"Don't look at me like that. I'm just curious about how far your abilities can go."
"Do you realize you can make us perform even beyond our own capabilities?" Skye asked.
Malacai frowned upon hearing her words.
"That should be impossible. It can optimize your actions, yes, but performing beyond your capabilities? No way."
Skye's lips turned upward into a grin. "Well, I'm not good with words. That's not exactly what I mean."
"For example, you could go to the street and order someone to run nonstop for sixty minutes. What will happen?"
Seeing Malacai's frown, Nerissa answered for him.
"The man will then run for sixty minutes, but afterward, he will be so exhausted that he could get knocked out, or worse, he might die in the middle of it."
"MHmm… that's what I mean. We humans tend not to focus entirely on our tasks."
"We even have terms like 'in the zone' for people who can completely focus on one singular task."
