In the clock shop late at night:
"I see. That kid practiced more than a hundred thousand times over these past days. His determination is impressive."
In the clock shop, blonde Hermes had his foot propped on Ye’s work table, playing with Ye Qingxuan’s aether ball. He whistled at the ball, and the quiet aether ball lit up. The clear crystal reflected the candlelight, displaying the shadows of complicated runes and images on the wall.
If measuring aether was its most common usage, then this was the aether ball’s most valuable ability.
The music score crystallized when it recorded every note, and melody interacted with the ball. It could display it as data and help the user compare notes, remove white noise, increase resonance with aether to help one reach the standard.
But Ye Qingxuan had never once activated it, so he had never experienced the most helpful tool for other students.
