Lightning Is the Only Way

Arc laughed as he smirked smugly. "Actually, this entire thing was created by me."

"By you?" Gravis asked. "Does this mean that this comprehension method only exists in this world?"

"No, it exists in every world," Arc said.

Gravis blinked a couple of times. "Could you explain?"

"Well, it's like this," Arc said as he leaned back with a smile. "I hate seeing talent getting wasted. Yet, what is talent? What is the definition of talent? That's something debatable, but in my mind, talent represents the mindset of a Cultivator and their affinity towards the Laws."

"Someone that manages to comprehend Laws faster than others is obviously more talented. However, what allows someone to comprehend Laws faster?"

"It's the mindset," Arc said, tapping his head. "Specifically, the enjoyment of comprehending Laws and the abilities of the mind. If comprehending Laws is a chore, it will be far harder for you to focus and force you to comprehend Laws. At some point, you will also become burned out."

"The next thing is how you go about comprehending Laws. You, for example, are a very logical person. You analyze all the individual details and combine them into one whole concept. Like this, you comprehended a Law."

"This was all it has been for a really, really long time. However, this meant that only the logical people that loved finding problems and solving them became really powerful."

"So, I started comparing the Laws to people. You can analyze a person and run innumerable tests on them until you know how they will react to any given situation."

"Yet, are there not also people that know how someone will react just based on how that person feels to them? Your friend, Ferris, is one of these beings. You have already seen that he has a great talent for finding trustworthy people. However, you also know that Ferris definitely isn't the sharpest tool in the shed."

"So, how come that he is even better at judging others than you?"

"It's his empathy and feeling," Gravis answered. "Ferris trusts his feelings and somehow knows if that person is trustworthy or not."

"Exactly," Arc said with a smirk. "So, why is it that the Laws can't be comprehended like this?"

"The answer is actually rather simple," Arc said. "Because my creator designed it in such a way."

"Even though I dislike my creator immensely, I contacted him and told him about this change. Why not also allow a Law to be comprehended the other way around?"
