Chapter 2594: Failures "Oh, My God!" Crazy Marie cursed loudly, and this time, even Grandmaster Salvador wasn't able to stop her, as he was in awe of the scenery around himself that he wasn't able to react on time. It is not just crazy Marie who is shocked; the council and the Grand Lords are also shocked, more shocked than her. Unlike her, they know a complete truth, and if the crazy Marie knew what they knew, she wouldn't be just shocked. Thun! I looked at runic spheres before jumping down and a few seconds later, laded on the empty air, where the formation appeared as my feet touched it. It is a squire formation with deep black color runes, which give out an oppressive aura. It has cost me a fortune, and I hope it will increse my chances of success. I sat in the center of it, and as I did, the formation activated, and a black square lit up, and I felt my mind forming the connection with the seventy-one runic spheres. "Initiate the breakthrough!" I commanded, and my voice transmitted into all the spheres, and the second later, the breakthrough initiated. Within three seconds of my command, all of them initiated the breakthroughs, and their breakthrough stars lit up. I closed my eyes and appeared in my core, where a black squire similar to one outside was floating in the air, and my clone sitting in the center of it. I sat opposite it, white then seventy-one meta-scans floated around us, giving us real-time data on the breakthroughs. My core is the best place to command; here, I will get three times more time, which will be extremly beneficial to solving any problems that might arise. "Fuck!" I had just thought that, when the first problem appeared, it was the biggest one, the one which I could do nothing to help with other than do the damage control. No. 13's body had begun to show the signs of rejecting the breakthrough. Given the signs, it will reject the breakthrough completely. I could do nothing about it, especially when it is this early, which is bad. With my abilities, I could solve those problems, but it will be a temporary solution, as they will come again with greater force as the breakthrough procedes. It will not only be harder to deal with them, but it will also do irreplaceable damage to the person making the breakthrough. So, I initiated the procedure to stop the breakthrough. My seed inside him released the energy while I began to guide him slowly to stop the breakthrough. It is quite hard, especially when the person is young and does not have the mental fortitude as the older person who has experienced many things in life. Even for an older person with many huge experiences, this news is not easy to handle. It is common knowledge that once the Grandmaster's breakthrough fails, it is extremly hard, near impossible to succeed in it in the next attempts; it is a road closed. There have been very few people who have been able to succeed after their failure. I have told them all that it wouldn't be a problem for them to succeed in their next trial as long as they followed my instructions, but my words of a few minutes won't convince them, lifetimes of truths they have heard before. Still, the things I have done and the heights I have helped him achieve have made me trust him enough that after the initial breakdown, he was able to follow my instructions, and I was able to stop the breakthrough safely. He had suffered the damage, but the damage was not big; I am confident that I would be able to heal that serious damage within a few weeks, and he would not any anything impeding him when he tried to break into Grandmaster class next time. I really hoped it would be the only failed attempt; in the next two minutes, there were another two, and I can't say I was surprised. People spent years or even decades in preparation for their breakthrough into the Grandmaster class, while I had days. I have done what I could, but I knew there would be some failures; I just had to make sure those failures did not suffer the serious damage and would be able to make a successful breakthrough in their next attempt. Still, one thing that had me feel better is that these three who failed were also one of the people who had the least chance of success. It was not like I had taken them to fill the number and awe my bosses. No, these people have also possessed all the qualities needed to make a breakthrough into the Grandmaster class, its just that their chances were not as good as others. Three minutes passed, and another failure came; it was harder to guide it safely to stop the breakthrough, but I was able to do it; this one was too with the least chances. She had the worst chances of all but lasted longer than three. The longer the time passed in the breakthrough, the harder it was to stop it safely, but with a longer time, I could be forceful with my ways. I need them to continue for twelve minutes unaided; after twelve minutes, I will use all my abilities to help them have a successful breakthrough. Second, passed and turned into minutes; as such, ten minutes passed. Aside from three, there was no other failure, but I did not relax, as the problem could occur at any time, and I had to be ready to deal with it. The problem came one and a half minutes later; another subject began to show a sign of failure. "We can be forceful with her," said the clone, and I couldn't help but nod after seeing her meta-scan. She had crossed the important threshold half seconds ago; it had been before that, that I would have had no choice but to stop her breakthrough, but now, I do not need to.
