Prophecy and Parting

Linsey: Alvitte, so Kang Song's skill came from your ancestor!

Alvitte: Yeah. Otherwise, why would I answer immediately the moment you mentioned his name, without even having to think?

Linsey: Now that you know I met him, isn't there anything you want me to pass along?

Alvitte: No.

Alvitte: I'm grateful for the path my predecessors opened up, and I'll carve out a path of my own as well. If you insist on passing along a message for me—just say thank you. Though City of Law is still caught in war, just as has happened countless times throughout history, some things can only be gained through change forged in iron and blood.

Linsey closed the Friend Channel.

He turned to look at Kang Song, who was ferociously gnawing on a pig trotter, and simply could not imagine that this was the future ruler of City of Law.

Was this guy really a Seventh Stage Awakened?

He did not have an ounce of the bearing he ought to have.

"Kang Song, someone asked me to pass along a message."

"She's very grateful for the sensory techniques you pioneered, and she's working hard to make the world a better place."

Kang Song immediately set down the pig trotter without even wiping his mouth.

"She... that child from the future, she also thinks the idea that everyone is equal is right?"

Linsey nodded.

"She goes far beyond believing everyone is equal! To protect persecuted demi-humans, she's currently fighting humans tooth and nail!"

Kang Song laughed without the slightest self-awareness.

"Hahaha! It must be hard getting along with that Righteous Walker as a friend, right?"

"But I'm guessing the two of you must have a pretty good relationship!"

Linsey nodded.

"I think it's fine. It's only natural that intelligent life should be respected."
