Ery found himself genuinely taken aback by Hardy's exceptionally low rank. As a noble from a grade 4 faction, such a circumstance was unprecedented. Even if the young man had minimal interest in cultivation, by the natural power of his ho planet, simply breathing its air or consuming its resources should have given him a better rank.
What added to Ery's astonishnt was the complete lack of response from Hardy to the [Earth Cleansing Body] treatnt. His body remained unaffected, showing no increase in spirit force or battle power. Perplexed by this anomaly, Ery attempted to delve deeper into Hardy's physiology, conducting multiple examinations to uncover any hidden causes.
Despite his efforts, Ery couldn't pinpoint any abnormalities in Hardy's body. The young man's physical condition appeared stable, with no signs of illness or irregularities. Determined to unravel the mystery, Ery extracts a blood sample for further analysis, hoping to find more answers.
Throughout the process, Hardy remained remarkably composed, his deanor unwavering.
With a serene smile, he said, "Don't worry, master. I have been like this since I was young." He slowly put on his clothes and left the room as casually as he had entered.
Klea, who observed the entire process, provided so context to Hardy's situation.
Hardy's lineage was traced back to one of the most distinguished families within the Kaleos faction, a fact that had initially raised high hopes and expectations for his future. However, when he was 12, he was afflicted by a debilitating condition that stunted the growth of his spirit core. This unfortunate ailnt rendered him unable to cultivate and left him marginalized within his own faction, considered a disabled individual, and ultimately forgotten by those who once held aspirations for his success.
Driven by concern for his nephew's carefree lifestyle and well-being, Anas, intervened and decided to send him to Hall 120 under Ery's care.
Ery couldn't help but release a deep sigh, realizing the true reason behind the Kaleo faction's decision to send him to his hall.
The revelation sparked speculation and concern from both Ery and Klea. Given the circumstances, they couldn't dismiss the possibility of foul play, perhaps even poison being involved. Ery resolved to delve deeper into Hardy's dical history and blood samples, hoping to shed light on the mysterious affliction that plagued the young noble.
Next, Ery summoned the three half-blood acolytes.
While Bellana displayed eagerness, Blaine remained watchful. His gaze held a hint of suspicion, wary of Ery's intentions. anwhile, Uloong seed indifferent, casually munching on his snack as if the proceedings held little interest for him.
Blaine's air of distrust prompted him to begin his assessnts with Uloong.
Recognizing the general physiology of the half-bloods, Ery opted for a different approach. He intended to conduct further studies before administering any treatnt, especially considering the potential complexities inherent in their unique heritage.
In addition to the standard physical and spirit core assessnts, Ery arranged for a blood gene test. Despite his limited knowledge of the boar bloodline and insectoids, his expertise as an apothecary master and familiarity with wolf blood gene formulas allowed him to delve deeper into their genetic makeup. With assistance from VIA, the advanced Artificial beings, he was able to glean comprehensive insights into their biological composition and potential.

After conducting the blood gene test on Ulong, VIA provided so intriguing insights into the unique lineage of the tal Path 8 Palace Boar. It shared fragnted details about a formidable Grand Magus associated with this bloodline, renowned for being unbeatable and invincible.
However, despite this prestigious lineage, Ulong's aptitude fell at the lower end of the B range, accompanied by below-average statistics. Ery couldn't help but speculate whether Ulong's lackluster performance and indifferent attitude were contributing factors in his relegation from Corvins's top hall.
Throughout the examination, Ulong remained nonchalant, seemingly unfazed by the proceedings as he leisurely indulged in his crunchy snack. "I am done?... ok then," he remarked casually, displaying minimal interest in the outco of the assessnt.
Before Ulong could leave, Ery handed him one of the high-grade spirit potions to aid in his training. Before Ery could finish his words, Ulong swiftly consud the entirety of the high-grade spirit potion in a manner reminiscent of drinking a refreshing beverage.
"Yummm, ... can I have more?"
"....Next week"
"Ok, thank you, master"
Finally, Ery turned to the two insectoid siblings. Blaine initially refused to be tested, but fortunately, with his little sister's persuasion, Ery was able to conduct a full checkup on them.

As Ery delved into the results, ticulously analyzing the data, he couldn't help but marvel at the intricacies of the siblings' spirits core. Despite their opposing elental forces, he found a remarkably identical spirit signature between them.
This anomaly intrigued Ery, sparking a cascade of questions about their familial heritage and the unique dynamics of their bloodline. However, his inquiries were t with imdiate defensiveness from Blaine, indicating a reluctance to discuss their background.
Yet, the older brother's attention was refocused when Ery expressed concern about Bellana's low physique and her stage at rank 1 of the bloodline. While Blaine brushed it off as commonplace, VIA's data suggested otherwise, indicating potential underlying issues that warranted attention.
Sensing the tension and reluctance to divulge further, Ery expressed his thoughts "I would not force you to share, however, if you ever need my help, feel free to talk to anyti."
The younger sister, Bellana, appeared eager to unburden herself. Yet, Blaine's protective deanor remained steadfast, his stance unwavering as Ery ushered his sister towards the exit.
As the siblings departed, Ery couldn't help but feel a twinge of concern lingering in the air. Nevertheless, Ery knew that trust was sothing to be earned.
