Meeting With Another

During this time, Alex had finished debriefing Jack as to what had happened, skipping no detail, neither on how he killed the first man, nor how he marked the car, and Jack sat behind his desk in contemplation.

"Your use of mana is so versatile compared to how my men have been using it until now. It's like comparing children with a drill to an adult equipped with a welder. Couldn't you teach them how to do all this?" Jack asked, his gaze narrowing.

Alex scoffed.

"I could, if they were predisposed to learning. Your men already have a hard time going from using their previous training to use their newfound powers. Do you think I can ask them to scrap what they barely just learned to learn something else?" Alex replied.

Jack looked at him for a moment before sighing and shaking his head.

"No. It wouldn't work. Soldiers might be adaptable on a battlefield, but that flexibility doesn't extend much farther, I'm afraid."

Alex chuckled.
