July 16, the second day after the Clinic arrived in East Sea County.
In the freshness of the morning, when the air was moist and the mist had just dispersed, at the former location of the East Sea City healing house, several black-clothed robust men, obviously clothed in combat uniforms, were engaged in their daily morning exercises. Their heavy footsteps pounded on the earth, making deep boot impressions in the soil and sending pebbles scattering in all directions.
A portion of the Clinic's doctors found a quieter spot, either sitting cross-legged or assuming the horse stance of traditional martial arts training, deeply focused. Their sturdy chests expanded and contracted rhythmically, the breath exhaled through their nostrils was forceful and loud. Heartbeat, breathing, and the pace of circulating blood constantly stimulated the Demon Seed within as they reached a particular frequency.
Magnetic fields of varying strengths released, stacking upon each other.
