64 Side Story - Evan's Experiments 1

Evan POV:

Whew!

Getting these people back to their castle is No Joke!

Thankfully Trish and the others were here to save the day.

Well, The Goblins were an actual threat but not as much as how Ruby was. But in the end no one was killed, some were hurt though.

Right now, The People will stay here until Trish and Daisy give an all-clear signal. Tifa is helping Elizabeth and im all alone with my thoughts.

It's not a bad thing since I can focus on my Plan once again.

Right now its Day time, the sun is high and im going back to my Mansion.

When I entered, Lucy and Oswald were just standing near the entrance, waiting for me.

[Welcome Back, Shishou!] (Lucy & Oswald)

[Im Back] (Me)

[Your Contribution today during the Dragon's fight were Amazing Shishou! Not only were you Fighting The Guild Master with everything you had but you kept giving away Mana Balls to everyone.] (Lucy)

Hold on a second. These guys know about Mana balls?

[Honestly Speaking, the amount you provided in a single span of a minute is impossible no matter how I see it. I wanted to ask how much your total mana is if you don't mind.] (Oswald)

[Oswald! Don't Be Straight Forward like that! It's Rude!] (Lucy)

[But there's no other way of asking that.] (Oswald)

[Wait hold on, you guys know about mana balls?] (Me)

[Hm? Mana ball is a Beginner spell that any Magician can do.] (Oswald)

[It's highly versatile but its mana cost is outrageous so no one uses it. Except for you.] (Lucy)

Ohhhhh

[So how much Total mana do you guys have?] (Me)

Lucy Looked up in pride.

[Being the Genius I am, I have Three times more mana than an Average!] (Lucy)

[For me its Two times more mana than an average.] (Oswald)

...... What in the Hell does that Mean! Tell me a Numerical value!

I need a better Reference Point. But what and how?

[Heh, That reminds me, After Evan's Amnesia, we forgot to tell him about his total mana.] (Nezha)

I heard Nezha who was coming down the stairs with Hope in her Hands.

{Author Note: Hope is the baby with Golden Hair.}

[Oh hey Mom, Hello Hope!] (Me)

[Papa!] (Hope)

Mom came up to me and gave me Hope.

{Author Note: (o.o) That Sentence is confusing.}

[Your Total Mana is Two times more than Normal.] (Nezha)

........ That Does not help me one bi- Wait A Min! Was That Why I Had Two mana Stars at the Beginning!?!

I NEED PROOF!

[Hey Lucy, How many times can an average cast the wand of sparking?] (Me)

A wand of sparking has a Mana cost of 2 Mp. With that, I can calculate the rest.

Lucy placed her hand on her Chin.

[Hmmm..... If im correct, an Average can cast wand of sparking 10 times before collapsing due to mana exhaustion.] (Lucy)

Ohhhh so I was Correct then!

I Nodded to Lucy's answer.

[W-Wait Hold On! Shishou! You Made Nearly few Hundreds of Mana Balls in a span of a Minute! How Is That Possible When your Total Mana is the Same As Mine!?!] (Oswald)

[Oswald! Don't be Rude!] (Lucy)

Oswald just realized that he was lashing out and was scared.

[Im Sorry, Shishou!!] (Oswald)

[Papa, When will we play?] (Hope)

Heh.

[Just after Papa Finishes his work, okay?] (Me)

Hope made a huge charming smile.

[Okay!] (Hope)

[That reminds me Where's Faith?] (Me)

[I left her with Helput-] (Nezha)

There was a loud crashing noise from upstairs. and then some Kid either crying or laughing. It was hard to discern.

Nezha just Shot away with insane speed and ran up the stairs.

I could hear her shouts from here.

[HELPUTT!! IF SOMETHING HAPPENED TO FAITH THEN I SWEAR YOU'RE GONNA REGRET IT!!!] (Nezha)

I also ran up and it was just Helputt who was acting - no, he was forced to act like a puppet that is controlled by strings. Only, he was controlled by vines and Tania was standing on the side.

Faith was on my Bed laughing immensely on Show that was presented to her.

Helputt slowly looked at us with distressed eyes and somehow managed to squeeze out two words.

[Save.....Me.] (Helputt)

[We lost a good man Today.] (Me)

[DON'T ACT LIKE IM DEAD!!!] (Helputt)

[No Screaming.] (Tania)

..... and then, Tania just made Helputt move in the most Inhumane ways that I could hear bones Cracking with the sounds of laughter from both Faith and hope.

[Okay, Mom. You're up.] (Me)

I handed Hope to Nezha and left with Lucy and Oswald.

I haven't seen Luna and Mia yet but they're probably working along with Jeff and the others on the mess of people outside.

