The weightlessness from falling from the sky was but an instant.
Ronald didn't have time to savor this bungee-jumping-like experience, as the next second, his feet were already stepping back onto the floor.
By the time everything in his vision cleared,
he found himself back in the Data Research Society's underground laboratory.
As Ronald made his choice,
the illusion brought about by the trial of the "original" vanished quite abruptly.
It was at this moment that the blue magical energy, which had been teetering on the edge of a rampage, began to converge rapidly around Ronald and finally gathered in the palm of his hand.
When the dust settled, a book with no reaction whatsoever was held in his grasp.
"..."
"So it is as I thought..."
Ronald looked down at it.
Indeed, the artifact he now held in his hands was the same one he had just encountered in the trial, the book that Harl had riskily experimented with before.
— Daedalus' Book.
