Five days later, Philip and Justine has collected enough data for the research paper to work. They made sure that the data that they gathered are valid and reliable
Philip and Justine was happy with the results but Philip knows they are far from over. He explained all of his plans to Justine from here on out
Before they start the next phase of the experimentation, Philip revised his papers from when he wrote one for Yozu back in the Mystical Academy. He polished the research papers and made sure that the Laws of Mysticism is accurate, especially the part where Mystical Energy is supposed to be magic and it's supposed to be a force, as well as Mana being a type of energy rather than being a force
He included the Laws of Mysticism on the 1000-paged research papers to further support his theories and findings. If the other professional researchers would ever read this research paper, they would have a debate on whether they would be calling Philip as the Father of Mysticism or some sort
Now that the part of Laws of Mysticism is out of the way, Philip and Justine went ahead to create what they call Mana Electronic. They will be creating new types of electronics that uses Mana and Mana Stones
They had fun together and they created simple electronics like lighting up the Manabulb or turning a small motor on with Mana. Papers scattered everywhere and light from the computers illuminated the room
Justine went ahead and slept to rest her mind while Philip continued to work for the past seven days without sleeping. Surprisingly, he isn't showing any signs of fatigue or insanity, he looks healthy and full of energy
This is because his Emotion Manipulation was upgraded and he could manipulate his emotion of sleepiness, drowsiness, thirst, and hunger. But that doesn't mean he don't want to experience the taste of the food, wetness of beverages, and satisfaction from sleeping. He had no choice anyways because he needed to finish this experiment as soon as possible
Morning came and Justine woke up. She rubbed her eyes and looked around. She saw Philip still sitting on his chair in front of the office table while tinkering items in front of him
She looked around more and saw hundreds of small electronics scattered on the floor. Some looked complex and some looked simple. There are depleted Mana Stones and Gems and broken Mana Fibers
She stood up and went towards Philip then hugged him from the behind. She placed her head next to Philip's head that both of their cheeks are touching
"What are you doing?"
"Look"
"!!!"
Justine was surprised after seeing the parts and pieces that is laid down on the table. The shape of the parts are familiar enough that she instantly understood what Philip is making
"Is that a gun?"
"Yes, a Magic Gun"
"!!!"
Justine was surprised once more. She neevr thought that a fantasy item would be created and yet, she's witnessing it for the first time
Even though Mathilda could create energy blasters and cannons from her body, it's nowhere near to the levels of a Magic Gun. Plus, those weapons are only exclusive to her since only she could use it
With the creation of a Magic Gun, comes the creation of magic weapons. This is Philip's goal in the first place, to quench his desire for fantady items and weapons
Philip first studied Structural Engineering to create a new branch of engineering called Compact Engineering
Compact Engineering si a branch of engineering that creates compact structures and bodies make space and use less resources
Philip was able to create a futuristic design of a gun using Compact Engineering. Since Philip will be using Mana Stones and Mana Fibers, the size of the Magic Gun is smaller than a handgun but it should have more firepower
He predicted that the Magic Gun will remove recoil, rifling, and gunpowder since it will be using Magic
Philip assembled the Magic Gun body and nozzle. He attached the handle and the trigger and he dared to place an Energy Stone as the source of the bullets
He then remembered the bullets that was used when Chris' soldiers shot at him. The bullets were made out of Spirit Stones and he thought of how they made the bullets
Nonetheless, Philip believes that his magic bullets will be far superior than their Mana Bullets
He then assembled the Mana Fibers in the Magic Gun. He did not place only Spirit Fibers but he made alloys or variety of Mana Fibers
Apparently, as he found out from his experimentations, the flow of Mana through the Mana Fibers can be controlled by adding a tier of Mana Fibers when twisting it together. With Mana Strings, such as Spirit Strings and Mystical Strings, he could make a completely new kind of Mana Fibers that accepts a specific flow of Mana in a different velocity and intensity at the same time
The formulated ratio for creating a single Mana Fiber from Mana Strings is 10:1. Ten Mana Strings are required to make one Mana Fiber by twisting them together
In this Magic Gun, Philip created ten different variations of Mana Fibers from having five parts of Mystical Strings and five parts Spirit Strings in an alternate pattern or by twos pattern, two parts Mystical Strings and eight parts Spirit Strings, and many more. With this, Philip has created different variations of Mana Fibers that accepts different intesities and magnitudes of Mana. Philip needdd Justine to measure these unit measurements
For a few hours, Philip assembled the Magic Gun until it was completed. Justine was hugging him from behind the entire time while watching him assemble
Then, the Magic Gun has been completed. There was a grip where a few carved Spirit Stones are stationed as energy reserves in the magazine, a spherical storage where a floating Energy Stone is found, a long gun barrel where long and complex Mana Fibers are interweaved and installed, a trigger that activates the instantaneous flow of Mana, and a nozzle, carved from a Spirit Crystal that can release a wave of Mana as bullet in a form of Magic
This is possible because a higher tier of type of Mana Stone is being used to shock the lower tier of type of Mana Crsytal. In addition to the variety of Mana Fibers, the Spirit Crystal will be surprised and release a specific amount of Mana in a form of Magic in one direction due to the shape that it was carved in
"What will you call it?"
