Capítulo 118: Skill training
That night after encountering Masaomi, and Alex was still meditating to combat the poison. He was sitting cross legged, while also sweating as if it wad the middle of summer, but was clammy and cold. They had moved him to the dorms, but their first choice was to take him to heavens specialists to help him fight the poison, but Vali was also present since Kuroka called him. When they suggested it Albion appeared, and said that Ddraig told him not to let them take him, because Alex was trying to do something with the the poison. This left them all confused, but they could only sit there and wait as he tried fighting the poison by himself.

'I know I compared it to Samael before, but it's still quite horrifying to look at.' Alex thought as he looked at the huge blob of poison in front of him. What he was seeing was not really the physical image, as little more than a drop or two of poison entered him. Instead it was more of a mental image of the potency of the poison, as it constantly tried to fight his control and destroy his body.
'Are you both sure this would work?' He asked Ddraig and Lauren for the hundredth time. What he was about to attempt was extremely dangerous with even mild poisons, let alone one of the most potent poisons in this world.
<one of my previous possessors met someone who tried something similar, he said it actually saved his life from assassins more than once.>
'Indeed, plus you have a higher chance of succeeding due to your job system. As long as you control the amount of poison properly, and prevent it from contaminating your soul, it should work.' Alex sighed mentally hearing their words, and looked at the blob poison once more. His goal was to try and gain a poison resistance ability using Yamata's poison, allowing his body to slowly adapt to very small amounts of it at a time.
The process itself was very dangerous, and would've been impossible to attempt if he had taken in more poison than he actually had. After he spent his time collecting all the poison in his body in a single place, he was going to release it into his body in very tiny amounts, and allow his body to slowly adapt to it without letting it overly contaminate him, or his soul. The reason they were trying it with Yamata's poison instead of a milder one, was because if he managed to adapt to this one, then he would be able to resist most poisons after this.
He then separated a part of the large blob no bigger than his mental hand, and spread it throughout his body. Instantly he felt an intense pain, as it spread through him. Alex was growing less confident by the second, as felt the damage just a small amount, of the small amount of poison tried to do to his body. It caused a brief lapse in his concentration, and he nearly lost control of all of it.
'That was close!' He said to himself.
'Concentrate!' Lauren reprimanded him for losing concentration, and Alex wanted to shout at the injustice, but couldn't while trying to fight the poison. After what felt like hours, the pain started to subside, and Alex pulled out a little more poison to spread. He then repeated this process another ten times, pulling the same amount of the poison each time. Finally,
[Notice! Poison immunity skill acquired!]
The sudden notification caught him by surprise, and he nearly slipped in his control once more. This earned him another reprimand from Lauren, but Alex didn't pay attention. Since he couldn't actually check the new skill personally, he asked Lauren,
'Poison immunity, does that mean that I'm now immune to all poisons? That was easy!' Lauren sighed, and said,
'No it doesn't mean you're immune to any poison except maybe the weakest ones, think of it as more of a poison resistance skill. You'll only be truly immune to poisons when it gets to level ten, though what's here isn't enough to get that high, this poison is potent enough that you should get it to a high level if you manage to get through all of it.' Alex grimaced slightly at her words, and was immediately reminded of when he was a kid being told to eat his vegetables.
He then turned to the blob again, not even looking smaller than when he started, and sighed once again. He then pulled out a slightly bigger amount of the poison, and started over.

It was finally Christmas Eve day, but there was no festive mood in the dorms as all the girls waited still for Alex to wake up. Spending several days in a meditative state, they had watched as his condition slowly improved, as he had stopped sweating and had returned to normal temperature. They were just waiting for him to wake up now, and were soon joined by Irina's dad Touji.
"Papa, what are you doing here?" Touji sighed at his daughters question, and replied,
"I came because of what happened, and to give you something for the holidays." Irina didn't seem to know how to react to his words, and asked,
"That man said that he wanted to kill me, to get to you. What happened papa?" Touji groaned as he tried to come up with an answer, then said,
"I'll be here a few days, let's wait until after Christmas to talk about it so we don't spoil the holidays anymore. Plus we should wait for Alex to recover before talking about it, shouldn't we?" Rias nodded at him, and said,
"Plus I just received word the Bael house is sending someone as well in three days as well." Touji nodded and said,
"Then we'll talk about it then, as long as he doesn't try to attack once more." Everyone agreed somewhat somberly, then Irina piped up,
"Well it looks like Alex is getting better, and we don't him to wake up to a gloomy house. Let's cheer up and start getting into the holiday spirit!" At Irina's words everyone nodded and started trying to get pepped up. Not long after, Alex opened his eyes.
