I am the protagonist

It's very easy to understand.

"Your death flames are an extremely aggressive power, far more dangerous than you imagined."

"After all... human cells also divide. What if your Death Flame has been honed to the point where it can enter the human body and devour the nutrients of a person's cells like a virus?"

"!?"

"It's terrifying, isn't it?"

"But these are not things to be afraid of."

"The flames of death are not a friendly force to begin with; when their power is pushed to its limit, they become the ultimate destructive force in nature."

"Sunny weather, misty weather, rain, clouds, thunder, and fog are all forces of nature that should not be underestimated."

"The sky may not possess such great power, but its compatibility is the strongest. Therefore, the sky can encompass everything, but it can also devour everything."

"The power of any one of the seven attributes of the Death Flame, when developed to its fullest potential, is incomparably terrifying, and in the past, only Yi Shi and his guardians reached this pinnacle."

"Sasakawa is now moving towards the ultimate, Gokudera has reached the edge of the ultimate, Yamamoto is also on the edge of the ultimate, only Chrome has reached the ultimate of mist, and is now beginning to explore new attributes."

"Qing's rapid activation can cause cells to undergo forced division and collapse."

"The decomposition of the storm can break down even the molecules."

"The calming effect of rain can bring all molecules to a standstill."

"The structure of fog may be the weakest, but it is also the most likely to be so."

"The proliferation of clouds can achieve devastating invasion at the cellular level."

"The hardening of lightning is not only effective in defense, but also in cells."

"The seven different attributes of the Death Flame can all restrain each other. There is no question of which one is stronger, but rather who can bring out the ultimate potential of each attribute."

These words made Lark's breathing become heavier.

These are areas he couldn't access before.

This was a realm he could never reach in the past, but now it has finally been revealed.

No wonder I could never catch up with those guys no matter how hard I tried; it turns out the gap between my experience and my self-awareness was too big.

At this moment, Hibari finally understood why his efforts were like starting from scratch, while others were soaring like rockets.

It's not that he didn't try.

Rather, his efforts did not yield greater returns.

Without improving one's self-awareness and understanding of one's abilities, no matter how hard one tries, progress will only be limited to that range.

It turns out our difference lies in our understanding.

That guy's efforts are in a different direction than mine.

How much time have I actually wasted?

Just from the text, Hibari could tell that the power of the Dying Flame here was not so easy to uncover.

Of those creatures, apart from a small baby with very poor abilities, the skinny little animal had already completed the exploration of the power of the Death Flame, but he hadn't made a single step forward.

"Because you can't accept other people."

"Because you subconsciously reject everyone."

"This is a problem with your personality, so you should try to change your attitude towards the people around you."

Chapter 138 Hunters Don't Need to Be Aloof

"Even a hunter will not act like a hunter in front of his prey; he should only act like a hunter when he is hunting his prey."

"Hibari, remember to change your aloof attitude."

"What real hunter would scare away their prey like you do?"

Why do I feel like you're more of a hunter than I am?

In terms of sheer strength, Hibari could sense that Sawada Tsunayoshi was a hunter in his eyes, while he was a lowly animal.

It's hard to believe I'd ever become a small animal.

But I must admit, I am indeed weaker now.

If someone as weak as me can't face myself, then I'm nothing but pointless arrogance.

Lark is proud to the core.

But now he knows that his strength is not commensurate with the pride in his bones.

So what's needed now is not arrogance.

His current arrogance is a stumbling block preventing him from moving forward.

What about my workout?

"Since the goal is to explore the potential of the Death Flame, the natural requirement is to train the control over it."

"All beginnings require control of the Death Flame."

"Purity, quantity, and control."

"The three stages of the Death Flame".

"Only when these three conditions are met are you qualified to explore the limits of your abilities."

The purity of the Death Flame is something that needs to be improved initially after the Death Flame is ignited.

The amount of Death Flame needs to be increased after the purity has been improved, in order to take it to the next level.

Once the purity and quantity have met the requirements for promotion, then control becomes the most crucial point.

