37 Chapter 37 : Buster Drug (2/2)
She raised her index finger and answered
”Once a week you'll come here so I can examine your body. I'm not confident but I may be able to create a temporary cure which will halt your deteriorating body.”
She presented the two vials to Bin, who snatched them.
”Deal.”
Ann nodded her head and proceeded to tell him how to use the drug. It's quite simple but the injection can't be used anywhere on the body, it has to be in the middle of his chest and nowhere else.

Aldren watched the unfolding event without uttering a word. He never imagined things to turn out this way, to think he thought that a dying person was a vampire…
…
As the youth was driving him back to Jasmine's house, Bin said
”Don't tell anyone.”
His tone wasn't as cold as before, it sounded more like a request. In response, Aldren repeatedly nodded his head while saying
”Yeah yeah don't worry, I'm quite tight-lipped.”
As the trip took more than just a few minutes, Aldren didn't want to bathe in this awkward silence so he started a conversation with deadpan Bin.
”How come your serving Jasmine? Don't you have better things to do? You're dying, after all.”
Aldren was truly curious about Bin, who would rather work under Jasmine rather than enjoy his remaining days.
Bin let out a sigh and said
”Then what would you have me do?”
The dandy youth pondered for a moment before speaking:
”I don't know… tour the world, drink in bars…”
A chuckle escaped Bin's mouth as he heard Aldren's words.
”… And to do all of that… with what money? Yours?”
Aldren didn't know how to respond to what Bin just said so he just kept fidgeting in his seat.
”Not everyone is as carefree as you people. I have responsibilities and people to take care of.”
The short conversation ended with that, causing the awkwardness to return thus making Aldren rather uncomfortable. Bin didn't care as he leaned on the chair and enjoyed the ride. He wanted to rest but his rapidly beating heart made him feel very energetic.
Jasmine will definitely through a fit of anger because he left on short notice.

Back in the lab, Ann was re-examining the test results and trying to understand what's wrong with Bin's body. The more she dug, the more surprised she became.
'This is ridiculous!'
She stared at a white sheep of paper with many red lines on it. The lines indicated the heart beat of the test subject in a period of time.
'How can a person have such a fast heartbeat? Is it because of the Mana? B-but this isn't right, Mana is supposed to affect the heart. Why does the body keep absorbing the Mana endlessly? Where's the threshold?'
Ever since the apparition of Mana and Magic on Earth one hundred years ago, every human's body adapted and became able to absorb Mana. Every person has a certain threshold, some are called 'gifted' because their threshold is higher than the average hence their ability to use proper 'Magic'. Bin does not have a threshold and his body is like a vacuum, absorbing every bit of Mana around him.
'If it's absorbing Mana non-stop, he should have died a long time ago… how come he survived till now? Is it some kind of Metamorphosis? Or is he really not human? No, that shouldn't be right. He's definitely human but…'
She looked at the ultrasound results and noticed a minuscule object at the center of the heart.
'What is that? It's… metallic? Is it artificial? I need to run more tests!'
