Chapter 1300 Explanation
"Still, it will be pretty useless to talk about the Order application if you haven't received that power." Theo sighed. "So, I'm going to talk about the requirement to receive this power."Even Rea focused on this lesson, thinking she was going to get the information about her father's power.
However, Theo smiled at her and said, "Unfortunately, this is the limit of what you can hear, Rea."
"What?" Rea opened her mouth in shock. She obviously wanted to listen to him because this was the chance for her to surpass her brother.
However, Theo said, "Basically, knowing this will just harm you. It's hard for me to throw you off like this because when I'm just a normal student, I want to learn everything from my teacher. I absolutely hate this phrase because it's going to make me curious and end up falling into the wrong path. Curiosity kills the cat; that's basically it.
"That's why I'm not just going to throw you like this. Instead, I'll give you a condition. If you want to learn about this power, you need two things. First, full mastery of your power… a power that has your existence in it. Put everything in your existence, whether it's your power, the way of living, or your entire being, into this power. To put it simply, your power should be able to define who you are.
"Second, you need to complete my training session with a passing mark. In the next two months, we're going to hunt monsters for training. I'm going to say this, if you don't pass my training, then you can say goodbye to this power. In your entire life, you might not be able to achieve it after all. So, if you want to learn, you should complete my training first, okay?"
Theo gave those two conditions to shift Rea's attention from this power to the hurdle. With clear requirements that didn't seem out of reach, Rea would focus on fulfilling the conditions before asking for it. Of course, she would ask her father, but knowing Rea's personality, she would also include Theo's condition.
In the end, the Sword Saint would just agree to Theo's condition and ask her to fulfill it before telling her anything about Order.
Rea, although disappointed, agreed to the condition. "I understand. I'll do my best. But you're not going to take back this promise, right?"
"I don't lie." Theo shrugged.
"Okay, I'll believe you." She nodded and left the room in frustration.
After that, Theo looked at the Phantom Archer and asked, "Are you ready?"
"Ruth Lukita."
"What's that?"
"My name." The Phantom Archer looked at Theo with a solemn expression. She was serious about learning from him, so this was a show of sincerity. "I am Ruth Lukita from Indonesia."
"Indonesia? If I'm not wrong, it's near Australia."
"Yes, that's why me and Felix…"
"Ah!" Theo nodded in understanding. "No wonder."
"Since we're going to work together for the next two years, you should know my name."
"Alright, thank you." Theo smiled before raising two fingers. "Alright. Without further ado, let's talk about the requirement to get this power. I'm going to answer your question first before moving to the explanation.
"First of all, you need a rule for yourself. A rule on how you will live! After that, you need to hone your technique with that rule. These two are the requirements to wield this power."
"A rule?"
"Yes. The Order itself is the power from the world. In other words, the world will grant you this power so that you can maintain the stability of this world. It's also a way of recognition.
"For example, let's talk about Slaughter. He has the blessing of Dracula and has been playing with blood for as long as he can remember. So, his rule is something about blood.
"This is just a speculation, but his Order seems to be the Blood Order. It means that he has control over blood because he has been living with his rule about blood. When he touches the Magic Power, the Magic Power turns into blood and so on.
"However, let's take another example. How about Forest Order? What if the person who wants this power actually loves to cut trees and burn the forest? Will the world acknowledge you and grant you this power?" Theo asked.
Ruth shook her head. "No. Even as a human, there's no way that we're going to grant this person the power over the forest."
"Exactly. That's why you need a rule for how you live and follow it for a long time."
"Is that the reason why the condition is two years?"
"Yes. Though, I am assuming that you've been living with a certain code? Like assassin code or whatever. So, just by following that kind of code, you can be closer to that power."
"But doesn't that mean I can get a certain Order that isn't related to my Wind Affinity?"
"The Sword Saint should have something like a sword instead of his affinity. It's just a matter of focus."
"I see." Ruth thought for a moment.
"Of course. It is impossible for someone to wield this power if their power doesn't correlate to that rule."
"That's why you set the first condition to that girl?" Ruth finally understood the conditions Theo set up. It seemed he had been working on it without telling them.
After a long pause, Ruth explained, "I think I have a pattern of living. Can I just make them my rule?"
"Yep. Maybe you should write it down somewhere. After all, the world can take back its power from you."
"I see. If someone with Forest Order starts to burn the forest and cut down trees…"
"Exactly."
"I understand. Although I don't have the details, I think I've got the gist of it."
"When the world thinks you're already worthy of that Order, it will immediately give you, so it's not a matter whether you want it or not. As for the application of the Order, I'll explain it to you after you get an Order. Then, let's talk about the small details, shall we?"
She nodded with a serious expression, ready to learn more.
Suddenly, the Shadow King opened her mouth. "I don't think I need to say this, but just in case… he doesn't lie. That's how the monsters live. Only after receiving an Order will you qualify to become a King Class Monster."
