"So, what have you been doing in the past few days?" Maya asked. "Don't surprise me again like last time. If you want, I can help."
It had been five days since he began the project in earnest. Ellia would soon become the first person to surpass Grade S affinity.
Auric thought for a moment. He didn't really want to reveal everything, but he thought it would be fine to tell Maya about it.
All this time, Maya had been helpful, so he felt a bit bad surprising her all the time.
So Auric raised one finger. "My project. It's called the Artificial Heart Method."
"Artificial Heart Method? You're going to revive someone who's dead?"
"No, it's a method to increase your affinity."
"What?!" Maya felt like her heart stopped for a second. She looked at Auric in disbelief. "You…"
The gathering technique was already a big enough matter. The fact that he was a unique-element evolution master shattered her common sense.
This time, Auric went one step further by increasing someone's affinity.
