Surprisingly, Enoch supported Arthdal ​​and helped me.

“I guess this is what it means to have a lot of potentials, but no talent.” Arthdal, who had been glaring at me for a long time, sighed and evaluated me very sharply and coldly.

I was so embarrassed to hear that from someone who had been sticking with me all day to explain how to control mana. Even so, I had no intention of showing him that I could handle mana easily, so I remained silent.

“That’s because I’ve never done this before. If I practice, I will get better.”

Despite my answer, Arthdal shook his head in skepticism.

“Anyway, what else is there to do? Young Lady is the only person who can use mana. There’s no other way, so keep practicing.”

At Arthdal’s words, I quietly nodded my head.

So we continued practicing mana control until Ruzef came down from the second floor and prepared dinner.

Several squirrels were caught in the trap I had set up, and thanks to that, we were able to eat dinner moderately. We sat down in front of the fireplace and ate meat.

Ruzef, who was eating while sighing as if he had no appetite, said, “If someone purposely locked us up on this island, there must be a purpose, right? But no matter how much I think about it, I don’t know why.”

Hearing Ruzef’s muttering, Arthdal, who was gracefully eating meat, nodded. He wiped his mouth with the handkerchief made from tearing his clothes and replied, “Yeah, it even seems like a God’s joke.”

A God’s joke……

Hearing that, suddenly, a memory hidden beyond my consciousness came to mind.

“Dice game……”

“What?”

I mumbled in a very low voice, but Arthdal asked back. Did he hear it? Enoch and Ruzef also looked at me.

But I don’t have time to care about their gazes. This is because I suddenly remembered the meaning of the word Alea, which I learned in physical education class.

“Maybe……” I thought deeply and then raised my head. “Maybe Alea is the name of this island, not a person.”

“Alea is this island’s name?”

Arthdal asked me back. I stared blankly at the men who looked at me.

“The word Alea[1] means ‘dice game’ in the language of ethnic minorities in the eastern continent. The dice game is all about fate, no matter how hard you try…… But why is a word with such meaning engraved all over the island?”

[1] 알레아 (Alea): Rule, change of mind. The Latin word for dice. A game in which the rules exist, but the player does not have complete control over the outcome of his or her will.

It feels like a storm has come into my head. I grabbed my hair.

Ruzef opened his mouth carefully, “So what you mean is……”

“I think we are being tested. If Alea is not the name of this island, it could be the name of the experiment.”

“Who dares to test us?” This time, Arthdal asked.

“I don’t know. I think we should find out from now on. Those behind this don’t only speak the official language of the western continent, but also the language of the eastern continent.”

To be precise, the official languages of the western continent, Korean, and English. If someone really designed this island, wouldn’t he know the language of this world and the language of another?

“If it’s an experiment, there might be someone on the island watching us.”

I nodded at Enoch’s words.

“It is most likely.”

After I answered, there was silence for quite some time. Everyone fell silent with thoughtful expressions on their faces.

It was clear that each of them was looking back on their past to see if anyone wanted to test them.

I also thought of the original content, but again, I didn’t read the novel to the end, so nothing more came to mind.

Then I brought up my new discovery. “Come to think of it, don’t we all have something else in common?”

Everyone’s eyes turned to me again at my words. The three men look at each other’s faces with completely clueless expressions.

I looked at them and continued, “We all have a tremendous amount of mana that is many times that ordinary people have.”

Not everyone is born with magical or divine powers. Only a few people are born with mana, and those who were stranded on this island are those with very strong magical powers and divine powers.

Not to mention Kayden, Enoch and Diego are among the few skilled swordsmen who can use magic-based swordsmanship. Ruzef is the youngest archbishop with tremendous divine power, and Yuanna is also the first saint to appear in a hundred years.

Arthdal’s mana reserves are not widely known, but all his colleagues at the Hestia Academy know it, so Enoch mentioned it in the original work.

