Magecraft Madness (3)

"Gorgodio."

The moment my old comrade's armor appeared, I reflexively reached out. It was exactly the same—the very armor he had worn when we fought together to defeat the Child of the Stars.

And he was the very one I had killed with my own hands.

A voice full of confusion.

"Tell me your name. Are you Gorgodio? Or Park Sangjun?"

"I-I am Park Sangjun..."

I had considered the possibility that he might be 'replaced' by Gorgodio, but that was not the case. It seemed he had simply been granted the ability to summon Gorgodio's armor.

Was the Fragment of the Compatible One literally an item that granted superpowers?

Did all the ability users in the Management Bureau possess fragments like this? Did extracting a fragment turn them back into ordinary people, while implanting it again turned them into ability users...
