Knowing that Zero Two would soon follow him, Ryo stared directly into her emerald-like shiny eyes for a second, he stood up from the bed and walked into the bathroom attached just to the bedroom.
Opening the door, he saw a normal-sized bathroom with a huge bathtub by the end of the room which had a shower attached to it. Just by the bathtub, there was a small stool having various bathing tools like shampoos, a liquid body with various clothes, and body scrub and stuff.
Just by the bathtub, there was a mirror attached to the wall of the room. Below the hanging mirror, there was a sink and a small container used to dump their clothes.
Walking up to the mirror, Ryo took off his shirt and traced his eyes to look at the changes that had been made after consuming the serums during the following months.
Unlike his previous unnatural white skin, his skin looks more natural, like a mixture of porcelain and pale ivory color. His previous long wild white hair was now perfectly combed but was medium-sized in length but still white. There was no major change as his eyes were still majestic purple in color but his pupil was cat-like in shape.
But with the high intensity of training, experiments, and evolution from Bloodline, his body looked buffed and muscular but still lean with an astonishing height of 5'8 (Around 170 cm), making him around 8 cm higher in height than Zero Two, who is 5'4 (Around 163 cm).
This was further added to his lean body as he looked super beautiful... or more like cool. Furthermore, his body had quite a pack of muscles, having 6 abs while 2 more were vaguely seen and quite a muscle was seen all over his body.
He looked like one of the edgy protagonists from those fanfics where the Main Character is super Overpowered and can destroy the whole world with a sneeze.
Although Ryo does not consider himself narcissistic or egotistical, he can say for sure that if any normal girl looked at him at this time, they would start to have nose bleeding and even faint from excitement.
'This look can be really advantageous, I can use it to make a scenario where I change my hair and eye color using some sort of dye and then act as if I was severely hurt and lost consciousness, just around the house of female protagonists.'
'Although Cliche, my looks will make it work.'

*Creak*
"Darling!"
Suddenly the door to the bathroom opened as Zero Two ran into the room happily and jumped at Ryo, making him move his body and catch her in his arms to not her from getting injured.
Much to his annoyance, Zero Two showed no remorse for her actions as she started to hug his chest and take deep sniffs. She was wearing a white one-piece night dress and looked absolutely cute.
Although she looked several years older than she was at that point in time, she still looked like a cute girl to Ryo compared to all the old females that he had met in his previous life who looked more mature.
"Zero Two... How many times do I have to tell you not to do such dangerous actions!? What would have happened if you might have slipped and fallen before you even jumped and injured yourself!?"
With a sign, Ryo asked her several questions in annoyance. He felt his heart skip a beat whenever Zero Two tried to make a leap of faith, not considering the fact that she might get injured if Ryo were not there for her.
Furthermore, her horns were poking him in his chest, making him feel pricky. And because of two huge mounds pressing over his body, Ryo felt a quick need to separate himself.
"I believe in Darling! I knew darling would definitely catch me."
With a smug smile, Zero Two looked up from his chest, still hugging Ryo. She knew that Ryo would definitely be there to save her if she was ever to slip.
Knowing full well that there was no point in furthering the conversation, Ryo looked at her with a deadpan face, and with his right palm, he caught Zero Two's head and used it to push her away and free himself.
After freeing himself, he walked up to the container by the mirror, removed his shorts and threw his clothes, walked up to the bathtub, entered and started the hot water shower, and started to use the body scrubber and body wash liquid to clean himself.
Looking at Ryo with a pout for a second for he had broken her hug, Zero Two huff-ed and also took off her clothes and there them into the body cloth container, and rushed to the huge bathtub to clean herself.
Ryo gave her a quick glance, he observed the changes that were in her body since they were together. Unlike her red skin, white hair, and fragile body, now her body looked fair and shiny white ivory. While her white hair had started to turn pinkish.
On the other hand, her fragile body was now ten times as strong as a normal human being. If she wished, she could punch a hole in a wall, albeit having some damage to her knuckle bones.
[Image]
Furthermore, she had gained quite a body mass, evidenced by a bit of a muscular body.
Giving her a quick look, he helped her in and continued to take a shower, and whenever he was not able to reach a certain part of his body, especially his back, Zero Two would help him while he did the same to her and helped her clean her body properly.
Since their senses were heightened, they felt resistance to bad smell, so they had to wash their body properly with scented body wash or else they would smell bad themselves, not that Ryo or Zero Two minded but still hygiene comes first.
