The Pouring Rain

Steve just sighed and silently stared at the scientists and their crew with flat eyes.

He didn't need to do anything. In fact, it was them who had to be prepared, not him.

The words that Thomas put out only meant that Steve and Annie - subjects - prepared themselves mentally.

Luckily, Steve had mentally prepared himself for a long time. So he didn't have to do anything but wait.

However, Annie is different. She looked even more agitated and bit her lip even harder.

Steve was of course aware of Annie's anxiety and fear. Because she moved her legs non-stop.

She also tugged at the end of her black shirt even tighter.

"Don't be too scared. Conrad is there if anything bad happens," Steve said.

He didn't do that out of sympathy for Annie. It's just that he was worried that her anxiety and fear would end up creating a bad situation.

The Magic power seemed to react to the user's feelings. If Annie behaved like this, she might provoke her unstable Magical power.
