Improving magic crest

For the last seven months I have been cooped up in the library. What at first was tedious study eventually became quite interesting. I know for sure I won't dedicate myself to study bio-alchemy, but I definitely need to learn a lot more about this.

There are just so many possibilities, I have already created one new spell for my magic crest which is quite op. I called it <Patecatl> based on the Aztec god of medicine and healing. The spell creates a small area around me in with injuries are healed instantly by converting mana in the environment into Od, however this Od is pre-programmed to heal injuries automatically.

If you are wondering why I chose an Aztec god, well it is actually because their gods' divinities are actually pretty creative. I mean the guys have a god of rain, a god of summer and flowers, they even have a god of dawns.

Most of this gods gave me ideas for spells and, while maybe not all are actually possible to get done, I am confident in making some of them. Besides the names are super weird, I bet my descendants would be extremely annoyed learning them muahahahaha. Huh, so this is how scientist felt when naming chemicals or giving animals 'scientific names'? Good to know.

Besides this I also started doing a bit of research on oxygen to try and understand Mustang's fire alchemy. I have a decent attack power already let's be honest, who would want the most badass alchemy ever?

The last and best thing that happened however was the arrival of my butler, that's right I had to spend 3 months without him and let me tell you... life is hard without a butler when you get used to having one. So yeah now I am back to not having to ask for anything because I have someone who knows me better than I know myself and gets it done for me before I even think about it.

"Young master, your grandfather has announced the next party, it will be three days from now to celebrate the start of a new project that Atlas will be working on."

"I see... do you think the usual excuse will work?" I ask him.

"Hmm, probably not. You already used it to avoid the last two parties, so either a new one is used or you will have to attend the party." he tells me.

"Hmm, well then tell him that I have already an experiment planned out for the next five days."

"Not bad young master, you remembered how much they love experiments."

"Hehe, yes. I already had it prepared though, I knew that saying that I was on the brink of a breakthrough would work all the time anyway."

"Good idea young master. I shall take my leave and notify the rest of your family about it."

"Good, oh right, bring some apple juice on the way back I am almost out of it."

"I already placed a new one on the table to your left, young master." he said before leaving.

Turning my head to my left I see a new glass of apple juice.

"Damn he just keeps getting better and better at this whole 'guessing my requests before I even ask' thing. Nice."

After spending around a year in Atlas I must say I am quite impressed with how advanced things are here compared to the rest of the world. Perhaps the clocktower is on par with this, but humanity as a whole is quite behind. Buildings and structures programmed to do things upon entering voice commands, advanced laboratories investigating things like continues levitation through the use of refined metals and the magnetism generated by them, even facilities designed for experiments.

Honestly this place is any scientists wet dream.

"Still studying the Unified Language, Kurogiri?" I ask to the boy in front of me.

"Yes." he answers dryly.

"Sigh, you are never going to make any friends if you keep being so dry." I tell him, though it is a joke. Hmm, not sure if he gets my jokes though.

"I see no need for friends."

"Huh, and here I thought we were friends..."

"What gave you that impression?"

Well, this is awkward.

"We hang out with each other frequently and get along nicely, I am pretty sure those are the requirements to being friends. Actually, since we only hang out with each other, we are basically best friends." I tell him with an amused grin.

"Hmm, I have never read nor heard anything like that."

"Sigh, you are no fun man. Anyway, did you learn anything new?"

"Not since last week, you know how hard it is to come across even basic information about the Unified Language since you took an interest on Mystic Eyes, which are also hard to come by."

"Yeah, you are right. Ughh I still don't get why they have basically all the information secret! I mean sure they are basically the sharingans of this world except they get weaker when people know their abilities, but still! I want one!" I start complaining to him.

"I read in a book around three and a half months ago that they can be artificially made."

I deadpan at that comment.

"Why didn't you say that before! You were totally enjoying watching me suffering, thinking I would have to pull out a Danzo!"

"I didn't mention it because you didn't ask, also I don't understand 78% of your references."

"Sigh, let's hope you change a bit when you grow up, otherwise you won't find yourself a wife... I mean if you answer that way any woman who likes you will end up insane and trying to kill you you know?"

"I don't understand how that comparison makes sense. It escalated to quickly in my opinion."

"Well you never know... women are very passionate after all."

"Are you talking from experience or just making things up like with the 'friends' stuff you said before?"

"Hmph! You are lucky we are best friends otherwise I would get angry. Anyway, do you remember where you read the thing about Artificial Mystic Eyes?"

"Yes, in the third floor of the library. Towards one of the bookshelf of the end."

"Which library though? Because there are way too many here."

"The main one."

"Ahhh okey. Thanks then." I say while waving goodbye.
