The Bloodline System Chapter 145

She didn't even use this much strength when dealing with the opponents in the exchange event because she didn't control her strength this time.
All she thought about was trying to prevent what had happened to her the last time so it was more of a subconscious action.
"That's it... Don't just stay in one place and become a person's punching bag, you must also respond unless you enjoy being on the receiving end," Gustav said as he arrived in front of her once again.
"Now Angy, I'm going to attack you several more times... I want you to fight back... I want you to hit back harder than you did earlier, don't be soft because being soft on the battlefield will only get you killed," Gustav said while moving dashing forward again and throwing out his fist.
Swoooshhh!
Angy dodged it again by jumping towards the side before throwing out her right leg towards Gustav's left belly side.
Bam!
Gustav took another solid hit on his body and was pushed back by a few feet.
Angy was doing as Gustav said. Her mind would drift back to the scenery where Zim was beating her up whenever Gustav threw out his fist towards her.
Her body would react subconsciously because she didn't want to be subjected to such pain ever again.
Gustav didn't stop, he dashed out again and attacked her repeatedly, only for her to dodge them and send out attacks of her own which always hit Gustav.
She couldn't believe that she was actually doing this and wanted to stop but one look from Gustav made her rethink.
'I don't want him to cut ties with me, if this is the only way then I have to bear it,'
Although she was bothered by the fact that she was hitting a person especially when that person happened to be Gustav, Angy knew that backing down would only disappoint Gustav.

As they continued, Angy realized that her worries were for nothing. She would always hit Gustav but not a hint of pain would show on his face neither would he look disturbed in any manner.
She realized that all her attacks were doing nothing to him which further shocked her.
--
About an hour later Angy laid on the ground while panting. She was out of breath and her face shown fatigue.
'How is this possible,' She wondered while breathing in and out profusely.
She turned her face towards the side to stare at Gustav who was sitting beside her without a look of discomfort on his face.
Gustav had tired her out. During their spar earlier her attacks were unable to faze Gustav even though they landed on his body.
As the spar continued, Gustav asked her to use more speed which she did.
She channeled her bloodline and grew out another horn which caused her speed to increase by almost four times.
Surprisingly this time when she tried attacking Gustav, he dodged all her attacks.
This came as a surprise to her since her previous attacks where she was moving with a slower speed had been connecting. She found it weird that Gustav was able to dodge her increased speed but was unable to dodge her slower speed.
She was only able to use that skill for a short time so she was quickly exhausted and returned to her initial state.
Throughout when form was activated, she was unable to touch Gustav even once.
What Angy didn't know was, when the first engagement began, Gustav had been purposely letting her make contact with him.
He planned to make Angy get used to the feeling of hitting a human body so when it was time for her to truly go against an enemy in the future, it would feel natural to her.

Angy was faster than him but thanks to perception, Gustav was able to see and predict the movement of people or things around him unless the gap in speed was astronomical.
He knew her attacks wouldn't harm him and also knew she would force herself to stop if she felt was harming him. The latter happened to be something Gustav could do nothing about since they both knew he wasn't an enemy so Gustav just decided to focus on her getting used to hitting a person for now.
When he asked her to use her highest speed, Gustav also made use of sprint so even though he wasn't as quick as she was, it was just like when both of them were making use of their normal speed.
With that high amount of speed, Gustav tested if she would be reluctant with attacking but to his astonishment she still attacked him with vigor just like he was aiming for.
Another reason why he dodged was, he would have taken damage had she managed to touch him while in that state.
After she exhausted her energy they both decided to take a break
'And this time I thought I would get him to reveal it but I still don't know what his bloodline power is... Maybe I should just ask him,' Angy stared at Gustav's face with a contemplative expression.
Gustav was thinking about something while staring into the distance so it was unknown whether he noticed Angy staring at him or not.
'Looks like I will have to make my visit by midnight after the neighborhood observation,' Gustav pondered with a solemn gaze, 'Another all-nighter for me then... Maybe this time I can manage to complete a goal,'
"Gustav,"
He heard his name being called from the side and turned towards his left to stare at Angy.
"Hmm, what is it, Angy? You've regained your energy already?" Gustav asked with a look of disbelief as he stared at Angy.
"No that's not it," She replied.
"Hmm? What's up then?"
"During the duel, that was you that appeared as Falco to save me, right? I want to know what your bloodline ability is?" Angy asked with a look of uncertainty while staring at Gustav.
"I heard them saying you're only F-grade... it doesn't matter to me if you are, but I've never seen an F-grade as strong as you are... Please tell me about your bloodline," Angy added with a pleading look

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.
