The Crisis That Crept In

Naturally, the Cursed Children who undergo training at the IISO organization can later choose whether to return to the Cursed House or become Initiators to fight for humanity. This decision is theirs to make, and the IISO organization can no longer force them as they did before.

As long as the Gastrea Virus inhibitor is available, the Gastrea Virus erosion rate within an Initiator can be controlled.

Previously, Cursed Children couldn't live past the age of twelve, which meant the IISO organization had to constantly replace their Initiators.

With the support of the Cursed House's inhibitor, this situation will naturally change in the future.

Training a Cursed Child to become a capable Initiator is not an easy task. The IISO organization finds these Initiators, who are essentially consumables, to be quite a headache.

This is because every time an Initiator gains more combat experience and becomes stronger, they face the tragic fate of turning into a Gastrea, forcing the IISO organization to start all over again.

The cooperation terms proposed by Wood might seem disadvantageous to the IISO organization on the surface, but considering the long term, they offer more advantages than before.

This is because the IISO organization was constantly training new Cursed Children to replace the eliminated Initiators.

While the Cursed Children they train now might not necessarily become Initiators in the future, the veteran Initiators will not suffer the same massive attrition as before due to the inhibitor.

Veteran Initiators will only grow stronger, which, by all accounts, is a much more cost-effective outcome than training new Initiators.

As for helping the Cursed House transport Cursed Children from all over the world, this is a trivial matter for the IISO organization.

Therefore, this collaboration between Wood and the IISO organization can be considered a win-win situation.
