"The fact that they became so powerful on their own is very hard to believe," IQ120 said.
"It really is. Maybe they got help," I replied.
"It is a possibility, but I doubt it. If they saw potential in the humas, then…" IQ120 trailed off.
I scoffed. "What potential? Their ability to torture other creatures?" I replied sarcastically.
"No, fool. Their ability to gather information," IQ120 explained.
I didn't reply, as I thought about the humas' ability to gather information.
"They have the ability to gather information?" I asked doubtfully. The only ability I could believe the humas had was the ability to torment others.
"How young are you? Seventy-five?" IQ120 asked.
"I don't see a reason to tell you," I replied.
"Okay, okay. Were you around during the era of Delish, or were you not born yet?"
"I don't know about this era of Delish you're talking about, but what a stupid name to name an entire era," I told him. I find the name stupid.
"Whatever, the fact you don't even know is that you were born far after the era. Those who came after were constantly bragged to and insulted for coming late," he said.
"The era was probably the most beautiful and unique era in the entire history of all categories. It is called the happiest time for most Hokori, by the strongest category, which shows that even the they enjoy the era.
The only ones who weren't happy were the Humas. They were the reason for the joy of that era, suddenly or maybe not, they star-"
"Is this going to be a long story?" I interrupted.
"I'm not sure, it may or may not be long," he replied.
"You said 'maybe not,' how can you be sure? Did you witness their transformation?"
"No, it's just that I've noticed that nothing happens suddenly. There is always something that causes a change, and whether the change occurs spontaneously or gradually, it all takes time in the end.
They started seeking knowledge with an almost addictive obsession. They would do anything for even the most trivial piece of information. Despite being deceived and killed multiple times, they still accepted it. Some managed to escape, but it didn't deter their insane enthusiasm. They continued to be killed, haunted, and deceived.
We all discovered that their flesh tasted exquisite and unique, and the higher category became aware of this. They placed bounties on their meat, and the Humas even offered themselves up to be eaten in exchange for knowledge. After a hundred years, they suddenly started vanishing. All the Humas who willingly offered themselves to produce more of their kind for consumption disappeared. Entire groups of Humas continued to vanish after a few more decades. They had become extremely rare to find, and…
You know, there were times when people would see them and try to attack or hunt them, but guess what? Those people were the ones who ended up being ripped apart. The ones who managed to escape didn't do so because they were capable of escaping; it was simply because they were allowed to leave.
Nowadays, you can never find a Humas alone. If you ever come across a single Humas, run or be on high alert because there are more of them around. However, I don't think that will matter anymore considering how powerful they have become."
