”Are you trying to joke around with me? Incredibly mentally weak? How did everyone agree to transfer him into second year? Aren't they asking him to just die? Those damn b*****s.”

Grace's mumbling gradually grew louder. After a cup of coffee, she continued to read through the profile.

”Han is Kuro's mental support. That's why he was allowed to move up.”

Grace pulled out Han's profile once again. She read through to the last few footnotes.

”Two instructors have recommended him as well? Red and Wei Chen. Wei's naturally soft hearted, so I understand. That [Sergeant First class] Red had really put up a letter of recommendation as well?”

Sergeant Red is in reality just an instructor, but everyone refers to him as a sergeant.

During the first wave of aggression, he was one of the legendary psykers who had great contributions. He's officially a military man, and the title of Sergeant (SFC) is only a respectful title. Grace was knowledgeable in this area.

'How rare, a youth recommended by both Wei Chen and Red. They tend to be inclined towards the opposite types of people. It's very hard for anyone to earn both their recommendations at the same time.'

Grace put Han Lee's name well into her mind. She threw off her lab gown and entered the shower room, preparing to sleep early for tomorrow's task.

On the day of surgery, the transferees received precautions from Professor Grace.

They would spend two weeks inside a human incubator. They would pass most of their days sleeping, and when they awoke they would find themselves in excruciating pain.

The pain would be controlled through pain killers as necessary, however the level of pain experienced by individuals varied greatly.

”In extreme cases, you would find yourself awake for half the day. In such cases, most cannot handle the pain and die. Once you come out of the incubators, we will have three weeks of rehabilitation training to fine tune necessary details. Most are unable to recollect memories of the first two weeks, and comment that they felt like they had woken up after a long rest. Don't worry too much.”

Grace continued to repeat most of the information she had lectured, over and over. The smell of hospital sanitizer wafted. Han and the other youths slowly climbed into the incubators. Oxygen masks attached to their mouths, and their bodies submerged completely in water. Blinding dread filled all the youths' minds.

”Ugh.”

Dimitri, who has great pain tolerance, also gritted his teeth in pain.

”Kids, I'll see you guys after two weeks.”

Grace said while closing off the incubator room. The students could not hear her voice. A sleep inducing agent immediately dispersed into the incubators. The students' eyes closed before they could realize anything, and fell asleep.

”The monitoring will be done in three shifts like usual. Press the emergency button once complications are discovered.”

Grace said to the researchers. The operation apparatus attached to the incubators began to move. A needle injector the size of a pinky all shot into the youth's bodies.

”Ugh”

Grace frowned.

No matter how many times she witnessed this scene, her disgust did not change. This was a cold-blooded surgical procedure performed on children. They would be forced into maturity by artificially increasing their bone and muscle density.

'Is humanity worth saving when we must go this far?'

Grace had started smoking again after joining Ark; she also began drinking. It was hard to cope without them.

She let out a heavy sigh in the break room. The cigarette smoke spread thickly into the air.
