The Contrived Scholar

8 Year Timeline

Year 1: The subject has gained motor functions to a degree similar to a functional human. Subject went on a patrol of the city, ran into trouble, and was damaged. The blood of the subject was not visible. Instead, leakage of mana was causing internal damage to the subject. Lucy noted the subject had lost any genitalia or markings of either sex. Note that the subject no longer needed to use the restroom, as well the lack of digestive problems. Nevertheless, the subject still needed to eat when the group reduced funding for the subject's substances. Speaking of substances, healing potions had very little to no effect on the user. As it was restored to no wounds to the body. When using mana potions, the subject seemed to heal wounds. With abnormal muscle contractions when touching the body of the subject. Hypotheses: The Rigor Mortis is delayed by the magic inside the body due to the process. Lucy has found the subject to be “endearing” as it acts its age estimated to be 16 years old. With accounting, the subject still retains some of Ol’den’s previous habits. Such as hugging the pillow while sleeping, calling those of younger ages to respect elderly, losing focus near Lucy, and eating eggs with hands.

Year 2: The subject was tested this year in physical training, with Davis a former colleague of mine to teach the subject. The subject showed proficiency with staff and spears decently well. The subject was able to infuse magic into the weapon injuring the instructor. After the bills were paid, I had joined Lucy for dinner, with a joke about me being the father. I knew it was a joke, so I played along. As the group had prepared a special event for our subject.

Year 3: At the end of the year, we had celebrations for our subjects' major advancements in interbody mana refinement, as well as good grades in the academy. The same academy that the original host had sent his child to. I was sent on a mission to watch over our test subject by Lucy to see the professors there. I agreed only to deliver a package to the first son of Lucy. He was to be quite more mature than I expected from what Lucy said. The professor uses magic in ways to entertain his class. We discussed theories of how magic works and hypotheticals, which then I asked about the subject.  He informed me that the subject is a very developed man in itself. He said it was weird to see an 18 year old speak so formal and mature. Though the professor kept asking me why I call the experiment subject? It never came across me, but then I realized the fatal flaw. The psychological damage caused by students without a name disturbed more than it should have. Though Lucy had it covered the entire time, I just never acknowledged her attempts in small talk about the subject. Lucy had named the subject Luna, I was not impressed and was pestered for several minutes before she stopped hissing at me.
