Although Lucius wanted to search for mana marks on his own—trying to diversify his marks because he realized the danger of powerful spells like Meteor Strike on his current body—he found nothing even after a full day of searching.
He couldn't find the ones he wanted, so he gave up and returned to the academy. He would search more calmly another day.
Back at the Academy, in the Tool Creation Department.
The professor and the students were waiting patiently for his return, so when they saw them arrive, they stood up immediately.
The professor frowned as he looked at the mana mark they were holding.
"You really succeeded in such a short time," said the professor.
Lucius smiled slightly, though he said nothing. Because of fear, most people don't usually use "trickery" to catch their prey, unless you're stronger than they are.
