Capítulo 82: Someone is impatient?
'I can really do well with talismans using the special eyes. I will definitely have an edge over others,' he thought, a small smile playing on his lips as he worked. His fingers moved with precision, tracing the intricate patterns on the talisman.
He thought to himself while slowly filling it with his water-attributed espera.
The cool, blue energy flowed from his fingertips, intertwining with the delicate lines of the talisman.
He was able to easily coordinate with the light-attributed espera on his first try.
A soft glow emanated from the talisman, the two energies merging seamlessly.
He pondered for a moment as he saw the espera combining with the two attributes balancing out.
The light and water danced together, a harmonious blend that filled him with satisfaction.
'He is doing good…' Evelyn sensed the flow and felt it was more controlled he was doing better than her while manipulating the talisman. She watched, her eyes narrowing in concentration as she analyzed the smooth movements of his espera.
She had a bewildered expression as she noticed his flawless control. He did not rank first during the mountain climb test for nothing, after all.
"Hmm?" she noticed as he suddenly let go of the flow. The talisman's glow flickered, the delicate balance disrupted.
'What?'
Her eyes narrowed as she looked at the abrupt loss of control he suddenly displayed. Her brow furrowed, confusion etched across her face.
Why did he suddenly lose control?
It was too sudden. One moment prior, he was masterfully manipulating the espera flow, and the next instant, he abruptly lost it! Her heart skipped a beat at the abrupt change, she was keenly observing his control, she was lost in memorizing his movements.
It would have made more sense had he tried to balance it and slowly lost control, but… it was just too abrupt!
Swish! Crack!
The talisman again started to show cracks similar to how it happened in her case.Tiny fissures snaked across the surface, the glow dimming
However, this time, Oliver stopped applying any more espera before it burst like before and put them in danger of injury like before.
He released a breath he didn't realize he was holding, his hands steady as he withdrew his energy.
"Ah, the control is really complex. I felt it was going quite well, but then all of a sudden, I felt a strong turbulence and was caught off guard, hahaha," he laughed as he narrated his experience. He rubbed his head as if wiping non-existent sweat.
His laugh was forced, the tension in his shoulders betraying his casual demeanor, at least to her.
In reality, this was not at all true, but a complete facade.
He was already able to grasp the correct way to control the espera flow the moment he first started to apply espera in the circuits present in the talisman. . The patterns and pathways of the espera were clear in his mind, each line a map he could follow with ease.
He even had a way prepared to maintain and coordinate the balance between the two elements on his own.
With [Cosmic Void Gaze], he was directly able to observe in which line his espera was going and how the other espera was reacting towards it—the places where it would react more, the places where it would react less.
His eyes glowed faintly, the world around him shifting into sharp focus as the cosmic energy revealed the hidden flows of nature.
He was able to notice everything with ease.
Had he tried a little more, he would have definitely succeeded in balancing it out.
It would have been completed on his first try alone.
'Well, the tenfold espera talent from Nadia is not for nothing, I guess,' he inwardly thought to himself as he felt the wonders of the high espera talent. A sense of pride welled up inside him, the potent energy humming beneath his skin.
Now that he experienced it in person practically, he could clearly say that this talent was not just for show it was too easy for him!
He looked at the girl staring at him with a complex gaze. He still had to increase his relativeness with her, so if he had already completed it on his first try, the distance between them might grow further.
If he wanted to bond with her, he had to make it as natural as possible and achieve it swiftly.
He could now discuss with her how they should proceed and what tactics they should employ to control the elemental espera.
More time gave more opportunities to him.
"Why did you suddenly…? Like… I could sense that you were doing it extremely well, so… the sudden imbalance and loss of control… I am a bit confused." Evelyn could not help but ask him. Her voice was hesitant, a mix of curiosity and concern.
"Same. I was totally not expecting that in the end. I could tell that I was doing it correctly until it suddenly happened, and for some reason, I just could not maintain it. Maybe a few more tries, and I might get the hang of the entire process?" he replied, feigning disbelief at the situation.
His eyes met hers briefly before looking away, adding to the illusion of his confusion.
Looking at him being appalled at this situation as well, Evelyn nodded. She did feel it was odd, but there could be many reasons. Maybe it was the circuit that was the problem?
She fell into thoughts of her own. What if she supplied espera in an instant and controlled it afterward? Her mind raced with possibilities, each scenario playing out in her head.
Or if she should gather the espera and isolate it from the other elemental espera instead?
Then she could slowly try to assimilate the two elements without worrying about filling it in the process?
Or…
Soon enough, she was consumed by her own thoughts as she pondered on ways to improve the process, finding different ways and experimenting in her head. Her fingers traced invisible patterns in the air, mimicking the pathways she envisioned.
Looking at her engrossed in her own world of thoughts, Oliver nodded to himself. A small, satisfied smile tugged at his lips.
The protagonist right now was in the process of decoding the situation. Given her intellect, it should not take her long either to figure out the entire process and achieve it practically too.
He just had to wait now for some time and implement his own plans.
Eventually, they became busy thinking up ways to achieve the result they desired.

On the other hand, the others did not sit idly either and were busy with their own strategies.
"Come on! This is the fourth time you are messing up!"
A frustrated groan from a girl sounded out as she scrutinized the boy in front of her. Her hands were on her hips, her eyes glaring daggers at him.
It was none other than Amber, who was currently reprimanding Alphonso for not being able to complete the process. Her cheeks flushed with irritation, her foot tapping impatiently against the floor.
Their approach was different from the others, with them dividing the roles between each other. Some portions of the circuit were supposed to be filled by Amber, while the rest would be Alphonso's responsibility.
Being proficient with tools and belonging to the lineage of genius tool exorcists, she did not hesitate and quickly got the hang of the methods and the talisman's overall structural creation.
In her opinion, they had the best chance of winning this small yet meaningful challenge undoubtedly. freёweɓnovel.com
She was confident in this because she was able to grasp how to coordinate with the talisman and balance the wind element Alphonso had.
Her earth element was robust and easily able to suppress and control the wind element—she was able to expertly tune the wind-attributed espera as she wanted to and balance it out. The earthy brown energy swirled around her, solid and unwavering, as it intertwined with the airy tendrils of Alphonso's wind element.
Then what was the problem if she could already do this?
The main issue was with Alphonso. He was still having difficulty grasping the technique and control to balance out her earth-attributed espera in the talisman—always messing it up. His brow furrowed in concentration, beads of sweat forming on his forehead as he struggled to maintain the flow.
However, unlike Oliver and Evelyn, who were causing mini explosions again and again, Amber did not let such a situation happen.
Whenever she sensed him losing the grip on the talisman, she would directly intervene and control the situation on her own, preventing the explosion from taking place. Her quick reflexes and sharp intuition kept them safe, her hands steady as she took over the flow the moment he even showed the signs of imbalance.
"Come on, Alphonso! What are you even doing!?" An agitated voice scolded in a high pitched tone.
