As her voice faded, Rael turned back to Beatrice, who had a smirk on her face.
"What?"
"I wonder...?" Beatrice hummed. "Come on, go ahead and invade my mind. See what happens."
Rael sighed. "Mind giving me a hint, for starters?"
"I might give you a hint if you go ahead and invade my mind~" Beatrice replied playfully.
Though that question wasn't only directed at her, but also Gaia.
However...
[Nope.]
Gaia...?
[You have the perfect opportunity to learn what has to be learned. And by understanding the concept yourself, you'll be able to utilize it better,] Gaia replied. [Basically, don't call me for help, since I won't come.]
He felt a pang in his chest. For the first time in a while, Gaia told him off.
So with that, he wasn't really left with many choices. Sure, Anna could help, maybe. But at that point, he would just be finding shortcuts.
Therefore, while Beatrice had her cheeky grin, Rael focused on the mana in his body and then invaded hers.
