[Eon's POV: ]
"Wait… but are mass-produced Mana clothes even possible? Like we need that certain person's Mana to make the clothes react to that kind of change, no?"
"Mass produced Mana clothing…"
"The idea sounds nice Tia. But, I don't know if it's even possible to do so or not."
"It's possible."
Everyone looked towards me as soon as I said that with a smile on my face. An excited one that only Uriel, Carla, Alf, and Chry were familiar with.
"It is most certainly possible."
These people were seeing this smile for perhaps the first time but, they will remember it after today. I knew that much.
[[ Master is excited~! Hehehehe~! Something biiiiiiiiig is going to happen~! ]]
Celes knew it as well, and, after seeing this smile, the way the look in their eyes changed was quite a fun sight to me.
'I was looking for a good enough idea to mix in my own and, this unexpectedly great one from Titania wasn't something I was expecting. In fact, I had thought about what she had just said a while back, but, I never got the chance to actually go about it.'
But now that we have this chance…
'White crack.'
-Oooooooooooong!
I took out a certain rock from my storage space and the people here, aside from a few of them, were all able to recognize it clearly.
"A Polyaesterin? How is this related to the Mana clothing?"
It was a common material that possessed many unique properties and was used in artifact creation in some of the commercial fields however, there was one thing that the world did not know about yet about this certain material.
"Watch this."
I channeled some of my Aura and covered the rock in it. And, after that, with a little force, I shattered the rock in my hand and crushed it into a fine powder.
The newly created power reacted to the Aura and, with precise control of my Mana, I molded the dust of the material into something like a string.
"He has an unbelievable Aura control…"
"It's better than mine. I know that much. And one of the best I have ever seen."
Captain Alpha and Carla were awestruck by the way I handled my Aura, a power that was destructive in nature and not something that one usually used for delicate works like thread creation.
It was a usual sight to Uriel, and Carla as well but she is envious every time she sees me do something like this.
'She trains her Aura control day and night just to achieve this finesse even though I have told her multiple times the true nature of her Aura is based on wildness rather than this kind of delicate thing.'
But she just doesn't listen to me… proof that I was successful in teaching her a few good things.
"What the usual Mana clothing is made of is that person's own Mana, or Aura like other energies in some cases.
The workshops use Plokium, a certain mineral that could turn one's energy into a physical thread format. However, there are many other natural materials that could produce a similar kind of conductivity when it comes to Mana of any nature.
I found out about this one day when I accidentally came across a (Green-eyed Kalpic Ape) doing something-"
"Where the fuck did you see a creature like that?! Aren't they almost gone extinct?!"
Even before I could finish what I was saying, Captain Alpha exclaimed again and attracted everyone's attention.
They all did not know what creature I was talking about but this person knew this near extinct ape species. He really knew about a lot of things considering he wasn't a native of this world.
"It is confidential so I won't say the exact location but just know that I saw it, there was a group of them in fact but this one certain ape was doing something very… unique on its own.
It was using Polyaesterin to break Mana rocks…
At first glance, I thought he was doing it to spark fire or something but that wasn't the case.
He was doing something else. Something unique. And I was fascinated by this wonder of nature so, I stayed there even though I knew being near a group of (Indigo) ranked creatures is no less than courting death myself.
It looked fun and I was mesmerized so I stayed there, and, what I saw then surpassed me even more."
Uriel knew full well I was talking about one of my experiences in the forbidden great forest so she knew even though this comical thing sounded no more than a fantasy, just like all the other strange things of that forest, this story was also very much a possible account of my hellish days in that place.
"The creature was crashing one rock with the other, after which, he gathered the dust that was created at the end of his grinding, and, he mixed the dust in some kind of tree sap, spread it all over the ground over a sheet of leaves, and long after that, this mystical mixture he had spread all across the place was turned into a silk-like, though translucent, material that was so strange and unique that… Its appearance which seemed to be made of pure gold, heavy looking but, so light that it waved with the gentle winds of the surrounding, just settled down in my mind...
It was one of the most fascinating experiences of my life."
I paused for a moment and sighed weakly before looking back at them and continuing my little story.
"Sometime after that incident, when I had the chance to recreate the happenings of that time, I tried doing the same things that the creature had done, however, I did not get the same results even after I tried mixing in all the tree saps that I was familiar with or could find in that same vicinity.
