Chapter 454: The Plan
“Yeah, I know most everything else,” Alanah replied. “And your story and explanations answer the other questions I would have had about your power. It also explains your void class, since you spent an ungodly amount of time inside a portal, and it explains why you were insistent that I try to grow closer to my class. And just to confirm… You have a Mythical Class, don’t you?”
“Sure do,” Derek confirmed her suspicions.
“Thought so,” Alanah replied. “If nothing else, it is nice to know that such a class rarity exists. For the longest time, I thought Mythical rarity was nothing more than… well… a myth. But many believe legendary rarity to be a myth, as well. And I know from experience that legendary classes exist.”
“That’s completely understandable,” Derek said. “It seems that only unique people end up with high rarity classes. You can’t just go with the flow and expect to increase your class rarity—it takes willpower and unique situations. The best example for this would be the Cydarian Royal family.”
“Yes, you are correct,” Alanah said. “Edwin, Edward, Eloise, and even the two youngest—Eliot and Everett—will most likely never gain a class beyond epic ranked. But Edgar, and his personality that causes him to constantly push himself forward, has gone beyond that, and that is proof of your statement… if you ask me.”
“Exactly,” Derek said. Though I’ve never met these two ‘younger brothers,’ he thought. He had heard Edward speak of his younger brothers, but Derek had never heard their names before. According to what Alanah said, though, the two youngest took more after Edward and Eloise than they did Edgar, which was a shame. Just one of them pushing themselves like Edgar would take a lot of weight off of Edward and Edgar. “I doubt it’s easy for someone growing up in such luxuries to make themselves better.”
“Mhm.” Alanah nodded in agreement. “It is a problem that many noble houses end up having after a few generations.”
“You fight to get to the top,” Derek said. “Then, once you get there, you let up to bask in your accomplishments and your family ends up falling behind again.” He sighed. “It seems like you just can’t relax too long when you live with systems…”
“That seems to be the case,” Alanah replied.
