NGNL: Can't humans do that

"That Werebeast claims to have the ability to read minds. According to him, this ability is a common power among all Werebeast."

"Reading minds?"

"Yes, but based on my observation, it should not be true mind reading. He just deceived me like that."

"Where is the evidence?"

The conversation was concise and refined. The two people sat face to face in this dark cave. No one could see each other, but Su'er felt it was the best.

If the lights were turned on now, he would probably be exposed in Riku eyes, right?

Yes, Riku has returned. Even after the expedition, he did not rest even though he was exhausted. Instead, he came straight to Su'er room.

After returning from the expedition, he never left the room again. Even the necessary food was sent in by Couronne. Even the most insensitive people could feel that Su'er was abnormal. This man seemed to be resisting meeting everyone. Even Credo, who recovered from the fever after receiving the treatment of herbs, came to see him excitedly, but he could not enter this door.

Su'er voice has become hoarse. To be honest, just hearing such a voice made Riku have to picture a haggard look in his mind.

"At that time, he was fiThinkg me and asking me questions. If his ability was really mind reading, then he should have been able to see all the pictures that flashed through my mind at that time, and there was no need to continue to question me."

Su'er tried hard to recall every word and expression of Asano Shirasu in his mind.

"I suddenly remembered that, although I didn't react at the time, when I think about it again now, there is a sentence from that Werebeast that still concerns me. I remember his original words at that time were [Every inch of your muscle changes, pupil contraction, Heartbeat, and even blood flow, all can be seen clearly]."

"You mean...", Riku, who was very quick-witted, instantly understood what Su'er wanted to say.

"Yes, compared to believing that they have the ability to read minds, the fact that the Werebeast has extraordinary five senses is actually confirmed information, so I think that the Werebeast at that time judged the truth of what I said through my muscles and Heartbeat... And this makes sense, doesn't it?" Su'er analyzed calmly.

"That's right, but if you think about it from this point of view, the difficulty of deceiving the Werebeast is not only not reduced, but it is not much different from the situation where they really have the ability to read minds...", Riku tired voice can be heard in the darkness, and perhaps there are still many tricky headaches.

"There's nothing we can do about it, right? After all, it's too difficult for humans to completely control their Heartbeats and blood flow. We're not a monster race like them... Anyway, let's record this information first, and then consider countermeasures later." Su'er frankly stated one of the biggest gains of this operation.

"Well, I'll find a way to solve it later. So, in addition to this information, is there anything else?" Riku calm voice echoed in the cave. This man was like a robot that could always be trusted and would never make mistakes. "I've heard all the processes before their evacuation from Lenny. Don't you want to tell me about it? Your actions alone later."

Su'er subconsciously held his breath.

The air became quiet, and after a long time, Su'er finally opened his mouth.

"I say, Riku," Su'er hesitated. He was struggling whether to say such a thing, but he really couldn't find a more knowledgeable person. "... Humans, are they really incapable of using magic at all?"

"Or is it a power like superpowers? The kind of power that can be used without the help of Elf?"

Su'er asked eagerly, but the answer that came was a fact that didn't even require thinking.

"Humans absolutely can't use magic. I remember you have read about this kind of thing many times in those books, right? Haven't you given up yet?" Riku words were without any mercy. He seemed to completely break all of Su'er unrealistic fantasies. "Although there are still a little bit of Elf in humans, we have no adaptability to Elf at all. How can we use magic?"

"..."

It is undeniable that Su'er knew this. Even when he learned about the existence of such a Sureal magic, he was ecstatic to learn such a power. He even read the relevant books with Ivan, one by one, but in the end he got such a cruel answer.

But,

I am different from you...

Su'er whispered in his Heart.

This body of his, which inexplicably returned to his youth after an inexplicable crossing, is completely original, and it is not a simple matter of the Su'er crossing into the body of someone in this world.

If it is said that every original human in this world has some Elf in their body, then it can be said that Su'er, who came from another world, has no Elf at all - no, Elf are everywhere in this world, so has Su'er kept those Elf in his body between eating and breathing for so many years?

There is no way to know.

Even before the confrontation with Asano Shirasu, Su'er had never thought about this problem, and after returning to the settlement, he has been worried about another thing.

At this point, he can't even check the number of Elf in his body, after all, humans don't know any magic.

"I know", nodded, Su'er finally chose to keep such a thing and didn't say it.

After all, he didn't even know why he suddenly had that strange connection with Asano Shirasu, and the conditions for activation were unknown. He wanted to control the monkey afterwards but failed. The most important thing was the words Asano Shirasu shouted at that time. The white-haired Werebeast didn't sense the flow of spirits.

So, even if it was really magic, it was definitely different from any known magic.

Putting this question deep in his Heart for the time being, Su'er calmly began to tell Riku the reason why he stayed alone, and everything that happened to Lenny and the others after they evacuated... except for the monkey.

His concerns, Asano Shirasu death without leaving any information, the fact that the Werebeast's power and scope of activities would definitely shrink, etc.
