Armageddon: Defying Fate

Instructor Yama

"500 task points, for any new student that performs exemplary feats in next tournament"

"800 task points, for any cow species killed after the 3000-meter mark, the body is to be delivered to the cafeteria."

………..

"Help instructor Yama in finding, materials needed, for making evolutionary liquid, your task points will be decided by instructor Yama himself"

Kiran looked over at all the tasks given by the Academy, most of them had high task points, but the tasks could only be completed after entering deeper into the wild, beyond 3000 meters mark.

"The academy is seriously ruthless, they are really tempting students to go beyond 3000 meters mark"

Kiran had been waiting for the release of the Academy tasks, but now he was disappointed,

Most of the tasks that had a lot of points were beyond the 3000 meters Mark in the wild.

He needed points, but he was not ready to put his life in danger yet,

He looked over at the last task, given from the academy, it was to help instructor Yama in getting materials for evolutionary liquid, he was a bit interested in this task, he had always wanted to learn more about evolutional liquid, but the task points from the task wasn't specified.

Kiran thought for a moment before deciding.

"Instructor Yama task it is"

The moment he selected instructor Yama's task, more information appeared on the transponder screen, it contained instructor Yama's location, and he was to report there in the next 20 minutes.

After Kiran, finished reading the information, he now understood why the old students, were anxious about the school tasks, the tasks normally come out once a month, and each student was to complete a single task, before the end of the month, or 200 points would be deducted from their task points.

And if they didn't have up to 200 points, the task points would be dedicated whenever they got up to that amount.

This was put in place so the students wouldn't become complacent and lazy because of the freedom given to them by the Academy.

Kiran sent a message to Airra and Sam, informing them of his ware about in case they came looking for him.

........

Kiran had never been to the instructor quarters before, no student was allowed entry into the place without permission, the quarters was located at the far northern side of the Academy, there was a short fence dividing it from the rest of the Academy.

Kiran came in front of a little gate, at the entry of the instructor quarters. The gate was short, and the fence surrounding the quarters was also short, but he could not see beyond it, it was all blurry as if something was separating the quarters from the rest of the Academy, Kiran was about to open the gate when it slowly opened itself,

Even after the gate was open, he still could not see clearly, he stepped into the gate, he felt repressed, as if there was a field of energy barring his path, he forced his body with a little bit of force, and he entered the place, if someone was outside looking at Kiran when he entered, they would say he disappeared because no sight of Kiran could be found outside as he entered the gate.

The moment Kiran stepped into the quarters, he felt as if something heavy had hit his chest, even his breath had almost stopped, he panicked,

"What the hell is this"

Kiran thought in his mind, he could not speak, the air felt as if there was a lead in it, and it was rushing and attacking his entire body,

"I would die if I keep staying here"

As he was about to turn around and run back. He heard a voice from his transponder.

"Student Kiran Hamza has been permitted to enter and exit the instructor quarters until his task is completed, he is only allowed to visit instructor Yama's quarters, during his stay."

Immediately after the voice ended, an invisible film of energy surrounded his body, and he felt he could breathe again.

A map and an indicator, directing him to instructor Yama's quarters also appeared in his transponder.

"Damm it, why is there this much security here"

He could feel some kind of energy, surrounding his entire body, it was as if it was protecting him from the surrounding air.

He quickly followed the indicator to instructor Yama's quarters, he didn't want to keep the instructor waiting.

He followed the indicator until he was led to a house, which was surrounded by lots of flowers and plants, you could easily see that everything here had been planted.

He went close to the door and knocked

"Hello instructor Yama, I am Kiran Hamza, I accepted a task from the Academy to help you get Materials for evolutionary liquid.

A hoarse voice came from inside the house, " come inside"

Kiran opened the door as he heard the voice,

Inside the house was strange, he doubts it was even a house, the place was more like a lab, they were long tables with various equipment meant for experiments on top of the tables, the chairs were long and not exactly comfortable, you could see, there were not designed as comfortable chairs.

