Chapter 115
The truth is, the concept of a lazy genius doesn’t really exist.
A genius is someone who, when taught one thing, learns ten. They are the kind of person who grasps solutions to problems that others struggle with as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
However, even geniuses are still beings that need to learn. If someone knew things without ever learning, that wouldn’t be a genius—they’d be a reincarnator or someone possessed by a spirit; Geniuses just learn at an astonishingly fast pace.
People often say that geniuses are born that way, that they inherit their talent, and they crush the efforts of others with their innate brilliance. But if you look at the top-tier geniuses in any field, it’s likely that they worked even harder than anyone else. They probably devoted their entire life to unlocking their potential.
And if there’s one defining trait of such geniuses, it would be:
“Tell me. How exactly am I different from the tutorial?”
‘Self-esteem. Self-love. Self-assurance.’
You’d say their self-esteem is off the charts.
With innate talent combined with relentless effort to become the best in their field, it’s no wonder they see themselves as special. After all, they are special.
