Chapter 52 - 2nd Opening of The System Interface
Meanwhile, in a different distant location.
FWIP!
The old man and his granddaughter appeared out of thin air. They stood atop a rooftop, watching as two powerful persons frantically searched around. It was right around now that the old man smirked, doing so for two reasons.
"Who would’ve thought that disciple of mine would nearly notice my existence? His intuition has sharpened over the years," he murmured. "And that kid—playing two veteran Master Mages for fools at his age; he’s truly a once-in-a-millennium genius."
Siya, his granddaughter with long white hair, tilted her head. She was puzzled. What was so great about that? She didn’t understand.
Seeing the adorably bewildered expression she was making, the old man chuckled.
"You may not be able to comprehend it because of how much I’ve assisted you, but not everyone has the support of a Peak Great Grandmaster," he explained. "For you, I gave you everything, even reforming your physical body with Magicule-enriched medicinal baths and semi-divine secret skills. This Jin, however, may be a Crown Prince of a Kingdom, but he is simply... too young.
He hasn’t had the chance to be exposed to the various valuable resources that this world has to offer.
He has cultivated to the point of outclassing skilled Master Mages all by himself.
So although you may have been a strong contender for the number one genius under heaven before, things have... changed with that boy’s birth."
Siya wasn’t old enough to comprehend the true meaning behind her grandfather’s words. She could only put together that the boy she liked the appearance of was actually quite amazing. Her eyes shone even brighter after realizing this.
"This granddaughter of mine..." The old man sighed. "I just hope that she’ll have this same attitude in the future when the boy takes away her spotlight, whether on purpose or as a result of his freakishness."
