It was the pungent smell of car gas and humidity that somehow kept Sebastian's groggy person awake. He had spent a long night previous doing extensive research on the nature of reishi particles and how they can be manipulated for various purposes. A lengthy night of keeping his Fullbring released in order to grasp exactly how these particles could be tampered with in order to suit a variety of purposes left him sleepy. Though, he had a long day of work ahead of him. Aside from doing his own personal research, his job was research based as well, and he was put on assignment to find books related to medicine, specifically on cells and cancer. Interestingly enough, Sebastian was quick to try and discover a way to link the physical concept of cells and cancer to the spiritual concept of reishi.

Walking down a busy street, floral print tie flowing in the wind, thoughts of how to bridge the gap between the physical world and the spiritual world occupied his mind. The sun beamed down piercing through intricately shaped clouds, creating a mosaic of sorts of shadows and light. It was one of those instances where nature decided to paint the earth with a work of art.

"Maybe, reishi can be manipulated to replace cells. That way, amputees would be able to grow entirely new limbs. It can be utilized to stunt the rapid generation of cells that eventually develops into cancer."

It seemed as though Sebastian had reached a minor breakthrough. However, further investigation would have to be done in order to figure out how to exactly graft reishi particles onto a human being. He continued walking, hand lightly placed on the back of his head, softly scratching it as he made his way down an especially busy intersection. The local library just across.

"There are humans who don't have spiritual energy, trying to force their bodies to integrate reishi into their system might have a counteractive response and further debilitate them. But, maybe if you slowly introduce reishi into their system and give them time to integrate it... Then they'll be able to more readily replace cells and eventually limbs."

It seemed as though Sebastian had come to a minor discovery, however he needed more knowledge of how biology operated in order for him to effectively bridge the gap between the spiritual and physical world in the realm of science. However, mind was working faster than his body was... But not in the current, present place he was in right now. He continued walking, paying no attention to the hysteric traffic zooming back and forth. As he crossed, the loud, blaring sound of an SUV shook him out of his science-induced mental stasis. His head shook rapidly as his attention came upon the huge vehicle only but a few seconds away from slamming into him. He made a dive forward the car just barely missing him as it continued to honk wildly down the street. He rolled forward onto the sidewalk.

Sebastian sat up, hair now even messier than it was usually. There were onlookers staring at him as if he was some kind of circus freak.

"Welp. I need to pay attention next time..."

He stood up, patting himself down and dusting himself off.

Sebastian continued into the library, a massive, modern library with two floors. He perused the establishment, looking for the medicine section. Stumbling upon it far away from the entrance, he continued up the aisle. He ran his fingers across the backs of the books, searching for anything related to cells and cancer research. He stopped halfway when he found a book entitled "The Biology of Cancer," it piqued his interest as his eyes widened slightly. He pulled the book off the shelf, reading it casually.

"Tumor suppressor genes are also involved in controlling cell growth and division." A section of the book read. "Cells with certain alterations in tumor suppressor genes may divide in an uncontrolled manner."

"I see. So tumor suppressor genes are the driving force behind regulating cell growth and division. Its failure leads to the eventual development of cancer. If reishi is injected into those genes, they can be strengthened..."

Sebastian continued reading, face dug into the book, deeply focused on the nature of the human body, attempting to conjure up a means of bridging the physical world and the spiritual word. He knew there was a way. He just needed to get over the hurdle of ignorance.

We Move Forward.

A young man held a simple book on the table before him, seemingly studying its contents. If you were to take a closer look then one would find that this young boy was fast asleep, instinctively keeping the book propped up so that for anyone to see him from most angles, he would seem like any other student. The day had been tiring from the word go. He had to wake up before sunrise in order to go out for a run since he would not have time later in the day to train so he was made to do it when he could.

This did not mean that he had to enjoy all of it as it was more work than anything. Something that had to be done out of necessity rather than enjoyment. His breathing was light and his breathing was even but his conciseness was not there. He dreamt of being in a classroom, one of the many he had visited that very day, full of students and a teacher writing on the board of just was elements made up gold and copper and why copper was such a good conductor. Lee was sitting at his desk and trying to write all these things down. All of these large words were not things that stuck in his head and with the addition of a new element or scientific term, something else got pushed out.

This dream would slowly begin to fade to nothingness as reality began to set in. His vision was blurry at best but slowly began to clear as the words of the book began to come into focus. "Science." He would let his head tilt to its opposing side and rest against his arm in a tired frustration. He would take in a deep breath as he would raise his head up and sit up in his chair in a now proper posture. He would then lean back and move his hands to the back of his head as he looked up at the ceiling with a sigh.

He would then push his heels onto the floor and push his chair backwards on two legs as his head would also fall back to see the world in an upside down manner. He would then blink several times before letting his chair fall back down onto its legs and he would push it out and take a stand, quickly raising a hand up into the air in a light wave "Sebastian! What are readin today?"

"...White blood cells help fight infection from germs and begin to repair the wound..." Sebastian continued reading, making sure to analyze every line of this text in order to fully grasp this topic and learn how to effectively experiment with it. "Red blood cells help create collagen, which are tough, white fibers that form the foundation of new tissue."

It was there that Sebastian's eyes widened with an "A ha!" expression on his face. He reached into his backpack, pulling out an old, beaten, and worn notebook. He flipped through it to find space to write in among all the scribbles and illegible writing. Coffee stains littered this book. He knew he would have to purchase another one soon, but this finding was too good to pass up for simple aesthetics.

