There was a brief mont of silence before Ziza glanced at the people gathered and then at Raph.
She had one question troubling her at that mont, but her initial plan of forcing the answers out of him did not work.
She glanced at rthy soon after and sent a psychic link to the girl.
*What do you think, rthy?*
rthy flinched for only a second, but she had regained composure soon enough.
*It's hard to decipher what he's thinking, and he seems a lot stronger than we anticipated*
*Yes, that aura he exuded was on the level of an eleventh star….I have no thod of knowing what his true abilities are, but I have a feeling that he could be beyond our expectations*
rthy sighed at the thought, while she stared at Raph, who seed relaxed at the mont.
Ziza Ruggard was perhaps the strongest psychic mage she had ever known, but even her abilities were offset by a single boy with an unknown origin and abilities.
All they knew about him was the fact that he travelled with the rcenaries and they trusted him enough to ignore his lies.
*Send him a psychic link, let's find out who he wishes to reveal himself*
Ziza stared at her subordinate for a mont, before glancing at Raph with a pleasant smile on her face.
Raph raised a brow in confusion when he suddenly flinched as a sensation swept into his brain. It sort of felt like fingers were poking into his head, just shallow enough to stay out of the important parts.
At that mont, a psychic link was established, but Raph also realized sothing soon after.
*Is this the psychic link?*
Raph asked with a raised brow while the two won stared at each other and then at him before nodding in unison.
*Alright then. Please take the three of us, including Elsie, the demi-human next to and Azby*
A mont of silence descended upon them, before Ziza evidently sighed and replied ntally.
*As you wish*
At that mont, the eight figures disappeared, and five of them reappeared in the white room they had occupied a short while ago.
"Oh" Azby muttered in realization, her gaze etched on Raph "You want in on your identity?" She asked.
Raph nodded and sighed. "It's important that at least you know about it. After all, I did ntion how careful I was in revealing my identity" Raph explained.
"Why are you careful about it? You are a noble, but I don't think you're all that," rthy said with a click of her tongue, while Ziza floated back into the air.
"My subordinate has a point. Is your secret that troubleso?" She asked.
Raph scoffed and nodded. "Yes, it is" He replied. "Though, I'm wondering why you couldn't use your psychic abilities to find out yourself".
His sudden statent caused both rthy and Ziza to move subtly. Perhaps unconsciously to them, they didn't realize it but to Raph and his sharp gaze, he quickly identified their slight movent.
'....that ans they tried it already….' That brought him to one conclusion. '....My eyes fend against ntal attacks?'.
It seed like the more he mastered the use of his eyes, the stronger and more applicable they beca.
With each mastery, he has obtained abilities that should have been far from reach for any Non-System user.
He had to admit, The I SEE YOU trait was spectacular in different regards, more so than the KING OF SNOW.
"I'll get to the point then". He turned towards Elsie and stretched out his hand towards hers.
She grabbed him with a smile as her tail wagged behind her.
"I am Raffaelo Jun and this is Elsie Darkpelt".
A pin-drop silence descended in the room as the people gathered were left in shock.

