"Alexa….can you tell me what Core Power do I have?" Glory had asked her, Alexa felt as a mana wave was first send towards her (It felt ticklish), then one had been directed inwardly towards Glory.

"Here it is!" But Alexa didn't have time to answer as Alan barged in with a small little box with a red cross on it.

He quickly ran straight first to Glory, who slapped him in the face while screeching something along the lines of "Don't look!" and "Her! Look at Alexa's hands!" All the while using her hands to cover her chest and nether region…

Silly Glory, covering parts of her body that were already covered by fabric.

"....Alexa, look at me," Alan said in a stern voice as his movement turned weirdly precise; he started covering Alexa's handsies with gauze and bandages, "I need you to focus and tell me, did anything go wrong?"

Did anything go wrong?

"No?" Alexa said shaking her head, "Glory triggered the [Core] as scheduled, and Alexa managed to record it all!"

Yes! She did it!

She now knew how that worked! Sort of…

"Okay…do we need to feed her more? Was it a bad trigger?" Those words made Alexa confused, weren't bad [Triggers]...bad? All her readings indicated that it had worked well.

Core:

Mana Flow Speed: 372.8 m/s (9.5x baseline levels, extreme acceleration detected—far surpassing standard mana-based phenomena.) Mana Density: 1,120 M/m³ (Drastic increase from ambient 65 SP/m³ levels, indicating a volatile surge during formation.) Mana Composition: Pure Mana: 80% Wish Mana: 20% Consciousness Stream Presence detected: Can't gauge effects. Mana Stability: Moderate to High (Soul Core has stabilized, but surrounding soul energy remains active and adapting.) Core Size: 19.6 cm diameter (Medium-high grade Soul Core—potential for self-sustained spiritual evolution.) Core Purity: 89% (Above-average purity—strong condensation of Mana.) Core Type: Primary Type: Soul Type Core. Potential Applications: Current analyses have determined that it can interface to some degree with the Consciousness Stream. Leyline Activation: Unstable fluctuations detected. The leyline beneath the formation site momentarily surged to 220% of normal output before stabilizing.

 

Dimensional Residue: Subtle distortions in local space-time detected. Probability fluctuations suggest passive reality synchronization effects.

Residual Effects: Soul energy density in the region is expected to remain 45% above normal for the next 96 hours. (Localized metaphysical phenomena may persist.)

Core Location: Uterus. Core Formation Time: 77 seconds (Slow stabilization – highly abnormal.) Host Vital Signs: Stable, Elevated Mana Output Detected Internal Mana Flow Speed: 777 m/s (Drastic increase from estimated baseline of ~12 m/s.) Core Density: 666 MP/m³ (Far beyond standard human mana capacity; adaptation required.)

Physical Changes:

✔️ Increased Vitality – Cellular regeneration has slowed down by 12%.

✔️ Enhanced Sensory Perception – Human senses seem to be increasing in real-time.

✔️ Heightened Reflexes – Neural response time increased by 3.5x

✔️ Passive Mana Absorption – Subject is now automatically drawing in ambient Mana at 8.2 MP/m³ per second.

✔️ Natural Core Compression – Core seems to be self-regulating, meaning external reinforcement may not be necessary.

"I….I don't think so?" Glory was the one to answer that question, "I don't feel the need to eat or anything, I feel better than ever…."

Another Mana pulse was emitted from Glory; this time, it focused on Alan; Alexa noticed his Mana behaving weirdly, first pulling the Mana and then letting it go. Glory nodded at him for some reason, as if she had gotten something said in that moment. Weird.

"Then why are you like this? What happened?" Alan asked turning to Alexa as he finished covering Alexa's handsies in gauge and bandages, "And who do we call? I don't mind getting her a Harmonia doctor, but….should we call the Saintsworths first?"

The Saintsworths? Why?

"Why?" Alexa asked, confused, "Alexa is fine; these damages are inconsequential to Alexa's work."

Really, she hadn't fixed them because she was busy finishing collecting data from the mana residue in her arms.

