Parallel Memory

"Your majesty, if you can see the future, you would know how incredible that boy is. Not only his strength but his character itself is like Hero!"

Elara said with confidence. She had probably seen many instances of Hiro doing hero-like things in the future.

"I'm sure that if we can at least nurture him properly, there will be a change in the future."

"Hmmm… Let's see for myself just how talented this boy is!"

King Tranduil said as he looked through the Magic Ball where he could see the geniuses of different races enter.

As more and more young geniuses from different races arrived at the Royal Castle, King Thranduil and Elara observed them closely through the Magic Ball.

"Hmmm… That girl from the Aasimar race seemed strong. Elara, have you seen her in the future?"

King Tranduil asked as he pointed towards Seraphine. Among the races that arrived, she was among one of the strongest.

Moreover, according to her appearance, she didn't seem to be much old. He had never heard about Aasimar having such genius.

"Hmmm… "

Elara looked through the Magic Ball where a woman who stood out from her peer was standing.

"She definitely becomes strong. At least, she reaches Rank-SS. However, she gets killed by one of the humans."

Elara said, telling what she knew about Seraphine of the future.

*SIGH!

"Why are humans and Aasimar fighting? Shouldn't they all band together to fight with the calamity. If only we could put our differences aside and help each other."

King Tranduil was a bit irritated. Even if the world was ending, some people were still busy killing each other. They didn't know what they should prioritize and protect, instead let negative emotion take over.

"Do you know why they will be fighting?"

King Tranduil asked.

Elara shook her head to King Tranduil's disappointment. Unlike what others think, Elara didn't possess the power to look into any future she wanted.

She could only see what was shown to her naturally. Most common occurrence was when she was asleep. At that time, she will see the events of the future and what that future will be is unknown to her.

However, it was not useless as most of the time, the future that she sees was usually connected with big events. Be it survival of races, or the war that might happen.

"Then we might not be able to stop them from fighting. But at least, we might be able to make it so that Aasimar girl doesn't die fighting that human."

King Tranduil said. As someone who wants to save the world from calamity, he wanted to preserve as many strong people as possible.

"Your majesty, that might not be possible!"

Elara said, knowing that her king's hope might be hopeless.

"What?"

"The human that killed her, I suspect that he will be one of the young geniuses that humans sent over!"

Elara replied. Certainly, if Seraphine became stronger she might not be killed as she saw in the future, however, the result might be the same if her killer also gets stronger.

"Are you sure? Did you see his face?"

King Tranduil asked.

"Your majesty, it is just my assumption. Unfortunately, in the future that I saw, I couldn't clearly see his face. However, from his body stature, it was easy for me to know that he was young, very young, probably younger than Seraphine."

Elara continued, "Someone like that would definitely be a genius and he might be one of the people invited to Luminary Spring."

"...."

King Tranduil found it a bit unbelievable. He could see that Seraphine was at Rank-S + which was very strong. In a few years, just as Elara said, she will become Rank-SS, almost an invincible being.

Apart from Calamity, no one should be capable of taking on that girl. But a human, someone younger than her would be able to kill her.

Doesn't that seem familiar?

"Is it Hiro?"

"I am not certain, your majesty! However, it didn't seem like it would be him. HIs stature didn't match that of Hiro that I know."

Elara answered.

"Maybe we will get the answer from this gathering!"

King Tranduil said. Elara also hoped so.

The young geniuses continued to talk and the atmosphere was harmonious. Although some races didn't get along very well, however, the grudge between them was not very severe. At least, not like with Devils and Humans who tried to annihilate them.

Elara shared some of her info to King Tranduil, like how strong some of them might be in the future she saw.

Then after some time, even the last human race which was human arrived. That's when the atmosphere of the reception area changed.

Humans were a race that had done many despicable things in the past including annihilating some of the races. And some races, although not annihilated, had been on the verge of annihilation.

Of course, that didn't mean that it was only their fault. Some races brought this upon themselves by attacking them first or taking their lands. However, in the process of either defending themselves or invading others, they had managed to make enemies with many races.

Aasimar was one of those races which humans tried to annihilate.

However, contrary to what they should feel, they were the one who was the least hostile to humans. Seraphine, who King Tranduil kept his eyes on, was even waving her hands to humans like they were friends.

Anyway, the Aasimar race was a special case. As for other people in the room, they all seem to be hostile towards Humans.

Elves and Dwarfs were once captured by humans to be slaves. Therianthropes were labeled as monsters and even hunted. Dryad and Druid's home were razed to the ground.

So, it can't be said that they don't have good reasons to hold grudges. However, those young human geniuses were not the one to do so and King Tranduil hoped that they could get along for a brighter future.
