"You told me your race only reaches platinum and that dragons are powerful diamond beasts beyond comparison, right? Do you just accept being below them in the pecking order? You should not surrender yourself to fate! Fight against it! No matter if you are facing dragons, phoenixes, or any other natural diamond beast. They are lazy, just as you were. Every day you are improving yourself, and they are not, is a day you will be closing the gap."
Indeed, they had been training for only three months, and already there has been a substantial change. Innate diamond beasts were even lazier than most platinum races, often hibernating for hundreds of years. They would wake up considerably more powerful, and there would be no ceiling to their strength. What would happen if they instead trained? How much progress could be made in that time, how many skills developed and perfected?
