Clovis gradually opened his eyes, feeling refreshed.
The staff suddenly came to him and opened his tube, bringing a towel for him.
"Thank you." Clovis nodded while coming out of the tube.
The staff didn’t say anything, his face was still showing a shocked expression.
Clovis didn’t know why, but he also saw some shocked faces in the past. Hence, he thought it wasn’t anything special.
The doctor hurriedly came to Clovis with a forced smile.
"Congratulations, you are the first. Do you feel anything uncomfortable?"
Clovis looked at his hands and body before shaking his head. "No. Everything is perfectly fine. I do feel I have gotten stronger."
The doctor asked, "Did you experience something unusual while absorbing the essence?"
"Mhmm? What do you mean? Is there something wrong?" Clovis tilted his head in confusion.
"Please don’t worry. We just want to confirm a few things." The doctor waved his hand.
Considering the last person who handled the super injection was a manager, he thought that such a person wouldn’t go into detail. On the other hand, this person was a doctor, so he obviously handled it in a different way.
Clovis said, "There’s nothing special. This is my second experience, so I get used to it pretty well."
"Are you sure?"
Clovis couldn’t help but feel a bit annoyed by the doctor’s persistence. It was as if something went wrong.
"Why do you keep asking me? Is there something wrong? I might be able to think of something if you tell me about it."
The doctor scratched the back of his head, wondering whether he should tell Clovis about it. After some consideration, the doctor chose which one remained a secret and which one he should reveal.
"Your absorption rate spiked in the last ten minutes. Did you notice anything different during that time?"
Clovis maintained his poker face. His sense of time was a bit distorted during the injection, but he couldn’t help but think about one possibility.
’Is it my perfect state? Is it able to increase my absorption rate? What is going on with this perfect state?’ Clovis became a bit more curious about his perfect state.
All this time, he had been busy searching for a way to trigger his perfect state. But he had never really explored this kind of power.
He thought that he would find out sooner or later when he met his parents. Since his mother was a doctor and his father was a powerful expert, they might know something about it. If not, his grandfather might be able to explain it.
However, it seemed that the perfect state was much more mysterious than he originally thought.
’The perfect state is able to increase the absorption rate. What does this mean? The perfect state itself allows me to activate the affinities of all evolution traits. Does that mean the absorption rate is actually related to the evolution traits? Brain, Muscles, Bones, Blood, or Heart…’
There were a lot of questions in his head, but he chose to keep the perfect state a secret. He shook his head helplessly. "I can’t recall anything. I felt like I just tried super hard at the last moment."

The doctor was a bit disappointed in his answer. "If that’s the case, do you mind if I ask you a few questions? It’s just going to be a couple questions, so it won’t take long. Or do you want to wear your clothes first?"
"If it’s not going to take long, you can ask me now." Clovis confirmed it with a nod.
The doctor began to ask a couple of questions. While he was at it, Erwin gradually opened his eyes as he had finished absorbing the essence.
"Huu…" His tube was also unlocked the moment he was done as someone came to him with a towel.
"Thank you." Erwin grabbed the towel while checking on his other teammates. To his surprise, Clovis was actually standing outside his tube nonchalantly.
"Oh. Erwin!" Clovis waved his hand. "Are you done?"
"Yeah. You haven’t gone in yet? You better hurry up since it’s going to take a long time." Erwin nodded nonchalantly.
Just when he wanted to brag that he was the first, Clovis casually said, "I’m already done."
"You’re done? What? You mean you’re done absorbing the essence?" Erwin furrowed his eyebrows.
"Yeah."
"20% on each of your evolution traits?"
"Yeah. All of them have increased by 20%." Clovis nodded. "Since it’s my second injection, I can manage it better."
"Huh?" Erwin furrowed his eyebrows. He couldn’t help but turn to the doctor and rush toward him.
"Erwin?" Clovis was startled. The doctor and the staff also didn’t expect Erwin to suddenly move.
Erwin grasped the doctor’s neck and lifted him up while shouting in anger, "You bastard! What have you done?!"
"W-Wha—!" The doctor grabbed Erwin’s arm, struggling to break free. "You… what are you trying to do?"
"Erwin? What’s going on? Why did you attack the doctor?" Clovis raised his stance, wondering if something had happened to Erwin.
Erwin finally understood the problem. He roared at the doctor. "Do you think you can handle the consequences of using a human as your experiment?"
"Erwin. What’s going on?" Clovis was completely confused.
"It seems that you don’t know about it, but every single person has their own dosage. The absorbing speed is tied directly to your evolution rate. In other words, all the people on the team are supposed to have more than six times your absorption speed. Even if your mentality is strong, it won’t be weird for you to take at least four times longer than us.
"Yet, you are done even faster than me, who doesn’t need a full 20%. What does that mean?" Erwin was furious.
Clovis’ body tensed up as if realizing something. The beasts actually increased a few times, which might also be the result of what happened outside. And after listening to Erwin, there was only one possibility.
Erwin gritted his teeth before saying, "He is increasing the dosage only on you, which is completely breaking the rule. Not to mention the fact that he didn’t say anything about this. You have become the subject of an experiment without your knowing it."
