Chapter 36: Murphy’s Law
"Don’t compare yourself with prodigies. It’ll never end well," Bella said upon seeing his look. "Even before joining the Combat Department, Leon was a monster in the Research Department. The head of that department even had a fight with Professor Amber for snatching him away."
Denver smiled hearing that and said, "I’m not comparing myself to anyone. For me, only my hard work matters. As long as I don’t have any regrets with myself, I will be satisfied with my life."

Bella once again shot a few Burning Skeletons and said with a smile, "You’re good. You will go very far. I’m sure of it. But for now, let’s do our job."
