//Sector 7, Natural Garden. MC POV\\

That little tiger gave the feeling of an Ancient Creature. Something that lives long enough to evolve to Sentient Specie.

When it looks at me, it views me as a new creature that she needs to observe. As if it saw many things and I'm just a new thing among others that it's curious about.

~Phew~

"Ahhhhhh!" 

I looked up and I saw the man was seething in pain. He clutches his chest as if something is pounding from it, threatening to come out.

My eye was triggered and I was drowned in a sea of liquid Green. I felt suffocated as my sight was covered with only green everywhere.

But still, my attention was on the tiger, it's wide awake observing itself, when it felt my gaze it looked up.

Nothing changes from it but the sound of a heartbeat. A small tiny heart has formed and it's beating a bit stronger than before.

With each beat, it releases a Greenish White wave of energy from the tiny tiger's body. But the wave returned to the tiger as if obstructed.

That will not last long, as each wave gets stronger.

"Relax your muscles, and relish it. If not, you will only injure yourself more." I shouted.

As if he was waiting for that, he relaxed but not without screaming more with all his strength. 

The whole hall reverberated.

The wave of Greenish White Energy easily passes through his body and assimilates with his body. 

First, it was where the little tiger resided, the lungs, ribs, spinal cord and even his heart released thick green energy that entered them. And then they absorbed the Greenish White.

The more the little tiger heart beat, the more the Green Energy from within the body got sucked away and also the body was graced with Greenish White Energy.

In no time he stopped groaning in pain and relaxed. His wound that may have been the result of excessive Green Energy began to heal due to the Greenish White Energy.

His strength returned to his body, and he sat down on the floor with a heavy breath.

I was still drowning in Green liquid when the little tiger finished absorbing the body Green Energy then all the liquid Green Energy outside the body poured in as if flowing in a whirlpool.

From within the pool of Green, I saw shapes of different sizes, each one resembling a tiger in form but in ferocity it was Archaic. 

My eyes turned blind, and my thought process stopped, not out of fear but I used all my energy in that one last gaze.

I lazily opened my eyes and I found Miss Susan beside me. I looked up at her and she was a bit confused too.

When I look around I was back in the garden. 

"What happens?" I asked.

"You fainted." She answered.

"Hmm, what about that man!"

"His name is Leroy Vincent. He undergoes a certain transformation that is unexplainable but later he returns to normal."

"Transformation? To tiger?"

"No, his body grows abnormally to different proportions. I'm not good at description but one of his hand become large as his body, his neck elongated with bulges.

His back, in particular, became enormous, resembling an elephant's back. It was a gruesome sight.

But strangely he is not in pain, according to the scan it was muscles and bones that disfigure strangely.

When I sensed his feelings he was happy that the pain was gone, and he looked at you wanting more guidance but you were already unconscious.

It was then, I felt like he was in a deep sad position as if a child that his mother abandoned in a street full of strangers with no idea what to do next.

And….

It took an hour before his body started to morph back to normal. His body became very lean and skinny with a well-defined shape. Though thinner than before."

"Hmm, you mean his muscle reduce in size but increase in density. That means his explosive strength might have increased." I said.

"Yes, that how it is. But still, he seemed fine until he was taken to the infirmary where they said his previous symptoms of failing organs are no more but his heart is very weak.

Now he was given intense care to maintain his heartbeat. They were even considering remodelling the heart and giving it mechanical properties."

"How was his mental stability?"

"He seems fine but he claims to see images and hear things, but it's his heightened sense that he didn't get used to."

"How long was I out?"

"Two days. Your body was stressed."

"Hmm, I want to ramble with anger but I'm tired of that. They should have thrown him into a natural forest where he can feel at home."

She was taken aback by what I said.

"What will that help? His heart is shutting down, taking him off all the ICU devices will cause his entire body to collapse."

"It is not Leroy we should care about, it is what is inside him. A tiny tiger that is growing up. Trust me, it contains an archaic instinct. So it needs to be in a natural environment where it will feel at home."

"You are not the only one that is working on him. There is another person that can roll probability as his ability.

He goes through different scenarios and comes up with the only viable solution which is to have his heart modified.

Even though they did not commence with that, it was the only viable option they have now. 

There is someone that has Death Sight. He can see if someone is going to die soon or not. Though, the ability is not perfect. But she too agreed that he is at death's door."

While she was speaking my thought was on something else, myself!

Back home I never try to train my eye explicitly with intention. Even at some point during physical training, I was praised for having better eyesight than everyone, but I never focus on it.

My focus was always the Fluid that I used to travel with. 

But here… everything about me revolves around the eyes. They become the bedrock, now other people view my Alter-ego as a Sage.

I need to learn more about them and slowly make effective use of them.

Even though I think about it, my mind processes so many things at a time which prevents me from focusing on a single goal.

~Phew~

I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. My whole attention was on my heartbeat.
