Chapter 264: Unfortunate Miles

Miles looked at Milosh and pondered why he wanted to see his energy, and why he suddenly summoned him, but he figured it must be the attributeless energy that must have drawn their attention.

He had nothing to hide, after all, he joined the academy so they could teach him. Although his relationship with the family was getting better, they were also starting to summon him more and more. Miles didnt want to be dependent on them so Mercer would gain the wrong idea of being able to use him. When Mercer disowned him from the family or wanted to use experimental drugs on him, their relationship was ruined for good. Although they could get along now, it didnt mean Miles was okay with what he did when he was young and desperate.

Miles wasnt delusional, nor paranoid to think there were people coveting his attributeless energy. This wasnt a knock-off fiction where everyone targeted him. In this real-life, he was unfortunate among many who failed to awaken his superpower. Luckily, he was able to use Strengthening Serums to keep getting stronger and even manage to awaken the energy. But this also cost him his ancient gene.

After contemplating for a while, he raised his palm, and a dagger formed. It was still hard on him to create weapons through energy, but he was at least getting better. The only bright side was because he didnt have an element nor an ancient gene, he didn't have to give away his weapons and element while fighting.

When Miles created the dagger, Miloshs pupils expanded to their limits and looked at the dagger. He stood up and approached Miles and took a closer look at the dagger. Miles faintly noticed that Miloshs eyelids closed and opened quickly, then he grabbed the dagger and inspected it closely, while Miles was still holding it. As it was Miless creation, it would fade away if he let it go for a while.

Such a remarkable energy, but how unfortunate, Milosh mumbled to himself. He seemed to forget Miless existence. Miles was nervous to be inspected like that, but he knew Milosh was doing this for his own good, so he didnt make any noise and waited for Milosh to finish first.

Such a waste, Milosh said as he shook his head.

Miles was clenching his hands. The more he tried to ignore Miloshs speech, the angrier and angrier he got. Of course, he too fucking knew these. He was there when he failed to awaken a superpower, and he was there when his ancient gene was destroyed. Oh, Milosh didnt know it yet, but he was there when he failed to form a seed too! But he still wanted to fight, he still hoped.

When every damn turning point was putting obstacles on his path, he jumped, ducked, circumvent every one of them at the expense of risking his life, yet here a lucky bastard born with rare element preaching how genius he fucking was. He couldnt ignore it anymore.

PAT!

Miles's palm descended on the table in front of him. Milosh stopped talking and looked at him with bewilderment, then understood.

Hahaha! Fiery boy, calm down. Milosh said with a burst of hearty laughter. Are you that weak-willed to get raged when an old man is criticizing you?

What I want to say is, you are doomed. You will never be as strong as others if you depend on your elemental energy. If you try to use the orthodox path that is.

Miles Cross, you are a beast. You are a rare beast but you have to work hard to bring out that potential. When others focus on strengthening their elements, you have to work on the basics of energy to just catch up with them. You have to work ten times more just to catch up with them, but if you work hard, I promise, with the energy you possess and the body you possess you can be stronger than any of them.
