Even though Acht was still recovering from the previous training session, he still couldn't wait to try his idea. It was simply that good.
So, first of all, he pulled out Ooze and looked at it for a while thoughtfully.
His mind worked at an extremely fast speed, doing calculations and moving through a rough idea of how he should do it.
After that, he changed the shape of the Ooze liquid into the shape of his hand. It took him some time to be able to make it look exactly like his hand since shaping a very detailed object like his hand wasn't easy at all.
He then tried to control each finger alone, bending it and releasing it a few times to wrap his head around how to make it function like a normal hand.
Expectedly, it was no easy task at all. He found trouble making one finger move alone since it made a huge chunk of the Ooze hand bend too, destroying the whole shape.
"Hm…This level of control is really hard." He muttered with a slightly disheartened tone but he was still not going to give up. This kind of idea would literally make him invincible in front of his enemies.
So, with a renewed resolve, he kept trying to move a finger alone.
Time passed as he tried and failed countless times. It might make anyone lose hope by this time, but for Acht, he wouldn't give up until he was genuinely helpless, which was clearly not the case here since he made some small progress with each attempt.
In a matter of one hour, he went from bending the whole hand to slightly moving the finger alone and then to being able to make it move in an almost normal manner.
He was happy that he was able to improve in such a short period. In fact, this level of progress was jaw-dropping for other people and would make some of them have a heart stroke and die.
Now that he was able to move one finger, the rest of the process was a hundred times easier. Half an hour later, he was able to make the hand move and make precise gestures with some small errors here and there. It was also still quite rigid in its movements but that could be fixed with continuous use and practice.
After that, he created another hand identical to the other hand and made them hold the bow.
With an extremely focused look, he made the two hands hold the bow as if they were going to shoot. Unfortunately, the two hands couldn't possibly handle this weight and started shaking.
But, he didn't care about that and only focused on the task he wanted to do which was to actually shoot an arrow with these Ooze hands.
After making sure the grip was tight and the string was pulled enough, he channeled his soul force into the bow through those hands and created an energy arrow.
Then, with a long breath, he released the string and the arrow flew away.
It didn't obviously hit the target since it flew way higher than intended. But, this was a huge success no matter how much Acht looks at it.
"This is amazing." He muttered as he wiped the sweat from his face.
This new idea could be his new support in fights. It was as if he was fighting along with another person instead of being alone.
Not only that, but he could also have a constant weapon against any long-range enemies that he couldn't approach and fight directly which would erase one of his weaknesses.
"I could totally dominate any battle with this. A true combo of domination. The midnight song and the S-Rank Bow."
His mood was now way better than before, he was still pissed but at least, things are working the way he wanted for once.
As he was celebrating his own success, a knock on the capsule woke him up from his happy times and made him return to his cold expression and his foul mood.
He looked at the door and checked the person knocking through the camera. It was Lein.
"What do you want?" He asked without opening the door.
"The boss is calling for you. Hurry your ass outside quickly." She said before she left without any other words.
'What is it, tsk?" He clicked his tongue and then walked out of the capsule.
Then, he walked to the bar area in slow steps. There was nothing rushing him.
He opened the door and found Lenny and Lein sitting there.
The old man had a casual look that made him seem harmless to many people and wouldn't link him to the boss of the most dangerous organization in the whole Lower World.
"Good evening, Acht." He said when he saw him.
The boy didn't answer and merely asked.
"What do you want?"
"You fucker!!" Lein was about to stand up but got stopped by Lenny immediately. It only took one gesture from his hand for her to click her tongue and sit down, still glaring at Acht who ignored her totally.
"Sit down." He said to the boy.
Acht didn't listen and merely rested his back on the wall and crossed his arms.
"Go ahead." He said.
"Sigh, I have a mission for you. Your first ever mission." He spoke.
"Mission?"
"Yes. You will accompany Lein and work with her."
"But, boss!!"
"No buts, you will work together and finish the mission together. We already talked about this so don't repeat the same topic again."
Lein clenched her teeth hearing his words and stayed silent.
As for Acht, he was also very annoyed but he had no other choice but to do it.
"What is the mission exactly?"
Lenny didn't answer immediately as he rubbed his beard.
"You will be going to the great wall." He said as casually as he could be.
