‘So what does pan-rozum actually do?’ said Hector. ‘Just make the servant faster and stronger?’

‘No. That was a byproduct of Harper’s ability being what it is. Pan-rozum allows the user to assimilate attributes of different ability types. For a brief period of time, that is.’

‘Eh... I’m still not sure what you mean...’

‘Well, for instance, Harper was able to meld the properties of his alteration ability with that of both the transfiguration and the integration types. He took the bodily attribute of transfiguration, as well as the conversion attribute of integration.’

‘Uh...’

‘In other words, pan-rozum allows a servant to break down the barriers between the different types of abilities and merge them together. That’s how Harper’s ability could change from just manipulating light to... actually BEING light.’

‘Wait, what? You’re saying Harper converted his body into... light particles or something?’

‘Basically, yes. And not just that, either. Thanks to the integration attribute, he was also able to restore his body back to its original state afterwards, and that’s not easy. In fact, nothing about that is. The whole thing is a ridiculous accomplishment. I’m still a bit awestruck, I guess. The amount of training that the two of them must have done... If Harper’s really only a servant of his twenties, then that is absolute madness.’

‘Couldn’t he have joined the Vanguard later, like after being a servant for a while?’

‘Possibly. It’s uncommon for servants to wait so long to pick a side, but yeah. He does seem to have a special arrangement with his rank, too, so maybe you’re right.’

‘Hmm.’

‘Honestly, with pan-rozum activated, Harper’s ability is one of the strongest I’ve ever witnessed.’

Hector blinked at the long stretch of road ahead of him. ‘Really? Three thousand years, and Harper’s one of the strongest EVER?’

‘That I’ve personally seen,’ Garovel reiterated. ‘But yes. I’m not sure you understand the caliber of warrior you’ve just met and fought alongside. He may be the fastest human being who has ever lived. The speed of light is pretty much the top of the mountain on that one.’
