Isaac understood immediately. Professor Catherine wasn't asking because she was confused.
She was asking because she wanted confirmation.
She was smart enough that she had already pieced most of it together.
The reason she chose to ask him directly, here and now, was because she wanted to see how much he trusted her. How much he was willing to share.
She had already seen two Stonewards with her own eyes.
Isaac let out a slow breath.
'I can't lie. She will detect it with her skill.'
He could say that he had copied Emily's skill, that the second Stoneward was an Abyss summon created through her ability. That excuse might work on most people.
But not on Professor Catherine.
Thanks to her skill, she would immediately know whether he was lying or not.
After sorting through his thoughts, Isaac finally spoke.
"It's my ability," he said.
Professor Catherine raised an eyebrow and spoke,
"So you can "share" things like Stats, Skills, Physiques, Affinities, and even Summons."
