[Lord Windos]

The Slowking points to the Unown that say "MORE than a man."
And he looks very confused, maybe a little disappointed, as to why you'd want that. Still, he nods - the answer to your question, whether the change can be avoided, is yes.

"I know what the message means, Slowking. My choice of words were intentional. Thank you for answering my question."

The researcher responds in slow, calm and stilled tone of voice, heavily implying that the idea of anything than 'purely human' was degradation at its finest to him.

When they displayed how perplexed it was with his desires to remain as he was, Ventus stared deeply in their eyes with a withdrawn, haunted look, and just quietly said this: "I've seen first hand what happens when someone becomes 'more than human' , and I do not want to share their fate. The only changes I go through is according to my belief and desires, and nothing more. Think of me a fool for my choice, scholar of Antheneum, but I rather be that than anything that I am not."

He turns away from the tail-less Slowking and nodded to the rest of the group, saying to them: "Then it is settled. We journey towards Antheneum together, now as we have before." He then wentsilent for the rest of the discussion unless prompted, as the further reinforcement of the group's goal being a place drenched in otherworldly and elderitch power..... it disquieted him greatly enough he rather keep his peace then speak and invite more discussion about it. The idea of finding and entering that place of hidden knowledge was now a deeply forboding proposition for the paranoid sociologist more than ever, but he knew it must be done to in order to secure it against the even worse incursion of those foolish and abominable archmages.

'Sometimes, one must be willing to put aside their fears and reservations for the greater good....' he thought to himself, mulling over his thoughts and managing his discomfort the best he could as he watched on.

'.....Unless doing so cost them everything they worked so hard to achieve or maintain, that is. Oh Reshirim, I pray that will not be the case for all of us by the time our quest is finished and beyond.....'
