Upon hearing the questioning of one of the Terry family elders, the people in that hall realized that such a thing was indeed a problem.
After all, those interested in the position of sect master could not simply sit around for a whole year without knowing what would happen.
They had disputed such a position in the past and were already moving back. So it would be a problem if they told these young people that the competition would stop for a year.
They would look like Minos' minions if they changed the rules in the middle of the game to benefit him...
On the other hand, while a year might not be an exaggerated period, and there were ways to circumvent problems related to this, Minos was still unknown.
So the young talents of this sect, who would become elders in the near future and eventually replace these twelve individuals, did not know whether or not Minos was capable.
