"Wow!"
"How did you do that? It's amazing!"
Inside Punk Hazard's Institute of Science, Vegapunk stared in amazement at a small fragment of gold in the palm of Dean Isaac's hand.
Just a few seconds earlier, that piece was nothing more than a simple rock taken out of an aquarium.
"It's extremely, extremely, extremely... elegant!"
Dr. Stylish also stared in disbelief at the stone transformed into gold.
"I once saw Dorothea draw a transmutation circle on the ground and turn a rock into a diamond, but in that case, both materials had the same base composition. Although it looked like magic, it probably just altered its internal structure somehow."

Dr. Stylish frowned, visibly puzzled. Instinctively, he pushed his glasses up with his hand.

Meanwhile, around him, several renowned scientists gathered to witness the amazing phenomenon.
