Humanity Return

Ch. 47 – New Solutions and Discoveries

The afternoon sun shone on the open field where many people and Beasts were training hard.

Among them was a black-haired young man standing in front of the pink-haired little girl.

The black-haired youth was seen carrying a crystal ball in his right hand.

“Clear die”

Aura who heard that and almost questioned her hearing after receiving the strange news.

He realized the crystal in Leinn's hand in front of him had a familiar color.

“Huh?”

Transparent Crystal ball with little blue color.

The ball as big as a watermelon was the same color as Clear.

Aura opened her eyes wide and pointed at the crystal ball in Leinn's hand.

“A-what's i-it..?”

“Yes, Clear has been like this since this morning. My contract did not receive any reaction from him”

Aura covered her mouth with her hands, still not believing the news.

After a while he also noticed Leinn who was not showing a sad or panicked expression, just a calm expression.

He remembered what happened the night before.

“L-leinn... What have you done?”

Leinn's expression seemed to change in an instant, then he covered his face with a crystal ball in his hand.

Of course his face could still be seen through that transparent crystal ball.

“I... gave him the Beast Core?” leinn said slowly.

Aura placed her hand on the crystal, she could faintly feel the tremors that followed the rhythm of the heartbeat.

“I....waiting for him to come back to life?” leinn, slowly.

Leinn lowered the crystal ball from his face and showed an awkward smile.

“...”

Then found the girl in front of him falling on the floor just like that, surprising him.

The feeling of relief that came in place of his anxious feelings made his entire body feel limp.

It took a while for Aura to get enough power to get back on her feet, then she placed her hand on the surface of the transparent sphere.

He also brought his face closer to see more clearly.

“I didn't expect Clear to evolve overnight, nor did I ever see a Slime evolution like this... How many cores did you give him?”

“Twenty”

“Two-“

“What's up?”

The aura looked like it was choking after hearing that answer, making Leinn a little anxious.

“The research I read about once gave more than five Rank C Beast C Core in one digestion, with a pause of 12 hours after each administration.”

“...”

The “Slime Beast being tested had a Rank D, so maybe the time they needed was not the same. But Clear should only take a few days to digest all that then you can give the remaining Beast Core-“

Aura realized Leinn had said nothing, so she raised her face. The one in front of him was Leinn who was smiling awkwardly, just like before.

Bad feelings begin to appear.

“Leinn... What's up?”

“I didn't give him 20 Beast Cores of the Giant Tarantula.

Leinn scratched the back of his head.

“I gave him 20 Rank B Beast Core...?”

“...Huh?”

A noon wind was heard blowing between Leinn and Aura who were at a loss for words.

The sounds of Rufus and Basalt destroying the ground puppet training not far from there also sounded quite loud.

...

Moonlight and small lights illuminated the open training ground and the middle was sitting still.

The scene was identical as the night before, only this time Leinn was sitting in front of a transparent crystal ball as big as a watermelon.

His hand touched the crystal ball and felt a cool sensation and a small vibration in order.

“Hm..”

Leinn started to remember what happened this afternoon...

“Could..”.

After thinking for a while, Aura finally finished estimating the situation that was happening to Clear.

The greatest possibility of Clear becoming like that was that he was being transformed into the most efficient form to digest the huge amount of energy he received.

So Leinn could do nothing but believe and wait for Clear to finish digesting the 20 Rank B Beast Cores that he swallowed.

Now he was just sitting in the middle of an open training ground that was to be the least foreign place to him in that academy.

Small transparent bubbles could be seen inside Clear's body and the darkness of the night showed a small glow that shone for a moment.

20 Transparent balls, with a colorful light that is not visible during the day.

“Clear”

Red, blue, brown, green.The little ball moved slowly inside Clear's body, creating a beautiful sight.

But Leinn realized something after knowing Clear would be fine.

He thought for a moment as he patted Clear in front of him, then raised his hand quite high.

The bham!

The loud sound broke the silence of the night, a loud clashing sound.

Clear received a punch from Leinn without flinching even a bit, just cracking the stone floor underneath.

The crack slowly began to disappear and the stone floor returned just like before.

Leinn looked unconcerned about it and started stroking the surface of Clear's body again.

It turned out that his conjecture was correct, Clear now had an extraordinarily hard outer body. It seemed like the immense energy of those 20 Rank B Beast Cores formed an almost impenetrable protector around its original body.

“Hm..”

The attack that used 10 percent of his strength, which was enough to render an ordinary Rank C Beast unconscious, could not hurt Clear in the slightest.

Leinn stood up and raised his fist again and this time, with 50 percent of his full power.

Booms

A thick dust fog appeared and a large hole formed in place of Clear earlier.

Leinn raised his face and saw Clear fall down quickly after bouncing into the air.

He reached out his right hand and managed to catch it, with a small smile appearing as he looked at Clear's clean body and his slightly aching right hand.

Leinn could also see the colored bubbles inside Clear's body begin to move faster after receiving the impact.

“Hehe..”.

Leinn could feel some people starting to run to check for the sound of the explosion earlier, so he clamped Clear in his right armpit and started running back to his resting place.

Two watchman-clad disciples along with one person who looked much older than them got to the field and only found a hole in the floor that was almost closed. It seemed like the previous explosion had only damaged the floor of the training ground which had self-improvement magic.

Finally the old man stepped closer to the place that no longer had the hole and examined it, trying to find the reason it happened while two other supervisory disciples were researching the place around.

Eventually he could not find a reasonable reason for someone wanting to do just that.

“There's what this is-“

“Hahaha..!”

A long laughing voice startled those people, then disappeared.

Leaving them feeling confused.
