387 Affecting Fate (1/2)

”Teacher, are you really leaving?”

The two girls asked with teary eyes when Yale spoke about his intentions of leaving the town to continue with his travel.

”Yes. I still have a lot of things to do, and I can't lose my time in this town.”

Yale had already used a lot of time helping those girls and the others in the group due to the relationship they had with Shirk in the past, but he wanted to continue looking for his friends.

”Then, take us with you! We want to go with you! We will obey any order, and we don't provoke any problems to you, teacher. Please, let us follow you!”

Those two girls couldn't bear being separated from Yale after those months of being together. They didn't mind about leaving their families behind; they just wanted to follow Yale.

”No.”

Yale's answer was like throwing cold water to the two girls, but Yale was firm in his decision.

”Why?”

The girls had difficulties to accept that their teacher was rejecting them so coldly. Moreover, they were the only ones who dared to ask Yale for reasons since the rest would just obey everything without hesitation.

”Listen well. You can't come with me because you two are still too weak.”

Although both girls were the strongest in the group, they knew very well that the distance between them and Yale was enormous.

”But... we were weaker than now when we met.”

Despite knowing that they were weaker than Yale, they still felt that Yale's reason wasn't consistent enough since they had been together for months without worrying about that matter.

”My presence will turn negative to your fates if you remain with me more time. If you want to meet me again, you must turn strong enough. Remaining here with your families is for your own sake. Following me is bad for you two.”

Although Yale was at the peak of the Sage Rank, his situation was a bit special since he already fused with some essences and was a Timeless Sovereign. Thus, his presence would end turning negative for the fates of those who were far weaker than him.

Initially, the situation of those girls and all the others in the group was partially provoked by the Last Wish System's artificial intelligence while Yale was in the Timeless Border, and when Yale changed the past, they were affected since Shirk and Driwna appeared and prevented a tragedy that should have happened to the family of the girls.

Thus, despite having never met before, those people had a bit of fate with Yale, so it wasn't a problem if Yale helped them a bit, but helping them more than he already did, would turn negative for their futures.

”How strong must we become?”

The two girls were extremely motivated, but motivation alone wasn't enough to fulfill Yale's conditions.

”There isn't an exact measure for that. The stronger you become, the more chances you will have to meet me again.”

Yale was planning to leave the world after his soul was completely recovered, so he knew that it might be difficult for those girls finding him unless they become strong enough to be alive after he returned or to travel across worlds to look for him.

Although Yale hadn't checked the fates of those two, he knew that if they wanted to meet him again, they had a difficult path ahead.

Everyone had a fate, and it was possible to change it with effort and by turning stronger but relying too much on powerful existences was always harmful to those fates.

However, the Timeless Sovereigns were exceptions and didn't have any fate, since they destroyed it after altering the past. Thus, every action of them was something that the fates of the rest weren't taking into account and would constantly change just by being in contact with the Timeless Sovereign. The fates of others were passively influenced.
