The steward tells the chief that the bloodline apparatus is the "top level bloodline apparatus" and that martial artists use it all the time. The deacon tells the steward that the chief is experimenting with using the apparatus, but that no one can touch it. The steward is happy to be the one who controls the bloodline room. He says that he's so excited that the branch has been able to obtain this treasure. He wants to test it to see if it can detect just a tiny bit of the concentration of blood in a person's body. He also wants to touch it, but the deacon says that it's not allowed to be touched. But the steward says he'll feel the power soon. He goes to check on the bloodline master fan, who's performing the awakening rite today. The bloodline master says that the apparatus stopped working when the mage was helping people awaken. He asks the steward to go and check on him. He's worried that something bad might happen to the reputation of the shrine.
