'That would normally be the case…' Mathew thought, taking a closer look at the man.
He was nearing his forties and was pretty well-built, indicating he was either properly trained or simply worked in some sort of a physical field. Yet, despite having clear predispositions for the old-type of soldier…
'I can't feel anything,' Mathew thought.
There wasn't even a hint of mana interfering with the man's body. And while it didn't necessarily mean he didn't have any system of sorts…
"That's strange," Mathew muttered, pressing his lips together. 'Were my assumptions about what one needs to do to receive a system… wrong?'
Just like with all the knowledge Mathew had about the apocalypse-related stuff, it was all assumptions, not truths. And while, to a degree, things worked as he expected, he wasn't going to ignore the facts when he was faced with them!
