"Hm, there are more records here," Grey said with a curious look as he selected one of the data files.
Coincidentally, it was the record of the middle-stage 2nd ranker.
"Oh?" Grey tilted his head, interest flashing in his eyes. "Well, look who we have here."

[Subject 161]
[Name: Orin Ardent]
[Occupation: City Lord of Ashspire City, Major funder of this experiment.]
Next to the report was the image of a middle-aged man with a neatly tied black bun and a short beard. His calm, composed expression carried the weight of authority, typical of a man who had ruled for years.
"City Lord Orin," Eterna murmured softly.
"How generous of the city lord," Grey said with a smirk. "He personally decided to become an experiment subject when progress stalled. How noble."
Then his grin widened. "But hey, Eterna, doesn't this make things a lot easier for us?"
"We can use it to our advantage," Eterna replied, nodding slightly.
