The following morning, when Adam woke up, he was immediately startled by the strange phenomenon happening outside his cottage.
Alert, he immediately expanded his Sphere of Resonance to see what was going on. Then, his eyes gradually widened.
Edward hadn't moved from the boulder the entire night. In fact, currently, he seemed to be in a state of… enlightenment.
Because the changes around him that Adam was witnessing right now were usually seen in Mana Vortex Magi who were close to advancing to the Mana Core Rank.
As a mere Mana Liquefaction Magus, Edward was already showing signs of resonance!
Adam sighed, shaking his head and thinking to himself, Ah, so enviable.
His lips curled into a faint smile as he sensed the lonesome, broad back of his childhood friend.
Looks like I might have been harsh on him yesterday, he mused.
At least he's back on the right track for now.
...I hope.
