Arthur had learned a little about electricity.
Not much, but if all he needed to do was charge something, it was enough.
At the very least, he knew how to generate static electricity through friction.
He also knew how to melt sulfur in a flask, insert a wooden handle into it, and build a stand to make generating static electricity easier.
He could even make a simple device for storing electricity out of a glass bottle, a metal chain, and layers of tin foil inside and out.
Of course, if that still wasn't enough, he could harness nature... no, act as nature's deliveryman.
A kite would be enough to make "contact" with lightning.
Naturally, Arthur wouldn't hold the kite string himself.
He had...
[Invisible Hand]!
In short, he had plenty of ways to charge the [Thunder Mark].
And that would throw a wrench into the Countess's little scheme.
The Countess had given him the perfect-grade [Thunder Mark] not only to put House of South Los's "mark" on him, but also to make him depend on her.
After all...
This was the power of the ascension rank!
Even someone at step-entry would be tempted by power like that.
Imagine becoming an all-powerful superman, only to lose that power one day. What would you do?
Accept it calmly?
Or do everything in your power to find it and regain your strength?
Most people would choose the second option.
And that was exactly what the Countess wanted to see.
Once he grew accustomed to the "power of the ascension rank" granted by the [Thunder Mark], its energy would eventually run out. When that happened, the Countess would step forward.
She would announce that she could charge the [Thunder Mark].
Then, once it was charged, he would regain the [Thunder Mark]'s power.
But before
