The pale woman with red eyes in front of Gojo was strange, Warfarin, was it? It looked like she possessed no animal features, but his Six Eyes was telling him she was still far from being considered a full human. Really, the amount of white haired people in this company is staggering...

Beside that, her fangs, it could retract and extend, exactly like that of a vampire's he had seen in movies. Movies that he would enjoy with Suguru and Shoko in their free time, so he would probably call her that for now until her race was fully revealed.

Also because she was ancient, not as much as that cat girl from before, but still an impressive length to live.

'Her ability seems to be related to blood, just like Choso's... However, in her regard it's much more focused on support and utility it seems? But it's still capable of combat, seeing how it can damage others, a doctrine she seems to have abandoned...' His eyes morphed from wondrous pondering to cold and calculative.

The vampire lady didn't seem to have noticed, as she was busy flailing her arms in the air and practically begging the medical operators who had witnessed Gojo's test results to forget about it.

'It must be a pretty big deal if she's out panicking like this,' Gojo Satoru could only guess why, seemingly having absolutely zero originium in his blood despite being in his late 20's would raise many alarm flags. Especially because there was always a tiny amount of originium in the air no matter where you went.

Catastrophes ravaging the land consistently since the start of time attributed to this, and also the fact that the humanity in this world only relied on originium as their power sources... 'Do they not have any other alternatives?' Gojo couldn't help but be bothered with their choices.

"Hey, hey- what are you doing?! Stop taking pictures of them!" The small girl looked extremely adorable walking up to everybody and attempting to control the chaos that had ensued. "We-we can't let Dr. Kal'tsit find out either, or any of this information to leak!"

Schwarz and Ceylon shared a look at each other, the latter looking rather hesitant in regards to Warfarin's words. Elio was just standing there, not knowing what to do as he stared at Gojo.

'He must have been hired, I wonder what group he got assigned to,' Regarding with a wave, the white haired man's attention shifted back to Warfarin. He felt a little pity for her, as her actions right now would be all for naught as a certain Lynx was already standing behind her.

"Can't let who find out?" A monotone voice filled the room as all actions paused. Warfarin froze in place, sweat traveling down her face as she looked like she had been possessed by a ghost.

"A-ah..." A meek sound left Warfarin's lips, as Gojo simply rested his chin on his hand.

'Oh yeah, she's cooked.'

Gojo, Warfarin, Schwarz, and Ceylon were sitting in Kal'tsit's office, the cat lady standing over all of them with a slightly peeved expression gracing her features.

"...So, the room order of H6 and H7 was mixed up in a way that confused both Elio and Gojo Satoru, resulting in them going to their wrongly designated objectives..." Kal'tsit stared at the latter's blue eyes, expecting him to have figured out he was in the wrong room much earlier.

The man in question simply shrugged, not a care in the world.

Kal'tsit pinched the bridge of her nose as she sighed, "...And the medical operators in charge of the examinations couldn't be bothered to confirm at the very beginning of their entrance to check if they had received the right patient..."
