Parallel Memory

512  Opportunity! n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Although not many people approached Zero, it didn't mean that others weren't interested in Zero. Being Rank-S at that age plus being able to stay in Luminary Spring for a long period of time, he was someone that many thought was talent on par or even surpassed Hiro. So, there were definitely many people interested in Zero.

Many were keeping their eyes on him and some even wanted to talk with him but lacked the confidence. Even so, it didn't seem like either Zero or Hiro were the main stars of the party. There was someone who had grabbed the attention of almost all the people and that was none other than Mia.

Not only was she the winner of the tournament between the geniuses but also the only one to advance to Rank-SS. However, that wasn't why many eyes were on her.

"Wow, Mia is absolutely stunning. I can't take my eyes off her."

"Have you ever seen someone so effortlessly beautiful? It's like she stepped out of a dream."

"Her elegance is unparalleled." …

Even the Elves and Aasimars who prided themselves on being beautiful felt inferior when in front of Mia. It didn't matter whether you were a boy or a girl, whether you were a human or a devil, anyone could be easily captivated by Mia's beauty.

It was all due to Mia's grade SSS beauty. Previously, even though she was already very beautiful, she kept wearing her battle attire which diminished her charm.

But this time, she wore a different outfit which suited the party. She wore a beautiful formal gown which complements her beauty.

Mia Frostine's dress was a breathtaking ensemble that perfectly complemented her ethereal beauty and the enchanting aura of ice magic that surrounded her. The gown appeared to be crafted from delicate, shimmering ice-blue fabric, with intricate frost-like patterns subtly embroidered along the edges. The dress flowed gracefully around her, creating an illusion of frozen elegance.

The bodice of the gown was adorned with intricate crystals that sparkled like ice crystals catching the light. The neckline was modest yet alluring, framing her features with a touch of sophistication. As she moved, the hem of her dress seemed to trail behind her like a frosty train, leaving a subtle frosty mist in her wake. With her beauty plus the attire that suited her, people can't help but occasionally glance in her direction.

"Hehe… Mia, looks like even other races couldn't withstand your beauty!"

Amelia, while observing the crowd's reaction to Mia, couldn't help but feel a twinge of amusement mixed with a hint of competitiveness.

Although she also received many compliments from other geniuses but it was not much compared to Mia.

Although she never felt the need to compare her appearance to anyone, even so, she felt somewhat lacking when standing next to Mia.

This was especially true for her since even Zero seemed to have been charmed by Mia's beauty. Amelia noticed Zero glanced towards Mia twice and she was sure that even Zero couldn't resist Mia's beauty.

As the night progressed, King Tranduil took center stage, raising his glass for a toast. The room fell silent as all eyes turned towards the elven king.

"To the brave geniuses who have not only survived the treacherous journey but have also grown in strength and wisdom! May your achievements be a beacon for others to follow," King Tranduil proclaimed, and the hall erupted in cheers.

During this, Elara would occasionally glance at Zero. She was still trying to remember whether she had ever seen Zero's face in her memories but there was none.

She tried to be subtle about her observation, however, she didn't know that Zero already knew that she was staring at him.

He could already think of why she was staring at him and although it was uncomfortable, he decided to ignore it. King Tranduil also took this moment to announce something. King Tranduil cleared his throat, and the cheers gradually subsided. The air was charged with anticipation as the elven king continued, "In recognition of your exceptional talents and the bond forged during this period, the Elves extend an invitation. We are willing to share our ancient knowledge, our Art, with those among you who seek to deepen their understanding of magic and wisdom."

A murmur of excitement spread through the crowd. The prospect of learning from the Elves, known for their mastery of magic and ancient wisdom, was a rare and invaluable opportunity. The geniuses exchanged glances, some visibly intrigued by the proposition. It is not every day that one gets to learn from another race and it was Elven Art that was going to be taught.

In terms of mana controls, no race was better than Elves. More so were their archery skills which are definitely the best in the world.

However, as much as there was excitement, there was also disappointment. For many, archery wasn't their main weapon. So, the excitement to learn that wasn't great except for people like Sylvia who use them.

As for mana control, although it would be very beneficial if they could learn, the question was will they be able to?

Each race has its own way of learning and it was unknown whether other races could learn Elves Art. In addition, the time taken for one to learn those arts will be too long.

Rather than trying to learn something new, it might be more advantageous if they focus on what they already know and enhance them.

"If any of you wish to embrace this opportunity, you are welcome to stay in Eldoria for a few more months," King Tranduil announced, his eyes scanning the room to gauge the reactions of the geniuses.

King Tranduil concluded his announcement with a warm smile, "The choice is yours, brave geniuses. Eldoria welcomes you all to learn with us. May your time here be enlightening and fruitful."

In any case, it seems like it is up to the geniuses to decide. As the geniuses deliberated on this unexpected opportunity, the atmosphere in the grand hall became charged with a new energy, a blend of anticipation and the promise of further growth.
