Strongest Superhuman System

"Yeah, it's probably the king. I don't know what she is trying to do though. Why would she kill five hundred people? Is there some type of condition she is trying to fulfill for the game?"

Luna looked at the screen again as she also wondered what the king was trying to do. They already knew that the king was in the Tokyo museum as Merlin said, but there hadn't been any movement from the king since the fight between the Pawn, Rook, and Knight ended. There has only been a continuous string of killings that left everybody in Shibuya puzzled.

Mark shrugged while taking another sip of coffee. He couldn't really say anything about the king since he didn't understand what she was doing either. Mark even sent out the wiik-bat for surveillance, but it had yet to find anything substantial. The king's territory was protected by strong magic, so the wiik-bat was not able to go very far into the territory since it was weak against magic.

All Mark had seen was a large number of people standing perfectly still outside the king's territory. They were almost like guard dogs, but there were no signs of movement from them at all. They stood still regardless of the weather or time of day, just like zombies.

Is the king creating an army?

That was the only conclusion that Mark could come to about this situation. If the king was creating an army, then he would have to attack before she could make it too large.

"How are your injuries? You said they were healing faster than before, right? Do you think you'll be able to get on your feet again soon?"

Mark changed the topic and Luna nodded as she grabbed her shoulder and pressed down on it a little. Her injuries were healing at a much faster pace than any human's injuries should heal, and Luna just guessed that it was due to the presence of her mana in her body. Luna still couldn't use mana in the game, but that did not mean that she did not have her mana.

Her mana was there, but she just couldn't bring it out.

But after she learned how to properly move mana through her body from Merlin, she could tell that her mana was working a lot more efficiently now.

"Your mana control has gotten better too. Is it because of what Merlin taught you?"

Luna nodded as she eyed Mark curiously. How could Mark tell that her mana control got better? As far as Luna knew, Mark was not the best at sensing mana at all. Mark was not able to sense his own mana just a few days ago, and now he could tell her how her mana was flowing through her body?

"Can you feel my mana?"

Mark took another drink of coffee and nodded absentmindedly.

"Yeah, I can see the highlight of it. It's almost like a white vein traveling across your entire body and sending mana through you. It used to be a single core in the middle of your body pouring mana into every part of you, so I think it changed because of what Merlin taught you."

Luna was stunned. Mark was already capable of seeing how she sent mana through her body. Since when? Luna asked Mark how long it had been since he could do this and Mark just told her that it hadn't been that long.

Ever since she told him about how to make mana flow through his body properly, he has been feeling for his mana and the mana of the people around him, and it was a lot easier for him to sense mana now.

Mark used to depend on the system for everything concerning mana, so now that he was finally doing some of it himself, it was as if all the mana around him was open for him to see whenever he wanted.

Luna was dumbfounded. Mark did not understand why this was such a big deal, but Luna knew that this was something that no normal person should be capable of. To be able to start sensing mana only four days after learning how to spread mana in your body was not only absurd, it was freakish. Normal superhumans all start off the same way that Mark started.

They would not be able to control the mana in their body for some time, but after learning how to control the mana, they will be able to sense the mana of the things around them, and then they will start sensing the mana of the people around them. The transition from being able to control your mana to being able to sense the mana of other superhumans would usually take at least three months.

Luna only took three weeks and she was already considered a prodigy. But Mark was able to do all that in four days?

"You don't understand how impressive that is, do you? You're not even a magic-type fighter."

Mark seemed a little confused by what she said, but he eventually disregarded it as he grabbed the cups from the table and took them to the kitchen. Luna kept talking as Mark washed the cups.

"Merlin taught me that the mana in the body shouldn't be a single entity. It should be split up into many parts and then those parts should be taught how to carry out certain functions. Like how his mana heals him once it is up to a certain level. He has a fixed amount of mana that handles only healing him and nothing else. He also has a portion of mana set out for defense, attack, and even flight.

All the mana for these things are split up. I'm trying to do the same thing, but it is taking some time because my mana is already used to doing everything at once. If I can get it to split up properly and train the individual parts to do what they need to do, the potency of my mana should increase."

Mark hummed in understanding. He got the basic gist of it, but wouldn't that reduce the amount of mana you can use for other things? Separating a part of your mana for one thing would reduce the amount of mana you can use for something else. And if you have too many things to use mana for, then you can only use a little bit for everything at a time.

Mark asked this to Luna and Luna nodded.

"Yes, it reduces the amount of mana I can use for one thing at a time, but it is still more efficient. Healing mana is healing mana and it will always be more efficient at healing than attack mana. That way, I can gain more while using up less mana. I might only be able to use less mana for something, but that does not mean it will be weaker at all.

You know, if you want, I could teach you how to use it too. I'm strong enough to have a few lessons now."

Luna blushed slightly as she said the last part. Her head was turned away from Mark and she tried to make her voice sound as casual as possible while waiting for Mark's response. Mark smiled as he came back to the table while cleaning his hands with a towel.

"Really? That's nice. I think I'll take you up on that offer."
