Blake was hesitating right now because the question Lynn had asked didn't leave his mind at peace… There was no reason for him to forget it since he had just heard it. It really was quite simple, and that itself caused Blake to have more trouble answering it.
A wizard or a runic? Blake didn't know which of the two to choose since there was a lot to take into account in either case, he was sure that Lynn shouldn't be someone ordinary... Although that could be seen from the moment that person had appeared in front of her and treated her with a lot of respect, so Blake believed that she must also be a witch or runic.
"What is that question for?" In the end, Blake decided not to answer directly. Maybe he would have a chance to divert the topic if he tried hard enough, but he was also interested in knowing the reason why Lynn asked that question since it shouldn't be for no reason.
"Well… I guess it's not too strange if you know what's on my mind. Hagalaz, the guard who attacked you, is a wizard. He used a simple darkness attribute spell intending to knock you out, but you were able to endure it, so I'm curious if you're a wizard or a runic." Lynn was quite sincere actually, though she was getting a bit suspicious as even if Blake had advanced beyond the initial realm in either area, it would be very difficult for him to withstand the ability he was subjected to, so that was worthy of her attention.
Blake listened to that without missing a thing… Though he still thought it was a bit worrying how Lynn didn't take much notice of the fact that he was attacked by her subordinate and that this ability would probably do more than just knock him unconscious… But after all of that, it seemed like there was nothing Blake could do.
"I... I'm a wizard." The last trace of doubt vanished when Blake said that, he had thought of all the possibilities, and believed that being a mage was more versatile and easier for him to explain than being a runic as that was somewhat rarer in comparison.
"Um... I see, by any chance, do you have something to do with Major Marjorie?" Lynn had accepted Blake's answer, and that had made her continue with her questions with a rare calm to see in her.
"Yes, she is my master." Blake began to calm down a bit after noticing Lynn's attitude, he also didn't ignore the small tone of respect with which she referred to Marjorie, so he didn't have any trouble answering her questions.
"Oh... That's quite interesting." Lynn kept several thoughts that were in her mind as she checked what she wanted. "I'd like to meet with Major Marjorie later."
"I think she is in the audience right now." Blake didn't take long to say that information... But if he were a little more perceptive, he would have noticed that Lynn seemed to be playing with him in the palm of her hand.
"That's a great help." Lynn simply thanked Blake, but at that very moment, she heard Evelyn's voice, which told her that she should stop playing with Blake. "It seems that's your cue, I won't bother you anymore."
Lynn gave Blake one last smile before walking away. He also said goodbye to her before rushing to change since Evelyn's voice had also reached his ears. The event was slowly beginning to resume, but while Blake was busy, Lynn had already been seen by all the townspeople.
…
"It's a disgrace to see you on such a horrible day, Auntie Lynn." Sofia's calm voice accompanied by her opposites was soon heard at the moment she had approached Lynn's figure.
"Kyaaa, I think I'm going to die of cuteness! I didn't know you'd become so cute!" On her part, Lynn also clearly saw Sofia… And from the way she was expressing herself, as well as how she was squeezing Sofia's cheeks, anyone could tell that she was incredibly happy to see her niece.
"I didn't have the feeling that you would disappear today." Sherman had come over to say hello too. Lynn's appearance had really been a surprise, but it was still quite nice news.
"Nice to see you too, Sherman. I couldn't miss the catwalk this year." Lynn had put her strange thoughts aside as she was now enjoying that little family moment.
While that whole scene was taking place, the other people in the audience also had their own thoughts, most of them had already seen Lynn once and had a good impression of her, although there were some exceptions.
Carlos felt that it was starting to get a bit cold all of a sudden and he was trying to disappear unconsciously, a shiver had also run through Rusk's body the moment he had seen that blue-haired beauty, and he was grateful for still being tied to that pillar of the mansion.
On the other hand, Marjorie had a somewhat annoyed expression and was waiting for the moment when Lynn arrived with her since she had some things to say, Shino only outlined a smile on her face, but that changed a bit the moment his eyes seemed to meet Lynn's.
An invisible line of lightning was generated between them and only a few people knew the reason for it.
In short, a new individual had arrived in town, and although he would not be there for long, it was undeniable that he would bring with him various situations, even some complicated ones, and although Blake did not know it, he had awakened a little interest of that particular individual.
