The Author's POV
Chapter 524
"I'm bored."
Over the course of Lightning Dragon's short life, the same words had been repeated so many times that he had also gotten bored of saying them.
But he couldn't help it.
He had truly gotten bored.
'Prodigy.'
'Next Union head.'
'Humanity's hope.'
Originally known as Liam Nefeli, Lightning Dragon was once hailed as one of mankind's brightest prodigies.
In the past, he had attended the Lock, and that was where he gained his fame.
In spite of this, he had no pleasant memories of the place.
As a transfer student, he had great expectations when he first arrived at the Lock.
Why wouldn't he? It was supposed to be the number one academy in the human domain.
It was a world filled to the brim with huge prodigies who would one day become the backbone of mankind.
His first year at the Lock was probably the best year he had ever had. His constant drive to improve himself, along with his friendship, kept life from becoming monotonous.
As a matter of fact, he had also acquired a rival while at the Lock. An individual who pushed him forward and followed him from behind.
His name was...
What was it again? Givan? Gary? Gilbert?
Ah, it was such a long time ago that he had already forgotten.
But those were truly fun days for Liam.
It was probably the last time he had ever truly been happy.
Unfortunately, those days never really lasted long.
After his talent began to outshine everyone else's, his so-called 'friends' began to look at him differently.
It was no longer out of friendship, but out of greed.
'If he becomes the next of the Union he will support me in the future.'
'I should stay closer to him.'
'He will make a good connection.'
They didn't need to say anything for him to understand what they were thinking. Their faces said it all.
Life became duller from that point on.
Despite this, he continued to train hard, and his strength continued to rise at an alarming rate. It had gotten to the point where almost all the big guilds in the human domain were salivating over him.
He would constantly get secret offers from the top guilds or even the Union itself.
He naturally rejected them.
He wasn't interested in such things. Responsibilities weren't his thing.
They were boring.
That said.
In spite of losing a lot of his friends, Liam kept staying at the Lock because of his rival, or should he say, best friend?
Yeah...
That sounded about right.
Bests friend...
As far as he was concerned, he was the only one who hadn't given up on him.
…It was kind of fun.
But, that too inevitably came to an end as his rival soon stopped comparing himself to him and pushing himself like he once did.
He tried to remedy the situation by holding back a lot, but in the end, his friend and rival found out about his intentions and stopped talking to him altogether.
Whenever they met thereafter, he would greet him with a short nod and disappear into the distance.
It was from that point on that Liam's world became dyed in grey.
His life had become monotonous as nothing excited him anymore.
