Forced Evolution

A few hours later, Blake was standing in the head doctor's office in the quarantine zone. "How is it? Did extracting most of the mana help?"

"It did. Their fevers went down, and they are stable. But they are now weak. The problem is the bacteria in the brain and heart. Some people still couldn't handle it. I believe those hit hardest are allergic to the kind of bacteria in them. Because mana is now infused into every part of our body, the reaction was so big that it caused many different symptoms. Sometimes multiple, which are the severe cases. But with the mana extraction, while it is a painful process, if they are awake while asleep, they feel nothing, which helps. It gives us more time to study the bacteria. The sample you gave us is really coming in handy for testing."  The doctor replied.
