Thirty Days of Classes, part 2 (before battle)
My name is Yi Sang. That is all.
The class I have prepared for the day…
Aha, I've heard plenty about your 'Mirror' tech.
Which makes me wonder...
... going by the level of advancement in that technology, couldn't you have approached it from a different "angle"?
…….
You know how technological advancement usually goes. People invent for the sake of creation, only to have their inventions inevitably warped into weapons of destruction.
Indeed... You show much promise already.
As you surmise now, the Mirror has, in the past, almost been employed to shatter possibilities instead of reflecting them.
... I'm sure that's the angle most others wanted to see happen. "Removal of potential risks" sounds much more palatable than "potential" itself to some people, after all.
Correct again. Yet, destruction was a word that bore too much suffering for my heart; my sole egress from it was abandonment of my quondam fellows and my life's work - making myself a fugitive from the past.
How did you bring yourself to just... abandon it all?
…….
I conversed.
With who?
With my self... that lies within me.
As you are aware, the Mirror's reflection extends beyond the veils of our own reality.
It reflects the potentialities, the latent strength, and the world.
Yet, even among them, the reflection of the greatest importance is... that of the self.
Let not the innumerable worlds of the Mirror enchant your gaze; first, one must direct their studies inward and reflect upon oneself.
