MTLNOVEL Chapter 113: Did She Want To Pick A Fight?
However, just as Ian was waiting to see Lyra's result, a soft voice filled with innocence came from beside him, drawing his attention back.
"Umm... Excuse me. You cannot do that. It is our turn."
Although the voice was soft and serene, it carried an unusual toughness, giving it weight.
"Oh?"
Ian was really caught off guard by the sweet voice since it was basically determined now after what Ron had said. But there was still someone who would object at this time.
Feeling that it was something fun, Ian turned around to see who had the guts to stop him, when he saw a beautiful young girl dressed in rich fabric, looking at him with her striking emerald green eyes and long chestnut brown hair that flowed smoothly down her back.
Although her body was covered with a long, luxurious gown, her voluptuous figure and graceful curves could not be entirely hidden, hinting at an elegance and allure that captivated all who looked upon her.
"Aurora, what are you doing now? Why are you talking at this time out of nowhere?"
Henry, on the other hand, was sweating bullets, as he didn't think Aurora would butt in at this time. When it was time to talk, she remained silent, like an aloof girl devoid of dust from the mortal world, and now, when it was bad to do so, she butted in?
Did she want to pick a fight?
Although Henry also coveted Lyra after seeing her for the first time, he was someone who knew whom to provoke and whom not to. So, when he saw Ian directly ignoring Ron's rule without getting into trouble, he stood silently without any idea of confrontation.
After all, he wasn't stupid.
But now his sister directly pointed at the muzzle of the gun, making him restless.
"But isn't it bad that he crossed the line? It is our time though."
Aurora asked her brother in confusion, but her face was still serene and peaceful just like before, as if she was merely acting clueless.
"You, girl, can't you see the situation?"
Henry whispered in annoyance.
'Aurora?'
However, while Henry was busy scolding and persuading his sister, Ian was instead stunned in place.
'The clueless girl?'
Of course, he knew this girl, Aurora, as she was recognized as the most clueless girl in Arcane Passage.
It wasn't that she was stupid or gullible, but she was clueless about situations at times; basically, her EQ at times was almost zero. So, she was prone to making bad decisions.
As far as Ian remembered, Aurora wasn't a heroine, but also not a complete villain. If he guessed it right, she was a character written by the author to allow the protagonist to show his heroism by correcting her twisted path.
Now that he thought about it, Arcane Passage did have a variety of girls around the protagonist: a tsundere Sylvia, a timid girl Lyra, a fiery girl Morgana, an irritating Isolde, and now this clueless girl Aurora. It was really colorful.
'But why is she here?'
Ian was really confused, since as far as he knew, protagonist Carl met Aurora on the Calvora Continent, and there was no mention of her origin. And the most intriguing part was that she was already demonized when Carl met her during the fight with the dark wizard.
So, what was she doing here? Moreover, looking at her figure and innocent look, she didn't seem to be demonized. Heck, she wasn't even a wizard apprentice yet.
Just for confirmation, Ian let go of his mental power and scanned her entirely, when a blue panel appeared in his mind immediately.
[Name: Aurora Mistveil]
[Race: Human]
[Realm: Tertiary Knight (Peak)]
[Knight Scripture: Mistveil Knight Breathing Method]
[Codex: Misty Sword Technique (Excellence), Lotus Steps (Excellence), Shield Blossoms (Harmonization)]
[Luck Points: 400]
[Destiny: Female Lead]
'As I thought, she is still a knight, and she hasn't become a dark wizard yet. And her destiny is female lead just like Lyra.'
Now Ian was curious about what caused Aurora to be demonized and why she only met Carl on the Calvora Continent.
'It seems that drawing this Ignisia Trial forward has begun to change the plot unknowingly, huh? The so-called butterfly effect?'
Ian finally concluded that whatever happened to Aurora must have happened before the Ignisia Trial took place. But since it was drawn so many months forward, her fate might have changed or at least begun to change.
However, from the beginning, Ian didn't care whether his actions would change the plot from the fixed trajectory he knew of. Your next chapter is on empire
If he worried about those things all day, then what difference would there be between the character in a novel and him? So, his motive had always been to stand on the top of this world and forge his own destiny.
Of course, he would definitely use the foresight that came with reading the novel; otherwise, that would be too stupid. But he wouldn't care whether his actions deviated from the plot.
Moreover, his system was based on changing the plot, so he cared even less.
Just when he was thinking about various things, Ron's voice drew his attention back to the Keystone, where Lyra had already tested her qualifications.
"Magical aptitude: 10 points."
"Elemental Affinity, Water/Ice: 8 points, Wind: 8 points, Darkness: 10 points, others below the threshold."
"Mental power: 8 points."
"Qualified."
Ron simply commented on what was shown on the Keystone without saying anything extra. Although he was surprised by such a good qualification, especially 10 points in darkness affinity, he didn't want to meddle with this girl who was clearly with Ian.
Along with his sound, the crowd was once again shocked as they wondered if it was so easy to score higher points.
Why had another one appeared just after one?
"Ian, how was that? Is my qualification good?"
Lyra, not caring what others thought, swiftly came to his side, grabbed his arm, and asked while smiling sweetly. Her appearance broke the discussion going on between the brother and sister.
"Yeah, it is good enough."
Ian nodded, as he already knew Lyra's qualifications. Just as he thought, after awakening her bloodline, her darkness affinity was directly full; not to mention, this Keystone couldn't really detect other aspects of a person. But this was enough for now.
"What happened here?"
