"Wasn't Sir Axel... already a mage?"
Eve asked, interrupting Axel and Mimir's conversation.
"I mean, you bring things in and out of your subspace, so... you must be a space-time mage, right?"
The little princess's question piqued everyone's interest.
At first, it was true that everyone assumed he was a mage. After all, he typically avoided frontline combat—just like a typical mage. However, when he did engage in battle, he usually wielded a sword, which did confuse them.
Nobody took the time to clarify what Axel actually was!
Hearing the unexpected question, Axel turned away from Mimir and replied flatly, "That's not accurate. Rather than magic, what I use is more akin to an ability or a skill."
Before he elaborated, Axel took a moment to survey those present.
Eve, Beatrix, Arianne, Maria, and Cherry from the former Klint Kingdom group; Teruria and Ethernina from the Witcheria side; and finally, Fenrir.
Those were the only members attending that night's dinner.
