Freya looked back and forth between Raymond and Sylph, both of whom had identical puzzled expressions. Finally, she sighed, as if their confusion was contagious, leaving all three of them looking equally perplexed.
"Wait, don't you know? Raymond's been awakened for less than twenty days."
"Um?" Sylph frowned, tilting her head slightly. 'Awakened for less than twenty days? What's so special about that?'
She blinked a few times, and then something seemed to click. Her mouth fell open slowly, and she covered it with both hands as realization dawned. Turning to Raymond, her eyes were wide with disbelief.
In the past, whenever she looked at Raymond, there had always been a subtle sense of superiority in her mind. She couldn't help it,bshe was an 'Explosion Magician', a rare and powerful specialization, while Raymond seemed like a fairly ordinary awakener by comparison.
But now, that superiority had evaporated like morning dew under the sun.