After all, they... no Zero Two had a small trauma of dirty things. It was as if she started to hate her own situation of the past where she wasn't able to do anything to help herself, let alone Ryo.
-
Nothing major happens in the shower, except Zero Two keeps glancing and taking glimpses of Ryo's Excalibur, making him almost get a bit harder. Thankfully, Ryo was able to control himself, or else he would have to move out with his stick being in high-light for quite some time.
He could only curse his almost extinct bloodline and his 'Curse' that amplified his emotions.
He really had been trying to control himself these days as although Zero Two might be at her age biologically, he didn't want to do anything dangerous for her body. He wanted to wait for at least 5 more years before making any move.
There was no point denying that.
Zero Two was indeed beautiful, but she was almost 1/3 of his age. That was the first reason he stopped any of his motives and moved on her for now. There was no need for him to overcome his previous life's trauma right at that time.
He can force himself to overcome his trauma at that same moment, but that will mess up his plan.
"..."
It did indeed hurt him deeply as he had promised himself to not fall in love with anyone else easily, he felt like Zero Two was probably the only one who could understand him the most by this point.
This included both mentally and spiritually to some point.
Thinking about it, he mockingly smirked at own his thought. Was that even he felt?
"..."
Knowing well that it is no good for him to live in the clenches of his past and it will only hurt him more, Ryo has decided to discard all his previous life feelings and ignore them very soon.
'Say System, what is the lowest priced love potion?'
[Love Potion:
Description: Make a person who drinks this potion fall in love with the person next to him or herself for the next 6 hours.
Price: 1000 UPs]

Ryo quickly walked up to a huge glass tube, and as soon as he entered the tube, a glass window closed off the entrance as a holographic scanner scanned his body, and a layer of nanotech pieces of equipment calmly covered his muscular body in a black thick armored clothing.
The nano-clothing was made up of special nanomaterial that could withstand multiple hits from high-caliber guns at point-blank range.
His clothing consisted of the main chest plate that covered his whole frontal body, starting from the chest and reaching the end of lowest Umbical End of his stomach.
His chest plate was further divided into 3 parts, each connected by a flexible nanofiber with almost the same capabilities as the armored plate for easy movements.
While the next major pieces consisted of handpieces and leg pieces. His hand pieces started from the shoulder region, reaching his waist, where it is connected to his armored gloves. The handpiece was further divided into 3 parts, shoulders, elbows, and waist part.
The shoulder parts were connected to both the neckpiece and his chest plate with flexible materials.
On the other hand, his leg pieces were divided into two places, first was at the groin region, the second was at the knee and the last was at the end of his ankle region, divided and connected by the same flexible nano fabric which was flexible as well as strong.
If one looks deeply, one will find that there was almost no opening to the tight suit that Ryo was wearing, but strangely, Ryo didn't feel any discomfort or flexibility problems.
Instead, he was astonished by the fact that the tight suit that he was wearing was actually very light and flexible, such that he almost thought that he was naked.
(Ignore the tails and extraordinary stuff)
He was instructed to wear it as they were to be given an upgrade to the Identity Pass, and after that, they would be either taught how to handle various weapons, pieces of equipment, and fighting techniques and will be taught how to operate a miniature Franxx virtually, a mini Mecha which is to be operated virtually first for training.
He tried to do various actions, trying out his new suit of his. Although he had seen nanotechnology in his previous life, the technological level of this world was several years ahead of the technology from his previous life, making him excited to learn more about the new knowledge out there for him to discover.
While he was planning how he would acquire the knowledge, suddenly the glass tube by his side opened up revealing Zero Two.
*Swish*
Coming out of the glass tube, Zero Two walked out of the tube excitedly, wearing the same red tight suit that she wore in the anime, walk out of it. As soon as her eyes landed on Ryo, Ryo felt her eyes shine for a second as she quickly approached him.
"Darling, how do I look?"
After approaching Ryo, Zero Two smiled excitedly as she swirled in a circular motion, giving Ryo a complete view of her red tight suit.
As she turned around, her middle-length hair swirled around, making the scene look beautiful, making him fall into a bit of trace for an instant.
[Image]
Looking at Zero Two looking at him with excitement, Ryo smiled a little, removing the always stoic look of his. Patting her head a little, he replied, "You look beautiful, Zero Two."
This comment on her look made Zero Two smile brightly.
Sadly this moment was broken by the sound of the reminder that Ryo had set on his comm device.
