…

"Ha… How long do I need to do this? Am I halfway there yet?" Serena muttered in her mind. The climb felt like forever as she had no way of confirming her progress.

She could stop for a moment, but it would just cause more problems if she ended up relaxing for a second.

"I have to continue…" Serena bit her lips. She couldn't help but think about other students.

Whether it was Li Wei or the twins, all of them had grown stronger. Even Lancelot and Jayden, who were receiving the lesson from Theo right now, were much stronger than her.

Without her realizing it, she had actually fallen to the bottom of the class.

She could boast about her theory score, but would people even care about it when she could just die with a single attack?

"I have been so complacent of myself that I haven't realized that I've fallen from grace." Serena bit her lips. This mountain was her last chance to turn around the situation. If she wasted this chance, she would probably be known as the failure of this class.

"Why does the teacher want us to climb this mountain? This is a divine landmark. It must be something special, but I don't see the reason why he wants to do it without essence. If we can use our power, the climb would be easier.

"This mountain…" Serena fell silent for a moment.

She continued without any more complaints, as though she realized something.

Lancelot panted a few times as he couldn't help but stop. "How is Serena going like this for two whole days? This is so tiring."

Lancelot looked at the scenery. He had covered over two-thirds of the mountain, so if he persisted a bit more, he might be able to reach the mountain before the next dusk.

But when he looked at the world from so high up, he couldn't help but notice a slight change.

"The scenery from up here is different from when I saw it from the lower part of the mountain. We are already above the clouds…The city can't be seen anymore, but it is like a vast land in the sky."

Lancelot fell silent for a moment, contemplating. Unlike Jayden, who continued faster all of a sudden, Lancelot actually sat down and closed his eyes.

Without him realizing it, his body was enveloped in a thin golden light.

Only Jayden had actually reached the top.

As soon as he reached the top, Theo brought him a drink and said, "Congratulations."

"Thank you, Teacher. And if I'm not rude for asking, I'd like to go back down again to check on Serena and Lancelot."

Theo smiled. "Why don't you just relax here?"

Jayden shook his head. "I have come to realize that it's not just about me. In the past, I've always thought that people are able to achieve more than me because they're more talented.

"However, what if they're not really talented? What if they are able to achieve all this because they don't think like me?

"Serena is smart. She might not be good at a fight, but she can achieve a lot more than me in her life. Using that potion, she can poison someone, heal people, or even create a business empire.

"Lancelot is struggling with his trauma, but he is planning to challenge and overcome it, unlike me, who is stuck with my inferiority.

"That's why I realized after climbing this mountain. Those two are behind me but will achieve the same. It's true that the desire to keep improving can drive you forward, but I have been blinded by it.

"I might not have the best talent out there, but teacher, you have shown me the possibility. What if I can master the power from another world, much better than the power of my demon? Would my existence reach the peak? Would those people think like how I think about all the people with Royal Grade Demons?

"In the end…" Jayden sighed. "The world does not revolve around me. Instead of thinking that way, I just have to find my own path and keep struggling. If I become powerful enough, the world might end up revolving around me.

"Of course, I will always keep your teaching in my heart. I have my own rules as to what extent I will go for this power. For now, I wish to observe my friends."

Theo couldn't help but smile and pat Jayden's shoulder. "I only have one thing to say now. The one who has the last laugh wins."

Still, it would be different if Mia was here. She would have said, "Of course, the world doesn't revolve around you. My father is the MC, the world revolves around him. Pathetic."

"!!!" Jayden's body trembled. Those words struck his heart. That was right. He could lose against them, but if he was the one with the last laugh, he would be the one winning.

He didn't plan to lose the battle, but the result of that battle didn't matter as long as he won the war.

"Thank you very much, Teacher." Jayden lowered his head.

"Take this as well. And remember, don't bother them, just observe."

"Yes!" Jayden took the water bottle and prepared to go back down, but before he could reach the stairs, Theo suddenly called, "Ah, wait. Jayden."

"Yes?" Jayden halted his steps.

"That's not how you go back."

"Really?" Jayden looked around to find any other paths to go down.

"Yeah." Theo suddenly kicked him off the mountain.

"Eeh?" Jayden widened his eyes in shock as he gradually realized the situation he was in when his body began to fall. "Eeehh—aaahhhhhhh?!"

Theo could imagine Mia saying, "Top ten betrayals moment."

"Well, it'll take too long for him to go down the stairs. I don't plan to wait that long for this mission to end." Theo smirked. "And that's it, people. You jinx the jinx. This means we will only have 3 more chapters left for this arc…"
