Chapter 387: Stabilizers.

With the wine crates found and the owner of the logistics company arrested, the case was officially over, and Blake was paid more than 3 times in contribution points.

When he called Susan to tell her about the mix up she explained that it was because he unknowingly solved multiple cases of robbed warehouses.

“Although I wanted some sort of action, this was way better than having nothing to do.” Blake said as he returned to his room.

Unknown to Blake, his actions had once again attracted a lot of attention to him.

His last investigation mission had tracked Slade and his hideout. Now, he had caused a large logistic company to shut down.

The one thing both missions had was that he had done it under 6 hours!

This caused a lot of people especially fellow detectives to wonder how a 16-year-old was that good.

…..

Some were suspecting that he was linked to those crimes enabling him to quickly solve them, while some saw him as a super-talented adventurer.

Nonetheless, a lot of eyes were now on him watching his every footstep.

The next week the fusion magic class going on in one of the training rooms.

This was the 4th week of school, and Professor Gibson decided it was time for them to enter the practical phase of fusion magic.

“Fusion magic is not only mana consuming, but it produces a lot of power which can be dangerous to the user if not used properly. That is why I am here.”

“Today’s lesson would involve simultaneously activating both pathways and trying to cast spells of both elements.”

“To make things easier, I advise you to cast each element in different hands, and after that, we would be looking at fusing both spells.” Professor Gibson explained.

With Blake having long mastered simultaneously activating all 3 elements, he wasted no time in firing lightning and fire from both hands.

Once he confirmed that nothing was wrong Blake decided it was time to take it to the next level.

‘Let’s go!’

Blake conjured a large tube that led into a large mana box before shooting in large amounts of fire and lightning to heat the air in the tube and box.

[What are you doing?] The system asked.

The last requirement for one to cast fusion magic was to have a high understanding of both elements, and Blake did, at least for the plasma fusion spell. This was all thanks to science.

‘Plasma is the fourth state of matter, and can be made by heating a gas until its electrons have sufficient energy to escape the hold of the positively charged nuclei.’ Blake said.

[What?] The system was even more confused.

‘Plasma is made by heating air to a very high temperature.’ Blake explained in simple terms.

Blake’s action had drawn the attention of everyone in the training room, including Professor Gibson.

It didn’t take long before the crackling sound of lightning had increased and the fire and lightning being shot into the tube had begun turning pink.

In a matter of seconds, everything had turned pink and the mana box which Blake constantly reinforced had burst open revealing a plasma ray.

“I knew mana fusion was stressful and mana consuming, but not like this!” Blake had to take deep breaths as he stopped supplying the plasma ray with more fire and lightning.

[I think it is so tiring because you didn’t properly cast a fusion spell. To properly cast the plasma fusion spell, you need to shoot the fire and lightning as a single entity.] The system said.

‘That explains a lot.’ Blake began thinking of how to fire both lightning and fire from the same hand.

Blake was so engrossed in his thoughts that he hadn’t realized the amount of attention he had brought to himself.

‘He always keeps proving that he is way ahead of his peers. Too bad I can’t reward him.’ Professor Gibson thought.

For classes like fusion magic where the demoted 2nd-year students already knew what was being taught. The school had decided to make it fair by not awarding any points for being the first to accomplish any task.

In turn, the 2nd year students wouldn’t be forced to participate only after it was sure they had mastered the lesson.

As for the demoted 2nd-year students, they were shocked that Blake had cast a fusion spell on his first try.

Even Serhan who was a descendant of the Karius family couldn’t do it on the first try.

This showed how talented Blake was and many were having mixed feelings about it. Some saw it as a threat, while the other group of demoted 2nd years were no longer biased and were slowly being converted to liking Blake.

After lunch, Blake had moved over to the next and final class of the day, Forgemastery.

‘From the looks of it, it seems Professor Tacitus is planning on finally teaching us something.’ Blake thought as Tacitus walked through a warp gate and went straight for the furnace.

“Today, I will be teaching you all the final stages of crafting a proper magic weapon, embedding stabilizers.”

“There are a lot of differences between a proper magic weapon and what you all make, but the 2 main differences are the number of arrays and stabilizers.”

“A high-quality tier weapon would contain hundreds of arrays both on its core and on its body. The problem is that so many arrays would cause both the power source and the weapon to explode during the fusion process. That is where stabilizers come in.”

“Stabilizers could be considered as mini power cores or pseudo cores. They can be made or purchased and also come in different shapes, sizes, and tiers.”

“Creation of stabilizers is not for your level. So we would be moving over to a demonstration on how it is used.”

“This would require a freshly made weapon. So sit back and watch as I forge an elemental weapon.” Professor Tacitus said.

For students, it would take them 2 and a half hours to forge a sword. For Professor Tacitus, it took a little over an hour to forge a bastard, and that included time to prepare the magical materials to improve the sword’s elemental effects.

‘His hammer strikes were immaculate and beyond precise. Not only was his grip sturdy, but he knew the right spots to hit to make the pounding quickly come to an end.” Blake was blown away by Professor Tacitus’ little demonstration.

[I never knew you were a poet, an erotic one at that?] The system was freaked out by Blake’s thoughts.

‘I swear it wasn’t intentional.’ The system’s words made Blake realize what he had just done, but it was already too late.

[It all makes sense now. I have always wondered why you always rejected Tessie and Camilla.] The system said causing Blake to rain curses on it. .

“As you all already know, this would be a fire elemental sword. So to further boost its elemental effects, I would be using the core of a king rank fire Capra as its power source.” Professor Tacitus said as he brought out a large orange beast core.

‘Why is the color of the beast core different?’ Blake couldn’t help but ask.

[When beasts awaken their elements at the King rank. So the evolution process affects their anatomy.] The system explained.

“For the integration method.”

The Orange beast core as well as the bastard sword began floating in mid-air as hundreds of arrays began forming around them.

Once Tacitus was done drawing all the arrays they began shrinking as well as the large orange beast core.

‘The fuck just happened?’ Blake couldn’t help but ask when he saw the king rank beast core which was more than twice the size of a fist, shrink to the size of a diamond-shaped pebble.

[An array.] The system said.

‘If a power source could be reduced to that level, is it possible for an item to have multiple power sources?’ Blake asked.

[Yes, it is, but it requires high-tier knowledge and skill to be able to link them.] The system explained.

Once the integration process was complete, it was finally time to fuse the power source and the sword.

This was when Professor Tacitus brought out 4 yellow crystals from his dimensional space and made them float around the sword.

“To prevent the burst of energy from destroying the sword. You have to be able to properly time when you embed the stabilizers.”

“Doing it too early reduces the power output of the sword while doing it too late destroys the sword.” Professor Tacitus explained as he began moving the shrunk power source closer to the sword.
