187 Grandmaster (2/2)

”Are you really the old geezer's Master?”

As expected of the wisp who doesn't care about status, he still didn't give his Master any face at all!

Lucio's mouth twitched when he heard that.

”It seems like there is a wisp here in need of a beating. Good, good!”

Krune didn't care, though.

”Hmph! Knowing you, I reckon that it is very possible that you are trying to pull my leg. Don't think that I will fall for your tricks all the time, old geezer.”

Lucio was feeling helpless. That really is his Master. He wanted to brag about how talented his first disciple is. Still, it turned out that he is being humiliated like that. But then again, it was his mistake to not think about such a possibility.

Lani, who was hearing everything from the side, suddenly laughed.

”Hahaha! No wonder you took him as a disciple. Now then, aren't the two of you just made for each other? If you two swapped your souls, even I would have some difficulty to notice the change.”

Lucio heard that and felt embarrassed.

Lani then came forward and extended his hand.

”Hello there, kid. I'm your idiot Master's Master, or your Grandmaster if you prefer. I have to say that you are exactly as I thought you would be.”

Since the man was being polite, Krune obviously followed suit and shook his hand.

”I'm Krune, the wisp that was forced to become the old geezer's disciple, or your grand disciple if you prefer.”

Lani nodded, satisfied.

”Don't blame him too much. You might not know this, but this Lucio now is already excellent. You definitely wouldn't want to meet that young boy from 50 thousand years ago.”

Lucio was feeling like crying.

”Master!”

Lani looked at Lucio and said.

”Shut up! I'm not saying any lies here. Besides, you will have the chance to do the same with your disciple's disciples.”

Lucio sighed and just shook his head.

Krune, on the other hand, got an amazingly good first impression of this man.

”Grandmaster, I think we are going to get along very well.”

Lani nodded and then said.

”Alright, I already helped you get back at him a little. Let's go back into the business.”

Lani then retreated and let Lucio do the talk.

”Cough, cough. Anyway, Master was curious about the fact that I finally got a disciple, so he came to check on you. We will go through the things that you learned and then do some battle practice to check this new Flying Shields of yours.”

Krune nodded and then immediately started to do what Lucio was asking.

”Let me check your improvement with the Elemental Regulation Technique.”

Krune then sent a line of spiritual energy forward. Lucio looked at that and nodded.

”Good. I can see that you are getting close to the middle stage of the technique.”

Lani was also looked at that and couldn't help but give some praise in his mind. Lucio was already very good back then when he passed this technique to him, but Krune proved to be even better at that.

Krune then spent the next days practicing and listening to his Master's words. Finally, Lucio told Krune.

”Alright, that is enough for now, you just need to digest everything you learned. For now, let's move into some combat practice. I want to see just how good you became with your flying shields.”

Krune was ecstatic. The time that he had been waiting for was here!
