Clown has joined.
⠀
<Clown> Hey, anyone here?
⠀
<Blood> Yes?
⠀
<Clown> Ah, perfect. You; you have Blood Magic.
⠀
<Blood> Uh… yes? That's not new. What are you getting at?
⠀
<Clown> You're trash.
⠀
<Blood> …do you people have death wishes lately? Do you wanna die, Gray?!
⠀
<Clown> No, I just wanted to insult someone. Thank you. I feel better now.
⠀
Clown has left.
⠀
<White Spring> What have I just witnessed?
⠀
<Blood> That's what I'd like to fucking know!
⠀
…

Gray sighed contently. ”My mind is refreshed,” he said with a revitalized grin toward the pair in front of him. Pronos had already finished awakening and was back on Rakna's shoulder. ”Now, shall we go? You can pass by the Shop if you want and then I'll lead you to the Underground Station so we can head out in the wilderness. You'll reunite with your friends there.”
Rakna nodded. ”Sure. Give me a moment to read this,” he said while inspecting Pronos' magic.

Poison Magic (Lv.1): A simple but deadly bane for all beings. Poison can come in many different ways and their threat is all but small.
⠀
Energy poisons, organic poisons, parasites, acids, viruses, fogs, mutations… All can be done with Poison Magic and if well-used, could even harm the most resilient of beings. Even non-corporeal beings can be hurt if the correct poisons are used.
⠀
The Host can manipulate toxic substances to a certain extent.
⠀
Currently Known Spells: None

⠀
Infinity Magic (Lv.1): The power of infinity is hard to grasp. It was first wielded by the Ouroboros during the dawn of time. Only those acknowledged by the Coiling Serpent have the chance to awaken Infinity Magic.
⠀
This Magic is considered one of the Lost Crafts. Nowadays, scarcely anyone has the required knowledge to properly make use of it. But it was once said that mastering Infinity meant mastering the Laws of Numbers.
⠀
Use: Unknown | Spells: None
⠀
Note: This is a magic that cannot be easily delved upon. Only extensive research and patience will grant you control over its power.

”Looks like you got stuck with a pretty complex ability, little guy,” Rakna commented and Pronos slowly nodded, not understanding a thing about how he should approach Infinity Magic.
When that was done, the two of them left the Awakening Room along with Gray who closed the doors right after they were out.
”All right, you can open those doors if you want to visit the Shop,” the clown pointed at the doors on the other side of the corridor. ”I'm not allowed to come with you by the way. I will wait here.”
”Got it,” Rakna nodded. He put his hand on the doorknob and opened one of the doors. The instant he did that, he felt Gray's presence disappear. What lay on the other side of the double door was very different from what he expected.
Compared to his last visit to the Shop, it was considerably smaller and it actually looked like a proper shop instead of a maze of random aisles. In fact, it felt like a homely antique shop. The walls, floor, and ceiling were all made with a type of dark wood. There was a red carpet in the middle of the room and a fireplace to the left.
Other than that, at least ten different clocks were hanging on the walls for some reason along with several paintings and a few weapons meant for decoration. There was some furniture that served as stands for items of all kinds.
After taking in all of that, Rakna finally directed his eyes at the mischievous grin of a certain vixen sitting behind the counter. ”Welcome to my humble shop, wolfy.”
