Chapter 455: Training

“I see…”

Jin nodded.

Although Jin himself had used Magi Crystals as an energy source before, he had never used up their magical power completely.

Using Magi Crystals as an energy source wasn’t something Jin did too often because they were quite expensive, so he didn’t know they did that.

“Normally, you would write a Magi Formula and use it as a Magi Device. If you use it like that, you probably won’t even use 10% of the Magi Crystal’s Mana.”

Stearleana’s guess was the same as Jin.

“That must be it. I was sure that the part of the Magi Crystal that was getting its Mana consumed would only get lighter…”

The actual weight of Mana and Ether were still unknown. Jin only knew that they both weighed very little.

“What we can say with this is that, rather than filling the gaps in the crystal’s structure, it is more likely that Mana will crystallize at the same time to create a Magi Crystal.”

That is to say, they also require the presence of mana to crystallize.

“But we didn’t know what components other than Mana were there, right?”

Elsa sounded vexed.

“Well, I have a guess.”

“Huh?”

“I don’t know of any material or substance that when it loses its Mana, it also loses its crystals. Which means…”

“…That they’re made out of Ether?”

“Yeah. I’m wondering if that’s the case. Let’s call them ‘Magi Atoms’ for now.”

“Magi Atoms…”

Elsa, who knew the basics of science, was able to follow Jin’s theory.

“They would be made of Magi Elementals such as Magitron, Magi Proton, and Magi Electron, and these Magi Elementals would, in turn, be made of Ether.”

“…And then they would be shaped into a Magi Crystal by interacting with Mana?”

“Something along those lines. That would be amazing.”

Elsa’s brain was moving at a high speed.

“Perhaps a poor quality Magi Crystal will leave some residue behind after running out of Mana.”

And they were able to confirm this through an experiment.

Some mineral powder remained after they tried using up all of the Mana out of some low quality Magi Crystals.
