The Supreme Sovereign System Chapter 173

"Meta… what?"
"Any idea what they are talking about?"
"Not in the slightest, it sounds deep though"
"Let's heard some more, who knows, maybe we can get a glitch of what the hell they are talking about"
A lot of people were interested in what Socrates and Alfonso were talking about, of course, they were only curious at the best, however, those who understand what they were talking about were speechless.
For example, the young lord of the Hauss family, Dalton.
"A separate world where concepts exist? What the… that… that is preposterous!" Though Dalton.
Dalton forgot about his previous injuries and listened carefully.
"Metaphysic world? Another world? Hmph! Young man, you are being disrespectful to Academia, just because you can't prove a concept, that doesn't mean that it doesn't exist in this realm, we just need to analyze further! It might take years, but! We will reach it eventually" Said Socrates.
Alfonso looked at Socrates for some time before smiling.
"Impossible huh… I disagree" Said Alfonso.
"You are being stubborn, young man!" Asked Socrates.
"Ho? Stubborn huh, well let's make a hypothesis, lets follow the Academia, if what you say its true, then we have to assume that, there is, in fact, a solid denomination of justice, that we, somehow, see the whole picture, then, for whatever reason, we don't know the actual meaning of the word, however! We can assume that all follow the same "justice", after all, we all know the true justice, the problem is, we can't put in words what it means right?" Said Alfonso.
"True" Said Socrates.
"Then, a little friend over there," Said Alfonso while looking at Dalton.
"Y-yes?" Said Dalton.
"If someone robs you, what will be a suitable punishment?" Asked Alfonso.
"I-I think that thirty whips would be enough" Said Dalton.

"Do you agree, young lady?" Asked Alfonso to Tili.
"Yes" Answered Tili.
"What about you, friend?" Asked Alfonso to Socrates.
"I also agree" Said Socrates.
"Ok, now let's add something else, just as this thief rob you, you followed him with your guards to punish him when you got in his or her house, you see that he or she has one ill son and he rob you to buy medicine, what will you do?" Asked Alfonso.
"I-I think I will forgive the thief, after all, it was for his or her fami-"
"What are you saying brother? No matter the circumstances, a thief is a thief, he must be punished!"
"I think that we could reduce the punishment and offer a job or something else…"
After hearing the three answers, Alfonso didn't say anything, he just looked at Socrates.
Socrates though for some time before realizing the problem!
"The core of the idea is different!" Said Socrates.
"Exactly" Said Alfonso
"No matter how far we are from the original source, if even the nucleus of the idea is different, then, you can't say that we actually know the meaning of something, they are all part of the same yes, however, the principals that they are based on are entirely different, it variates from person to person, that's why, if you want to say that the meaning exists in this world, then… you have at least 2 billion answers to analyze" Said Alfonso.
Socrates was shocked by this answer, Dalton even more!
"Since when Alfonso had the time to study such profundity on philosophy?" Though Artemis.
"An intellectual Alfonso…. I like it~" Though Demeter.
"Dad is super-duper hot right now, there is nothing more attractive than a smart person, well, I wouldn't expect less from MY dad" Though Susana.

"The hell he is talking about, justice is justice, right? Why they are giving so many rounds in such a simple word?" Though Antiope.
"His Highness was this good in Academia!? As expected of the man I follow" Though Ribeiro with pride.
"…" Io didn't think anything in particular.
"But… but still, how did you reach the conclusion of another world, I… I don't get it" Said Socrates.
"That's another question, let's follow academia once again, let's assume that there is, in fact, a word were the concepts of Justice, Love, etc.. are there, then, what do we see here in this world then? Well , what we actually see is a projection of the concepts, that's why we have a notion of the concept, we know that it exists, however, we can't see it in its totality, that also explains why people see it differently, let's do a little experiment, little boy, come here, sit here" Said Alfonso to Dalton.
Dalton walk and sat on the platform, Alfonso walked and stood five steps behind Dalton.
"Young man, do you see my shadow?" Said Alfonso to Dalton.
"Ye-yes"
"Then, how would you describe me if you see could only see my shadow?" Asked Alfonso.
"W-well, I will say you are an average tall man with short hair… nothing else I guess" Said Dalton.
"Good, now, Young Lady, come here, sit here" Said Alfonso.
"Ok"
Tili did the same as Dalton however, Alfonso stood two steps behind her this time.
"Ok, Now, The same question young lady" Said Alfonso.
"I will say that you are tall…long haired man… what?" Said Tili confused.
She turned around and saw that Alfonso was putting his arms close to his head and stretching both arms while keeping the hands close to his head, making the illusion that he has long hair.
"Surprise~" Said Alfonso.
"Wow" Said Tili with stars on her eyes.
"You see?, my friend, even a small change would completely alter my image, like this, my actions represent the circumstances and I represent the concept, just a small change in the circumstances can alter the image that we see, why? Because we only see a projection, we can't see the whole picture" Said Alfonso.
Socrates Analyzed for a long time, three to five minutes, everyone was in silence, even Dalton was stupefied by this sudden development.
"Hey dad, uncle is like, super smart right!?" Murmured Little Pit.
"A genius…" Though Taylor.
Socrates finally made a small sigh and then smiled he stretched his hand and say
"It's my lost, Let discuss more in the future!"
"With pleasure," Said Alfonso while shaking his hand.

A Cleric's Life for me.
This is a casually written story loosely based on TTRPG games like DnD and Pathfinder. The attempt of the story is to have a slow growth in power and comical set of characters who eventually grow close and set off for more serious adventures. There will be plenty of familiars and funny tales that don't involve combat. The intention is not to be a goody-two-shoes cleric story where nothing bad happens. The intention for this story was a slow paced grungy story where everything seemed great at first and things just kept getting worse. I learned how shitty of a story that is to write and honestly I am just not good enough to get the idea down. I plan on revisiting it later.
