Previously, when he had heard about the Ice Potion, John had used his Frame Recognition to properly inspect Mond's body, but he had found nothing out of the ordinary.
All of the underlying codes and clusters within Mond's body were either healthy green or standard white.
It was as if the potion held him in a state of stasis, but there was no trace of it anywhere for John to extract or intervene. John initially thought it would be like the black fog contamination. Yet that wasn't the case.
So, he had decided to let the youth ingest the cores first, to force the attributes to enhance, and see what would happen; perhaps such enhancement pressure would reveal the hidden Ice Potion codes or so.
His decision proved to be the correct one. The moment Mond began processing the cores, John's vision exploded with a fast-paced evolution that happened to him. New code clusters were appearing where there had been nothing but normal green codes before. And that wasn't the end of it.
