The Author's POV
Chapter 261
Days passed, and eventually, five more months flew by. It had now been about seven months since I had entered this place, and a lot of things changed.
Especially since my fight with Xavier, which took place around half a year ago.
Ever since then, the number of successful subjects increased from three to fifteen, and the conditions I had been living in had improved drastically.
Once again, my room changed. This time, it was a lot more 'practical' as although it lacked any luxury, it had a private training facility.
As a result of the improved conditions, my strength saw a significant boost.
Training every day, and being fed all sorts of weird stuff, my strength surged at a faster rate than ever before. Even more than when I was at the Lock learning from Monica and Donna.
Within half a year, I had reached
In around seven months, I shot up to almost
Other than that.

[★★★ Full-body martial arts]
Hand-to-Hand combat technique dedicated to utilizing every single part of the body to incapacitate the enemy. It may be a 3-star art, but upon mastery, it can be used to complement other forms of martial art.
===
This was the technique that I had been learning for the past two months. A generic three-star technique that every subject was forced to learn.
And because I was learning this, my swordsmanship saw no significant boost during the past seven months. I wasn't saddened by this as I had now tackled one of my biggest weaknesses. Fighting without a sword.
But not everything was good.
Splash—!
Walking towards the sink and washing my face, I turned my head slightly. Brushing my hair up, I looked at a small scar on the back of my head.
"Khh...it still hurts."
Touching the scar, my face twitched in pain.
About a month ago I underwent a surgical procedure at the hands of Joseph. A chip was installed into my brain.
The chip was something that Joseph had created and what it did was essentially increase the computational abilities of the user. In short, it made someone think at a much faster rate than before. A basic necessity for the super-soldiers he wanted to create.
That was good and all, but unfortunately, there was also a tracking device installed in it. Unaware of such a device existing in the novel, I was unable to prevent this, and thus, stuck with the chip inside of my head, I had to delay my escape plan for another couple of months.
To make matters worse, two months ago, apart from one that I had been saving for a while, I had run out of healing potions.
The only reason I was able to remain sane till now was that the number of dosages I took also saw a dramatic decrease compared to before.
But this was a given.
After all, the dosages did damage the nervous system. Too many and they would only give the opposite effect of what they wanted. Instead of a super-soldier, they'd get an idiot.
Clank—!
"876, it's time to go"
Barging into the room and disrupting me out of my thoughts, was the same guard that had been attending me for the past seven months.
Throwing me a look of disdain, he stepped to the side and gestured with his hand.
"Hurry up, don't waste the professor's time."
"…"
Turning around, I Indifferently looked at him. No words escaped from my mouth.
Since I was supposed to be 'emotionless' I had to act the part. Therefore, without speaking a word I complied with everything the guard was saying.
