A faint realization struck her.
'So that's why…'
That was why the temperature inside her base had always remained stable whenever her power was active.
It wasn't coincidence. It was her aura.
A protective field that made everything within its range resistant to harsh conditions.
Her eyes slowly widened, a soft glimmer forming within them.
"I never noticed…" she whispered. 'In my previous life… I never understood this at all.'
A faint smile tugged at her lips. 'This power… is incredible.'
With renewed focus, she turned back to the manual. It instructed her to visualize her power...
Not as something abstract, but as something tangible. Like a drawing.
At first, Ivy struggled. Her mind felt blank no matter how hard she tried to picture it.
Frustration crept in. "Why can't I see it…?"
But then, as she reread the lines carefully, she finally understood.
She didn't need to imagine it out of nowhere... She needed to trace it.
