While Miria went to eat dinner with the adults, Felix pondered what he had learned during the day. And as he thought about everything they had learned, he tried not to manically grin in delight.
He was finally delving into the secrets of alchemy. At long last, after years of unsuccessfully searching on his own, he knew how to progress.
Felix had been the most excited when Miria asked who wanted to go to alchemy prep school. Unlike other essences, binding essence seed hard to use intuitively, even with his exceptional affinity.
The first class of school had clarified a lot of things for him. Felix had never realized that binding essence needed to work as a sort of external sense before it could be used for alchemy. Once he’d realized what the ‘correct’ direction was, using his binding essence to go further had felt… easy. Natural. It was like learning how to breathe. It felt exactly the sa way the others had described their own extre affinities.
Felix finally gave in, and grinned with delight. He was finally learning the magic system ant for him. He started running through the exercise they had learned in class again. He didn't have any of the fancy liquids their teacher had used, but that was fine. He could sense his own essence well enough to confirm that binding essence was leaving his body.
said Anise over the communication bracelet, interrupting Felix’s sixth repetition of the exercise.
He asked, trying not to wince as his attempt to sense parts of the bowl of liquid in front of him fell apart.
said Anise.
asked Felix, trying not to show his surprise. The Zelyrian magic system was harder to learn than the magic system from the world of the black sun. And Anise wanted to do everything on her own , so that she wouldn’t miss out on a keyword ability. So the idea that Anise was asking for help surprised him. Why was Anise risking missing out on her keyword ability?
said Anise.
Felix grinned, and started making his way towards the yard of Anise’s apartnt. His thoughts constantly circled around Anise's new project as he thought of new ideas and ways to make it work. He might not have the expertise to build what Anise wanted yet, but one thing was certain. He was incredibly excited to see if Anise's idea would work.
