Go Beyond
Humans are creatures that aim to improve.
No, they have to aim for it.
Higher and higher
Faster and faster
Stronger and more
But alas, there's always a wall ahead
There is a wall called talent
Improvement always requires new ideas, concepts and techniques.
It is the geniuses in their fields who are always ahead of the curve.
But that's fine
Genius opens the way
An ordinary person will organize the path
A new genius will move further and faster on that paved path.
Genius alone cannot sustain human activities.
Ordinary talents alone cannot sustain human activities.
Both are necessary
Because both are necessary
It is the sin of ordinary people to look down on geniuses because they cannot understand them.
It is the sin of a genius to look down on ordinary people because they don't understand.
The simplest and quickest way is to understand each other.
"Old man!"
The children in front of me are ordinary people.
But being an ordinary person is not the problem.
They are not unnecessary lives.
"Are you done yet?"
"Yeah, Al and Fenn almost solved it..."
I told them it's okay
It's okay if they complement each other with what they know and what they don't know.
Above all, they have something that is absolutely indispensable in aiming for improvement.
"Can you tell me the next problem?"
"Ah, that's right..."
They have the morale, the motivation, the drive.
They have something that they absolutely must have, regardless of whether they have talent or not.
"Old man"
"It's about time you called me by my name, you know"
"It’s more than that!"
Thule looks kind of embarrassed.
"Um, can... can you teach me how to fight?"
"What happened all of a sudden?"
"You know, I'm not as smart as Al and Fenn. But I'm everyone's leader..."
"Do you want to become stronger to protect your friends?"
"...!"
I don't understand why you're so embarrassed about the idea of wanting power to protect yourself.
"Wouldn’t it be troublesome if they came again when the old man wasn’t around?"
"...…"
"That's why…"
"These are the words of the person who taught me knowledge, so listen carefully."
"Yeah"
"Basic tactics are the source of injury"
"What do you mean?"
"It means that if you acquire half-baked knowledge or skills, you will fail."
"…Is it no good?"
"...Everyone! Please gather around!"
I must return to the Emperor soon.
I can't take responsibility for all of them.
"Thule said he wanted to learn more than he already has. What do you guys think?"
There are no words
But everyone's looking into my eyes
...And if so, is it my responsibility as an adult to take care of them until the end?
"I have to go back to my country soon."
Ah, why does Al shed tears just by telling them this?
"If you guys want to learn more from me. You should come to the Empire."
"Empire... can we go?"
"I told you, right? I'm such a great person that no one in the Empire didn't know about me!"
You guys really don't believe my words.
Tears is about to flow from my eyes
"The Empire is at the cutting edge of everything, and you can learn everything. At the same time, it can be too demanding for those of you who are in this country."
Compared to this continent, the empire is more complex in many areas.
They need to memorize 64 times more laws and more than they do in this country.
"You might not even have time to sleep, you know? You might just be moving around every day. Do you still want to come with me?"
Silence spreads
But it's not due to hesitation
They're thinking about who will take the lead.
"I'm going. Old man, let me study at the Empire."
"Okay. And call me by name."
Thule answered on behalf of them
