First timeline (2)

The mission assigned to Zick was different than in the second timeline. 

[ "Become the greatest merchant all over the continent. Not only in the grocer's profession, but in all the other aspects of the merchant profession, you must be the best. Only then will you have any right to fight to be the next head of the family." ] The letter oozed arrogance, giving off a domineering feeling.

Zick threw the letter in his hand into the dustbin, he did not think such a nonsensical mission would be thrown at him. 

Zick rated his skills in the merchant profession to only be above average. He just had more knowledge than the others.

It wasn't worth mentioning before the people who learned and experienced the life of a merchant from a very young age. 

Some people were just born genius, while some were born mediocre. No matter how Zick tried, he would never be able to surpass those geniuses in their fields of expertise.
