Parallel Memory

Chapter 508 Returning To Eldoria! [2]

Inside the Elvenʼs Royal Castle, there were only two people in the meeting room.

”Elara, what about Zero Elea?”

King Tranduil asked Elara. At the moment when the geniuses were out to go to the Luminary Spring, King Tranduil and Elara were having a discussion.

They talked about the geniuses and their potential. Elara already knew about most of them and seemed to have an idea about their power and what they would achieve in the future.

And of course, that includes Hiro and his group which will garner a lot of attention in the future due to their insane talents.

Elara already had a list that was similar to King Tranduilʼs which kept a record of geniuses with very high potential.

Thatʼs when King Tranduil asked about Zero Elea, one of the people who was at the very top of his list.

With his ability to defeat Rank-S - and fight with Elenia, King Tranduil had no doubt that he would be very powerful in the future.

And he assumed Elara would know exactly how strong he was and would become!

”Zero Elea? Who is that?”

Elara, however, was rather confused and asked. Unlike King Tranduil, Elara didnʼt have the name Zero Elea on his list. ”Huh? Didnʼt you see anyone with that name?”

King Tranduil asked confusedly.

”Not Really!”

Elara replied.

”But he is very talented and better than many geniuses. In fact, he might become stronger than Mia Frostine when he returns. Even your Hiro Ernest didnʼt seem as good as him!”

King Tranduil said.

He had a feeling that with the help of Luminary Spring, Zero might just end up becoming the strongest person, however, that was just a feeling and he knew that it would all depend on his luck and talent.

”Really? I donʼt believe it!”

Elara answered. She didnʼt think that anyone would exceed the talent of Hiro, this was because he had seen the future where Hiro became ridiculously strong.

To the point that Elara expects that Hiro might even go beyond the rank of SSS. Well, that was his guess and he couldnʼt see that far in the future.

In any case, because of what she had already seen, she was adamant that no one could compare to Hiro and his talent.

Another reason was that she wasnʼt present most of the time to watch the battle of the geniuses and didnʼt really see Zeroʼs real power. At most, she would come to watch the battle of Hiro and others whom she knew and wasnʼt really interested in other people. If she did then even with what she knows, she would have agreed with King Tranduilʼs statement without any doubts.

Anyway, she didnʼt believe King Tranduil and thought that he was just ignorant of HIroʼs power and what he would achieve.

”Iʼm puzzled why you donʼt know Zero Elea, even though you know many others. But I truly believe heʼs got the talent to be one of the strongest. Maybe, just maybe, heʼs the one who can save us when the calamity strikes.”

King Tranduil said. He didnʼt know why but he just got that feeling.

”In any case, we will know when they come back!”

Elara said. She was also curious to see just who was the person who could make King Tranduil say those words.

”I am also looking forward to it. I hope they bring us some good surprises. Otherwise, all our effort will be in vain!”

”What were you thinking?”

Aranic yelled to the group of geniuses who previously rushed towards those Rank-S monsters and got beaten up. With Amelia and others healing them, they had recovered quickly.

”...”

Those geniuses quietly stayed quiet with their heads down. They couldnʼt retort as they knew that it was their own fault and Aranic was the one who saved them. So without complaining, they were listening to Aranic scolding them. However, if they werenʼt defeated, they wouldnʼt have been willing to listen to any of this.

Aranicʼs stern gaze swept across the group of geniuses, his expression a mixture of frustration and disappointment. The aftermath of the battle against the formidable monsters left the once overconfident geniuses battered and humbled.

”You all, have you learned nothing from the tournament? Always remember there is someone stronger than you.” Aranicʼs voice resonated with authority. ”Your newfound powers do not make you invincible. Thereʼs a reason we warned you to be cautious and not to act recklessly.”

He approached the group, his eyes fixed on those who had been particularly overconfident. The overzealous genius who challenged the Griffin and the others who thought they could easily handle the Hydra and Thunderclaw Dragon were now nursing wounds.

The geniuses, who were once filled with arrogance, now shifted uncomfortably under Aranicʼs scrutiny. They exchanged glances, without being able to say anything to make their action look better.

”Understanding your own strength and knowing the strengths and weaknesses of your opponents is crucial.”

”Power without wisdom is a dangerous weapon,” Aranic continued, his tone unwavering. ”You were lucky this time that we were here to save you, but luck wonʼt always be on your side.”

The geniuses, who were once filled with arrogance, now shifted uncomfortably under Aranicʼs scrutiny. They exchanged glances, without being able to say anything to make their action look better.

”Understanding your own strength and knowing the strengths and weaknesses of your opponents is crucial.”

Aranic lectured.

Aranicʼs words were like a cold shower, waking the geniuses from their illusions of grandeur. Zero and others who werenʼt so hot-headed, just stood by the side and waited for Aranic to finish lecturing them.

Some found it funny, especially those who were weaker than those geniuses. At least, they knew their own limit and didnʼt recklessly head charge like them and almost kill.

Now those same arrogant geniuses were getting scolded. So they watched those arrogant geniuses getting lectured with a hint of smugness. ƒrēe

”Please, keep this in mind and donʼt make the same mistake again.”

*SIGH!

Aranic wanted to scold some more but decided against it. Although they had eliminated all the monsters that had attacked them, it didnʼt mean there wouldnʼt be more.

This wasnʼt an ideal place for him to take his time and lecture this group of geniuses.

He could just hope that these words and the consequences of their action would prevent them from being reckless again.

”Okay! Letʼs move forward. We donʼt have the luxury of time to dwell on this further,” Aranic sighed, his frustration evident. ”But remember, the next time you act recklessly, you might not be as fortunate.”
