75 Projects (2/2)

”What? That won't be easy alright. Dr. Zed's research probably contains 10-12 thick books if I remember. Are you aware of that?” Ericka commented on the side. She seems to be aware of the theory.

”Really? You're aware of it?” Gilbert asked in disbelief.

”Yes! I also stumbled on it when I visited the library before. I don't really think it's useful at all in battles but can be used for research purposes. That doctor has a unique way of viewing mana as an energy or source of power.”

It was answered by Ren Morris. He is one of the seven nobles in their room aside from Tracy, Mark, Ross, and the twins. Ren is a short guy with a black hair and wears luxurious accessory unlike Ross and Tracy who likes to dress simple. His identity as a son of a prestigious hospital owner in the city made him popular in the academy. He refused to study the Mage Doctor's path to join their family ranks but he instead selected to study in Leonhearts Academy that only focuses in combat magicians and mana technicians.

”I'm only familiar on his name as he created that useful Mana Artifact, Zed's Poison Detoxifier, that still being used until to this date. Right?” Gilbert asked to clear his doubt.

”Haha! There's more to him. Be prepared once you begun to read his theory. My project is just to give reaction or insights about the situation in Northern Continent.” Ericka replied to Gilbert. There's only very limited information about the situation in the northern continent. Some of the information states that only powerful magicians can live there due to chaotic mana that is existing there.

”Oh! You have an interesting one.” Kazimir said to Ericka. He was also quite curious about the northern continent.

”My project is to provide insights about the Lost Technology.” Kazimir took a deep breath before continuing.

”Aeolia shouldn't have died before discovering this.” He joked a bit. Ross wasn't present here anyway.  Apparently, before Aeolia's death or disappearance, he was focusing in a research of a specific Lost Technology.

Everyone discussed their chosen project except Wallace who silently ate his lunch and kept listening with the others. Their other two classmates in the table also joined the conversation and shared their chosen topic for the small project.

During this time, because of their discussion, Wallace remembered that he had also discovered that there is side effects in the existence of mana that prevents nuclear energy. The side effect is it's ability to disrupt radio waves as well, which heavily restricts the range of radar and conventional communications. That could be why standard machines without mana enhancement has very limited usage.

Wallace recollected that prior to his spaceship's descent, he waited in this planet's orbit to receive a form of communication as no one is responding in his own attempts. This could be the reason why no one was answering him, the mana may be the barrier that stops them in any outerspace contact or exploration.

He shook his head and continued listening to his classmates. He may discover more once he get the assistance of his A.I.'s calculation ability, so he kept it at the back of his mind. After today, everyone will go to their provinces to have their vacation and will only meet the next year that's why they're spending more time in their chat.

Wallace is now on his way home and he's looking forward for his nearing union with his spaceship. He couldn't help but feel a little excited and worried.
