Lucia crossed her arms.
"You two became close rather quickly."
Neither of them answered directly.
What Lucia did not know was that Rose had not chosen to befriend Max simply because of what she had witnessed so far.
Her true reason lay elsewhere.
Rose possessed a rare and unusual class ability, one that very few people knew about. That ability allowed her to perceive the future potential of geniuses. It did not reveal exact destinies, nor did it grant complete foresight, but it gave her a sense of how far a person might one day rise.
However, the ability had strict limitations.
It only worked if the target remained near her long enough for the connection to form. Brief encounters meant nothing. Passing meetings gave no result.
Because of that, it had remained dormant during their earlier interactions.
Only after Max returned from Dragon Death Valley and spent enough time near her did the ability finally activate.
