0:00.0	Pickax.
0:05.0	The great thing about potential is it has no concept of time.
0:10.0	It doesn't care what day it is or how old you are.
0:14.0	It doesn't care where you're from or what you used to do.
0:17.0	It simply waits patiently. For the day you decide to use it.
0:23.6	So go on.
0:24.6	See how a training course like skills boot camps or essential skills can help you make the most of your potential.

1:50.0	monsters to attack the living. During this briefing, Xanthius stepped away for a moment and
1:55.1	attempted to communicate with Sovereign, to bargain with them, but to do so had to disable
2:00.8	the protective ruins around his chest
