67 Pride Is Useless (1/2)

”...”

Dean was initially shocked at the proposition and wanted to curse the shameless man in front of him.

The audacity to propose a ridiculous idea with such a blank face was testing the limits of his sanity but logic told him to stay calm.

A sword to the neck and the realization that he had no control on knowing who the murderer of Leonard was, he had to stay quiet.

Pulling his head back down, Dean was left tocontemplate the choices he currently had.

Christian was the only liability he had and Dean was willing to sell out those who betrayed him if that was what it took to get any information.

However the flaw was that Christian had no reason to divulge the identity of the murderer.

Knowing how he acted and the schemes he used, Dean would guess that he would purposely wait to give me any info in order to throw off my unstable mentality and to ask for a higher reward to exchange.

Currently the one thing he could do that pays him with a guaranteed life and who murdered Leonard was in front of him.

Slowly kneeling to show courtesy and bashing his head onto the floor that caused a small hole to break into the room beneath, Dean proved his sincerity for apprenticeship.

”I, Dean swear absolute-”

A hand suddenly patted him on the back as a voice rang next to his ear

”You're too hasty, who wants an old man that can't even use proper Wind Magic. I see you're a young man with great potential that I must have.”

The sword that was once pointed at him was now in its sheath while the man praised him.

”Oi, at least i'm not an ignorant youth who will probably never get a lady. You're still a pitiful child but I know that you're secretly a genius.”

Dean stayed quiet as he didn't wish to add any comments that could risk his life but tried to nonchalantly laugh.

He drew the conclusion that the both may have a grudge against each other which was why they were arguing over such a small matter.

”Now, young one. Quickly kneel and fully claim that I am your master.”

”This old man is trying to scam you out of the prime of your life. Get up and turn towards my direction.”

This pointless drama eventually made Dean start to test the waters.

The one with the sword would definitely have material that Dena could learn from however it was incomparable to the information the other teacher had.

”I'm sorry but he knows the murderer of my friend”

He was left in surprise for suddenly being rejected and made a subtle move that threw the teacher off guard.

It was equivalent to a light bulb going *ding* inside his mind.

Rushing to the paper on the desk, pages were flung into the air as the elder teacher realized what he was doing and quickly restrained him.

Breaking free from the shackles of the air, he grabbed a piece of paper and immediately shredded it.

”WAIT, I had been writing up that paper for the past hour. It had all the resources.”

Being left to sulk, the teacher faced the wall with his head down.
