A magus dressed in black attire was sitting anxiously on a moving capsule. The capsule rapidly moved through a long metal construct, heading towards the yellow planet of Hyperion, where all the privileged class acolytes were staying.

A few minutes later, the capsule he was in finally arrived at its destination and opened its door. As he walked out, a blue-haired female magus cladded in grey formal uniform was already waiting for him.

"Nice to meet you, Magus Xion. I'm Ramora, the one who contacted you. Please follow me."

Magus Xion nodded and gestured with his hand. The two then walked towards the lab facilities that were provided for the acolytes. Magus Xion grew more anxious when he saw they were completely ignoring and walking past all the empty rooms, heading to one particular corner.

"Please be warned. He's currently handled by the best experts the academy provided to the privileged class."

The words of warning only made the anxious Magus Xion feel ballooned even more.

After taking a deep breath to suppress the growing anxiety within him, Magus Xion opened his mouth.

"Just let me see him."

Seeing the serious look on Magus Xion's face, Magus Ramora nodded her head and led the way. The door was opened and the two quickly walked inside. What was presented in front of Xion's eyes greatly surprised him.

There he was, his disciple, currently in his unique wolf form, but he had been placed against the wall by metal chains attached to all four of his limbs. With much concern, Magus Xion subconsciously approached his disciple in a hurry.

"Emery!" Magus Xion said before Magus Ramora stopped him in his tracks.

He turned his head towards her and was about to argue, when the half wolf figure being held against the wall suddenly awakened and started screaming wildly, trying to break free from his restraints.

Magus Xion saw his disciple in pain, but he could tell Emery was not in control of his body.

The people stationed around the wolf figure went on to temporarily defuse the situation, one of the staff quickly approached Magus Ramora and asked, "Should we sedate him again?"

She looked at the figure on the wall for a while, before returning her attention to the staff and replying.

"No, later. Give it a few minutes."

Magus Ramora then approached Magus Xion, who was still surprised by his diciple's behavior,

"Magus Xion, this acolyte has no Grand Magus assigned to him, so no one here took care of him And being from a lower realm, we have to reach to. You are his unofficial master, I heard?"

Magus Xion, whose gaze was still fixed on that particular figure, shook his head and said,

"No. He is my disciple and I am his master. Tell me what's wrong with him."

The answer took Magus Ramora by surprise, but she quickly recollected herself and continued.

"He has been like this for the past 24 hours, unable to return to his normal form. I realized this was a completely different form to the one he had shown before in the game. Do you by any chance have any knowledge about this?"

Magus Xion seemed to be pondering about something, before he opened his mouth again.

"This is obviously because of his bloodline. Do you not have any data about it?"

An awkward look appeared on Magus Ramora's face when she heard that.

"Well actually, with the complicated things happening with the Wolf Bloodline, we have no one directly available at this time."

Hearing this, Magus Xion let out a sigh and added.

"He was completely fine before he came to this planet. Did he encounter any creature on any other dangerous thing on this planet?"

Magus Ramora shook her head. "No, I don't think so. The records stated that he only went to one place the whole time before the match."

A glint passed over Magus Xion's eyes when he heard that.

"Where?"

Upon hearing the question, Magus Ramora turned around and pointed at the two people standing a few steps away from them. Moving his gaze following her hand, Magus Xion finally saw who they were.

He was so anxious about Emery's condition he just realized there were actually two dwarves among the half dozen staff present in the room.

The two people quickly noticed Magus Xion's attention on them. When they saw Magus Ramora standing beside him, they immediately knew who he was.

"Ehem Yes, he was with us, but he was fine when he left our facility," the dwarf with a red beard said, hanging on his chin.

Before Magus Xion could ask more, Magus Ramora interjected.

"Master Dulin has been here to explain and help examine your disciple's condition since yesterday. The gentleman here, Master Grom, on the other hand, is Emery's master in Apothecary."

Even though the two artisans were dwarfs, they were still famous and respected experts, hence even Magus Ramora talked to them with respect. Magus Xion, however, was so concerned about Emery's condition he didn't care much about such matters.

"Master Dulin, is it?" Magus Xion asked in a calm voice. Though he was anxious, he knew being unreasonable now wouldn't help his disciple. "Please tell me what treatment he was having and if there was any abnormality during the process."

Master Dulin explained it was all standard treatment and that there was no abnormality. However, Magus Xion looked unconvinced, as he noticed the red beard dwarf was obviously trying to hide something.

This was supported by the fact that Master Grom was eerily silent, causing suspicion to sprout. In addition, they had been taking care of Emery for 24 hours.

Why do they care so much to hang around the last 24 hours?

Magus Xion turned his gaze at Emery again, seeing his disciple's appearance that looked like a wild beast, he decided to not care about anything else and glared at the two dwarves' master.

"With respect, I don't need to know what actually happened in your facility. I only want to know one thing: can you cure him?"

Hearing such insolent words, Master Grom immediately enraged.

"What are you implying by those words?! Who are you to say such a thing to me?!"

The atmosphere suddenly turned tense and subsequently chaotic when the two dwarfs started defending themselves, while Magus Ramora tried to pacify the situation.

Eventually, both parties calm down.

Master Grom calmly said, "He is my disciple too, but we all know these kinds of things tend to happen to someone who is forcing themselves too far!"

Magus Xion noticed how Magus Ramora was convinced by the dwarf's logic, hence became annoyed. He knew that if Emery came from a prominent family or had a Grand Magus behind him, unfortunate things like this would not happen.

He tightened his fists, as he held the urge to scream of his incapability, but in the end, he decided to calm himself and come with a plan.

"Magus Ramora," he drawled, while glancing at the two people. "and two esteemed masters, what I am about to tell you is a secret. But I can assure you it's very crucial to our current situation."

The serious expression Magus Xion had on his face as he spoke made the trio nervous, hearing his next words made them surprised, especially the two dwarves.

"Because of this matter, it's very important for this acolyte to return to normal as soon as possible. Otherwise" Magus Xion deliberately left his words at that point and it showed an apparent result.

Xion's words swiftly made the two dwarves get up from their arrogant attitude, and gave their all in finding a way to solve Emery's current state.
