The training of Gray, Roy and Eros continued with great enthusiasm, the two boys showed every minute that they have great potential in them
Gray:So Roy, do as I taught you
Roy:Yes, sir
*Roy approaches a rock and extends his arms*
Roy: Manipulatio materiae: transmutatio!
*The rock starts to glow but nothing happens,Roy begins to shiver with fatigue *
Gray:Check your power, focus, keep calm and breathe
*Roy tries to transmute the rock, but Roy collapses from fatigue*
Roy:*panting* I didn't succeed this time either, damn it!
Gray:Don't be discouraged, it's normal for a beginner like you, the secret is practice,now catch your breath, I'm going to see how Eros is
Gray heads to Eros to see how his training is going
Gray:Frazonid,How is it going?
Eros:Very good Mr. Astanor, I managed to improve my aim, just watch it
Eros throws one of his thick axes at a tree 500m away, hitting it in the middle and knocking it down
Eros:So how am I doing?
Gray:You're doing great, keep it up
Gray takes a moment off
Remy:How are they doing?
Gray:Eros is improving as far as the eye can see, the little prince instead ...I am very worried about him
Remy:What's wrong with it?
Gray:Despite trying hard, he can't even use matter manipulation
Remy:Are you serious? I can understand healing magic, which takes years and years of training, but Matter manipulation is one of the simplest spells to learn
Gray:Still, he can't do it,maybe he can't use magic
Remy:But you saw what he did in boot camp, it's unthinkable that he wouldn't be able to use it
Gray:Wait then, my father told me about a similar thing that happened to him too,let's go to my office for a moment
Gray's office
Gray:Ah, how many hours have I spent on this damned book ... let's see: Sickle cell anemia no, cancer I would say not ... but where the hell was it? ... botulism no,glaucoma is not...Ah here it is,"Abnormes Circulatorii Magiopathy"also called "ACM"
Remy:ACM?
Gray:Oh terrible!
The "Abnormes Circulatorii Magiopathy" it is an extraordinary disease that affects those who are able to manipulate magic.
It manifests as a major anomaly in the circulatory flow of magic,which leads to impairment of the individual's magical abilities.
Remy:Terrible yes, poor fellow
Gray:Wait, there's more,however, unlike other magical diseases, "ACM" has a unique feature: it is potentially curable thanks to a very specific traumatic event.
Significant emotional or physical trauma could trigger a kind of "reboot" in the individual's magical flow.
This trauma can act as a catalyst that breaks the vicious loop of the anomaly, allowing the body to rebuild its connection to magic in a healthier and more harmonious way.
Remy:Simply put, in order for Roy to heal, he has to traumatize himself, right?
Gray:Exactly, but here it is clearly written that it is a delicate process and if you are not careful you risk several side effects,including: fear, pain, anguish, psychological damage,emotional instability, insomnia,traumatic memories,social withdrawal, should I continue?
