Gaju - One

Chapter 32 - The Parents

Gaju, Tian, and Adel ate three at one table. Even if this was not the first time, Tian remained unfamiliar with Adel's presence bothering him.

"Where's clothing? Why isn't he visible?" ask Gaju towards Adel.

"He asked me to bring him breakfast. Since returning from the Forest, Aju has been busy at the Workshop," Adel replied with a sweet smile.

The question mark on Gaju's face, Aju at the Workshop? What the hell is he doing? Behavior that does not match the character of the owner of the Third Rank is strongest on the Island.

Adel chuckled at Gaju's confused face.

"He said, seeing you finish off the Leaf Snake during the Trials made him realize that physical strength is not always the main thing in a fight. My clothes could easily finish off the Leaf Snake which made us both flee in fear. He was embarrassed and was thinking of creating his own weapon" Adel said of what his soulmate was up to.

"My clothes?? It's good that Aju is self-conscious. But when are you self-conscious too? This is my Gaju, not your Gaju," Tian's murmur interrupted the discussion between Gaju and Adel.

"Gaju has proven that Gaju is indeed worthy of being a father candidate for our children" Adel continued as if he had not heard the Tian protest just now.

Plakkkkkp.

A slipper floated up and led to Adel's head. But Adel managed to fend it off.

"You, Dada Rata, can you give both of us time to enjoy our togetherness?" adel said slowly and flatly.

Tian's face turned red with anger, "The more he looked at this child," Tian grumbled inwardly as he grabbed the other sandal.

But that was when Gaju held Tian's hand and made the beauty stop her movement.

Tian glanced at Gaju and saw that the guy was looking seriously at the front of the canteen. The place where the Chef and his assistant used to provide food for the Candidates.

When Tian looked there, he was also stunned.

A hollogram looked like it was flashing there and seemed like it was about to appear in that place.

Seeing Gaju and Tian looking towards his back, Adel quickly twisted his body and chair.

The three of them, no, all the candidates in the Canteen, this time had already focused their attention on the hollogram figure that was now perfectly formed in that place.

The Professor.

Professor chuckled while looking at tidying up her disheveled hair. A futile effort, because still he looks messy.

The professor is seen wearing a tactical suit often used when soldiers are on duty in the field. Tactical clothes with camouflage motif which is a combination of dark and young green.

"How do I look?" ask the Professor while displaying his tactical suit.

"I admit that I'm not very good with these clothes. But I'm sure this kind of outfit would suit you guys, too" he continued in a joking tone.

All the Candidates looked tense as they listened to the Professor's words. Although he said everything in a joking tone, but the lives of the Candidates were within his grasp.

Gaju calmly watched the professor bastard. He was nowhere to be seen showing any taste to the old man who looked to be dressed up in such an eccentric outfit. But only Gaju knows how much hate he has for the Professor.

Especially when the Island had already blatantly forced the Candidates to finish each other off and kill each other.

If they return to the same program as the Second Stage, it means like having a High School student do a problem for a Junior High School child.

It was not in line with the Island's initial goal to create its best killing machine.

"OKAY. Okay. I know you all love me so much" continued the Professor whose joke sounded crisp and unmoved by the Candidates.

"I love you all too. You are my children" said the Professor, showing a moved expression.

"Dameless.. Where are the parents who told their children to kill each other!!" yell at one of the candidates.

The professor looked at the boy.

"Where do you know what parents should do for their children?" professor asked Adel, the boy who just insulted him.

"I read it in a book. Parents will always love their children. He will protect his children. He will try to do his best for his children. And you're not our parents!!" shout Adel.

Gaju subconsciously held Adel's hand to calm him down. Tian just glanced at it but made no comment.

Adel fell silent with a breath of breath. He felt a great hatred when Professor said that he was their parent.

Adel accidentally once came across an old book about it and when he read it, he knew and knew the concept of parents and family. Something that was never taught on the island.

From that time on, Adel was fond of reading books about humans, about anatomy of the body, about biology and everything related to humans as creatures.

Over time Adel became interested in the concept of genetics and how amazing the process of declining genetic traits from parents to children. Two different individuals come together and share their genetic traits to pass on to the next generation. The next generation will have the combined genetic traits between the Father and Mother.

Evidence of a union between his parents. A complete assimilation between two different individuals would then bring about its unique genetic traits. It is no longer as pure as that of the Father or the Mother.

The child is a clear proof of the affection between his parents.

The most beautiful miracle in Adel's eyes.

Since then Adel unconsciously began to choose the best Candidate he would assimilate with. And at that time Tian got his toughest competitor, because Gaju was the best choice for Adel for his dream of getting children who fit his wishes.

That was all that caused Adel to not accept when the Professor claimed to be a parent to the Candidates. Because Professor, far from the shadow that Adel has of that figure.

"What you read in that book is rubbish!!" said the Professor flat.

"Parents have a responsibility to make their children better. Parents must also dare to act ruthlessly in order to get a successor with superior genetic traits. It's called natural selection. The weak will die and perish, the strong will survive!!"

"And as a good parent. I just want the best of you. Acute does not need children with quality garbage. Just like your understanding of the misguided old man .." said the Professor as he stared intently at Adel.

"... Adel," call the Professor and make Adel's body tremble a little.
