Chapter 324: Brink of Death

Chapter 324: Brink of Death

A week passed since Miles returned to the Academy. He visited his friends and celebrated their New Year as well. He bought them small confectionery from the capital but didnt accept any gift from them. The academy had limited opportunities, and wasting merits over gifts wasnt logical.

The first thing he did was visit Dean Milosh. Evelyn sent a flash drive with some of the research she had over mechs. There was also a piece of energy equalizer. Since it was important, Evelyn wanted Miles to be the one to bring it. It was the reason why he was given the task in the first place.

The next thing on his list was, taking orders again. He already finished crafting all the items on his list before he left. Now that people saw his items, more and more people were interested in his crafts. Miles took the opportunity and gathered some metals in the capital while he was there. Although he could ask Zall and Xavic, it was still better for him to do the purchasing.

After finishing everything on his list, Miles was finally ready to use the second serum of F-Series. His energy was as dense as it could be. After using fruit, his energy quantity skyrocketed. After reaching a certain amount, it stopped rising. Miles thought that he already capped the quantity, and now had to increase the quality of his energy.

Other hunters would increase their mastery over superpowers to increase the quality of their powers. After all, the density of their energy was parallel to their superpowers. A fire elemental user could make his flames hotter and stronger to make his energy denser. And a person with sword hands would increase the hardness of his hands. People with superpowers could practice their superpowers and energies at the same time. Miles, on the other hand, had to increase his energy by exhausting it and replenishing again and again.

He of course could mimic their training with other techniques. Such as forming better weapons from energy. But it wasnt as rewarding as using it in real combat. So, he would often practice his moves and replenish his exhausted energy to increase its density.

When he was in the capital, he finally felt that his energy couldnt get any denser nor could he increase the amount. It wasnt alarming to feel the barrier. It was only serving as a threshold. After he passed through this hurdle, he would be advanced to the middle-tier of Form-Rank.

At least, that was what he thought a week ago.

Miles opened his eyes but even his eyelids were aching. He noticed white walls and the quilt over him and opined he must be in a hospital. Well, the IV attached to his arm was also increasing the possibility.

Miles, you are awake! Coins voice reverberated in the room when he felt Miless movements.

What happened? Miles asked hardly. His throat was dry, his whole body was hurting.

Let me explain. A voice came and Milosh entered the room. You almost died.

Miles already realized that, so he didnt answer and let the man continue. Where did you get the serum?

Merlin gave it to me. He answered. Milosh thought then discarded the idea.

So, it is not the serum that is faulty, but you are.
