Dorian and Bryan knew what Kai was going to talk about.
It was inevitable.
As the deadline approached, Kai would have no choice but to have a talk with them.
So, the moment he asked them to talk earlier during the morning exercise, they knew that it was coming. A weight settled over them like a shroud. Even though the two wanted to believe in a lie, that things would turn out well in the end, Kai's presence shattered that.
Kai always lived in reality.
He didn't believe in delusions, only the harsh truths.
From the moment his sister was sacrificed for mankind, he knew that the answers to all of his problems could only be handled with strength. He dedicated every waking second to survive, fight the obstacles that were thrown in his way, and never let out as much as a moan.
Because the world didn't care about excuses.
It was simply a matter of what had been done and what hadn't.
In this case, Bryan had shown no sign of reaching the Aspirant Supernal rank.
