"Yes." Aria nodded.
"How? Wasn't that demonic essence from a five-star demon? How could he, a two-star mage could expel it?" Old man Raku asked.
"I don't know…" Aria shook her head and sighed. "I couldn't see through it." She also found this strange. Practically speaking, she should be able to see through a two-star mage's techniques, but she failed to do so.
Old man Raku went silent. Although he knew Max was mysterious, it was only because he had resources which shouldn't be available in the green leaf kingdom.
Suddenly, he recalled something and asked, "I remember you were surprised after scanning him. Why was it so?"
Aria gave her father a look and joked, "Foster father, you seem to have quite a lot of interest in him."
Old man Raku smiled and nodded, "Yes. I feel he is a special person and forming a good relationship with him would be good for us in the long run."
