Chapter 6: That Explains A Lot

At that exact moment, people started coming inside Erik's class. On his face, a grin was plastered since he heard the students talking about the bathroom fire.
He immediately understood he was successful and got a lot of pleasure from it. His face was so radiant that multiple people noticed the odd behavior, but Erik didn't care. It felt great being able to manipulate someone like that without them even noticing.
"All right, guys," Mr. O'Leary said. "We will spend the next hour trying to establish connections between the brain and the crystal, the neural links. As I already explained to you multiple times, neural links are important to increase ranks. Currently, most of you are at the sigma level on the Idor scale, which classifies the number of neural links you made. From one to three, you are sigma individuals, regardless of the Ferebtiz and the Jorm scale; from four to six, you are rho individuals." Mr. O'leary said while walking around the room. The teacher used a very calm tone as he spoke, ensuring everyone understood him clearly.
"As i explained several times," he said while looking at Erik. "To create a neural link, you have to channel mana through the brain crystal and connect the crystal to the brain. You must open a path between the brain and the crystal and use mana for this purpose. It is natural, this operation, I mean. You should understand what to do once you channel mana through your brain." The teacher looked again at Erik, knowing he was the only one in class still at the SIGMA1 level while most of his classmates were at the SIGMA3 or the RHO1.
"I can't stress enough how important the neural links are. They allow you to control your Brain's Crystal Power more easily and generally represent your individual power. Yeah, you also have to consider the Ferebitz and the Jorm scale to fully understand how good your power is. Still, everything starts from how you can use your power, not on how much mana it can harness or how useful it is. Lastly, the more neural links between the brain and the crystal, the greater the amount of mana that can flow through your body. This makes you mutate; your DNA gets empowered, making you faster and stronger."
The teacher looked at the students with a serious look. He believed in what he was saying.
"Now, let's channel mana again, all right?" Mr. O'Leary asked.
Everyone nodded and began using their brain crystals to create a new neural link. The task was not as simple as the teacher made it seem, and it took months for the students to reach the level they were. Making brain crystals was natural, yet insanely hard.
This spoke volumes about individuals at the ALPHA level if they existed. Many said that not even Solomon Judd could get to the ALPHA level, which was why he perished during the expeditions to the other continent.
Erik focused on the task at hand; this was one of the few things he was desperately trying to accomplish. He wanted to become stronger, to get out of his insufferable life. Even though he knew it would never happen, he kept believing there was a way to escape.
A chance to leave everything behind and live without concerns, but that was only possible through having more neural links. That daydream always gave him hope when reality became too harsh.
He concentrated harder than ever before, focusing on the task at hand. He tried to channel mana through his brain crystal. Still, suddenly he couldn't feel the sensation of mana flowing through his body anymore. This was a usual occurrence. He couldn't go past this level because every time he used mana to make a neural link, he lost connection to the ethereal substance without reason.
However, something different happened this time.
[WARNING: A DEFORMITY OF THE BRAIN CRYSTAL HAS BEEN FOUND. USAGE OF MANA IS STRONGLY DISCOURAGED]
Erik was almost shouting.

realization downed on the young man. Was it possible that all his problems increasing in ranks were due to this deformity? What if he was only F-ranked because of this? What if he could control more mana?
[YES. THE BIOLOGICAL SUPERCOMPUTER CAN MODIFY THE DNA AND THE BRAIN CRYSTAL. THE FUNCTION IS, THOUGH, LOCKED, BUT THE HOST CAN TEMPORARILY USE THE POWER BY CONSUMING DNA POINTS]
A spark of hope ignited in the young man, not only because of the possibility of solving his deformity problem but also because of what the BSC said: the power to modify the DNA and the brain crystal. Erik wasn't sure what this would mean or imply. Still, he couldn't stop thinking about it.
