Later on, that night...

"Hey, I know we talked about it before, but seriously, what did you think about Lyra's performance? We could discuss it right now, I think..." Cassie asked, while burying her body in the blanket.

They couldn't discuss the issue fully during their way back.

Cyan positioned himself near his wife and closed the book he was reading.

"Absolutely astonishing. And she said she only learned everything from what she saw during Alt's birthday parties, the books, others' way of conduct, and some shows? Is that even possible?" Cyan put his hand on his chin, thinking.

"It's something that you need to get used to doing... Practice and training would make it perfect. Even if she can absorb the knowledge about it in a rapid speed, she would still need practice..."

"You think so, too?"

"Yes. It's really a mystery... Altaire was also gifted, but it's just that he's a fast learner. He needed practices to attain the good results. Lyra's different."

Cassie knows comparing her children isn't a good thing, but they clearly need a parameter. Obviously, Lyra is not your average girl.

...but then again, Altaire can't be a good parameter for comparison.

Still.

"Yeah. I am glad we are blessed with such gifted children, but Lyra... Hey, you aren't frightened by our own daughter, right?" Cyan asked, but his question was way too absurd, that Cassie was flabbergasted.

"Huh? Are you kidding me? No way! No matter how, she is still our daughter! ...Or, are you frightened of her because of this?"

"No, I won't! She's our cherished daughter!" Cyan raised his voice.

"..."

The two of them glared at each other in silence.

...Oops.

(Hope we are not too loud... The children might be sleeping...)

"...Actually, Lyra is really a wonder. Like how she seemed to understand everything we said even when she was still a young toddler, how she was a very obedient and mature child... It's like...," Cassie stopped.

"...Like...?"

"...Like she's known everything from the beginning of her life...? Can she read minds, maybe?"

"Well... I beg to differ. Look, some of her knowledge is quite outdated, and we had to correct her sometimes... So perhaps that is not the case."

"...True. ...wait, outdated knowledge?!"

"Yeah, I've read the bibliographies of some influential people in the past... It's written that they [were gifted with the ancient knowledge from the God] or [received divine revelation from God]... Like how [The Hero] gained the said [divine revelation of military strategies and battle techniques], despite being the son of ordinary peasants."

"Do you think Lyra's like that, too?"

"...It can be...?" Cyan was quite unsure.

Hmm, something is not right.

"...wait, I think I have another theory bearing a closer resemblance to her. [The Greatest Magician] was also a precocious child during her younger days, gaining incredible magical knowledge that her family and other people near her didn't even know anything about... And... she also had some outdated knowledge..."
