Another World Mall-Chapter 643: Difference

"Yeay! Another victory for us!" Kanaria raised both hands, asking for a high five from Aileen.

"O-oh! Yay?!" Aileen, although accustomed to their presence, still wasn't used to their playful action. She awkwardly gave a high five.

"Congratulations on your overwhelming victory." Christina smiled. "To think you actually have a pseudo unique ability, it's truly amazing. Has your previous master told you about your talent?"

"Mhmm?" Aileen thought for a moment before shaking her head. "No. I don't think he's aware of it in the first place."

"Well, the information about it might be available, but everyone will have a hard time seeing it in the first place, so they might not be aware of it." Christina nodded in understanding.

"Still, what is this pseudo unique ability? I have listened to what the dean said about it, but I'm still confused."

The others looked at Christina, curious about the same thing, especially Jay and Erwin. They had to work harder if they didn't want to get replaced as Clovis' right and left-hand men.

Christina rubbed her chin a few times before raising her finger. "Hmm… How do I explain this? To put it simply, Unique abilities defy logic, while pseudo unique abilities can be grasped by logic.

"Look at me, Clovis, and Tesron. I have the ability to provoke things, not limited to people, which makes you have the urge to attack me. Clovis' unique ability allows him to receive all five affinities. Meanwhile, Tesron's unique ability allows him to see the future. They are something you're born with and can't be acquired any other way.

"However, let's see your pseudo unique ability. While it's true that you were born with this talent, can't you say that an assassin who has reached the mastery of erasing its presence will reach the same result as you?

"How about Tesron? What if there's a man who has trained his precognitive ability to the point his prediction feels like seeing into the future? Still, even if he has reached that level, it's still not at Tesron's level, right? After all, Tesron's unique ability is something he's born with, while the other is something that can be acquired through one's own effort.

"This is the fundamental difference between unique ability and pseudo unique ability." Christina explained.

Jay and Erwin clenched their fists. There was a gap between them because they were not born with the same qualities. Still, they might acknowledge that they didn't have a unique ability. However, both of them knew that if they wanted to retain their positions, they should acquire this pseudo unique ability.

Since Christina said they could acquire it through hard work, both of them swore they would do it. The world might be unfair for not giving them such a thing, but they would be the loser if they died without one.

"Oh my. It seems I have told you unnecessary information." Christina noticed the burning desire Jay and Erwin had.

"As expected of the unique ability. Even without using it, you are able to provoke those two." Kanaria smirked, teasing both of them.

"Don't be too complacent." Erwin pointed at Aileen. "You might be ahead right now, but I will be the one on top soon."

Aileen chuckled. "If you can beat me, that is, but your ego has just made you say it with words that invite misunderstanding, you know?"

"Huh?" Erwin froze, recounting what he said. He suddenly felt embarrassed and harrumphed. "Anyway, I'll be preparing for the next match. And I'm going to win."

"Yes. I'll be cheering for you from here." Aileen grinned.

Erwin completely lost the momentum and embarrassedly left the room.

"Hehehe." Aileen was smiling from ear to ear. She was probably the only one who could treat the arrogant Erwin like a little boy.

"Erwin is definitely going to have a hard time against her." Kanaria whispered to Christina.

"I agree." Christina nodded.

"By the way, Christina. Are you sure it's alright for you to be here? Shouldn't you accompany your grandfather?" Aileen had the mood of teasing Christina as well. "Let's see… Your grandfather… might be talking about your engagement, you know?"

Christina looked surprised at first but soon turned to Kanaria.

Kanaria simply chuckled. "Well, I have expected it from the beginning. If not for such a thing, there's no reason for her to meet Clovis or even have joint training together."

Christina smiled wryly. "As someone from a prestigious family, there's no way someone like me can have a say about my marriage. My family is more lax regarding this aspect, though.

"They are simply testing multiple people at the same time of the same level and letting me pick who is the one more enjoyable since I will have to live with that person for the rest of my life."

"You're not jealous or something?" Aileen blinked her eyes a few times.

"Why should I? My perspective about family is different from you guys. For me, family is a connection. Even if I have a child, that child will be the one leading the Elseingarde family in the future, so I don't really care about the succession problem.

"Although monogamy has been around for a long time, in ancient times, polygamy allowed you to show that you're wealthy or powerful enough to sustain multiple wives along with their families. Well, love is built, not something we fall into, at least for me. If the others don't mind me, then I don't mind either. And I can clearly say Clovis is much more fun." Christina shrugged.

Aileen smiled wryly. Their views were indeed different. At the same time, it wasn't her place to refute her claim, since that view had also thousands of years of foundation.

Aileen let out a long sigh before saying, "Sorry. I shouldn't have asked that."

"It's fine." Christina nodded. "Anyway, Erwin's match is about to start. I wonder how far he can go, especially with that map."

Aileen couldn't help but squint her eyes, knowing the difficulty of this map. The map was Plain C, which resembled a plain field with only two trees. Erwin's power couldn't be utilized properly in this terrain, so she wondered if Erwin had something that could lead him to victory.
