44. Uh, huh?

“Master.”

“Come here quickly. I will do it myself.”

Thinking about it, there were not only one or two strange things.

When and where did it start?

I felt an eerie aura that gave me goosebumps.

I wondered if I was mistaken because the moment I realized it, everything quickly disappeared.

If I could feel the aura of hostility towards us, I would have set out to find it.

But I’m not wary, and I’m not aiming for an opening here.

On the contrary, when it was revealed, it was startled and disappeared repeatedly.

“What the hell are you doing here?”

Now I know why.

Since he was the owner of the energy, he felt familiar even though he was nervous.

And he wasn’t particularly hostile toward me.

“… Why is that? You look like you’ve come to a place I can’t come to.”

A red light shimmers at the tips of her jet-black hair.

The eyes looking at me are like jewels dripping with blood.

Coldness and hotness coexisted in her ageless beauty.

To my master, who would normally be staying at his residence.

I asked a question to the Heavenly Demon, who used to be called Kangho, who ruled the other world.

“Have you been Master until now?”

“That means that he noticed the energy several times. Did you still not find it?”

“… That’s my mistake, so I have nothing to say.”

Originally, it was right to pursue.

But I don’t even know who the opponent is, but Iris is with me.

Or it was too awkward to walk around.

Wouldn’t it be better if the enemy appeared in front of me and challenged me to fight?

Anyway, if there’s something I need to do, I’ll show up.

While thinking that, I tried to focus on going to Iris for now.

As a result, that judgment was correct.

I really didn’t know that the true identity was Master.

“Isn’t he the one who hated going out so much?”

I used to go down to the city when I was bored even after living in the mountains.

It’s fun to see people, buy some necessities, and see and hear the news of the world.

But Master wasn’t interested in that at all.

It’s living. I’ll take care of everything.

After all, you are a ‘person’, so you may be curious about other people’s appearances.

He cut off the exchange itself, saying he had no interest in such things.

The only ones allowed by Master are me and my disciples.

That’s why he hates to go out into the world or mix with it.

“I didn’t expect Master to go out like this.”

“Let’s call it a momentary whim. It’s nothing. If you get tired of it soon, you can go back.”

After saying that, Master approaches Iris again.

“Master? What are you trying to do now… ?”

“Don’t you know when you see it?”

“Isn’t it because you don’t know because you see it?”

“… The disciple is trying to lighten the effort.”

“You mean my hard work?”

“Yes. Hitting this disobedient disciple on the head is also work. So this master is saying that he will do something for his disciple.”

Looks like Iris really doesn’t like the ring on her ring finger.

Her fists are clenched, and I can feel her determination to hit this guy.

At first glance, it looks like a small fist of a delicate woman.

I assure you, with one hit from that fist, a normal person will just lose their head.

If Master strikes with ‘seriousness’, my head won’t be unscathed.

“Whoops!”

Iris is startled, and she hurriedly hides behind me.

It’s not anyone else, it’s his Grand Master, my master, and the Heavenly Demon.

He is such a terrifying person that he fainted Garam with a single blow.

If you think that such a person is going to have a good night, if that person is Iris.

I’m sure there will be a hole in Iris’s head.

Iris knew that too, so she hid behind her like this.

“Master. Even if you don’t like my student, you shouldn’t harm him.”

“What does it mean to harm? Like you, I’m just about to hit her on the head a few times.”

“This disciple has to do it. Isn’t it the teacher’s job to discipline his disciples?”

“You can substitute Taesabu. Isn’t it?”

Strangely today, Master is not backing down.

Originally, at this point, he would be the kind of person who would quietly quit.

Gaze at Master for a long time, meaning “Are you serious?”

Master glanced at me as if he felt my gaze.

After that, he sighed and said, “Whew.”

“Hyunah.”

“Yes, Master.”

“Follow me.”

“Yes?”

“Let’s have some sparring with this teacher after a long time.”

… Wait for a sec. This isn’t it.

Why are you suddenly suggesting sparring?

“Master. Are you angry….”

“I clearly told you to follow me.”

After saying that, Master turned away quickly.

In the end, they follow him without bending his will.

After walking for some time, I came across a wide empty lot, and I felt something strange.

There is not a single blade of grass, and the surrounding vegetation is a mess as if it has been swept away by something.

It’s as if this clearing wasn’t created naturally.

I felt like it was artificially created by someone.

“No way, no. Master?”

“My disciple was so upset that I relieved my anger. Thanks to you, this vacant lot was created, so it was a benefit.”

“….”

When the hell did you do such a dreadful thing?

The legs of the apprentice standing in front are shaking.

“Are you sure you want to?”

“If you don’t intend to come in first, I will go.”

That’s not going to happen.

If you give up even the first gong to Master, you will be beaten for a while.

“Iris. Step back. As much as possible. This would be really dangerous.”

“Ah… yes!”

