I release a portion of mana into a liquid silver and start to harden "Is this how it's supposed to work?" He nods, but I can't tell what was going on.
I wait for a while releasing the mana in the liquid silver. "Do I need to stay still?" He is just watching me, releasing the mana in liquid silver but why is this liquid silver absorbing my mana as soon as I release the mana?
"Yeah, I'm just checking something," he said, while his gaze in the liquid silver.
The liquid silver started to light up but not too bright nor too dark "Looks like you have poor quality of mana." When he said it's literally made me upset.
"Don't worry about that, it's normal they've been using this liquid as a mana tester just like you saw in the Association Awakening Center which is the orb. I'm sure you have already been tested there in that place."
"I did." So that is why there are a lot of scouts of the guild in the exit at that time, but I didn't receive any.
"The reason they take the test, is to look at the players who have high potential to get strong they choose specific players to help their growth also."
"Also, one more thing this is not liquid silver I'm sure many of you have been wrong start calling it liquid silver." Huh? How did he know I never said liquid silver out loud?
"I can tell in your face hahaha." Why is he laughing like that he never told me the name of this mana tester.
"Ah! I forgot something can you wait here for a bit, I need to get the book upstairs".
"Sure" he takes upstairs leaving me in the room while, I patiently wait for him to get back.
After a few minutes
I got tired of waiting for him, so I tried mimicking what he did before in the training center, what did he say back then? Ah, I remember.
"Khar-thos… amun-ra… "
I tried mimicking those words, but I couldn't pronounce those words it seemed like an ancient language, but... sigh, nevermind its not like I can do it. Those footsteps, it seems his already here.
"I apologize it takes me a long time to find the book, I forgot where I put it. Anyway, what you've been practicing you've been talking those gibberish words." He's laughing again, and I feel like he's been teasing for a whole time.
Gibberish...
"Anyway here is the book I found in the library a long time ago, the leather of that book is insanely durable it cannot be torn, burned and melt by an acid."
I opened the book just like he said and I couldn't understand what it was saying, just how the hell did he read this? "I think you're the only one who can understand this book."
"Ha? What do you mean, let me read it." I give him the book, and it seems he's really the one who can read it and understand the Ancient language. "I can understand this though just like a word that we've been using." Just like I expected it was a bound item.
"I thought it would help us but I expect that was an artifact the moment you opened the book you already bound with it."
"Really?" Look how dumbfounded he is, I could tell he never cared about this book.
"What a shame I thought it would help us" he looks disappointed "just forget about it, it's not like I'm gonna benefit with it."
"Why don't you come with me instead of Lucas to the laboratory?" I followed him into deeper ground, I saw all the different kinds of magic artifacts he collected and created.
"You've been creating this?" I asked.
"Yeah! I have been creating this for the past few years and I have also been collecting those magical artifacts that are suitable for mages." I didn't know just how rich he is " My babys did you miss me?" Why did he call those artifacts weirdly!? his totally weird.
"What are you doing? Why are you looking at me like that?" Of course who the hell will think you're weird?
"Anyways pick anything you want that is useful for you to use." I look at every edge I couldn't find for a second but there is an artifact attract me, this wand I'm sure this would be helpful.

"Why are you picking that? There are a lot of useful artifacts." He told me that it was his first invention and chose another artifact like I wanted.
"Why don't you hurry up there chosing an artifacts there something I have to show you, this was my biggest project that I've been working on for a few months." I saw an artifact that is the shape I couldn't tell but there are six slots on each side and one slot in the center.
"You've been working on this for a few months?" He's a genius even though he couldn't make an artifact by my self let him alone.
"That is right, I've been working on this for a few months, and I just need a specific material to complete these artifacts."
It's already lunch time I have to go to the dorm before he makes a lot of food again. "I think I have to go back now, I'll see you at school tomorrow."
Before I could make a step, I felt sudden cold rushes through my skin. "Ah, where are you going?" w-wait.
After a while finishing lunch, "Burp, why are you making a lot of lunch and why are you eating a lot?"
"That's kinda rude asking a person who loves to eat and make food." Ha? Seriously, I'm just asking why he is making a lot of food.
In the end, after finishing talking with him, I went back to my dorm. I found it interesting when he told me to pick another artifact.
