Beware Of The One You Trust

"What do you mean, far from the level you can reach?" John asked 

"You have a lot of potential, is that surprising?" Master Sylvia asked 

John's reaction was rather strange for being told he could reach higher heights, but the reason he had reacted like that, wasn't because he was surprised that he could reach new levels, but because of the way Master Sylvia had said it. 

John had been told by Zestari countless times that he needed to reach a higher level, but never had Master Sylvia told him how strong he could become or how far he could reach. In fact, she did the opposite and never seemed to show any interest in John's potential. 

It was mainly John asking her to train this and that, not her wanting to train him. This fact made John feel slightly unsettled. He wasn't sure if he was just being too wary or sensitive around Master Sylvia, but what he did know was that, the timing for her to say that only made things worse.
