As soon as Daneel got to the cottage, he noticed a familiar smell in the air. Knocking on Master Jonah's door, he tried to figure out just what it was. Although it was very similar to the honey trap solution, it was somehow different.
"e in!"
Hearing the yell, Daneel opened the door and walked in to find his master bent over a jar of honey.
A thoroughly burnt bird was beside him, and he seemed to be cutting off pieces from the bird and mixing it in the solution.
Near him was a barrier which protected a single block of Ether. Just as Daneel entered, he deactivated the barrier with hopeful eyes.
Yet, a disappointed look appeared on his face seeing that not one mosquito entered the solution. Eight of them started munching on the Ether block, making Master Jonah cast a gust spell to shoo them away before reactivating the barrier.
"This damn solution! How does it work?! If only I figured this out, I could do so much more with it!"
At the doorway, Daneel chuckled secretly seeing his master's futile attempts. If his solution could be figured out so easily, then someone would have hit upon something similar a long time ago.
Turning around, he noticed Daneel and said, "Oh, Daneel. What did you e to find me for?"
Without a word, Daneel raised his palm, making a two feet long snake of lightning appear in front of him.
The number of elementary particles a mage could control was decided by his level. Now, with Daneel's 4th Grade Eminent Human Mage power, he had e a long way from being able to create just small sparks of lightning only a few inches long.
Seeing the crackling lightning, a glint shone in Master Jonah's eyes.
"You broke through! A new record, I see. So you don't just have pseudo-legendary potential after all. Well, that was pretty obvious after finding that Kellor supported you. So? Did you just e to show off?"
Hearing this, Daneel was reminded of the last time he had asked for a spar. He had just broken through to a 3rd Grade Human Mage, and he wanted to see just how powerful he had gotten. Not finding a suitable partner, he had chosen to ask his master.
A few minutes later, he found himself lying on the ground butt first with a blade of ice at his throat.
What was frustrating was that his master had used exactly the move Daneel did during the first year assessment. His leg had been pushed back by a strong gust of wind, and an ice prick appeared at his throat, sealing his defeat.
Daneel had had his elementary vision enabled, thus he saw that the true reason he had lost was that the gust somehow influenced the elementary particles around it, making it many times stronger and thus giving Daneel no chance to resist. It was the same effect he had seen the first time he met this man.
Daneel didn't even know the exact level of his master, but it left a bad taste in his mouth that he was defeated without even putting up a fight.
This time, he had a plan.
"I want a spar, and if I manage to hurt you, I want to know when the Church will attack the palace.