"...Alexa, you are missing the flesh in both of your arms, and I can't even comprehend in how much pain you are, also you haven't explained what happened, that didn't happen with me, so something must have gone wrong," Alan said turning to Alexa as he pulled a weird vial from the weird red box and stuck it into Alexa's neck. "Pain killer."

The killer what now?!?!?

[Analyzis!]

[Components injected include: Morphine, Ketamine, Sufentanil…]

[Analyzis results: Drugs injected will result in pain relief and stress relief, and no harmful side-effects detected.]

Oh….

[Save the chemical components and store!]

[Saved]

What was the question? Ah right, why Alexa's handsies were like this!

"Well…..first, ouchie," Alexa said attempting to move her handsie to scratch her neck, but stopped when both Alan and Glory winced, really. They were a pair of overreaction, Alexa was fine! "Secondly…Alexa knew what would happen this time, so she braced herself for it."

"You knew what would happen? You knew your hands would end like that?" Glory asked, she was still going crazy sending all kind of mana waves around, from time to time she sent a couple to Alexa, each time Alexa gave them a handshake and wondered why she kept wincing when she did so, she was saying hi! Rude!

"Alexa knew it would result in some type of chaotic reaction, she didn't knew her handsies would lose a few kilograms of flesh, if she had known she would have killed the nerve endings from the start," Alexa said nodding sagely at that, really, she should have expecte that since Alan had almost destroyed her cells, "That was one ouchie, Alexa says it's a 5/7 in the ouchie scale."

"... shouldn't it be a ten scale?" Alan asked from the side looking other two weird vials, was he going to inject another one in her? She wouldn't mind!

The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

"Nu-uh, the interweebs friends said it was a meme the 5/7 scale and that Alexa should use it," Alexa said sagely (Again), the interweeb friends knew best after all, "Anyway, Alexa braced for it, that's why Alexa made sure her wiggles were all rooted first!"

Glory shuddered at that and slapped Alan again, Alan had surrendered and merely pulled a new towel and gave it to Glory who nodded while her face seemed to be slowly turning a little redder by the second.

Weird.

"That doesn't explain why you are missing both arms," Alan said shaking his head, "I can imagine what you mean by rooting your wiggles, but that doesn't translate to missing that much flesh, also how are you fine? That much loss of body mass should have sent you into shock."

It should?

"...So that's why Alexa's heart and lungs are complaining that much?" Alexa said tilting her head just a little to the side, that was her patented cute stare, "She was wondering about that."

"....Your what now?" Glory asked as her face changed from going into red to going into white, that was kind of funny.

"Alexa's heart is beating at an irregular pace, Alexa was leaving it alone since it sounded funny, but it is starting to crop some errors here and there so she was thinking about fixing it or not." Alexa said shrugging, "Should Alexa fix it?"

"Yes!" "Yes!" Both said at once.

Yeesh, some people, they didn't need to scream, Alexa was right there!

"Fineeeee…..Core? Time for the Alexa update!" Alexa said…not raising her hand or finger since she still didn't have one.

Core:

Update blueprint to Alexa Saintsworths.bod?

Y/N?

".... That's what Alexa said, update please!" Alexa said repeating to the blue screen that showed in front of her.

"...Alexa…what the hell is that?" Glory said, pointing at the blue screen.

"You can see it?" Alexa said while the Yes selected itself, and the blue screen disappeared.

Oh right, Glory had been throwing those mana waves at her, had one hit [Core] while going towards Alexa?

"That's [Core], she is a nice gal who helps Alexa like [Main Core] does from time to time," Alexa said as her body started shining in blue light, she felt her [Mana] reserves going down as her body was reconstituted to her absolute cutestest prime.

Core:

Update finished.

Alexa was once again….

"...Alexa lost her uniform!" Alexa said as she raised her hands to her face and made a face of utter devastation, she was once again wearing her white sundress, "And my shroomers!"

She was also wearing a normal set of underwear, not Mister Bot and Miss Top! Her fungi underwear was lost!

