"When you were testing it just now, did you feel that the mana flowing through several of the patterns inside wasn't quite coordinated?"
Mia's pupils contracted slightly.
"How did you know?"
"Just a guess." Victor smiled. "You can try again. But this time, don't rush to pour mana into it. First, point out the places where you sensed something unusual."
Mia hesitated. She had mentioned similar problems to her instructors before.
However, most of them believed that her insufficient mana control had caused her to develop inaccurate perceptions.
After all, the academy's basic mana testing devices were uniformly calibrated. How could they possibly develop problems so easily?
But looking at Victor's serious expression, she eventually nodded.
"Okay."
The girl placed her palm against the crystal again, closed her eyes, and slowly released her spiritual power.
A moment later, she opened her eyes and pointed toward a spot near the crystal's lower right corner.
"Here."
