Jaden sat in a chair and looked at Maria, who was circling him with a confused look.
"What are you?" She questioned with a hand on her chin.
He sighed and mumbled, "I am just as... normal as you are..."
"No... You are different from us. Isn't that what you told Yuka? Now look at you standing before me as an Expert rank arcane knight after just two months," she added with a shake of her head.
"I said that because I wanted her to teleport me to the arcane library," he replied in a serious tone.
She stopped pacing around, looked him in the eyes and asked, "Tell me the truth, Jaden. The truth."
He looked into her eyes and said, "It is the truth."
She clicked her tongue and turned around to leave, but before she could leave, he called out.
"Big sis..."
She stopped in her tracks and turned toward him before asking with a frown., "What do you need? What else do you want me to do after everything I have already done for you?"
