Acting and Battle

Standing at the foot of the mountain indicated by the ancient text, Abner could sense a powerful but concentrated force of "Distortion" and "Chaos" with his Pure White Eye, even without having read Roselle's relevant diary entries.

It likely came from the seals and magical rituals within the ruins.

Abner did not tell Roselle and the others right away. He let them search for the "entrance" while he made the most of the time to analyze the powers of "Distortion" and "Chaos."

Even if he could not learn them for now, he needed to record them with his Pure White Eye first.

Roselle was enthusiastic at first, but after several fruitless hours, his spirits waned. He lost interest in the search and came over to chat with Abner instead.

As Roselle himself would put it, he had trouble persevering when he could see no prospect of results...

"Our Doctor Strange, you've been standing here for a while... Have you found something?" Roselle asked with a smile.

From his expression, though, it was clear he did not expect Abner to have made any headway. After all, Roselle was the Archaeologist here, and even he had found nothing.

Abner had been waiting for that very question. Acting as a Polymath required someone else to ask him first, and since this Roselle had spirit, he could theoretically provide feedback on Abner's Acting.

"As it happens, I found something interesting." Abner pointed to a fairly flat stone not far in front of him. "Try standing there."

Roselle clearly had a reckless streak at this stage of his life. He jumped straight onto the stone, seemingly unconcerned that Abner might use the opportunity to harm him.

Of course, Roselle had his own calculations. Doing so demonstrated his trust in Abner and could help win him
