That night, the group had gathered in the living room as they were looking at Clovis, who received Hana’s call.
"I think I deserve an explanation, right? In our relationship, both of us are equal."
"I know." Clovis nodded. "But before that, is the connection secured?"
"We have thirty minutes."
"Alright. First of all, do you know about the super injection? And do you know the meaning of the dosage? What’s the dosage for each Tier, and what will happen if the dosage is decreased or increased?"

Hana paused for a moment. "Super injection, huh?" Hana paused for a moment. "Yes, I do know. For each tier, huh? They should be 500, 2,000, 5,000, 15,000, and 50,000 ml. That’s for Tier 0 to Tier 4 respectively.
"Because I’m busy with my company, I don’t have a lot of time to hunt. So my essence comes mostly from the super injection. Of course, I’m also taking my time to hunt personally, but I’ve also learned a lot about the super injection.
"During the super injection, it’s normal for them to decrease the dosage. After all, you’ll be entering a ’dreamy’ state where you have to endure the will of the beasts whose essence is mixed in that super injection.
"A lot of people don’t have the strong mental ability to endure it, so they usually lower the dosage. However, increasing the dosage is not recommended. They’re not entirely impossible, but they will cause a lot of strain for both your physical body and mental state.
"Only those who are strong enough will be allowed to increase their dosage by about 10 to 20 percent. They usually do it so that the injection takes less time."
Clovis frowned. "What about the absorption rate? If the absorption rate remains the same, won’t it just take the same amount of time?"
"Not necessarily. The absorption rate is actually linked directly with the dosage. For example, if your dosage is increased from 5,000 to 6,000, your absorption rate can increase from 500 ml per second to 600. After all, increasing the dosage means pushing you to endure more and forcing the essence to merge slightly faster in your body."
Clovis paused for a moment. "What if you increase your dosage by more than 20 percent?"
"It’s still possible, but it’ll definitely take a toll on your body. In the worst-case scenario, it can be fatal. Even if you can escape death, you might need to use a wheelchair for the rest of your life."
Clovis’ expression turned cold. He finally entered the main topic. "What if you take 4 or 5 times your suggested dosage? For example, a Tier 2 getting 25,000 ml…"
"Are you insane? You are going to die right away, completely devoured by those beasts in that dreamy state. Your brain will cease functioning, and your heart will explode. There have been several experiments in the past, and the only thing you need to know is that the end result is miserable. Your family won’t even recognize your corpse." Hana’s voice started getting agitated.
However, Clovis fell silent after that.
Kanaria and Erwin exploded.
"That fucking doctor! We need to kill him!" Kanaria gritted her teeth.
"I should have snapped his neck when I had the chance." Erwin clenched his fists tighter.
"Wait. Who is talking in the background? Your guys are with you now?" Hana soon connected the dots. "Clovis. That number was oddly specific. Don’t tell me…"
"Yeah. That was what happened during the super injection. My dosage was 25,000 ml."
"Are you alright?" Instead of exploding in anger, Hana’s voice was filled with worries.
"I’m fine. I think that I can handle a bit higher."
"Huh? Did the super injection mess with your head?" Hana was confused.
"No. That’s actually linked to the second point in this discussion. What about the absorption rate?"
"In the normal case, the absorption rate is about 5% to 10% of the dosage. So if your dosage is 5,000 ml, your absorption rate will be 250 to 500. Don’t tell me…"
"Yes. The last number I saw was 4,000."
"Are you… a human?" Hana’s voice this time contained a tinge of astonishment, which confused Clovis.
"Is there something wrong?"
"No human can increase the absorption rate. They are linked directly to the dosage. And your absorption rate is 8 times the maximum rate, even though your dosage only increases by 4 times. And you’re asking me, ’Is there something wrong?’ Are you sane?" Hana became frustrated this time. "No one had ever done it, including all Tier 9 humans in the world."
Clovis blinked a few times. Jay and Erwin frowned as if realizing Clovis’ hidden strength.
"I can kind of understand why they want to use you as an experiment. How is it? I can pay."
"If I want to do it, it’s better if I go to my mother, don’t you think?" Clovis’ voice became cold.
"Fair enough." Hana fell into deep thought. "Well, I can kind of understand what’s going on. Your call in the morning was your method to let your grandfather know, right?"
"I’m sorry."
"It’s fine, I can understand that. If they know about it, you are screwed. A lot of people, especially shady organizations, would definitely open that body of yours. And currently, you don’t have your family name.
"I’ve been warned by the president of your country, but I’m not backing down. Besides, I changed the story. I told him that you had personally agreed to visit me in a few months, which allowed me to hide the previous transaction. Make sure our stories match."
"Got it." Clovis nodded. He wanted to say that the number actually spiked when he entered his perfect state, but the perfect state was still a secret. Even though Hana probably realized that it was a special power that a Tier 9 had, it wouldn’t be good to reveal it that easily.
Besides, Hana would probably draw a conclusion of her own, which would confirm his potential. With this, Hana would be more sincere in their business.
"Anyway, that was what happened."
"I see. I understand the situation. Do you want to sue them?"
"I don’t want to get into more trouble than this. Besides, my grandfather should have talked to them personally, so I’ll drop this matter for now."
"Alright. If you want to know more about your body, I can arrange a few scientists for you."
"Bye!" Clovis hung up before turning to the others while shrugging as if saying, ’That’s what happened.’
Meanwhile, Hana’s reaction was a bit more intense.
Hana leaned back on her chair while covering her eyes. "I couldn’t say it since it was based on rumor, but they said the absorption rate was actually related to their affinity. A person could only have a single affinity… But if the rumor is true, that means Clovis has more than one affinity, which is unprecedented in history. Is this his unique quality, the one that will push him to Tier 9?
"And the fact that his friends have become more talented... Is it a trait that affects not only him but also the people around him? It seems that I have to re-evaluate him since it won’t be just him but also the people in his group.
"Still, how can he handle that kind of dosage? Is he that unaffected by those beasts? Or he might be able to actually fight or devour those beasts… Hahaha, there’s no way he can do that. We are unable to move in that dreamy state after all."
Hana paused for a moment. "Nevertheless, the main problem is that… we can’t have this matter leak outside. If they know Clovis will become a Tier 9 in the future, those people will go crazy and probably do everything they can to bring him to them… No, no. They can’t steal him from me."
Hana somehow reached the most ruthless but the most logical solution. "Alright. Let’s eliminate that doctor and the staff involved in the super injection so that no one will live to tell the tale."
