บท 347: What does it mean to be the best? [4]

To excel above all others. 

This was what it meant to be best. 

Caius was the best. 

He knew he was the best. 

He.... 

Had to be the best. 

Beep...! Beeep...! 

The dark world shattered, giving way to the same white void. It crept into every corner, consuming all in its path.

....It felt empty. 

A soft, relentless 'beeping' sound began to echo through the emptiness

"...." 

Caius stood in silence, looking around. 

'....I don't want to break you.'

Julien's words rang powerful in his mind. They were like whispers, trying to shatter his composure, but he remained calm.

He had absolute confidence in himself. 

This was all a mind game. 

Just like the soft white world that enveloped him. 

Beep...! Beeep...! 

The beeps continued, but no image appeared. They rang loudly in Caius's mind, prompting his brows to knit together into a frown.
