Chapter 281: Accepting Teachers! (2/2)

Out of all the students, only a single person raised his hand. It was not like they weren't interested in it. It was just that they knew that formation creation was the hardest of all professions. It was too hard to learn it, and there was a chance that they might die of old age without completely mastering it. They knew their limits; thus, they didn't express their interest.

After Formation Lord left, Sword Lord, Saber Lord, Energy Lord, and Love Lord each introduced themselves. The remaining four people left with them, leaving only Elliot and Pill Emperor behind.

They both stared at each other in the eyes, none willing to be the first one to blink.

”Why are you here?” Pill Emperor asked.

”What do you mean why? Isn't it obvious that I'm here to learn alchemy from you?” Elliot replied.

”Oh, you know what I mean. You're extremely powerful, and even I don't feel confident in defeating you. Someone like you could easily pick up the best of the alchemy technique and master all those techniques without the guidance of others. There's no need for you to come here, lower your head to me, accept me as your teacher, just to learn alchemy. So, let me ask you again, why are you here?” Pill Emperor sharp eyes looked straight at Elliot, trying to peer at his soul, see if he was lying or not.

”No matter how many times you ask, my answer will remain the same,” Elliot said, speckles of honestly plenty in his eyes.

”Let me guess, did someone send you here to spy on us?” Pill Emperor probed.

Elliot rolled his eyes. What spy? What bullshit was this paranoid person spewing?

”Are you going to go back on your words and not teach me? Or are you going to do as you said and teach me, the first one to reacher here, alchemy?” Elliot asked with a straight face, hiding any emotions.

”I'm a man of my words.” Pill Emperor said.

Whatever evil intention Eliot was cooking, he will know soon anyway.

For now, he will keep his enemy close to him and teach him alchemy.

Once he finds some evidence against him and makes sure that he was plotting to harm the celestial mountain, he would sacrifice himself to take him down!
