I Received System to Become Dragonborn

"What do you mean he will start using it?" Julius asked confusedly. He glanced at General Lennard.

"As you have heard, sir. They will start using the energy that has just been extracted on other subjects," General Lennard said.

The corners of his lips pulled up slightly. There was a hint of pride on his face.

Julius decided to continue seeing what happened next on the monitor screen.

Thomas seemed to press a button again on his tablet computer. After that, the three small tubes went down together with the small orbs.

The three tubes protruded from under the transparent tube that contained Conrad.

Three crews came and took the three tubes. After that, they took it away.

Thomas grab the camera and took it walking somewhere.

In the other corner of the room, it turned out that there were already three other tubes the size of an adult human.

Inside there were already two men and one woman who were tightly strapped.

One of the two men is Steve. The only member of Cemetery Wind's squad that survived that time.

- "Now we're going to start putting that energy into the three new subjects. From left to right are subjects number 1, 2, and 3."

Thomas's voice sounded again. Next, the three crew members put the three small tubes in the place beside them.

As soon as the scientists press the button, the tiny orbs leave the three small tubes that previously housed them and enter the three human-filled tubes.

The golden orbs surround the three new subjects.

Steve gritted his teeth in disquiet. But he kept his mouth shut.

- "Alright, let us start the next step."

The sound of several switches being pressed can be heard through the camera. Then the sound of a machine echoing a regular rhythmic ticking sound followed shortly after that.

The same white wave as before appeared around Conrad appeared around the three subjects.

The small orbs surrounding them started to react by shining even brighter.

Several voices saying that their respective preparations were ready can be heard.

- "Good. Subjects, are you ready?" Thomas asked while observing the three subjects.

- "Surely you are ready. Yes, of course. You are going to be a part of this great history for this country."

Thomas concluded without waiting for an answer from the three of them.

He pressed a few more buttons on the tablet computer in his hand.

The orbs flew closer to the bodies of the three subjects. Then, one by one, the orbs started to enter their bodies.

"ARRRGHHHH!!!"

One of the men identified by subject number 3 shouted. He even tried to break free from his strap. His screams showed a very clear pain.

- "Whoa. I didn't expect him to be in so much pain," Thomas said.

- "Before, this kind of thing didn't happen to Conrad. But apparently, a different reaction emerged from the new subject. This is interesting."

Thomas' voice didn't sound concerned. Instead, he sounded amused, or excited.

Julius stared at the screen with a frown. His attention was now fully occupied with the events that occurred in the recording.

"AAAARRRRGHHHH!"

The screams continued. Julius expects that the other two test subjects will also experience the same thing.

But that didn't happen. Even after almost all of the golden orbs entered their bodies, the other two test subjects showed no reactions like subject number 3.

Test subject number 2, which is a woman, looks pale and her body emits white steam.

The glass from the tube that enclosed it was dewy and finally froze. As if it had been exposed to extremely cold temperatures.

Meanwhile, test subject number 1, who was none other than Steve, emitted a thin reddish vapor.

The glass of the tube that enclosed Steve was seen to be filled with a wave of heat. The straps that held him began to blister.

"What is going on?" Julius asked.

"Apparently, the two of them have begun to unite with that Magic core, sir. You can see that they give off power like ice and fire," General Lennard said.

This time he didn't bother to hide his smile. But Julius didn't realize that because he was busy staring at the monitor screen.

What General Lennard said was true. Julius could see that the two test subjects were emitting heat and cold from within their respective bodies.

- "Look, General! We did it! We did it!"

Thomas said with a clear voice of excitement now. Then he looked at the camera and flashed a big smile.

- "We managed to get Magic power!"

Suddenly, Julius didn't see that Thomas' face was unpleasant to look at. Julius even smiled.

"I guess so, huh, Jacob," Julius said.

General Lennard smiled with satisfaction. However, it was not over yet.

*PRAANGGG!*

Suddenly, the glass of the tube that held test subject number 2 broke. White smoke came out of it and shocked everyone.

"What's this?" Julius asked in concern.

"Test subject number 2 lost control, sir. With her ice powers, she shattered the straps and glass of the tube," General Lennard said.

Julius could then see that test subject number 2 was starting to step out of the tube.

Some parts of her body were covered by ice. He glanced around at the few scientists with eyes that looked vacant.

Then she raised one of her palms. Above the palm appeared a wisp of freezing wind.

Test subject number 2 then threw it at one of the crew closest to her.

The poor crew froze in place instantly. His face was full of terror.

After that, test subject number 2 shot a kind of ice needle toward him.

*PRAAAKKK!*

The poor crew fell to pieces on the floor.

Subject number 2 then glanced at the other people around him, then a smirk appeared on his lips.

"Hey, doesn't that look dangerous!" Julius said with a tone full of anxiety.

"This does look worrying, sir. But you needn't worry. It won't be anything serious," General Lennard said, trying to calm him down.

Julius didn't question anymore because he was sure that it was true.

After all, this is a recording. General Lennard would have known what happened next.