"Incredible. If I could find a way to introduce reishi particles into the system and have it speed up the process of how red blood cells create collagen, I could easily stabilize breathing, close wounds, and even regrow new limbs without having to put a patient or an injured person under the knife. This would increase productivity in hospitals by such an incredible margin."

Sebastian excitedly scribbled his thoughts into his notebook while speaking them to himself. Thankfully he said it at a volume that only he could hear, else he would look quite insane to the general public. It's bad enough knowing that scientists have a horrible reputation for being mindless savages who get extreme satisfaction from putting others under the knife just for the hell of it.

As Sebastian continued writing, swinging his eyes back and forth between his notebook and the textbook, he heard a familiar voice attached to his name.

"Sebastian! What are readin today?"

Sebastian looked up, swiping a few strands of hair away from his face and to the back of his head. After a few seconds of searching, his eyes zeroed in on an equally familiar face waving to him. The shaggy auburn hair, golden brown eyes, and slim stature was all too familiar to him.

"Lee buddy? That you? Hey there!" Sebastian waved back with a gleaming smile on his face. He gathered his books and walked over to his dear friend

"I'm reading about blood cells. I've been trying to figure out how to combine the use of reishi particles in tandem with medicine and healing." Placing his textbook and notebook on the table, he pointed to a picture of red blood cells in the textbook with an ecstatic smile. "And I think I just found my big break."

"What brings you here, partner? Class?"

We Move Forward.

The young man was actually not all that surprised that he would find Sebastian in such a place. The library was a place of knowledge and learning and Sebastian seemed ever eager to do both. Lee wasn't even sure how one could do such a thing and still be considered human. It was above him the things that his friend would study up on and it seemed very alien to him but he could catch a few things here and there but it was also few and far between on said subjects for him to say he was anywhere near that kind of mental caliber. Lee did enjoy his company as well as the friendship.

When his presence was noticed he would come to a stop as Sebastian would make his way over to him and give a small greeting. Lee would then let his eyes wander downward at the book Sebastian would call attention too and listen to just what it was he was reading about and for the most part, he was actually able to follow as the use of big words was spared upon him. It would be then that he would be asked just what he was doing in such a book hardy establishment to which he would raise up his own generic science book like a wore-torn prize. "Yeah, you guessed it. Falling a bit behind in the science department so I'm tryin to brush up n some stuff and hope it'll help."

He raise the book up and over his head and hold it in both hands as he rested the back of his head against it as if to keep it propped up. "I don't see how you do it man. My head only has so much space before something has to get kicked out. I'm going to forget how to breath at some point but hey, I'll know what elements make up oil so I call that a win."

"Young one, you've gotta catch up on your studies! You're only at the easy part. Just wait until you have to sit and analyze theoretical physics and quantum mechanics for about 800 pages in one week. You'll want to leave and be a professional archer. Even myself as a long time researcher and scientist can find this profession a bit boring at times..." Sebastian explained behind a light chuckle. He was always the one to be one hundred percent honest with his friends and colleagues about his profession. It was not out of malice, but to put into perspective the nature of his work. Science isn't always the big breakthroughs that cure diseases every day, or fashioning a new super-weapon that could level an entire continent.

"But. Being that we're spiritually potent beings, this is when science actually becomes interesting. The ability to break down the barrier between the physical world and the spiritual world. It's incredible to see the potential in the world once you add a little bit of magic to it. Haha."

Sebastian wanted to drive that point home, hopefully to pique Lee's interest.

"It does take a lot. Sometimes I forget what research I've started, then I come back to hundreds of pages of notes unfinished." Sebastian responded while lightly running his index finger through his hair, grazing his temple. "You should see the projects I have planned..." At that moment, a metaphorical exclamation mark appeared over Sebastian's head, signaling another idea hitting him. His eyes widened slightly with excitement. "Say... You're one a Quincy, right?!"

Sebastian acted before even getting a word out in an answer. He reached over to the book Lee held over his head, and clapped it closed, hoping it wouldn't break a finger. It was then that he gazed over his auburn-haired companion with a wide grin.

"You. Can help me out!"

Lee could literally feel his head starting to get lighter and lighter and the world begin to spin at the mention of quantum mechanics and eight hundred pages within the span of a single week. He knew if he needed to batten down the hatches for an exam or test, he could remember just enough to get some sort of passing grade but Sebastian was in a league of his own that Lee just simply could not fathom. He knew professors and teachers that lacked when compared but it was one of things that Lee did enjoy about him.

Sebastian would then speak of the endless possibilities open to them and them alone when it comes to barriers of the human and spiritual world and how it could very well be considered magic. Lee would nod his head in agreement to the statement as it had plenty of merit. It was even a bit of a refreshment to know that even Sebastian had a limit to his attention span when it came to science. It was then that Sebastian's face changed to that of one with an idea, one that Lee had seen more than once and he asked if Lee was indeed a Quincy and before he could speak, Sebastian snatched the book closed to which Lee quickly snapped his hands in front of himself and into one another. Lee would blink several times as Sebastian would state that Lee would be able to help him.

"I...might?" He didn't know what he had planned but Sebastian usually knew what so Lee would see where this would lead.
