�How come it�s not working? He�s pushed his body to the limits� So why can�t he open Schema?�

Kite wiped away the tears with his thick arms.

This shouldn�t be the case. What would become of Rian if even his own teacher were to doubt him?

Kite intercepted Rian�s iron bar.

This time, Rian did not protest and stopped moving because his teacher had stopped him with his own hand.

�Rian, that�s enough. Let�s call it a day.�

Rian�s madness disappeared with that warm voice, and with that, his arms gave out, and without even knowing that the bar had fallen to the ground, Rian replied with his head down.

�Okay. Thank you.�

Kite wrapped an ice towel around Rian�s shoulders. Seeing that the bones were not damaged, he was surprised at the sturdiness of Rian�s bones.

Sitting on the hill of the training grounds, Rian was staring at the distant mountain with a fierce expression.

�What are you thinking about?�

�That my arms are killing me.�

There was a small smile on Kite�s face.

�Rian, I�ve never written about your talent in a report.�

�Tsk, did I ask?�

�But I think you�re talented. Achieving something quickly is not the only indicator of talent. Reaching for the unachievable is a talent as well.�

�You don�t have to comfort me. It�s only those words that are sweet. Frankly speaking, I�m only working this hard because I�m not talented.�

�Is it really though? A genius knows that they�re a genius, so they are clearly aware of what they can do. Have you ever thought of that?�

�Well, I do know what I�can�t�do.�

�Yes. That�s why you�re not a genius.�

Rian looked back at Kite with a ridiculous look.

He was adding fuel to the fire. He was a teacher who made both his arms and heart hurt.

�Stop it. I already know that.�

Looking at his pouting student, Kite smiled.

�But Rian, do you know what a genius is afraid of? They�re afraid of effort. Geniuses work hard, but their level of effort is different from normal people. They may experience setbacks and pain, but there exists no doubt as they only do what they can. So effort is a powerful weapon for those who aren�t geniuses. You�re trying because you�re not talented? Don�t even start with that. While talent guarantees you something, effort can grant you something talent can�t. And that thing is will.�

Kite grabbed Rian by the shoulder and squeezed.

�You have the will to challenge the nigh-insurmountable. That will is something not everyone has. Simply put, will power is the natural enemy of a genius.�

Rian liked that. It didn�t matter to him if they were just words of comfort.

Yeah, he didn�t have talent, but he knew that despite the fact he wasn�t born with a road to success, he could pave it himself.
