Chapter 2: How Disrespectful Indeed (2/2)

”Master! They're infected with some sort of zombie virus! If you get bitten you'll die!” One of my disciples shouted in my direction.

”Zombies, you say? Did you really just say, zombies? How absurd! Ahaha~! ” I guffawed, shrugging off the prank as I simultaneously sent Rong flying a few hundred meters away from me using a single punch. He skittered away and it was obvious he suffered an incredible amount of broken bones and injury.

Let that be a lesson for you, Rong. I hope that's enough to make you quit in my sect.

Once again, I gave the said disciple another skeptical glance before speaking. ”If you're planning to carry on with this bizarre and unusual festival then, herewith, I command you all to stop now! This isn't amusing, to say the least!”

For a moment, all of them stopped chasing and being chased by each other. But a split second after their halt, they started rushing towards me as if to encourage that I join them. This is nonsense! There's distinctly no way I would partake in such trifling activities!

This just proved how much disrespect my disciples really had towards their one and only master. And in order to teach them a lesson, I sent all of them flying just like I did when Rong launched himself to me.

”Master! You have to believe us! Some sort of virus outbreak occurred and everyone infected by it started acting feral. Even Natalia is infected. You have to believe us!” One of my disciples desperately pleaded as he kneeled to the ground. By the looks of his eyes, I could tell that he was extremely desperate for me to believe him.

At this point, I was beginning to wonder if I should give him the benefit of the doubt. After all, this certain disciple of mine isn't one to tell jokes willy-nilly. In fact, he was one of the most rational disciples I could ever hope for. Well, he's rational but that doesn't mean he's smart.

”So, you're telling me, that human rabies is finally a thing of the present?!” I reconfirmed, trying to affirm if what he was saying was the plain truth. ”How long have I been in my slumber that I've been ignorant in these world-changing events?”

When I looked over my shoulder, I saw that Natalia was still digging through my neck! By now, it's starting to feel rather weird for me. I didn't expect her to sink my teeth on my neck for a long period of time. ”Hey, Natalia? Don't you think we should do this later? I know you missed me that much but don't you think we should at least be more secretive about this? I mean, I'm your master and you're my disciple. Our relationship is one thing but I have an image I have to uphold in front of the others.” I reasoned, whispering in her ear in hopes that she would heed my words.

She paused, then after staring at my eyes for a split second, she continued biting my neck even deeper! ”Grgnghnrgngh~” She responded. I thought she was trying to tell me something but her teeth were in too deep that she just made unintelligible sounds.

But later, I would find out just how much I overlooked.
