My Master Is A Tsundere

Black lines appeared on Rant Valo's forehead. Just when he's thinking that she's fun to talk with. She destroys the goodwill he formed.

"Who would see a brat like you as their Master?"

That was what Rant Valo was supposed to say, but he didn't dare say it out loud. He already looks like a beggar with all the beating he has suffered.

"In the Sword Path, there are also 5 Major Cultivation Stages. These are the Sword Apprentice, Enlightened Sword, Heart Formulating, Sword Spirit, and Blade Dominion. These stages are equivalent to the 5 Major Cultivation Stages for the Magic Path"

Floriana Sabina explained while swinging her hands like she was holding the sword.

"Why have I never heard of this?"

Rant Valo was confused. If the Sword Path is also a Major Cultivation Path then why has he never heard of their cultivation levels before?

"That's because this is the Beslor Magic Kingdom"

Currently, they are inside the rural part of the Beslor Magic Kingdom. It is a kingdom that rules over 12 Dukedoms. The king was said to be a Peak Nascent Soul stage cultivator. It is said that this kingdom is the most powerful in the region.

"What does that have to do with it?"

There were question marks on Rant Valo's head.

"Look, the 'Magic' in the Beslor Magic Kingdom means that they chose the Magic Path. That is the reason why the Magic Path is known by the populace more than the Sword Path"

Rant Valo was enlightened. He thought about all he knew was related to the Magic Path. There are only few things he knows in the Sword Path.

"There's a river over there!"

Rant Valo ran towards the river crossing the road. The water was crystal clear and fish can be seen swimming against the flow of water.

"Disciple, what are you doing?"

Floriana Sabina was following Rant Valo closely and he suddenly ran forward. She suddenly got curious when she saw him looking at the water intently.

Floriana Sabina crouched beside the river and looked over at the silver fishes. The fishes swam towards her. Their mouths opening and closing.

"Hungry?"

Floriana Sabina smiled at the fishes. Her cute innocent expression gave off a heavenly charm.

"How can I eat the fishes when she's being so caring for the— not. She just swiped her hands and all of the fishes were thrown towards the dry ground," was what Rant Valo thought.

Rant Valo was paying close attention to Floriana Sabina's every movement. She's an enigma for him. His guess was that she is a 10th Mana Condensation stage cultivator.

"With that power, she can kill me 100 times over without me realizing"

Rant Valo sighed in depression. His curse even attracted an expert.

"Here!"

Floriana Sabina carried all of the fishes in her arms. They were big and still flopping around. Though they couldn't escape Floriana Sabina's grasp.

"It's not like I got it because I'm hungry!"

Floriana Sabina snorted and looked away.

Growl~~~~

When she did, her stomach created an audible growl. Her face turned red from embarrassment.

"I- That was not me!"

Floriana Sabina dropped all of the fish on the floor and ran away. She hid behind a tree and covered her blushing face.

"Why did I mess up on my first time leaving the Sect? I even embarrassed myself in front of my first disciple. Uuuuuuu"

Floriana Sabina was in a dilemma. She has always been stuck inside the Sect, cultivating. She never interacted with people outside. Now her first interaction was an embarrassment.

"Wait, should I just kill him?"

A dangerous glint flashed in Floriana Sabina's eyes. She looked at Rant Valo who was beside the river.

Rant Valo was gutting the fish when he suddenly felt a chill on his back. It was particularly cold on his neck.

He looked behind him and saw nothing but trees. He sighed in relief realizing that it was only his imagination.

Rant Valo continued gutting the fishes. In total there are 7 fishes. He gutted them one by one and let their guts flow to the river.

"Disciple, how are you so good at doing this?"

Floriana Sabina looked at Rant Valo's skillful movements and couldn't help but praise him.

"I was always left alone in the village so I had to prepare my own food"

Rant Valo answered in a low tone. He didn't feel comfortable talking about his past.

"Hehhh~, Do you want me to help you?"

Rant Valo looked at Floriana Sabina in shock. It was as if he just saw a ghost.

"W-what's with that look?"

Floriana Sabina saw Rant Valo looking at her oddly and couldn't help but feel unease.

"Nothing. It was just the first time someone helped me prepare food"

Rant Valo moved a little from the rock he was sitting on. This opened a space for Floriana Sabina to sit beside him.

"Hmph! It's not like I'm doing this because you look pitiful or anything!"

Floriana Sabina sat beside Rant Valo and snorted. She picked up a fish that was not gutted yet.

Floriana Sabina observed Rant Valo gut the fish. She took notice of how he guts the fish.

Floriana Sabina started gutting the fish in her hands. It was still alive so it was wriggling in her hands.

A small blue knife appeared on her hands and she started to remove the gills. Poke, Push, Scrape. Nothing came out when she tried to remove the gills.

"Eh?"

Floriana Sabina looked at the fish in her hands at the five fishes Rant Valo has already gutted. They look the same yet why was it so hard?

Floriana Sabina continued observing Rant Valo. She paid careful attention when Rant Valo removed the gills of the sixth fish. Rant Valo poked the gills, pushed his knife in, and scraped the gills out.

"Ehh?"

Floriana Sabina was even more confused. She didn't know why it worked for Rant Valo yet it didn't work for her.

"Hmm? What are you looking at?"

Rant Valo saw Floriana Sabina looking at his hands and couldn't help but be confused.

"Hmph! I realized that gutting fish is unbefitting as your Master. Gut this fish yourself!"
