The man in front of him with drops of water sliding all over his body due to the rain is Ceger, one of the guards who are responsible for giving him some food every day and telling him when Rus should go to the mountain. Although there are times when he does not bring food for a few days and it has already happened several times that Ceger decides to come earlier than usual to force him to look for more stones."Huh? How weird, I didn"t think you"d talk to me and more with that calm tone. I thought you only talked when you needed us to give you something to eat, whatever, that doesn"t matter right now" Ceger looks at Rus with a look. disinterested "It would be good for the economy of the tribe if you go to the mountain to look for more stones and stop wasting time sleeping. But this time I am here for something more than just bringing you food. There is a pure-blooded dragon that is apparently close of the tribe or within the tribe"
"Pure-blooded dragon? What is that?" Rus asks with confusion, it is the first time he hears something about a pure-blooded dragon. Another thing that his parents did not teach him... Rus, who now has a calm mind due to the pill, he realizes a very important detail regarding his current situation; The roof holes are still covered with the magic of Goro! If Ceger enters his house and sees the roof, it can be really problematic. Rus does not know how he will explain something like that and it would be even worse if he is a.s.sociated with something related to that pure-blooded dragon that seems very important to the tribe.
"A useless slave like you who is only alive to look for stones does not need to know what a pure-blooded dragon is" Ceger looks inside Rus" house, he came to this place only by obligation, but he doesn"t think there"s anything like a pure-blooded dragon hiding in a house with only 4 walls like this "Hmmm? Since when is this place so good is it capable of preventing rain from entering?" He was going to look at the ceiling, but suddenly he feels that something hot comes out of his nose. Ceger touches under his nostrils with his right hand, sees that his hand has some blood.
Rus was thinking of a way to prevent Ceger from looking at the roof of his house, but from one moment to another his body begins to feel very hot. Knowing that it is not time to worry about another strange change in his body, he looks at Ceger to talk to him and try to convince him in some way not to enter his house. But he sees that Ceger"s nose is bleeding and the most curious thing is that when he looks at the blood, his body gets even hotter.
"...What the h.e.l.l?" Ceger does not understand what happens to his body that makes his nose bleed suddenly. Anyway, his body has always been the most important thing for him, so he will not waste any more time in this place "I already verified that there is nothing here, I need to go to the tribe doctor to check me, d.a.m.n it. Now I have to pay that annoying old man 10 solyss! That"s half of what I earn in a month... "He turns around with quick steps as he talks to himself ignoring the presence of Rus. Then he stops, turns his head and tells Rus "I already noticed that your body has changed a little, it seems that you are eating well elsewhere, so do not expect me to bring you more of that soup, it is very annoying to make that soup" With those words, Ceger walks away in the middle of the darkness and the rain, disappearing completely from the sight of Rus.
"Okay..." Rus says while watching Ceger leave, he doesn"t understand what just happened, he closes his eyes to think about everything that happened "Yes, it"s definitely something more related to the strange changes that happened to me in the body" Regarding his more robust body, he can"t do anything, before opening the door he tried to change his physique to be thin as before, but unfortunately it had no effect, the only thing that changed was his height and the color of his eyes and hair
"Sigh" With a sigh, he closes the door, he takes a few steps around his house while thinking about some things. Rus understands that his body has changed a lot and for some reason, his blood has something special. He thinks of Ceger"s nosebleed when Rus was thinking about what to do to prevent Ceger from seeing the ceiling, he started to bleed from his nose, that means that at least the blood inside his body follows his will and desires, or so he believes.
Suddenly he feels some pain in his body, his complexion becomes pale, while he tries to stand up, Rus sees that his hair recovers its red color like blood, then, without enduring more, he throws himself into his bed without energy in his body "Ugh, how lucky I was near the bed..." Rus says with a tired expression, he really didn"t want to fall to the floor. He then feels very sleepy, but before he succ.u.mbs to the dream, he thinks about the reason why his body is in this state, after thinking a little, he quickly concludes that he cannot use the magic card"s skill for a long time, he can probably only use the skill for less than 5 minutes "What is the use of using the skill for only 5 minutes?..." Rus wonders while closing his eyes and falls asleep.
