The sun arose on the 22nd day of the entrance exams to Anaviotis. Throughout the night, Lyrian was awoken two entire times by the excruciating pain of the Molten Essence trying to take over his body.
As they packed up their stuff to leave, both Alten and Leon could notice how drowsy Lyrain still was, and how sluggishly he moved compared to normal. His expression was also more dull.
Alten asked the reason behind this. Lyrian replied truthfully, "It's the golden slime or whatever I ate from the Earth Guardian. It's trying to take over my body..." He paused, looking to the side in confusion as both Alten and Leon were shocked at the sudden words Lyrain just spoke.
To Lyrian, this was common information, but of course, for the other two, they had no idea what he was talking about all of a sudden.
