Chapter 605: Weatherman (1/2)

When Docky heard from Ottley that Truen and Zero managed to overcome the practical aspect of their training, he smiled. The Marissa was also coming together very well. Pocky's prototype worked, and they were remodelling the initial design.

”Very good,” Docky praised his disciple. ”Did they use magic?”

Ottley shook his head. It certainly wasn't magic. However, these people were still very powerful without it. He told his teacher how Zero pulled Truen with superhuman strength and sent them flying when he fished them out of the water.

Docky listened without asking questions. Ottley also told Docky how Zero grew wings when he launched himself into the air to save the member overboard after he was fished out of the water, twenty meters into the air.

”Did he really do that?”

Ottley nodded. ”Are we sure that he is the Chosen One and not some demon? Everything he does is out of this world.”

Docky only laughed and arranged something on his highly complex map. Ottley didn't know what that pin represented, but it certainly was important. His teacher wouldn't change the arrangements in the star chart without a good reason. Something big was going to happen again.

”Who is to say that the Chosen One isn't a demon? You should not judge a person so simply. Whatever the Chosen One is, he is still the Chosen One.”

At that, Ottley remained silent. He didn't know what Docky saw in Zero and Truen, but he was in no position to go against the Sea Hand brothers. Even Pocky was on Zero and Truen's side. Everybody loved them, but the more Ottley knew about what they could do, the more frightened he became. Compared to the sea monster that left him a scar all those years ago, this duo was on a level of their own. Without magic, they were this powerful. With magic, the sky was really their limit.

”Are you going to teach them navigation now?” Docky asked.

Ottley nodded. ”We will be learning how to identify sea patterns and weather signs starting tomorrow. After which, I will briefly introduce them to the logistics department to learn how to plan for their voyage before we start on charting and star reading.”

Docky hummed thoughtfully. The Marrissa was coming together quickly, thanks to Zero and Truen's assistance after their lessons. Magic was a really powerful ability. Two months was the quickest the sea otters could treat the undead wood needed to build the Marissa. The actual progress would take longer, but Docky and Pocky didn't tell them that it would take them two years to build the sinking ship without help. The Sea Hand brothers simply assumed that Zero and Truen would help, and they were right. They didn't expect their combined magic abilities to speed up production up so much that even the shipwrights couldn't cope.
