The mark of god isn't hereditary, so high-ranking clans won't necessarily have one, and low-ranking peasants might possess one! Thirdly, Zulang is one of the few individuals who actually managed to push him to use more than 50% of his strength in sparring sessions. And lastly, Zulang was a cunning bastard.
Caleb believes that the threat list will help him greatly in the future. He doesn't believe that everyone would be an ally forever. It would be inevitable to cross paths with other scouts in the future.
As for the threat list. He decided to call it a zero list. Why? Because it sounds cooler that way!
The top 10 on his threat list are those who displayed immense potential and would likely become a threat to him in the future. Of course, he, who has another power system/ on him, wasn't worried about being surpassed. Except for those who had special cheating abilities like Gojo, who has a time-related eye ability. After all, time was one of the higher supreme laws along with space.
The top ten of his list is called Spencer. He grew up in a slum and had a good mastery of spears. Spencer took the top ten on his list due to his mamba mentality which was comparable to Kobe Bryan. In simple terms, he has an unmatched work ethic that sets him apart from the other scouts! The personality or character of a person is actually one of the most important if one wants to be far in the path of power.
As for the 3rd, it was Clifford. Just like he said. He believes that there is no eternal friend or ally. He believes that one day, there is a small possibility of them becoming opposite paths or having a conflict of interest. Low possibility doesn't mean zero after all... Clifford also possessed a character that would help him on his path to power. He is like those anti-heroes in a novel and has a strong determination.
2nd, it was a random guy called Flint who had no sense of existence or low presence for the entire year. No worthy achievement had consistent average scores in all the tests and exams. Yes, consistent... That's what made it suspicious. He was like Ayanakoji of the Classroom of the Eli... Well; you know the rest. In summary, he hides too deeply! A mysterious, unreadable figure. Even now, he doesn't have much information about the party. And lastly, the number one spot... Shu! His dear friend. It's not a surprise since Shu and him were similar in many things such as temperament and way of doing 'things'...
Well, that's complete the list. All in all, there are freaks in nature in other teams that he better not underestimate.
Thinking of this, Caleb looked at the three teams he had to manage from now on depressedly. He still couldn't accept that he was getting all this limelight against his will. Still, it was his fault. If he didn't propose to save the wounded. He might still be a low-key person now. Albeit, plans are made to be broken.
Still, there are advantages to his current position. First of all, priority on tasks which means more contributions. Second, trust in other people. He still valued the power of connections and acknowledged then there was no benefit for a lone man. No human is an island, as humans are inherently social creatures. And lastly, his status as the Scout was properly solidified. No one would dare to ruin his and his friends' peaceful days now...
