"Don't worry. I'll have it ready for you as soon as I can. Give me a few days," Isaac said confidently.
He still faced plenty of difficulties with the elixir. He hadn't even gathered all the experimental materials, and the panel put his chance of success at just thirteen percent. None of that stopped him from sounding supremely confident.
Anjie fell silent as she looked at him. She didn't know Isaac all that well, but her witch's intuition told her he had barely worked on it.
And if he was this confident, he was probably planning to use the Time Fruit.
The Time Fruit consisted of flesh and a core. Eating the flesh granted ten years of blank time, while planting the core grew a Future Tree that could change the future three times within a certain range.
Used together, those powers could almost guarantee Isaac the completion of three research projects.
Their effect was incredible.
Isaac hadn't used the Time Fruit before because he hadn't decided what to research with it. The flesh granted only ten years, and the core could change the future only three times. Were they powerful?
Without a doubt.
But not powerful enough. At Isaac's level, research that took ordinary wizards decades to complete was commonplace. There would be far more than three obstacles and wrong turns along the way.
Even for Isaac, the fruit was impressive rather than all-powerful. He could forget about completing any of his projects involving suspected Great Creations, and even the lesser Great Deeds would probably be beyond its reach.
After all, his research into Great Creations and Great Deeds currently rested on one or several possibilities. He didn't even know whether those possibilities were right.
What was more, the ten blank years could not be interrupted. If he ran