"[Core]!" Alexa said, raising her fist to the skies in utter defiance.

Core:

Previous clothes got absorbed and decomposed to compensate for missing biomass. A blueprint of both was made prior to their absorption and can be reproduced at a later time.

…..Well that was good, but she didn't want to waste [Mana] on that! She wasn't sure how cost-efficient it was! Besides, what was she supposed to use the [Banked Storage] for then!

Core:

That was when taking into consideration the [Banked Storage] reserves.

Damage due to Mana corrosion requires more energy and materials to be restored; using mana-rich components was deemed more cost-effective than mundane material; the [Uniform] and [Shroomer set underwear] were bathed in Mana-rich environment and were deemed useful for a complete restoration.

…..fine.

"That…does not answer the question," Glory said, still staring in the direction of the blue screen that [Core] was using.

Alexa decided to try and move them around, and Glory's eyes followed them around, that was….fun.

"Well, Alexa doesn't know what to say," Alexa said shrugging, "Core is a nice gal like that, she helps Alexa with her [Core Power] and stuff."

"...That…is not how Core Powers work." Glory said, turning to Alexa, "Is that how you know what Alan and my Core Powers are?"

"I mean…yes?" Alexa said, unsure what to say. She had used part of [Core] to analyze it, but most of the Analysis was from her own efforts….

"So? Can you explain what my Core Power is then? I get some….impression about what it is, but I would like to hear what you have to say, the same for Alan if possible." Glory said, turning to look at Alexa as the last blue screen was dismissed.

"Well…then let's start with Alan!" Alexa said pointing at Alan, his was…what it was…[Core] please!

Core:

Alan Harmonia:

Core Location: Centralized in the Solar Plexus. Internal Mana Flow Speed: 12.5 m/s Core Density: 100 MP/m³

 

Core Type: Body Core

Theorized Effect: Allows the user full control of their body to a cellular level.

"Or so!" Alexa said, nodding proudly at the results of her hard work.

"You said nothing," Alan said shaking his head.

"And I have no idea what that…Core entity is doing, besides stand there…ominously." Glory said, her face seemed to be trembling as if she was fighting to keep a poker face…

Oh, right, Alexa removed most of the things that allowed them to keep control over their facial expressions! Well, except for Alan, who now could do it better than before….

"It says that Alan can control his body however he wants, like Alexa said before, he should be able to do most of what Alexa can do better, well at least the biological stuff anyway." Alexa said shrugging, she really would like to have that one if possible, but she needed some experimentation first to see if she could even reproduce it later.

She had confidence that it was doable, but she wouldn't do it here, she wasn't sure what would happen if two [Cores] that were exactly the same suddenly existed in the same place.

"As for Glory….this one is the best!" Alexa said quite happy at the results of her efforts, "It eroded most of Alexa's fleshy bits, evaporated her blood after boiling it, but it was worth it!"

Core:

Core Location: Uterus. Internal Mana Flow Speed: 20.5 m/s Core Density: 200 MP/m³ Core Size: 19.6 cm diameter

Core Type: Soul Core

Theorized effect: Allows the user to interface with both the essence of a living thing to quantify it, and to interface with the Consciousness Stream.

"Glory should be able to speak with what makes a [Human] a [Human], and a [Monster] a [Monster]." Alexa said nodding seriously serious, "She now can verify if someone is [Human] or not."

"....that is one….very weird Core Power." Alan said, turning to Glory, "As if there are things that aren't truly Human,"

Glory didn't say anything and only stared at Alexa, her lips trembling, "Do you know what the results are from my Core Power?" She asked, staring at Alexa.

"Alexa can imagine," Alexa said nodding, she had heard people say that she was Human, from the metaphysical to the physical. "It says that Glory and Alan are [Humans], right?"

"Yes," Glory said nodding, "It says other stuff too, but it confirms what we are….It also says that you are…"

"Human, while a little weird, and odd, it should state the obvious," Alan said from the side poking at Alexa's arms, "That is one interesting use of Core Powers, you also weigh what an average girl our age should weight, so I assume you used the spare meat you stored?"

