"Ian, I'm alright. Don't worry."
Aurora saw Ian's appearance as soon as she seed to be hurt and felt sweet in her heart, and replied with a smile, as it was really her fault this ti.
However, although she looked guilty, she didn't seem to be in a bad mood, as soone who was attacked should be.
Instead, she was weirdly in a good mood, which Ian noticed almost imdiately from her bright smile after his appearance, with a twinkle in her erald green eyes.
"Why are you girls so careless? Didn't I say I would handle those monsters when cooking?"
Lyra finally understood what happened and scolded Aurora while using a glob of water to wash off the sticky mucus from her arm, which had gotten stuck during the attack.
Although she was jealous at first that Ian took an interest in her before, after staying with her and cooking together for more than a month, she had already beco good friends with Aurora.
So, she was quite pissed at her for being so careless when, in fact, she had already asked her not to co near such a monster.
Despite the Rohu being a low-level monster that was at most at the First-class wizard apprentice level, it wasn't sothing Aurora could co into contact with.
"Yeah... I'm sorry. I was careless."
Aurora hurriedly apologized to Lyra in embarrassnt as she also saw a crowd gathering at the kitchen entrance due to the fiasco she caused.
She now felt that she was too impulsive and shouldn't do such a dangerous thing in the future and be a spectacle for the crowd to behold.
However, amidst all the commotion, Ian was instead silently watching everything with no comnt, which didn't sit well with the Fatso.
After replying to Ian, he was waiting for so words from Ian, or at least so reprimand, but got nothing, causing him to feel anxious.
So, he could only bite the bullet and talk again,
"See? She is indeed alright. It was really not because of us. I even help her defend that attack. I told her not to co here. I don't know why she still..."
At last, he trailed off, as he didn't know if placing the bla on Aurora was a good idea, causing him to sweat visibly.
He almost made a mistake in his eagerness to defend himself.
After all, Ian almost kill Borris in anger before, and Fatso was absolutely sure that he would die if that attack fell on him.
And he didn't want to die for such a stupid reason, not after going through inhuman wizard experints just to earn this much power.
Fortunately for him, Ian didn't seem to care about his dilemma and only replied slightly with a nod,

"Yeah, I understand. You can go."
He could already see that it wasn't his fault, so there was no reason to make it difficult for him. So, Ian just waved his hand, which caused the guy in front of him to visibly relax.
"Yeah, thank you. Thank you."
Fatso didn't know why he was thanking Ian for when he did nothing wrong.
But anyhow, he felt relaxed after getting Ian's approval and hurriedly left the place, not wanting to stay there for a second.
"Are you alright?"
Seeing that Lyra had finished helping Aurora, Ian finally asked while looking at her curiously.
He could clearly feel that Aurora looked quite different from before. He just couldn't pinpoint that exact feeling.
'She seems happy?'
Ian thought while looking at Aurora's figure, who imdiately chid in upon hearing his concern.
"Yeah. Don't worry. I was just startled a bit. There's nothing wrong. See, I am fine and shining."
Aurora replied a little quirkily while spinning, completely in a good mood.
Ian was sure of her mood change, as during this more than a month-long journey, her mood had been down the entire ti, only smiling occasionally.
Even he didn't see any incrent in her favorability value after being close for so long, as if stuck in sothing.
"Then it's good. Just don't be reckless next ti."
Ian didn't point it out, though, and just nodded, causing Aurora to smile beautifully. Her dimple added extra charm to her face.
"Yeah! Thank you for always caring for . And thank you too, Lyra."
She answered while also thanking Lyra for her tily spell that helped remove the fishy spell from her body.
As a girl, she didn't want to sll bad, especially in front of soone she liked.
"Don't fret about it. Aren't we sisters already? Why care about this formality?"
Lyra didn't seem to notice anything odd as she just replied implicitly in a joking tone as always, causing Aurora to blush.
However, Ian noticed she didn't deny it like before or get anxious but just smiled shyly, as if a newlywed girl in her bedroom waiting for the first night to happen.
'What happened to her?'
Ian couldn't figure it out, as he felt Aurora was rather changed from before.
'She seems happy, relaxed, and more active?'
He listed a few odd things he noticed to find out what exactly was that weird feeling when suddenly he heard a young voice from his shoulder, tinged with a little surprise,
"Hey, did you notice?"
Ignysyl suddenly asked Ian, as if he found sothing incredible.
"Hm? What do you an?"
Just when Ian was thinking, Ignysyl's sudden words diverted his attention, causing him to ask with telepathy.
"Didn't you notice? Look at her carefully again."
Ignysyl tilted his head in surprise, voiced his thoughts, and, without giving Ian a chance to look at Aurora, kept talking,
"I feel... mana in her body. But, didn't you say she is a voidborn... how is this possible?
The little dragon poured out his findings, expressing his surprise at last, causing Ian's eyes to suddenly go wide.
"What? How is this possible?"
He almost shouted out loud as he finally felt where that weirdness ca from. Yes, it was definitely the mana signature he felt on Aurora, just like he felt on everyone else on this ship.
But since he was used to it, he didn't think much and almost forgot that Aurora was a Voidborn and couldn't possibly have mana in her body.
Just when Ian expressed his surprise and was about to look at Aurora's figure to confirm what Ignysyl said, a sudden prompt from the system caught him off guard.
