Rico decided to use an ancient castle that he had built on a remote island as his research facility. There, he conducted numerous experiments to explore the potential of Star Dust.

His findings indicated that through the manipulation of the energy field, it was possible to enhance physical attributes such as muscle strength and density. The technique involved infusing Star Dust into the targeted muscle groups, resulting in a temporary crystallization or hardening of the cells, increasing the defense of that particular body part.

Rico named this technique the Hardening technique and found that it not only increased defense, but also increased the offensive capabilities of the individual. The results of his research showed promise in revolutionizing the traditional methods of martial arts training.

Rico's research delved into the capabilities of Star Dust when utilized in various ways. Through experimentation, he found that when Star Dust is directed towards the brain, it enhances cognitive function and increases overall energy levels.

Additionally, Rico observed that Star Dust could also be utilized as a form of protection by emitting it externally, forming a barrier around the skin. This protective shield was found to be a result of Star Dust's ability to crystalize and harden cells temporarily, thus providing enhanced defense to the individual utilizing this technique. Rico referred to this technique as the "Barrier Method".

Rico's experiments with Star Dust were extensive and meticulous. He continue by analyzing his own blood, looking for any changes in his cellular structure after exposure to the substance. He found that after injecting liquid mana into his bloodstream, there was a significant increase in energy and cognitive function, it was soon slow down as the mana was broken into Star Dusk. Increasing the overall quantity In his body.

These findings led him to further explore the potential applications of Star Dust in various fields, including medicine and martial arts. His experiments and research on Star Dust became the foundation of a new field of study, which he dubbed "Stardust Science".
