"How does it feel?"
Roland smiled at Misaki Shokuhou, his hands cupping her temples, concern on his face.
"It's a very strange feeling..."
Misaki Shokuhou gently opened her slightly hazy eyes.
"I'm clearly not connected to the External Brain, but I have this illusion that knowledge and power are constantly pouring into my mind, as though I'm learning about the world with every passing second."
"That's no illusion. The Dream Creator is simply drawing out your potential. It stimulates the brain to bring out latent talent."
Roland released his hands and gave a meaningful smile.
"Ability users can raise their levels this way until they meet the requirements to touch the threshold of magnetic field power. Ordinary people without abilities but with the aptitude will also gain a solid foundation, allowing them to seize the opportunity to acquire power when the environment changes in the future."
Watching Roland speak so confidently, Misaki Shokuhou stretched her body. Only after confirming once again that she felt no discomfort did she give him a suspicious look.
Although the initial boost had not been quite so exaggerated, feeling her computational power soar from over ten times its original level to several dozen times was enough to tempt any ability user.
If she continued growing at this rate, together with her parallel progress in magnetic field power, wouldn't even the Number One eventually be no match for her?
However, she had been able to install the first-generation Dream Creator without reservations because everything she had experienced with Roland had given her absolute trust in him, and there was also the justification that this was compensation for destroying the External Brain.
Anyone else would probably feel uneasy about obtaining this power too easily, and might even maliciously speculate about the conspiracy behind it.
Although Misaki Shokuhou
