Blake was watching Mei's action carefully, although he was totally oblivious to what she was looking at, and it wasn't until a couple of minutes had passed that Mei seemed to come back to reality while you could see that her brows were slightly furrowed and she began to speak for herself.
"They are in perfect harmony, both the essence drop and the elemental core don't interfere with each other, each one absorbs a significant amount of their respective energy, but there doesn't seem to be any problem during that whole process…" Mei rested her head on her hand as more of what was on her mind poured out of her. "Though major Marjorie and Shino told me, it's just as amazing to see this myself, I don't know how it will all play out, though there are no negative effects right now, the future remains uncertain, especially since it has to pay attention when it advances from one kingdom to another, it is even possible that the transformations destabilize the balance that exists…"
Mei was really lost in her own thoughts, those words were something that she understood perfectly, but in Blake's case, he was getting a little nervous thinking about all those possibilities that she was mentioning, but before he went any further, Blake heard Mei's voice addressing him again.
"Use that ability that makes you disappear." Mei's voice seemed to be very authoritative and made Blake have no choice but to accept what was happening to him.
He only needed a second to activate Shadowless and enter that state where he was practically invisible, he stood in the same place since he believed that there was no point in moving, so he was able to continue to see Mei's expressions.
She had closed her eyes again, now she was using rök to see everything around her. A large cluster of runes from the Sharance tree appeared in front of her, she had already felt that the moment she entered the tree, so she didn't pay much attention to it.
Mei was also aware that Blake hadn't moved after turning invisible since her senses didn't detect any movement or sound in the space around her, but what puzzled her the most was that she couldn't notice any strange phenomena or clusters of runes in the place where Blake should be, causing her to prove that was true as well.
Earlier, during Blake and Ragna's match, Mei had been trying to guess what exactly Blake's affinity was, her options having been greatly reduced to the point where she believed he had an affinity for the space element or even some special physique related to it already that people with this affinity were incredibly rare.
But even if it was that, she would have been able to detect the slightest movement or phenomenon of the space element runes when he used that ability, but now, it was undeniable that it was nothing like that.
"Absolutely nothing... No elements are reacting, how is this even possible?" Mei had her pensive expression again, it seemed that she had already checked enough, besides that Blake stopped hiding since he felt that his runic energy was not going to resist too much in that state.
"Would that be enough?" Blake asked that question, first of all, to find out if he wasn't going to be subjected to some other test or investigation, besides that he wanted to see if Mei was simply ignoring his existence or not, but it was then that she also started talking.
"Yes, everything is clear to me now... I guess I owe you an apology for all this." Blake didn't think much about it, he wouldn't say that it was very comfortable for him that someone investigates what was inside him, but nothing bad happened to him either, so he only accepted her apology while continuing to listen to her. "So, indeed, you are both a mage and a runic, plus you seem to have an affinity for some unknown element... Did you fall from the sky, boy?"
Blake felt strange because, instead of calling him a freak or monster, Mei used those words to try to describe his weirdness, although it was also something curious since Blake felt like he had fallen from the sky once, even though he couldn't remember.
"I need you to watch me carefully." The words that Mei said at that moment were a bit strange, but Blake did exactly that to later see how Mei stood up and moved away a bit to do what she had in mind.
Only a few seconds had passed since then, but in less than a breath, Mei was already being covered by a characteristic green aura that later became visible as a large number of runes of the water element quickly accumulated in her hands to the point that some small torrents of water were generated in them.
That was already unique enough, even though Blake was already quite used to seeing runic abilities and spells, he still felt the same curiosity as his first time, and when he thought that Mei would make use of the ability she was displaying, he realized that another change was taking place.
Those torrents in Mei's hands now began to be covered by runes of the wind element to later give off an incredible coldness as little by little they froze to the point that you could see how the humidity in the air condensed, forming some mist around her, but more importantly, as the water was freezing, it was also taking the shape of what seemed to be a pair of claws that perfectly covered Mei's hands.
Now it could be said that her hands had become a weapon, just by seeing that, in addition to the cold around her, anyone would feel a chill running down their spine, but in Blake's case that was the opposite, he was actually quite excited since that voice that he liked to hear in these situations had appeared.
