Chapter 576: Lorenzo Part 1 (1/2)
While Leonardo was engaging in a conversation with Sheira, Lorenzo was staring at Davi while carrying Theo on his shoulder. ”I can help him go to the pickup area.”
Davi was unsure whether it was a good move to approach Theo, but the latter simply nodded his head, saying it would be alright.
Lorenzo genuinely smiled and Davi ultimately disappeared, following them from behind.
Lorenzo then stomped the ground and a pink fog began to rise from the ground and cover them.
”Teleportation.” Lorenzo poured more Magic Power to send them all the way to the area where the drivers dropped them off earlier. At the same time, the drones couldn't catch up with them, so they were free to talk about anything.
Lorenzo suddenly said, ”You're so good despite your low level. I guess this is why many experts are focusing on their Five Aspects more than their levels.”
Theo thought for a moment and shook his head. ”I gave them the same amount of time.”
”Oh?” Lorenzo furrowed his eyebrows. ”That's one insane leveling speed you have there. Well, I don't really know how you level up, but you have my heartfelt admiration. It's my first time seeing someone like you.”
Theo looked away while shrugging.
”Well, to be honest, I just want to say I would like us to be friends. So, I want to ask your opinion.”
”Ehm.” Theo looked down, thinking about it. ”I don't know if we can be friends, but you can contact me or something.”
He thought it wasn't that big of a deal, considering he had given his number to many people.
”That's certainly tempting.” Lorenzo nodded in agreement. ”Well, we don't bring our Skylink, so I will wait here until I get your number.”
”Okay.”
”By the way, is it fine if we talk about our battle earlier?” Lorenzo smiled and raised five fingers. ”There were five big mistakes I had made in my perspective. The first one was not researching your information better. Information is the biggest weapon to defeat your opponent after all.
”The second one was that I had fallen into your traps since the first time you showed me your ability. This was a big mistake because I should have calculated the amount of your Magic Power.
”Third, I underestimated you despite having learned that I shouldn't look down on someone and prepared various plans to eliminate others. I should have taken this advice from my dad more earnestly.
”Fourth, I overestimated my own ability. Space Affinity is unique and versatile, but in terms of offensive ability, Time Affinity is more powerful despite many restrictions. I should have prepared for the worst before the battle began, so yeah, my performance was terrible.
”Last but not least, I shouldn't have taken your bait. In the last exchange, if I had approached you more carefully, I would have won. Of course, it won't be a good image, but in a life and death battle, you can't care less about it.”
”These five mistakes brought me to this result.” He let out a long sigh and asked, ”What do you think about these five? You can say anything about it because I'm curious about your opinions. No need to think about sweet words.”
Theo widened his eyes and realized that Lorenzo had a good observation. This might also be the first time he saw someone earnestly trying to improve other than him.
He felt Lorenzo was like the past him in Thersland, where he didn't care about losing to the others as long as he got something to review. That was how he got stronger in the first place.
