Back outside of Roland academy, outside of the city. Lenny had just informed Ray of what to do for the question that Professor Springett had proposed about the magic circle.

He was smiling out himself thinking about how stunned they would be when they saw Ray reveal his great knowledge that was actually Lenny's.

But his mind quickly moved onto something else. He was fascinated by how Martha and Jack were able to communicate with Ray.

Lenny decided to ask for more details about how the messaging system worked. Martha and Jack did their best to describe every detail of the system to Lenny and he was now even more fascinated.

He had heard of telepathy communication from a distance before, but this would be the case for an individual to another individual. But what Ray had was a connected network, where he was able to message any person whenever he wanted at any time and even they themselves were able to do the same.

Lenny couldn't imagine the amount of magic and how powerful the magic would have to be able to sustain such a thing. This type of thing was the power of gods, not humans. Lenny had a theory that perhaps a god spirit really did reside inside of Ray.

Evil and demonic spirits could reside inside that of humans, so why not good and godly spirits. While Lenny was deep in thought, Martha had decided to interrupt him.

"About our conversation earlier?

" Martha said,

"about making me stronger, I want to do it.

"

Lenny looked at Martha and could see a fierce look and determination in her eyes, she wasn't going to take no as a simple answer and someone like her, it might just work.

"I thought you might, I hadn't told you that story for no reason.

" Said Lenny.

"There will need to be some preparation first, we need to gather at least thirty basic tier crystals all of the same type, and we need to be careful in choosing what type of beast crystal.

"

"What do you mean?

"

"Depending on the base of the beast crystal, will also determine what magical power and other properties you will obtain, not only that but we have to be sure the beast is not too strong for your body.

" Lenny explained.

"I'm sure you are aware of the beast core rankings, well the rankings don't generally mean the strength of the beast, it's just the evolution path of that specific beast. Take a black wolf for example. It starts off as a basic tier beast, then has the chance to evolve, when beasts take an evolution path some of these paths come to a dead end and the beats are no longer able to evolve, while others can continue evolving.

"

"Now there are also beasts that have no evolution and are just born insanely strong like a dragon for example, but if we look at the Dragons relative the Wyvern, we can use them as an example. They start out as an egg and when are born are a baby Wyvern, when it is at this stage it is still considered a basic tier beast. But a Wyvern basic tier and a wolf basic tier there would be no competition in who would win.

"

Martha was kind of understanding what Lenny was trying to say, while Jack lost track of everything a while ago and decided to keep on nodding not to feel left out.

"So if we chose a beast crystal that is too strong for my body, will it lead to death?

" Martha asked.

"Precisely.

" Lenny replied,

"That was one of the major mistakes the human's made when trying to absorb these crystals. Of course, there are other things as well but this is an important first step.

"

"Would I be able to this as well to get stronger?

" Jack asked

Lenny then looked at Jack for a few moments before deciding to reply.

"You are already plenty strong boy, and I don't think you have reached your limit either,

" Lenny replied, But I will be honest I'm not sure. It's hard to say whether werewolves were an existence to begin with? If so, I doubt we could allow you to absorb crystals but I also have a theory that this might be how the werewolves race was born to begin with.

"

Lenny mind started to wonder, he was getting ideas with tinkering with Jack's body, doing tests of his own, but he knew that would be wrong. Jack was a companion. It was fine tinkering with his own body and helping those that were willing like Martha but he had his own morals and wouldn't do something against another person's wishes.

Jack was a little upset with the answer Lenny had given him but at the same time, he realised something. Jack himself didn't know much about werewolves or why he even was one. He had yet to go home and discuss with his family. Were his father and mother the same as him?

Or had someone experimented with him when he was younger like Lenny did himself. When the time was right Jack would need to go back home and ask his family these questions.

"Do you have any idea what type of beast we should go looking for then?

" Martha asked.

"I have seen you fight for the last couple of days while we have been practising outside. I have a good idea of what would suit you. I will keep an eye on the local Quest bored and see if anything pops up but I do have to ask you one more time. Although I am almost certain I can avoid death, I'm not a hundred percent sure this will work, even when I used this method on myself I nearly died, if it doesn't kill you and is not successful, there is a good chance you could become crippled, unable to use Ki at all.

"

Martha clenched her fist hard, at the moment she wasn't even strong enough to go up against advanced tier beast on her own. There were still things like the true infected out there and even shadow infected beasts.

Right now, she knew she was basically useless baggage and it looked like the people around her were only getting stronger while she was being left behind.

"I will do it,

" Martha said.
