Chapter 190

If the saying that Enon lived for a long ti is true, then he could treat Thais Yulman, an old man, like a child. But actually seeing that in front of his eyes made him feel strange.

"Well, the story you told is interesting in itself. Since there are many gaps and I haven't seen it with my own eyes, it's difficult to say anything just by listening."

"That..."

"Well, as long as you belong sowhere, I know you can't just say everything you want. I can roughly tell that you have various restrictions."

While excluding the parts that couldn't be discussed, so parts inevitably had to be condensed in order to speculate on the cause through unrelated events. Since the change in the spot on the back of the hand and last night's experint were the important things, Enon seed to pay little attention to other details.

"I'm sorry I can't give you the answer you were expecting, but there is sothing that ca to mind while listening. Should I tell you that?"

"Anything is fine."

"Let's assu that the old mage was right, and just a slight exposure to the power of the Red Stone can transform a person into an Awakener. It sounds good in theory, but in reality, you could think of it as a poison. A small amount can be a dicine, but if used in large quantities, it becos a poison. There are plenty of materials in this world that beco toxic when used in large quantities."

Although Yuder didn't know why he chose to compare it to poison, Yuder could relate to the feeling, so Yuder decided to continue listening to his words.

"If the cause of the spot on the back of your hand is indeed the power of the Red Stone, it might be better to understand what happened afterward as an attempt to poison soone who is immune to a specific poison. Even if you're immune, it takes a very long ti to fully recover once a lethal dose of poison is injected. The more dangerous the poison, the longer it takes."

"...An attempt to poison."

Yuder repeated his words softly. It felt strange because he had a physical body that was immune to naturally occurring toxins and didn't suffer any harm from them.

"The sa goes for divine power. It doesn't recover easily. A body immune to poison is no different from a living poison in that it can't be completely eliminated. So detoxification doesn't an completely eliminating the poison from the body, but rather weakening it and then helping to absorb it so that the body becos more toxic. That's what it ans to be 'recovered' from poison. Do you understand what I an?"

"To so extent."

"Consider a body that has been constantly trying to assimilate and ta that powerful toxic power, which is like concentrated poison, as its own after digesting the power of the Red Stone. If it has succeeded to so extent, what do you think will happen?"

Yuder remained silent for a mont before opening his mouth.

"Does that an my body has beco like that?"

"I don't know. It's just my thought."

Enon shrugged his shoulders in response.

"As soone who has been running an apothecary for a long ti, I thought about it while listening to your story. The second gender manifestation is an event where the body undergoes a significant transformation, just like the awakening itself. And you survived that transformation with poison in your body. Moreover, your energy has beco more stable since yesterday."

"It's not poison, but power, I suppose."

"Well, well."

Enon mumbled absentmindedly as he looked at the lemon in his hand.

"If you have succeeded in absorbing or assimilating that power to so extent, you might be considered a living dium... No, no different from the Red Stone itself. Or maybe by adding the essence to your original power, you could beco several tis stronger than before."

"..."

It seed like a wild guess, but there was a strange sense of reason behind it.

‘If I felt like I could touch the power of the Red Stone with my own power... Then maybe the origin of the spreading spot that caused pain in my body wasn't like a festering wound, but the original power of the Red Stone gradually entering and expanding within my body.’

While contemplating this thought, Yuder continued to gaze at his right hand wrapped in a glove, while Enon's voice kept echoing in his ears.

"If you think that way, there might be so reason to speculate why your energy is fluctuating like that. Since you suddenly accepted such a powerful force and have been fighting against it, do you think the foundation might remain intact?"

"I don't think I've been in such a bad condition to the point where it's dangerously unstable."

"That's because your constitution is so good. If you were like the others here, you would have already been unable to endure and died."

"...Good constitution?"

With a perplexing complint, Yuder tilted his head and asked. In response, Enon frowned deeply.

"Enough. Don't keep making hear complints like that."

He was about to deny that such a thing existed, but Enon had already flexed his arm and stood up abruptly.

"I think I've heard enough for now."

"Enon, wait a mont."

"What now?"

Seeing Enon's sharp fangs exposed as he turned around, it seed like it would be better not to hold him back any further. Yuder remained silent for a mont, then picked up a lemon from the untouched table and handed it to Enon.

"Take this too. I won't eat it."

