Chapter 1970 Questions
Chapter 1970 Questions
Inside the hotel, there was a huge venue where all the people gathered in order to hear the briefing from Theo.
"There are so many people here…" Grace looked around, finding more than three hundred people inside the venue.
They were people who had contributed to the previous battle.
It could be said that they were the most elite fighters in their respective influence. After all, the materials that were going to be taught in this training camp were the most advanced. If they didn't have enough skill or knowledge, they wouldn't be able to understand it.
That was why all influences sent their best fighters.
"Hoho… This is interesting. To think that I would be able to see all these people here." The Great Mage smiled while patting Grace's shoulder.
"Well, it's easy for you to meet a few of them, but I guess, no one can gather them in a single place." Grace smiled awkwardly.
"Yeah. Except for one person…" The Great Mage nodded while looking at the stage as if watching Theo explain something.
Grace nodded. Only one person was qualified to gather all of them, it was Theo.
Suddenly, there was an echo that silenced the room, followed by Magic Power which filled the room. The Magic Power was overwhelming to the point the people inside felt they were being crushed.
The people were oblivious and tried to find the source of the pressure. And that was when they started sensing Theo's presence on top of the stage.
Theo had already stood on top of the stage. It seemed that he had been standing there for a while, since no one saw him walking in.
"!!!" They suddenly gasped. Their bodies were shaken, realizing that if Theo wanted to kill them, they couldn't even fight back.
No one realized Theo was standing there the whole time. So, could they even realize if Theo killed them?
They were staring at the man, who had yet to reach thirty years old, but had become one of the strongest in the world. It was clear that Theo would become the strongest very soon and his reign would last for a long time.
No one was able to kill Theo when he was weak. And now that Theo had the strength to go against the world, it was impossible to kill him anymore.
So, they could either remain neutral or stay on his good side. This was actually the warning from Theo. He wanted to let them know what it meant to go against him.
Theo's face remained calm. He looked at them for a few seconds before saying, "I'm kind of disappointed that no one can feel my presence this whole time."
No one spoke up, not because it was a fact, but because they were afraid of Theo.
Theo remained silent for a few seconds, building tension inside the hall. After that, he raised his hand, released golden particles and said, "I know what you're looking for. I'm sure that you are already aware that people who have gone to this step will have a different color of Magic Power.
"However, have you ever thought why their Magic Power is different? Is it because they have honed their abilities to the limit? Or is it because they have surpassed the limit?
"The answer is actually none of those." Theo's statement bewildered them. After all, those two reasons were the most accepted rumors. Still, Theo didn't care about their thoughts and continued, "The answer is simple. It's not about the limit, it's about the condition.
"People set a limit to themselves. They said, 'Look at those people, they have achieved this at this age. They have done those at this age. Why can't you do the same? Or you should surpass that record, creating a new record.'
"But… have you asked yourself, 'Why should I care about the record? Is that really the measurement?' Technology has evolved continuously. From a humongous computer to a small one that could fit into your bag to this." Theo raised his Skylink. "You are currently seeing the evolution just from this one perspective. You don't care about the components that are built into the system.
"You don't care about the nanotechnology that was not possible to create in the past, but now it can be easily built. You don't see the rare raw materials that couldn't be harvested before but are possible with the current technology.
"That's why you don't realize that this small Skylink comes from many parts that have been evolving through the ages." Theo smiled. "Why am I talking about it? I think you all have figured it out already. Yes, it's the same if you want to reach this level.
"The limit is something you have to surpass, yes. However, that's not all. There are other things you have to consider.
"Hence, I want to start our training camp with these three questions. I hope that you can think about it during the training camp.
"Your current strength, is it truly the true you or is it because you have to adjust to the situation that you have to wield your current ability?
"Have you ever thought what you have been doing might be wrong or right? If yes, then do you think you will continue to do it for the rest of your life?
"Lastly, if I tell you to drop your ability in order to gain this strength, will you do it?"
Theo stopped for a moment. These three questions were linked to the requirements to be recognized by the world. So, they had to answer this question.
The people couldn't help but look down. Some even had started pondering those questions already.
Grace, who was smart but still a bit too far from the requirement, couldn't help but ask her grandfather. "Grandpa, those questions…"
The Great Mage only smiled. He had already answered those questions in the past, and that was why he could get his Order.
But as expected, Grace was still a bit far from it. Even though she was smart, she wouldn't be able to easily reach the answer.
To answer Grace's doubt, he pointed his finger to the side, specifically to her father, who had lowered his head as if the questions shook his heart.
