"Talaria?" Alicia chuckled. "Like the winged sandals of Hermes? That doesn't exactly look like a pair of sandals to me." Then she reached out, taking one of the boots from his hands. As she inspected it, her eyes suddenly flashed with a brilliant, digital blue light. After a few seconds, the light dimmed and she hummed, her amusement replaced by genuine intrigue. "Interesting."
"What's wrong?" Scar asked.
"My algorithm tells me this boot can amplify a speedster's velocity by a hundred percent," Alicia said, looking up at him. "And it seems to possess an active skill too. Though I can't tell what skill it is."
Scar was deeply stunned. She had deciphered the exact statistical mechanics of a legendary-tier System item just by looking at it. It was the same terrifying intuition she had shown two days ago in his bedroom.
"How did you know all that just by looking at it?" Scar demanded.
Alicia smiled mysteriously. "My ability, of course."