Rodrick, Colyn and Lucky reappeared in the bar, in the sitting position they were in before they left.
At that mont, Harry dropped so glasses of cups in their presence and pulled out so bottles of wine.
"You lots don't experience this much, huh?" He said with a light smile as he served them.
Rodrick glanced at the man as he was still processing what had just occurred. It was then that Colyn tapped him that he finally snapped to reality.
"He doesn't trust us enough, huh?" Rodrick said with a slight irk in his tone as he picked up the glass of wine.
Colyn laughed out loud. "If that is the first thing you could say after appearing in the sa bar we left, then you must be really out of it".
Lucky giggled while she picked up her glass cup as well. She was hardly noticed in the group, and her presence had beco sparse, especially after kicking out Cruz from the team.
"No matter, at least the captain was taken". Colyn said as he patted the man on the back while he turned towards Harry.
"You guys are a lot different than what I assud. This place seems so peaceful…and sort of rry". He said while he glanced around.
Harry shrugged, his gaze scanning the room. "Everyone here is alive thanks to the Guild Master, and if she wishes peace then we would give her that".
"So, utmost respect, huh? Too bad we don't do that in the rchant Guild"
"Well….rcenaries and Adventurers don't act the sa way, not to ntion, we are a special sort of adventurers". Harry explained as his gaze shifted to a board that hung at the side of the bar.
Their gazes were drawn to it, and in that brief mont of silence, they studied the files that had been posted on it.
A classical music tone was played in the background and it endowed a particular sort of peaceful harmony in the bar.
Rodrick chuckled as he turned away from the board.
"You guys are the most trustworthy in the Border Town?" He asked.
"The last living Trustworthy body of people! Yes, we are" Harry replied with a friendly smile. "It's nice to give hope to the good people that are left in this backwater area".
"I'm sure it is…..but haven't those good people nearly died out?" Rodrick asked while he sipped from his wine.
Harry sighed as he looked away.
"The Guild Master is trying to look into it, but things keep getting worse. The Eastern Army has a direct influence in our area of work, too…..I'm sure you guys didn't co here in one piece". He said.
Rodrick and his teammates glanced at each other, before sighing in unison. Their expressions were a testant to the ordeal they went through before getting here.
'The guys will be surprised when I tell them that we escaped a mountain, baby,' Rodrick thought before a slight smirk ford on his lips.
An image of Raph appeared in his head, and for a mont the smirk disappeared. "I really wanted to find out his true identity though".
"...Well, he did say that finding his identity could cause….I don't know, issues with higher people; let's just hope it's not as bad as he said". Lucky said while her gaze was fixed on her cup.
Harry chuckled and began to refill those cups. "Relax, people like him are usually all talk and no show. I bet he's just so noble who thinks highly of himself".

Ziza and rthy's eyes were laced with shock while Azby had her mouth hanging while they stared at Raph.
At that mont, rthy quickly glanced at Ziza, but her expression gave her the reply to her question before she could even confirm.
"You–You're the only son of the Jun Household?" Azby asked with a shaky tone in her voice and slowly shifted her gaze to Elsie.
"....And you're a mber of the Darkpelt tribe? The King of Werewolves?"
Elsie giggled while Raph nodded.
"You see why I didn't wish to reveal my identity until now?" He asked with a sigh.
Azby scratched the back of her head while rthy and Ziza continued to stare in surprise.
"Bu–But why reveal it now?" Ziza asked, her voice laced with curiosity.
"....Well" Raph muttered as he glanced at them. "I trust Azby enough, and I believe if she attempted to reveal this information, it would be for a good cause" He explained. "And also she's an assassin".
Their eyes sparkled in realization, after all, assassins tend to keep secrets to their grave, especially those that aren't under a specific master. That included Azby.
"Then, How about us?" Ziza asked.

Raph glanced around the room. "You were suspicious of our identity and antagonistic against , thinking I was just any noble….and nobles are under the King". He replied. "Not to ntion, these goods are ant for the Eastern Frontiers and not the army. I believe you want peace".
Ziza's gaze widened slightly in surprise while rthy clicked her tongue.
"You observed all that?" She asked, curiosity etched in her tone.
"Well, perhaps….I do have my suspicions after all" He looked her over. "After all, we look alike so much that it caught by surprise".
"Well, your hair is black, and hers is white…so.." rthy muttered for a mont before her head snapped in realization. ".... Didn't you always have white hair?" She asked.
Raph nodded with a slight chuckle. "I do," He replied. " …But, we should leave that out for now. Seeing you guys here, actually gave a brilliant idea". He said with a slight amusent in his tone.
The won all stared at him puzzled, in anticipation of his next statent, and then it ca.
"How about you join us in our revolution".
