A few months later he finished kindergarten before moving to onto elementary school.
While the change in environment is pleasing but rhere is of course little change in the primates around. Well they might have evolved a little but knowing to count with your fingers is still far from being a civilized human being.
'As they saying goes he moved from one hell to the other' Gray sights as he ignores the on going gang fight behind him.
One of the things the primates have learned is strength in numbers. So now they form in to these small groups fighting for... well in most cases no reason at all except for the sake of pissing the other guy off.
Gray off course has no interest in joining early human tribal warfare, so he wisely stayed out of it by remaining as a background character in those conflicts and just watch things unfold.
And if any primitive has any sudden bright idea of bothering him, he always complains to the teachers getting them punished. Thus making other kids avoid him which is what he want from the beginning.
Anyway besides that there is also much progress in research while still need a few refinements but he is satisfied with what he have done overall.
Time passed and a few months has gone by.
Anyway around this time he pretty much finished researching and found what he consider the perfect formula, so now he began making the tools necessary to start mass producing the bullets.
Also the propellant he has chosen is nitroglycerin based.
Why? While it is more of an explosive than a propellant and it would damage the barrel, however it also has a higher muzzle velocity which means more damage and longer range.
The problem could easily solve by replacing the barrel once in awhile.
Right around this time he also began working on his weapon. As he'll be making the bullets he has to know which cailbur it'll be.
Now there is not a lot of weapons to choose from and since he is in Remnant, as the saying goes 'when in Rome do what the romans do' he has to follow the local customs. In this case a transforming weapon.
The problem is that earth doesn't have much in the terms of transforming weapons, fortunately he has already one in mind.
And it is called the Magpul FMG9. While technically it is a concealed weapon not a transforming one but it is the closest thing he got, other that he could go with is ether an umbrella gun or guitar gun (basically an AK in a guitar case) both of which just doesn't fit his taste.
So he spent the next few months on working out the basic infrastructure.
Then he gets back to experimenting as he has to recreate polymer, not only that he also has to recreate a flashlight that doesn't run on Dust.
A few more years passed
Now Gray is preparing to enter Signal academy, the general out line of his weapon is more or less finished.
He recently found the right polymer mix and crafting his weapon is not as much of a problem as he thought.
This party thanks to his newly unlocked semblance photographic memory, while it is not a bad ability but Gray... well... kind of... wanted... expected ... hoped for... SOMETHING AWESOME.
Something more flashy and special and not some the people be born with.
Something like the Force or something electromagnetic that can shoot a coin at Mach 7 or a right hand that can nullify anything unnatural or x-ray vision.
Gray personally wanted the last one the most, most men at one point or another fantasised having the ability to see through anything.
It is frustrating that though this ability did help speed his research a lot, but he kinda hope that he had had this sooner as it would have saved him a lot of time and resources.
Anyway he enters Signal.
New place, new environment and new people.
Gray pretty much went back to his old routine, which is do his own thing or sleep. The only classes that he pays any attention to is when they talked about history, Dust, Aura or Semblance, the rest he ignores.
It is interesting listening them talk about but even so it makes little sense to him and some are just flat out wrong, like the statement 'the Soul has been proven by science.'
Nonsense!
He has searched it in his scroll and the documents that showed up are all based on flawed experiments, just like the soul weight 21 grams experiment back in his past life.
There is also 'It is scientifically proven that Aura and Semblance is connected to the soul.'
More nonsense and can't be proven!
Since the soul still hasn't been proven then the statement is simply built on a false premise.
When ever they start talking about Dust, Aura, Semblance and Grimm, it sounds more like medieval alchemy to him rather than a science, sometimes they would even put philosophical and religious beliefs in.
They keep using vague terms like Soul while offering little to no scientific evidence to its existence and how it correlates to the other vague terms such as Aura and Semblance.
Well this all is pretty much expected as they believe that humans are born from Dust which is wrong. Humans are born from billions of years of evolution from primordial goo.
While he is reborn into a different world but even so he is confident to say that humans are not born from Dust.
Saying that even though they don't know exactly what it is and how it works, that doesn't mean they can't make use of them.
It is like in the past before the modern era, there are many discoveries and inventions made and quite frankly the people at the time who made them have no idea how they worked.
Like the discovery of fire for example, it is highly unlikely that a caveman knows about the fire triangle to start a fire, it is probably discovered by accident.
Or the discovery black powder, the Chinese alchemist was invited it was trying to make an immortality drug. On a side note potassium nitrate one of the 3 components to making black powder is extracted from pee, which means... well... the Chinese alchemist was making an immortality drug and someone has to test it. That's probably how the golden water thing started and to this day it is still being practiced... by mainly japanes pornstars.

So how do you like the story so far? And please don't complain about grammar and spelling, I know I suck at English.
