Adrian walked into homeroom with Karl at his side, his body feeling good to him despite the long night in the [System Factory].
The previous night had yielded progress, though not without its frustrations.
He had nailed the Mana Gun's modification, integrating a training mode that fired soft, luminescent mana patches, like he had wished.
He had also managed a few hours of sleep, waking refreshed, and a hearty breakfast at the cafeteria had him feeling at his peak.
The Magic Heater, however, was a different story. Adrian had underestimated the task, expecting a quick tweak to the existing design.
His vision was ambitious. He wanted to create a cauldron-like heater with intensity adjustable to 1-degree Celsius precision, allowing him to handle any kind of Alchemy challenge he would face.
But achieving that, and changing the set up to a cauldron required a mana regulator so finely tuned it demanded a complete redesign.
