Chapitre 633: Old Acquaintances [Pt 2]

Unknown to his colleagues and those who knew him, Reed Sterling was a man who had battled with inferiority his whole life.

Sure, he had a considerable amount of Mana—compared to everyone else. Plus, he Awakened at the age of five, the normal age for children at that time.

He was by no means untalented in Magic. No, he was incredibly skilled in it, and his knowledge of the concept exceeded most of his peers.

However, there was a certain reason why he still felt inferior. Something that always gnawed at him no matter how hard he tried to ignore it.

And that was the existence of far more talented individuals.

Reed was powerful, knowledgeable, and very skilled. That was all true. However, there were people who were far greater than him in those departments.

A prime example was Mordecai Kaelid. They were not even on the same playing field when it came to talent or skill. Reed only had the edge in his research and diversification of theories.

He lost in other areas… badly.
