Rouge's Lessons: Circuits

"This is insane..."

I scratched the back of my head as I stared at the work Baccus just gave me. Looking at it at a glance, I almost wanted to protest at the fact that the blade was pretty much riddled with Seigels and yet it hasn't exploded yet. I mean, from what I knew, layering Seigels on top of Seigels in such a compact way was bound to make the material explode from Wesen Overload. It just didn't make any sense...

"What's that, Brother?"

I blinked at Lise as she approached me from behind. "It's something old man Baccus gave me to study. As you can see, it goes against everything that I've taught you, and yet it hasn't exploded yet."

It was just not possible... Unless... I did recall Father doing something like this before, but not to this extent. Although....

Curious, I ran my hand across the flat of the blade, feeling out the Wesen and Seigelwork as I confirmed something that I had in my mind.

"So... do you know how it works now?"

"I think I do," I hummed in thought as I stared at Lise, my sister cutely leaning over my shoulder with her ever-adorable smile. "The Wesen running through this blade isn't completely diffused across its Seigels. Each individual Seigel can be activated at will, preventing an Overload from happening in the first place."

It was rather ingenious actually. And now that I thought about it, something like this was bound to be useful some time in the future.
