Chapter 226 Redemption of a depressed prince... Part-1
A few hours ago, Royal Palace, guest room.
"A lot of the older SS-rankers have now been replaced in the past ten years, so the representatives that will arrive will likely be new faces..." (Ryul)
"Replaced?" (Ashtel)
Hearing Ryul's solemn tone, Ashtel squinted his eyes.
"Yeah, many of the previous representatives have retired voluntarily, and now a younger generation has taken over their roles..." (Ryul)
"Although it doesn't change anything for us, it certainly is going to be a lot livelier in the meeting tomorrow..." (Ryul)
At Ryul's words, Ashtel nodded his head in agreement.
"Well, we also have a new SS-ranker now... but we technically can't count him as a part of the younger generation..." (Ashtel)
While saying that Ashtel gave a strange glance to Jin.
Jin once used to fight in the Fifty Years Orc War, during the same time as Ashtel.
But Jin was not talented enough and never reached the realm of demigods during the war, unlike Ashtel, Neo, and Nicolas.
It took him a long time to ascend to SS rank and now he is over ninety years old, so he can't be considered a part of the new generation anymore.
(Indeed! Ashtel, Neo, Jin, and Anna all were born near the starting years of the Orc war, now they all are actually around ninety years old...)
Anna is actually a lot older than Raji, but she never reached SS rank and Raji was a lot more talented than her.
These numbers may seem high, but keep in mind that the lifespan of people ranked S or above is very big.
Taking their big lifespan into consideration, they are all relatively young actually.
In Ryul's case, he has already ruled the elf nation for a hundred years and it took him at least a hundred years to reach the rank of 'SS' and become the king, thus he himself is at least two hundred years old.
"Well, it's not like I really was talented in the first place, It was just a fluke that I was able to ascend to the realm of demi-gods... I don't think I will be able to make any further progress though..." (Jin)
Indeed, Jin was right, although with the help of a sudden 'enlightenment' he was able to ascend one rank further, any more progress than this would be extremely difficult for him.
'Enlightenment' helps individuals break through their limits and reach a higher state, but it doesn't increase 'Talent' or 'Potential'.
This means, that Jin still just has the S-rank talent, and with the improvement speed of an S-rank talent, progressing further in the realm of demi-god will be like:
'Trying to fly to the heavens with wings that are so small that they can't even lift the user from the ground...'
It might take him decades to make even the slightest bit of progress and in that small time frame, new SS-rankers will pop up all over the world.
After all, there is no shortage of 'Talented' people in this world.

lightsΝοvεl ƈοm "Forget it, it's not like I haven't dealt with newbies before... I have held this meeting nine times before, now is the tenth time..." (Ryul)
"I have met many hot-headed guys over the past century..." (Ryul)
While saying the word 'hot-headed' Ryul purposely glared at Ashtel with narrowed eyes.
Even Jin and the other two could feel a chill run down their spines at Ashtel's actions.
The space itself seemed to collapse in Ashtel's fist, his title as the 'Strongest human' was no joke after all.
Just when the atmosphere in the room was a bit tense, a sudden fluctuation in the mana instantly attracted the attention of all four of them.
All four of them looked directly in a certain direction as they sensed the huge condensation of mana.
"This!? Someone broke through rank S all of a sudden!?" (Jin)
"This aura!? It's AL!? He broke through rank S so suddenly!?" (Ryul)
All four of them were surprised by the sudden mana fluctuations, they all instantly teleported and arrived directly above the massive mana cyclone.
Ryul waved his hand and placed a barrier to protect the common people from harm and isolated the mana cyclone inside.
(All four of them arrived a few seconds late as they were shocked by the suddenness of the situation, these few seconds were enough for a certain someone to wear his 'shadow robe' and flee from the place unnoticed...)
With a solemn look hanging over his face, Ryul stared below with worry in his heart.
"Such a sudden breakthrough... if he failed... he will suffer a lot of damage..." (Ryul)
A Ryul's worried tone, Syvis tried to calm him a bit.
"No need to worry, I will heal him if something goes wrong..." (Syvis)
Although it was true that Syvis could heal him from even a near-death state, still as a mother, she was worried about her child too.
Looking at all this, Ashtel simply shook his head and said:
"You two are worrying too much, I can already sense that he is undergoing a 'perfect' breakthrough... it's not gonna fail..." (Ashtel)
Only after hearing Ashtel did the two of them calm down a bit.
