Before beginning his training program, Commander Yseult had gone over everything she understood about Elias, again and again, and the result left her astonished.
It was not the power he was displaying; she would be surprised if he did not have this sort of power with three active legacies, but it was the solidity of his growth despite his speed of ascension that kept surprising her.
Every test she had given to the child that she wanted to use as a benchmark to see his limits had failed. Elias was not the most talented Siphon she had seen. There were true monsters in certain parts of the world, but at the moment, she wanted to break Elias to rebuild him from the pieces, but for now, he was still fighting hard to preserve his previous state.
The training trial she had created was estimated to push him to his limit and break him; he was not meant to win, but there was a possibility of victory. If he won, it meant she had not pushed him hard enough, and Yseult was eager to find out.
