Berger placed his hands on Adam's back and closed his eyes. He was infusing his mana into the youth to do a thorough check-up. A few moments later, he opened his eyes and was very surprised.
He looked at Valerian and then at Adam, nodding. "It is indeed as you mentioned. Your mana reserves seemed to have increased exponentially. Furthermore, based on my deductions, I believe that your mana replenishment rate will also receive a great boost."
Hearing Berger's evaluation, Adam gulped. "Doesn't that mean…"
"Yes." Berger nodded as he smoked from his pipe. "Technically, your talent for magic has been elevated."
"Is that even possible?!" Adam asked incredulously as he shot to his feet.
"In extremely rare instances, yes," Berger explained patiently. "It is usually the familiar's affinity with talent that is elevated after a connection is formed with a Magus. But in your case, it's the opposite. Clearly, the little fellow has a very high talent for magic."