Justine asked
"Since this is a prototype and it's the first invention that I have made... I'll call it MM-5 Proto-Mk I"
"Oh? What's the meaning behind that name?"
"Mana Magic and the five resemble an S which stands for Spirit. Prototype-Mark one"
"Ah..."
Justine wasn't too impressed by the name but she guess that it will suffice since it seemed to be catchy
"Are you also going to present that to whoever you're giving it to?"
"No, I'll provide the blueprints and instructions on how to make it themselves. That includes that instruments that is needed to be used to extract Mana Stones, twirl Mana Strings, and convert types and kinds of Mana Stones. I'll keep this gun to myself"
"I see, so you could at least defend yourself"
"Yeah! Should we test it?"
"Right now? Where?"
"Just throught the balcony door"
Philip then aimed MM-5 Proto-Mk I at the door and pressed the trigger
Justine felt shivers when she felt that Mana gathered around Philip and sucked into the gun as the nozzle of the gun generated a ball of Mana and shot through the door
The bullet had too much energy that it generated small shockwaves after being shot and the bullet disappeared after travelling a few hundred kilometers to the sky and tore through the clouds that made giant gaping holes
"Is that an orbital strike ot some sort? It's too powerful!"
Justine was shocked by the power generated by a small gun
"I guess using an Energy Stone is too much for a small weapon, I should have sticked to Spirit Stones or at least Mystical Stones"
"Are you going to replace the Energy Stone?"
"Nope! This is a few of my trump cards against my enemies. They'll regret antagonizing me when I shot them with this gun"
"..."
Justine was speechless but she understood where Philip is coming from. Why show mercy to your enemies when you can assert dominance?
"This is one of your many goals for conducting these experiments, right?"
"Yes and I think you'll be excited for what we'll be doing next"
"Really?"
"Yup! But first, let me revise these research papers and add my thoughts on it"
"Okay, I'll help too"
Philip and Justine fixed the research papers and made a few revisions like the varieties of Mana Fibers and the precautions of the Magic Gun. They then finally gave it a research title;
"Taking Advantage of Mana, Spirit, and Magic in the Mysticism Age to Develop the World"
The title is simple but the thought is there. So far, the research has more over 1500 pages and Philip is not done yet. The real deal starts now with fantasy merging into the world
Philip took the thick wooden stick, that he asked for Jude a few days ago, and carved it using his Sword Energy. The wooden stick became more like a cane or a staff
"Wait! No way you're making that?!"
"Yup!"
Justine's eyes widened after seeing the shape of the wooden staff. The body had thin stem and it grows thicker until it reaches one end. The end is thicker and it looked like it spiralled back into itself. There was an empty socket in the middle of the thick part where an object can be placed
Philip grabbed a Spirit Core and placed it on the socket. The Spirit Core perfectly fit on the socket and hummed quietly. It was because Philip also infused the wooden staff with Mana and drew Mana Strings across the surface of the staff
Philip was able to afford using a whole Spirit Core even though he only has one Spirit Core because he has a Mystical Core. There are one million Spirit Cores in one Mystical Core and at least one trillion Spirit Cores in one Energy Core. Then, there are one septilion Spirit Cores in one Atomic Core. Of course, with one septilion Spirit Cores, there will be one decilion Spirit Stones
In comparison, the amount of Spirit Stones in one Atomic Core is too much that the volume surpasses that of Earth. If all those Spirit Stones were clumped together, it will make a planet that is 46.16 quadrillion times larger than the Earth and 35.48 billion times larger than the Sun. It would be a different story if a Divine Core or even a Divine Star is converted down to Spirit Stones
So, Philip has enough Spirit Stones in the world to use to experiment on Magic Circuitry
"Yeah, this is a Magic Staff or, I would call it, Spirit Staff for now"
"Does it do what I think it does?"
"No"
"What do you mean?"
"This Spirit Core only has Mana and it's attributeless. Right now, this Magic Staff is useless except for when storing Mana or at least becoming a source of Mana"
"Then, why make it?"
"Look, I will not include this to the research papers because anarchy, disorder, and wars will happen if this has been known"
"What is it?"
"There is a way to make an attributed Mana Stone and it's a very inhumane way to obtain it. It is also because the transition of Mysticism Age is still too early that no attributed Mana Stones has been formed or found"
"..."
"Bones from people that has abilities will be gathered, crushed, and collect the Spirit Fibers, as well as the Mana infused bones located at the Mana Spots. There are also a new Mana material called Mana Orbs located in their brains. The stronger that ability that the person has, the bigger the Mana Orb is. There will also be something that is called Mana Shard located in the heart. Each materials has a different purpose in using it as a raw material for the Magic Items"
"What? Then, why did you even make it in the first place"
Justine was agitated, she was afraid that Philip will be willing to kill to gather their resources for his own experiments. He would become a mad scientist if he would ever do that
"Three to ten years from now... Atlantis will rise and Magical Beasts and Monsters will be born, or more accurately, will come to our world and the Atlantians will manage them"
Philip explained the future to Justine as his eyes were glowing golden. He then looked at Justine and saw that Justine was looking at him with worried eyes
"Don't worry, nothing will happen bad at all. It will actually become orderly. Special materials that has never been found on Earth before can be obtained and used on machines and technology"
"How sure are you that it will happen?"
