Astron remained silent for a moment before finally responding, his tone as dull as ever. "We're not talking about our own abilities," he stated flatly. "This is just a randomly assigned profile, remember?"
Lucas blinked, before letting out a small chuckle. He caught that fast. Most students simply treated the exercise as a way to compare real strengths and weaknesses, but Astron had immediately pointed out the intended nature of the lesson. It wasn't about themselves—it was about assessing a theoretical profile.
Without missing a beat, Astron continued. "But if we're following the assigned profile…" His violet eyes flickered to the tablet again, scanning over the statistics before speaking. "This individual has a strong affinity for combat adaptability and physical reinforcement but lacks a refined mana signature. That means his reinforcement ability likely prioritizes raw strength over efficiency. If that's the case, artifacts that optimize mana flow would be beneficial. A mana circuit optimizer or an attunement glyph would reduce energy loss during reinforcement."
Lucas watched him closely, his smile unfaltering, but inside, he was quietly impressed. Huh… not bad. Even though this wasn't a particularly difficult exercise, Astron's ability to assess and pinpoint optimizations with precision stood out. Unlike other students who might have just thrown out generic suggestions, Astron had considered the logical next steps, showing a surprising level of insight.
