Moments later, at the notification of Instructor Xu, a male school doctor nearby also arrived and examined the two Gear children.
"It's not because of an injury; both bodies are indeed fixed in combination. The inability to generate energy through rotation must be related to other issues. The specific problem cannot be discerned at this moment. We may need more advanced equipment for further examination."
"Additionally, if they cannot efficiently produce energy for an extended period, these two Gear children may have a shorter lifespan compared to regular Gear children and could die soon," the school doctor concluded.
"However... it's strange that both Gear children behave identically."
Dean Miao sighed; without the ability to fly or generate energy, the Gear children's chances of survival in the wild were slim to none, suggesting that other means of dealing with them might be necessary.
"Both Gear children exhibit such behavior because they were born together, similar to the concept of 'twins'."
Fang Yuan had been standing by, watching in silence. After the school doctor finished the examination, Fang Yuan finally spoke up. With his superpower of Emotion Synchrony, he made a preliminary judgment.
"Twins?" The school doctor also felt this explanation was plausible.
"The inability to generate energy through normal gear engagement may be due to interference from Thought Waves," Fang Yuan said.
Thought Wave interference...
At this point, Dean Miao, Instructor Xu, and the school doctor all showed puzzled expressions and looked at Fang Yuan.
"To be specific, they might be harboring an Unawakened power within them that they can't control very well, leading to certain defects in their bodies. This power... I suspect it may be a superpower attribute's Awakened power. So as long as we guide them to harness this power properly, they should be able to return to normal."
Fang Yuan said calmly. Hearing his explanation, the two Gear children looked at Fang Yuan, their expression gradually turning plaintive.
"How do you know this?" Dean Miao asked curiously.
"Because I have captured a similar Pokemon before." Fang Yuan took out the Poké Ball of the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster.
As the Poké Ball was pressed, a flash of red light revealed the UFO-shaped figure of the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster outside. Upon its arrival, the monster's red eyes locked onto the two Gear children, with all four gazes meeting.
Possibly due to being of the same kind, the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster emitted a strong wave that resonated with the two Gear children, and it too sensed something unusual about them.
"Mmmmmm~~"
"Mmmmmm~~~~"
The two Gear children began to sway, reaching out for help from the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster.
"Gurululu~~" Startled at first, the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster understood after Fang Yuan nodded at it. It moved forward slightly. Although its red eyes appeared cold, they conveyed warmth, assuring the two Gear children not to worry, that everything was alright with it there to protect them.
"Mmmmmm~~"
"Mmmmmm~~~~"
Perhaps finding solace in the presence of the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster, the two Gear children wanted to get closer but were unable to fly due to their special body structures, making even normal movement difficult for them.
The Little Magnetic Monster at least used magnets to support itself and move about, but these two Gear children could only roll, and if they weren't careful, they would fall and their gears would split apart... leaving four lonely gears lying on the ground.
The Self-detonating Magnetic Monster fell silent for a moment, then unleashed the Electromagnetic Hovering Technique. As the Gear children were Steel-type Spirits, they easily began to fly under the influence of the monster's magnetic force.
Bathed in the Magnetic Monster's magnetic field, the two Gear children showed excited expressions and grew even closer to the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster.
"Hmm..." Witnessing this scene, Fang Yuan's expression was one of realization. He turned to Dean Miao and said:
"How about this? Let me take care of the two Gear children for a while to see if I can restore them to normal."
Fang Yuan then looked at the two Gear children, sensing that their situation might be similar to that of the Little Magnetic Monster he knew before, which moved him. With Fang Yuan's knowledge of the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster, he was certain that it would not want to see the two Gear children suffer a terrible fate.
"Do you want to capture them?"
Dean Miao asked in surprise. He had no particular objections, but since Fang Yuan was still a student, simply transferring the Gear children to him was against protocol.
"Not capture," Fang Yuan clarified, understanding the predicament. In order to assure Dean Miao that the Gear children could be safely entrusted to him, he presented another form of identification, saying:
"Let me reintroduce myself. Here is my credential."
"I am currently a Senior Elf Researcher affiliated with the Trainer Association and have my own research institute."
As Fang Yuan finished speaking, the surroundings fell silent. Dean Miao stared at the credential, his brain still processing the information.
A Senior Researcher...??!!
Fang Yuan's identity as a Senior Researcher was known to very few people and had not been widely publicized.
Dean Miao of the First Police School certainly wasn't aware, and as for the status of a Senior Researcher, it held a position even above that of a Master Level Trainer and was considered a major figure. Being a Senior Researcher was only one step away from the highest academic title in the Elf Domain, the Top Researcher.
Researchers who achieve the status of a Senior Researcher are core figures in their provincial research fields, and every time they enter a Secret location to conduct research, they can request protection from a Master Level Trainer or a professional team.
