Regardless, Nainiae was standing next to Riley and observing the boulder. Having noticed that the mana measurement boulder was not showing any particular response, she tilted her head to the side and asked,
“Young master, you do have your hand on it, right?”
“Can’t you see? I have it touching the boulder right here?”
“That’s odd. There should be a response…”
The boulder was not showing even the slightest movement.
It wasn’t showing any gentle, steady light. It wasn’t shaking either.
Realizing this, not just Nainiae, but Andal also tilted his head to the sides.
“Um?”
Perhaps about five to ten seconds had passed.
A cracking sound could be heard, and the boulder started to crack from the bottom.
“What the? What’s this? Its response was a little late?”
“This is…”
With a look of disbelief in her gaze, she stared at the boulder.
Meanwhile, the boulder was still cracking further.
“Andal, is this one defective?”
“No. This one isn’t defective. This is correct.”
After the boulder finally responded, Riley cringed and turned away.
Andal shook his head and said it was not defective.
“…It is Time.”
Nainiae murmured.
“What?”
“Young master, your innate type is…related to time.”
“Time?”
Riley asked with a question mark above his head.
Andal nodded and confirmed,
“That’s right. Time.”
‘Not Fire, Water, Wind, or Earth, but Time? What do you mean Time?’
Riley didn’t understand, but he took his hand off from the boulder and asked Nainiae and Andal,
“Is it something good?”
And then…
The mana measurement boulder that Riley had touched crumbled and collapsed.