As Kiran was moving along the tables, inspecting the equipment on top,

The instructor's voice came again,

"Don't touch anything, if you damage as much as a layer of my table, I will deduct that from your task points"

Kiran immediately stood still as he heard the man, he could not afford to lose his task points because of his carelessness.

"So you are that Kiran boy, I have been hearing about, dual body and energy evolutionist.

" yes sir," Titan answered.

"Do you understand what you are supposed to do for me?"

"I am to help instructor Yama, acquire materials for evolutionary liquid" Kiran astutely answered

"You are not helping me boy, you are doing work and I am paying" the instructor retorted.

"What is your level of evolution"

"7th level sir"

During the week Kiran had managed to increase his strength once again to the 7th level of basic evolution.

"Well that's decent for your age, you have managed to increase your strength faster than anyone has in the history of the Academy"

"But don't be complacent, you are still weak, and cannot get all the materials I need, I require two sets of materials, one from evolved monsters and the other from plants,"

Kiran understood when the instructor said he was too weak, the carcass of the evolved monsters the instructor needed were located beyond the 3000 meters mark.

"I have sent information about the plants I need to your transponder, remember to make a point of intricate details of the plants, a lot of the plants might look exactly alike, but are different and might not be the one I want, since it's hard to differentiate between the plants I want and I ones I don't, just get me any plant that looks at least 80% like the plants I have sent you"

As Kiran looked through the information, he understood what instructor Yaman meant, the plants looked too similar to popular plants found in the wild, he could remember he had seen something similar to these plants before during his hunt.

This was really going to be difficult, what if he brought all the plants he could find, and none of them were the ones the Instructor wanted.

"Instructor is there another way of differentiating the plants," Moran asked

"Well, there is one, though it not feasible for you"

"Please what is it, " Kiran asked anxiously

"Their scent, you can only distinguish them with their scents,"

Kiran's head lit up as he heard that, he had a photographic memory and could remember anything he saw or smelled.

"Sir please can I, see the sample of the plants"

"It's pointless for you to try and remember the scent, you would always forget it"

"I kind of, have always remembered what I see and smell, am sure I can remember the smell correctly"

He didn't hear a reply from the instructor for some seconds, before the hoarse voice was heard once again, this time louder than usual, as if the owner of the voice was coming close to him

"Are you joking with me kid?"

Kiran finally saw the instructor as his voice fell, he was an old man, wearing a white lab coat, with white ruffled hair and beard, with his appearance you could see he had been working for a long time.

"I certainly am not, instructor, I have a photographic memory"

"Normally, I wouldn't believe you, but you are already an abnormal person, photographic memory, isn't that strange when it's applied to you"

The instructor brought out several plants and passed them to Kiran, Kiran collected the plants and sniffed them one by one, storing their scents in his head.

He returned the plants to instructor Yama.

"Boy I really hope as you say, you really can remember their scents, if u really can, they might be a chance of you learning how to make an evolutionary liquid from me," the instructor said smiling

Kiran's head banged as he heard that, he had always been fascinated about evolutionary liquids, and most of all, it was his gateway to unlimited points and money, every one knew the scientists making evolutionary liquid were the richest in the entire continent.

Every evolutionist needed evolutionary liquid, and only they could provide it.

"Thank you, sir, I would not disappoint you," Kiran said joyfully.

"Off you go, and remember not to go beyond the 3000 meters mark, you are not that strong yet"

Kiran thanked the instructor and quickly left the man's house, as he walked towards the gate, Kiran could not help but fantasize about the endless points he would have in the future if he became the instructor's student.

Instructor Yaman was the top scientist in the field of evolutionary liquid in the entire Green city, a lot of students had always wanted to learn from him, but he had always declined them, but today he wanted to teach Kiran, a feat most students would only dream of.
