Sylph froze when Raymond asked her about her skill. Her breath hitched.
“Raymond, you… you… how did you know!?” she stammered, completely taken aback.
She had been so certain she’d hidden it well. No one; not even Lorene, knew. And yet, Raymond had seen right through her.
Arya’s eyes widened in shock. “Wait, Sylph, is that true? Have you really mastered the second stage?”
In the carriage ride earlier, while Raymond had been asleep, the three of them had chatted about magic and training. Arya and Lorene both knew that Sylph had only been practicing ‘Explosion Magic’ for two months. It had already taken her nearly three months to comprehend the first stage after awakening as an adventurer, so for her to reach the second stage in even less time was… incredible.
This wasn’t just talent. It was a testament to Sylph’s extraordinary affinity for ‘Explosion Magic.’
