Norman's Shop, Part 2

"Consider the Mana crystal to be the North Pole of a lode stone, and the Purple Magic Stone to be the North Pole of an Iode stone. You'll notice the opposition if you bring those two closer together, won't you?"

"North...south...Ah yes! It will be opposing of their faces!" he replied.

"Then we need a neutralizer to control the opposition. Do you understand?" With a smile, I inquired. This is the non-contact force principle in action.

Magnetic forces are non-contact forces that pull or push on objects without coming into contact with them. Magnets attract only a few 'magnetic' metals and not all matter. Magnets are both attracted and repellent to other magnets. Magnetism, for example, is a force that acts at a distance. These are forces that can act on an object without physically touching it.

So, if I add a conductor or metal to neutralize the magnets, I should consider adding an essence to neutralize the crystals and stones.

Wait..."Perfect." Without saying anything else, I picked up a large piece of parchment that was lying on the ground and drew a plan. It took me a while to come up with an idea to easily neutralize. The law I devised states that if the mana crystals truly act as a magnet's pole and the Magic Stone also acts as a magnet's pole, it would be neutralized with an effective essence from which my pistols were made by me and the blacksmiths.

I raised the bands and kept the band near my shirt as I was hiding my pistol there in the right. It worked perfectly when I used mana to check them out.

While I was doing so, I could feel Evana's and Norman's hot breaths on the back of my neck as they scrutinized my principal.

The Non-Contact Force Principle 'A non-contact force is a force which acts on an object without coming physically in contact with it.'

I finished my writing after about a half-hour and wrote some of my ideology on this topic as a gift to Mr. Norman for giving me the bands, so he wouldn't just steal my idea; I would write the other ideas relating to this after the negotiations were finished.

"Th-This is…this…" His eyes widened two-fold as he snatched the paper away so he could study it in depth.

"Of course… why didn't I think of this? There was this solution as well!" I could see his hands trembling as his nose practically touched the parchment.

His brow furrowed, and his gaze darted all around the paper. "I feel like something's missing…"

I gently took back the paper and rolled it up. "I actually left out some major theories and details that I will gladly include... if you tell me how you extracted the essences from the mana crystals and mana stone while also giving me this band for free!" I put on an innocent smile.

"Are you really just a twelve-year-old?" His gaze became sharp but after a few seconds, he let out a helpless sigh. Even Evana looked baffled by the turn of events seeing how knowledgeable I was.

"Alright! Here!" as he said he pulled out rolled sheet of paper from his spatial storage ring and handed over to me.

I opened it and went through all of the processes, and surprisingly, he didn't hide anything from me.

"Right! With that settled, I noticed two silver-gold necklaces in that box! I need one of them as well!" I said to him, smiling.

"I had some of the best designers work on the actual piece so it would be err...'suitable' for the Royal Family," he explained.

That's why picked it up my friend.

He saw me giving of an innocent smile as Evana was seeing the band.

"Alright! But first write the principles!" he said as I completely wrote the theory for the non contact force.

Evana didn't notice I was buying the necklace, so I figured I'd give it to her when I was ready.

"Sigh...you're putting me in a difficult situation, but I know you're doing me a favor by giving me these principles. I can only imagine how much progress our continent could be develop with this! Yes! I can see it in my eyes now! The future of Development!" He excitingly said as he carefully folded it and placed it in his spatial storage ring after studying the principles.

Actually I guess he mean science, but the word is not familiar around in this place.

He returned his gaze to me, not as if I were a child, but as an equal. "Where did you get this idea?" he asked. as he walked around and took a rectangular piece of refined Iron core essence

He approached me and assessed me as he fixed the essence to the band as I devised in the principles, making it appear quite contrasting to me.

The band began its work after I infused it with mana. "Could you please give me a Magic analyzer?" as I was going to ask,  Henry had already prepared it.

I placed my hand on the jade-like plate, which is actually a rank-checking device. A and it displayed a Solid orange coloured circle in its centre, which is the solid orange state instead of my actual rank, which was a Dark yellow satge.

"I guess it works!" Norman exclaimed as we both walked over to the box for the necklace.

Without Evana noticing, I also put the necklace inside my Lifeful ring for now as Norman taking a look at Evana, he smiled at me.

I sighed and added, "So, I enjoy craftsmanship and am one myself! I know quite a bit about them!" I said as I only laughed and walked out the door, Evana trailing behind me, still perplexed by the turn of events.

"Hey Kid!" he called me suddenly as we both were at the doorsteps.

"Are you going to attend the Atlas Academy?" he asked.

Without turning back, "Yes, we both are!!" I smiled as I walked out the door.

...

"Ethan! How do you know about all of this?" Evana inquired as we walked down the road to our house.

"I learned a lot from the library, and I also tried a few of them while adventuring. So, I knew about them!"

"Mm. I suppose you have many sides that I am unaware of!" She said as I simply smiled, "Haha! I'm really just a simple guy!"

Evana smiled hesitantly after hearing me, and while walking, I also let Jin out of the ring and conversed with him.

"How does the Ring work then?"

"I'm not sure, a lady inside the Holy Tree gave it to me!"

"Eh?"

We walked happily while talking, unaware that we were once again holding hands.
