Meanwhile, Elliott was still soaring through the hallways, forcing himself to stop when he reached Adam''sboratory.


    The assistant opened the door and eyed Elliott curiously, asking, "Mr. Elliott! Is something the matter?"


    Elliott didn''t answer, ncing anxiously in theboratory. The assistant got worried and tried calming him down, "Mr. Elliott? Is there anything I can help you with?"


    "Where''s James? Isn''t he supposed to be in theboratory?" Elliott asked, grabbing the apprentice''s arm.


    "Mr. James? He applied for leave not long ago."


    "Damn it!" Elliott yelled, pping his forehead.


    Elliott barged into theboratory, darting towards Adam''s office. If Adam is willing to do something, maybe he can save James'' life.


    However, the person sitting inside the office was the devil, and Elliott''s hopes and dreams shattered into a million pieces, "My master is presiding over the experiment, - he ordered me to not allow anyone to disturb him."


    Elliott sat down in the office and sighed, telling the devil about James. Unexpectedly, the devil rolled their eyes and said, "Although the master is busy, I''m still here. Let''s go!"


    ...


    In his experiment room, after three full months of tweaking the results, he found a new empirical method suitable for his current situation.


    He remembered that the concept of ''magic'' was present in the neenth century back on Earth, finding that many experiments took into ount the hypothetical ''ether''. However, since Earth didn''t have any magic or ether, those experiments were cast aside.


    However, he could test these theories in the Mage World.


    His subsequent experiments went rtively smoothly.


    Over the course of the experiments, he found that his previous failures were attributed to ether not being fully incorporated in the experiment. Combining the umtion of research in the past ten years, he was able to instruct his senior assistants to carry out one test after another in a rapid and orderly manner.


    The active ether environment made the assistants uneasy, but nobody was willing to leave. With conclusions being established, they all realised that an unprecedented theory was about to be born, and none of them wanted to miss out on it.


    Korver almost died because of these experiments, and Adam forced every assistant to equip a detection device to prevent them from exploding in the ether-rich environment. Once the device rings, an alchemy puppet will eject them out of theboratory.


    "Experiment #1 is sessful, and we established a conclusion!"


    "Experiment #2 is sessful as well, Mr. Adam!"


    Adam received all of the conclusions gathered, working hard toe to a final conclusion.


    [LAW OF ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION, ESTABLISHED IN AN ETHER-RICH ENVIRONMENT]


    "Regardless of the existence of insting substances, as long as there is an electric field, ether will be present. The magnitude of the discement is proportional to the strength of the electric field. When the discement of the charged particles changes with time, a current will be formed, and the discement current confirms this."


    "A maic field will be generated, which means the equations will tally..."


    Adam continued writing, and when he wrote thest letter on the paper, his body was enveloped in light as he was forcefully suspended in the air.


    The gift from the ether descended upon him, prating into his soul. Runes shone brilliantly as mysterious rays of light appeared out of thin air, merging into his soul. Electricity and maic fields started to revolve around Adam, and he could feel his soul transforming in real time. Adam clenched his hand, feeling his soul copsing and reorganising into a perfect form.


    This affected the assistants present as well, and their rms sounded one after another as they were ejected out of theboratory.


    "We''re sessful!" the assistants shouted outside. "We jointly verified new knowledge! We... we did it!" A faint etheric radiance remained on the assistants, blessing them.


    They couldn''t help but be excited. They knew they were just one of the countless ordinary apprentices in the Mage World, hoping on a miracle to be lucky enough to be a qualified mage.


    But today, with their joint efforts, they managed to confirm electromaism, bing the creators and witnesses of a great field.


    Korver felt that his mental power was unprecedently active and growing rapidly, wisdom gracing his soul. His previous unsolved thoughts were solved in an instant.


    "Mr. Adam... is he a qualified mage now?" an assistant asked.


    Nobody doubted this, feeling the wonderful presence of ether radiating from within theboratory. "He must be! From today on, we are assistants in a qualified mage''sboratory! Maybe we can be great people too!"


    However, as soon as he spoke, the presence of ether dissipated immediately from within theboratory, and all of them looked at the entrance to theboratory in horror.


    "...what?"


    "No -- is the theory wrong? Does it not exist?!" Korver shouted.
