Anyone who received his tutelage should follow a unique and exciting path. This was why he tried his best to help his students develop in more creative directions.

As Ves listened to Maikel and Zanthar elaborate on how they had narrowed down their studies to their chosen specialties, he felt that the young men weren't quite there yet. Their ambitions weren't small, but they were still a distance away from setting unique and original goals.