Knowing that he would be late if they didn't leave now, Ryo took Zero Two's hands and walked off quickly, rushing to the hall where the meeting was about to take place while returning to his stoic look while Zero Two walked alongside him with a smile.
"..."
.
.
.
*Swish*
Walking calmly into the instructed room, Ryo started to examine the interior. While Zero Two also followed him inside, the smug-ish and excited smile that she adored previously was nowhere to be seen as she also examined the room in an uninterested manner.
Inside the room, two people were standing in the room. One of them was a male while the other one was a female.
Looking at both of them, Ryo felt a sense of danger, not at the deadly level, but they can still hurt him a little; After all, he doesn't have a Klaxosaur blood for nothing.
The only man except Ryo in the room was astonishingly 6'1 and looked like he was in his late 30s. He had a muscular build with muscles showing even after he wore a tight suit. He had light brown hair with shiny yellowish-brown eyes.
The man adored a black tight suit which didn't his arms. He was standing there with his hands on the side of his stomach and hips with a small smile covering his face.
The main thing that attracted Ryo's attention was that the chin and the upper half of his neck were covered in metallic structure while his left hand was also made up of metallic structure.
The woman standing by that man was also very tall, reaching an astonishing 5'8 in height, which was rare even in that world. She adored a black tight suit, that covered her whole body. She had a stoic face with a muscular body.
Her hair was light brown in color while her eyes were also light brown in color. She was standing in the room with a stoic face with her hands folded, observing both Ryo and Zero Two.
The room went silent for a while as both parties continued to observe each other. But suddenly the man with the smile nodded at them and said, "Code 002, Code 003, welcome to the training tutorial. We will start our lesson when the other participants arrive. I will train the guys in the start while Kiara, my fellow instructor will teach the girls."
"We will exchange students after you have gotten a bit comfortable with us."
Saying that, Arato, the huge buffed man calmly walked up to Ryo and extended his hands while the other woman, Kiara went to shake Zero Two's hands.
'Other participants... Hmm.'
Extending his hands, Ryo looked at the man in his eyes. The man shook his hands and continued, "Well, I will be your instructor and will be teaching you all how to fight and use firearms. You can call me Instructor Arato, but I am fine with Arato only."
As soon as the man introduced himself, his hand grip around Ryo's hands suddenly tightened as he suddenly lifted his left hand and threw a fist at Ryo at a fast quick action.
*Bam*
The next second, Arato was on the ground as Ryo lifted his leg and stomped at Arato.
Astonished by the previous counter, Arato quickly composed himself as he rolled to the side before Ryo's leg could come to his face.
"Code 003, I am quite impressed. In my so many years of experience, your reaction speed is quite good, your skills are quite rusty. If I am right, your skills are made up by yourself. Hmm... Like a Street Fighting style? Yeah. Something like that."
With a wry smile, Arato stood up, but with quite a great difficulty. If one looked at him, his nose was bleeding while his upper lips had turned a bit puffy. Furthermore, the back of his knees was hurting pretty badly because of the counter that Ryo threw at him.
"I do have to say, your counter was perfect. Just when I punched, you kicked my thigh and pulled my hand which made me use my other hand, which was in motion to be broken and be used to stop myself from falling while making my grip on my hand loosen up"
"Then you used this opportunity to break free of my grip on your arm, and pull me forward, making me almost fall to the ground, and then you slid smoothly to my back and pulled my neck, making my balance turn toward backward, and used your knees to force me to make me fall backward toward the ground and then punched me to make me get into a bit of confused state and stomp your leg toward my face."
"Tell me, Code 003, how did you find out that I was going to attack you? I don't think I ever alerted you about it. If you were an expert, you would have not made a few mistakes that I noticed like quite a rigid movement and panicked state of yours."
Stroking his bleeding nose and removing his blood, Arato looked at Ryo with a huge smile. This was the first time in a while that he noticed a talented fighter.
*Ding*
[22,000 UPs -> 22,100 UPs]
It had been 7 years and during that, he could at max change things here and there, but one thing he noticed was that he gained 5,000 more UPs when he was 10 years old.
At first, he dismissed it as a reward for staying alive, but then it came to him that at first Zero Two saw him as a sort of 'Guardian Figure', but at that time Zero Two might have started to see him as someone she 'loved' due to the book.
This in turn gave him 22,000 UPs at the end.
Ryo glanced at the system notification of him earning 100 UP for impressing the instructor, he thought, 'Let me test one of my theories.'
