Chapter 174 - Ripped Apart (1/2)

Lisa nodded head in disappointment and said, ”I don't know.”

She also added that Aria had never mentioned having a younger cousin or relative as young as him. Listening to her statement, Nex was thrown into deep contemplation.

'If this boy is not her relative nor her cousin, then who is this kid?'

Back to the trial Sen was all set to enter the tropical forests. He had set some magic circles on his swords that would auto-activate themselves when the light around goes beyond a certain level.

”All preparation done~~!!” exclaimed Aryan and entered the eastern part of the forest.

The more he went inside, the more it got darker. Huge trees and their leaves were slowly blocking the path of the sunlight. After entering to a certain distance, a place came where everything went dark and a very little was visible with naked eyes.

The magic circles on Aryan's sword detected the low presence of light and began to levitate in the air.

Seeing the levitating sword emitting light and following the kiddo everywhere, Nex stood up abruptly and asked one of his assistants to find out the exact location of the testing ground.

Miss Lisa frowned on his order and asked what he wanted to do by knowing the location of the testing ground. ”Do you want to go there and check out those circles in person?” Miss Lisa asked out in suspicion.

As much as he knows this, Nex was one of the biggest nerd guys of that era after a certain someone named Aditya. And to get his hands on such things, stopping the test in the middle was not a big thingy for him.

Nex understood her concern and answered it while laughing.

”Hahahaha!! No, no. Don't get me wrong. I am not gonna stop the test. The test will continue as it should have been.”

”Then why do you want to know his location?”

”Cause I want to send my new invention there!!”

”New Invention?!”

”Yes, new invention,” Nex added and waved his hand to take out his new invention.

Lisa was dumbfounded by its appearance. No matter how she looked at it, it was nothing more than a big blue crystal ball.

After some moment of hesitation, she opened her mouth that many of her wanted to ask.

”Senior Nex, isn't that just a big crystal ball? What are you planning to do with that?”

After blurting out her question, Lisa was thinking if she had made him angry or not? But after hearing out his reply she took a breath of sigh and continued to watch further.

”Hahahaha,” Nex laughed and replied, ”Miss Lisa, it used to be a crystal ball. But not anymore!! We have applied magic circles of different varieties on it and made it our third hidden eye.”

”Third hidden eye~~!!” Lisa exclaimed.

”Yes, let me show you how,” Nex added and asked one of his lab assistants to bring the controller and monitor. Just within a minute, two of his lab assistants brought a small crystal ball and a big mirror. Similar to the one that Lisa was using to monitor Aryan's action.

Nex took the small ball and kept it in his hand. Suddenly, both the ball began to glow and the big ball levitated in the air.

Lisa took a step back as she was afraid of the ball. But after Nex told him it was harmless, she went near and touched the ball.

She could clearly feel the vast amount of mental energy and the sage energy being transferred into it. After pondering over something, she turned out and looked towards Nex in confusion.

As much as she knew, Nex was the head of the research department. Even though he had a vast knowledge of magic circles and weapons he himself had a very low reserve of energy to use them. And for the same reason, he had been allotted some retired knights who could no longer fight, or don't want to fight.

Nex felt awkward upon her gazing and asked her the reason for doing so.

Lisa shook her head and asked, ”Senior Nex, I have a doubt, can I ask?”

”Sure, go on.”

”I can clearly feel a huge amount of mental energy and sage energy getting transferred into this big crystal ball.”

”Yes, it is getting transferred…. So what about it?”

”Ahh…” Lisa hesitated for a second whether she should ask or not. But as the saying goes, curiosity kills the cat, she couldn't hold it any longer and fired it out in one breath.

”Ah, I know you have a very high reserve of mental energy to satisfy the condition, but I don't think you have that much big reserve of sage energy….” She stopped at that to observe his expression.

Nex laughed at her comment and cleared out her misunderstanding.

”Miss Lisa, you are getting the wrong idea. I am just using a small part of my mental energy to control that crystal ball. And the energy transfer you are feeling is from a replaceable crystal battery that we have inserted in it.”
