22 First Lesson from The Master Elihim (2/2)

”I'm serious!”, Elihim wanted to hit this kid, ”You no longer have any limiter. You can even surpassed me in the future. Maybe you can even be the second strongest of all the worlds, heavens, hells, and realms.”

”I know you are exaggerating but why second?”

”Hahah, well, He will still above all.”

”Who's he?”, Rin's curiousity doesn't seemed to be satiated that easily.

Elihim sighed and said, ”He, the God.”

”Huh? I thought that you are already a god?”, everyone is going to be confused by this, not only Rin.

”You know, almost all of your religion points to Him, the Omnipotent God.”, Elihim spoke with cautious, ”He is the start of everything and He will be the end. He is the only Judge to all living things, including me. No one can stand above Him.”

Rin sensed that Elihim wanted to escape the topic so he followed, ”Okay… I accept, Master Elihim!”

”Gahahahaha! Good! Good! Since it seemed like we both can't wait any longer. I will impart you a teaching before I let you rest. Listen well.”

Rin nodded.

”Do not be vain. You hold an extremely high potential but do not hold yourself higher than where you currently are and live for yourself and not for others, in that way, you will have fun.”, Elihim smiled.

”Live for myself? Isn't that being selfish?”

”No, base on what I've been all through all my lifeI can definitely say that people live for themselves. Even if you don't know about this, you will still do it, it is only natural. I only told you so that you don't have to be conscious about being selfish.”

”Then I can't protect others in that way.”, Rin was a bit conflicted and started to doubt Elihim.

”The question is: Do you want to protect them?”

Rin's eyes widened, he was enlightened.

”Oh, looks like you got it.”, Elihim was a bit surprised, ”Then I'll let you rest first. Tomorrow, we will start to improve yourself. We will be training your confidence tomorrow.”

With a sudden blow of wind, his body disappeared. His voice faded along with his body.

While Rin still stood there, in dazed.

”If only I want to protect them… which means that I still do thing accordance to myself. What about others who care for their friends, are they living for their self too?”

”Actually! They are… As a human, we need friends. They are entertainment and we share bond that will help us. If they don't fit us then we avoid them and only make them an acquaintance. We only make friends out of its benefits but it is the same as for those friends too.”

Rin didn't stop to ponder and started to walk, leaving the thugs behind. He has not a bit of care for them.

”We only care about our love ones because we will be hurt if they are too. If they are gone then we will be heartbroken. If they stayed by our side then we will become happy. That is why we only care for them but in the end, we still cared and kept loving. Is that what Master was trying to say? I want ponder about this more but I'm feeling a bit tired today.”, His body was long been void of the soft blue light earlier.
