Chapter 509 Back To Eldoria
The group of geniuses, having received Aranic's stern warning, nodded silently, their expressions a mix of embarrassment and realization. The air was tense as they continued their journey through the treacherous terrain. The once carefree atmosphere had been replaced by a newfound sense of caution.
Well, it was good as now they didn't recklessly charge which previously caused a lot of headaches for Aranic and other guards.
In any case, the journey has been smooth. Now with the geniuses being careful in addition to their increased power, there were not many things that posed a threat to this group.
Even if the attack of the same level as earlier happened, they would not struggle as much as earlier and would be able to easily handle the situation. However, there were not many attacks on that scale and even though the road was considered very dangerous, at the moment, it was no different than a normal road for this group of people.
"It looks like we are reaching Eldoria."
"I can't wait to hone my skills further. I never thought that I could become so strong in such a short period of time."
"Hehe... I can't wait to brag to my brother about my new profound strength. He will die of jealousy." ...
The group of geniuses was in a good mood since they were finally getting to Eldoria. As the group of geniuses saw the sight of Eldoria, the air was filled with a mix of excitement and anticipation.
They were behaving like before though there was no arrogance and also seemed quite cautious which was a good thing. Aranic and others were also very relieved when they finally exited the dangerous terrain and all that was left to do was walk before they would reach Eldoria.

The gates of Eldoria swung open as the group of geniuses, led by Aranic, returned from their perilous journey. King Tranduil, Queen, and Elara along with Royal guards and maids were waiting at the entrance of the royal castle to welcome them.
"Welcome back!" King Tranduil exclaimed, his regal voice echoing through the courtyard. Aranic along with Elven guards and geniuses bowed down in the presence of the king.
Although Hiro Ernest is definitely someone one would want to keep their eyes on, however, it wasn't very comparable to what Mia had achieved.
Sure, Hiro could become very powerful, maybe the strongest. But that was 'could' while Mia could already be considered one of the strongest and she still has a very long way to go before she would reach her limits.
So between Hiro and Mia, King Tranduil was more confident in Mia. On the other hand, Elara was only looking at the progress of the geniuses and was quite glad. However, her focus was still on Hiro and his group.
( Hmmm.... As I thought, Hiro Ernest is the only hope to save us all from our doomed future. )
Elara thought. She was more than satisfied with what Hiro was able to achieve. She was also planning to further increase his power in the coming days along with his friends who will also be pivotal for the future.
( Mia Frostine... So she was able to reach Rank-SS! That is quite a surprise though she did seem to have such potential. )
Elara was also surprised by Mia's new rank, however, it seems that in her eyes, she still didn't consider Mia to have as much potential as Hiro.
Although she knows that Rank-SS is quite powerful, but she knows that it is still not enough to save them from their future calamity. She knew that they needed power beyond that of Rank-SS and thought that only Hiro Ernest would be able to achieve that in the limited time that they had.
She then proceeded to look at the group of geniuses. Although their progress was great, she wasn't particularly impressed until her eyes caught sight of someone.
"W-Wh-"
Elara almost yelled out but was able to contain her voice. ( WHO? Just who is he? )
Elara shouted in her mind as her eyes widened in surprise. The person she was talking about was Zero. She was casually just checking the progress of the geniuses and most of them were what she predicted.
However, there was someone she didn't recognize but was very strong, stronger than Hiro despite being younger.
