When Mia returned to the Academy, she immediately sought Matt.
"I'm back. Let's hurry the creation of that artifact, Student Zen." She said. She found him at the place where they were making the artifact.
Matt nodded to her. "Look at this. You haven't lasted long outside, but I think I've come up with something pretty cool these days." He said and passed her some stuff he had managed to research.
Mia Holmer read it and frowned. "This is pretty amazing, Zen. If it can be done, it would improve creation by a good percentage. How did you come up with it?" she asked in shock, and Matt shrugged.
"Well, thinking is one of the things I'm best at." He replied and walked towards her.
"There are some urgent things I need to do. So I'll be on my way. I'll come by tomorrow so we can stay on this." Matt said and left without another word.
A short time later, he got to his room and locked himself in his bedroom.
