103 Its rude, you know. (1/2)

In the carriage, only two people remained. There was enough space for a couple of more people to sit comfortably, so Orsella took one of the corners and rested her back against it.

Since there was no one here, Orsella looked at Ozul's figure with curiosity visible on her face.

Orsella was a curious woman and never jumped to conclusions based on some rumors alone. So unlike others, she didn't particularly dislike the trio which had supposedly just gotten lucky.

Through observation, she was sure that there was something unusual about the trio.

'It just doesn't make sense for them to survive unscathed while even people stronger than them died.'- Orsella thought while look at the Ozul, who had the hat covering his face while he slept without any care in the world.

The only conclusion she could come to was that the man in front of her was probably the key person.

Raven and Blaze were only Rank-5 Mages. And it wasn't possible with the little strength they had to survive what even Rank-7 Mages couldn't.

Another reason that Orsella had allowed the man to use the cart was that she wanted to see if she could get something out of him.

However, instead of talking to her like she had expected, Ozul just went to sleep!

Orsella may not have been the most beautiful woman out there, but her woman's charm would entice hundreds of men. Together with her natural beauty, she was also physically fit, which added another appeal to her.

So she had expected him to be the same as other men and try to start a conversation with her. However, Orsella didn't know that even if she was the number one beauty in the entire world, Ozul wouldn't bat an eye.

Not to mention, Ozul himself had an appearance that would probably shame the gods.

Only Orsella could not see his face entirely because he was back in the cart, and now when she also hopped in, he was wearing a hat.

'This man. No matter how I look at him, he seems so harmless! Yet... yet, there is this feeling that if I were to attack him, I would be utterly helpless.'- Orsella thought to herself.

She couldn't even sense any Mana from him, so the situation confused her to no end.

Her instincts honed through hundreds of battles, and the logical conclusions all pointed towards Ozul being unusual, but she just couldn't find any real evidence.

'Should I do it? He is sleeping already, so he won't find out...right?'- Orsella contemplated inside her mind.

In fact, she had a Spell to test the prowess of others. The Spell, however, demanded the target to be near Orsella. Moreover, the person she is trying to examine would not need any extra effort to find out that someone is using the Magical Spell on them.

This Spell allowed Orsella to examine people, but she rarely used it since no one liked to be probed by others, and this was especially true for Mages.

”O' Spirit Lord of....”

Since she did not want him to wake up, Orsella whispered the chant to conjure the Spell.

Slowly, the Mana in the atmosphere gathered around her before a wisp of glittering blue light went towards Ozul.

Orsella was confident in her abilities and herself that she didn't even take into account that Ozul could wake up due to the disturbance in the Mana.

The glittering blue light came into contact with Ozul. Orsella was about to make it go inside his body, but something unexpected happened.

Suddenly, a part of the black pointed hat on Ozul's face turned into a wisp of smoke!

The black smoke instantly arrived before the glittering blue light that was speeding towards the Ozul. It didn't even let Orsella react before her Spell was dispelled only by a touch of the black wisp of smoke!

Right after that, the black smoke went back to the hat and turned into the part that was chipped away earlier.

”Little girl, you shouldn't use such tricks. It's rude, you know.”

Just when Orsella was looking for an excuse, she heard the lazy voice behind the hat.

Ozul did not even bother to move his hat to say these words. Which pretty much explained Orsella of how less he cared about the situation.

”I... I just-”

”You just wanted to check me out... because things don't make sense, do they?”- Ozul interrupted her stuttering in the middle, finishing what she may have wanted to say.

”How do you know?!”- Orsella asked, surprised that the man could read her thoughts.
