"You must be thinking about Nina, right?" Newton said as he sat in his armchair, facing Vicente and Lauren.",
He knew that Vicente's focus in life was his little sister, so it was pretty clear why he was there.
"Among other things, yes." Vicente smiled at the professor, who had become an Earth Sovereign while he was traveling in the north of the continent.
Newton explained the situation. "At first, I was going to go with Nina and the rest of the family to Metal City. But with the college moving to that city and the young people who needed to study in the capital, I decided to stay and help out.
Our best teachers have gone to your city, but we need young warriors here even more than in Metal City. Nina's already pretty advanced, so I let her go it alone for now.
She arrived in Metal City a few weeks ago, along with Eve, Nova, and Benson. Until her last update, she was a level 5 Acolyte."
"Oh, a level 5 Acolyte? It looks like she'll soon become a Mage." Vicente smiled when he heard that.
"She'll probably become a Mage before you see her again. Nina is really picking up the pace." Newton commented with a smile.
He felt Nina could have an even better future than Vicente, because she had all his support while he had had to grow up practically from scratch and without help.
"What's your relationship with Nina?" Lauren asked, curious about this guy with the strong magical abilities and various elemental affinities.
"I'm Nina's master, Lauren." Newton looked at Vicente's sister, curious about their journey north.
"Don't be like that! Vicente, you're my brother. What kind of brotherly love is this?"
"It's because I love you that I haven't tried to invade your mind since we realized the problem."
"Take a deep breath, Lauren. My abilities aren't quite the same as Casey's. You'll just feel like I'm giving you a head massage. You won't feel any pain," Newton said as his four pentagrams appeared.
All of Vicente's allies, who had stayed in Seidel Kingdom and advanced in cultivation over the last two years, had gone after their pentagrams. With the start of The Purification almost two and a half years ago, the kingdom had gained a lot of creatures with green pentagrams. This meant that newly promoted Sovereigns didn't have to go far to hunt their new pentagrams.
Newton had added a new ability to his powers since Vicente left. He started using it on Lauren right away, along with his four previous powers.
Vicente watched Newton examine Lauren's body for the next 10 minutes, while the woman only felt fingers massaging her head.
She wasn't exactly relaxed in this situation, but she didn't make things difficult for Newton. She didn't feel any malice from him, and she didn't feel pain.
After a few minutes of work, Newton changed his expression every so often and retracted his hands from Lauren's head and his pentagrams into her body.
"I think I get your sister's situation, Vicente." He mumbled as he walked over, covering his mouth with one hand as he thought about what he'd noticed about Lauren.
"What's the situation with her, professor? How bad is it? Is there anything we can do to help her?" Vicente asked as Lauren focused on Newton.
The gray-haired man was silent for a moment and then said, "Well, I can't say for sure. I'd have to be a Paragon with my fifth pentagram to be sure of Lauren's situation.
But I can say with about a 70% chance that there is a way we can help her recover her memories."
