Desther could have continued their usual setup and still allow Noah to rise through the top 10 without any problem.
However, the problem with that kind of setup was that Noah would gain recognition without the strength to actually back it up.
It was alright if he only stayed inside a shelter, but if he ever went out, danger would always be on his side without any strength to confront it.
Hence, he figured that instead of doing the usual, it would be in Noah's interest to let him actually face the monster on his own.
Their first agreement was only to protect Noah anyway.
Hearing that, Noah nodded his head in agreement.
Although it was good to be carried like this, it would eventually come back to bite him in the ass later on.
He was also reminded by his father about this once.
Having friends was good, but when it matters most, only you could truly be relied on.
'I wonder if Desther is actually this strong because he doesn't have any friends to rely on?'
