513 Opportunity! [2]
The geniuses exchanged glances, their minds buzzing with possibilities. The opportunity to learn from the Elves was unprecedented, and the potential for growth was immense. For some, the prospect of delving into Elven knowledge was irresistible, a chance to unlock new depths of power and understanding. For others, the decision was more complex, weighing the benefits against the time and effort required.
"Should I?"
"Ah! If only this was proposed by the Dwarven kingdom. Learning bow and control mana seem useless to someone like me who uses axe weapons."
"I want to learn but I think that it would be useless since I am already quite used to the method taught by my elders." ...
It seems like, after much thinking, not many geniuses seemed to want to take the offer. After all, unless they were using bow and arrow, they didn't think that there was much merit in learning Elven Arts.
Moreover, many believe that Elves wouldn't be really willing to teach good things or those Arts which are really powerful.
Hiro glanced around at his companions, a determined gleam in his eyes. "I think we should seize this opportunity, don't you all agree? This chance may not come again. Even if archery and mana control aren't my specialties, the knowledge and skills I gain could prove invaluable in the future."
Hiro said. "I'm definitely in. Learning from the Elves? That's a chance I can't pass up. Think about all the knowledge I could get. No way I am passing up this opportunity."
Sylvia said. As an archer, the Elven knowledge was very much suited to her and it could elevate her already brilliant archery skill to the next level. After all, no race is better at archery than Elves.
The Geniuses discussed and most of them seemed to have made a decision whether they wanted to stay behind and learn from Elves or go back home.
King Tranduil, patient and wise, observed the room with a knowing smile. He understood the weight of the decision before the geniuses and respected their individual paths. He was ready to share Elven's knowledge in order to strengthen the geniuses for the safety of the future. However, it didn't mean that he would force them.
"As I see the deliberations among you, it is clear that this decision weighs heavily on each of your hearts," King Tranduil spoke, his voice carrying the weight of centuries of wisdom. "Know that the offer to stay and learn from the Elves is extended to those who feel drawn to it. We do not seek to coerce or pressure anyone into this path."
He paused, allowing his words to sink in before continuing. "For those who choose to embark on this journey, know that your time in Eldoria will be met with dedication and sincerity. We shall commence the teachings three days hence, allowing you time to prepare yourselves for the rigors of our training."
A murmur of agreement rippled through the crowd as the geniuses absorbed the King's words.
"We shall focus not only on Elven archery and mana control but also on our broader fighting arts and skills," King Tranduil elucidated, his gaze sweeping over the assembled geniuses.
"Our techniques have been honed over millennia, refined through countless battles and trials. It is our hope that you will find value in what we have to offer."
With a regal nod, King Tranduil concluded, "Those who wish to remain and learn, know that you are welcome in Eldoria. May your time here be enlightening and fruitful, and may you emerge stronger for the challenges that lie ahead."
King Tranduil said as he left the grand hall with Elara and his guards.
