Child from the Dungeon-Chapter 204: Spin-Off Vol.1 ’Dark Stranger ’: Advancement Tutorship

[ In the 'Facility' ]

" Ada...veanci... " DG-525 says as he says the word.

" No, no, DG-525, advance... "

" A-D-V-A-N-C-E, spelled, advance! " said DG-525's tutor, a person covered in a strange lab suit, covering every part of his body, in charge of tutoring DG-525.

With a deep rasped voice, the mentor is tutoring young Duncan on the basics he needs to learn.

" adv...ance... " DG-525 spelled it, correctly this time.

" Good, DG-525. "

" It seems you completed your first advancement stage well. " said the tutor as he praised DG-525.

" It seems the Master was right that you would be a successful subject. "

" Hence why he told me to pick you in, remember? " the tutor asks DG-525, telling him that he was the one who held him out from the place he came from, his very 'holder'.

" You? " DG-525 asks the tutor as the two continue the tutoring.

After some time, DG-525 began to learn so advanced as he began to learn more advanced subjects like basic calculations, science, history, and other basic subjects that most kids would never be able to learn right after they could learn how to read.

" Dungeons? " DG-525 asks the tutor.

" Yes, a place where you came from. "

" A place known to reside many kinds of lifeforms. "

" Using the Gates, we could enter the Dungeons and raid all lifeforms there, in order to gain great subjects. "

" Such as yourself, DG-525. " said the tutor to DG-525. 𝒃𝙚𝙙𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡．𝙘𝙤𝙢

" Subject? Me? " DG-525 asks as the tutor nods, continuing the tutorship over the intrigued DG-525.

...

( Hours later. )

[ In the other part of the Facility. ]

" I believed DG-525 showed great progress...? " said the facility's Master as The tutor came to him.

" He learns so fast, despite he only received the Level 1 Stage Advancement. " said the Tutor.

" That's a good result, Usually many of the younger subjects often need years or decades to learn the basic things they were given. " said the Master as he chuckled, while the Tutor was simply displeased.

" I could calculate that you are worried... " said the Master to the Tutor.

" Worried!? "

" I'm panicking, Facility Master! " the Tutor says.

" Think of it, Subject DG-525 is learning all of the basic teachings in his first tutorship! "

" Then, what's wrong? "

" Shouldn't the Subject be noted to be advanced to the next stage? "

" Facility Master, you don't understand. "

" You may be proud of this kind of development but at the same time, you should be more worried, worrier than me! " the Tutor states.

" When I said learning of all the basic teachings, I mean the basic teachings of calculations, science, history, arts, and combat right after he could finish learning how to make a sentence! "

" He did this in three hours, to be more exact around 02:56:28. "

" Wow, that's not even three...? " said the Master.

" Exactly, this one is too much for a Level 1! "

" Even the Level 2s need more time to learn it all simultaneously! "

" Does this not concern you, Facility Master? " the Tutor asks which the Master chuckles.

" Of course, it does, if what you've said was true, then DG-525 is the most prominent one from all the DG Subjects. "

" I should consider making him into Level 2. " said the Master which startled the Tutor.

"( Crazy bastard! )"

"( You don't know what you're doing... )" said the Tutor deciding to leave the section as he rushes out.

As the Tutor is having a meeting, DG-525 is in his room, reading some books and cubes consisting of digital data.

* DG-525 reads it all. *

" Hmm... " DG-525 hums as he read it, he read it so fast as he was delved by the information he witnessed.

" Gates, Universal Doorways to other realms, made from the Universe's Quantum Particles. "

" Occurrences are random, but by manipulating the quantum particles with proper equipment, it could control the Gates' opening. "

" Dungeons, A territory within a world, that resides many lifeforms that are considered 'alien' or any lifeforms that were not... " DG-525 reads it thoroughly, he scans the words within the things he read.

" DG-525! " a voice called him, as the room's door was opened.

" Tutor? " DG-525 calls the tutor, perfectly calling him without any lisps or pauses.

The Tutor sees DG-525, sees the books and cubes that were spread around the floor, and sees the young boy reading it despite he just had difficulties in his first learning hours.

* The Tutor shivers. *

" Tutor, come here, I don't understand this! "

" This datacube said that there's a distant realm that has the natural energy called 'Mana'. "

" Using 'Mana' the people made something called 'Magic', using it to bend the very nature. " DG-525 explains while the Tutor silently approach him, as one of his hand hides something behind his back.

* The Tutor approaches while shivering. *

" ... the Datacube wrote that the realm's people used Magic to bend nature such as Fire, Water, Wind, Thunder, Frost, Forest, and many more... "

" It made me confused. "

" Isn't the elements, the nature around us 'Inanimate' and can only be controlled with the flow of nature and the help of technology? "

" Like the wind, for example. "

" How could a Magic User control the flow of wind without the help of any fan, or even make a Tornado out of nowhere with the Magic? "

" Even more confusing, how could this 'Magic' use the elements like they're the User's extension? like the Wind controlling earlier? " DG-525 asks, while the Tutor is getting closer to him, lowering his body, preparing the thing he holds within his arms as he prepares it while still shivering.

DG-525 is still talking while the Tutor prepares the right moment to do the thing, which he does, as he takes out the thing he holds behind his back, a knife, prepared to strike DG-525 as he fears for him as the boy also, conveniently, looked back, seeing him holding it.

* Tutor screams in fear. *

* Splat. *

" Tutor? " DG-525 asks as he sees the tutor's body get obliterated and sees his hand return to its dark black-skinned sharp-long hands, now become sharper as he sees the Tutor silent, as so many liquids coming out from his body.

" Tutor...? " DG-525 asks, confused about what just happened.

" What's going on here, why did we hear a scream- " the Guards came, seeing the Tutor's body on the ground, lifeless.

" Guards? " DG-525 calmly asks as he sees them looking at him in fear over what happened.

" What's going on? " DG-525 asks, while unknown to him, there's a camera in the room, watching the thing that just happened, the camera connected to the Facility Master's Monitor as he sees it.

" Interesting... "
