21 Pride (2/2)

Dean gave a bow and said ”What can I do for you, Sir Gilet?” He said as he raised his head.

Gilet gave him a look for a while and said as a smile slowly appeared on his face ”You truly are interesting kid, the moment that you came here you only said ”Master” in front of me one time and at that time you were still hesitant and sounded disgusted.”

Dean raised his head, and gave a Gilet a surprised look, in his head he was cursing his former self when he went there for feeling like that or the fact that he was found out. Previously he only said the words ”Master Gilet” in order to get the job from him as he needed the money but it seems like he had notice his inner emotions at that time when his mind was still in a turmoil.

---- Seems like I won't be able to keep my job here. ---- he thought as he started revising the plan that he had on his head already and created a new one where he was asking Heto to reach him or learn it from the books.

But upon realizing that he already made a mistake Dean didn't keep his head down but held his head high ---- I will be fired already so why should I keep my head down when I do? ---- This was the thing that was inside his mind at this very moment.

His pride was already high even before his mind was in turmoil but now that he regained his mind and can think in a more proper and clearer manner the pride and self-confidence that he had also became higher and this pride was not letting him bow down to even Gilet in front of him.

He started waiting for the next where he would be fired at that moment but that did not happen and he didn't hear any shouting from Gilet, and instead of a shout he heard a solemn voice coming from him and a pair of eyes that look as sharp as an eagles.

”Good, I like your eyes full of pride and determination, you must think that I should be firing you now am I right?” Gilet said to him.

Dean nodded his head to him and said ”Aren't you? Well if you want to make me feel guilty about it or make my life harder because of what I said at that time, then you will have to take a certain amount of time before you do.” Dean clenched his fist under the cover of his long sleeves.

He gazed at the piercing eyes of Gilet and didn't break any eye contact from him, he started feeling some pressure around the air making him feel suffocated so he started circulating the chaotic void heart to calm himself down.

Gilet continued to look at him and with a smile still on his face he said ”Boy, you are still young but you already have the temperament of a flame, you are both calm but fiery, steady and prideful.”

Dean heard Gilet said what he just said and started being confused as to what he was saying all of a sudden, was that a compliment or something else? He didn't know what was happening at the moment.

Gilet look at his confused face and said ”You are the 5th ”helper” that I got from Freya and her Mother, but seems like you're the only one to make the cut of the rest, seems like the best is truly saved for last, boy follow me.” Gilet gestured to follow him towards the direction of the pond in the back.
