Chereads / Grey - Of Black and White / Chapter 29 - Second Time

Chapter 29 - Second Time

As Zanno's training progressed and he continued to delve deeper into the mysteries of the prototype Gear, an expected change occurred. The once metallic silver exterior of the prototype Gear, crafted by the Defense Ministry, gradually transformed, taking on the flat grey hue reminiscent of the Gear he had previously adorned.

This alteration in color caught the attention of both Zanno and Sergeant Lysara. They observed the transformation with curiosity, realizing that the prototype Gear was adapting and aligning itself with Zanno's unique magical essence and affinity.

「 Sargeant Lysara 」

"Zanno, it seems that the prototype Gear is resonating with your magic and finally adapting."

"The change in color signifies a deeper connection between you and the Gear."

"This is what we were waiting for."

"It shows that the Gear is becoming attuned to your true magical energy."

"The only mystery right now is..."

"What kind of magical energy exudes a grey aura?"

Zanno examined the newly transformed Gear, a mixture of awe and excitement coursing through him. He understood that this change signified a significant milestone in his training, marking the fusion of his own magical abilities with the prototype Gear's potential.

"This transformation means that the Gear is adapting to your unique magical signature, amplifying and harmonizing with your powers."

"It will enable you to unlock even greater capabilities and wield its full potential."

Zanno nodded, his eyes gleaming with determination. The transformation of the prototype Gear affirmed his progress and growth as a Gear owner. He could sense the immense possibilities that lay ahead, knowing that the Gear's adaptation to his magical energy would unlock new realms of power and mastery.

「 Zanno 」

"Sergeant Lysara, I'm ready to explore the depths of this newfound connection."

"With the Gear attuned to my magical essence, I can feel its resonance within me."

"I'm eager to unlock its full potential and discover what lies beyond."

Sergeant Lysara smiled, her gaze filled with pride and excitement for Zanno's journey.

「 Sargeant Lysara 」

"That's the spirit, Zanno!"

"Embrace this transformation and continue pushing your limits."

"With the Gear adapting to you, the possibilities are boundless."

"Remember, your connection with the Gear is not just about its physical enhancements."

"It's about the synergy between your own abilities and the magical energies it channels."

"Trust in yourself and let your intuition guide you."

Zanno took a deep breath, fully embracing the weight of the responsibility placed upon him. With the prototype Gear's transformation, he understood that he was on the cusp of something extraordinary. The journey ahead would demand perseverance, courage, and unwavering dedication.

「 Zanno 」

"I won't disappoint you, Sergeant Lysara."

"I'll push myself further than ever before, exploring the depths of this connection."

"Together, we will unlock the true potential of the prototype Gear and fulfill our mission to protect and defend."

Sergeant Lysara nodded her expression a mix of trust and encouragement.

「 Sargeant Lysara 」

"I have no doubt, Zanno."

"Your determination and resilience will carry you far."

"Remember, I am here to guide you every step of the way."

"Together, we will forge a legacy that will inspire generations to come."

「 Zanno 」

"I guess there is one thing left to do."

「 Sargeant Lysara 」

"Yes... I believe it is time to fully activate your prototype Gear."

"Be here at 0800 tomorrow and don't forget to bring your eidolon helm with you."

"We will unravel your mysterious magical energy even further once we activate your Gear."

「 Zanno 」

"Understood, Mam!"

「 Sargeant Lysara 」

"See you tomorrow."

"Dismissed."

Zanno left the training arena that day, his mind racing with anticipation for the next phase of his training. The prospect of activating his prototype Gear and unlocking its full potential filled him with excitement. He knew that the process would bring him closer to understanding the depths of his own magical energy and the true capabilities of the Gear.

As the sun set on the horizon, Zanno prepared himself mentally for the challenges that lay ahead. He meticulously cleaned and inspected his eidolon helm, ensuring it was in perfect condition for the activation process. The helm was a crucial component that would facilitate the connection between Zanno and the prototype Gear, enabling them to synchronize their energies and amplify their abilities.

「 Zanno 」

"Hey Mom..."

"Are you there?"

「 Olivia 」

"I am always here, my son."

「 Zanno 」

"Something just hit me."

「 Olivia 」

"What is it?"

「 Zanno 」

"I don't really need the helm to activate my Gear, do I?"

"Since you are always here with me."

"Am I right?"

「 Olivia 」

"You are able to withstand an eidolon magical pressure because your current vehicle contains two souls."

"The stress is divided equally, making it bearable."

"For others, they need to transfer it to another medium."

"That is why the helm is needed."

「 Zanno 」

"Now it makes sense."

"But what about the other eidolons that I summoned before."

"During the ritual in the Summoning Chamber?"

"Why were there so many?"

「 Olivia 」

"I am sorry my son."

"Looks like I don't have the answer to that question."

「 Zanno 」

"Babah..."

"You there?"

「 Babah 」

"I am curious too..."

"Fourteen eidolons are way too many if you ask me."

"Including Mom, that makes it fifteen."

「 Zanno 」

"Fifteen eidolons."

"If two souls are needed to bear an eidolon, that makes it..."

"30 souls to safely retain them?"

「 Babah 」

"Either that..."

"Or you need fourteen helms!"

"Hehe."

「 Zanno 」

"Or... Fourteen different Gear parts."

Zanno and Babah were silent after the idea struck. Having more eidolons will definitely enhance his magical aptitude and help him regulate the many different aspects of his Gear with ease.

Zanno's mind raced with possibilities as he contemplated the idea of having multiple Gear parts, each attuned to a different eidolon. The thought of harnessing the power of multiple eidolons simultaneously filled him with excitement and curiosity. If each Gear part could harmonize with a specific eidolon, it would allow him to access a diverse array of magical abilities and strengths.

"Babah, imagine the possibilities."

"With different Gear parts attuned to each eidolon, I could tap into their unique powers and combine them seamlessly."

"It would give me a level of versatility and adaptability, unlike anything I've experienced before."

「 Babah 」

"Indeed, Zanno."

"Each eidolon possesses its own distinct abilities and attributes."

"With multiple eidolons, you would be able to draw upon their strengths and create a formidable arsenal of magical prowess."

「 Olivia 」

"But we must proceed with caution, my son."

"Balancing and synchronizing the energies of multiple eidolons could be a formidable challenge."

"We must ensure that you can handle their combined magical pressure without overwhelming yourself."

Zanno nodded, acknowledging the importance of maintaining control and balance amidst the potential influx of power.

「 Zanno 」

"You're right, Mom."

"It won't be an easy task."

"However, I believe that with careful training and guidance, I can learn to harmonize with multiple eidolons and wield their collective strength effectively."

"It's a path worth exploring."

Zanno's path ahead would be filled with challenges and discoveries, as he sought to harness the power of multiple eidolons through carefully attuned Gear parts. With each step, he inched closer to unlocking the full extent of his magical abilities and forging a legacy that would inspire generations to come.
