Chapter 90: Elize’s Master
"This sentence... Did the Master understand the meaning of that sentence? I’m not sure that the Master came up with that sentence alone..."
An involuntary cough came out of Elize’s mouth. There was no calm expression on Elize’s face. On the contrary, her face continuously showed signs of nervousness.
"Cough. Of course. Those were words that my master gave me directly in the past. She once said that a long time ago, the Human race also formed strong bonds with one another in order to continue to survive. Since then, I have considered forming bonds together to be one of the main keys for someone to survive in this cruel world."
Hearing the phrase "human" come out of Elize’s mouth reminded me of the time when I read a history book about the Human race. That was the moment I learned that the Human race in the past was no different from ants that could be killed at any time. But now, the Human race has a strong foundation that allows it to survive against the overwhelming power of every race throughout the world.
"Human... Since I am also a human, is that the reason why the Master decided to accept me as a disciple?"
Silence involuntarily fell over the entire place. Both Athena and the other women were very curious about the answer Elize would give to my question. Moreover, Athena really wanted to know why Elize could so easily accept a human like me as her disciple.
From the start, Athena was the reason why Elize decided to take me as her disciple. But that was not at all within Athena’s expectations regarding how Elize would accept me as her disciple. However, there was never a time when Elize decided to accept someone else as her disciple.
Lucien is the only disciple Elize has had to date. Although at first Elize was hesitant about whether to accept Lucien as her disciple or not, she decided to accept him after seeing how her best friend forced her to take her lover as a disciple.
"Sigh... Cien, did you know that my master is not from the Dragon race at all?"
"So what is she..."
"What you think is correct. My master is a human. Moreover, she is an extraordinarily strong human woman with abundant magical knowledge. She has the talent to become a powerful figure like the Dragon Emperor and the Silver Divine Dragon."
Only Elize knew how strong her master was as a witch. The origin of Elize’s master was that of someone from the Human race. Even though Elize’s master was a woman, she possessed talent that surpassed that of every other human on the Life Continent.
A human being born with a talent for magic is the rarest thing to find within the Human race. Therefore, not all humans can possess the same talent as Elize’s master. For that reason, Elize decided to choose a human master as her guide.
Among all living beings throughout the world, only Elize’s master could provide complete guidance to Elize herself. Elize’s talent was one of the reasons why her master decided to make Elize her disciple. However, since she was young, Elize had been born with talents that surpassed the common sense of living beings throughout the world.
"That’s great. I didn’t expect that there would be a human like her born among the Human race. They are really strong." The praise given by Athena came from her pure desire to praise the greatness of Elize’s master. As both a rival and friend of Elize, Athena truly respected Elize’s master because she had guided Elize to become who she was today.
For some reason, every gaze from the women in that place subconsciously shifted towards Lucien’s figure. I, who had previously been deep in thought, couldn’t help but show a wary expression. It isn’t a pleasant thing to receive stares from every beautiful woman standing around me.
Luckily, the women standing around me were women I considered family. But as a man, I was very happy to be surrounded by beautiful women like Athena, Elize, Heilde, Ariel, Tifa, and Tina. For some reason, an embarrassed expression involuntarily appeared on my handsome face.
"Does that mean brother-in-law has the potential to surpass Sister Elize’s master? That means our brother-in-law is very strong?!"
"Eh? That compliment sounds really uncomfortable... Ariel, please don’t praise me too much like that. I’m just lucky to have been born with this extraordinary talent."
None of the women denied Ariel’s words regarding the extraordinary talent possessed by the man near them. For the women, the strength and talent that I had shown before were enough to make me a powerhouse throughout the world.
With only my current level of strength, I could easily destroy a small country whenever and wherever I wanted. Even so, the women knew that it was impossible for the man near them to do bad things to all living beings throughout the world.
"Isn’t it a problem if you receive praise from my little sisters? That’s the reality. Don’t put yourself down just because you were born a human."
Listening to Athena’s remarks regarding the lack of confidence I had shown made me unable to hold back my happy expression. There was no problem with me being humble because I was a human being. However, almost every living being throughout the world underestimated members of the Human race.
"Thank you. But I just want to remain humble even if I have extraordinary strength and talent. After all, I am still the future husband of the future Dragon Queen. Isn’t that right, Hena?"
Almost every woman present knew the embarrassed reaction shown by Athena after hearing the words I had spoken earlier. Moreover, Elize couldn’t hold back her coughing. For some reason, the image of her disciple becoming the king of the Dragonia Kingdom appeared in Elize’s mind.
Nothing impossible would happen as long as her disciple was the future husband of the future Dragon Queen. Because Athena had full rights to inherit the throne from Lucius and Lilith, she had been designated as the legal heir who would replace them in the future.
"You... you embarrass me. Hopefully... I hope something like that will happen sooner or later..."
A small grin involuntarily appeared on my face when I saw the happy expression shown by Athena at that moment. Instead of remaining silent and staring at Athena’s beautiful expression, I immediately hugged Athena lovingly without thinking.
’That’s right. This woman was my first love after I was first born into this world. No woman can replace Athena’s position as the first love in my heart. I won’t let anyone hurt her...’
The embarrassment that Athena had previously shown began to grow even stronger than before. The hug given by her lover did not allow Athena to maintain her calm expression at all. On the contrary, Athena continuously inhaled her lover’s scent, which carried a strong and masculine aroma.
