Hunter Zol's question about whether his stored mana could do anything besides defusing into his cells suggested that there had to be more to having mana. It couldn't be that dormant without a reason.
Naturally, as an awakened being, he understood how mana worked, given that countless studies had been undertaken to discover its limits. While there was still more to uncover, what they knew thus far was substantial.
In class, Alexander's instructors explained how mana worked. Because of this, Alexander tried everything he had been taught, but still had not discovered anything else.
'This could also be because of my low level,' Alex sighed to himself, catching the attention of Hunter Zol.
"Alex, don't worry too much. I'm sure sooner or later, you'll find a way. In the meantime, I'll see what I can do on my end as well." Saying this, his mind went back to the self-frozen woman.
That woman might be the key to understanding the way Alex's powers work.
