Chapter 130 Affinity Treatment
Zoravec was sure about the possibility of other species to exist, and he agreed with the whole theory of the universe being vast. He was aware that perhaps the healer's words were true, and it was obvious that considering it the existence of other elements was also possible. Only problem was that everything seemed to be unexplored.
There was still a lot more which snagged Zoravec's attention and he needed to know more about it. Blake on the other hand began to focus on his own statistics upon realising that he saw the slot of element. It amazed him that he possessed the fire element which meant that he had the affinity to access that power.
"Um, what is your element, Blake? Does it show you anything on your stats?"
Zoravec shifted his head towards Blake and asked him before he could proceed with his questions. He was sure that it was the easiest way to testify to the healer's words quickly. Blake was caught off the guard upon being confronted like that.
"Uh? Ah, it says fire element. But the stats are nearly non-existent for me to access this power."
Blake stuttered but soon grasped his senses as he replied to the question. He was sure that the whole army enrollment thing was not as simple as it seemed. They demanded a video permit from the guardians if they existed, which meant that there was a lot more hidden.
Zoravec turned towards the healer to inquire more about the basic information. Well, which was somewhat basic and everyone should have known. But perhaps most applicants who were human seemed to be unaware of what was about to happen to them.
And since the healer had been giving them all the information without any hesitation, Zoravec wanted to extort whatever he could before the healer could change his mind. Thus, he turned his head towards him after getting an answer from Blake.
"A human cannot possibly access these powers or any kind of mana. Is there any way the pentagon will aid us in this matter?"
The healer was baffled by his quick observation and the way Zoravec was able to understand things effortlessly. It made him genuinely impressed by his skills and he prepared himself to satiate Zoravec's curiosity.
"I am in no position to tell you anything, not like I am aware of the details anyway."
The healer gave the truthful answer as he was not really aware of what was the plan of the army. However, there were certain skills and processes which were obvious to predict and the healer could possibly inform them.
"I am not sure how they are planning to do that but they must have crafted some way to increase the affinity of the candidates. After all, without affinity or less it is impossible that anyone can access the powers."
Zoravec nodded while thinking carefully, he knew whatever the healer said was kind of true. And considering that in mind there must be something planned by the vampires to let that happen.
"Is it possible that they are preparing us to accept any kind of mutation or similar thing?"
Zoravec bluntly asked him without caring for hiding anything this time. He did not want to keep anything to himself acknowledging that it was his only chance to be mentally prepared. There was a higher chance that the army was preparing them for the worst by providing them with insights about their stats.
It was obvious that the candidates would get anxious about their meagre statistics, and will definitely accept anything offered by the army next on. Zoravec was able to see through the psychology they had been using and it made him even more cautious and curious regarding the outcome.
Now that he could see through their plan, all he wished to know about the further offers. He wanted to know the opportunities the pentagon will offer them for affinity improvement. The only possible guess he could take was the conversion into a dhampir. However, he was not sure if all of them could survive that session and the transformation phase.
"Well, that is the basic 'treatment' they offer to the candidates. But it does not sit well with everyone and most people die during the transformation due to excessive pain and muscle spasms. I cannot reply to you on this issue on their behalf, it is possible they might have found some other solution."
The healer's words held weight since he was just an outsider invited there to conduct the healing sessions. Zoravec could trust his words with the grain of salt while Blake got a bit scared as he stood by his side. He could see his measly unimpressive stats and did not intend to turn himself into a dhampir.
There was no way he could escape any such offer when the outcome was impressive. However the assumed pain and the slim possibilities of surviving made him rethink. He did not want to die without making the Westwood household [his family] proud. Blake waited for Zoravec to dig into that matter since he had the skill of talking and extorting the information.
Whereas Zoravedc could potentially see how the elves and vampires treated the humans. It was obvious from the words he chose even though his tone had no such visible despised tinge. While picking up the term 'treatment' to state that the humans were having some sort of sickness and that was why they possessed no powers.
Zoravec and Blake were equally offended but kept it hidden as they appeared calm on the surface. They could not afford to make a mess or rebel that sooner without the confirmation about the healer's words. Zoravec lowered his head and took a pause to think for a moment before proceeding further.
He was not sure whether to put faith into his words regarding the system or not. But the curiosity about his stats was also killing him as he wished to measure his current waters.
