If his SDI within the Apocalypse World could be called abhorrent, his SDI in reality had quickly grown to catch up. Dante was discharged from the chamber slowly once he woke up, first having the liquid looking gel drain away before the various tubes that had been plugged into him slowly removed.
He was surprised because these tubes were not there when he first went under, which meant that they came later. That was probably why he had to go under, because the feeling of being pierced in so many places would not be fun.
Just by raising his SDI to 2 points in each field, Dante had bled so much that he had woken up in a sticky mess. Feeling that his power had grown even larger this time, he was certain that his SDI had exploded even more.
He was brought his clothes by the Android Nurse and he equipped them slowly. Dante thanked her for the care and then left the treatment room, to see that it was currently nighttime outside again.
He shook his head and noticed the crowds that always littered the Student Enhancement Institution and wondered if there was ever a time where it was actually devoid to eager students looking to gain more power.
He took the teleporter and returned to his residence. He casually glance dover at Humphreys residence and saw that it was silent. He guessed that the fellow was also using the Etraverse to empower himself however he could until their alloted class began in 8 hours time.
Dante entered his place and then sat in the living room. He was not particularly hungry as he was pumped with nutrients of the highest grade during the gene enhancement, so he felt full and satiated. Rather, he finally opened his SDI with curiosity.

Dante sucked in a deep breath. In truth, he could feel it the moment he came out, that his SDI had probably reached or surpassed 10 points. That was because the him in the Apocalypse World had more than that, so he could subconsciously feel the range in which his SDI grew.
10 and half points after the first gene treatment was pretty… bad. Dante could tell simply because he had his AI chip search the Quantum network for information about gene enhancements results for pure humans and the usual ranges.
He then used the AI chip to simplify and extract the key details, allowing him with his current 10 times the mental acuity of a normal person to digest the information quickly. In truth, he really missed the chip, because it was disabled in the Apocalypse World, and it really made all the difference.
However, his SDI growth was bad because most pure humans, upon undergoing their first gene enhancement, would leap about 15 to 20 points in all fields. Dante had only gone up by 8 pints, which was half of the minimum value.
This was simply because he lacked the optimized genetic structure of actual pure humans in this universe who had undergone generations of optimizations using their advanced science among other things.
Beatrice had done her absolute best by mending a large amount of the glaring flaws in his genetic structure and giving him the basic qualification to exist within the Eternal Universe without melting into goo.
However, there was a limit to what she could realistically do, and this was the result. Dante would always be behind the average pure human in this universe in terms of genetics unless he found some way to get around that.
And that wasn't even considering the natural born geniuses like Beatrice and co among them. If such fellows existed among the students, Dante would have a very hard time.
He could only pass a hand through his hair with a sigh and think about how to deal with this later. As a the ranked first student, all eyes were on him and the slightest flow or mistake could lead to a sea of trouble.
However, his first rank also led to a sea of benefits, so everything in equal measure.
Dante pondered what to do next and decided not to return to the Apocalypse World. He had spent some time there and realized that he fundamentally lacked far too much to think about anything else, so he had to fill those gaps.
As such, he opened up the Etraverse and browsed through the various worlds the school possessed. Not only because they were some of the best in their respective fields, but because it was free for students to use.
He honed in on the world of his choice.

Dante felt a tinge of excitement and chose this world. This as a special world that was actually rarely visited by students, because all residents of thus inverse underwent such training to adapt to their physical enhancements from a young age.
In other words, this was high school syllabus tier stuff. The only reason it was likely included in the Eternal Academy was because their student population was made up of all sorts of unique fellows like Dante, so someone might occasionally need this.
Dante descended into a white room that was styled like an ancient Japanese dojo. The floor was made of lightly polished wood, there were racks of weapons and bookcases with various manuals in the background, and Dante could see a horizon in the distance through the partially opened sliding door.
He noticed that he had changed from his Vice-Admiral's uniform that he normally wore to a white hakama. He felt surreal, like he had entered an anime that he loved in the past.
Dante saw an ethereal older male appeared before him also wearing a hakama. The man looked kind and wizened, having his arms placed behind his back, and his murky grey pupils shone with wisdom.
"Greetings, young one. I see you have come to me to rectify your flaws, and I shall do everything in my power to help you achieve the perfection you desire." He greeted in a serious tone, his voice strong despite his age.
"Hello sir, and thank you for the chance." Dante decided to greet the fellow back despite not knowing whether he was real or not.
"Hmm. First, please show me your parameters and run some basic courses for me to gauge where you stand physically." The elder acknowledged while rubbing his beard.
Dante was prompted by his AI to show his current SDI, which he did. After that, he ran a few courses featuring 5 Cardiovascular Endurance tests, 5 Aerobic Tests, 5 Strength Tests, 5 Anaerobic Power tests (speed), 5 Anaerobic Capacity Tests, 5 Agility tests, 5 Anthropometry tests, 5 Flexibility tests, 5 Balance tests, 5 Dexterity/Coordination tests, 5 Reaction Time tests, 5 Health tests and finally 5 Sports tests.
In order to get the perfect representation of his physical prowess, his stamina was restored with each new test, and that included fatigue, muscle tear and muscle tiredness. So he went into each test like it was the first.
ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm In the beginning, the elder was still smiling, but as Dante ran more and more tests, his expression froze and then became full of confusion. He looked at Dante just like how one would look at a flying pig.
When Dante completed the tests, the elder simply looked the him up and down like he was seeing him for the first time. He then broke into a strange smile and remarked.
"That was… interesting. It seems like with you, I will have to start at the very foundational level, but it is no problem. Lets get to work then."
