The moment the professor said that a perfect warrior could combat a tier 4 warrior at tier 3 and even break the great chasm and fight a god as a peak tier 5 mortal, Max instantly thought of his brother and how he fit the description perfectly.
Everyone aspired to be such a type of warrior, one that was unparalleled within their own tier and could even fight higher tiered opponents.
Max wanted to walk on the path of the perfect warrior, however, the principal himself was stuck on perfecting the third tier for many years, this meant that the difficulty of maxing out stats in each tier increased exponentially with time.
This was a huge red flag for someone who was chasing great power and fast at that, however, to Max who did not have mana, and only relied on stats to improve as a warrior this sounded extremely appealing.
