(Back to present)
[You need to be very careful Alex, you can't go looking at the mana particles, their movements, and whatnot.
They are not you, so even a little damage to their mana flow can be disastrous for them.]
Sophia reminded Alex for the second time, and Alex just like before nodded his head seriously.
He knew that he couldn't be careless or reckless right now as the ones who would be affected by it would be Alice and Ann.
Doing something that could harm Alice and Ann was the last thing Alex wanted, so he looked at Alice and Ann, seriously before he placed his hand on their back.
"Are you guys ready?"
He asked, his voice oozing seriousness.
Unlike his ever-relaxed demeanor, right now he was fully focused on just one thing, and that was looking into Alice and Ann's body.
'Their mana flow is messed up just like I had.'
He looked inside them with his all-seeing eyes as he commented.
"Are you guys all right?"
But then he hurriedly asked in worry as he felt Alice and Ann's body tremble the moment he looked into them.
It was his first time doing this thing since he never got anyone to experiment it on, so he didn't know what problem could arise.
"...Yes." X2
Alice and Ann exchanged a look before they nodded, indicating that they were fine.
'Phew...'
Alex breathed a sigh of relief before he looked back into them.
'That was.... weird...' X2
Both Alice and Ann had the same thought.
They had never felt so naked in front of Alex as they felt the moment he used his all-seeing eyes on them.
But being like that in front of Alex, they felt like all of their secrets were open for him to see, they felt vulnerable, but it didn't make them feel bad or anything, rather, they felt weirdly good.
That was the reason for the tremble in their bodies, but they soon calmed down. Just like Alex, they knew that what was happening and what they were doing was very important—maybe the most important thing that happened in their lives till now.
They were going to be introduced to a new world of power, a power so strong that the EX-ranked raiders they thought were the peak wouldn't even be able to put a scratch on them.
'This is going to be long....'
Alex knew that it would be long, especially since he couldn't just help them make their mana veins, they needed to do it themselves.
All he could do was keep supplying mana to them or terminate the supply and stop the process.
The second option was in case they did something wrong or they were taking the wrong steps.
Alice and Ann continued making mana veins just like Alex had told them to, while Alex kept an eye on both of them (Mostly Alice).
Ann was someone patient enough to continue doing this thing for days, all of them knew that, but they also knew that Alice would never be able to do such a boring thing.
Alice was the person who didn't sign more than 10 files one after another as she found it boring to do the same thing again and again.
When Alex told them about the process, Alice almost broke into tears.
"I will never be able to get to Epic rank!!!"
She didn't even say that she would try her best, she directly backed away.
Even if she wanted to do it with all of her mind, her body just wouldn't do it.
There was only one thing that she could do no matter how many times you asked for without getting bored, and it was 'training' with Alex.
But that was all, nothing else.
She was the reason why Alex searched for different ways to help them.
He searched a lot until he came across that skill called 'Mana transfer', and just like that, he found a way to help Alice and Ann fasten the process a lot.
[It's going to take much longer than it did to you.]
Sophia reminded him, and he nodded his head.
'I know, but what can I do?
Nothing other than waiting and keeping an eye on them.'
Like how a baby needs to learn how to walk on its own, they need to do this on their own as well.
All he would do was support them like a crib that helps babies walk, but that was all.
So, Alex just had to keep observing Alice, because he knew that the process was going to be too long for Alice.
