"Wh... what?" — Arabel asked, not understanding Alois' question.
She knew that her new sword technique, which she had obtained after the ascension trial, was related to aura.
Like Idan, after several attempts, she learned to sense this aura and use it at a level that allowed her and Idan to apply the basic techniques of their styles.
To master moremplex techniques, they need to achieve a new level ofntrol over the aura. Most of the skills and abilities were beyond their reach.
Alois' question about how they learned tombine aura with the elements also baffled them.
"Can't Nemo do that too?" asked Idan, looking at Nemo, puzzled by Alois' words.
Nemo, hearing Idan's question, shook his head negatively.
"He can't," Eulalia answered for Nemo.
"He's justmbining his swordsmanship and shield skills with his magic. He doesn't know or know how to use aura yet."
Looking at how the two of them didn't seem to realize what had just happened, Alois felt like he was about to throw up.
"How is this possible? This is wrong!" he exclaimed.
Alois began to suspect that theuple was faking it to keep the secret. His gaze changed, and he began to look at them with hostility.
Seeing how Alois's behavior had changed, Eulalia realized that he had misunderstood them.
"Mr. Alois, do you know who these two are?" she reminded him, trying tonvey that they came from another world. It wasn't a secret, and Alois, like his disciple, should have known it. 𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑝𝘶𝘣.𝑐𝘰𝘮
It was only after Eulalius reminded him that he finally realized who thisuple was. In his excitement and surprise, he hadmpletely forgotten about it.
"Did you reallyme from another world?" he asked, wanting to personally verify the truth of the rumors.
Idan and Arabel exchanged glances, and then just nodded,nfirming his words.
There was no point in hiding the truth, so they calmlynfirmed these rumors.
When he saw that theuple nodded affirmatively, he breathed out a sigh of relief.
"You're human, aren't you?" Alois asked.
—Yes, we are humans," Idannfirmed. Arabel nodded, agreeing with him.
What was surprising was that Nemo nodded too.
Idan, Arabel, and Eulalia looked at him in disbelief.
The poor guy stillnsidered himself human, not realizing that he didn't actually belong to the human race.
Then the three of them looked at each other and decided not to go into details.
The master said she would tell them everything when they found a way out of Limbo. She isnvinced that now this knowledge is not as important as finding a way out. In addition, they cannfuse Nemo and create additional difficulties.
"You don't realize what just happened, do you?" he asked with some relief, learning that thisuple, like himself, belongs to the human race.
"No, we don't understand," Idan replied, still trying to figure out what had so startled Alois, a man of the "Diamond" rank.
Were the new sword techniques they had acquired really that amazing?
Theuple only assumed that his interest was probably aroused by their swordsmanship. And the way he carried the sword on his back clearly testified to his high skill in handling this weapon.
"I already asked earlier: where did you learn tombine two such different types of energy — aura and mana?" Alois repeated his question. And then he realized that he had missed something important: "How can you use magic?"
After this question, everyone was amazed. Even Eulalia and Nemo were surprised.
Even both of them, having met thisuple, forgot about the simple truth: in this world, people cannot use magic from birth.
"Howuld I forget? After all, humans are not capable of using magic," Eulalia said, looking at Idan and Arabel.
From the very beginning, she didn'tnsider them human. They were strangers in this world, and she didn't associate them with the human race.
Now that they hadnfirmed their identity as humans, it amazed Eulalia. She taught them the basics of magic, and they, like the other races familiar with mana, calmly accepted her lessons and learned how to use magic.
"Maybe people from another world are different from us?" suggested Liam, a disciple of Alois, who had previously been silent and only listened to thenversation.
After hearing Liam's words, everyone readily agreed with this assumption. Theyuldn't understand why thisuple had so easily learned how to use magic as members of the human race.
Theuple themselves calmly listened to them. They knew that the reason for all this lay in their System. However, theyuldn't explain it without revealing the secret of the System. So when Liam made his suggestions, they jumped at the idea too and joined the generalnsensus.
"Do people in this world really not know how to use magic at all?" asked Arabel, surprised by this fact.
Sheuldn't understand how in such a magical place where magic existed, people hadn't found a way to master it. After all, although people cannot feel it directly, the very knowledge of the existence of this type of energy has already given them a reason to try to master it.
If people in her world found out about the existence of the so-called mana and if they managed to meet representatives of other races whould use it, they would probably find any possible way to use it.
"It's verymplicated, girl," Alois said with a heavy sigh. "People are born without magic, but there has long been a group that strives to master it. However, before I came to this world, there were rumors that this group had found a way to teach people magic. But before it was proven and rgnized by society, I ended up here. Therefore, until this theory isnfirmed, it is believed that humans do not possess magic."
Well, that's anothernversation. Now it seemed to Idan and Arabel that people from both worlds were no different from each other.
There will always be people in the world who strive to learn new things. It is thanks to such people that their world has made incredible progress, despite the absence of magic and other amazing phenomena.
