"Are you interested in the traits ranking?"
Angel nodded. He was indeed quite curious. Orichalcum had now been proven fully worthy of the title "Phantom Metal." That made Angel wonder: after all these years of research, which traits had claimed the top spots on Orichalcum's traits ranking?
"If you're interested, I can show it to you," Benbo said.
Angel raised a brow. "Aren't you worried I might spot some clues just from the names on the ranking?"
Benbo let out several strange chuckles. "The scholars from Academy City can look at it, so why can't you? You're far more capable than those Academy City scholars."
"Besides, you might not be able to guess a trait's origin just from its name." As Benbo spoke, it suddenly recalled something and added, "And some trait names are even more bizarre and absurd than yours. Let me ask you this: if you knew nothing at all and saw Love's Return, would you be able to associate it with what that trait actually is?"
Angel said, "...No."
He thought about it carefully. He truly would not have associated it with its current direction.
Angel had previously thought his own naming was rather true to reality, but now... why did it suddenly seem so abstract?
He now somewhat understood why Benbo's expression had been so strange when it heard the trait's name earlier.
"See? Even you can't make the connection, let alone with names chosen by other people." Benbo said. "If you don't believe me, you'll know once you see it. If you can guess a trait's essence from its name, I'll dye my wings pink!"
Angel instinctively glanced at Benbo's layered, multiple wings and imagined Benbo with pink wings.
How should he put it? It would even be a little cute?
"What are you thinking?"
