66 Acceptance (1/2)

”Oi, treat your senior with some decent respect will you.”

The two teachers bickered at each other while the rain pitter pattered the rooftops in a gentle yet slow beat.

Continuing to argue while shaming the opponent all at the same time as redeeming their pride were the main topics.

One made a bet against the teacher Dean had met who was able to restrain them and they gambled on the fact how fast Dean would be able to overcome grief.

In general they were able to understand one things about the average mortals

Weak!

Most of the people they have met were weak willed and easily gave up to their emotions that caused them to be devoured by internal demons.

Those internal demons were the voices in their head that used negative emotions to deprive the victim of any safe haven.

Even tough cultivators that have dominated lands, survived spans of wars and eras would suddenly fail to become more powerful when they receive a setback such as a dead spouse.

One experience both were able to understand were the young ones that could be easily affected. Children as young as 7 suddenly losing a role model now contemplate in sadness that could last for 7 years.

7 years of grief!

This unbelievable concept that such a setback can cause a huge revelation drove the two teachers to now have conflicting view points.

Human emotions will drag on down into the pits of hell and only by abstaining from such immature thoughts will one be able to ascend to the top.

The teacher Dean encountered had the view that once a human is able to overcome grief with pure understanding and acceptance will they be able to thrive even further into the depths of cultivation.

Because the two perspectives were practically polar opposites it reflected their emotions and the way they handled things.

One would use violence and be extremely ruthless in order to find the necessary information for their mission while the other will patiently wait before making a move.

They both had paperwork to do as they were still teachers and marked their papers while shaming each other creating a comical scene.

A subtle knock echoed inside the room three times

*Knock**Knock**Knock*

Both stared at each other before they simultaneously screamed at the door

”Come in”

Glaring each other they scoffed and turned their heads in opposite directions.

He was drenched by the rain, looking like a drowned rat while his white shirt was now sticking to his body.

Closing the door he asked

”Who did it?”

His voice was quiet and sounded like a mice.

One of the teachers kept quiet as he had no idea who the child was while the teacher who invited him with his teacher code questioned him as he didn't hear what Dean said.

”What?”

Dean made sure to repeat the question once more
