Chapter 96: VOL 2 Chapter 41: The elemental Synchronization.
Discreetly, Eleonora stepped away from the argument that was about to erupt between those two fiery women and approached Erik, who, ever since meeting Jessica, seemed to be constantly lost in thought. She then asked in a calm tone.
"What's the matter, Erik? What are you thinking about so much?"
"Oh, it's just that I found it curious how the Myst behaves around that woman, which gave me ideas to finally achieve elemental synchronization." Called by his master, Erik turned to look at her and replied, still somewhat lost in his thoughts.
The elemental Synchronization was one of the advanced techniques of mana control and harmony with the Myst. It allows the user to synchronize their affinities with the natural elements through the Myst, enhancing not only the power of a spell but also its control.
The problem was that Erik had no affinities. Until now, it was the only advanced-level technique he hadn't mastered, and although he had tried various methods over the years, nothing had worked. Even though his connection with the Myst was even deeper than what a Master-level could achieve, it was impossible for him to use the Myst to connect with natural elements, so he had put it on hold.
But the moment Erik sensed the Myst around Jessica, he noticed something curious. Despite the Myst showing some strange fluctuations unlike anything he had felt before, there were also fluctuations suggesting the existence of magical affinities in her, although they were slightly different.
The point is that, according to those fluctuations, she had all six basic affinities separately and simultaneously, which didn't make sense. So Erik began thinking about how that could be possible, which brought him endless ideas to try, aiming to achieve something similar to the 'pseudo-affinities' that Jessica had.
"Are you serious, Erik?"
Upon hearing Erik's words, Eleonora asked, a bit surprised. After all, she and Sigrún had been searching everywhere, using the full extent of their power and influence across the galaxy to find a solution, but so far, they hadn't had any luck.
In the end, they had even started looking for Jessica everywhere, but in such a vast galaxy, coupled with such an elusive woman, locating her was quite a complicated task. Moreover, whenever they found her, she would 'coincidentally' disappear again. So now that Erik, after seeing her just once, already had ideas to fix one of the major problems they faced, it was a delightful surprise.
"Yes, although for now, they're just ideas; I don't have anything concrete yet." Erik replied thoughtfully, which made Eleonora smile cheerfully as she commented in a sing-song voice.
