Chapter 422: Peak B-Rank


    Another chapteringter? Not sure...


    ...


    The new members made the tower much livelier than before. After the new members got used to living in the tower, you could see them walking around the facilities of the club lively.


    As Bloed expected, the training floor was the one that surprised the neers the most. Some of them, after seeing what they could do on it, rubbed their eyes in disbelief wondering if they were having a dream.


    Of course, that was not the only thing they found surprising. From the food to the baths and the electrical appliances, everything was amazing.


    For the new members, who had lived their entire lives in a world where technology did not exist, the things that they saw in the Machine Revolutio Tower were eye-opening.


    Just as she told Bloed, Eres took the job of ''teaching'' the new members. However, Bloed was astounded when he saw her method of teaching.


    First, she suppressed her strength to the B-Rank. Then, she went and beat each one of the new recruits, with or without reason. Afterward, she told them the rules of the tower and what they could do and could not do.


    Strangely, her method was really effective. None of the new members dared to defy her after that.


    From then onwards, every time that one of the new members saw Eres, they would greet her respectfully and with a bit of fear in their eyes.


    Once everything rted to the new members was taken care of, Bloed finally could focus on other things.


    One of these was his training.


    Opening his eyes, he heaved a sigh and put on aplicated expression.


    "Finally, I reached this point."


    "Master? What happened?" Regina, who had been guarding Bloed during her training, asked with a curious light.


    But then, she narrowed her eyes and realized what Bloed was talking about.


    "Could it be Did you reach the peak of B-Grade already?"


    Bloed nodded with a bitter smile. "I did. However, I don''t know if I should feel happy or not."


    " Are you thinking about your breakthrough?"


    Bloed said nothing, but his helpless expression said everything.


    As an ESPer, Bloed possessed an astonishing talent. He was born with two ESP abilities, one of them being an SSS-Grade ability.


    But ironically, his talent became an impediment. The two ESP abilities upied too much of his calction zone, making it impossible for him to use his strongest ability, [Molecr Disintegration], appropriately.


    If he wanted to use it, he needed to be an S-Grade ESPer first. However, bing an S-Grade ESPer with only a C-Grade Ability like [Enhanced Brain Capacity], was very hard.


    Bloed still had a bit of hope that it would not be so hard before reaching the peak of B-Grade. But now that he was in the bottleneck to A-Rank, he realized how difficult his breakthrough to the next level would be.


    Just now, even although he stimted his psychic energy as much as he could, the bottleneck to the A-Grade did not budge even a bit.


    It was like a steel door blocking him. No matter how hard he hit it, he could not open it.


    "Master Don''t worry, I''m sure you will find a solution soon." Regina hurriedly consoled him.


    Bloed smiled wryly and nodded. "I hope so. Well, it''s not as though I don''t have any ideas."


    The problem was that he could not guarantee if his ideas would work or not.


    ''At the very least, I have a direction towards which I can work.'' Bloed consoled himself with this thought.


    Despite the troublesome bottleneck, reaching the peak of B-Rank was a good thing.


    Now that he was a peak B-Grade ESPer, there were some things that he could do.


    Firstly, he was going to upgrade his mechanical puppets again.


    Leto and Oculus would go through aplete upgrade, increasing their power of attack from the peak of B-Rank to the middle-stage of A-Rank. As for Tito, his mechanical puppy and armor, he nned to increase its defensive properties and bring itsbat power to the B-Rank.


    Next were his eyes. After a few months in Academy City, he had almost perfected his eyes'' predictive ability. Right now, it was good enough to be used inbat.


    Bloed nned to upgrade them as well. Mainly to increase the range of things that his eyes could perceive. After all, now that his psychic energy had grown, the amount of information that he could process had gone up as well.


    Finally, there was the project in which Bloed had been working for a while.


    The Body Enhancing Virus.


    After getting the body of the devourer that Regina killed, Bloed studied it to see how it used the energy that it consumed to strengthen itself.


    Thanks to that, Bloed finally had a breakthrough in his research of the Body Enhancing Virus.


    After that, his research advanced quickly. In just a few days, Bloed already had a final prototype of the virus.


    He still had to test it, and most likely, there were still some small issues with it. But even like that, it should be effective.


    ''The Body Enhancement Virus should increase my strength a little bit. However, after that, I don''t know when my strength will increase again.''


    In the end, his bottleneck to the A-Grade was still a very big problem.


    Bloed could not know how long it would take him to resolve it. It could take him from months to years.


    If he was unlucky, perhaps even tens of years!


    ''Well, with a bit of luck, I''ll find a way to breakthrough soon.'' Bloed could only console himself that way.


    For now, he should start to work on the upgrades.
