Ryan wakes up and sees Petra looking at him with a smile as he watches the tube empty itself. He feels it draining down as he landed fully on his feet, he coughs out the liquid, but it re-absorbed into his lungs, but they feel good. Better than how they were before! HIs breathing feels way clearer now! He took a deep inhale and it felt, "Amazing right?" Petra said to him. "Y-Yeah! What did you guys do for it this time? I didn't have to cough it all out...this time. Again." He said remarking the other previous times where it wasn't like this in the past he has been in the tube before. "Well, my sister Amelia put some healing magic in it, and made it breathable with some of my help. I even went in it before as well. It makes your lungs feel amazing for a couple of days, so thankfully you won't have to worry about inhaling smoke for these next few days, or so!" He gave Ryan a smile after.

     "But go sit down for a bit. I have some questions for you." Ryan walked to the seat near the computer Petra was on. "What kind of questions do you have for me then?" He scratched his chest; the liquid was already drying up quickly, but he was still a bit damp and wet in some parts of his clothes. Petra pulled a chair next to Ryan, and sat down on it. "Look. Your mana levels went up. As you know this is extremely dangerous, for you and everyone around you. And I myself might need to take extreme measures to..." He hesitated to say it. "Remove it or at least half of it hopefully. I suggest you don't tell your friends, and Tori. Especially your mother." Ryan looked at him with a look of shock, he looked at the ground with a new look of a face of desperation, "What...what do you mean...?" and fear.

     "This means, you are an actual legitimate threat now. And I really don't want to say this since I didn't say this to Slade when he came into this room when I told him. But we will have to take action to kill you. This means you are more dangerous than ever. More powerful. You are back to exactly how you were as a freshman. And I'm wondering, if you have any idea how this could've happened?" Petra made sure to not say anything that could be the wrong thing to say. He needs to make sure Ryan, and him are safe, and won't be hurt due to a bad way of handling emotions. He paused for a moment wanting to see how Ryan would respond to this mess. "I...What? Wait- This means I'm back at zero now? Rock bottom??" Ryan feels the impending doom starting to crawl up on his back, and shoulders as his heart sank. He gripped the thigh of his pants slightly. "Look, the best I could do for you is that you must wear a bracelet mana/rune blocker, so your powers wont randomly set off at a highly populated area, like a market. It shouldn't take me that long; I think I can do it right now since I have this old one, I'm working on in this drawer right here actually." He pulls the drawer next to him, and looks through it to find it. He eventually finds it after some looking. He takes it over to an area to fix it up while Ryan sits there waiting. Some flickering lights were seen, and then a small beep sound was heard. Petra then came over holding a metal bracelet. "Here, you can unlock it by yourself and lock it whenever you feel like you need to...Do you feel explosive?" Ryan looked up at him with a disturbed face. "Eh, never mind, if you did, you would have exploded by now." He handed it to Ryan. Ryan hesitated to take it at first but he did so anyway. "So, if I do feel like things are getting out of hand for me, I put it on?" He looks at it closely, seeing some anti mana stones. "Mhmm, yeah basically. Just don't break it, or anything like that, nor show it to anyone as well. It's a prototype, and I haven't even shown it to the Higher Ups yet." He scratched his face where there is a little bit of facial hair is. Ryan had a complex look on his face, a mix of concern, and anxiety. "Ryan, you will be fine as long as you use it. Now get outta here! I have work to do, we will talk about this soon. But if you do plan to tell someone, make sure it's someone who you think is trustworthy." He pulls Ryan up, "Oh, right- Go change!"

     "Alright, alright! Jeez!" Ryan goes into the closet. He changed into his other clothes that he was wearing beforehand. He pulls down his blue hoodie- (with no hood, but still having pockets.) while wearing a white sleeved hoodie- (with no pockets.) under, due to his blue hoodie having cut sleeves. He picked up the bracelet again looking at it.
