Parallel Memory

Chapter 509  Back To Eldoria

The group of geniuses, having received Aranic's stern warning, nodded silently, their expressions a mix of embarrassment and realization. The air was tense as they continued their journey through the treacherous terrain. The once carefree atmosphere had been replaced by a newfound sense of caution.

Well, it was good as now they didn't recklessly charge which previously caused a lot of headaches for Aranic and other guards.

In any case, the journey has been smooth. Now with the geniuses being careful in addition to their increased power, there were not many things that posed a threat to this group.

Even if the attack of the same level as earlier happened, they would not struggle as much as earlier and would be able to easily handle the situation. However, there were not many attacks on that scale and even though the road was considered very dangerous, at the moment, it was no different than a normal road for this group of people.

"It looks like we are reaching Eldoria."

"I can't wait to hone my skills further. I never thought that I could become so strong in such a short period of time."

"Hehe… I can't wait to brag to my brother about my new profound strength. He will die of jealousy." …

The group of geniuses was in a good mood since they were finally getting to Eldoria. As the group of geniuses saw the sight of Eldoria, the air was filled with a mix of excitement and anticipation.

They were behaving like before though there was no arrogance and also seemed quite cautious which was a good thing. Aranic and others were also very relieved when they finally exited the dangerous terrain and all that was left to do was walk before they would reach Eldoria.

The gates of Eldoria swung open as the group of geniuses, led by Aranic, returned from their perilous journey. King Tranduil, Queen, and Elara along with Royal guards and maids were waiting at the entrance of the royal castle to welcome them.

"Welcome back!" King Tranduil exclaimed, his regal voice echoing through the courtyard. Aranic along with Elven guards and geniuses bowed down in the presence of the king.

"Your Majesty!" Aranic spoke, "I am pleased to report that my mission has been fulfilled successfully. The geniuses have safely reached the Luminary Spring and returned."

King Tranduil nodded happily. He knew that the mission he assigned to Aranic was not easy. Not to mention the dangerous path and monsters that he needed to face, there was also the behavior of geniuses that Aranic needed to worry about.

To be able to bring everyone back safely was worth an achievement!

"Good Job, Aranic! You will be rewarded for your hard work."

"Your praise is the greatest reward, Your Majesty!" Nôv(el)B\\jnn

King Tranduil, with a keen gaze, then proceeded to scan through the group of geniuses. He observed their expressions, noting the changes that had occurred during their journey. He thought that they would be much more arrogant or would at least look more confident but it was the exact opposite. Although King Tranduil didn't understand what the reason was, he thought that it was good since overconfidence wasn't good.

Not only the way they looked, but King Tranduil was also very happy with the progress that the geniuses were able to achieve. Almost everyone had broken through Rank-B and reached Rank-A. And the number of Rank-S has also increased considerably.

But what surprised King Tranduil more was Mia who had broken through to Rank-SS.

( I didn't expect anybody would be able to break through Rank-SS. It was really unexpected! )

King Tranduil thought. Who would believe that someone in the group whom he was only betting on their future would be able to achieve one of the highest ranks?

It was truly astonishing for King Tranduil but more than that he was happy that their plan was working better than they expected.

Of course, it was not only Mia that he was surprised by. Hiro and his group have also managed to surprise King Tranduil quite a bit though not as much as Mia Frostine.

( Oh ho! Hiro Ernest really is a rare talent. He was able to achieve so much compared to others. Just like Elara said, he might really become very powerful in the future. However, he still has a very long way to go. )

Although Hiro Ernest is definitely someone one would want to keep their eyes on, however, it wasn't very comparable to what Mia had achieved.

Sure, Hiro could become very powerful, maybe the strongest. But that was 'could' while Mia could already be considered one of the strongest and she still has a very long way to go before she would reach her limits.

So between Hiro and Mia, King Tranduil was more confident in Mia. On the other hand, Elara was only looking at the progress of the geniuses and was quite glad. However, her focus was still on Hiro and his group.

( Hmmm…. As I thought, Hiro Ernest is the only hope to save us all from our doomed future. )

Elara thought. She was more than satisfied with what Hiro was able to achieve. She was also planning to further increase his power in the coming days along with his friends who will also be pivotal for the future.

( Mia Frostine… So she was able to reach Rank-SS! That is quite a surprise though she did seem to have such potential. )

Elara was also surprised by Mia's new rank, however, it seems that in her eyes, she still didn't consider Mia to have as much potential as Hiro.

Although she knows that Rank-SS is quite powerful, but she knows that it is still not enough to save them from their future calamity. She knew that they needed power beyond that of Rank-SS and thought that only Hiro Ernest would be able to achieve that in the limited time that they had.

She then proceeded to look at the group of geniuses. Although their progress was great, she wasn't particularly impressed until her eyes caught sight of someone.

"W-Wh-"

Elara almost yelled out but was able to contain her voice. ( WHO? Just who is he? )

Elara shouted in her mind as her eyes widened in surprise. The person she was talking about was Zero. She was casually just checking the progress of the geniuses and most of them were what she predicted.

However, there was someone she didn't recognize but was very strong, stronger than Hiro despite being younger.