However, I did not get the same results as that creature.
I experimented and tried different things, and that was my first and last encounter with those creatures so, I also couldn't find them even though I tried searching for them with different means.
In the end, I asked my late teacher, the person who taught me most of what I know today, and, at that question… she laughed with a smirk on her face, and told me how I was looking at the simple behavior of a beast with the logic and reasoning of a human.
She advised me I just had to change my perspective and the answer would reveal itself… so, I did just that, let go of all the logic and reasoning I had and continued experimenting with things that weren't even remotely related to each other like some animal trying to fulfill its pure curiosity with whatever is present before them.
And at the end of my great endeavors, I found out a very fascinating fact."
The dust in my hands that was turned into a thread, weaved itself together and became something resembling a small piece of cloth.
It was a simple-looking brown fabric, however, when I took out a strange rock and a Mana crystal from my storage space and touched them to this cloth, it changed its color, texture, and, even the structure it was already weaved in.
"The Polyaesterin has a high conductivity to Mana when turned into a fine powder and it reacts to a certain kind of energy frequency, as well as some foreign substances invisible to one's eyes to create a stable fabric which could replicate the same effects as the Mana clothings… holy Mother Nature… that's a revolutionary discovery Lucifer!"
Med screamed and stood up while slamming her hands on the table with her eyes wide open, and, though confused, everyone else was surprised as well.
However, there was no need for them to be so surprised.
"There's a big catch here Med. So sit down and listen to me."
The rock in my hand that was the main catalyst, wasn't something that we could find just anywhere.
"Procuring a large amount of Polyaesterin would be easy, I know, however, this catalysis is an alloy created with Alkalin crystals, Siiicon, and the radioactive substance Thoughtium.
Turns out the Green-eyed Kalpic apes are creatures with the ability to produce, process, and manipulate substances that are deadly to many other kinds.
Stabilizing this metal is no simple task and turning it into an alloy that is safe to touch like this is no simple task as well.
I was lucky I had my master back then and she was somehow able to find out the exact proportions of the materials required for the creation of this thing so, this is kind of a gift to me from her.
Recreating this would not be as easy of a task as you think."
I stored back the unique rock and continued looking at the others, at my friend Med, who suddenly had a heartbroken expression.
She had just seen something that was practically revolutionary for this entire world however, now I was telling her it wasn't possible to actually create this thing.
She was now confused as to why I might have even told her about all this if there was no way to do it in the first place. But, these worries were unnecessary as well.
"I don't mean creating something similar to Mana clothes would be impossible though."
I never meant it in that way.
Uriel knew if I was telling them something so elaborate, there would undoubtedly be some reason behind it.
And, there was one this time as well.
"What I showed you were the things I found out through my own curious experiments. What I concluded through that, and what I was ultimately able to produce with the results of these base experiments, is this."
I took out a unique, large, black metallic box from my storage space next and since there was no space on the dining table anymore, I took out a table as well and put the box right behind where I was sitting.
"You are the first people to see this invention after the person that owns it right now. Something that will most certainly change the way the world perceives many things in the future.
I call it (GKA-Polymer synthesizer). And putting it in simple words, this Artifact of magic engineering is able to produce some natural polymers possessing different natures with the use of materials like Polyaesterin. Certainly something that is a state secret, however, also something that is approved by the three global councils and the headmaster so using it secretly won't actually cause any great threat."
It will bring world-changing changes when it is introduced to the world however, we were planning for that to happen only after two to three years.
It was a new technology that would change many things that the world knew about and, this was one of the inventions I had created with my master, so it was obviously something very special to me.
'Very special...'
It will be helpful in many fields and, the textile industry would be one of them. Though, the possibility that it will replace the traditional artisans is there, we will have to make sure this technology is implemented properly so that we can avoid many negative things that had taken my previous world into a dark corner.
'We will do that much, but… for now, what we need to do here is simple.'
I looked at everyone's surpassed expressions that were full of questions and doubts, however, there weren't many answers I had for their questions.
They didn't need to know all these things just yet.
"Okay, so, Med. My plan for the shop was something like this…"
The primary means of production was introduced, and the silence had shrouded the dining room along with it. However, they were taking all this too seriously.
There was nothing to worry about all of these little things~.
