Suna continued, "The problem isn't with you, but with your Magic Spirits."
Dark's frown deepened. "My Magic Spirits? What's wrong with them?"
Suna said, "More specifically, it's that White Cat and lionman of yours."
Dark said, "Gatomon and Leomon?"
Suna sighed. "Those two. The two Magic Spirits with Hero potential."
At the mention of "Hero potential," Dark gradually began to get an idea.
But it was only that his Magic Spirits possessed "Hero potential." While unusual, it was hardly unprecedented. There were even more extraordinary cases.
Among the classifications of Magic Spirits was the "Human Species."
It contained limitless possibilities.
It was entirely possible to accidentally refine certain figures who had once existed in history.
More than one Grand Magus had once attempted to reproduce historical figures through Magic Spirits.
Though such reproductions could only create empty shells, and had been classified as a "taboo" and jointly outlawed.
If one were refined by accident, however, there was nothing to be done about it.
Those "Human Species" Magic Spirits generally possessed special traits, and "Hero potential" was merely one of them.
Of course, neither Gatomon nor Leomon was a "Human Species."
"Could that be the problem?"
Dark pinched Galileo's soft flesh, feeling that it was unlikely.
In truth, it indeed had nothing to do with that.
Suna slowly said, "Do you know where the title 'Hero' comes from?"
Dark nodded slightly. "I've read about it."
The title of "Hero" had extremely deep roots.
According to the legends of this world, the first human was called the "Saint"—both god and human.
In order to protect humanity, the "Saint" had once divided into three.
After the three resulting infants grew into adults, one became an unparalleled Hero.
Another became an all-knowing Sage.
The last became an incomparably noble Emperor.
All "Heroes"
