Adam's awakening will be monumental, not just because of the A-Rank Essence Stone, but because of his meticulous preparation, his nano-machines, and his rare affinities. Here's how it would work in detail:
---
Adam Sen – Awakening (Half-Step S-Rank)
1. Perfect Foundation – The Absolute Peak
Adam maximized his unawakened human potential before his awakening, meaning that every attribute (strength, speed, endurance, agility, intelligence, reaction time, etc.) was already at the absolute peak of what a human could achieve.
Normally, awakenings multiply an individual's current attributes based on their talent.
Adam's foundation is already at the limit, so his A-Rank awakening doesn't just boost him, it elevates him to near-S-Rank immediately.
His body, conditioned to handle peak stress and efficiency, can fully utilize and control the raw power of an A-Rank awakening without instability.
Result: Adam awakens at A-Rank+, a Half-Step into S-Rank, stronger than any other A-Rank, fully capable of fighting on par with S-Ranks.

2. Mana – Unlimited Source, Adaptive Circulation
Thanks to Awà's guidance, Adam's body has been subtly trained to optimize mana absorption and circulation, making his reserves massive after awakening.
Breathwork Training: His mana veins and pathways are wider and more refined, allowing seamless flow and enhanced regeneration.
Cellular Mana Storage: His entire body stores mana, making every cell a battery, vastly increasing his reserves.
Nano-Machine Energy Absorption: The nano-machines allow him to absorb mana from the environment, incoming or nearby attacks, and living beings, making his effective mana pool limitless.
Space & Healing Affinity (No Rank Limit): Unlike other Hunters, his affinities scale purely on how much mana he invests into them, making their potential limitless.
Result: Adam's mana is not just vast, it is self-sustaining, ensuring he never runs out of energy unless his body is fully destroyed.

3. Space & Healing Affinity (Reversal & Mastery)
Adam's nano-machines scanned everything he encountered before awakening, giving him instant knowledge of how the world's abilities function. Among those, two affinities shaped his awakening:
A. Space Affinity (Absolute Manipulation)
Unlike others who use space magic for limited teleportation or barriers, Adam's understanding of spatial forces is unrestricted.
He does not bend space, he dominates it.
He can compress, fold, cut, and even erase space, warping reality itself.
Since his space affinity has no rank, the effectiveness depends entirely on his mana control and reserves, which are both effectively boundless.
B. Healing Affinity
Adam does not just heal flesh, he understands the healing mechanisms of the body and soul at their core.
Reversal Ability: Instead of healing, he can invert the effect to induce decay, entropy, and spiritual corrosion.
Can attack both body and soul directly, making it extremely dangerous even for S-Ranks.
The more mana he invests, the stronger the effect, allowing him to instantly rot flesh, shatter nerves, or drain an opponent's life force.
Can still use healing normally as the default state.
But with intention? He's a Reaper.
Result: Adam's Space and healing abilities are not bound by rank, meaning their potential scales infinitely. No S-Rank Hunter will have a fixed advantage over him.

4. Combat Growth & Execution
Since his nano-machines have scanned and recorded the combat styles of hunters, monsters, and artifacts, he has instant access to refined battle techniques.
Weapon Adaptability: If he touches a weapon or sees it in action, he can instantly optimize his own technique for it.
Body Optimization: Can adjust his muscle fiber density, reflex speed, and movement efficiency based on the enemy's fighting style.
Unparalleled Combat Prediction: His reaction speed is already at peak human limits, and now enhanced with mana perception, making it almost impossible to catch him off guard.
Result: Adam doesn't just get stronger, he becomes impossibly efficient, evolving in real-time mid-battle.

5. Awakening Impact & Final Verdict
The moment Adam touches the A-Rank Giant Essence Stone, Awà hijacks the awakening process, ensuring a flawless transformation.
Massive Aura Burst: The sheer power surge destroys the auction stage, causing high-ranked Hunters to sense his awakening from miles away.
Instant Mastery: He gains full awareness and control of his abilities without needing an adjustment period.
New Tier of Existence: Though technically A-Rank, he is a Half-Step into S-Rank, capable of fighting and even surpassing lower S-Ranks.
Final Power Classification:
Strength, Speed, Agility, Endurance: Peak A-Rank+ (Half-Step S-Rank)
Mana Reserves: Effectively limitless
Space Affinity: Rankless (Scales with mana)
Healing/Decay Affinity: Rankless (Scales with mana, default state = healing)
Combat Mastery: Instant adaptability and optimization
Adam doesn't just awaken, he ascends. From this point forward, he is no longer just another human.
He is a monarch in making.

Here's this for those who want to understand his scaling, currently Adam is unkillable, and he can just choose to use the nano machines to boost his musles and reach High S rank in strength, if we add the dna Awà got from the Giant Stone, he can throw hands easily with the National Levels.
Let's not forget his copy ability, bro is broken.
But he won't use all of these boost everytime as that would become boring and he won't enjoy it.
It's like hacking a game and obtaining all the items and stats, it becomes boring.
With nano machines he is bound to be OP nonetheless.
This is why the Overpowered tag is there.
