"Aniyah, there's something fishy."
Zuri proclaimed ,her head resting atop the table.
"Yeah ,it seems all of us here have been fooled.
We aren't warriors of our civilization. We are weapons to eradicate humans."
Aniyah said with a sigh.
"They used a government approach, hence causing us to not doubt them,and now they want us to kill humans?"
Danso said ,anger evident in his voice.
"If we do not escape this place ,we will become like neto was before he left.
They would erase our Identities and make us empty shells for their cause."
Neo said with a calm voice.
"Or rather kill us,we have to escape or "die"
If the high ranks hunt us ,I fear we have no chance ."
Aniyah said, contemplating.
"And we need to find neto ,he is their best creation.
We have to get to him before they do."
-----‐------------
Neto entered the waiting hall.
Those who quit after achieving the goal stood here.
He found a corner to sit, pulled out his phone, and began playing a game for the few remaining hours.
--‐----------------‐-
AT A CONFRENCE
"What's there to explain? Did I do anything wrong?"
"Oh, that? You should have said so.
That was my purpose of creating them."
Shawn looked at the screen with an imposing smile.
"Defuse? You have no control here.
And you think my vakkari were created only in this country? Half baked, " He said with a smirk
You have crossed a line here Shawn, do you think you can handle the repercussions?>
"Don't make me laugh, humans ,you have no power outside your country.
Oh, and don't let the representatives find out ,that will be bad for you lot.
Just wait ,you all shall join the dead eventually. "

It's was the next day.
There weren't any classes today.
Neto stepped into the training room, his mind set on testing something.
He asked the instroctor of his class, who was beside the room.
"Good Morning, i intend to test something.
What is the structural limit of the walls in the room?"
"Oh morning Neto,to test a skill I presume?
The walls are made Orivium and engineered to tank any B-rank attack with minimal damage.
You can attack freely."
"Thanks "Neto nodded in appreciation.
Walking in he carresssed the walls ,his hand gliding atop it as he walked.
He looked at the holographic screen in front of him.

Within the silence he uttered ,"(STATE SHIFT ,KAINOS :20%)"
The training room was silent once again,then began to be filled only with the faint hum of the overhead lights and the metallic clicks of Neto's arm transforming.
His right arm, no longer flesh and blood, gleamed with an otherworldly sheen. Segments of sleek, blackened steel interlocked with mechanical precision, glowing faintly with blue veins of energy that pulsed in rhythm with his heartbeat. The faint hum of the arm's internal systems added an eerie presence to the room.
Neto's gaze was locked on the wall, his jaw twitched with a smirk.
His mechanical arm, an alien yet intimately connected part of him, thrummed with latent power in sequence with his heart beat.
He raised it, the blue glow intensifying as if the arm itself anticipated the violence to come.
He took a step back with a light inhale, his stance firm, every movement calculated.
Energy surged through his body, converging at his mechanical limb. The grooves along the arm deepened, glowing brighter, the energy within swirling like a storm contained in metal. His obsidian-like claws flexed, sharp tips faintly crackling with destructive potential.
With a slight exhale through his lips Neto hurled his fist forward, the mechanical arm releasing its full power.
A Defeaning sound resounded.
The impact was devastating.
A shockwave rippled through the training room.
The reinforced floor beneath Neto's feet cratered, shallow fractures radiating outward like jagged lightning.
The wall absorbed the brunt of the strike, its surface erupting with a burst of sparks as the metallic plating warped inward. The Orivium-infused concrete beneath groaned audibly, cracks spreading like spiderwebs, but it held. The glow from Neto's arm dimmed, the energy within dissipating into the air in faint trails of blue light ,returning the arm to a human form.
Neto staggered back, staring at the wall. His breathing was heavy, his jaw clenched as he examined the massive dent he'd left. The wall remained standing, defiant, but the damage was undeniable.
'An attack of this is B -ranked.
Such a broken transformation, it sort of like the transformation some S-Ranks and God tiers have.
It boosts my strength stat
If I have enough energy to activate both this and Disconnection simultaneously would boost the damage.'
--
[Energy:40/270<1/min>]

"But the transformation takes too much energy ,I can only punch once after activation.
It drains energy per second.
If my energy finishes using my body's own as substitution is a bad idea."
"That is a really powerful attack."
A voice came from behind.
Turning he saw the instructor of his class.
"Having ur 3rd ability this early? So much talent."
"Thank you "
"Remember no to force it,if you use it irregularly it may cause irreversible damage to you."
"I will try not to ,thank you sir."
"Not a problem, it's my pleasure to help such a talented young man .
You can go ,let me not hold."
'Talents are brewing ,the future looks bright-"
Something hit,landing in the center of the center of the training ground compound .
Something? It stretched its hands and more people began appearing.
"WE ARE THE VARKARI, FOLLOW OUR CAUSE OR DIE."
The thought through everyone's head was ,that this had to be a show of power.
There were about a hundred of the "vakkari"
In a school where only the students were already above that number.
A student voiced out."What is this cause of urs?"
"We shall weed out every weakness from our race,we shall kill every human on this planet."
The supposed leader said in a demeaning voice.
○○○○○○
"SIR" Someone burst into the office of the overseer
"Calm down segun.
I see them."
Ayo Nifemi stood his eyed glowing as he stared to the side.
"Give the rank 1 to 10 a mission, to eliminate the intruders."
"The students? Isn't it too much for them?."
"Not really,their strongest would struggle against the rank 2 or 1.
The students should do well if they pick the right opponents. "
"Okay sir."
○○○○○○○○○
Neto was leaving the training hall when he heard the loud thud.
Going out side to check what had happened, he saw the entourage of the mutant like enerioms he saw at the facility.
While stil confused he heard a chim from his wrist band.
[ Eliminate the intruders.
Rewards :2000 Academy credits per elimination.
Note: Use any means necessary. ]
'Use any means necessary? ,does this mean we can kill the?.'
Unknown to him his face morphed from a confused look to a slight grin.
Those included in the rank 1 to 10 looked up with a smile.
Running towards them neto constructed a staff.
And suddenly he was infront of one of these so called vakkari.
Reinforcing his fist he bashed at his head ,completely destroying the head.
Everyone paused for a second in shock as the body slumped.
This kid didn't have any conscience of killing someone in first contact.
Blood on his face ,neto smiled.
The staff in the other hand morphed into a spear ,then it extended forward ripping through anyone in contact.
Until it made contact with someone's hand and stopped.
It was at this moment the rest joined the fray,the other students intended to join ,but received warning not to
Or they would get severe consequences.
Looking at the person who stopped his staff ,he looked familiar.
He held a staff on his shoulder in a calm posture.
His staff coated in golden markings wedged against his shoulder, one arm hooked over it in a relaxed grip.
The weight of the weapon rested effortlessly across his back, as if it were an afterthought rather than a tool of battle.
His posture was loose, almost indifferent, yet there was an undeniable sharpness in his gaze.
His facial features were Ape-like.
The man tilted his head to the side as well ,as if in contemplation.
Then a voice was heard.
"Steve?"
