Not arrogant.

Is the strength you possess related to what you call a[Unique Physique]?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden froze for a split second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His brows drew together. \"You know about that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dion blinked in surprise and looked between them. \"Wait. How do you even know that term?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eldrin’s expression remained calm. \"I have seen it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Arden and Dion stiffened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eldrin continued, \"Not you alone. I have observed members of your sect before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised one claw and counted slowly. \"Three females.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden’s eyes widened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One possessed traits of a dragon,\" Eldrin said. \"Her presence was loud and full of momentum.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dion sucked in a breath. \"That’s Dahlia.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eldrin nodded once. \"Another used illusions, yet her body was not fragile. She fought while laughing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden exhaled. \"Clara.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And the third,\" Eldrin said, pausing briefly, \"was... difficult to sense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He narrowed his eyes. \"Ethereal. Silent. She erased her presence as if she did not exist.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dion whispered, \"Eliza...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden nodded slowly, his expression turning serious. \"Those three are our fellow disciples.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bastor shifted heavily, his massive body creaking slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varyn lifted his head from the shell, eyes narrowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait,\" the serpent hissed. \"There are more like him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bastor’s voice rumbled low. \"More humans who can fight us head-on?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eldrin nodded again. \"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked back at Arden. \"From what I sensed, their power was not far from yours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bastor’s eyes widened slightly. Varyn’s tongue flicked out in agitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Impossible,\" Varyn muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden met their gazes calmly. \"Of course they are.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two beasts stared at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They trained the same way I did,\" Arden continued. \"They walk the same path.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bastor frowned deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eldrin turned slightly toward Bastor and Varyn. \"Now do you understand why I told you both to stop?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eldrin faced Arden again. \"I do not yet understand what this God Gym truly is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, then spoke honestly. \"But any force capable of producing multiple humans like you is not something we can treat lightly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dion let out a low whistle. \"Yeah... that sounds about right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eldrin watched the two of them closely, then spoke again, his tone calm but curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But there is something else that confuses me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden tilted his head slightly. \"What is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You said you are disciples,\" Eldrin continued. \"All of you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden nodded without hesitation. \"Yeah. We are.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bastor’s massive head lowered a little. Varyn’s eyes narrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That makes no sense,\" the serpent said. \"In every sect we have seen, disciples are the weakest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bastor rumbled in agreement. \"They are followers. Learners. Not ones who stand at the front.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dion scratched his head. \"Well... that’s usually true.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden crossed his arms and shrugged. \"Not in our sect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eldrin studied Arden again, more carefully this time. \"Then that brings me to my next question.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, then asked directly, \"Is your master an ancient beast?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden blinked. \"Ancient beast?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dion almost choked. \"Wait, what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eldrin nodded slowly. \"That is what I sensed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lifted a claw slightly, gesturing toward Arden. \"Your[Unique Physique]does not feel human in origin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden stiffened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It feels closer to a beast physique,\" Eldrin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When you awaken it, you are not simply gaining power. You are reshaping your body. You are becoming something closer to a beast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bastor’s eyes widened. Varyn hissed softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But,\" Eldrin added, \"you remain human.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden and Dion stared at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...The hell,\" Dion muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arden frowned, looking down at his own hands. \"You’re saying... we’re turning into beasts?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eldrin shook his head. \"Not fully. You do not lose reason. You do not lose form.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked back up. \"But your bodies are walking the same path as ours. Strength first. Instinct second. Mana follows, not leads.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Arden and Dion were really shocked. What the hell was going on?