[Alright Guys, You wanted to know how I could use Mana Balls non stop right?] (Me)

Both of them made resolute faces and nodded.

[Alright, I'll tell you how I did it. But First, let's do some experiments.] (Me)

* 5 Minutes Later*

Right now im outside in the woods with Lucy and Oswald.

So let's break down the info I have.

Firstly, an Average Person's mana is 20 Points.

Secondly, People have no way of increasing mana.

Thirdly, Mana Crystals, or the item that permanently increases mana, can increase someone total mana by 10x of his original max mana, Theoretically which may be the reason why I have more than 200 mana points.

That's the whole theory I have with me right now.

Now, let's see if the Mana star can actually Help others too, but first. I need a guinea pig.

[Alright now that everything is done. I want one of you to absorb this.] (Me)

I took out a Mana Star which I created just now in my inventory. I have another one in my inventory just in case.

[I Want one of you to absorb this.] (Me)

[Um, Shishou. What is that?] (lucy)

[Something I made recently. It will, hopefully, permanently increase your max mana limit.] (Me)

[REALLY!?!] (Lucy)

[I did say hopefully right? Okay, Oswald, you use it. You're the only one here with the least amount of mana.] (Me)

[R-Really!?! Isn't that really expensive?] (Oswald)

[This Thing? Nah. It's actually quite cheap. So go ahead don't be shy and use it.] (Me)

I threw it at him.

He panicked and carefully caught it.

[T-Then Please Don't Mind me!] (Oswald)

[H-How Enviable!] (Lucy)

A Blue light started coming out of the star and going straight into Oswald.

Hey! Those Visual Effects Didn't Happen With Me!

A few seconds later, the mana star Shattered to dust.

[Alright. Oswald do you feel anything different?] (Me)

[N-No, Not really.] (Oswald)

[Okay, now use this until you exhaust your mana completely.] (Me)

I handed over my wand of Sparking.

Oswald nodded and started throwing some fire sparks on the ground using the wand.

5....10.....20.

[Oh?] (Oswald)

[Hm? What Happened?] (Me)

[I can't cast it anymore.] (Oswald)

[Really?] (Me)

He could cast it 20 times that means his mana didn't increase. So the Mana Crystal doesn't work on them?

[So was it a Fail?] (Lucy)

[Wait, Hold on. I don't feel any sort of tiredness or exhaustion....Maybe I can still.] (Oswald)

And then Oswald cast another Spark.

Lucy was surprised and Oswald's legs were shaking, I don't know if it's with fear or excitement.

[Woah! Oswald! How Did you Do That!] (Lucy)

[I-I Don't Know. Shishou! What's Happening to Me!] (Oswald)

Looks like the Experiment is still going.

*Few Minutes later*

Alright. I have concluded that Every single person has Broken mana with him (a term I made).

When they consume a mana star it will fix the broken mana into Pure mana. The same mana which I have. Which means they can regenerate mana as fast as I can.

To test this theory I had to give both of my mana stars to Oswald.

Oswald is right now dancing with joy and Lucy is Biting her Clothes in Anger because she didn't get a mana star.

I'll make it up to her by teaching her how to make it.

Well, now I have a new Objective. and that's to, at the very least make every person I know, get pure mana through mana crystal.

How do I do That?

Easy. Guild!

I asked Ruby and Elizabeth for that and they were more than happy to help me.

The Next Day, I ended up with 18 Fallen Stars or 6 Mana Crystals.

I gave 2 to Lucy, one to both Luna and Mia and the last two to Hope and Faith..... only..... It was fine with the others except for Hope and Faith.

This is how it Went.

I was playing around with Hope and Faith alone in my room.

[Alright, Its Feeding time right? Look what I brought for you two!] (Me)

I took out the Mana Crystals.

They curiously looked at it and I gave it to them.

They were looking at its every inch, deciding what to do with it. until they threw it away.

[No, Papa Mana, more Tasty!] (Faith)

[Yes!] (Hope)

[Listen you two. My mana maybe Tastier, but this thing is much more beneficial to you. So come on eat it. If you're still hungry then ill give you my mana too.

I held the mana crystals to them but they smacked it away.

[No!] (Faith)

[We Want Papa Mana!] (Hope)

...... Is this what Feeding your kid's Broccoli feels like?

YOU TWO ARE GONNA EAT YOUR BROCCOLI!!!

*A Few Minutes Later*

Faith and hope are on my bed, trying their best to stop their tears.

I feel like I've committed a crime and I'll honest, I have never felt much more like a villain than right now.

*Creaaaaak*

I heard the door open slowly and a small chill behind my back.

I looked back and there was one very angry Nezha there.

After that I was scolded for like an hour.