"Oh, okay."

"Today, it felt like I was the only one who kept listening, so next ti, feel free to ask anything. If I can answer, I'll tell you everything."

‘Including about my previous life.’

Sensing the underlying aning, Enon narrowed his eyes for a mont before turning away.

"Fine. Got it."

He put the two lemons in his pocket and swiftly disappeared without giving Yuder a chance to say goodbye.

‘It's almost as if he joined the Cavalry just to watch over .’

Yuder sighed deeply and sat down on the road.

Co to think of it, although Enon wasn't a mber of the Cavalry, he belonged to the sa unit. Could he be considered as an ally? Even though he didn't specify, if there was a need to ask for help, Yuder planned to shalessly seek him out. But it would be better to get closer before making any imdiate proposals.

‘He might dislike it if I propose right away... I should wait until we beco a bit closer and find an opportunity.’

—---

The next day, as soon as Yuder woke up, he finished his ditation and went out to the training ground behind the accommodations. Even though it was morning, enthusiastic soldiers had already gathered for individual training.

"Yuder!"

Among them, Gakane, who was running around the training ground with a noticeable shadow clone, spotted Yuder and rushed over with a bright face to greet him.

"Are you completely released from the dical division now?"

"Yeah."

"That's great. Maybe it's because of the hard work you put in all this ti, but it seems like you've lost so weight. Did you have breakfast?"

"Yeah, I did."

"That's good. Let's train together today!"

Yuder nodded slightly to indicate that he had eaten, and Gakane lightly patted his back, sporting a smile. His face was so refreshing that it made him montarily forget the fact that he was drenched in sweat. At the sa ti, Yuder felt a slight release of the energy that had been surrounding Gakane's body, making him realize once again that he had manifested a second gender.

‘Co to think of it... Gakane is also an Alpha.’

The energy that he couldn't feel before his second gender manifestation was probably the presence of Gakane as an Alpha. It wasn't as overwhelming or tense as when facing Kishiar's energy, but it definitely made him aware that Gakane was a being with a different nature than himself.

When he manifested as an Oga without a scent in his previous life, he had been completely dull to his own scent as well as the scents and energies of others who had second gender manifestation. He had hardly ever experienced this kind of sensation.

‘Manifesting with a distinct scent definitely feels different.’

"Why are you looking at like that? Did sothing get on my face?"

As Yuder thought about it, he must have been staring too intensely because Gakane wiped his forehead and cheek with a bewildered expression. Of course, there was nothing on him except sweat.

"No, it's just that after the manifestation, I can clearly feel that you are different from ."

Gakane widened his eyes in surprise at the honest answer, then burst into laughter.

"Haha, you're only realizing that now? It's interesting to see that Yuder has so areas of inexperience."

After saying that, he advised Yuder that he would start experiencing that sensation quite frequently from now on, and warned him to stay away from Alpha mbers who exude a strong scent right before their heat.

"I know from my own experience that the emotions of an Alpha Awakener in heat can beco intense. According to the rules set by the Commander, as soon as the heat cos, it's mandatory isolation and leave, so there probably won't be many chances for encounters... But it's always good to be cautious and avoid any harm from both sides."

"Gakane, have you ever t an Oga Awakener during their heat?"

Suddenly curious, Yuder asked, and Gakane casually shook his head.

"No, I haven't. I saw an Oga Awakener for the first ti only after joining the Cavalry. But even if the heat cos, I don't have any intention to et soone within the unit, so I'll take my leave and just rest."

It was indeed an exemplary answer. Yuder recalled the incidents of promiscuity within the unit caused by individuals who would use the heat as an excuse during his ti as the Commander. Even though there were sleeping scents and calming dicines prepared to spend the heat comfortably, there were always those who wanted to undermine the discipline within the unit.

'So of them even snuck into my bedroom, claiming they could suppress the scentless Oga Commander with their scents…'

Those culprits had vanished only after he'd beaten them until all their limbs and d*cks were broken and then hung them upside down on the barrack roof. However, the rebellion continued every now and then, arguing about how a half-wit who never experienced a heat period could oppress them.

While recalling bitter mories, Yuder took out two papers he had prepared in advance from his lodging and stuck them on the nearby wall.

"Yuder, what's this? A plan?"

"It's the revised training schedule for the Cavalry from now on."
