18 Explosive Experiments (1/2)

Ultrix sat in his cultivation room trying to furnish a magicule cell. He decided that the best way to integrate a magicule container was to first work on the cell structure.

Reading his handy guide, Ultrix started smithing away.

The process of creating a container was not too difficult, and neither was the runic engraving method.

Soon Ultrix had a small selection of containers made out of different materials, and over-time he had gotten better at creating them.

[Hmm,] Ultrix thought to himself. [This is quite basic indeed]

[I wonder if I could create a container with a medium of magicules?]

With a light wave of his hand, Ultrix quickly sensed the magicules in the air and swiftly started to collect them all.

Soon, Ultrix had a densely packed cubicle of magicules.

[Huh, it does work, doesn't it?] Ultrix thought with a bit of surprise. He hadn't expected it to work when he compiled the magicule energy. He had more or less expected it to expl-

BOOM! The magicule cube in Ultrix's palm exploded before he could even finish his thoughts and the amount of force released knocked him to his feet.

Luckily, he was currently in the cultivation room of his dorm, which was underground.

[Thank goodness I was underground and the blast was contained,] Ultrix thought awkwardly to himself.

[It would have been super embarrassing if I had attempted this kind of stunt where people might've been able to see me!]

[On the bright side though,] Ultrix suddenly realized, [I may or may not have found a cool way of planting invisible explosives!]

Completely disregarding his containers for the moment, Ultrix decided to instead focus on just how far away he can control the magicules.

Taking out a thick sheet of cast iron, Ultrix propped it up in front of himself and welded it to the ground.

Then, he started to gather magicules yet again.

However, he did not manage to get past around the same size as earlier before the cubicle exploded yet again.

Trying, again and again, Ultrix realized that not only did the magicules decrease in density with each subsequent explosion, but it became increasingly difficult to find more magicules in the environment.

Thinking about the matter though, Ultrix realized that it was only natural. After all, it was inevitable that a few magicules would be destroyed in the process.

Although the environment could produce magicules over-time, it would still take a long time. Additionally, Ultrix was currently underground, where the number of magicules would be severely limited.

Understanding such, Ultrix decided the best solution was to use his containers he had just created.

Taking all of his containers with him, Ultrix went outside and started to slowly unlock each container.

Instantly, magicule energy started swirly towards each of his containers until they were full.

Taking his magicule containers back to his room with him, he released all of them at the same time.

That turned out to be a terrible mistake.

Like a water balloon exploding in slow motion, the room's walls started to crack at an alarming rate.

[Damnit!] Ultrix thought to himself. Luckily, he acted quickly and reversed the flow of magicules once again and the energy flowed back into the containers.