Iris turns around and busily moves her legs.

After confirming that he was far away, I drew out the sword given to me by my master.

Although it’s a bit strange to treat Master with Master’s sword.

Since the opponent is the opponent, there was no time for arguing about something.

“That sword was drawn.”

It seems that he was nearby when fighting the demon twins.

I wonder if he didn’t even notice that, while thinking.

After drawing his sword, he lowered his line of sight like a thunderbolt.

Tooung!-

“It was unexpected. I never thought you would show up so openly.”

It wasn’t a blow with all one’s strength, but it was a powerful attack nonetheless.

As expected, Master deflected my sword strikes as if driving away flies.

Without any weapons, only with one hand.

“What kind of change of heart did you have? Didn’t you tell yourself you wouldn’t come forward?”

“… Not a change of heart, but a change of circumstances. Master.”

Concentrate energy with the tip of the sword while kicking the ground.

Is it a stab or a slash? I ask the question like that.

Hide this sword as much as possible and close the distance with the master.

“Was it serious enough to give you such a change?”

Blue sword energy radiates from Master’s fingertips.

In an instant, it stretches to a length almost equal to the length of the sword I am holding.

I’m serious, he really wants to fight me right now.

The moment I reached that point, the muscles in my whole body pulled.

My body instinctively expressed my hostility towards the other person.

Kwajik!-

At the last moment, I slightly changed my trajectory and aimed for a gap.

However, Master leisurely blocked it without changing a single expression on his face.

“Good. To use watering right away without halfway.”

“How many times have you been beaten to death by Master while halfway there?”

“Eomsal-eun. I’ve never been beaten to death like that.”

As expected, it is correct to say that only the person who was hit remembers, and the person who hit does not remember.

How many times have I been beaten by a weak person for being rude while being polite in Dalian for being a teacher?

After that, if not at other times, it was defined as an obvious ‘enemy’ in Dalian.

If I can’t overcome, I will die. If I can’t overcome, I will fall down.

“Tell me. Disciple what happened?”

“Didn’t you see everything already?”

“Yes. I saw. Those with a disgusting smell who can fight your disciples.”

“….”

“And even the one that even I can’t figure out the end to. It was great.”

It seems that you noticed the existence of the fragment of the Demon God.

You don’t know that you can’t even touch it because of the restrictions placed on you.

It was fortunate to see that people recognized me as a strong being.

You don’t know what to do and run into it.

“Your disciples have to overcome. Are they the ones you wanted to overcome?”

Kwaang!-

The moment Master’s hand gently bends.

The energy that he dare not resist strikes his whole body as it is.

Originally, it would be better to face it and overcome it.

The opponent is not an enemy, but a teacher, so there is no need to do that.

You just need to be greeted appropriately, and when you feel weak, step back appropriately.

As I regained my balance and gazed forward, Master came right in front of me.

“You said you wouldn’t stay behind.”

“Yes.”

“If it is allowed, I will follow.”

“Yes?”

“What kind of master said that his pupils were fighting while they closed their eyes?”

Master’s eyes are gently curved as he looks at me.

I was a bit taken aback by those eyes that only occasionally showed to me.

Rather than that, it was more important to make Master bend his will.

“Master. That….”

“Did you say that you, too, have revealed everything that only this teacher can’t do?”

“There are some circumstances about that part. Just listen to me….”

“I have no intention of overlooking the things that are hostile to the disciples of this body.”

Was Master such an active person?

I think about it here and there, but there is only one conclusion.

The master I know is that he is not the kind of person to do that.

It is said that a strong man who has reached the end of the sky naturally cuts off his interest in the world.

For whatever reason, it eventually loses interest.

My teacher was in a similar situation.

He didn’t care how the world went.

He just paid attention to the creek that runs near your place.

If demons or monsters appear around you and bother you, then he sorted them out.

Otherwise he’s a master who never moved.

“No. Master. Master, don’t step out.”

If he works together, he will become as reliable an ally as his disciples to me.

But conversely, there is one more thing to pay attention to.

Above all, unlike disciples who can deal with fragments of demons.

No matter how strong Master is, he cannot resist the fragments of demons.

I know I can’t fight the demon fragments on my own.

Thanks to that, I have the thought of losing at any time after fighting properly.

But Master is completely unaware of that fact.

Even if I explained the fact, what if Master asked ‘Why?’

I can’t figure out how to answer that.

How do you know that? How can you be so sure?

If you ask that question, you can’t just say, ‘Because you’re a user.’

“Why did you say no? I need to hear the answer.”

Pass-.

The sword energy in Master’s hand emits a deeper light.

If you don’t like the answer, I wonder if it’s an auditory hallucination to be told to prepare.

“… Master.”

“Why the main position?”

“Because Master is very important to me.”

Right after the answer containing various meanings left my mouth.

“… Uh, huh?”

Master’s sword spirit suddenly began to fade.
