Ultimately, Ottley wasn't able to drag lessons for a week. Zero's thirst for knowledge and the lack of things to occupy him started to prove difficult to manage. Not even Truen was able to stop his friend from sneaking into the shipyard to check on the Marrissa's progress.
Whatever they thought the Marrissa was going to be, turned out completely different. The Marrissa had no sails, and the structure looked off. Zero couldn't help but wonder why this ship was completely covered in wood. How were they going to read the clouds and stars if the ceiling was also covered? Were they meant to row the boat manually or use mana to charge it? What if water leaked into this ship? The sinking ship would be a sunken ship. It was so strange that Zero didn't realise someone was approaching from behind him until the person grabbed him by the back of his shirt.
