The weapon dealer's son

Chapter 30: Learn to fly.

‘See what we can do!’  after connecting the 10 kg of cluster fabric to the bracelet, Adam touched the bracelet on Mela’s hand to allow the symbiote to access it.

[Scanning…

Accessing code data…

Neutralizing fire walls…

Limiters found, Limiters removed.

Full version unlocked.

System code improved.

Building defensive measures…

Upgrade successful.

Would you like to connect to this core?]

“This is amazing…!” Adam murmured as the bracelet slowly changed and absorbed some cluster fabric.

He watched the entire process, as a normal core turned into a super military grade core. ‘How can a system core sold to civilian have the potential to become a top military core with all the technology and devices included!’

Adam wondered about if the core did have this potential on its own, and the factory was too stingy to create two different production lines for civilian and military use. Or was the symbiote this great, that it could turn normal cores into super cores by removing the limitations and improving them beyond human capabilities.

Or maybe the factory did have an idea about it and they had a different use for this hidden potential. Unfortunately, Adam didn’t have enough time to ponder these questions. As he needed to escape city 17 before Keet starts the fireworks.

‘No! Just keep an emergency communication channel, and conceal the military grade options from any outside scan!’ Adam didn’t want to have control over Mela or spy on her, she’s his friend, nothing is more valuable than that to him.

Keeping the emergency channel is a defensive measure in the unlikely case of the core being discovered, or Mela gets herself in a dangerous situation. He didn’t want his gift to her to be the end of her.

“Was that the magic! Is it going to create cute things like that little unicorn?!” her eyes sparkled as she tried to suppress the scream of joy while speaking.

“Yeah! But most importantly, you are not going to tell any one about what it can do! Not even your mother, always keep it secret. You understand?”

“Our little secret magic power!” she jumped around screaming again, this time she didn’t fall, and she was as light and agile as a deer.

The exoskeleton suit Adam created for her adjusts to the strain on her muscles while she moves, and stimulate the muscles using electric currents with the same frequency as produced by a healthy human, to allow them to reach their maximum potential. and when she stops moving it produces a negative Current, to allow the muscles to fully relax and removes any stiffness.

It also massages the entire body when she relaxes to further insure a full effect of the treatment, now any type of movement or relaxation will be like a physiotherapy and more to her.

These extra functions are the reason for the power cell he added to the bracelet, as a normal core would consume the charge that comes with it in around a year with these extra options.

A 5 cm long one finger wide power cell will last her for more then 20 years. While a normal core charge would at most last for 5 years with no extra powers or abilities, 10 if minimally used.

Constructs that doesn’t need powerful weapons like the rail gun, or extra abilities like creating electric pulses, usually produces their own mechanical energy or gets a supply of energy from the core’s charge if needed.

“Not gonna stay a secret for long if you keep screaming like that!!” Adam stood up and readied him self to leave. “I’m leaving Mela! I don’t know if I’ll ever be back to city 17!”

Mela stopped jumping around and her face lost all happiness as her smile disappeared and her eyes filled with tears. “why?! You just came back!”

She held his hand and refused to leave it no matter how hard he tried, he wouldn’t use his full strength on her but she was doing too well with a normal strength. “I can’t stay, people will get hurt! And I need to go find my father.”

Before he came back, she had no excitement other than the fabricated one on TV, she didn’t leave the apartment once during these 3 months, she had no friends other than him, no matter how much she tried to make new friends, she was too weak to participate in their activities, so they always leave her behind, she was lonely.

He is the only one who stayed with her when she was too sick to leave home, and did things she was capable of doing. When he disappeared for 3 months she thought he left her behind as well, she was secretly happy to discover he didn’t, but now he is leaving her behind.

“don’t leave me behind!” tears streamed down her face and she hugged him tightly, if he didn’t have a stronger exoskeleton suit on him she would’ve squeezed the life out of him.

“I’m not leaving you behind idiot! And watch your strength! You gonna kill someone like this!”

When she realized that she didn’t feel weak any longer her eyes widened and she looked at her body as if she was looking at a new toy.

“Did you cure me?!”

“No! There is an invisible exoskeleton suit on your body that helps you move and relax! Better then that stupid chair.”

“but mom said exoskeleton blueprints are too expensive, and they won’t help me for long!”

“it’s not a normal suit, it’s a magical one! Don’t tell any one about it, because if you did, they will take it away.” Adam took the chance that she was busy and amazed with her new found strength, to say goodbye to her and leave hastily.

He exited the front door of Mela’s apartment, and was met by Ms. Sydni, her eyes swollen, and had dark bags under her eyes and a ruined makeup all over her face.

“Adam! Why didn’t your house system let me In?” she tried to stop him.

“Because I’m leaving!” he said not stopping to have a proper conversation with her, which agitated her.

“Did your father come back?! He needs to fill some papers first! Wait…”

Sydni stared at his back while he ran to the elevator, she didn’t know what he meant, she had no way of stopping him if he leaves during this curfew, as any one out side at this time will be detained and sent home or sent to the tower for investigation.

She had no power left in her to take any action after crying her eyes out with her friend Dory, she had a headache and a very strong urge to sleep for a few years.

‘Is the skill ready?’ Adam asked inwardly as he stepped on the rooftop of the building, which was a nice small park with some greenery and some kids areas and a huge café and restaurant.

[Gravity control calculations imported, for adjustment and customization, testing is needed.]

‘What the…!’ it revealed to him that he needs to fly to learn how to fly, the equations and calculations the symbiote found on the network are all customized to the size and weight of vehicles and prosthetic legs and drones, non of them were made for a 9 year old kid that weighed more then 50 kg.
