章 83: Developing Power

"You didn't have to treat her like that," Asher said, turning to Lucy.

Now that Elaine was gone, it felt easier to talk without making things awkward.

Lucy stayed silent for a moment, touching her chin thoughtfully. "I think there's something off here," 

"What do you mean?" he raised his eyebrows. This time, he was sure he hadn't done anything wrong.

She turned to him with a serious look. "I think you have a talent for attracting the supernatural."

"How?" He stared at her, unsure if she was joking.

"That girl isn't an ordinary human. I felt it. It's weak, and I'm not even sure she's aware of it, but there are spirits surrounding her."

"Spirits? You mean like Yuki?"

She shook her head. "Spirits are natural phenomena that protect some humans for unknown reasons, while Yuki is more of a demon."

"And how is this related to me?"

"Like I said, the supernatural keeps getting drawn to you," she replied.