...
A few hours later, Rus opens his eyes slowly, sunlight enters through the holes in the ceiling, he has to raise his hand to cover his face due to the strong light. He sits on his bed with an unfocused look, he clearly remembers everything that happened at night, but he also doubts if everything was real "Could it really have been a dream?" Rus looks at the board that is on the wall nailed "No..." Knowing that everything is real, he organizes his goals in his mind, he needs to gather the mana stones of blood. Yesterday, Rus failed in his plan because Nacus and Fatri noticed that his heart was beating very fast, proving that he was hiding something, but now that Rus swallowed Nahiss"s pill, he no longer has to worry about something like that.
Another thing that Rus wants to do is to know the secrets of his body, he knows that for some reason he can absorb objects such as the magic card in his body, there is also the skill that made Ceger"s nose bleed, helping him prevent Ceger from seeing the ceiling and discovering the magic of Goro.
"Magic of Goro..." He quickly looks at the ceiling and observes that there are no more traces of the spell cast by Goro "So a spell does not last forever, I understand" Rus gets up from his bed, he feels some weakness in his body, It seems that he did not fully recover from the consequences of using the card"s skill.
He is surprised that although he feels that his body is weak, he is still not hungry and he remembers that he was very hungry before all these strange things happened. Without thinking about it, Rus knows that he has to get out fast and go to the mountain, he doesn"t know how much he slept, but he doesn"t care, he remembers that once he woke up too late, as such, some guards beat him up, among those guards was Ceger...
Without bothering to change clothes, since he always uses the same thing, with quick steps, he approaches the door, before opening it, he realizes that he cannot leave with red hair and eyes. Knowing that he has very little time to use the magic card"s skill, he thinks about changing his hair and eyes to black, Rus sees that his hair changes to his previous color, black like his father"s.
He quickly leaves his house, runs through the streets of the tribe with agility, runs at full speed, Rus is surprised at his speed, was accustomed to his previous speed and would obviously realize that his current speed is at least twice as fast.
The people of the tribe who walk around see it as usual, with a look of disgust, but now there is something more than disgust in their eyes, there are curiosity and surprise. They do not understand how that child can run so fast, they are used to seeing that child run through these places every morning to go to the mountain of Rushu flowers, but it is the first time they see him running so fast that they hardly recognize Rus because his figure is somewhat blurred.
Rus smiles smugly when he sees the expressions of the people of the tribe who always despise him. Then he sees many people running in a group towards the mountain. All are slaves who serve the tribe, every day they must go up and look for stones for 5 hours. Rus, who was in a good mood before, now he has an expression of helplessness to see that even slaves are better treated than he who has to look for stones for 12 hours a day!
The slaves who run in a group in silence, see that Rus runs very close to where they are, suddenly they look at him with fear, they move away as much as possible from him and let him pa.s.s without even daring to look at him.
Rus smiles bitterly, he is already accustomed to the slaves being afraid of him, 3 years ago they were nicer to him, there was even a slave with whom he got along particularly well, a 13-year-old boy with short and messy hair. That boy was called Huriz, a boy with a cheerful personality who always smiled when he talked to him, one day, the guards realized that Rus was too friendly with Huriz, they only told Rus to stay away from slaves, but to Huriz... The next day that boy of only 13 years did not return to the mountain again, he died, the guards killed him in a terrible beating. Rus was not very affected by Huriz"s death, he was not a friend of Rus or something, he was only a child with whom he spoke from time to time, but that increased his desire to leave the tribe and also made his desire to take revenge on the tribe even stronger.
Stop thinking about things from the past and increase your speed since you don"t have much time because your body feels increasingly tired, indicating that the magic card"s skill is running out.

In just 3 minutes, Rus arrives at the door of the tribe, where some guards are handing out the bags used to store the stones. One of those guards with an imposing figure sees Rus who has just arrived and with a somewhat cold tone says "Boy, since yesterday there is no trace of Nacus and Fatri, do you know anything about them? I"m sure you were the last to see them, then you must know something"
