And so the day of the end of the tournament came, Tom was eager, to experience the nubot cocktail, he was confident, and he was too aware of this. He did not want to undermine the work of his opponents, but neither did he underestimate himself and his friends. You could see some pride in his eyes on the way to the gifted training center.

The rest of his teammates were waiting for him at the entrance, Aiden kept a confident expression, Adolf looked anxious and Sarah seemed to be thinking about other things.

When they reached their classroom the rest of the children looked at them with an air of competitiveness that could be felt. Then one of the teachers called them, it was obvious that it had to do with combat, so they followed him without asking.

- Well, this is somewhat anti-asthmatic, but ... guys, they were declared winners. Congratulations

The four looked at each other, and then at the teacher, none spoke for a few seconds.

- Is it a joke, we are supposed to laugh? - asked Adolf

- No, I'm not kidding. The other team had a problem and will not be able to participate.

- Is it okay that it just happens like that, the rest won't complain? .- Aiden intervened

- The other students will be informed later. Don't worry about this, these things usually happen, anyway. Here are your prizes.- I take four tube-shaped containers and deliver them to you.- We will supervise your first "update", as is the custom, wait a moment soon a team will come looking for you.

Tom was not comfortable with this, but he did not reject the result, Sarah seemed to think the same as him, since after not speaking during this time he sighed and said.

- Somehow I feel like it's not the way it should be, but I think it's for the best.

- Then we all feel the same. - Adolf snap

- Now we just have to focus on what's next, you know what this means. No? - Aiden intervened

Tom certainly knew it, with his first physical strengthening thanks to the cocktail of nubots, the gifted could access a certain section of the Vyndra network, in another time it was the equivalent of entering the virtual world of creatures and other types of games with the same level of immersion. Anyone could do this, but in the case of the gifted, it implied a new world, since being virtually controlled and restricted by the human government, this virtual reality was one where they could freely explore without worrying about feeling "persecuted" by their abilities.

It can be said that this improvement allowed the gifted to feel that virtual reality differently from the non-gifted.

- But what is the point now? Creatures can step on the ground like any of us- he finally said with a doubtful expression.

- You have a point - I think Adolf - mmm ...

- There is something useful for you from now on. But first, we must proceed to the improvement of the body, follow me, children- said one of the doctors as he entered, just when Sarah was about to announce something.

While they were going to a room where they would help them to take the cocktail, Tom remembered that his teacher told him that he would go see him, he sent him a message telling him what happened. He did not answer, but now he felt calmer since it would not go in vain.

The room where they would be helped to drink the cocktail had some of the measuring instruments scattered and embedded in the surfaces of the room, you could also see some beds and there was a group of people waiting
