Chapter 21 - Enhancements

"Argh!!" Steve screamed in pain as blue veins began forming on his body. 

As it did so, the yellow lines on the suit slowly turned blue. The pain didn't last long before it ended. 

However, he could feel a whole new level of power within him. He felt capable of anything but even so he could also feel that he had yet to truly tap into the potential of the suit. 

"It synchronizes with the user?" Steve asked surprised. 

He was the one who created it but even he didn't know much about it since he was walking on unknown grounds here. 

The threads and the leather used in creating the suit may have once being normal materials but he had infused so much of his mana into them that they could be considered magic materials. 

He has also let them soak in the mana from crushed mana stones which meant that the end product was would be more powerful than he predicts. 

"I should be using around 30% of the suit's ability, is this how powerful a rank III is" Steve asked as he looked at his hands. 

As a craftsman and future business man, Steve moved to the table to document all of his observations, however the moment he took a step, he found himself planted into the wall. 

"Fuck!!" he shouted in pain from the blunt trauma. 

He wasn't actually hurt at all from such a mighty hit, looking at the wall before him. He could see a Steve-shaped dent in the wall. 

"Some adjustments need to be made as well" He noted as he pulled slot and as gently as he could began walking towards the now destroyed table. 

"Wait if it uses mana then mana output should control how much strength I have right" Steve theoried as he immediately that into practice. 

In truth he could feel a small part of his mana being drawn by the suit constantly. It was the minimum requirement to maintain it. 

Steve immediately began to reduce the amount of mana it absorbed as the strength he felt began to reduce slowly. 

"That means more mana equals to more strength, but more doesn't always mean better" Steve said as he began walking around the basement. 

Even if it was just walking, he was still almost a blur as he paced back and forth around the basement. 

Soon he came to a complete stop as he picked up the pen and gently began to write down each and every single one of his observations. 

Using his ability [Architect's Touch], the mana within the area came under his complete control as he utilized this new property he had discovered to continue testing the suit. 

He moved from simply walking to short sprints then complete 3D combat simulation. 

He used everything and every surface his hands or leg could come across as a surface to push off of to create more kinetic force, turning himself into a human ping pong ball. 

Hours passed slowly but Steve was still at it, using the suit for everything he could think off. 

Turns out even when deactivated, the suit still enhanced his physical strength, speed and durability immensely. He couldn't tell exactly how much since he didn't have the best equipment to test it out with.