Then Ryo huff-ed and looked back at Arato with a calm gaze and replied, "It was easy to notice. You used the terms like 'other participants' trying to make me a bit confused and a bit absorbed in my thoughts. A perfect opportunity for a surprise attack as I will have my reactions slowed down because of the confusion."
This was a valid answer, but it was just that Ryo had years of experience. He could have defeated Arato much more easily, but that would have revealed a lot of his abilities.
Something that he wanted to hide the most right now, especially from the APE directors.
As this was the first training session, Ryo knew that he couldn't show himself to be inexperienced as he had been showing some signs of training, and not showing too much ability that the 'World Will' use for some bullshit reason and find a way to kill him.
The APE, which primarily consisted of VIRM creatures, would have perceived him as a threat somehow, thinking that he got to experience it because of being connected to the Klaxosaur Queen. Thus, in short, try to kill him because of some bullshit reason that 'World Will' made up.
'I need to make a very stable image. Not too good, not too bad.'
On the other hand, Arato rubbed his swollen lips as he thought, 'Indeed. I am quite surprised. It's been several years since I last found training someone as interesting as this guy. Code 003, I am looking forward to training you.'
*Ding*
[22,100 UPs -> 22,150 UPs]
'Hm? Another wave of points for impressing Arato? Quite surprising. Were they involved in training the Fake Klaxosaurs in the canon? But I never heard of them. Is this an easter egg of some sort? In the end, it doesn't matter. I will just have to make them admire my 'talent' and gain as many UPs I can squeeze from them.'
'I have knowledge about several different fighting styles and have mastered tens of them. I don't know if there are other fighting styles and arts that can be learned since this is a new world and quite advanced one too.'
*Bam*
Coming out of his thoughts, both Ryo and Arato looked at the other side of the room, only to notice Zero Two being pushed to the wall while Kiara had Zero Two's neck captured while she locked Zero Two in a difficult situation to come out of.
"Khh."
Feeling the need to breathe air, Zero Two used her hands to put a grip on Kiara's hands holding her in a choking position and tried to kick her in the stomach, which was easily countered by Kiara while maintaining her choke.
*Bam*
Throwing Zero Two to the ground when she felt that she was already in a state where it was impossible to counter, Kiara looked emotionlessly at the coughing Zero Two breathing quickly while trying to breathe air.
Looking at the scene, Arato felt amused as he looked back at Ryo, trying to perceive any anger and notice his facial expression. but he was surprised to see Ryo looking at the scene calmly.
Feeling a bit interested, he asked, "Code 003, well, let me call you Three, it's quite hard to repeat the same long stuff again and again. So, Three, do you not feel anger when looking at the scene? Shouldn't you go and help Code 002 up?"
Ryo looked at Arato with a bored look and replied, "If I try to interfere with Zero Two and instructor Kiara, I will only be hindering Zero Two's growth. I do not want that to happen."
Nodding in satisfaction and evaluating Zero Three's behavioral pattern, Arato walked to the middle-end edge of the room and stood there, waiting for the next participants to enter the evaluating zone.
On the other hand, Kiara helped Zero Two up, but as soon as Zero Two stood up, she used her hands to swipe her hands to hit Kiara, only for Kiara to turn her body to the side, dodging the attack and using her legs to trip Zero Two again.
Then she calmly walked toward the side of Arato, leaving Zero Two on the ground as she fell face first.
Looking at the scene, Ryo signed and walked up to Zero Two and helped her up. As he helped her up, he saw her expression to be in a mess. She looked like a person in fury.
But as soon as she saw Ryo, her anger faded instantly but her face showed a frown. Then with a quick action, she huff-ed and looked in another direction.
Knowing that she was showing her dissatisfaction, Ryo quickly traced his fingers through her neck, through the places that had red markings, showing the places of the neck grip from Kiara.
He whispered, "I am sorry.", quietly such that only she could hear. Although a bit unsatisfied, Zero Two pouted a little and looked back at Ryo showing a blaming look.
*Tap* *Tap* *Tap*
Suddenly multiple footsteps were heard, gaining all their attention.
As soon as all of them looked in the direction of the stepping sound, they saw 8 people enter the room. Each of them looked the same age as Ryo and Zero Two, but as soon as Ryo looked at the person in the lead of the group, a quick answer appeared inside his mind when he saw the blonde hair and emerald green eyes.
'The members of the 9's from the anime. The special force that directly worked under the instructions from the highest members of APEs, the Seven Sages. They were the clones made from the DNA of Zero Two, and probably mine too. Does that mean that I am their father? Pfff-'
*Ding*
