“” Qyunda pointed out as we looked through the list of videos of the incident. Most of them are in pretty low quality with how panicked the recorders seem to be. “”
“” Useph chid in.
“” Kenni said in response. “”
“It’s certainly brutal, but what was the story again?” I doubt she did this unprovoked. What the heck even happened there?
“” Kenni replied. I think we all sorta know who she is, what her real na is. I still call her Lrem just out of habit.
“” Malk asked as the video continued being played over and over in the background of the group chat.
“” Kenni gives us reasons why we shouldn’t even try to think about that.
I believe she is… If she is still diligent with her training, then she should be behind Emmie and still ahead of all of us. That’s what Wiina told with her prediction. She sits sowhere between Kenni and Emmie, which in the grand sche of things is absurd for soone that Wiina described as relatively normal, at least when it cos to raw talent.
“” Orrel pointed out. “”
“” Kenni snarkily replied. “”
“” Orrel said without actually giving us any concrete thodology. “”
“” Kenni remarked.
“Cut them so slack, they are sticking to their career paths, let’s leave it at that.” It’s like sticking with streaming, not that I have been doing that for a while, a lot of things ca up so what are they gonna do about it? I also still have school so cut so slack. “...By the way, what were we talking about before this breaking news? Heard you guys were talking about sothing different before I joined.”
“” …About what?
“” Orrel clarified. Okay, that… make so sense? I honestly think if they were just talking about normal cakes it would’ve been fine. I don’t think I want to know how toxic a cake made almost entirely of magic ingredients will be.
“Okay then? Do we even have ti to figure that out?” We don’t even keep those monster ats with us, anything perishable is low value anyway.
“” Kenni asked.
“” He answered.
“” Qyunda quickly chid in.
“” Malk corrected her statent. Honestly this doesn’t feel like sothing I could bother getting involved with. If I want a cake I can just ask Wiina to get it for .
“Okay… Good luck with that.” I don’t really have anything to add, honestly. Maybe it’ll be a good… “Where are you doing this, by the way?”
“” Kenni answered.
“Well hopefully you get that sorted out. Hopefully not out in public for people to muck it up.” I said while hoping that’ll nudge them to think about it quickly.
“” Orrel said. Hopefully that remains true. “”
“” Kenni suddenly spoke up about that.
“I’ll give it to you guys tomorrow. Don’t worry about it.” That’d be the most convenient anyway. I’m in no rush. “...So the killing ga?”
“” Kenni quickly spoke up at the provocation.
“I was just asking how you’re all feeling about that.” I said, trying to feign ignorance of the whole deal like Wiina didn’t give an insightful rundown on the whole thing.
“” Qyunda chid in with quite a remark.
“Where the hell did that comnt even co from?” I didn’t even really start anything. I was kinda planning to, but I haven’t actually started. “If a help from can’t help then I guess you’re screwed either way ain’t it?”
“” Qyunda gave quite a la coback.
“” Orrel protested before the quips really started flying.
“” Qyunda then turned her aggression towards him. “”
“” Orrel calmly replied.
This is getting heated quicker than I thought it would, to be honest. Last ti they were bantering this loudly was about the Ice Sword stuff.

“You t her?” I said in shock at the bombshell being dropped.
“Indeed. It wasn’t too long ago today, casually walking up to my table like nothing is wrong.” Luik elaborated further. “From what I can gather, there is no grand purpose for her to approach .”
“I an, honestly, if she has sothing grand in mind she probably wouldn’t even let herself be spotted…” Not that I know enough about her to say anything. The most I can make out is that she is very rarely seen roaming around. It’s like she was always there even if that doesn’t feel like the case at all. Another enigmatic figure.
At least with Wiina it felt like there’s so logic to her appearance. Sure, she showed up randomly a few tis, but usually she made herself known during certain crises. It’s hard to tell if the sa is with Navi or not.
“From what I get out of the conversation, it does sound like there is nothing to worry about at the mont, but in the grand sche of things it’s not exactly that revealing. This place isn’t really under any threat.” Luik gave a bit more info.
“We can just sorta assu that already…” I said before scratching my head. “...What did she even do anyway?”
“Just eat so cheesesteaks. Nothing out of the ordinary.” She answered. “Made order it myself, at least she gave so money in exchange.”
“Weird thing for her to do…” Is it a flex or sothing? What’s going on there?
“She probably wants to keep her interactions minimal. Perhaps she’s not even an outgoing person, but that’s not sothing I can be sure of.” Luik speculated. “I’m certainly not pushing my luck even if she’s not antagonistic, so I only get a bit of insight on her character.”
“We’re not expecting to figure out that kind of mystery anyway. I think it’s best that we don’t try too hard with that.” There are probably a lot more things we could try to figure out if we want to be productive. Like, we could maybe do another mission or two, but then again I don’t think either of us are in great condition for that.
“...I can at least say that she is incredibly perceptive. Even the wound from yesterday that’s nothing more than a light bruise at this point she can see without showing it.” She suddenly dropped that tidbit.
“She sees past those big sleeves of yours?” I remarked. “...Huh. I guess so sort of vision-based ability is on the table.”
“We can already enhance our eyesights to better navigate the darkness and see further with clearer detail, it’s not really a new concept.” Luik pointed out.
“I guess… Still, I wasn’t expecting people to specs into that.” Seems kinda impractical in isolation compared to punching people or blasting them with explosives.
“She probably has more than enough taphorical skill points lying around for it then, which just makes her look like a more formidable adversary.” Luik pointed out.
“Luik, freudian slip.” I pointed out her error at the end there.
“No matter. She’s most likely not eavesdropping on us anyway.” She boldly proclaid. “And don’t be mistaken, I’m not crazy enough to try to challenge her. It’s simply a thought experint.”
“...Of you getting brutally maid?” Doesn’t take a genius to realize how out of depth she’d be even if Navi goes easy on her.
“Indeed. It’s always good to have sothing in mind when peril cos.” She said with a straight face. It’s hard to be snarky to soone who said things like that with their whole chest. Could’ve been her bluffing to not seem like an idiot, but I don’t want to test that out.
“...So what are you looking for here?” I asked, since she’s not an enthusiastic reader, last I checked. She must’ve co here for sothing specific like I am.
“Books on magic-related psychology.” She answered. “Navi said sothing about it and I want to investigate it a bit further.”
“I thought the basics were covered by now?” I asked in confusion. I think we know more than enough at this point, right?
“It was, but I want to double-check a few things. She may ntion it off-handedly but it never hurts to look into it a bit further.” From sothing she said? I guess I do get that feeling of sothing certain individuals were saying being more important than what it seems.
“...Alright then.” It’s hard to argue when I also co here from ti to ti due to certain peculiar comnts. We’re in the sa boat in that regard. Just looking through this massive library that probably has a lot of answers to this world of magic, all of it staring us in the face without us being fully aware of its implications.
