1263: Scorns

Scorns

"Before I start my explanation, I want to say this. I know that you're doubting my age, knowledge, and experience. However, I just want you to know that I have a skill that allows me to measure the amount of Magic Power in the area. I believe the technology can prove my words later. Feel free to refute my claims later because this is just my spontaneous assumption."1

Isaac pointed at the city and split it with a huge red wall. "The density of Magic Power in the ruined city is roughly ten times the other side. So, I assume that the ruined city has been influenced by the other side… or you can say they're the other side itself.

"When the incident happened, the people were sucked by this red wall where the two different densities met and caused them to be teleported to the other side. However, I have no extensive research about who will be teleported or won't."

Surprisingly, one of them suddenly shouted, cutting in. "So, you made those people go through the disruption without confirming their safety? What will you do if they end up in a worse situation?"

Isaac was annoyed to be interrupted, but he still answered that question. "Of course. I've done a series of tests.

"I run a test one thousand times to go to the other side through this disruption. And the disruption teleported people 478 times out of those one thousand times. On the other hand, when we approached from the opposite side, meaning from the high density to lower density, out of one thousand times, the number the disruption teleported us was… Zero." Isaac narrowed his eyes, glaring at the one that interrupted him.

NotAnIdiot: Damn. How did this guy test that? But thankfully he tested it first. Thanks to him, more than one million people returned to their homes.

NegativeGuy: He's just a maniac. He alone made such a decision? I can't trust a guy who is still sucking their mommie."

Precopine: I bet he doesn't have any degree in his life. Does he think he can rely on his skills for everything?

Due to Isaac's petite body and young age, most people didn't like him even though his analysis managed to save those people. Some professors who watched also started arguing, presenting their arguments. But most of them looked down on Isaac.

"What the heck?" Millie, who was watching the broadcast back home, gritted her teeth. The comments annoyed her. "Without him, no one would even think about returning alive. And what? Because he is young, so he shouldn't do something like this? Then when those one million people died because no one found them or had no idea how to return, who would they blame? Without him, more than a million people would die. Maybe Big Brother Joker shouldn't save them and let those people die."

"Hush. You shouldn't say that." Jeff shook his head. Because Felix was helping Clone Theo, Jeff was the one that protected Millie.

"So what? They're scums." Millie bit her lips. "At first, they were praising us for helping those people, but when they found out about our age, they started scorning us. I'm angry."

"Haha." Jeff chuckled before he looked down with a sad expression. "It can't be helped. Will you trust a young doctor who says that he can cure the disease that no one has ever seen before or will you trust a few old doctors who have been in this area for decades?"

"I'll believe the young one. Big Brother Joker was the one that helped me, not those old people."

"Ahaha, that's your unique experience. But most people will choose the latter. Humans…" Jeff let out a long sigh.

"Whatever." Millie snorted.

While those two were arguing, the question continued. "Do you think you can represent the scientists who have been working hard to examine the situation? What will you do if more people die because of your wrong analysis?"

Isaac's expression was already devoid of emotion as he stated, "I can't represent anyone. However, I have done enough tests to prove my own theory for the minimum safety measure.

"If I didn't make that decision, all those one million people would have died from starvation and dehydration because they needed to wait for the scientists to say it's safe a week, a month, or even a year later.

"You may condemn me or whatever. But I don't care about it anymore. Even if everyone says I shouldn't be a scientist anymore and won't take my words seriously anymore, I don't mind because I know that some people will still accept my opinions. And those people saved more than a million lives today."

Even Rea was gnashing her teeth, annoyed by their response. She could understand the discrimination, but Isaac nonetheless saved those people.

Knowing that Isaac should stop right now, Rea stood up and replaced him while patting his shoulder as if telling him that it was alright.

Rea took a deep breath and stated with a solemn tone. "I don't know if you have seen this, but you may want to look at the strongest person on Earth… If you haven't, then I can show you here."

Rea pointed at the Skylink and changed the image into the Time God's Skypost.

"By the way, I just used my Time Power to peek into future possibilities. Out of one thousand futures, 200 of them result in those people getting saved. However, 166 of them are thanks to a young genius' decision. Without him, I can say for certain that those one million people would have died."

Rea then delivered the killing blow by saying, "If you take a look at the date and time, you'll know that the Time God posted this a few hours before the rescue operations. Do you think he can predict the number or the young genius… Isaac correctly? Alright, I know that you don't like a paranormal power like this, but at the same time, please don't forget that this phenomenon can't be explained by science alone."
