Sorry… Lathel… I'm really sorry.

"That's right." Hearing Lathel's question, Akna nodded and explained: "Class, talent, and youth..."

"For example, a person who has reached the required level but is very old and has normal talent cannot be called a genius."

"Or... a young person, because of luck and encountering some opportunity, can reach a high level in a short time, but if he or she possesses poor talent, they are not a genius."

"Or… a person who really possesses good talent at a young age but doesn't work hard at cultivating it is not a genius."

"That's why only a person who satisfies all three of those conditions can be called a genius."

"Of course, besides that, there are still many other conditions needed, but those other conditions are not worth worrying about."

Hearing that, Lathel nodded. He felt that the conditions for selecting Geniuses for the 'Genius Congress' were really harsh and ruled out all lucky scenarios.
