"That squad? They're decent, I suppose. A rather ordinary squad, but the people are nice... Oh, and there's a very interesting young man in it."
"Oh? Do tell."
Flora's words immediately piqued Beixila's curiosity. A young man described as "very interesting" by the Kingdom's magical genius couldn't possibly be simple.
"In a little over half a month, he went from scratch, comprehended Skills on his own, and became a Professional."
Indeed, the very first thing she said was astonishing enough.
Beixila thought back. "Duke Preston, the Extraordinary Level Warrior hailed as the Kingdom's Sword... even he took nearly a month to advance, didn't he?"
"Twenty-three days."
Flora remembered it clearly. "And Duke Preston had existing Skills to learn from, plus guidance from a master teacher."
"In that case, he truly is a rare genius. Given time, he might be able to match or even surpass Duke Preston."
"And that's not all."
