Listening to the boy's claims a long silence loomed, Lorenzo and Ann were still trying to figure out how the boy planned to use the dungeon relocation apparatus to create the conditions to summon a dungeon similar to the silver beach gate dungeon.
As for Colleen, she was still trying to figure out the difference between creating a dungeon and creating suitable conditions to summon dungeons. Aren't dungeons natural like plants, one doesn't create them they create the required conditions to grow them.
"..." I looked at the three who were lost in deep thought hearing my saturated truth. I patiently waited for them to digest what they just learned.
"Lorenzo, what do you think? Is what the boy claiming possible," Colleen was the first to break the long silence.
"I don't know, I have read a lot of theoretical works on creating required conditions to summon a dungeon but non of those have shown any significant practical results during the testing. Besides, the boy not only claims to just summon any dungeon but a dungeon similar to the silver beach gate dungeon. Now that is a bold claim," Lorenzo was not lying, in the past many great minds have worked to think of different ways to create dungeons and collectively decided that dungeons were natural they cannot create them but create the required conditions to summon them. The boy's claims were bolder than theirs but somewhat similar to theirs, which was why Lorenzo could not directly discard the boy's claims.
Colleen then turned to look at her granddaughter, feeling her grandma's eyes Ann added, "I don't know if what he claims is possible but What I would like to know is how he will use the dungeon relocation apparatus to not only create the required conditions to summon a dungeon but a dungeon similar to the silver beach gate dungeon?"
Listening to Ann's question both Colleen and Lorenzo turned their heads to focus on the boy asking for an explanation.
Feeling their collective gaze land on me I was not fazed, I knew they would ask this of me soon or later so I had already prepared a sound argument, "What I would like to know— no, what the world would like is how the Morningstar university is able to achieve world travel? Now, would Morningstar University will be willing to share it with the world?"
"What are you trying to say?" Ann asked the boy who rambled on about something instead of answering what he was asked.
"Are you saying that you don't want to share how you plan to use the dungeon relocation apparatus to create conditions to summon a dungeon?" Colleen immediately understood what the boy was implying.
Collen wasn't the only one even Lorenzo too but he felt something was off here. However, he did not bother to dwell on it as his thoughts were preoccupied with trying to figure out how the boy planned to use the dungeon relocation apparatus to create the specific conditions to summon a dungeon. What was he missing that the boy had noticed? Lorenzo went through the whole process of dungeon relocation in his mind over and over again trying to find the answer. He obsessed over it feeling that if he were to somehow figure it out it would make up for his sins as Luna's grandfather. A once smart man was now reduced to this.
"Yes, your highness. Just because I have something that others don't doesn't mean I have to share it with others.
I don't want to sound rude but it is already a huge consideration on my part that I am willing to use the knowledge I have to help summon a dungeon similar to sliver beach gate dungeon," I argued.
Hearing the boy's argument, Colleen was misled from asking the right questions about how the boy planned to achieve what he claimed and instead, she focused on the point that it was not right of her to ask the boy to share his important findings with them.
"Wait, how are this and that similar? Morningstar University has already achieved and demonstrated other world travel to the world but you have yet to demonstrate that you can use the dungeon relocation apparatus to create the required conditions to summon a dungeon. Heck, you haven't even used the dungeon relocation apparatus in your life. So all we are asking is for you to prove that you can deliver on your claims," Ann argued to not let the boy's argument undermine their right to know if he could do what he proposed. She did not let the boy turn the conversation from where he was on the stand to where they were on the stand.
"Ann, here's the thing, the question is not if I can deliver on my claims or not but if you guys are willing to take to the chance in front of you to rectify the wrong no matter how high the risk and odds are," I had Colleen and Lorenzo under control but Ann proved to be a tough nut to crack. I had to do something about her before she manages to ruin the good thing I have going on here.
Unlike Colleen and Lorenzo who felt guilty for the Freedom Fighter incident and were trying hard to compensate for it in any other way possible making them subjectable to the boy's tongue, Ann was more focused on the fact that the boy somehow managed to coerce her family into doing something that would stain their reputation for the end of the times.
Ann did not care about what happened in the Freedom Fighter incident what she cared about was if there was a good reason for Anna to trust the boy's words and risk their family's reputation, which allows her to see through the boy's bullshit, unlike her grandma and granduncle who wanted to give what the boy proposed a try just because they did not want the feeling that they did not try everything to rectify the past and a mere high schooler pointing at them that they did not roll the dice on the gamble that he presented to them promising to make everything right.
