1862 Try It
"Do you not understand how rare Time affinity is?" Lu'card finally asked.
He couldn't seem to deal with Ryu just strutting around like this. As far as he was concerned, kicking Ryu down a peg would not only make him feel good, but it would also alleviate the frustration that he was feeling right now.
Ryu raised an eyebrow. "Do you have any idea how many rare abilities I have?"
Lu'card suddenly felt like bashing Ryu's skull in. He could tell the latter's meaning. Ryu never bothered to care or consider how rare or common his abilities were because he had too many of them. Even if individually his talent had been average or common, which they certainly were not, it wouldn't have mattered in the slightest because the sum of their parts would be greatly exaggerated one way or another.
'How did I end up getting pissed off again?'
"You're still not getting it." Lu'card shook his head. "There are a lot of abilities that one can tap into just by being powerful enough. Like, Transcendents already have a small bit of control over space. As you grow stronger, that affinity becomes stronger as well. It's not rare to see high-level beings controlling space even if they were never born with the affinity for it. They can easily make up that gap with strength and other factors.
"Karma is much the same way as well. Over time, a powerful existence's sensitivity to Karma and the Lines of Fate increases as well, especially when it's in regard to themselves and those that are close to them.
"However, Time is just... different. It's just different. Even if one gains an inkling of control over it, it will never be something substantial. It's so much so that even if you use your time affinity now, the likelihood that someone would see through it is nearly nil. They would just assume that it's an advanced application of Spatial Qi granted to you by your Soul Nature."
Ryu was still staring at Lu'card like he didn't care. What was this supposed to mean to him? Was he supposed to just chuckle it up and throw a grand celebration because he happened to have a great talent?
Lu'card was growing frustrated, so he just snorted out a mouthful of sulfur and looked as though he was about to leave.
"Do you know that you're annoying?" Lu'card suddenly said.
Ryu raised an eyebrow. "What did I do this time?"
"When you stare off into space like there's no one around you, and then you come back like you just had a great enlightenment, it's infuriating."
Ryu's lip twitched. He was being reprimanded for being introspective?
"Sounds like jealousy."
"Do you think that I won't bite your head off?"
"We're in an equal partnership now, why would you do that?"
"Equal?" Lu'card snorted in laughter, a whirlwind of space shooting a hole through a mountain. "If I wanted you to get down and bark like a dog right now, you'd have to do it. Don't you know who's subservient in a contract when you see it?"
"Is that so?" Ryu smiled. "Try it."
Lu'card froze, suddenly feeling that something was wrong. He immediately tried to give Ryu a command and his expression changed.
"RYU TATSUYA, YOU SON OF A—"
