“I don’t think that there are any A-rank ores that can withstand the burden of the river.” Hearing his granddaughter contradict his statement, Lorenzo pointed out the reason why he stated that the metamorphosed could not help in crossing the river. Luna thinks switching the Synonium alloy used to create the MegaMorpher with something more sturdy. They could use the MegaMorpher to cross the river. Lorenzo seemed to have already thought of that and found no A-rank ore or alloy in his knowledge that could withstand the wrath of the river. Hence he declared that MegaMorpher could not be used to cross the river. 

“Hahaha, yes! Finally, working as a researcher at Morningstar university paid off. I know something you do not. Grandpa, it seems you have become outdated. Maybe if you had not skipped your homework after coming out of our lab, you would have known that there is an A-rank ore that we could use for our current situation.” Finally, being able to best her Grandpa after facing decades of suppression by him in the Field of Study Luna let you a victorious laugh. She knew some her grandpa did not know about. Only she knows the feelings she is feeling right now. 

The World thinks of Luna Lorn as a top scholar and top researcher in her field and among her peers, but they did not know Luna’s standards were higher than her peers. Her target was to suppress her grandfather, the Raining Alchemist. 

Lorenzo has been at the top of his field for a few centuries. And he has amassed a lot of knowledge and experience during this period. How could a girl who is not even a century-old compete with him? He is a lot even for his peers, in front of him and his achievements Luna and Her achievements made no difference. Luna’s achievements are significant but comparing them to Lorenzo’s would be foolish, but this was not enough to stop Luna. 

For Luan, her grandfather was the reason she chose the path of Scholar rather than a warrior like the great of her cousins. Luna admired her grandfather, and for her, he was her role model and the target she had to surpass. Luna’s goal is to become the best like her grandfather, and only by surpassing him could she prove that she had become the best as one could be the best after besting the best. 

A monster like Lorenzo cannot be defeated in a day or two, so Luna does not hesitate to celebrate the first small victory she won against her grandfather. This victory may not be significant, but at least now Luna knew her grandfather was not unbeatable. And her hard work was showing results. 

Aiming at Lorenzo, who is considered colossal among his peers despite being a Junior, took a lot of confidence. But as time passed, the confidence alone was not enough as her target became an unshakeable boulder suppressing her spirit. This is the reason why despite being the heiress to a massive empire of the Lorn Family, Luna chose to work as a researcher at one of the top 10 universities. 

“…” Seeing his beloved granddaughter laugh at his mistake Lorenzo was not angry or ashamed. He was happy that she was finally proud of her achievements the same way he was proud of her. At first, Lorenzo enjoyed his granddaughter’s admiration but soon realizing that he became the trauma of his granddaughter Lorenzo did know what to do, but to let her win out of pity would be doing more harm than good. So he let nature take its course. And it was worth it. Today he knew his granddaughter’s achievements would be more outstanding than his. And he hopes he will be alive to see that day. 

Before coming to Sky Blossom City, Lorenzo was busy researching when his nephew Anna’s uncle brought him the discovery of the century, the Silver milk powder. In a rush to meet its creator Lorenzo forgot to update himself about the latest news and breakthroughs in the field of card ingredients research, which gave Luna an edge over him. 

“Are you done? Would you care to share what it is that you know, but this old fool, despite his century’s worth of knowledge, doesn’t know?” Anna knew what Luna was feeling. He felt the same way her grandmother made her the commander of Southern watch. Anna was very open about her feelings, but when it came to Luna, she would turn into a tsundere. Maybe it’s because of the jealousy present between sisters. 

“It’s not Grandpa’s fault. This ore has been just recently discovered… Umm, artificially created should be the right word.” Luna paused, savoring the moment. 

“Well, what is it?” Lorenzo was happy for his granddaughter but being an excellent researcher, a part of him cursed himself for not trying to update himself yesterday night when he had the time instead of ideally meditating. 

“Do you remember the theory about an ore that could take the property of rule power feed to it?” Luna did not answer her grandfather; instead pointed him in the direction of the answer. 

“Memirconium! I thought a researcher from the empire proved that something miraculous as Memironium could not exist naturally.” Lorenzo exclaimed. He had indeed heard about the Memirconium, but it was proved to be not possible. 

“Yes, Memirconium. It was artificially created not long ago” Luna nodded in agreement. 

“Guys, I know you both are excited, but you are leaving me out of it. And I am starting to feel like a fool here. So one of you better explain what you guys are talking about before I get mad.” Anna did not understand what Luna and Lorenzo were talking about and felt left out. Then seeing the two get all excited about their geek stuff, Anna felt like a fool, which did not make Anna feel any better.
