137 Last Days of School (2/2)

\”Don't forget about the local events, some charity and sports events showcasing our abilities. We had been very active recently after all.\” Ericka proudly said as she was involved in some public activities since she was a member of cultural club in the academy.

Everyone happily talked about many things as the sun was slowly setting. As the night approached, they separated and went back home.

\”Welcome back, Captain\” A gentle but mechanical voice was heard after Wallace stepped within the house.

It was coming from the speaker installed somewhere within the house.

\”Yes. I'm back. How was the progress?\” Wallace changed his clothes and seated on the sofa.

\”As per your command, we've successfully made the fifth and last humanoid machine.\” Answered by Avalon.

During this time, Wallace created a humanoid automaton where his A.I. Avalon could occupy or control. It was a mixed of science and mana technology.

He would never accomplish this task perfectly without him learning the secrets of Arcane Link.

Arcane Link wasn't as simple as making a connection to Mana. This mysterious ability that only Adept or Artificer could learn changes the Mana Pool within a Mana Practitioner's body.

The Mana Pool no longer exist as the limited container of Mana after having a breakthrough.

That's right, the Mana Practitioners will possess a Mana Body instead in exchange of the limited Mana Pool. The practitioner's Mana Framework would be different. Their physique would have some changes and Mana will flow naturally within the body. Mana manipulation ability would excessively increase, normal magic spells would multiply by several times, and their senses can be connected to Mana. And although it was miniscule, the magicians who had broken through would start to possess an ability to create Mana on their own.

It was only a theory and wasn't fully studied yet but Wallace felt that it was something that can truly be done after remembering one of the rewards that he could have learned aside from the Void Phase.

Wallace went to his workshop where a fully modified Mech Frame was standing menacingly. The pressuring aura was being contained with the help of layered Mana defense within the workshop. This aura was due to the power source that he had created recently. But it was still not too stable.

This Mech Frame was his creation together with the help of his A.I. Avalon.

After he had two humanoid automatons with a high-level artificial intelligence, he immediately rearranged the Mech Frame with a different power source and several changes in it's part to accommodate Mana.

Right now, after completing the fifth automaton, Wallace and his A.I. will have more hands to make specific magic or technology he needed.

It was a technology to stop Mana from interfering nuclear fission. Wallace had been trying to find a way for a better power source. Although his A.I. was capable of helping him in creating nuclear energy, he had to deal with the main problem first.

\”Hmm... Let me see the blueprint of the Zymeth.\” Wallace said after thinking for a while.

The table at the side of his workshop showed a hologram of the Zymeth. It was his father's starship. He admired it for a bit before switching to other spaceships.

All sample blueprints they had was based on Aether as a source of energy which requires GH Drive to run. Wallace doesn't have anyway to find Aether so he plans to use Nuclear Energy if possible. At the moment, he couldn't trust Mana if it will not cause any problem in the outer space.

\”Sigh~ We may have no other choice but to do that...\” Wallace muttered before receiving a call from his mom. As the academic year was about to end in the next few days, he plans to return to the Red Star Town.

'She will probably ask when will I be home.' Wallace thought but he heard something different.

\”Your older sister heard that you're still there in Tanza, she'll fetch you before going home together.\”
