The First Blooming Emotion

"What is this?" I asked as the young professor handed over another otherworldly gadget to me.

The gear looked like an arm-sized handle with each edge having a magistone attached. One shined in red while the other in green.

"Nyah, that's one of my old creations, huhu," Ryza applied a smug face as she adjusted her round glasses. "Though… I hope it's not going to be of use.

"Huh? What are you talking about, Professor?" Tia tilted her head, not understanding.

"I see," I said, examining with the gadget. "You wish to dowse the fire before it even starts."

"Eh? You understand what she just said, Mr. Zal?"

"Huh? Of course," I turned to her. "No combustions can happen in a vacuum space, as the requirements are oxygen, fuel, and heat."
