Beast Mutation - 4 Ch.3 Bloodline Testing

Entering the town hall, Karol looked around his peers to find someone, and after looking around, he found him sitting at the corner of the rest of the group. “There he is,” Karol said to Ellie pointing towards the boy.

Then they started walking towards the boy, and Karol then tapped on his shoulder to get his attention. The boy turns around, he had black hair with golden eyes looking at Karol, The boy was Robert also Karol’s best friend, or you can also call him his only friend. “Robert, You didn’t even wait for me, huh?” Karol said, looking at the Robert. “If you have come a little earlier, then I would have,” Robert said with a sarcastic smile.

“Well I am on time, it’s just that you like being early,” Karol replied. “Well, I don’t want to be like certain someone,” Robert said, laughing. “You..but enough about that but where are uncle and aunty,” Karol asked changing the topic. “Oh, they will come after the testing,” Robert replied.

“Oh, then after the testing, why don’t we three tour festival,” Karol asked. “Sure, I have no problem,” Ellie replied with a smile. “Only if you don’t act as a money-grubber,” Robert said, sighing. “Huh, what is the problem with that,” Karol asked with a confused face. “Even though I have told you many times, why do you always ask that question?” Robert said with a severe tone. “Huh, what do you mean by that?” Karol said with a smile while making a confused face.

“You…” Robert fumed. Hearing that Karol just laughed and said, “I am sorry about that; it’s just fun teasing you like that.” Just as Robert was about to say something, Ellie interfered them and said, “Hey, guys, the mayor is here.” Both of them quietened down and looked towards the stage.

A muscular man can be seen walking up to the stage with a strange transparent spherical object in his hand; the spherical object will be used to check their bloodline level. The man was the Mayor of town and also known as the mayor hunk due to his muscular body.

The Mayor then put the spherical object on the podium, then he looked towards the children sitting on their places and said, “Soon you guys are going to enter the world of the Absorbers, and as a representative, I would like to welcome you all….”

As the Mayor Speech was still going on, “So, what are plans after becoming an Absorbers.” Ellie whispered. “Well, I would probably go to the Berth Academy,” Robert replied. “Same for me, and what about you?” Karol asked as he has the same plan. “That’s great as I will also be going there and we all can support each other there,” Ellie said with an excited face. Hearing that Robert and Karol both just nodded their head with a smile.

“Once I become an Absorber, I will surely be able to earn a lot of money,” Karol said with an excited face. “Instead of going for the money, you should try to earn the honour.” Robert retaliated. “Your honour is not going to feed my stomach,” Karol replied. “But money is not going to give you respect from people,” Robert said. “Money.” “Honour.” “Money.” “Honour.”

“Both of you keep quiet,” Mayor shouted, looking at both of them. Everyone started to laugh at them, and both of them silently sat there with an embarrassed face. “You guys just fight for one thing, and the topic is always that. Can’t you guys accept each other difference.” Ellie said, shaking her head, hearing that both of them snorted.

“Robert, come ahead,” Mayor said after his speech was over. Robert was confused why was he called out when Ellie said, “It’s your turn for the test.” Hearing that Robert nodded his head. “All the best,” Karol said with a smile. “Thanks,” Robert said and walked towards the Mayor.

“How do you guys are best friends? I still can’t able to understand that.” Ellie said after their sudden change in behaviour. “Even I don’t know that it just that we are,” Karol said laughing, hearing that Ellie just shakes her head.

“Here prick your finger with this,” Mayor said, giving Robert a needle. Taking the needle, Robert pricked his finger. “Put your finger on that sphere,” Mayor said. Robert then put his bloodied finger on the spherical object, and the spherical object started glowing.

After the glow disappeared, there was seven red light inside the sphere. “Oh! You got a level 7 bloodline.” Mayor said with a surprised face. “Thank you,” Robert said with a smile and started to walk towards Karol and Ellie with a huge grin.

“You got pretty lucky. Congratulations on becoming an absorber.” Karol said with a smile as level 7 bloodline is above average level. “Hehe, Just you wait how I will surpass you,” Robert said, laughing. “We will see,” Karol replied with a smile. “You guys don’t start to fight once again,” Ellie said with a desperate face. “Ah, don’t worry about that.” Both of them said at the same time, and they started laughing.

“Ellie come ahead,” Mayor said after few more test happened, but not a single one was able to surpass Robert level. “All the best.” Karol cheered her with a smile. “Thanks,” Ellie replied and started to walk towards the Mayor nervously.

“Don’t worry kid and just take a deep breath,” Mayor said as he realised Ellie was still nervous. Ellie then nodded and took a deep breath to calm her nerves. “Here take this,” Mayor said, giving her the needle. Ellie took the needle and pricked her finger with it. Then she put her bloodied finger on the spherical object, and just as she put her finger on the object, it started to glow with light more luminous then Robert.
