['Dragon God Magic Armor' naming successful!]
"Alright, let's test what kind of magic I can cast with the 'Dragon God Magic Armor' formed by these 360 Magic Circuits."
"Dragon God · Titan Form!"
Lucas's body rapidly expanded, transforming in the blink of an eye into a giant standing over twenty meters tall.
The 360 Magic Circuits roared into action, rapidly absorbing mana from the air, converting it into Lucas's personal magical energy, and refilling his Magic Origin.
"No consumption at all!!"
Lucas felt that the mana in his Magic Origin hadn't decreased in the slightest, and he was instantly overjoyed.
Giant magic was a notorious mana drain; even the Guild Master rarely grew this huge.
Next, he activated "Dragon God · Seraph Form." Three pairs of massive, pristine white wings appeared behind his back. With a tap of his foot, his body shot into the sky at high speed, where he continued testing his magic.
His body felt a slight stinging sensation—the pain caused by the circuits performing their function—but it was manageable.
This time, there was some mana loss, but it wasn't significant. As long as he kept his Magic Origin cycling, that lost mana would recover quickly.
After a while, Lucas returned home.
He was visibly excited. These Magic Circuits were incredibly powerful. With them, as long as the ambient mana in the environment was sufficient—and he didn't use ultimate moves like "Dragon God · Merciless Sun" or spam high-cost spells at high frequency—his mana was practically infinite.
And this was the "Dragon God Magic Armor" built on just one Magic Origin. He had two.
With two Magic Origins, he would have double the "Dragon God Magic Armor." He couldn't even imagine how terrifying his mana recovery would be then.
[Lucas: "@Rin, Little Rin, I've uploaded the modified magecraft. Go take a look."]
[You listed 'Dragon God · Magic Circuit Development Method'!]
[Price: 5,000,000 Group Points.]
[You listed 'Dragon God Magic Armor'!]
[Price: 8,000,000 Group Points.]
[Rin: "Really! That's great! I'm checking the store now!"]
A moment later.
[Rin: "Waaaaah!! ε(┬┬﹏┬┬)3"!!!]
[Kanae: "What's wrong? Little Rin, why are you crying?"]
[Rin: "Lucas-nii is bullying me!"]
[Whitebeard: "Lucas bullied you? Tell me, I'll go beat that brat up!"]
[Rin: "Just look at the store!"]
Several members opened the store and saw the items listed right at the top.
"..."
After seeing the prices, everyone was speechless. They finally understood why Rin was crying.
Even if Little Rin saved 100 points a day—or heck, pushed it to 200 points a day—saving 5 million points would take at least 25,000 days. That was 68 years.
To buy the 8 million point item, she would need about 109 years.
Little Rin was just a child now. In 68 years, she'd be an old woman. In 109 years, she'd be in the grave. There was no point in learning it then.
[Lucas: "Uh... I just listed them. I didn't know they would be that expensive!"]
The store only revealed the price after the item was listed. Lucas himself was a bit scared by the numbers.
[Lucas: "Wait, let me modify them."]
Lucas began to strip down the techniques.
[Comprehension is heaven-defying. You successfully created a new 'Magic Circuit' development method. Please name it!]
"Elementary Dragon God · Magic Circuit Development Method."
[Naming successful!]
[Comprehension is heaven-defying. You successfully created a new Magic Circuit combination. Please name it!]

"..."
The chat group members were speechless again. On one hand, they were stunned by Lucas's perverse comprehension ability. On the other, they were shocked by the exorbitant prices his creations commanded.
[Lucas: "I tried to cut as much as possible. If I cut any more, it won't even be a coherent system anymore."]
At this time, Rin began to read the detailed introduction of the items Lucas listed.
"108 Magic Circuits?!! And he built a system using 108 circuits?"
Rin knew exactly what this meant. She had been educated by her father, Tokiomi Tohsaka, since she could remember.
She had opened quite a few Magic Circuits herself, but 108? She had never even heard of such a thing.
And building a system out of 108 circuits was unheard of. Every system was like a combination lock.
With 108 circuits, acting as 108 numbers on that lock, the number of possible combinations would outnumber the stars in the sky.
The Tohsaka ancestors had spent generations learning and creating to build the Tohsaka system.
But what Lucas provided seemed to be the optimal solution for 108 Magic Circuits.
She didn't understand the other things Lucas sent before; she just thought they seemed impressive.
But she understood this! And the more she understood, the more she realized how difficult it was.
She was deeply, thoroughly shaken by Lucas's comprehension.
Suddenly, she remembered something and immediately went to look at the detailed introduction of the items Lucas had listed first (the expensive ones).
She had been so dumbfounded by the price earlier that she hadn't bothered to read the description.
Now, seeing the development method for 360 Magic Circuits, and the Magic Armor built from those 360 circuits...
She was so shocked she couldn't speak.
At this moment, there was only one thought in her mind:
"This guy... absolutely isn't human!"
