If there is one thing more dangerous than a terrorist, it is a person who gives threats while smiling. That is the next level of psychological manipulation, the kind that Kent used to send his message.
The smile, the words, and the way they were delivered were just too chilling for most not to hear him. Initially, Kent wanted to patronise everyone, but when he saw Elder Mikko and scanned her, he knew he was still lacking.
He saw that when it came to speed, he was lacking, and so he changed his mind. He needed to focus on improving himself.
The sect is a place filled with the best and the brightest, so in one way or another, he is going to find someone with something unique he can't measure up to, and if he wants to reach perfection and surpass his past selves, then he must ensure he was the best version of them all.
Vexthra, being a goddess and knowing what it takes to reach that stage, advised him to improve the smallest aspect of himself.
