Chapter 52 The Shock

'They'll discover me eventually,' Gin mused. 

Unless he secluded himself to focus solely on magical research, his presence in the world of ability users would eventually be revealed. It was an inevitability he had accepted since the day he became entangled with the dimensional portals.

 Still, he aimed to delay that moment until he had built sufficient power.

For now, he refined his new defense system. The enhanced shock dispersion differed from Frostin's version. Gin could redirect impacts internally and discharge them in any direction he chose, rather than simply letting them flow outward.

Exhaling deeply, Gin stood, stretched, and flopped onto the bed.

"Just five minutes," he murmured to himself. His mind and body were exhausted, but his work wasn't finished. There was still the matter of analyzing his battle with Ruben.
