Chapter 202 An Advice

Steve didn't know what Conrad wanted by coming to see him. But Steve knew he had nothing to worry about.

He knew quite a bit about the man. A man who managed to enter another world passed by chance and came back with something extraordinary.

Yes, Steve had looked up some information on Conrad though not much.

Even so, the bit of information he got was still something amazing.

He is the man who started it all. About how Conrad got into another world, Steve didn't really know the details.

He only knew that Conrad was lost on a mission in the middle of the forest and then disappeared for several months.

But that doesn't matter because they already know how to open a Portal through the figure of a woman whose whereabouts are now unknown.

According to what Steve knows, Conrad enters that world and meets an Elf girl.

He who was injured was nursed by that Elf girl until he recovered.

Long story short, Conrad returned with knowledge of Magic and the key-shaped artifact.

There is a small table with two chairs facing each other located on each side. Conrad sat in one chair and Steve sat in another.

"What do you need?" Steve got straight to the point.

Conrad smiled. "You're not wasting your time, huh..."

Steve didn't answer and just stared at Conrad. Waiting for whatever he has to say. He tried to keep his face as calm as possible.

"How do you feel?" Conrad asked.

Steve felt an uneasiness in his chest. But he kept it invisible on the surface.

"I'm fine. Thank you for asking," Steve replied.

Conrad stared at him for a while like he was studying him. "Are you sure?"

"Yeah. What do you mean?"

"I know that the Magic power of that other world will do something to an ordinary human's body," Conrad said. "Are you sure you're all right?"

Steve stared at him. Could it be that he had something to deal with this uneasiness and this burning feeling inside him?

After all, he was his senior for this Magic matter.

"What did you feel when you first got it?" Steve asked.

Conrad smiled faintly. He seemed to have gotten the answer he wanted from Steve's questions and body language.

Although he tried to hide the signs, Conrad knew that Steve must have been feeling strange symptoms in his body.

"I didn't feel anything weird. Because an Elf was attending me," Conrad said.

"I've seen what happened to the woman who awakened that ice Magic. She went berserk and almost killed the scientists. Luckily I made it in time to stop her."

"I'm monitored by cameras 24/7. You can just come to me if something happens." Steve said.

Steve glanced at the camera located in the upper corner of his room.

The camera kept moving after him so he had nowhere to hide.

", I thought I should check up on you and give you some useful advice," Conrad said.

"What's that?"

"You are an extraordinary person. You showed a great affinity with the Magic core that entered your body. You also managed to awaken your own Magic power and still have full control over yourself."

Steve just remained silent and stared at Conrad.

"You are a very successful subject. We can't afford to lose you. So I will give you a way to control your Magic power more perfectly."

As soon as he heard that, Steve had his full attention on Conrad.

The way to control his Magic power. It was something he really needed right now.

Conrad started explaining what he knew about how to control that power.

Steve frowned in concentration. Conrad explained that he have to be able to control his Magic power so it wouldn't go berserk and destroy him.

The most effective way is through meditation. Steve also has to practice using his powers for several days or even months. For as long as it takes.

"For you, you just have to do that. But Jana needs more difficult time and treatment than you," Conrad said after explaining everything he needed.

Now he looked calmer by leaning back in the chair with a calm face.

"Who is Jana?"

"Jana is subject number 2. The woman that has awakened ice Magic that you defeated yesterday."

Steve nodded his head.

"Is that so? How are you going to treat her?" Steve asked.

"Leave that to me," Conrad said. Then Conrad stood up.

"I'll be going for now. Do what I told you and you'll be fine."

When Conrad was already walking towards the door, Steve said something and stopped him in his track.

"After this, what's next?"

Conrad paused at the door for a moment before answering.

Then he gave a short and mysterious answer.

"I don't know. Maybe... They'll make some more."

Conrad left the room. Steve was still sitting in thought in his chair.

'Make some more?'

Steve thought of something that might have been what Conrad had meant.

After knowing that there is a subject that seems successful, then what the government will do is predictable.

They will definitely create more human subjects who can use Magic.

With that, they can create a super soldier that can use Magic and modern weaponry.

That's actually pretty good. But more subjects will also cause more failures.

At that time, Steve felt that he would be used to handling those failures.

Steve just sighed and decided not to think about it too much.

After all, he couldn't do anything about it other than comply.

Steve then sat cross-legged on his bed and started practicing what he heard from Conrad.

He closed his eyes tightly and let his thoughts drift away.

The feeling of uneasiness and desire he felt grew stronger like a fire starting to burn his body.

Steve could suddenly see a visualization of a blazing fire in his vision.

Steve had entered a state of deep concentration in a short amount of time. So he didn't notice that his entire body was emitting an orange and reddish aura.

The orange and reddish aura also causes the room temperature to rise. But Steve didn't notice the change.
