That pollution had vanished as well.
'It feels a bit dangerous, though.'
'Why was there so much pollution?'
Kumironi sighed in relief. "Just as I thought. This is completely different from when you advanced to a Level 3 Mage."
"Sister Kumironi, what exactly is the nature of this pollution?"
Kumironi said, "That's a topic we in the Life Church are researching, but progress has been extremely slow."
"After all, there are very few early awakeners these days."
"We don't have a sufficient pool of subjects to study."
As Kumironi spoke, her gaze lingered on Lu Cang.
'In truth, Lu Cang would be an excellent research subject.'
'It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him the perfect subject.'
'But...'
'How could I possibly do that to him?'
"Lu Cang, you have to protect yourself."
"A lot of people are probably interested in you now."
Lu Cang nodded earnestly. "I will."
