The Pegasus Training Program and the Goddess of Wisdom's True Worth

Sasha wrinkled her little nose and said in a cute way.

"Then keep it up. You know, boys generally develop later than girls."

Sasha, you don't want Tenma to look down at you years from now and say, "Sasha, you're just a little sister," do you?

Gwen joked.

"Hate!"

Sasha's smiling face immediately fell, and she punched Gwen in dissatisfaction.

Although she only vaguely understood these internet slang terms, the clever girl easily grasped Gwen's meaning.

"Brother Gwen, why do we have to wait several years?"

I can tell you right now...

From behind the curtain, Tenma's straightforward voice came, making Sasha's little face puff up even more.

"Alright, Tenma, stop being so cheeky, or you'll get extra training."

Seeing that Tenma was as straightforward as ever, Gwen smiled, glanced at Sage who had his eyes closed to the side, and raised his hand in greeting.

"It's been a while, old man."

"Um..."

Sage nodded slightly, glanced at Gwen, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Your aura has changed a lot..."

Have you made any new gains during this period?

"Yes, I took a trip to the universe and gained some insights."

Gwen offered a casual explanation, then looked at Tenma emerged from behind the curtain.

The abundant nutrition and training in the Sanctuary allowed this once somewhat thin little guy to grow a muscular physique, but his eyes remained as clear as ever.

"Tenma is here too, which means he was the first to try something new?"

"Gwen asked."

"Um..."

Sage nodded.

"After all, it's Pegasus..."

Tenma, however, couldn't get into the channel and looked completely bewildered.

"Crab?

I didn't get to eat any.

"..."

Sage covered his face, Sasha chuckled, and after Gwen finished laughing, he explained the origin and meaning of the phrase to Tenma, which immediately made the boy look enlightened.

"They'll notify me to come over, which means they've succeeded with Tenma?"

Gwen looked at Sasha.

"Hmm, take a look at this—"

Sasha nodded and took a parchment from the side, handing it to Gwen.

Chapter 759 The Tenma Training Program and the Value of the Goddess of Wisdom

Tenma

Level: L1

Strength: G289

Durability: H189

Dexterity: 99

Agility: 88

Magic: 0

"The magic power is so low?"

Seeing the final capital zero, Gwen raised an eyebrow, glanced at Tenma beside him, and then looked at Sasha—

"Is this the result of several days of training?"

"One day."

Gwen answered Sage—

"As for that zero score..."

This kid is a master at physical cultivation, but he's a complete idiot when it comes to cultivating his Cosmo. He still can't sense Cosmo existence..."

Even though it wasn't the first time he had faced Pegasus, Sage couldn't help but sigh when he saw Tenma awkwardly scratching his head after hearing his score.

In the last Holy War in his Remembrance, the Pegasus who had the same face as this stupid kid in front of him was also like this. Before the Holy War started, his strength could only be described as average among the Bronze Saints.

However, after the Holy War began, Pegasus made rapid progress and eventually even participated in the final battle alongside the Gold Saints, contributing significantly to the cause.

Therefore, after meeting Tenma, Sage couldn't help but want to nurture Tenma properly and see if Pegasus, with its higher starting point, could become stronger and ultimately reverse the situation.

However, after teaching for half a year, Sage recalled that the previous generation of Tenma had also been like this. Their training before the Holy War was full of stumbles, but they made rapid progress in the official Holy War, which did not last long.

Therefore, Sage was not at all surprised by Tenma's performance.

"But you guys keep talking about the Cosmo and stuff, I just can't sense it..."

Sage called him an idiot, Tenma scratched his head, not daring to argue back, and could only mutter under his breath.

"There's no need to be so harsh on Tenma, old man."

Seeing this, Gwen ruffled the boy's hair and gave him a baptism to restore him to his normal state.

"He has already worked very hard, and although his magic power is zero, his other improvements are also quite good, aren't they?"

For just one day, this result is already quite excellent, isn't it?

In an instant, a touch of gratitude—of being acknowledged and understood—appeared on Tenma's somewhat aggrieved face.

He knew that Sage and Crestor meant well, but he really couldn't understand what they were saying!