At first, he thought he was being kidnapped because of his social status, but in fact, there was no benefit in kidnapping some high-ranking people on a remote island.

Unless it’s for war.

This is because the abductees are major figures in different institutions and in different countries.

“If the kidnapper brought us to this island for experimentation, then it would be more reasonable to say that it is because of the mana we have.”

Enoch nodded in agreement with me.

Of course, even if it was a kidnapping for an experiment, there was a very high possibility that each country would not know the reason for our disappearance anyway.

If so, this would also be the cause of the outbreak of the continental war.

“But there is one more mystery. What kind of experiments are they going to do with our mana to the point they are ready for a continental war?”

Ruzef has a point.

As I listened to him, I suddenly thought.

Wouldn’t the presence of modern objects on this island and the fact that the kidnapper speaks Korean and English be a clue? Then, is the person who kidnapped us from another world?

If so, there is no need to worry about the continental war. They seemed to have kidnapped the ones with the strongest mana unconditionally without considering their status.

However, this reasoning is also kind of impossible to confide in, so I kept my mouth shut in frustration.

In order for me to tell them this, I must find solid evidence that can convince them.

The credibility I’ve barely built can be easily destroyed if I share the information I don’t know for sure.

“If what we have in common is strong mana, and that is the reason for our abduction, there is another question. Why did the kidnapper gather people with powerful mana but prevent them from using it on the island, and why is only Young Lady Floné able to use it?”

This time, Ruzef pointed out the most important part.

“From my point of view, it may have been the experimenter’s mistake to leave Margaret’s mana behind. And sealing our mana is like testing our limits.”

Enoch sighed in annoyance. His words sounded quite plausible.

“This is to test our limits in the absence of our mana, that makes sense. In fact, it is very difficult for the subject to accurately grasp the purpose of the experimenter.”

Arthdal, who was sitting with his arms crossed, agreed with Enoch and added so.

As I watched them reason and conclude on their own, I opened my mouth. “Then I think it would be good to find common ground in things that have the letter ‘Alea’ engraved on them.”

When I saw question marks appearing on the faces of the three men looking at me, I pulled out my flare gun. And I pointed to the word Alea engraved on the side of the flare gun.

“It seems the word ‘Alea’ is engraved on the objects the experimenter touched.”

At my words, everyone looked at the word ‘Alea’ engraved on the flare gun and fell in thought.

“Come to think of it, according to Lord, the word Alea is also engraved on the body of the monsters.”

At Enoch’s words, Arthdal ​​frowned.

“Then it means that the experimenter also controls monsters.”

Ruzef, who was quietly listening to the conversation, added, “Oh, there’s also this word in the hallway window on the second floor.”

Only then did I remember that the whiny Ruzef had gone up to the second floor earlier. I guess that’s when he discovered it.

If so, it means that this cabin was also touched by the experimenter.

“If this word is engraved on the things the experimenter touched, things like that may continue to appear in the future.”

“For now, the only thing we can do is watch.”

Enoch replied to me. I nodded my head. A sigh broke out of everyone’s mouth at the same time.

“When the excursion members return, it would be better to hear the information about the key and come up with a plan.”

In order to come up with proper countermeasures, Yuanna and the others must return as soon as possible.

When the long meeting was over, everyone looked at me. Arthdal looked at me with meaningful eyes, which made me even more embarrassed.

“What?”

“I think I can see why Banhwang wanted to include Young Lady as a member of the excursion.”

Hearing Arthdal’s muttering, Enoch and Ruzef kept nodding their heads, making proud faces.

Oh, you mean I’m smart? I smiled as I tossed my hair flowing down my chest to behind my shoulders.

“I have a good grasp of the situation and have a lot of determination.”

While I was showing off like that, Arthdal shook his head, and Enoch and Ruzef avoided my gaze for a moment.

Well, these days, it’s been said that honest people are more popular than humble ones.
