Chapter 87
Tokyo Area 39, Fairy Tail…
Inside his own quarters, Noah tossed aside the cloth sack he always carried and he just let himself go on the sofa . He massaged his eyes, it’s obvious that he’s very tired .
Noah would rather fight Gastreas for a whole day than verbal arguments with Seitenshi and Kikunojo .
It’s frankly very tiring on the mind .
Even after a year of being harassed, Noah didn’t want to go through this at all .
In one year’s time, he had already more or less grasped the sinister side of a human’s heart . In this world of despair, he had realized how Fairy Tail is a paradise compared to his days in this world .
Noah started missing Fairy Tail and the comrades he grew up with .
Due to Noah’s influence, Fairy Tail came into existence in this world .
Noah is going to protect this Fairy Tail as if it’s the same one on his old world .
Getting tired or criticized is par of the course, the important thing is that he protects Fairy Tail and what it stands for .
“Screw it, I am not going to think about it . ”
Noah rubbed his temples and then he stood up while heading towards the door to a certain room .
Opening the door, Noah entered the room .

It’s a dark room with very low illumination .
There are no windows or lights here .
In this dark room, there’s an apparatus about as tall as an average male adult .
Inside that apparatus is a thumb-sized vial .
It’s filled with an unknown liquid, it’s bubbling as if it’s boiling .
If there’s an expert here on Gastrea, the expert would no doubt recognize it as processed Gastrea virus .
It’s not something taken out of Gastrea monsters . It’s the virus in its purest most potent form .
Normally, humans and other complex lifeforms are infected through the blood .
Gastrea virus can’t infect people through the air . If it did, there would be no more humans in this world .
However, the Gastrea virus is still in the air .
The experts found out that certain strands of the virus can be found in the air . Once it enters the host, it will not induce transformation, this has been proven through countless less than humane experiments .
It might not cause transformation into Gastrea monsters . but a different type of infection occurs that does not result in the death of the host .
If a pregnant woman inhales Gastrea virus, her fetus would inherit some Gastrea traits .

The cursed children are mainly born this way .
This apparatus extracts the Gastrea virus in the air and collects them into a concentrated solution .
The thumb-sized vial contains at least 100 different strains of Gastrea virus .
With such a concentrated solution, if anyone even so much as come into contact with less than 1 milligram of this stuff, said victim would turn into a monster in no time .
Noah knew about its effect .
However, Noah is about to do something that would make anyone watching faint in surprise .
Noah reached out and retrieved a syringe attachment from underneath the vial . He stuck it into his arm without any hesitation .
The liquid inside the vial entered Noah through the syringe .
Vrmmm
His eyes shook and for a moment there, his eyes turned a deep shade of red .
Those eyes are identical to the ones cursed children have .
Throb throb
His heart raced faster and faster .

“Guh-!”
His body released a surprising amount of heat and his vision started blurring . Even his senses are telling him that his limbs are going to expand beyond their mortal limit .
Pew
As his muscles all felt like they are going to spontaneously burn, the syringe in his arm shot out like a bullet, having been rejected by his body .
Crack
He can feel his chest expanding, even his bones are rubbing against each other .
The virus strengthened Noah in a way that would seem impossible to other humans .
The cursed children got their regenerative power and strength from the Gastrea virus in them .
The cursed children also got special powers from the animalistic trait contained in the virus .
With over 100 different strands of Gastrea in him, the strengthening effects are at least a 100 times that of a cursed children . Not to mention, the different animalistic traits he had absorbed through the concentrated solution .
If Noah continues on this path, common sense would dictate that he would turn into one of the Gastrea . However, only Noah knows that he won’t turn into one .
The next instant, his belief is proven to be true .
“—!”
His body finally settled down after a bit of time, his trembling body had finally stopped .
His red eyes also faded back into its original black color .
“Phew…”
Noah released a sigh of relief . He examined his arm and his strengthened body .
“My body surprises even me…”
Noah’s body had special features .
One of it allows him to negate negative effects on his body including poison and toxins .
Under this effect, the virus can’t transform him and got neutralized, it can’t even lay dormant in his body as it is deemed a foreign harmful material .
Instead, Noah’s body kept the strengthening effects and the animalistic traits carried by the different strains .
Within the span of a year, Noah had injected himself with this concentrated Gastrea injection at least once a month . He utilized his body’s unique feature to assimilate more power .
Even as he is busy with Fairy Tail’s operation, his strength had grown tremendously .
He returned the vial to the apparatus and let it continue filtering the air for Gastrea virus . Noah exited the room as he had no further business here, until 1 month later, of course .
Ding dong
As if waiting for this, someone rang Noah’s doorbell .
