Chapter 1972 Testimony

That was the first and last question from the participants. The illustration alone was enough to make them question themselves.

Some of them believed that the path they had taken was the right one. So, they were planning to continue on this path until they reached their limit.

Some of them wondered if this was correct or not. They planned to use this chance to get the answer.

But the rest didn't know whether they had even started climbing or not.

In the end, they split into ten groups and went to their respective venue where they could talk with the rest of the people.

Grace, who was walking with her father and grandfather, couldn't help but ask, "Grandfather. What do you think about that question?"

The Great Mage smiled and patted her head. "That's a good illustration. There was a time when I felt so lost. I questioned myself whether the path I chose was correct or not. I

"It was a dilemma that I had a hard time figuring out. Take a look at your father, he is still wondering about those questions. It seems that it's a bit too early to take you here…"

Grace looked down, feeling a bit sad. "It seems that it's too wasteful to bring me here. You should have brought Uncle Max instead of me."

"Actually, I want to believe in your potential." The Great Mage shook his head. "You are smart and reached this point while being a Supreme Rank Expert. A part of me wants you to reach the next step.

"I have been trying to guide you there, but as expected, it's hard because I'm restricted by a lot of things. The apocalypse, do you know that it's because of a certain distortion of this special power?

"If I easily tell you the secret, it will cause another apocalypse. Maybe if I only tell you here, it might not reach that level. But there will surely be some setbacks.

"That's why I can only guide you there, but not tell you. However, Theodore Griffith is different.

"He reached this level when he was only a Supreme Rank Expert. And before long, he had reached the next step.

"So, he must have a unique understanding of this power. After understanding his intention and method, I believe that coming here is the correct choice. His understanding is profound and with his ability to teach, there should be a few people that manage to break through.

"That's why I want you to follow all his instructions. Try to question yourself and try to share as much as possible. You can share everything that is not related to the family's secret in my opinion.

"It might give you some disadvantages right now. But if that can allow you to understand your power and attain this unique power, the disadvantages will be gone since you'll be relying on this unique power more than your previous power."

"…" Grace looked down, thinking about it. This was a piece of advice from the Great Mage, so it should be correct.

The others who walked near them couldn't help but eavesdrop on their conversation. It seemed that they were planning to do the same.

If these disadvantages could give them an opportunity to break through, it was worth it.

It seemed that the venues that had Transcendent Level Experts were more open toward each other. They decided to take risks in order to obtain this power.

A quick look at will leave you more fulfilled.

Of course, some of them asked for permission from their bosses first. After all, this was a matter of great importance.

This was Theo's reason for allowing the three Transcendent Level Experts to participate. He wanted them to convince more people.

Those three were not affiliated with him, so their opinion shouldn't be biased unlike the Transcendent Level Experts on Theo's side.

Meanwhile, Theo returned to his room for a moment to allow those people to discuss their abilities a bit.

Surprisingly, Rea entered his room while bringing him tea. "Here you go, Teacher."

"Mhm…" Theo nodded.

"Should we start our plan?" Rea asked.

"No. Let's leave them be for the first day. We can start from the second day."

"Got it." Rea nodded in agreement. "Let me confirm this. We are going to call the people who are affiliated with the influences that don't talk bad about us, right? And depending on their intention to our group, we might tell them about the real requirements.

"If the others see them leaving because of us, they will start wondering what's happening. At first, we can try to ask them to not give away the information, making them curious.

"Then, there will be a few people who are close to each other and end up leaking the information.

"That leak will turn into rumors. As long as we don't address the rumors, they will believe it's true. And they'll consider whether they're trying to suck up to us or stay with the government.

"The opinion will be split and there will be some friction in their faction. This way, the government's rise will slow down or even halt."

Rea had nothing but praise for Theo's manipulations. He knew how to incite others' greed and used it to his advantage.

He only did whatever he had promised, but the way he handled it could easily bring down his enemies.

It was truly marvelous. In fact, even she couldn't help but see her own family's destruction if they made Theo their enemy. It seemed that her father had seen this far ahead.

Asking Theo to bring her with him was probably the best decision her father had made in his entire life.

"Yea. If there is something more, I'll inform you about it. Just make sure to arrange my schedule properly, so this training camp doesn't last longer than we anticipated. I have to start preparing for the next war after all."

"Understood." Rea acknowledged his words and bowed politely before leaving the room.

Theo left them for two hours before he began to enter each venue to teach them.
