Parth’s question caught Sam off guard.
That was the last thing he ever expected.
"You want to take in as your student?"
"Yes."
"But why? We have barely known each for a few days. You have no idea what kind of person I am. Why would you want a student like ?"
"How many days does a person need to know about soone?
In these few days, I know that you are a person of great talent and potential. Yet, you are also the sa man, who picked a fight everyone deed impossible.
You made sothing that shouldn’t have happened at all, by going against the laws of nature, with your wits.
And most importantly, when I see, I don’t see a person who lants their position as an underdog. You are never a victim, you are never going to feel helpless and you are never going to feel weak, despite the fact.
A man with a wicked heart and crooked mind, wouldn’t be able to hold themselves in such an esteem. That alone is enough for to consider you."
"What would you like to teach ? Your archery?"
"Everything. Everything that I know.
To be honest, I have a very selfish motive for doing this. For so reason, my instincts are telling that I might not stay on this planet for too long. Maybe a decade or two, or maybe even a less. But I know my presence on this planet has beco redundant.
Despite the seals placed on this planet, I am sure the fate would push out of here. Before that happens, I want to fulfil, one of my duties... which is to beco a teacher and pass on my learnings to next generation."
"But I don’t belong to your planet. Even if I ca for conquest, I don’t plan on staying here for long. I would leave sooner or later."
"It doesn’t matter. You are my junior in the seniority of our cultivation. That’s all that matters. I am not going to force you. If you don’t want to be my student, then it is fine. You can take your ti and make a decision."
"Thank you."
That’s all Sam could say.
To be honest, this is the first ti, Sam couldn’t think of a reason to refuse a person’s teaching. Sam had been a part of quite a few institutions since he ca to this world, but he never took a formal teacher.
He always had reasons. Most of them based on the teacher’s skill and character.
However, this ti, he knew Parth is highly esteed in both.
And when he saw the way Parth practiced his bow... Sam indeed wanted to learn it.
As he was thinking, Parth suddenly got a faint frown on his face.
"It seems like the guests I had been expecting arrived. Let’s go and greet them."
Sam was confused for a mont. Parth just picked him up and they reappeared at the village center within a fraction of the second.
At the village center, a group of people arrived. So of them are familiar faces that Sam recognized and the others he wasn’t familiar with.
But he can guess who they are.
They are all the younger generation of the factions of Darkhan.
Sam even saw Atrocus who had a gloomy and depressed expression on his face. Seems like the previous defeat did give him a harsh reality check.
"You are right on ti."
Parth muttered as he looked at the bunch.
They all bowed to him imdiately.
"Greetings, Lord Parth."
"No need for the formalities. The exchange center is that way. You can go and check it."
They all nodded and left, but not without giving a sweeping glance at Sam.
"No matter how many tis I co here... this place still feels so refreshing." One of the kids spoke. Among all of them, only he had a much more relaxed gait. The rest of them appeared reserved.
Sam rembered that guy. He was the one who stood right next to the man nad Shin, who was also another powerhouse.
Sam and Parth followed slowly.
By the ti kids are there, Yudhi already cleared the exchange center. He was waiting for them, along with Naka and Saha. Surprisingly, even Bloody Chariot was there.
He was actually scrolling through one of the systems, with his face darkening with every scroll.
"Welco, kids. Go ahead and use it to your hearts content."
Yudhi, being the gentleman he is, welcod these guys casually.
"Thank you, Uncle." That leisurely kid didn’t even show a hint of reservation and just entered.
He looked at Bloody Chariot up and down, sizing him up, before he picked another system.
The rest of the kids went in and started fiddling.
"They are testing this stuff?" Sam asked in amusent.
"Yes, despite the agreent, they are skeptical about how your exchange system works. Based on this they will decide, where you can build the system within their territory."
"Then, why were you not skeptical about it? You just let build one right next to your ho?"
"I am a Demi God Sam. If I can’t risk sothing as trivial as location of a system like this, in my own backyard, particularly when it is built by soone so weaker than ...
No matter what the risk it could pose, I should be able to overco it. If it still happens, then I truly deserve it.
What’s the point of craving and begging for godhood, if you can’t have the dignity and courage of one and just whine in your cowardice?"
Parth didn’t hold back when he spoke.
His words were loud and clear. All the people present heard them. The kids who heard their seniors being called cowards right in front of them... felt the second hand embarrassnt burning up their faces.
But they acted like they didn’t even hear it and just checked the system.
Once they did... within fifteen minutes the real action began.
