"Calculating, huh? I see," Compass Carburettor muttered upon hearing their discussion from the training hall. He had concentrated on his senses to hear them talk, immediately able to get a complete picture based on their conversation.
Indeed, now that he thought about it, he had glossed over one primary detail of human nature—Ignorance!
One of the oldest quotes on earth was that 'Ignorance was bliss.'
It was meant derogatorily but if thought further, it also had other implications. If a human were to know everything there exists, would they be wise?
Probably not.
There was innocence that streamed from ignorance. A businessman took advantage of that ignorance and cunningly harnessed that innocence to value. Was he called wise? Nope. They were typically referred to as hyenas.
To a normal human, innocence was an appreciable trait. And if someone was ignorant, people were willing to correct their ignorance and teach them things.
