Chapter 212 Curiosity
If it was anyone else that wanted to do this, especially with Atticus's current rank, such actions would be impossible to take.
It was completely unlike the ethereal cloak art. Back then, Atticus simply had to mimic the natural mana signature in the environment, adjusting it with every change in mana density.
But now, Atticus would have to mimic the exact mana signature of another individual. Even if it was for a slight second, it was still an incredibly difficult task.
Copying another individual's mana signature was more challenging than mimicking the natural mana signature in the environment due to the unique and personalized nature of individual mana.
Natural mana in the environment was more homogeneous and predictable, making it easy to mimic.
On the other hand, each individual possessed a distinct and intricate mana signature that was a reflection of their unique magical essence.
This signature was influenced by factors such as one's personal experiences, emotions, and innate magical abilities.
Replicating this specific and personalized mana signature requires a higher level of precision and finesse, a level of mana control that some one of Atticus's rank couldn't even dream of achieving.
After years of practice, Atticus, with his exceptional high intelligence, could easily adapt to changes in the natural mana environment by adjusting his mimicry to match the fluctuating mana density.
However, copying another person's mana signature involves capturing the nuances of their magical essence, making it a more intricate task.
Even a slight deviation in the replicated signature could be easily detected by the magical barrier.
Atticus focused on his palm in contact the mana barrier, closing his eyes he entered a state of deep focus. n(-Ove1BIn

Back inside the academy's control room, every operator present currently had their mouths open in shock as they beheld the spectacle occurring in front of them.
After the massacre the top three in the rankings showed three weeks ago, they had all expected them to struggle a bit with organizing their division, and truly, Zoey and Kael did, but what about Atticus?
He made everything seem as though it was a game. He practically organized his whole group in one day! More than one thousand youths, it was simply shocking.
Established his dominance from the start, provided the facilities and equipment that his division members would need to focus on getting stronger, planning multiple steps ahead for the future that he should know nothing about.
He was only doing exactly what was necessary as though he had foresight and knew everything that would happen in the future.
It was shocking, very shocking seeing a 15 year old do all of these things.
The academy had made sure to limit the information each division had by only giving them very subtle clues.
It was one part to prepare them for the future; during wars, you would mostly have to work with little to no information. It was better for them to get used to these things earlier.
The other part was simply to test their intelligence.
And seeing the fact that Atticus, on the very first day, had been focused on increasing the strength of his division members, it was clear that he had caught on to all these subtle hints and had acted accordingly.
'What a frightening mind,' Isabella thought with a smile as she observed Atticus on the screen.
"What is he doing now?" one of the operators asked, seeing Atticus placing his palm on the mana barrier and closing his eyes.
Isabella too tilted her head slightly to the side, gazing at Atticus's actions with slight confusion. 'What is he trying to do?' She thought to herself.
....
Meanwhile, Atticus, completely oblivious to the fact that he was being watched by Isabella and the other operators, was diligently trying to focus.
Thanks to his remarkable intelligence, he possessed an extraordinary analytical capacity that allowed him to dissect and comprehend the intricate details of the mana signature contained in the mana barrier.
There was just one problem; it required a considerable amount of time.
