A day passed after Victor Shieldman returned from his trip to Naeross Island.
Due to her busy schedule with a patent delivery, Mari Dundragon couldn't assist Victor until after lunch, which resulted in Victor staying at Selvarum Manor for a while during the day.
After some time away and some time back, the mansion did not seem as gloomy to him as it had on that strange early morning. Still, Victor didn't feel very accepted in this place by people other than Luisa, so he waited for Mari to finish what she had to do while he wandered around her lab.
"The intruder can't touch this!" Wiggen said, pulling a crystal out of Victor's hand.
Victor didn't fight for the crystal, as it was just a simple heat crystal, so when he let go of it, Wiggen fell on his butt on the table, holding the crystal.
