Izan and Defying were silent as they flew towards the direction where they felt Calypso"s aura came from. And the reason Hisoka was silent was that he was still unconscious.Defying kept gazing at Izan, her eyes were showing a hint of confusion from time to time.
"You know, I can literally "hear" you staring at me." Izan teased Defying in a carefree tone before he continued speaking a tad bit more serious. "Tell me what is on your mind, Defying."
"Master, I have noticed something which I am wondering about as I can"t seem to figure it out by myself." Defying began speaking seriously, and when she saw Izan nodding, she continued speaking with a slightly serious expression. "I have noticed that people, and even your wives, are hesitating. But you are not, why is that?"
Izan raised an eyebrow slightly as he questioned back in confusion. "What do you mean by that, Defying? Are you speaking about determination? Can you explain it to me?"
"I think so, but I am not sure." Defying responded before seriously thinking for a few moments before she finally began speaking. ""They" usually make a backup plan whilst moving forward, but from seeing your actions, you have never done that. Why?"
"Ah…" Izan finally figured out what Defying was trying to ask him about, a small smile appeared on his face before he began explaining. "Defying, do you know that most people don"t know what they want in their lives? That doesn"t always mean they don"t have the determination to reach what they want to obtain. But in most cases, it means that that individual doesn"t have a goal to reach for. And if they do have a goal, they are afraid of failure, that is why they make a backup plan. Because they want a safety-net, to keep them safe if anything backfires to their original plan." Izan was carefully trying to explain.
"But why don"t you have a backup plan? Are you not afraid of failing? Don"t you need a safety-net?" Defying asked three questions rapidly back to back.
Izan shook his head and nodding afterwards. "I am of course afraid of failure, who isn"t?" Izan closed his eyes, a sad smile appeared on his face as a tear slithered down his left cheek. But only a moment later, Izan"s facial expression turned calm, and when Izan opened his eyelids, his eyes were resolute. "But for me to reach my goal, I don"t have time to build a safety-net, for every moment I think of anything other than my original plan, the less chance I have to successfully achieve my goal."
"Haah." Izan let out a small sigh before continuing. "A backup plan, a safety-net wouldn"t help me if I can"t achieve my goal. Which why I spend most of my time going straight forward, not thinking about any other things. Because, for me to reach my goal, I will need to use all of my energy on getting there. For each thought I give it, I will be a step closer to it. For every time I become stronger, I will be a step nearer where I want to stand at."
Both Defying and Izan went silent after that, Izan kept his gaze towards the horizon whilst Defying was still staring at Izan.
A few dozen seconds went by before Defying finally spoke out and broke the silence. "Master, I think I understand now." Defying"s tone wasn"t emotionless this time, there was a hint of eagerness in her voice.
After that, they went silent once again. Hisoka had woken up from his consciousness when they first began speaking, and he had kept himself silent throughout the whole conversation. Hisoka was slowly starting to better understand Izan, and the girl; Defying that was always calling Izan as "Master". And for some reason, Hisoka was feeling both sorrow and desire after hearing Izan speaking about wanting to achieve his goals, to the point he didn"t have time to give any thought to make a backup plan.
Because Hisoka has always had a backup plan even whilst going against the strongest people in the world. This trip to the Dark Continent was his safety-net, as he would have risen sooner or later and become stronger, so strong that no one could claim his life. Especially that group that was hunting him.
"Hisoka, you better open your eyes, as we"re reaching our destination." Izan said whilst glancing at Hisoka for only a brief moment.
Hisoka opened his eyes and then stood straight whilst flying, he wasn"t smiling nor was he angry, he only had a thoughtful expression, looking forward in a daze.
Izan saw something in the horizon, seemingly a group of a few people flying towards him. He could already guess that Calypso was helping his wives so that they could meet in the middle. A small smile appeared on Izan"s face at the thought of meeting his wives once again as he didn"t have too much time to spend with them before they were sent to this world and when they arrived, Izan went on his way with Defying.
Only a few seconds pa.s.sed by before Izan could see his wives with the addition of a small red bird flying towards him. He could see Robin in the front with Hanc.o.c.k, and behind the two of them were Jiutian and Nojiko, and behind the two of them were Shirahoshi, Perona and Calypso.
A gentle smile appeared on Izan"s face as he flew even faster towards them, not even two seconds pa.s.sed by before Izan swept away Hanc.o.c.k into a hug. And not a second later, Izan felt he was getting hugged from all around.
Whilst Izan, Hanc.o.c.k, Perona and Shirahoshi were hugging each other. Defying, Jiutian, Calypso and Hisoka were looking at them. Both Jiutian and Calypso were putting Hisoka in the corner of their eyes, not sure why someone new should be here, but they didn"t say anything as they feel that Izan was supporting his body with his Law of Gravity which means that Izan wants him to be here.
