263 Aces Plan (1/2)

Ace decided to tell his secret as it will be very difficult to lie with these people who were aware of his Divine Sense and his Void Phase that he can no longer use. There was also his Astral Core which ultimately given him a different form of energy that he can no longer show.

These people were sensitive to foreign energies so it will be hard to trick them with mere words.

In fact, there was not a single hint of such energy within his body so these people who had joined him in the operation would easily identify the difference.

He can tell them that many things had changed after going to the northern continent but aside from that, he was also unsure of what more to say about the events that truly happened when 'he' decided to be left behind in that tower.

”Well, so that's the reason why I'm unsure what happened to my Master as well... Right, can we keep this a secret?”

Ace said as he smiled awkwardly to the group. They were probably thinking whether he was saying the truth or thinking if what he says was truly possible. It wouldn't be a surprise if these people were doubtful of his identity.

Even though they were in a world where magic exists, cloning a person was still deemed as an impossible feat.

They can obviously tell that the one in front of them wasn't a different person because he has the same mana fluctuation and soul energy to the Wallace they know.

”This... so you're telling me that he was prepared to stay there for a longer time, huh...”

”Haha... Maybe he just joined your rescue operation as it was convenient for him to travel using your aircraft?”

”That might be so... He was well prepared and could battle any chimeras or mana beasts that come in his way. He can even sense the Celestial Beings...”

”He could?”

”Yes... There was a time where we have to take a longer route to avoid a resting Celestial Being. We didn't sense their presence but Wallace at that time was able to use an unknown method to do so. It was impressive...”

”That's very convenient...”

”Now that you said that, I saw him with his greedy eyes before while he was looking at one of the floating islands caused by Mana Calamity.”

”You saw one? That's amazing!”

”Haha... We were lucky. Unfortunately, we didn't have the time to visit it as we are too focused on rescuing you...”

”I'm already happy that I survived my first and last visit to that continent... They said that the Celestials would only be present at the center of that land, but we were actually blocked by one not too far from the edge of the mainland! That was scary!”

It was Clint who had been severely injured after one of the Celestials decided to play with them. He couldn't forget the near-death experience he had with just a flick of that creature's finger.

”Ace... Are you also aware of the logbook?”

Yumi asked after they were left alone. They were now walking back to Wallace's classroom so he can attend his class.

”The prince's logbook? Yes... What about it?”

”I had an answer with Grandma Thea-- I mean, my superior... She wanted to cooperate using all her resources about your plans if what was being said in the book was real... No, I think that she was already convinced that it was real... However, she wanted to know how can she help...”

Yumi looked at Ace seriously.

If he was faking his identity, then he would be unaware of what she was saying but since Yumi felt that this Wallace can be trusted, she didn't mind telling more about it. Seeing Ace's reaction, she was sure that he was aware of the content of that logbook.

Ace thought for a moment as he couldn't really say what they should do at this point.
