On the other side of the academy, Megan and Alice Bloodstone were arguing in front of a circular table. That vast board of beautiful black wood held a huge amount of papers.
"Do you think this could work?" Alice said, as she stretched her arms out, stretching herself.
"It has no reason to be a problem, you know that" Megan replied, as she flipped through a pile of hand made scribbles.
"We're going to need to fully map Luke's mana, no one has ever done that at the academy" Alice pointed out, sighing.
Before Megan was able to answer her sister, a blond boy entered the room, it was Adrian abruptly interrupting the conversation.
"You've already mapped out half of one of the assistant professors' energy. It shouldn't be that complicated to complete the rest of a map"
"You know it wasn't exactly mapping, Zhahid had already commented on that in the hospital" Alice said as she scratched her neck.
*Cof Cof. Megan cleared her throat to enter the conversation and finally be able to speak.
"Even though I said it's possible, that doesn't mean it would be easy. Adrian knows how vast Luke's mana is, I'm a little worried about how this is going to go next."
"I forgot that point..." Said Adrian, while scratching the back of his neck, with a worried smile.
The idea that Zhahid proposed in the hospital was a plan that even in theory did not appear to be simple. To solve the problem of Luke's unstable mana, it would be necessary to create a piece of equipment capable of completely modifying the half-wolf's mana flow.
To begin this project, Alice and Megan were selected to create a piece of equipment to completely analyze the young man's mana flow.
Early in the morning, Megan went around the library selecting books that would be interesting to use for research. In addition to several books, Megan selected some manuscripts of research related to the use of mana.
As much as research for mana analysis already existed, mapping every inch of the flow was a novel and extremely challenging proposition. It was as if it was necessary to understand every inch of a swimming pool, in order to understand where the water goes, which path it follows. With the ultimate goal of making the water follow the desired course.
The only difference is that the pool did not have calm waters, but constant gigantic waves.
This was the analogy Megan used to explain to the group what she could visualize from Luke's mana. The girl known as the living library had a very great magical sensitivity, enough to be able to understand Luke's own mana.
However, all this insight was not enough to find out where this power came from. Nobody in that group would even imagine that all that magical energy had been collected from hundreds of thousands of souls.
This was a topic that was making Luke a little worried, after all, how could he explain to everyone in that room that he was a gene user. Even with the half-wolf's growing confidence for his new allies, it was still challenging to imagine that this group of Melki residents could accept his real powers.
Looking out to sea a few miles from the group, Luke thought about how to deal with his skills.
"Do you believe that I would be able to beat this professor without my gene skills?" Luke asked, while looking at the distant waves on the horizon.
[I imagine so, but I can't be absolutely sure]
"I really am weaker..."
Erwin then extended his hand to Luke. He hesitated a little to shake it.
The man was a little taller than Luke. He had long blue hair and a strong physique, with muscles not as defined as Shiro's, but as strong and agile as the half-wolf's. His clothes showed that he was a new man.
His clothes showed that he was a student at the academy, his pants were part of his uniform. His shirt was made of a slightly thinner fabric, it was sleeveless. In the center of that white shirt was a dark blue pendant. A golden heart that passed through the warrior's neck.
Erwin's spear was made of steel, with a light blue color that resembled the hair of its bearer. It had a single blade at the tip that formed a kind of triangle, and at the side there were two extra tips, which gave the spear a kind of trident appearance.
"It's unusual to see anyone walking around this part of the beach. Most of them end up avoiding me hahaha" Erwin said as he scratched the back of his own head.
'That's not the kind of thing to talk about on a first impression'
[Do you think we should run away?]
'I'm not sensing any assasin intent, either he's a thief with the same ability as me, or he's just a weird guy'
"What do you mean?" Luke questioned.
"Ah! So you haven't heard any stories about me?" Erwin said.
Placing his hand on his chin, while looking down at the sand the warrior continued to think aloud.
"Well, that makes sense. You're new to the academy."
Sighing, Erwin gave a smile and looked at Luke.
"I can't control my strength completely, so students avoid that part of the beach so they don't get hurt hahahaha"
This line surprised Luke, who was interested to know Erwin's power.
"Could you give me a demonstration?"
"Well, it's not really a problem. Just take care of yourself hahahaha"
"Sure" Luke spoke, as he took a few steps back.
"I had already finished my warm up anyway" Erwin said, as he stuck his spear in front of him, into the sand on the beach.
Erwin closed his eyes, and let out a long sigh. When he opened his eyes, suddenly his alégre demeanor changed to a serious face of determination. His eyes were now closed, staring at the spear in front of him.
Again, Erwin pulled all the air in front of him into his lungs. Then he grabbed the spear. His body began to glow with a faint blue light. Facing the sea with determination, the young man lifted the spear and began to rotate it with one hand.
With each movement of the young man, the sea moved. As if the boy's dance directly influenced the waves in front of him. With each swing he made with the spear, the waters moved with increasing intensity. Until with one last complete turn all the waves came together to form a gigantic wall of water in front of Erwin.