He could only strive within the areas he understood, but even though he had done his best, he still couldn't help feeling down and doubting himself when faced with Sage's occasional disappointed gaze. Fortunately, Sasha and Aaron's comfort helped him stabilize his mindset.

That's true, but...

Sage wanted to say something more, to see if Gwen had any unique insights, but seeing Sasha gently shake her head at him, the old man realized he might have been a bit too hasty. He quickly composed himself and sighed.

"Yes, I was getting a little anxious..."

In his memory, Pegasus was a powerful Saint Seiya could stand up and take the lead in the battle against Hades, the god of the underworld.

But this kid in front of him couldn't even control his Cosmo. Having worried about the Holy War for hundreds of years, his mentality was slightly unbalanced.

Ultimately, the person in front of him was not his former comrade-in-arms, but a young child.

"Sage, I will try my best from now on—"

"Read an extra hour every day, and try your best to understand what you and Grandpa Crestor are talking about..."

Upon hearing Sage's words, Tenma pursed his lips and spoke.

Although Sage was very strict with him when he taught him, he could feel the old man's expectations and love for him, and he didn't want to disappoint the old man.

"If you really can't understand it, there's no need to force yourself..."

A cool, clear voice came from the side, and Crestor, who had manifested as longing, appeared there, looking at Tenma—

"Originally, without comprehending the Cosmo, no matter how hard one cultivates the body, it is difficult to improve one's strength significantly."

But with this... there's a bit more room for maneuver.

Crestor was the previous generation's Aquarius Gold Saint, Tenma was the third Pegasus he had ever met, so he naturally knew this guy's character better than anyone else.

"Grandpa Crestor, you mean..."

Upon hearing Crestor's words, Sasha blinked, a guess forming in her mind.

"First, take advantage of the favor to let the Tenma play to its strengths and avoid its weaknesses, and improve its physical condition."

As for the Cosmo... leave that to the Specters.

Gwen and Sasha exchanged a glance, and Gwyn voiced what the girl was thinking.

"..."

Crestor nodded.

"Why should we hand it over to the Specters?"

Aren't they our enemies?

Little Tenma was a bit confused.

"In short, Tenma, you are truly a genius, one in a million—"

Gwen laughed.

"Eh, me... is that right?"

Tenma was somewhat flustered by Gwen's sudden praise.

"Certainly."

Gwen affirmed—

"Perhaps in your steady practice, your progress is not as good as others."

But you are the best warrior, and this talent will awaken in real battle, allowing you to grow rapidly.

Even though he is not the future Seiya Demon King, as the reincarnation of the same soul, Tenma has the same talent and his ability to learn from experience in battle is by no means inferior.

Moreover, as the son of Athena's owl, Tenma's basic talents are definitely among the best in the history of Pegasus.

"Is... is that so?"

Tenma said somewhat unsure of himself.

Although he usually appeared very optimistic, looking at Aaron's progress in cultivation and then at Sasha's progress as the reincarnation of Goddess, he couldn't help but have some self-doubt.

Faced with Gwen's praise, Tenma wanted to believe it, but he was also somewhat insecure.

"Certainly."

Gwen rubbed the boy's head—

"However, I can't think that just because I'm talented I can sit back and reap the rewards—"

Before the crisis that will stimulate your talents arrives, you must solidify your foundation and enrich yourself as much as possible so that you can more smoothly overcome it when danger comes.

"Yes, I know that!"

Tenma nodded vigorously.

"Just like in a village, you can't stop repairing the river embankment just because it's not raining. It will be too late to repair it when it rains heavily."

He couldn't understand many of the profound things that Grandpa Sage and Grandpa Crestor said, but he could still understand these simple principles smoothly.

"Hmm, isn't that clever..."

Gwen laughed.

"I'm sorry, Tenma, I've been too harsh on you lately."

Seeing that Tenma's mood had improved, Sage sighed and stepped forward.

Although his actions stemmed from disappointment in the child's lack of ambition, they did put too much pressure on the child, and he needs to apologize.

"Ha...

It's alright, Grandpa Sage, I know you're doing this for my own good...

But like Gwen said, could I... play to my strengths and avoid my weaknesses?

"I really don't understand a lot of what's being taught in class..."