"Just a hunch..."
"..."
Both Philip and Justine became melancholic after Philip explained the dark side of this Mystical Age that Philip somehow knew. If Philip were to include this to the research papers, the government and Secret Organizations will hunt down weak ability user or take advantage of them to gather their body materials for making Magic Items
So, for now, he set aside the Magic Staff until he'll use it later or in the far future
"C'mon, let's finish this research... We're almost done"
"Alright..."
Justine smiled. She felt relieved that they are almost done. They would then spend time together and with the others. Then, she diligently helped Philip willingly so that they would efficiently finish the research paper
Two days later, Philip has completed the research paper and it consists of at least 2000 pages. He saved the files to his personal computer and he requested a printer from Jude and of course, he was delivered a high-end printer that can print a filled one page paper in just a second. So, Philip would able to print all papers in approximately 30 minutes
He then requested for the research papers to be book binded. Since the book will be very thick, the research was divided into four volumes. He made a total of ten sets just in case. After several hours, he set aside the research books for now and thought of who should he give the books to, so they can spread the knowledge throughout the leaders and experts around the world properly
He then turned around and saw Justine's smiling face
"We did it!"
Justine happily celebrated
"Yes, we did!"
Philip replied with a smile
"Now we take a break and spend time together"
Philip suggested that made Justine blush. It's already night time and they decided to take a break, rest, and sleep. Or they could have fun in the night if they chose to
They both took a bath separately to wash away fhe fatigue and for some reason, Justine was nervous. Eventually, they both went to bed then played mobile games, of course they dominated once again. Game experts were once again confused as they tried to analyze the players' game sense and knowledge
Then, deep in the night, they decided to sleep. Lights were off and little to no light illuminated the room as a cool breeze circulated around the room
Before both of them fell asleep, Justine became more aggressive and hugged Philip head on. She burrowed her head on Philip's chest and he hugged her back
Justine lifted her head and placed her head closer to Philip's. Their cheeks started to touch and little by little, Justine used her lips to kiss his cheeks
Philip thought twice at what he should do since he was confused and scared. His chest became hot and he felt a void form in his non-existent heart
Eventually, he decided to return the gesture because he thought that it would feel well
'If she wants to do this, then I should reciprocate back and not reject her'
That was Philip's thought process
He started to shift his head until both of their lips touched. They spent a decently sweet time with their mouths and tongues
Until they enjoyed that night as it goes deeper and deeper. Of course, it was quiet because Justine was avoiding to make a noise. A part of the mansion looked pink as love flies to the air and reached towards the being floating casually in the sky while laying down and looking at the stars
It was Goddess Sai
For the past eight days, she has been watching Philip's experimentations and she was quite intrigued. Even though she was watching and observing, Philip was aware of her presence and didn't mind it. In fact, he wanted Sai to see his work. Sai then found out Philip's motive and kept on watching
"The magic system in my world is different to this world... Is that supposed to happen or this world is an exception?"
Sai thought deeply because she has been very amused to Earth
"What should I do with my world? It's already on the brink of destruction and the summoned hero refuses to come that he broke the Summoning Law... Should I leave it and live here with Alucard? That sounds amazing..."
Sai coontemplated until she made a decision and smiled. She will stay on Earth and live with Alucard. At this moment, she has become a great asset for Philip and she may be able to change something on Earth or in the Fate Timeline
She then turned her head and looked towards Philip's room. She didn't dare look past the roof but she knows what was happening inside. She blushed while having dead eyes
"Bah!"
Sai scoffed and flew back to Alucard's room. She landed next to Alucard in a lying position, where Alucard is also sleeping. She hugged him from the side and slept
Alucard felt Sai's arrival and wrapped his arm around her body and continued to sleep
Meanwhile, Camille is also sleeping while two Cursed Energies were swirling around each other in a violent manner, but that didn't disturb Camille. Vanessa also took a rest from her tests on the mysterious vials. She has been working very hard and deserves the rest
Kyouko is still in the room and it's currently unknown what she has been doing. Natsuki and Natsume slept soundly while Natsu continues to drink her wine in the Lounge Area while looking outside the window towards the sky
Mei'er slept on her flower bed and Bea has been deciphering the One-paged Book this entire time without sleeping. She still looked the same after two weeks
Jude continued to cultivate his Sword Energy and Sword Potential to reach the Sword Demigod Stage to pursue his goal
Mathilda is currently sleeping soundly while having a dream with the other consciousness inside of her and having a heart to heart talk like Philip ordered them to. The Golden Retriever Puppy, Merry, is lying down next to Mathilda and a third eye opened on her forehead as a watch out
