Chapter 115 Voidborn
Chapter 115 Voidborn
"Magical aptitude: 0,"
"Elemental Affinity: None,"
"Mental power: 8 points."
"Sigh, girl, your mental power is high, but unfortunately, you seem to be Voidborn. Unless you find some incredible natural treasure, there is no wizard path for you. But finding such treasures on this barren continent?"
Ron shook his head after seeing the result of Aurora's test. Voidborn were those who had no magical aptitude or elemental affinity.
Unlike what people thought, in this world, everyone had more or less magical aptitude or elemental affinity; it was only a matter of how much.
So, if the conditions were right and you could pay the price, anyone could become a wizard, a bit weak one, with strong support. It was just that people wouldn't invest in someone whose talent was low.
Moreover, such people were already called having no Wizard aptitude by the majority.
However, voidborn were even lower than them as it was significantly harder to start on this path since they had no foundation to speak of. That's why Ron said only incredible natural treasures could allow Aurora to embark on the wizard's path.
Of course, there was also a diabolical path, but Ron didn't think that way.
"Voidborn? No wonder."
Sure enough, Ian quickly understood why Aurora was demonized when Carl met her in the Arcane Passage. However, it was still a mystery how she reached there.
"Um, so, I can't leave this continent with you?"
After hearing Ron's voice, Aurora asked in a slightly shaking voice. Ian could even see her expression finally changing, showing anxiety. This was the first time she lost her composure in front of him.
"Girl, voidborn cannot become wizards unless they consume precious natural born treasures. So, you aren't qualified."
Ron shook his head in firm refusal. He wouldn't take someone not qualified with him, let alone a voidborn. He didn't have much free time or resources.
"Okay, next."
"Wait, wait a minute... Sir, you don't need to take me to become a wizard like others. Can you just help me leave this continent?"
Aurora said in a rare solemn tone. From her voice, one could see how instead of worrying about not being able to become a wizard, she was worried she couldn't leave this continent.
"Girl, only those who are deemed qualified by the Ignisia Tower can leave this continent. This is the rule from ages, and I cannot change it."
Ron told the truth. Due to the special nature of this place, the people he could bring were extremely limited. There was really no reason he would risk taking her for nothing.
Of course he could do it if he paid a price, but there was no need.
"But it won't cost you anything to just take me..."
As expected of the clueless girl, she just continued to interrupt a wizard even when she was rejected twice. If Ron was an impatient person, wouldn't she be in danger?
"Why do you want to leave this continent?"
Ian, who was listening to their banter, decided to butt in as he didn't understand why Aurora became so anxious after knowing she couldn't leave this continent.
His appearance also curbed Ron's annoyance, saving Aurora from trouble, although Ron did seem dissatisfied with his meddling.
"Yeah! Why don't you say your reason? Maybe Ian could help."
Lyra also chimed in from the side after seeing that Ian was interested in this girl. Looking at the gorgeous look and curvy body of Aurora, she was indeed almost on par with her before her bloodline awakened.
Hearing her enthusiastic rebuttal, Ian didn't know why Lyra wasn't jealous and became quirky instead. This girl had a weird temper at times.
Didn't she get jealous of her sister before?
"Really? Thank you..."
Aurora's bright emerald green eyes shone in excitement after hearing a positive reply for once, but then remembering Ian's question, they dimmed again.
"But... but... can I not say the reason? I really just want to leave this continent. Can you please help me?"
Perhaps she found a girl to talk to, so she tried to ask Lyra for help. Feeling that her demand might be too big, she fiddled with her chestnut brown hair in stress, looking at Lyra and then Ian again and again.
Ian looked at the fidgeting girl in front of him, who was in stark contrast to her usual serene and peaceful look, in confusion.
His bloodline passive Veilbourne Shroud had made his perception far stronger than ever before. So, when he asked the reason, he could clearly feel sudden extreme fear from Aurora.
Although Aurora didn't show it outwardly, he could clearly sense it since he was so close.
'Is she possessed? Cursed? Or is it because of someone?'
Ian guessed for a while, finding no perfect answer for her fear. From the way she was demonized in the Arcane Passage, Ian guessed the reason might be there.
Since there was no use guessing, Ian thought of helping her this time. With the pact in place, he didn't think Ron would deny his request. As for him getting irritated, Ian didn't care about that.

Moreover, he hadn't forgotten the most important thing.
"Okay, you can come with us."
Ian agreed with a faint smile while slightly smirking at Carl, who was staring in his direction. Although he was talking here, he was paying attention to him from the beginning as it felt good to see his ugly face when he became so intimate with Aurora. From the way he acted, he seemed to be deciding whether to come over again.
"Bastard!"
Of course, Carl saw his faint smirk as his eyes were glued to their side from the beginning.
"Say, kid, why are you acting like he stole your wife?"
Ruther asked in confusion after seeing his extreme reaction. Didn't he and Aurora just meet and only talk for a few words? But why was he acting like Ian stole his girlfriend?
"Old man, can you shut up? I just don't like this guy."
Carl replied, annoyed.
"Tch, kid. Don't think you can hide from me. Anyway, can't you see that guy is just talking with her? Why are you getting worked up for nothing? Moreover, that girl seems to be voidborn, and you two are worlds apart anyway."
Ruther didn't chide him this time but told the truth.
"Moreover, if you really like her, just return here after you become strong enough and give her some treasures that could change her physique. Won't she come to you willingly? You don't know how to pick up girls."
Carl would definitely leave this continent, leaving Aurora behind. There was really no need to get worked up over this, right?
"I know."
Carl nodded and decided to halt his movement. After Ruther's words, he also discarded the idea of going there again since Ron had already warned him.
"Let's talk with her later," he thought, not realizing that Ian had already lent a helping hand to the girl he was looking at.
