Experiments part 1

POV: Dr. Reggie

"Why is he in the form of a little girl?" I asked myself. "I thought it would be something more massive or ugly, like this old man," but my thoughts were soon occupied with this object. To say "he" is handsome is an understatement.

She is a young girl about 16 years old, about 165 cm tall, with long silver hair, a petite body that does not show any scar or muscles "probably the old man used a top-level spell to 'heal' him and there were no visible scars from the old man's methods." I sighed inwardly and continued to inspect the object. His skin is quite pale, almost white. Does she have a pair of dragon-like wings on her back?

"I don't know, but after experimenting, I need to send this information to my superiors" mentally noting his appearance in his memory, but what is rather strange about his body are his eyes, or rather pupils, they are too strange, slightly reptilian pupils, but other. And some small specks in them, barely noticeable, but with a strange brilliance, as if there were stars in them.

When I finished inspecting the object, I looked at the old man and asked: - Dr. Keely, what is our plan? I asked with mild curiosity. To which he smirked and replied: - Oh, the first test for the strength of different parts of the body, and then we will awaken it and also check the changes - he replied with endless excitement, even his grin turned into a devilish one. "Beast" was the only word that came to mind.

- Well, Dr. Keely - I answered and took the dagger and went up to him. - What's next? - asked, waiting for any instructions.

- Excellent! Subject 003 stretch out your hand, the old man ordered and he obeyed. The object raised its hand and stopped. "Chop, Dr. Reggie," he said enthusiastically.

"Are you saying that you called me here to cut off your object's hand?" - I asked, to which I received an unexpected and serious answer from the old man: - No, this is a very serious project that I have been studying for so many years and you want to say that I called you to chop it? This is not a joke to you, it can greatly change the already fragile balance of power - the old man said in one breath and the seriousness seen on his face for the first time.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'll do it then," I said in the most apologetic tone I could muster. In the next second, I injected some mana into the dagger and it hummed softly and caught fire in a moment.

I struck along the shoulder joint gracefully chopping off his arm or so I thought "why, didn't I hit with all my strength, of course without amplification." I was only able to cut half the joint and I heard a mad laugh behind me "What are you laughing at, old man!" I said angrily in my mind just before I cut the joint. Having cut the joint, the left hand fell next to the object. "No reaction," I analyzed his condition.

- Dr. Reggie, please describe these feelings when you cut the object - asked the old man. Without hesitation, I answered: - I seemed to be cutting something very hard, harder than this dagger, if you examine it, you can find several notches on it - I analyzed this experience.

- thank you! Subject 003 raise your hand and put it back on so you can move it - he said so and did so. Subject lifted his lost limb with the other hand and reattached it. Approximately 5 minutes passed and the subject moved his right arm, which had been severed.- Only 5 minutes are needed to heal a severed hand, this is beyond all expectations! - the old man exclaimed, and began to write down the data in his notebook. I was a little shocked by such a regeneration "he hasn't even awakened his core yet" I thought with amazement "this is really a monster, but is it possible to give it to the royal family?" Shaking my head inwardly, I began to think over options for possible actions. But before I could think of anything, the old man's raspy voice pulled me out of the brainstorming session.

"Dr. Reggie, prepare the core awakening tool," the old man told me, to which I nodded and went to the control panel. Pressing a couple of buttons

to and introduced mana, the runes on the walls lit up for a second and went out. In the center, a small box the size of my stomach appeared, in the center of which is a concentrated natural mana generator.

- Dr. Keely, isn't he too powerful? - I asked about the object, to which he said - to be honest, Dr. Reggie, I am also shocked by such regeneration without opening the core - the scarican answered honestly.

"Then, can we start awakening the core?" I asked the old man.

- Yes, yes, the object stand on that platform - he ordered and he stood up, then the old man approached him and began to enter the value necessary to awaken the subject's core. After noticing the values ​​he entered, I was shocked "this is more than 2 times my values! He is dangerous"

- Dr. Kili, why such high values, would you like to kill the object? - I asked, which immediately received a wave of criticism - Dr. Reggie, I have been working with this project for decades and I had the experience and all the necessary data to carry out this procedure, but you have been here for no more than 3 years and you dare to criticize me? he said irritably. "He's right. I'm almost like a baby to him in terms of research, and even force won't help," I concluded in my head.

- I'm sorry for such an inappropriate question - I said and received a cold look from the old man, "I think he did not believe" I thought and shrugged. The old man turned away and said:

- Well, the awakening of the core will finally begin! - He yelled happily in a voice that made my ears cramp. He pressed the button on the Core Awakening Tool, and immediately fired a powerful burst of mana into the subject's core. The flow penetrated under the skin right into the core, and immediately a huge whirlwind appeared and began to absorb the surrounding mana, so quickly that I was slightly shocked by this. "Whose core did he stuff into it?" I asked myself, but quickly focus on what was in front of my eyes.

A small cloud of the water element gathered around the test subject, but he did not absorb this mana "that means he is a magician of the water element, but why then the object does not absorb ...." before he could finish his thought, the mana began to be attracted to him and at a distance 30-40 cm it stops and then they turn into small snowflakes and then they start to soak into it "ice mage!" I exclaimed in my mind.

"It can be considered a rare talent if it has an affinity for a rarer form of mana, namely ice. There are also rarer attributes, but ice is also quite rare. And I'm not talking about water mana that turns into ice, but about one with core awakening affinity with ice magic!" I analyzed this shocking news.

- Well, how do you like my work, Dr. Reggie? - he asked me with a huge smirk, to which I smiled weakly and replied: - this is a huge step in the study and can you answer whose core is in the object? I asked the old man.

- Hmm, I did not take the core, because it was it that destroyed the test subjects in the majority, since they basically did not fit each other. And so I started to make them "born" with the nucleus, which led to today's result - he answered bluntly.

"I can't leave it to them," I mentally said to myself. And with those thoughts, I started planning a way to do it. "I'll think about it after the experiments" I reminded myself and continued to monitor the changes in the object. The more it absorbed ice elements, the lower the air temperature dropped, and I checked its core rank "stronger than the first, but not stronger than me" I concluded in my mind. But the next second, the subject's eyes opened wide, and then they became normal, cold and impartial.

- Well, object, congratulations on your successful awakening! - he told him in a maniacal voice and added. - Well, let's start our second part of the test! - he added in the same voice, but with a terrifying smile.
