Progression [Pt 2]

[01 Months: 10 Days: 04 Hours]

"Theo is such a prodigy, you know? As expected of one with the blood of the Lyma Family flowing through him… his progress so far has been abnormally fast."

Drius couldn't stop gushing about how Theo was an excellent student, and his incredible affinity for Martial Arts. I could see it was embarassing the boy a little, but I couldn't stop the proud instructor from having a good time.

"Well, since Theo is faring better than most, I guess we can all be optimistic about his prospects in combat." I smiled in response.

"Yes! Exactly! The Young Master is that talented."

"You guys… ah, come on."

We all laughed and smiled as the conversation continued flowing in that direction. 

Surely, it would be nice if I could groom him to be the perfect leader—both in power and resources. Theo rising meant I would too.

However…

'This isn't enough.' My thoughts echoed, masked by my outward laughter.
