"What?! Why?! You are the most talented swordsman I've ever met!"
Before Zorak could even say anything, Arkham jumped in on the conversation with an exasperated tone.
"Hmm… Well, it's what I want to do, but even if I didn't, I have no choice but to walk this path."
Xavier replied with a helpless smile, but Arkham was not satisfied with this answer. He bore his gaze into Xavier, who sighed and explained,
"It's my Innate Gift. I can't progress on one path without the other. Both my sword and magic mastery must be equal for me to progress.
If it was up to me, I would've initiated and progressed my warrior path while learning a few tidbits of magic. But my magic cannot fall behind my sword."
Arkham leaned back and sighed,
"Ah, what a waste. You could've gone to surreal heights if you were able to devote yourself to the sword."
