'But at the same time, isn't that the best opportunity?'
From the time he'd spent with Xue'er in the past few weeks, he affirmed his notion that struggle was the foundation of strength.
Astoria grew rapidly because he forced her out of comfort, Elena was able to progress through 4th class in no time at all because she suffered and survived.
And Damien, regardless of the help he had from the Void Physique, regardless of his talent, would've never reached his level without suffering.
Suffering that turned him into a masochist built character, built strength, and built fortitude. Even if he was granted the chance to go back and do it again, he wouldn't try to lessen his suffering.
In fact, he'd try harder and suffer harder so he could grow even faster than he did in the present timeline.
'It should happen in another day.'
His mind cleared. "Emotion" no longer ruled his decisions.
