Searching seems to be what everyone does throughout their lives.
The same goes for elves who are willing to get close to humans. They are looking for a trainer that suits them.
The process of searching is often extremely long, so long that if you miss it once, there may not be a better option for the rest of your life. Regret is always the result of looking back on the past after making wrong choices again and again.
Shuttlecock Mian chose Luther, and Luther also chose her.
Regret? It doesn’t exist.
Luther had always lacked self-confidence before. It was always very difficult for a person who always muddle along, live a dull life without flowers and applause to accumulate self-confidence.
Therefore, Luther's topic naturally leads to how to improve self-confidence.
Luther's question seemed to be unexpected. Sirona's hand holding the tea cup was stunned for a moment: "You were so firm in your question about shuttlecock cotton just now. It surprises me to ask this question now."
"I think my current self-confidence is only based on continuous victories, so this will make me instinctively afraid of failures and challenges." Luther replied.
Mai stood up and leaned towards the grill while holding her own plate, saying she wanted to help.
Luther grabbed the corner of Mai's clothes and signaled to her that it was completely okay.
I understand that Mai wants to leave some space for Luther to get along with the champion alone to solve his own problems, but Luther doesn't think this is something that needs to be avoided.
Sirona frowned: "Well...you really have confused me. When I first debuted, I was similar to you. I was not confident in myself and didn't know if I really had the kind of talent worthy of being praised. I gained confidence.
The only way is to keep winning. In the end, I don’t need to think about my failures. To me, failure is completely acceptable.”
Luther has always believed that Sirona's self-confidence is innate. Looking at various reports and interviews, from her debut to now, Sirona has been arrogant on the court. There is no word stage fright in the dictionary. I didn't expect that there is such a secret.
Can listen.
Mai, in particular, excitedly wrote down Sirona's words in the memo on her phone after hearing it. It seemed she wouldn't stop until she compiled a quotation.
Kalunai looked at Luther with an elusive smile: "You can understand that she is waiting for a defeat, in Sinnoh, in the land that cultivated her growth, to usher in a defeat based on Sinnoh's battle rules.
"
Luther was just stunned for a moment before he understood what Kalunai said.
"What will all life give birth to after meeting other lives?"
"Oh, have you also done research on that stone tablet?" Sirona smiled, "I just gave this sentence to two people this afternoon. They will be extremely outstanding trainers, I can feel it."
"Ash and Shinji are light and shadow, the front and back of the coin. Their experiences and growth process have contributed to their completely different ways of dealing with things now, and have also made them entangled with each other and become powerful enemies." Luther raised his head and looked at Sirona:
"Are you also waiting for such a person?"
"What I'm looking for is not the other side of myself. What I'm looking for is someone who can stand in front of me and fight against me until the very end. Only such a person can make me feel my flaws."
Sirona said, "If you have confidence, you might be the one I'm looking for."
"Why not Karuna?"
Kalunai wiped the cream from the corner of her mouth: "A'du and Sirona fought once. A'du's Kuailong finally lost to the Biting Land Shark, and Sirona still had a Menas."
"The battle between Daigo and Sirona ended in a tie. Sirona had the highest opinion of Daigo, but Daigo's upper limit has been set by himself. He is a very persistent person, as stubborn as a stone. We persuaded him to be in the lineup
Adding more changes, but he still uses ground, rock, and steel as the main configuration."
"Furthermore, Daigo has no intention of continuing on the road of becoming stronger. The title of champion is just a burden to him. Out of a sense of responsibility, he has been waiting for a suitable challenger to appear. But unfortunately, such a challenger has not yet appeared in the Hoenn region.
people."
"The same goes for A'Du. In the early years, he was at least as good as Sirona. The reason why he declined was because he shifted his focus after becoming a prosecutor. The same problem happened to Daiwu and A'Du. A'Du was too
He cares about the attribute of dragon, so he is easy to target."
Luther understood that among all the people, strictly speaking, only Sirona is currently focused on improving in battle.
Adek's elf has been depressed since his death, and Kalunai has been distracted by various chores. There are very few people like Sirona who purely maintain a high level of competitiveness.
But no matter how good the competitive state is, it can't compete with daily life without passion.
Sirona could clearly feel that she had stagnated, and the battle had become a way to find happiness for herself, and it was no longer something worth looking forward to.
This seems to be something that every champion will encounter. After being too powerful, they will face endless emptiness. In order to fill the emptiness, they need to find more things that interest them so that they will no longer be bored.
Sirona likes the leisurely and leisurely daily life now, but she is worried that her proud fighting level will gradually decline, and she feels very conflicted.
A'Du chose to become an investigator, Daiwu found out that he had become a champion through hard work, and after the novelty wore off, he went back to playing with his own rocks, and Kalunai had his own career.
People have different worries, and each league also feels that other people's champions are better than their own.
"Help delete the information about the battle with Adu and Daigo, and keep it secret for us." Sirona put a skewer of barbecue on Mai's dinner plate.
Mai hurriedly deleted the part about other champions from what she had just written down.
Sirona saw the store manager and his wife being in a hurry on the grill, so she got up and went to help, and Mai chased after them like a little follower.
"What can Carunai teach me? About self-confidence." Luther asked.
"I have been exposed to the stage since I was a child. I have been raised not to be afraid of any scene since I was a child. The same is true for my self-confidence. Many times it comes from the accumulation from childhood and the subtle influence of the educational environment."
"What I can teach you is to let go of your burdens." Kalunai's blue eyes were exceptionally clear, "I think your lack of confidence comes entirely from your fear of failure. And the reason why you are afraid of failure is probably because you are afraid of coming from the outside world.
Although I don’t understand what kind of harsh upbringing environment you have that causes you to worry like this, you seem to care too much about other people’s opinions.”
Luther didn't know how to speak, and every word Kalunai said touched his weakness.
"You just said that you are afraid that the self-confidence built up by victory will collapse, right? That is not actually self-confidence, but vanity. You just created a strong self just to enjoy the applause and boast. You have to know that the only thing in Sirona's eyes is that she cares.
thing."
"Pay attention to those who pay attention to you, just care about their feelings and opinions." Looking at Luther's stretched brows, Carunai smiled and said, "Love what you love."
"Thank you very much!" Luther savored it in silence for a while, and then his face flushed with excitement.
He never thought that the problem that he had not overcome at all would be easily solved by Kalunai, and he would finally get a solution.
To love what I love, Luther only needs to give his feelings to the people he cherishes.
Your own elves, your own friends, they are the cornerstone of your own self-confidence.
I have always thought too far away, my own elves, they are the source of my self-confidence.
The encounter with them and every interaction with them made Luther's heart warmer.
Luther's eyes swept over Larulus, Marylou, Shuttlecock Mian, and the Dream Demon. He had never been so full of passion as at this moment.
After time traveling, in order to give myself a clear goal and move forward with more motivation, I always thought about fulfilling my dream for myself in my previous life, and my goal was to defeat the mythical beast Takumu.
Now Luther has a more important goal, to become stronger together with his elves, until one day he can become the "person" Sirona said.
You don’t need to win a crown, you don’t need to be known to the world, you don’t need those flowers and applause that you once longed for.
Victory is completely irrelevant, because this time, it is to prove yourself!
