"Intuition," was the answer Kayden gave, but his thought was ’they’re mediocre’. The doubt he saw in her eyes sickened him. Kayden would do many things for power, but he would always adhere to his code of ethics and morals.
They weren’t particularly very pretty and he would do many horrible things for 1% strength, but in the end, he would give up dozens of levels if it went against his ideals. A few minutes later, the door opened revealing...
"Where is Anthony?" Anabela entered alone, surprising Kayden. If he thought any of the two would remain firm in their decision, it was the girl in front of him. But he didn’t take into account the psychological toll that the defeat he caused had on Anabela’s head.
"He decided to stay," the girl said just that and avoided Kayden’s gaze. His face was red with embarrassment.
"Use the plant first and try to tell us what its benefit is, or go back to the room with Anthony." Anabela wasn’t an idiot and already expected something like this. Then he just put the liquid in his mouth and swallowed.
Instantly, she felt lighter, and an absurd mental clarity opened up to her. Everything seemed to be easy to understand and learn. This feeling was identical to the nectar of knowledge.

Without wasting time, she released just one sentence and began to use clarity to think about her wizard concepts.
"Knowledge." With that, Kayden and Ashley just put the liquid in their mouths and had the same sensations.
Kayden felt two concepts calling him: one of them was bondage, one of the concepts he chose to accompany his path in the first realm, and the second concept was static energy, an important concept for him to improve his control over lightning and learn the technique. of bolt.
In an instant, he weighed the value of each concept. In one, he would gain instant strength and his path would undergo a good improvement. In the other, it would be a smaller improvement and with more focus on the future. Fortunately, Kayden was not an idiot and would trade momentary strength for greater strength in the future. Therefore, he chose static energy.
The concept of static energy was nothing more than energy imbalance. Normally, the energy in certain objects is neutral and has the same number of protons and electrons. But when we rub our hair against a balloon, energy is passed from one to the other.
The problem was how to place this in a mana world, where mana could alter the balance while maintaining it. For example, Kayden could make his hair positively charged even without the help of a bladder.
Maybe the solution was balanced? But that wasn’t right, because when static energy arises, the balance is broken, which is why our hair stands on end and the bladder sticks to the wall.
In a system, energy must remain constant and unchanging, at least in a closed system. Kayden found himself in a room with carpet and a metal doorknob. Whenever he walked on the carpet, his body accumulated negative energy.
When he touched the doorknob, the negative charge in his body was dissipated into the metal, which had a positive charge. The speed with which the two charges meet each other generates an electric current and we feel a shock.
Something he would never have noticed if he hadn’t learned the concept of energy appeared in front of him. The spare energy slowly dissipated into the air. The doorknob returned to its previous charge and so did the carpet.
The mana flow was tiny, ridiculously small, but it was there. The energy dissipated into the air and the system returned to square one.
’Square zero?’ Kayden got lost in that word, and after a few minutes, the answer dawned on him. There was no square one, and the balance was imbalanced, when the doorknob was left with the same load for a long time, its interactions began to happen with the air.
When the air was dry, it became an electrical insulator that made the system remain in its normal state of equilibrium, but when its humidity increased, the exchange of electricity occurred at greater values, and a new equilibrium was formed with more energy within the system.
’Static energy is always present, it just remains on a smaller scale, balance is always maintained, and there is no imbalance at this point, at least when we are talking about mana flow.’
The final reveal was everything Kayden needed. His eyes opened with small rays swirling about them. Instantly, when he woke up, he could feel the difference in charge in the air and how things behaved.
His mind began to blur and he faintly felt a rush of blood to his genitals. Instantly, Kayden cut off the effects and removed any mana that didn’t belong to him from his body.
Not only that, but he was able to naturally tell which points in the room would receive lightning most easily, just because of the different energy flow at each point. He tested it and noticed that at some points the messy charges prevented the beam from descending with all its force. It wasn’t very exhausting, but 5% of the force was lost to breaking the wrong loads.
Kayden tried to organize them and...
BOOOM!
The lightning struck with much more force than normal. It seemed like he had no difficulty getting down to the ground. It was as if this was his natural place in the grand scheme of things.
The boy continued his tests for a few more seconds when he saw Anabela wake up with her eyes unfocused, Ashley was still sitting on the floor, and without pausing the girl came to Kayden and threw her clothes away.
"Kayden....fuck me?"
********
An hour later Kayden called Anthony who entered the break room and saw the two girls dressed and with expressionless faces, the environment was destroyed by their spells.
"What did it do?" Anthony asked and the answer left him depressed, but he preferred to remain firm in his ideas, he may not have known, but he gained Kayden’s respect.