Only sufficiently pure Death Flame can unleash a purer power.

However, using this ability requires a very large amount of Death Flame.

Therefore, the first two conditions are essential for unlocking the power of the Death Flame.

The last condition is the ability to control the Death Flame.

Only when all three conditions are met can one pursue the ultimate ability of the Death Flame.

"Then let's start exercising... Although that's what I wanted to say, I have some things to do right now and don't have much free time."

Tsunayoshi was actually a little helpless, as he really didn't have much free time lately.

Since taking office, there are actually many things to do and many issues to resolve.

He now needs to continue helping Chrome familiarize herself with her hidden other attribute, the Dying Will Flame.

"So, I'll find you someone who won't break so easily."

Tsuna picked up his phone and dialed a number.

【Tsuna?】

Why did you suddenly decide to call me today?

"Well, actually, there's something I need to trouble you with."

"The lark has come to my side."

【! ? 】

[This is really unexpected. I didn't expect Kyoya to come looking for you.]

Well, Kyoya's strength has indeed improved a lot, so it's normal for him to ask you to help him improve.

"It's good that he came to me, but I have a lot of things to do and can't give him the training he needs right now, so I can only trouble you."

【ha……】

I knew you were just like Reborn; you never come to me with anything good.

Despite his complaints, Dino did not refuse the request for help.

[Perfect timing, I'm also in Japan today handling some business.]

"Internal affairs of the Cavallone family?"

"...Ah, I guess so."

[It's all because of your recent actions. Some people in the family are starting to get emotional, so I'm here to calm them down.]

"I have no choice but to accept this, you should understand."

Dino naturally understood that the Vongola of today was not what it used to be; in fact, the current Vongola had been greatly corrupted.

Of course I understand.

"So, I'm here to calm things down in the family, aren't I?"

It was precisely because he understood this that he came to the island nation to appease some people's emotions.

The recent expansion of Vongola's operations has undoubtedly frightened some people.

Dino came here to calm some people down, so they wouldn't be too worried about Tsuna's actions.

[Tsuna, where is Kyoya right now?]

“It’s at my house. You can come over quickly. He’s already getting impatient.”

I'll be there soon.

Dino sighed after hanging up the phone.

"Boss, shall we go to Vongola X's house now?"

"Okay, let's go now."

This is the first time Kyoya has ever taken the initiative to go to Tsuna's place.

[I'm still going to find Tsuna to improve my own strength.]

Dino knew Kyoya quite well. Kyoya was extremely arrogant, so much so that he wouldn't actively seek help from anyone just to improve his strength, let alone ask Tsuna for help.

[Kyoya's decision to seek out Tsuna must have been triggered by something.]

Was it because of Tsuna's provocation?

[Was it because of Gokudera and the others' provocation?]

Gokudera and his group displayed astonishing strength at the last succession ceremony.

Yamamoto and Sasakawa also performed well.

Was it because of that one time?

[Or is it because of Tsuna and his friends' performance in the future world?]

Even so, Dino still didn't believe it. He didn't think that Kyoya's heart was so weak that he couldn't even admit such a thing.

[In the future world ten years later, Tsuna and his friends have indeed improved a lot in terms of strength, but it shouldn't be enough to put them so far ahead of Kyoya.]

What exactly triggered Kyoya's reaction?

Dino may have memories of the future ten years from now, but he doesn't actually know much about the power that everyone will have in the future.

"Is there something you can't figure out, Boss?"

"Hmm... there's something I don't quite understand."

"Given Kyoya's personality, why would he even think of asking Tsuna for advice?"

"If Boss can't figure it out, why don't we just ask him when we get to the Vongola X's house?"

"...Romario, some things can't be known just by asking."

If only things were that simple.

[Especially since this happened to Kyoya, who values ​​his pride more than anything else, for him to actively seek out Tsuna would mean abandoning his pride.]

But is that possible for Kyoya?

Chapter 239 Cognitive Gap Determines Achievement Gap

Dino arrived at the Sawada residence very soon.
