Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 363 The Catastrophe of Abraham's Younger Generation
Bethel re-registered the Abrahamic members who had returned to their homeland, with a particular focus on the younger generation that the Abrahams had brought back.

Unlike Dorian, who recommended Fors, perhaps due to the psychological trauma of being betrayed by someone before, the elderly Abrahams who returned to their homeland basically did not bring back any young people who were not of Abrahamic blood. Instead, the middle-aged Abrahams did bring back some students who were not of Abrahamic blood.

Bethel chose a time to gather this group of young people aged 15 to 30 together, roughly assess their qualifications, and found that not many were outstanding, most could only be described as average, and a few were even worse than that.

Bethel could only shake his head in disbelief.

"Don't be so strict, Bethel. Most of these kids live in anonymity with their parents, so it's normal for them not to stand out. Besides, geniuses are a minority," Rowling said, comforting Bethel, who looked slightly disappointed.

“I know, but… sigh!” Bethel sighed. He knew that he might have had too high expectations, but there was nothing he could do. The younger generation that Bethel had come into contact with in this era included Klein and Fors. One became a god in three years and the other became an angel in more than ten years. Under such a brilliant example, it was inevitable that he would have some unrealistic illusions.

It has now been proven that the illusion was just that – an illusion. At least, apart from Fors, Abraham did not have such a genius.

However, although Bethel was disappointed, he did not give up on Abraham's younger generation. After all, even if their aptitude was really ordinary, becoming a low-sequence extraordinary person was still not a problem. If they played the role of law well, the middle sequence would not be a difficult hurdle.

As for demigods, that's an insurmountable hurdle for most people, so Bethel doesn't insist on it.

So soon, the younger generation of Abraham, who were excited about the return of their ancestor and even fantasized that Abraham could regain his former glory, were met with the harsh reality of knowledge.

You're an ordinary person who wants to become extraordinary? Sure, first learn all this basic knowledge of occultism, and at least learn one occult language!

Are you already an Extraordinary and wish to advance? Have you studied magic? How well are you digesting potions? How well have you mastered the abilities of this path? How much do you know about the abilities of Extraordinary beings from other paths? How much do you know about various Extraordinary creatures? Can you name a monster just by its description? How many occult languages ​​have you mastered? How well do you know about the spirit world…?

What? You don't know any of this? And you still want a promotion? Do you want to become a complete fraud?!

The younger generation of the Abraham family never dreamed that upon their return they would be faced with an overwhelming amount of learning materials. From then on, they lived a life where they had textbooks in their eyes, practice problems in their eyes, and even had to do a few test papers in their dreams when they fell asleep.

Many young people who were originally full of ambition went to their elders in tears after studying for a few days. However, their elders just smiled, patted their heads, and sent them back.

After all, firstly, who would dare to defy their ancestors? Secondly, learning mystical knowledge is not a bad thing. At least as extraordinary individuals of the Gate Path, they do have a need to learn knowledge—after all, the Gate Path is not like the Warrior Path, which only requires fighting and killing.

Not to mention that even the warrior path has a lot of knowledge to learn.

Parents can only comfort their children or students: Many extraordinary individuals want to learn this knowledge but have nowhere to learn it. Keep going!
The younger generation: ...

It's hard to say whether Abraham's younger generation ever had a moment when they wanted to drag their elders down with them and drown together in the ocean of knowledge.

Among these young people suffering in dire straits was Fors.

Fors was even more in dire straits than the others. At least the other young generation of Abraham only needed to bury themselves in their studies, digest the potion, and master their own power. Fors was different; she also had to find time to write.

"So why did I ever think of accepting Jack's commission in the first place?" Fors looked up at the scenery outside the window and couldn't help but ponder this philosophical question.

"Perhaps it's because he gave so much?"

A voice suddenly rang out, and Fors jumped and looked at the speaker. Sure enough, it was Lucifer the Great Demon King.

She was actually quite used to his appearance, since Lucifer had been staying at Abraham's house all this time.

"Your Highness Lucifer, what brings you here?" Fors asked, forcing a smile.

"I think you probably haven't forgotten that today is the deadline?" Luo Lin said with a smile.

Fors choked for a moment; she had really forgotten about it. After all, she had been studying so hard lately that she had almost lost track of time.

Fortunately, after being harassed by the terrifying Rowling for his manuscript last time, this lazy bum finally stood up and wrote quite a few manuscripts during this period. So at this moment, Fors did not back down and proudly whispered, "I have finished writing. Please wait a moment, I will find it for you right away."

Soon, Fors found a notebook among a pile of exercises, handed it to Rowling, and whispered, "But because I've been busy studying lately, I haven't had time to print them out yet, so I only have the manuscript for now."

Rowling took the notebook and immediately began to read it. He had to admit that Fors was quite skilled; the characters he created were not only vivid, but the stories were also very intricate, which made Rowling very satisfied.

Rowling then returned the notebook to Fors, saying:
"I will reiterate the contents of this manuscript to Jack and have him transfer this payment to you. I hope you can deliver a satisfactory result by the next deadline."

"...I will try my best." Fors managed another forced smile.

Luo Lin didn't make things difficult for her any further. After all, once the work was done, he was a very easy person to talk to.

Rowling then went to visit Bethel.

At that time, Bethel was reading a history book that described the history of the Fifth Age.

While Abraham's younger generation was exploring the ocean of knowledge, Bethel himself was able to use every spare moment to supplement the knowledge that He had lost because He was sealed away.

"Is something the matter?" Bethel looked up at Rowling and asked.

"Something's up!" Roland nodded matter-of-factly and said, "I need to go see Sasriel to discuss rescuing Little To. Do you want to come along?"

Bethel thought for a second before realizing that Little Tor was referring to the Bound God Thorzna. He then put down the book in his hand, nodded, and said, "Wait a few minutes, I'll arrange the children's afternoon lessons."
