seemed like the classism of students in this academy caused greater negative feelings to brew than he thought.

He ignored everyone and headed to one of the counters. It was manned by an android staff as the number of organic beings in the entire Eternal Academy's workforce was limited to prevent intrusion and interference from outside factions.

"Hello student, how can I help you today?" The Android asked in a pleasant androgynous tone.

"I'd like to receive my student standard Bionic and Psionic upgrade package," Dante replied with a smile.

"Not a problem. Before we begin the procedure, I have to ask for health and safety reasons, did you have any previous Bionics or Psionics installed?" The Android asked while a holographic screen flashing with numbers appeared before it.

"None." Dante denied it with a shake of his head.

"That's for the best. Also, would you please upload your SDI into the database so we can gauge how the various Bionic and Psionic types we have in stock will affect you?" The Android requested with a smile.

To this, he hesitated. He had already learned his lesson from the orientation and it was clear that this academy had no scruples. However, he definitely was not going to lie or withhold information from his 'doctor' when something very powerful and dangerous was going to be inserted into his body.

As such, he obediently uploaded the details and just hoped for the best. If it ever came to bite him in the ass, he would accept it and seek revenge on this academy doubly for the earlier transgression as well.

After all, cough cough, he had the backing of a fourth-dimensional being right? Dante forcefully thickened his skin and decided to self-appoint himself as that higher dimensional being's number 1 crony.

The higher-dimensional being was left speechless.

Dante was brought into a high-tech operating room with a platform. He was instructed to lie on the table which then lifted itself up to an inclined position. While Dante was beginning to feel nervous, his AI chip immediately received a command and relayed it to Dante.

Dante accepted the command, which was to apply natural anesthesia in the form of being asleep, so his chip released the required hormones that soon had Dante close his eyes tiredly.

Hi AI chip 'watched' the entire process like a hawk as they injected Dante with nanites that began to burrow into his flesh, bones, organs, and marrow. As they began constructing the framework of his bionical enhancements, another needle was plugged into his spine.

These nanites rushed toward his nerves, lymph nodes, and mostly to his brain. Each of these nanites worked separately but extremely efficiently, getting the job done in under 20 minutes each. If one looked at Dante's body on the inside, one would note that his internals looked less human and more robotic.

Where they had been a red sheen due to blood, they were now a greyish-white sheen that made his body feel firmer, yet more metallic.

Dante's body was connected to a nutrient supplement and then pumped with the juice crazily. His AI chip was then given the go-ahead to wake him up and when it did, Dante's first reaction was to ask how everything went since he was not really groggy at all.

However, anything he wanted to say was sicked back into his mouth as he gasped deeply, his body shrinking rapidly like someone was sucking his internals out with a straw. NovεluSb.COm

Immediately, the attached nutrient solutions pumped him with tons of juice, and his body slowly filled out till it reached its previous state. Dante's pained expression relaxed greatly as he began to breathe out, feeling like his previously empty body was now somewhat full.

He then felt fear. He had been warned about the side effects of installing Bionics and Psionics the first time, especially in the case of Bionics, so he was not too shocked.

After the nanites build the relevant enhancements within his body, it would be like an engine or a generator. It would need a spark to ignite the propulsion and fuel to keep it going. In this case, when his consciousness returned and the enhancements kicked in, they began drawing the fuel which was his body's power.

This was why the nutrient solution was necessary. However, thanks to advancements in the technology of enhancements, Bionics and Psionics were much more efficient and manageable than before.

It was more like a coolant system, where you only filled the tank once and it would cycle the same liquid over and over again. So Dante did not need to do anything more at this point, nor would it suddenly cause an increase in appetite or other such changes.

Dante was released from the table and landed on his feet. Immediately, he felt the difference when his legs met the ground. It felt less like he was standing on a pair of fleshy feet and more like he was standing on two alloy soles.

His entire body felt full of power and sturdiness. Dante was not hallucinating, he could quite literally stand for a heavy-duty truck to hit his head on and he probably wouldn't even take a step back.

Dante felt a surge of confidence emerge from his heart as he took a few steps forward to test his enhanced abilities. The transformation was astounding. His every movement was smoother, faster, and more precise than ever before. It was as if he had unlocked a hidden potential, a power waiting to be harnessed.

As Dante walked through the halls of the Institution of Student Enhancements to head to his next destination, he couldn't help but notice the curious glances from other students.

Some of them were in awe of his aura which radiated more power than before, while others seemed envious of his newfound strength.

Dante shook his head and decided to check his SDI.

With his body now reinforced with bionics and psionics, Dante felt a surge of gratitude towards his extra-dimensional benefactor.
