Javier looked at his father, who stood not far away, hands folded behind his back, expression as calm and unreadable as usual.
"Pardon me, esteemed father," Javier began, keeping his voice steady.
"As I mentioned before… I found those old parchments mentioning the Power of Destruction and Hand of Creation. Since then, I've tried everything to find the users, using my detection magic, my Sky Eyes, my scout drones. I even flew my new inventions all across the world, searching for anyone who might pose a threat. But… I found nothing."
Garius studied him, then spoke evenly. "And what would you do, Javier, if I told you who these users are?"
Javier met his father's gaze, determination clear in his eyes. "I'd track them. Observe their powers directly. I'd build new inventions to counter them, so that if either of these users ever tried to use their powers for evil, I'd be ready to stop them."
