"Indeed," Veydris agreed. "Which is why we must train—not just to extend the time limit, but to refine Craig's efficiency. If he can use his Magicore more effectively, he won't need to reach full synchronization to access Prismatic Convergence's true potential."
Ingi finally spoke. "Then, if I understand correctly… the more Craig and Veydris synchronize, the less energy will be required to maintain Combat Mode?"
"Precisely," Veydris confirmed. "And eventually, we may reach a state where Unison is no longer a temporary ability—but a permanent evolution."
The air in the room grew heavy at his words.
A permanent evolution.
Fafnir exhaled. "Heh. That's a hell of a goal."
Zarathorak crossed his arms. "A goal that requires real battle experience. Theory won't be enough. You need to be forged in combat if you want to achieve that level of mastery."
I nodded, my heartbeat steadying. Five minutes. It wasn't enough—not yet. But now, I understood.
