Long before Cian had started to join Magi in his job, he was already a talented mage who could wield his fire. He would set firewood on fire on command, and make certain parts of his body appear to be on fire.It was his affinity with fire magic that allowed him to do so but longer usage had made Cian feel his body's temperature rise gradually.As Magi found out about this drawback, he would begin to restrict using his raw magic. It would be then also the start where Magi's intellect was challenged, creating devices from scraps that he would find in his enemies' belongings. Shanti, his employer was also an inventor and a mentor. He would teach Cian how to create his weapon and if possible, to create something that would fit Cian as well. Cian's raw flame magic exceeded the temperature limit of the devices that Magi would create. They weren't weak, but Cian's flames were simply too hot and rampant to be kept still. Soon enough, Magi would find a scrapped Grant that survived his f

Finally arriving a the lowest level, Magi walked in only to see Cian sitting before the sole pod that glowed red. Sabrine, the woman he had been chasing since earlier was right on the ground, squirming in her bondage.“Cian. I—”“Is it true, Cian?”Out of the blue, Cian asked as he leaned back without looking at him. Magi, who was met with this random question knew what he meant by that as he stood behind him. Magi knew everything as well. It was why he had thought that Teresa could be dead, not even batting an eye when he had said that. Cian knew that his brother was cold and had not felt attached to anyone in the orphanage but for Cian, it was the only place that took them in regardless. “Sigh... Yes.”Magi sighed. The cat was out of the bag. To think that Cian would know means that Sabrine had told him. “D-Don't look at me like that. He's the one who asked me.”Sabrine would look away after receiving Magi's glare, however, Cian would finally stand up and face Magi. “You said

After the incident in the compound, word would spread out on the surface of it being destroyed by mysterious figures once more. The fire had spread down to the bottom level of it that it was impossible to retrieve anything and all of the corpses inside were too scorched to be recognized by the local coalition forces.Sentient Guards had begun to scout the area after events like this began to be frequent, and this could be connected to the same explosion in Central Park.Toru Nagumo, who was one of the wanted criminals with a bounty was discovered, frozen, and sealed in ice. However, his vitals showed that he was still alive, and with that, the Sentient Guards took him away to be kept in a maximum security compound where no mages can escape. All the detectives could do was investigate near the surface of the compound, going down was not safe as there were four levels down that could still be burning with the tubes made out of flammable materials.There were somehow liquefied substan

“Hup. It's done. With this universal interface, she'll be able to maneuver around by herself. She would be able to access the mini-drones once I give her clearance. I'll work on the centrifuge now.”Amidst their operations to create a cure for Teresa, Magi created another portable console that Violet was supposed to house as an AI. There were mini-drones that were stashed to the side and bought from the black market.She was also one who would help their calculations be simulated accurately after all. [Even without clearances, I can brute force my way through.]“——?!”With a brief loud beeping sound of an alarm that changed into pleasant bling, the drones quickly turned on and flew around the room, barely avoiding the walls and going back to where they came from. It was but a quarter of Violet's capabilities. Everything she can do was still yet to be shown. “Alright. While we're at it, I might ask you some questions. I'm quite interested in how exactly, an inventor, transfers huma

“——Magi. Have you ever trusted your brother?”“———”Before Magi could leave as he turned his back on Teresa, she asked one question that made Magi pause. “He always puts his faith in you. Isn't that why he is always reckless? He always believes that you'll come in to save and help him.”Standing at the doorstep where Magi was prompted to go, Sabrine and Bahamut listened to Teresa's words closely. They could see Magi's supposedly cold expression change into widened eyes and gritted teeth. “Yeah. That's exactly why I'm going there.”Magi would continue to take one step, but then again, Teresa would speak once more to stop him. “You know, I don't need to be saved. I do trust you can make something that would cure me even if you treated by coldly. However, the same goes for your brother... He doesn't need you to save him right now. He needs you to trust him.”“———”Magi would turn his head around to look at Teresa, and this time she was looking at Magi with a smile. He shrugged every