Alan knew how much Alexa weighed? How? Was he….was he comparing her body mass with simple pokes? That was…Alexa wasn't even sure how to do that!

He was cheating!

"What do you think it says about you Alexa?" Glory said, hugging herself, "I…I think my Core Power is defective."

"It probably says that Alexa is some kind of monster," Alexa said, nodding sagely, "It should say something like that if it's working right at least, no matter what people say, Alexa knows what she is."

Alexa knew better than anyone else what she was, after all.

"NO!" Glory screamed shaking her head and raising her hands to her head, throwing the towel to the side, "It's wrong!"

"Glory?" Alan rushed to Glory's side hugging the girl, "Calm down, deep breaths, remember what they told us, when getting Core Powers sometimes people misunderstand what they are sensing, your type seems to be of the mental type so more so."

They did?

Well, "Alexa can understand that the [Human] mind isn't designed for sudden information influx after all," Alexa nodded at that; she could imagine the average [Human] not being designed to see ninety-two petabytes of other [Humans] doing weird things to each other.

Alexa still wasn't sure why Alexandra had forbidden Ale and Alexa from seeing that data, she was being stingy! Stingy Alexa said!

"Right….no way that Alexa is….is…." Glory said, shaking and looking at Alexa with tears in her eyes, "Eldritch…"

Eld-what?

"Nu-uh," Alexa said shaking her head too, that word was wrong, "Alexa will never be Eldrach, she may be Eldritchly cute, but not Eldratch."

"Pfff….." Glory laughed at that statement, Alexa felt a last mana wave coming her way, it bounced within her and returned to Glory, at that Glory seemed to come to a decision as she nodded, "Yes….Alexa is the most Eldritchly Cute….Yes….It makes sense…"

?

Alexa wasn't sure what that was about, "Okay, yes...I can live with that," Glory said nodding, "Alan! Get the clearance level four janitor, and make sure no one finds out about what happens here; whoever comes here will earn vacations in a city of their choosing."

"...are you sure? We will burn our allowance for the year." Alan said, looking around the classroom; it was devastated and broken; Alexa could see a couple of crystalizations of Mana in some of the chairs.

"Yes," Glory said nodding, "Unless you want to explain what that weird black gunk is…or where it came, I haven't seen anything about it before, so I assume normal Core Trigger events don't have it…"

"Alexa wants some of it!" Alexa remembered! "One sample from both!"

Alexa also wanted to see what that was!

"....Not going to ask what for, but sure….good thing we both did it in a different spot…" Alan said shaking his head, "Okay, they can be here in five minutes, I'll send them to the shower room too, you can use mine if you want, that way we can limit the areas they need to isolate."

"Good idea, come Alexa, you need a bath too." Glory said, pulling at Alexa from one of her hands; the girl had stopped a centimeter away from Alexa's hand, but in the end, she still took it; what was that about? "Did you leave a change of clothes for me and Alexa?"

"I ordered just one, but Alexa should have one on this floor too, what with being a Saintsworths and all of that," Alan said, shaking his head, "I'll ask for it to be delivered to the stall, Alexa, confirm the order when you enter the shower room."

Wait, Alexa could order new sets of uniforms?!?!? Could….could she order a new pair of shrooomers?

"Have fun," Glory said, pulling Alexa out of the classroom; as soon as they left the classroom, Glory stopped holding the towel so it fell by the side, Alexa being the polite, cute girl she was made sure to catch it, it was Glory's towel, she may use it later!

"Okay….Alexa, we need to talk." Glory said as soon as they walked inside what seemed to be bathroom, Alexa could see some showers but no bathtub, how was she supposed to bath like this?!?!?!

"Okay?" Alexa said, confused. Weren't they talking already?

"You….you aren't human at all, are you?" Glory said suddenly while staring straight at Alexa, her eyes started shining purple light, "You never were Human…..right?"

"........Alexa needs an adult?" Alexa asked, "Also Alexa hadn't seen purple eyes before…."

……Would…..would this be okay?
