บท 160: A century of change

"Did you know that the first person to awaken their powers was an S Class Esper of physical strengthening? Do you know how he awakened? When he did?" Kellen shook his head, and a slight smile touched the Captain's lips. "He crushed the arms of his daughter as he tried to protect her from a monster racing at them." Horror crossed Kellen's face at the reveal. "He surged immediately since he was so overwhelmed by what he had done, but thankfully, he directed it towards the monsters. He was also the first person to close a gate, but because no one followed him in, we had no idea how to close gates until much later. When someone survived after destroying a core and made it out alive. Tragic, isn't it? That his story got erased so quickly, even though he was so important to humanity?" Rhys had a self deprecating smile on his face, and Kellen's chest filled with despair. This wasn't where he had wanted his thoughts to go.
