Ocean Master

Hours later as Sebastian continued his watch, morning in the Green Mist Sea finally came. Feeling the familiar green glow of this world which represented day shining down on his skin, Sebastian felt refreshed.

For the past few hours, his brain continued dwelling on all the heavenly ideas that he came up with, improvising and finetuning them to a more perfect degree.

He could not wait to get back to the shark clan, his anticipation kept on rising every moment and at this moment he was already close to the climax.

Exactly like when he was still on earth, when he was focused on what he was interested in, the 2 keywords called procrastination and sleep would run away far from him lest they were toasted by his overly excited brain.

His excitement at coming to these discoveries was so much that he occasionally burst into pearls of crazy laughs. Well, in his current body, it was represented as him simply shinning his teeth while making weird noise.

When he just reincarnated into this world as a Great White Shark, he made some mistakes and wrong deductions that would seem silly to others considering that he was an anatomist but to him, he called it passion!

Even as an anatomist, he still needed to focus on a specific aspect of anatomy. His focus point was on sea creatures, specifically on sharks, but he was still a little peculiar and different when compared to others.

When he was still a secondary school and university anatomy enthusiast, he loved reading and playing with his books. But after graduation, reading became a chore, he started loving the main thing more.

From an all-around anatomy scientist, he evolved. He evolved to become a full-fledged dissector, the crazy dissector!

Even at his level, he may forget some of the most basic knowledge about theoretical anatomy and sea creatures, but the real dissecting was still perfectly entrenched inside his brain.

Why care about textbooks when he could experiment and do the thing himself? This was the type of person that he was.

It's not like it was a god who wrote the textbooks, humans wrote them after experiments. So why not engage in the experiment himself to form his own Sebastian-style anatomy textbook?

If great scientists like Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, Elon Musk, and Mack Zuckerberg focused too much on the theoretical aspects of their fields, they would have never become as great as they were.

They were experiment freaks! And so was Sebastian!

The great inventor, Thomas Edison would have never developed the electric light bulb if he was not such an unrelenting experiment freak. He worked his ass off experimenting every day, and so did Sebastian as a human.

This was the only reason why he was able to overcome all odds and create his shark variant between the Great White and Whale Shark families. 

The great Isaac Newton once said; it is the weight, not numbers of experiments that should be regarded.

Sebastian agreed completely with this. You may be a bookworm and may have engaged in hundreds of experiment runs, but it was still the weight of your experiment that would determine your success.

And it was mostly eccentric scientists like Sebastian who got the last laugh.

"You may know all the details in the Advanced Anatomy Textbook. For me, I only know the basics, but I'm an expert in wielding my cutting knives and scissors. Put the both of us to the text and you'll see that I'm 10 times better than you".

This was Sebastian's ideology and the source of his confidence in himself.

For some reason, as he thought of all these, he seemed to have understood why he was chosen as a target for reincarnation.

Numerous bookworms died across the world every day. They could have been chosen but no, a freak like him was chosen instead. He boldly guessed that this was because of his dissecting tendencies.

He guessed that through experiments, perhaps he could influence the adaptation choices of creatures and control their mutation direction.

Even on earth, his focus on dissecting took him so far in his field. He did not dare predict his future in this world which supported him on every facet imaginable, his future prospects in Oceania were unlimited!

Amid his rapidly thinking brain filled with heavenly ideas, he felt a rough stir close to him which annoyingly yanked him out of his moment of heightened thinking and intelligence.

"Seba bro, are we home yet? I feel kinda hungry".

"…"

Sebastian didn't need to look with his eyes nor his electroreceptors, the choice of words already revealed the identity of this companion.

"You're awake?"

"Yeah, I'm awake". As Tosh slowly roused himself from the deep sleep, a weird expression suddenly came across his sharky face as he looked at Sebastian. "Why do you feel so strange and excited?"

"Huh? The f*ck are you blabbering about?"

Sebastian already understood what Tosh meant but he was not having that now. "If you're hungry, go hunt for food. I'll protect Shanks, remember to also hunt for me and Shanks".

"Ok, I'll go find food then. I just hope that shark doesn't appear".

Like the simple-minded shark whose only passion was blabbering all day that he was, Tosh muttered this before swimming out to go hunt.

During the last night, through his electroreceptors, Sebastian already scouted the area and deemed it fit to let Tosh go hunting. This was the only reason why he let the shark go out alone.

Another reason was that Tosh was now healed completely after resting through the night. Apparently, the meat of the Giant Squid did him some real good.

The only problem now was still Shanks.

After Tosh left, Sebastian turned his head to look at the still-sleeping shark. Compared to the previous day, Shank's injuries already healed a lot but the more severe injuries were still there.

This once again showed Sebastian that the healing induced by assimilating the magic essence of predators was not full-proof. To heal from really severe injuries, it needed time or attention from a predator with healing magic.

"I hope nothing happens during this period".

As soon as Sebastian muttered this, he paused as he noticed something.

[You have activated skill: Advanced Electroreceptors.]

Through the more intense scrutinizing advantage of his electroreceptors, Sebastian was able to look deeper to observe what he noticed.

"Shanks is evolving!"
