Being the first to perfect something is a weird place to be. You put in all the work, learning through painful effort how to make adjustments for efficiency or potency just to watch someone come along and build off the platform you've made without the same struggle. You might feel like you're the pinnacle of your field and you very well might be for that moment. Hard to swallow that your pinnacle just became the foundation everyone is going to build on.
Essentially Zenon is merely standing upon the "shoulders of (many) giants".

I do really hate this kind of talented people. Doing something amazing with minimal effort while the other people breaking muscle and bones before they able to do the same.

The theme of the story (and the OGstory too) seems to be "hard work can't beat natural talent", with the way the emphasize how hard the losers work despite being effortlessly beaten by those who just have absurd natural gifts. Definitely an...interesting...reversal of the normal trope.

I do know that "hard work itself cant beat natural talent" Cause i already experiences it first hand in my life no matter how hard i try, i cant even got close enough to catch up with someone who have natural talent.
