Chapter 3056: Stunning Nominations
"I am very well aware how talent for hybrid fields or complex paths of intellectual pursuit manifest," the Psycher continued with a calm tone, shifting his composed blood-red eyes towards the Esoterist. "I have even published research on it. However, the fact of the matter is that, based exclusively on the information that I have seen, the man simply is not qualified."
The Esoterist narrowed his eyes. "I beg to differ. He came from a humble background before eventually becoming the oligarch of the distribution industry across much of the continent by his own merit and virtue. It is an extraordinary feat in the field of business. Take it from someone who is a businessman after my identity as a technologist and a leader. It is unfathomable difficult and he did it extremely well. He is a genius of the commerce of connectivity and that is extremely important and significant in our current predicament. Even if he isn’t a genius, that doesn’t mean that we won’t be better for it to have in our ranks."
"I would disagree with that final statement vehemently," the Psycher remarked with a firm tone. "We cannot allow the intellectual quality of our immortal sages to deteriorate. Only the most talented and intelligent people of the human species that have worked extremely hard to manifest all their potential across their entire lives are worthy of our consideration. Someone who isn’t a genius isn’t worthy to be within our ranks."
The Esoterist clearly wanted to argue, but the Beggar Sage had had enough on the matter.
"We will put a hold on his evaluation for now," the Beggar Sage turned towards the Psycher. "My friend, I will arrange a meeting with you and the Chairman. You may evaluate him yourself in person. With your unparalleled insight into the human mind, you should be able to accurately determine whether he is cut from the same cloth as us or not. I trust that you will be unbiased."
"Of course," the Psycher replied smoothly. "I want our ranks to expand so I hope that he is worthy to be among us."
The Beggar Sage nodded. "Then, we will wait until then to make our final decision. As for the next nomination..."
"Oh," the Esoterist raised his hand with a childish smirk. "I have one."
With a wave of his hand, an image of the Emperor of Harmony emerged upon the screen.
