When he realizes he knows nothing, The ninja is ready to learn everything.
Those words repeated it Randy's mind long after he was out of The Nomcion and laying in bed.
"But...what about what The Sorcerer has taught me?" He mumbled to himself. He'd learned many things The Nomicon had failed to tell him, like The Sorcerer's life force being bound to him.
The Sorcerer gave him straight forward explanations and made him feel comfortable being The Ninja.
He looked at The Nomicon. Sure, it had helped him a lot, but it never listened to him about The Sorcerer. Randy figured it was just hostile from 800 years of believing The Sorcerer was bad, but it couldn't even accept it was wrong. And what about that knowledge thing it talked about every other day?
"N-Nomicon?"
It glowed in response to it's name.
"Can I ask you something?"
It glowed once, gently.
"Well, sometimes you tell me about pain and knowledge, and curio-"
Curiosity may give you the knowledge you seek, but it can also cause great pain.
"Yeah, that." Randy said. "I thought I knew what it meant once, but now I'm confused. How can I have knowledge that causes me great pain if the only knowledge I possess is that I possess none?"
Some knowledge should not be possessed by anyone
"But, The Sorcerer-"
ANYONE
"What about The Sorcerer's life force being linked to The Ninja? Shouldn't I know that?"
The Nomicon glowed angrily.
A student does not question the teacher
Randy frowned and set The Nomicon down.
He looked at his and Howard's paper and smiled.
"C...I bet The Sorcerer will be proud of me."
