Episode 145 – Reunion (2/2)
Kiel looked at the encouraging s on her calm face, then he looked down at the bottle of pills in his hand, and hison a nonchalant attitude when you are clearly worried sick?
Well… forget it… Kiel shook his head wryly; both his heart and face couldn’t help but ware inquisitive eyes, yet his sliers unconsciously patted her red head The feel of the silky red strands was nothing short of addicting
Elaru stared at the side of Kiel’s face, feeling his warers on her head A conflicted expression flashed briefly on her face tinged with sorrow, before she once again covered it up with a bright smile
When Kiel mentioned his sudden ability to see the spell as if he was seeing it through her eyes, Elaru didn’t havelike that in the near future” – was her conclusion “It obviously puts a lot of strain on the body It is possible that you forcefully activated some ability for which our bond isn’t ready yet I feel that our bond sustained soe in a backlash It’ll take some time for it to recover to its previous state”
That’s when Kiel realized that thehad decreased And then he felt very, very glad that the mana exam had already passed
“What kind of ability do you think it is? Is it possible that the bond can allow me to use your Aethernea as if it was ood as ed her shoulders and that was the end of that
Instead of lingering on this topic, Kiel had continued his recollection,onto IPOMQ
“This is the first tiranted to you by the Aetherneal bond As for the possibility of it being an Aethernea… it doesn’t reseain, I’m hardly an expert on the matter I aht let alone others” Elaru mused
“What do you mean? How can you not be familiar with your own Aethernea?” Kiel’s eyebrow juives one the ability to see things others can’t see But not everyone who possesses it can see the sa our eyes keener than argel eyes, and all of us can see mana But that is where our siht can zoo cells and tiny particles And then there are others that have the ability to see through all illusions Others still, can see through things… like walls… or clothes”
Kiel’s abrupt change of expression and unconscious covering of private parts didn’t escape Elaru’s eyes She couldn’t help but burst out into a fit of giggles “No, I can’t see through clothes And if I could, I wouldn’t have used it to peep”
After a brief pause to giggle soet to add another jab: “Unless it was so that I can’t control In which case I would have already seen all your assets No need to cover up now”
A grulare was her only response That and hi back his hands fro himself up in a fluster
“Actually, since I don’t knohatPerhaps I can see through things after all” Elaru stroked her chin in thought and teasingly glanced towards Kiel’s lap
He barely restrained the urge to throw so that isn’t active all the time but rather needs to be activated first And I just haven’t figured out how to activate it yet Or perhaps e and accuracy of mana vision? I do have better ht…”
He huifts ie so papa has a theory that all Aethernea have the ability to evolve That after they are strengthened up to a certain point, a new ability would become available to the wielder He thinks that in its ultiht related abilities and even more But because each wielder takes a different route to the top, they activate different abilities at different points in time”
Kiel’s icy blue eyes flashed with suspicion “Since wielders of Aethernea can activate a never before seen aspect of their power then…theoretically, IPOMQ ranted by an Aethernea?”
“Does your body heal at a rate visible to the naked eye?” Elaru blurted out
“What? No” Kiel turned to look at Elaru baffled
“Then you don’t possess the Aethernea of Life” Elaru concluded
Seeing Kiel’s strange look, she elaborated “Each Aethernea has a basic set of abilities that every user possesses So even if you had an Aethernea and awakened an unknoer as a part of its evolution, you would still have access to the basic abilities of that Aethernea”
She paused again, scratching her head “Do you have an extremely keen sense of s the…
“Do you have frequent inexplicable feelings driving you to do strange things?”
Kiel shot a you-can’t-be-serious look her way “Like what? Are youfun of me?”
“I kid you not …uh… wielders of Aethernea of Fate are known for being… lucky They have a keen intuition for danger and fortune” Elaru smiled sheepishly “I suppose you would have surely realized if you had a keen intuition… How about hearing other people’s thoughts? I suppose you can’t do that either?”
Kiel threw her an annoyed glare “If I could hear your thoughts ould I even bother talking to you?”
Cooosebuet it Aethernea wielders are a bunch of weirdos… I certainly don’t belong in that group
Kiel didn’t respond He evenup his hair with her pats
What is this? I guess there is soh the heart! Kiel felt like puking blood Can you not be so direct?!
Seeing her flailing arrieved look that was an ultimate combination of cuteness and seductiveness, Kiel concluded that he had adrettably, let go of her soft cheek
