"Wait, I have something to try on first," said Akira, stopping Haruka from serving the food.
"What is it?"
"It's in the books I am reading," said Akira. "I found some clues on how to manipulate the mana, but I don't know what it leads to."
"Is...is it risky?"
"I don't know. I have to give it a try. If the aliens responsible for this system suddenly show up and control the system, we will become their slaves, so I want to try it as quickly as possible."
Haruka misunderstood. She believed that Akira knew about the future, and in that future, he must have tried this already. So she just let him do it.
"Ok," she said, which surprised Akira a lot. He stimulated all kinds of scenarios to change her mind into agreeing, but here she was, agreeing very easily.
Not to waste another moment, Akira sat down in a lotus position. He could easily identify mana from other energies flowing in his body now, so he directed the mana toward his root chakra.
