511 Zero's Shocking Growth! [2]

"So what do you think? Do you still believe that Hiro Ernest is unparalleled and we should solely rely on him?"

"..."

Elara pondered King Tranduil's question for a moment, her mind comparing the current strength of Hiro and Zero. "King Tranduil," Elara began thoughtfully, "Zero's emergence has indeed challenged my previous convictions. His rapid ascent to Rank-S - at such a young age is unprecedented, and it raises questions about the potential he holds. However, talent alone does not determine the course of one's destiny."

She knew that what Zero was able to achieve could make him perhaps even more talented than Hiro. But still, she was convinced that Hiro would outgrow Zero and eventually come on top.

"Hiro Ernest, despite the challenges he faced, has a unique set of qualities and determination that cannot be easily dismissed. He possesses resilience and adaptability that might prove invaluable in the face of unforeseen obstacles. It's true that Zero has surprised me, but we must not discount the importance of character, experience, and the ability to navigate the complexities of the future."

King Tranduil nodded, acknowledging the wisdom in Elara's words. "You raise a valid point, Elara. Talent alone may not guarantee success, and Hiro's journey is still unfolding. However, we cannot ignore the potential that Zero brings to the table. We must consider all possibilities and be prepared for whatever challenges lie ahead."

King Tranduil answered. He knows that Elara knows more than him and has seen many things that he couldn't.

He thought that the fact that Elara trusted Hiro meant that he would grow to be a very powerful individual and he was actually happy that Elara thought like this as this meant that Hiro still had vast potential that he couldn't see.

However, that doesn't mean that he will trust Elara more than his gut either. He felt that Zero also has many potential that he has yet to show.

"King Tranduil, I am not looking down on Zero or anything but I suggest that you don't get your hopes up."

Elara said seriously. "As you know I have seen much of the future and know about most of the geniuses that have gathered here."

King Tranduil nodded. He was skeptical at the start but now he was convinced that Elara wasn't wrong about these individuals.

"However, in the future that I saw, I have never heard or seen Zero."

As for Zero, his personality already hinders people from approaching him. And there was also the incident of him beating down Elrond mercilessly.

To add to that, Zero has ascended to Rank-S. So, even if one wanted to talk to him, they were a bit scared to talk to him because of his strength.

What if they pissed him off and he beat them down? Such questions were raised through many of the geniuses and they avoided Zero completely.

Of course, there are also exceptions like Gimli, the strongest dwarf.

"Zero Elea! You have reached Rank-S -. How about a match with me? I want to see just how strong you have become."

Gimli asked Zero. Despite not having any prior conversation or anything like this, Gimli was honest about what he wanted.

It seems like he was impressed by Zero's skill and wanted to check for himself. Dwarf is very self-center, doesn't care much about others' opinions, and just does what they feel like.

Gimli was the same. He didn't think about other stuff and directly talked to Zero about what he wanted.

"M-Maybe if we get a chance!"

Zero replied. He was surprised when he was suddenly called out by Gimli and even more so when Gimli talked about sparring with him.

Gimli had advanced to Rank-S from his initial Rank-S - and although Zero didn't want to really fight with Gimli, he didn't think rejecting Gimli would have a very good outcome since Dwarf are known to be very persistent.

So, Zero neither rejected his request nor accepted it.

"Okay! That's a promise. Let's fight to our heart's content!"
