However, the results had not been very promising. The saying that the present must surpass the past only applied when the inheritance remained intact. If a link was broken, it was no different from starting over from scratch. The time-based secret techniques developed over the Fairy Clan's long history were naturally not something the Federation, a newly risen power, could surpass in a short time...
Moreover, because this secret art was incomplete, it required a great deal of time to study, and few people were willing to do so.
