However, Waver had also noticed the weakness of this seemingly perfect Magic Crest.
The key lay in its "autonomous thinking" function.
To conserve mana, Volumen hydrargyrum always set its defensive strength to exactly the level needed to perfectly withstand an attack.
Could this Magic Crest actually have a human personality?
Volumen hydrargyrum was practically as overconfident and arrogant as its master.
If I can make proper use of Shinji-kun's traps and increase the intensity in a set sequence, I might really be able to break through Teacher Kenshinnes's Volumen hydrargyrum, Waver thought.
